to vacate but a state run newspaper says the u.s. was notified that it has until monday and accuses staff at the u.s. consulate. of meddling with its internal affairs for more let's cross to try to use in trying to control the why has trying to chosen to do as the consummate that it wants closer believe there are several. that's like a mother so they give you bit of context we are now in the street the us consulate is located about 300 meters in that direction but we're not able to get very close because it's really blocked off and there are dozens of police monitoring the area and what china has said is the reason this particular conflict has it is because some of the software that they say have been involved in activities not consistent with capacity when pressed they didn't give any details of poles but also we know that this is a significant mission and terms of its location here in china were in the south

west region and it acts as quite an important listening post for any happenings and issues taking place and into that not happening is also a reason that as you mentioned we don't know exactly when they're expected to close that state media says 10 am on monday morning and what's happening down the street really down there is reflecting what's happening in the u.s. in texas and houston. expecting to see. him there some we saw some images of some stuff entering presumably to pack up their things and go now here in china the reaction to this closing is that people have been quite supportive of it saying that support beijing making a strong stand against what they considered an unjustified move to close the chinese went in that in texas yesterday there was a man who came and set off fire crackers quite cheaply in front of the building and some sort of celebration of their sort of saying you know to the u.s. stop to go home he was arrested but on chinese social media he's been hailed as somewhat of a hero

a whole china is furious about what happened in texas in houston they say this essentially is payback for that and they said it's up to washington now to reset. not china will just hit back the head. and they continued to deny that there was any already sort of intellectual property that's taking place in the consulate in fact literally just one live been talking to you we've seen a live shot it looks like a few dozen police offices walking into the building. that's a live shot from outside the american consulate there ok if you stand by katrina we want to bring our viewers up to speed on another story developing story involving china and australia says china's claims in the disputed south china sea have no legal basis that declaration was made to the united nations bringing canberra further in line with washington washington has long opposed beijing's claims but

stopped short of calling them illegal until last week. so we're trying to have we have no reaction from beijing on back home on the declaration from australia. not yet kim it is the weekend yes saturday morning in kind of a week that they will have a statement out sometime soon any issue to do with territory is really a sensitive red line you shoot for china they're likely to be curated by this response by this move by a friend yet they've always held that that territory in the south china sea the majority of that territory it has been historically and legally part of china they have the so-called 9 dash line which give much of that disputed territory to china of course this is also very much disputed by many of china's neighbors including the viet nam and in the e.u. and that was also mentioned in that statement from this really acute the united nations now as we understand at the australian foreign minister. zarif pain is due to meet the head with the plot in the us on pay or sometime next week and this was

basically kind of friendly because everything accused that making up that we could do you are in line with the us or strongly as well it's important to note that the us is the biggest. the foreign direct investment in astronomy in australia is made to curate ally as well china likely to repeat some statements that they've said in the past were gone astray and moved that money is simply acting as will the lapdogs all that from administration certainly ties between australia and china are also lost earlier this year by prime minister scott morrison the israeli prime minister said he was pushing for an investigation into the current virus pandemic origin in china beijing was not happy about that taking that at some point a finger pointing at china call this pandemic and they responded by blocking some imports of a friendly and b. and bali to china i think that takara spondon to katrina you there live from turn

health agency has issued guidelines calling for the full rio think of schools in september even as coronavirus infection spike in large parts of the country the centers for disease control insists that it is safe for children to return to class as it's unlikely that they will contract or transmit the virus rob reynolds with this report. as covert billy jean continues to surge in parts of the u.s. the debate over how and when to send children and teachers back to school has taken center stage. president donald trump wants schools to reopen for in person lessons in the coming weeks even if various transmission inflator studies come out so let's say we believe that students should be going back to school because the effect on a child we know scientifically they are not affected in the same way as an adult's drug not true says dr anthony thought she of the national institutes of health i think we still need to learn

