a controversial social media building closed in turkey smocks concerns about freedom of expression. thank you very much for joining us we begin in india where health experts say there's been a shop increase in the number of corona virus infections largely due to poor infrastructure nearly 48000 cases where reported on to say bringing the total number to more than $1500000.00 the regions of delhi my russia and tamil nadu account for more than half the new cases and as a 3rd worst affected nation after the u.s. and brazil with more than 34000 deaths and a medical survey is revealing alarming sistas 6 about the spread of the virus in mumbai more than 4000000 people living in the city slums have had the virus that tests on nearly 7000. randomly selected people there found 57 percent of them had

bodies for the virus about 40 percent of mumbai's population lives in shanties and it's home to asia's largest slum with an estimated 1000000 people the survey suggests a high rate of infections without symptoms that spring in india correspondent is a random who's in new delhi for us elizabeth this survey done in mumbai only confirms what many have suspected and that is the number of cases is much higher than what's being reported. absolutely finally the survey confirming what independent health experts have been saying for a long time now that the real number of infections in india are at least 10 times the reported number and possibly even up to the times so the survey that was done in mumbai 57 percent of the city's population who live in slums have antibodies to put that into context at least 50 percent of mumbai's population

live and slums and outside of slum areas it's up to 16 percent of the population have antibodies if you look at the confirmed number of cases it's around 110008 is a fraction of the millions who have antibodies and it's also very much in line with the other recent serial logical survey that was done elsewhere in the country in the capital here in new delhi the results last week showed that a quarter of the city's 20000000 population have antibodies now in the last few weeks especially here in the capital the number of confirmed cases have been coming down a lot but on tuesday delhi's high court asked the local government to explain why they conducting about the number of the most accurate swab test that is known as the p.c.r. tests half the number that they capable off and twice that number. all of the less

accurate and teaching tests so while the government here in delhi the local government has been pretty much boasting that the numbers have been coming down over the last 3 weeks it's been pointed out to them by the high court that they're just not conducting enough accurate tests and have asked them to do so and ms monsoon season is making things even more difficult stretching emergency resources i imagine. absolutely especially in the areas that are always worst hit by the monsoon rains then wish it could as flooding is an annual event during the monsoon season but there has been more rainfall this year and it's happening authorities are trying to manage the flooding at a time when they're also trying to stop the spread of the coronavirus many states and the northeast are in some form of lockdown the state that's worst affected by the flooding we're more than 100 people have been killed and nearly 50000 the staying in emergency shelters disaster management agency told me that they've

doubled the number of shelters this year to try and maintain social distancing the trying to keep the elderly separated from the very young and maintain and also ensure that people you know with face masks take all of those precautions it's not easy we've also seen pictures of hospitals and states like b. haad which are also affected by the flooding and altered for the that have been completely flooded and hospitals which are treating coronavirus patients and other patients these are all close it challenges and real health concerns especially in states like be had which is one of the poorest it's under complete lockdown and has some of the worst health care interest trucks are in the country thank you very much for that update and this is with ron i'm live in new delhi that. now after being virus free for months vietnam says it's making preparations for a major wave of covert $1000.00 infections thousands of cases have been reported in the central city of don where

ignoring the w.h.o. guidelines for deep confinement that he claims to be following them they aren't even following the recommendations of their own advisory committee which was created in order to make decisions based on science we see that they're ignoring science and the need to strengthen the ability to test trace and isolate infections relaxing the confinement measures means that some shops can now open in this area but the problem is that those who work here come from other parts of town that are still under lockdown and where the infection rate is still too high and that's the sort of recipe that could lead to disaster exactly the sort of thing that's happening in neighboring peru. in lima 25 percent of the population is said to have been infected. now has the highest death rate per 1000000 inhabitants in all of the americas with no enforcement of social distancing even funerals pose a threat. as they say farewell to their loved ones dozens of people sing and

a record number of fatalities in the past 24 hours mike hanna is in washington and reports on the reasons behind the rising rates the rate of infection says continuing to surge as indeed is the death rate but the state's governor under center says insisting that things are getting better he maintains that there is a lag in terms of the reporting which is resulting in the spike in mortality is that he says that within days the and its mortality rate will begin to drop but this may be optimism according to the figures that we are seeing florida is now the most infected state after california which still leads the way in which the infection is still running strong as in other western states such as texas and arkansas but remarkably president trump held a briefing in the course of the day and he contends that there is a downward shift in states like california and arkansas all this is simply not

borne out by the figures that we are seeing texas for example has just reported a massive increase in its mortality figures now this may be because they changed the method of reporting however it is still a significant spike in the number of deaths recorded over 24 hour period so the position looking exceedingly bleak continues to look so not only in states like florida but in a number of other states across this country more than half of the states continuing to show increases in the rate of infection. the annual muslim pilgrimage to mecca known as the house has begun under very different circumstances of this year let's show you some live pictures from mecca the pilgrimage has been dramatically scaled back this year millions usually travel to solder a gaffe but for the 1st time in modern history worshippers from abroad are not

