was new york that was a hotspot numbers there are now still in steady decline however now in the southern region in florida and california and in texas as we're seeing these cases really shoot up particularly in the border region between texas and mexico a very impoverished region where hospitals are begging for supplies the military has moved in with more resources even refrigerated more trucks in anticipation of a skyrocketing of deaths so certainly very troubling statistics as more americans are losing their lives to this pandemic yeah what sort of plans does the president moving forward in the last few days we've seen a bit of a change in tone from the president's. that's right well he was out golfing today that was the latest photo released by the white house of mitt all of this startling news as citizens of this country are dying and getting sick however president trump this week has shown an uncharacteristic retreat in

a sense from some of his positions we saw him wearing a mask in public he he held off he laid back a little bit on the demands to reopen schools in person in the fall and one issue that was very dear to him was the republican national convention which he had pressed to keep those plans of having a massive crowd attend in a sense his coronation as his as his party's nominee for his reelection well that plan has been canceled which is a very significant retreat on the part of the president now if you look at the national polling and also the swing state polling for trump you can see that truly his reelection hopes are in trouble and in fact if that polling is correct and the election or to be held today president trump would lose all right thank you very much for that update. well nearly 49 those

a new coronavirus cases have been reported in india pushing this hotel there are more than 1300000 it's the 3rd day in a row that new infections have been above the 45000 mark the chief minister of my dear prejudiced state is the latest high profile figure to test positive he's been taken to hospital the government has confirmed more than 31300 deaths. north korea has reported its 1st suspected case of code 19 north korean leader kim jong il and reportedly convened an emergency meeting of his ruling workers' party on saturday to discuss an emergency in case on city the state news agency says it was a person who defected to south korea 3 years ago and returned 6 days ago after illegally crossing the border brazil's president says he's not tested negative for corona virus after spending weeks in quarantine with covert 19 so your boss an arrow posted this photo on twitter showing him with a box of hydrox

a mask on the motorcycle he did put it on though in this case when he stopped to talk to people so we see him bald in the ball so narrow and some observers even thinking that he could be benefiting from all this given the fact that he had been able to has been able to overcome the years with the mild symptoms and to continue to promote this anti-malaria medicine even if so far there is no proof that indeed this effective against the covert team and we have also seen him go up in polls last week after have been fallen. in big terms since the beginning of the pandemic back in march because of his response to. some brazilian seem to be more open to the fact that this might not be as bad as some people is the striving to see these

are the effects that it's having in brazil even if the number seem to say the opposite and now the government of brazil as recently bought a lot of these anti malaria drugs in this promoting its use in public hospitals we're going to have to see how all this works out for the president and for brazil that so far as in been able to stop the spread of the corona and what about in colombia where you are less under what's a situation like. well there are a numbers have been going up here since the economy has reopened and we're now through what these believe is the worst case of the pandemic the expectations is that the country will reach the peak of infections at some point the around august

hurricane hanna has strengthened to a category one storm with sustained winds of 144 kilometers an hour it struck land at padre island southwest of houston in the past few minutes and the storm is expected to bring harsh winds and rain to one of the u.s. states worse by the coronavirus the most important thing i could say today is to issue a reminder to everybody in the state of texas just because a hurricane comes to the state does not mean that coburn 19 disappears we cannot allow this hurricane to lead to a more catastrophic li deadly of been it by stoking additional spread of cobra 19 that could lead to fatalities if the o.p.'s says it's cooperating with egypt and sudan to ensuring the process of filling the mega dam it's building on the river nile doesn't harm their water supplies but

a foreign ministry spokesman said they were presenting unreasonable new demands. technically to get out of the bus we're going to. take nuclear we could have filled the dam in 3 years especially during the seasons of heavy rains but we cancelled this 3 year period in response to the concerns of the downstream countries we agreed to fill the dam in 4 to 7 years now they started with new demands for sitting near new quotas and they also added binding agreements the matters that we agree about should be general in non-binding agreements and we negotiate them according to their importance well it's here because assurances are little comforts of fishermen downstream their livelihoods depend on lake no b r or lake and also as a certain neighboring. the lake forms the manmade reservoir for the aswan dam in egypt but water levels both there and in ethiopia have many worried about morgan has a story. just after sunrise every day the same jaffer and his crews are there both

engine and their day's work fishing has been his livelihood for nearly 20 years catching tiger fish and wiring d. from lake new pia helps feed his family of 7 but the fish have been increasingly difficult to find for the past 3 years. several have this like is what feeds us me and hundreds of other fisherman when the water rises it becomes very hard to catch fish because they're not concentrated in the like there's more water for them and the like has been increasing the gates of the high dam haven't been opened leaking o.b.l. was manmade 50 years ago by filling the reservoir of egypt's high dam on the river nile 80 percent of the water is in egypt and it's known there as lake not there named after the former president 20 percent of the lake is in sudan's territory and 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 when if you're just not feeling it them what the levels downstream will reduce and when egypt opens the gates of its high dam the size of this lake will diminish significantly so the nice 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 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. a prominent human rights activist has died in prison in kurdistan. a score of west 69 prison authorities say he'd been taken to hospital with pneumonia but was in poor health critics say his life sentence for involvement in deadly ethnic violence in the south of the country was based on trumped up

from the opposing liberal. democratic party rush or governors are technically elected but in fact hand picked by the kremlin to be later in gorse by a popular vote and the kremlin also makes sure that our competitors 2 of the chosen candidate also weakened or not it's hell ones what happened in 2 years ago was that this contender this competitor. who was deemed to be weak and not a challenge unexpectedly won and what also was unexpected was that he turned out to be a good governor protests are relatively rare imprudence tightly controlled. and the virus pandemic is further complicating the kremlin's response it's not the type of attention put in a sleeping fear that protesters in the city of 600000 people see the marches will continue until the governor is really just had to look to see the young.