a lot about children you know elementary school children getting infected what the percentage of their infection is and whether they either spread or not efficiently to adults has happened either fauji says there's new data indicating older children may be efficient spreaders of covert 19 who could give the disease to their teachers parents grandparents and others were his children 10 to 19 appear to be spreading infection to adults as equally as well as adults spread to adults yet there's still a lot to learn about what the prevalence and incidence of infection is in children and as a group do they spread do they get any bodies what's the in family spread or not just weeks ago the country's top public health institution the centers for disease control issued a cautious set of guidelines on school reopening those guidelines were criticized

by trump who said they were too restrictive. now the c.d.c. has made an abrupt about face with new guidelines saying it is critically important for public health to reopen schools a group of 150 eminent public health experts many of them from the country's top universities published an open letter this week urging political leaders to shut down the country again now and start over they say all non-essential businesses should close people should stay home and mask wearing should be mandatory. if you don't take these actions the letter says the consequences will be measured in widespread suffering and death robert oulds al-jazeera the trunk's democratic presidential rival has also weighed in on the issue costing dolphin the president's commitment 1st of all i believe high you know i want to open schools and the

question is will the president do the work to make it safe you know just ordered schools to open like trump has done isn't good enough we've got to do the hard work getting the virus under control now and over the next 2 months and be you're open to now many cases but trump doesn't want to do that hard work he just wants to order schools open because he's afraid to be dozens going hurt his reelection chances ross not about his re-election it's about the safety and security of our children and our teachers in the neighborhoods. meanwhile a surge of corona virus cases in florida has prompted officials to start using covered 19 isolation centers the idea is to stop the spread of the virus among the most vulnerable there are warnings that the strategy comes with risks and gallacher reports from miami. the coronavirus pandemic has taken a heavy toll on florida's elderly residents a staggering majority of the fatalities here are those 65 and older and with an expansive network of assisted living facilities and nursing homes the danger for

seniors is serious like other states around the nation florida is turning to isolation centers for the elderly the state now has more than 2 dozen of them that is and to prevent the spread of coated 19 give patients the attention they need and free up space in the state's already strained hospitals covert nursing homes are places where a hospital could discharge safely long term care resident who's covered positive also has a place where if there is infections inside a long term care facility a long term care facility consent of the coven only facility in a state ravaged by the pandemic the bay oaks retirement home in miami is an exception there have been no coronavirus cases here but if any resident falls ill stassi isolation is a good option i think it's a great idea so if somebody has it they should be in a place where they can be monitored by professionals who are experienced whatever

limited or experienced people now is a terrible disease for the past 2 weeks in florida the number of new daily cases has hovered around 10000 miami has now mandated the wearing of masks but in other parts of the state those who can easily spread the virus are ignoring medical advice the number of cases among those who work with the elderly has also risen sharply but some experts say isolating elderly patients who contract covert 19 may not be the best thing one of the things not all. often talked about during this pandemic is the mental health aspect of living through these difficult times many elderly residents on to allow to see relatives social interaction is in many places not allowed and moving those who are infected with covert 19 may be detrimental to all involved those who specialize in geriatric care say isolation and patient transfers has its drawbacks many residents are very confused by the situation and

with perhaps alzheimer's or dementia may not understand fully what's going on and why are they no longer being visited every day by by relatives around 20 percent of florida's population is over the age of $65.00 but even in communities like the villages where people are 55 and older cases have quadrupled since the beginning of the month while isolation units for those who fall ill as seen as a good strategy risks remain for this state's older population whether they live in care facilities or not and a gala crowd is here or miami florida still had all knowledge is there potentially my life expectancy is shortening every day this this and carries on warnings millions in missing out on important cancer screenings because of the corona virus and then. we hear from people in the poor and bangladesh affected by the worst of monsoon rains in a tease. the