resolution is the basis of some hope for officials in riyadh as well as washington who wanted to see the riyadh agreement successfully implemented but simply just declaring in a resolution that efforts will be accelerated to implement the riyadh agreements. doesn't mean it's going to be easy to do so the reason why it's been so difficult to implement it. since it was signed last year has to do with the fact that there are so many obstacles that make implementation very difficult the party use have very different interpretations of the riyadh agreement there are sensitive issues that the parties do not see eye to eye on i think the future of this relationship will be a very difficult one there are numerous reasons why that's the case one of them

that i think is very important to keep in mind pertains to all is slaw which is the muslim brotherhoods yemeni franchise of islam has played an important role as an ally of the hardy government but the s.t.c. views the muslim brotherhood linked group in yemen as a very dangerous group and is a big threat to the s.t.c. and if hadi is government in the s.t.c. will ever be able to see eye to eye on this question of what role is sly's to play in the future of yemen we don't know. turkey's parliament has passed a controversial social media law but human rights groups warn it will give the government even more control over the media landscape sides like facebook and twitter will be required to have local representatives in turkey the companies could face fines only century be blocked under the new law let's speak to synonym

correspondent in istanbul so tell us more cinema about the content of this law. well fully the aim of this government's bill that passed this morning is actually to define real or legal entities who allow users to create more niche or or share online content and. since this bill has passed the government has the right to ask the social media platform provider to remove the content if it if the government sees it is not appropriate actually this new bill define this new bill defines the crimes that are defined in the lower on social media as well so if something is a crime in the in the constitution or in the turkish law let's say a child abuse or is this information in for damia this is also a crime on social media as well the reason why the government took the smoke was

actually it goes back to 2013 stumble gives the protests and then the failed coup attempt that took place in 2016 because turkey has been the government has been actually pushing against the out the kurdistan workers party and the glen a screwup the group that are accused of trying to plot the government overthrow the government however the fact is fully those groups like the goodness or the. or the p.k. k. they are using their servers of road so whether they will whether this bill will be able to help the government to find out those people who they menu plait the society or this inform the society or through these social media platforms as they are using both accounts or fake names that they it is still unknown so the reason why the government took that yes i was going to ask you why now. well actually

this was raised in april too but a month ago president dunstall too was insulted by some social media users and after that the government speed that up but this goes back to as i said 20132016 at the end of the day there are some good sides of this bill which is to write which is trying to protect the individual's rights or honor or to keep them only from insults but there is a thin line between a democracy citee and freedom of speech so everybody is now curious whether this low is going to be implemented appropriately because the government has control over the public institutions like the judiciary police and everything also they control the mainstream media so it is not wrong to say that the media in turkey is more mana deck so the concert the consequences will depend on how the

government is going to implement the new law whether or be helpful for its own strategies and goals or for the good of the public and we'll continue to follow the story we are of course an impossible know in istanbul thank you the c.e.o.'s of apple amazon facebook and google are expected to testify together before the u.s. congress on wednesday to defend their powerful business practices they run companies worth a total of around $4.00 trillion dollars the via conference meeting is expected to be one of the most aggressive shows against tech companies in decades rob reynolds reports. for small tech companies being featured in apple's i phone app store is essential to getting customers but apple squeezes these companies hard says david hanson chief technology officer for the project management company base camp we were shaken down by our own home showed up and demand to be handled by 30

percent of. our homes taxis. sometimes complaints about monopolistic practices prompted the house judiciary anti trusts of committee to hold a virtual hearing with tech bosses calling on amazon's jeff bezos apple's tim cook facebook's mark zuckerberg and google's sundar pichai it is apparent that the dominant platforms are increasingly using their gatekeeper power in abusive and coercive ways the c.e.o.'s will be questioned by lawmakers who have carefully prepared for months and terry you know i didn't just i don't know where a lot of these numbers and study. is corporations incident me for the better your inner city and kind of prepared very pointed question among the issues likely to be probed are how google uses its control over advertising on its platform to squelch

competition how amazon tries to squeeze out rivals by placing its own products more prominently in its sprawling virtual marketplace apple's role as a gatekeeper for app developers imposing arbitrary conditions on companies trying to reach consumers through its smartphones and how facebook distributes full sin from asian and hate speech on its platform and what they have said very blatantly very clearly that they intend to be accomplices for misleading the american people ultimately the hearings could lead to anti-trust proceeding. yes with the companies potentially being broken up into multiple parts that's really what this comes down to an investigation into that kind of fundamental power. perforations and what the government is going to do that the tech giants plan to argue that they face abundant competition and are therefore not monopolies they have republican

allies in congress and big is not necessarily bad and i trust laws do not exist to punish success a hearing that will be closely watched and may have wide ranging consequences rob reynolds al-jazeera los angeles. iran has carried out military exercises in the gulf using in malkuth craft carrier as target practice tehran's navy and air force are taking part in the coordinated trails and the presence of an american aircraft carrier in the region has drawn attention as a force from tehran. from land and sea it's a show of military strength from iran in the gulf at a time when tensions remain high with the united states just days ago iran said one of its passenger planes was intercepted by u.s. fighter jets as it flew over syria iran's military leaders want to send
