infections now as to why that has happened well there are different interpretations certainly some commentators are suggesting that it's complacency hong kong that its guard down after social distancing rules were relaxed several weeks ago that meant that people returned enthusiastically to bars restaurants and of course to the beaches medical experts offer a different view they point to hong kong's existing quarantine arrangements which exempt from quarantine people like pilots and crew mariners sailors as well as the drivers of lorries bring essential food supplies into hong kong now the hong kong government argues that if they were to place that category of workers into the current quarantine restrictions it would effectively put hong kong's food supply driscoll and they're not prepared to do that so i don't think that's going to change meanwhile the media on the mainland says that they believe the recent

protests as well as an unofficial poll that happened here in hong kong last weekend in which more than 610000 people took part is another reason why the virus is spreading now on sunday night the chief executive carol lam said the situation was in her words critical and she also said she wasn't sure when this new outbreak would be brought under control what is really worrying the government i think is that 40 percent of the new infections have no known source. the united states is still struggling to contain the world's biggest corona virus outbreak infections a surging in many parts including arizona florida and california they've been $3700000.00 cases nationwide and more than 140000 but president trump has downplayed the epidemic falsely claiming in an interview that the u.s. has one of the lowest mortality rates in the world allan official reports for more than the genea. what the white house described as embers has become

a blaze the us now is seeing around $70000.00 new cases of cold meat at the the president's own health expense expressing concern mask it has become a political issue now here we are not only with 70000 new cases almost every day but from my perspective also quite concerning the number of hospitalizations which is very close to being as high in the country as it was in back in april so yeah we got a really dollar down here a number of deaths is rising to arizona and florida breaking new records the residents here are terrified and i'm terrified for the 1st time in my career because there is a lack of leadership johns hopkins university has been tracking the virus since day one it says the u.s. has the 7th highest mortality rate in the world a figure disputed by the president in an interview with an american t.v. network i heard we have one of the lowest maybe the lowest mortality rate anywhere

in the world you have the numbers because i heard we had the best word salad will house republican governor has won his state could be the new florida he's numbers are heading in the wrong direction but he's still not ready to issue a state wide order telling people to wear masks really in the message is that you were the mask for other people who wear the mask to protect your grandmother you wear the mask too and so it's not just the orders the orders are obviously important but getting people to buy in and to. understand and there's a warning there may have to be a new law tones across the country meanwhile it's been reported that the white house is trying to block billions of dollars for increased testing and contact tracing democrats want $75000000000.00 and many republicans are no saying that they would support the move if that would help bring the coronavirus crisis in the united states under control alan fischer al-jazeera northern virginia.

deadlock and division a gripping the european union right balance its leaders struggle to compromise on a major economic rescue package to help countries hit by the pandemic leaders will meet for a 4th time after sunday's talks stretch throughout the night ending without a deal in parker has more now on the efforts to avoid what could be one of the worst european recessions in decades. how to share $857000000000.00 the questions confounded e.u. leaders for days and deepened all divisions within the block in one camp nations known as the frugal for austria denmark sweden and the netherlands the wealthy northern states pay the most per capita into the e.u. shared reserves they want strict controls on how the recovery fund is shared prefer into loan countries money the positions at odds with spain and italy both economies were hit hard by the pandemic they want generous grants from the bloc that don't need to be repaid the german chancellor angela merkel and french president emmanuel

mccrone have been trying to broker a compromise by offering e.u. countries a combination of loans and grants but can't agree on how to do this. these compromises and i say this very clearly it will not be made at the cost of the european goal not out of principle but will be made because we are facing an unprecedented health economic and social crisis and because our countries need it european unity needs it a fierce argument also erupted between the dutch prime minister mark reiter and his hung garion counterpart viktor orban over whether money should be withheld from countries that fail to live up to the e.u.'s core values in recent years victor or bans governments been accused of attacks on the media minorities and the rule of law charges which he denies i don't know what is the person lol. reason for the

dutch prime minister to meet me or hungary but he's attacking saul harshly and making very clear that because hungary in his opinion does not respect the rule of law must be punished financially that's his position which is not acceptable you have places its deepest recession since the 2nd world war the road to recovery hangs on solidarity need bark at al-jazeera david has no horn is chief brussels correspondent of politico magazine he says that relations between the e.u. member states are as fragile as the economic outlook. the e.u. budget 7 year financial plan in this case amounting to approximately one trillion euro more than that obviously in dollars is always the most controversial negotiation that leaders leaders go through $27.00 countries in this case all have to agree on what programs they're going to lay out how they're going to set their priorities over the course of the next 7 years add into that this historic

situation with the coronavirus pandemic and the worst economic shock since the great depression now they're looking at this recovery effort a really new concept for the e.u. which is to borrow giant sums of money on the financial markets together and then give grants to the countries that need help this means that the e.u. would borrow together but then give to countries where recovery is most needed italy of course hard hit spain they are feeling very left alone in certain respects and what they want to remind the netherlands and austria. denmark and sweden is that those countries manufacture things they sell things it's great that they had to triffitt rainy day fund saved up they were a much stronger financial position to have that umbrella open and be ready for the storm when it hit but in fact they'll be standing out there alone under their umbrella unless they make sure that italy spain france all these countries are also able to recover in the same way so what you hear is a lot of talk about divergence germany has recognized this how quickly did germany

was able to unleash more than a trillion euro in support of its own economy other countries have not been able to do that they're already saddled with debt so they need this help and they're trying to explain that all together that you can make sure they recover in a much more cohesive way than if they struggle on their own saudi arabian state media is reporting the king solomon has been admitted to hospital for medical checks the 84 year old monk was taken to king via faisal specialised hospital in the capital riyadh early on monday with what's being described as inflammation of the cool blood. a prominent saudi journalist has died after contracting covert 192 months after being released from prison that's according to local media reports. he was sentenced to 5 years in prison and 2018 for insulting the wall course after a t.v. appearance criticizing corruption in the kingdom he once worked under the murdered saudi journalist jamal. mollies opposition has called for more protests rejecting