edge effect to the southwest monsoon give enough moisture for thunderstorms and a man sometimes downed in yemen or southwest and saudi those are probably useful if the if they do give flashlights what's less useful is what's floating around the atmosphere when the wind isn't blowing the chance of $41.00 entire hansei was dubai is a humid atmosphere and it feels it you've got dry heat in baghdad a $47.00 or $48.00 that sort of water and the same is true in a good part of saudi arabia attempt is tend to be higher at the mo really dying would face but the most i can tell you is that it's highest in these countries surrounding the gulf now the southwest monsoon itself tends to try and generate tropical cycles is trying to do that here which will throw some moisture up towards the coast of kenya and somalia otherwise you get the daily showers of the ethiopian

highlands service on sudan over lake victoria and then a bit of a gap to beyond sea for you pick up let me more and hans just because of what's happening in the indian ocean in the wind direction this plenty of clatter and so little rays like the madagascar unequally shells are more likely now in mozambique this passes in barwon maybe some parts of them being full of most part of course southern africa is dry and quite warm at the moment. talk to older 0. is the government not taking the necessary action to really address some of the structural issues we listen i still think that air travel is the safest mode of travel and to spend that we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter on the 000 every generation has a higher purpose. ours is.

i just think if it could be caught early then i have more chance of having a longer longer with my children and and i feel that by the. these now phone appointments with my oncologist there's no absolutely no chance that the cancer is ever going to be detected at an early stage and therefore potentially my life expectancy is shortening every day this carries on coronavirus has put a huge strain on cancer services many treatments tests and screening for poor sister were diverted to deal with covert and because of safety concerns cancer research estimate there have been about 38000 fewer cancer treatments in the u.k. since the end of march most clinical trials which can help extend life were halted a many people who would normally have visited a doctor with worries about cancer stayed away scientists at the london school of hygiene and tropical medicine estimate there could be around 3 and a half 1000 potentially avoidable deaths in england from the 4 main cancers by 2025

because of the pandemics impact while the institute of cancer research warns delays to diagnosis and treatment for as little as 2 months during lockdown could lead to some cancers going from being curable to being more advanced it's not like heart attacks or strokes where you're seeing the effects quite so immediately that with can't 7 that delay that they'll still come along now still have their surgery but rather than being cured and having 30 years of life expectancy there will be a proportion of people here they haven't recovered so that comes a jitter that in they that have. in 2 or 3 years' time medical staff delivering cancer care trying to clear the backlog of patients that are operating in unprecedented circumstances it's really important that as we focused on covert that we must have that cancer become the forgotten see. we want to see priority given to

catching up with cancer services and making sure that delays don't impact on patients outcome and that we minimize the impact on treatment delays the full impact of this pandemic on diseases such as cancer won't be know the year is lower recently found a swelling in her abdomen and is hoping she'll never get to see someone quickly but the reassurance will help she might need and he would. u.s. aviation authorities have ordered emergency inspections of boeing 737 passenger planes there warning of possible corrosion on parks or aircraft that could lead to engine failure there have been 4 reports of sudden shutdowns authorities want inspections of planes that have not flown for more than 7 days the coronavirus pandemic has forced the grounding of much of the world's planes chile's president has signed into law a plan to allow citizens to withdraw up to 10 percent of their pension savings for

a government directive and the last straw. for you from the we called him on the phone and said we would like to initiate the end that we no longer want to work in dix after this about 60 members of the 90 people on the staff at the scene they also resigned ending their work at index. index's long been regarded as hungry as key independent media outlet but it has also been a target of this man hungary's prime minister viktor orban who once branded a fake news factory one of his allies recently took charge of its sales are perhaps a sign of things to come. critics say the government is trying to bring as many independent media outlets under its control. we are of the editorial staff which today probably made one of the biggest sacrifices and risks to shine a spotlight on what's happening and how a newsroom can be destroyed how even the strongest and most read news portals can be ruined in hungary. one popular columnist reminded the crowd of the 2018
