12:03 am
he saw the us show concerning the situation in catalonia which is displaying worsened indicators for infection there as you know those who are going to get is are deteriorating we strongly encourage french citizens to avoid going there until the health situation improves and. this is the high season for tourism and many working in the sector are already feeling the drastic impact of the pandemic in the thing to be able to keep in all the years that i have been here this is catastrophic things were good for a time over the past weeks but not now even 2 weeks ago you saw more people out but not now there is nothing nothing. all over the country towns and cities are once again closing up after a much awaited easing of restrictions the last couple proper track and trace system is prompting an increase in infections around the country it was hoped that the summer would deliver a pause in the pandemic but the. just nature of the coronavirus seems to once again
12:04 am
trump optimism of a rest might any time soon sunny diagonal al-jazeera. of the deputy chief medical officer for england has explained why it was so important for the u.k. to act so fast and reimposing quarantine measures one of the things that we always have to be prepared for in this. is i'm afraid that things can change very quickly and things have changed want remarkably fast and spent in combat is the reason why we do not wish to get away we wish to protect the public health and give this advice to see when there is no magic time which to do this the thing that we have to do is do it as soon as we don't know about the date and feel certain that it is time to act the united states has reported more than a 1000 deaths from coronavirus for the 4th day in a row 74000 new infections were reported across the country on friday and one of
12:05 am
the worst hit states is florida where more than 12000 new infections have been detected in just the last 24 hours its case count has now overtaken new york's california which has a much bigger population is the only state with more confirmed infections it's getting updates from castor she's joining us from maryland and yet another grim milestone for the u.s. heidi. that's right as they are being broken daily zareen because now we're seeing more than $1100.00 deaths reported in a single day and this is the 4th day running that that record has been met total cases of coded in the united states now topping 4000000 100000 rising it's a staggering rate these are numbers that one would have thought inconceivable in the in the world's most rich nation now some critics of president trump say that
12:06 am
his response and the lack of a leadership role from the federal level has contributed to these numbers in fact many say that he may have direct responsibility for some of these statistics the early failings in testing then later the shifting of responsibility over to the states that is one reason why we're seeing these hotspots shift starting out in new york that was once the epicenter and now in these other states in the south florida as you mentioned california and in texas the new epicenter is as this virus moves around in the last of a response a coordinated response from the federal level in texas and particularly we're seeing these staggering totals of 4885 deaths in this pandemic and daily case rise of more than 8000 we know specially in the border regions with mexico and a very impoverished community of stark county only one hospital in operation there
12:07 am
refrigerated wards have been moved in and doctors there have anticipated having to discharge patients to die in their homes so a very serious and tragic situation unfolding in these southern states that are now the new hot spots of the coronavirus in the united states sounds like it has a bit over the last few days we have heard a bit of a change some might say in tone from the president himself so how are people responding to. well you may see that that retreat if you will from the president which is uncharacteristic of this president it may be a response to the polling that has shown that the vast majority of americans disagree with the way the president trump has responded to this pandemic he's retreated in several ways we saw him wearing a mask public publicly and trying to convince americans to wear a mask for the 1st time we saw him retreat from a demand for
12:08 am
a period tax cut and congress to be included in the next economic relief bill we also saw him back off * from his demands for schools to reopen in person in the fall and of course perhaps a big pet project if you will for the president the republican national convention which was always supposed to be the crowning moment in a sense for an incumbent who is running for reelection he was supposed to accept the nominee from the republicans for president for this upcoming term in a big speech before a vast crowd but he canceled that as well so certainly an acknowledgment which is again uncharacteristic from this president that things may not be going where he wants them to go and he certainly may be fearful for his reelection all right so heidi thank you very much for that update from maryland well the start of the american school year is shaping up to be chaotic for parents as they're faced with conflicting guidelines you've been hearing on whether it's safe for children to ritz heard the top u.s. health agency that the c.d.c.

12:10 am
percentage of their infection is and whether they either spread or not efficiently to adults has happened i thought she 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.
12:11 am
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 whole and squaring should be mandatory if you don't take these actions the letter says the consequences will be measured in widespread suffering and death rob reynolds 0 nearly 40 $9000.00 new coronavirus cases have been reported in india pushing the total there it's a more than $1300000.00 it's the 3rd day in a row that new infections have been above the $45000.00 mark the chief minister of my dear protest state is the latest high profile figure to test positive he's been

12:14 am
that he has access the ministry of health to to buy. food cloaking in big numbers and promoting is used in public hospitals across brazil despite the fact that there is no scientific evidence it's if given this so we can expect that both senator to be. again promoting the use of this medicine in coming days and pushing once again to be new to reopen the economy cross brazil even more now that he has been able to recall ever from neil names that he has repeatedly called just a little flu and countries in the region on a sounder have not been immune to this pandemic so what is the situation where you are in colombia and elsewhere. absolutely very now treaties here in colombia believe that we are now in the middle of the worst

