framing this as an ideological battle between the free democracies of the west and the communist party of china it was a real window into the trumpet ministrations approach on all of this now critics would say that pompei always framing this in very simplistic cold war terms and that they need to really think about diplomatic solutions because the effect of a breakdown in relations between these 2 nations will have a great deal of impact on businesses here many people getting their products made in china many people having factories based in china mr pompei or made it pretty clear that president shop is not a man to be meddled with when it comes between this ideological battle between these 2 nations so you're seeing arrests being made you're seeing consulates closing break down relations might pompei is saying any claims that the chinese have in the south china sea are illegitimate and in fact they even sent 2 cruise

ships to that region so escalating tensions worrying a great deal of people to what extent that they do we have to look at this move by the u.s. in the context of november's election. i think it's big it's going to be a central platform you going to have president trump talking about joe biden being from the radical left he's already been doing that for a few years and you going to hear him talk about taking on the communist party in china it is in some regards i think a deflection from his handling of the pandemic which is called the chinese flu squarely putting blame for the pandemic on the chinese but i think it will form a central message he hasn't really got much of a central message at the moment it's more of divide and conquer with the american electorate but this will form i think a platform a central platform of his re-election campaign saying look i am donald trump i am the only man that is able to take on the chinese help point to the trade deal that he tried to force through no the previous administrations have done that might

pompei i was saying past administrations have been very naive when coming to handling the chinese communist party so i think that will play big in november's presidential elections on 0 as andy gallagher reporting live from miami andy many thanks indeed nightclubs and event holes are being closed down again in barcelona and elsewhere across the spanish region of catalunya have been more than 218 new outbreaks of covert 19 across the country with infections that tripling in the past 2 weeks the world health organization says that europe needs to better coordinate its response. what we're really trying to get here is a move from as i said before using a very big hammer to trying to be more precise and what we're doing instead of restricting everyone we try and go after the virus and we try and identify where the virus is and then specifically and surgically in a sense excised the virus from the community by minimizing the impact on the lives

and livelihoods of the community by focusing in on cases and contacts and investigation so countries coming out of lockdown even countries with lower levels of disease will experience potential cases and clusters of disease. that they outbreaks are beginning to restrict freedom of movement between spain and other european nations. we even had belgium banning. travelers from going belgian travelers from going to where sky and i go on and you either the city that was primarily the 1st eruption of the of of the reemergence of cove it in the region alongside with that you have norway also now imposing a 10 day quarantine on people who've traveled back from spain and also france now urging people not to travel there and has requested the spanish government to

try drastically reduce the amount of traffic going between its orders course france there are many tourists from france who do travel to spain and with also a slightly rising uptick in cases in france there as well the worry is of course that the going to be more brutal waves of kobe that could follow if it's not contained and if it's not really kept down with that in mind of course that the it's the summer season in spain and really the lockdowns have come down people have resumed practically normal activities there in terms of socialising one of the major causes of concern is what is the way in which people have done the informal sort of parties and gatherings that are allowed there where mainly young people sort of gather with drinks that they bought and congregate there and that's also sort of a cause of consent trying to clamp down on that brazil's president says that he's recovered from covert 19 after testing negative for the virus jaya balsa laro has

that these are russian state jets obviously wagner group or mercenary groups don't really have their own air force so this is and saying that the russians are building up their influence in libya we also saw the russian and the turks suggesting that there is a work in there creating a working group to sort of deescalate the situation. and at the same time on monday president donald trump and president sisi are discussing a phone call about the escalating the situation but at the same time the egyptian parliament unanimously approved sending troops abroad now many people here think that if president sisi was to deploy troops it would further escalate the situation and would further destabilize the country and have to say the feeling here is that libyans are increasingly being taken out of the decision making process.

are expected the a hearty al-jazeera. they were williams is a distinguished professor of history at the university of st thomas in minnesota he says the way that the federal government is handling the process is concerning. i think what's happening in portland right now is very disturbing to many primarily because it is an overreach by the federal government to involve itself in local politics this is unprecedented in american history typically when you have a situation like this where local authorities are overwhelmed or cannot i'm conduct the business of the state they reach out to the federal government for assistance in this case you have the federal government the trumpet ministration actually deploying federal agencies federal law enforcement agencies to states and cities where the president has deemed the local authorities incompetent to deal with this threat but it's also very much politicized so there's a great deal of consternation about what for most people is an unconstitutional

measure taken on by the federal government to involve itself in local affairs part of the challenge here is that we had a situation where the united states with the murder of 2 or floyd were black lives matter protesters were again making the case that the federal government and the states needed to do something with police brutality and streets present from politicized that message by arguing that calls for the fun police were really thing we failed attempts to undermine on the state and he's politicized an issue really which at its core was about democratic values and not about alternately what the president ought to do by saying it's weak democratic mayors in cities that are controlled by democrats that can't control their populace and so he's trying to take attention away from the protesters and their central message but at the same time he's trying to do this and score political points with his base which obviously support this idea that we don't need to defund police we simply need more police a memorial for the late u.s.