12:32 am
they can be operated from other countries and that's allowed the users to continue their criticism. meanwhile twitter and instagram have been accused of not acting quickly enough to take down an anti sematic contest posted the contents excuse me posted by a british rapper the grime artist wiley has been dropped by his management company and is also being investigated by police twitter has banned him for a week but only 2 days after wylie started posting anti semitic comments instagram has remove some of his posts but not all let's discuss a social media responsibility with iran ahmed he's the chief executive of the center for countering digital hates he's joining us from cancun thanks for your time with us on the al-jazeera news hour as we look at the case of brazil to begin with they acted the social media companies acted when the supreme court told them to do so what do you think the thinking was behind that and is it something that the social media companies should have done by themselves. well thank you for
12:33 am
having me on the social media companies have really taken a multitude of positions on the what their responsibilities are so in the 1st instance they of course help their terms of service and the terms of service but identity based hate they are the deliberate spreading of misinformation and disinformation as is termed and they failed for the main part to enforce those rules apart from when almost into doing so badly for example in peace instead is the court sometimes it's because of a bit of the times of pressure sometimes because frankly it make tactical sense for them to do so but really their platforms through arrived on this kind of controversy because the fundamental it cut economics underpinning all of these platforms are controversy equals eyeballs only bulls equal at repartee.
12:34 am
the thing is you do see different approaches i hear what you're saying about the eyeballs and we'll get on that in just a moment but let me ask you about the 2nd story we were mentioning and that is the rapper wiley and the case in his case twitter has banned him for a week while instagram has removed some of his posts but not all how does that make sense to you the way it makes perfect sense if you go back to the fact that all they care about is keeping people on the platform and going to such an extent that they're older rhythms the very business model is based on what is the most controversial content we don't see timelines anymore it's not the most recent post that you see on your twitter we need to log on to twitter what you actually see is an artificially generated list of content that per our times what is most likely to keep you on the platform scrolling down looking at. earning their profits
12:35 am
and it's really that simple is fundamentally change the intention and cami in our society and it makes people see a lot more hate than they would normally if we were just looking at the world as it is it is of course nowhere near as hateful as full of misinformation as we see on social media but certainly they are facing a lot of pressure these days to act more aggressively when it comes to hate speech and the spreading of false information. well pressure from the only the only 98 percent for example of facebook's revenues come from advertisers we are not actually their customers as uses we are their products our data our thoughts our sentiments everything is packaged up and sold to their real customers which are the advertisers and so fundamentally if there's controversy about they know what that drives it makes you go to the platform and go what's going on here which is why of course they publish trends so yesterday well while he was making
12:36 am
his anti semitic comments they were publishing on their trending on their trends shoes so people knew there was something going on it makes them go i wonder what that is clicking on it trying to find out more and that is the fundamental way these businesses work they are not that they're not about trying to inform people or trying to provide an open platform for free and open debate what they are a controversy machine which drive volleyballs and wipe their problems we thank you very much for joining us imran ahmad speaking to us from thank you and thank you. fishel say 15 farmers have been killed by gunmen in southwestern don the attack happened in the village of greater and south are for there have been many sit ins across our 4 recently many of them by displaced people accusing officials are failing to protect them from attacks they blame their paramilitary rapid support

12:39 am
thousands of family rely on it they're concerned about the lakes future and also what's happening in neighboring ethiopia where africa's largest hydroelectric dam is nearing completion. the lake here relies on 2 sources the water flowing in from them in the south and the amount of water released by the egyptian aswan high dam in the north there is a for everything appears new dam has the capacity to hold more than the water of the blue nile the main contributor to the nile now and if you're just not feeling it them what's the level downstream will reduce and when egypt opens the gates of its high dam the size of this lake will diminish significantly sudanese people here say the gates of the high dam haven't been opened for 3 years that's aimed at preserving as much water as possible in the lake while negotiations over how it operates continue while fishermen say less water is better for them those relying on the lake for other reasons such as farming have a different view. before we used to need 3 or 4 and looked like water pumps to be able to get water from the light to our farms and we use only one i have lanes that
12:40 am
have been flooded by water but we keep expanding our farms so an increase means more water for us in a retreat in the like means more fertile land becomes available but we may face challenges in getting it irrigated the lake is also facing another threat climate change or. we've seen changes in the lake and areas around it already some parts of dried up due to climate change and there are now fertile lands for farming but there are parts where the water from the reservoir floods farm lands that already exist and destroys the crops of farmers so there needs to be an understanding between farmers on the southern part of the reservoir and the authorities controlling the dam so that it ends up a win win situation for all a situation that can guarantee that the livelihoods of those relying on the lake isn't disrupted both in sudan and neighboring egypt people more going on to their own northern sudan. so malia's prime minister has been kicked out of office after a vote of no confidence has gone on affair was opposed by all but 8 of more than
