$9000.00 restrictions so far has managed to keep infections down but is now seeing a rise in cases of the countries being easing its lockdown with social distancing rules are still in place and then after what's being called an explosive spread in the region of a canal in japan a state of emergency has been declared there tokyo's governor has ward she may follow suit and the city has seen a record number of daily infections for the 3rd straight day but there i gather it's a very legitimate lecture at lancaster university in the u.k. and he says the rush to produce a covert 19 vaccine could mean that an effective result is still far from certain. things take a long time to develop and if you go back to the last pandemic that made the news the big we are true which was either via spiking 2016 and we still don't have a surprise that's ready for what we used to the some some of the early promising results and complications of rules should be saying that if you find

9:04 pm
about not just here in berlin at a federal level but right across the country and all the states that make up this federal republic are really worried about the 2nd wave of corona which they're trying to stop ironically some of the protesters who have come to the center of early into the brandenburg gate to the one today in london one of the perhaps the most iconic street in berlin perhaps in germany to saying that they are the 2nd wave of corona they are the people who are representing that unspoken majority who don't like these these measures about corona but the point is generally speaking most people have been understanding of the need to have these precautions social distancing and that sort of thing and one final thought also many of the measures that were brought in at the start of the pandemic which were perceived as being really long gone generally speaking you don't have to wear masks in many places right now so when you see the people on the streets demonstrating against
9:05 pm
coronavirus precautions many people wonder what exactly are they demonstrating against what i say now from laura bird mostly who reports on the increase in cases in japan. is a traditional japanese art form hundreds of years old it's the 1st time it's ever been performed like this. the number of the film is limited where most chess. unstick the social distancing rules on states. took years kabuki theater has opened for the 1st time in 5 months with strict guidelines as a capsule reported a record rise including a virus cases for the 3rd consecutive day as tokyo's governor considered ordering a new state of emergency the theatre is at risk of closing once. so stop if there were any requests from the japanese or tokyo government we need to
9:06 pm
respond appropriately and think of a way to adapt the performance depending on the situation this may unfortunately include having to stop partway through the run the so the island of okinawa has declared a culvert 19 state of emergency some japanese suspect u.s. personnel based on the island of importing the disease there is concern that perhaps the reason why it's heading that island particularly strongly is because u.s. forces particularly u.s. marines have been able to come in and out of japan without going through immigration controls until very recently without any covert 900 tests under the status of forces agreement a record $71.00 daily infections were reported in okinawa on friday and hospitals at being overwhelmed the majority of cases a u.s. troops. in order for us to put every effort into combat in the coronavirus okinawa will issue a state of emergency for the commander of u.s.
9:07 pm

9:08 pm
talks in the united states to decide whether to extend financial assistance to people who lost their jobs because of covert $900.00 have wrapped up the day with no deal millions have been getting $600.00 a day a week but those 'd payments expired on friday after politicians failed to reach a deal. amid the worst economic collapse in decades millions of americans are struggling just to eat we're seeing 223000 up to 7000 families come through in a 3 or 4 hour period emergency relief payments of 6 $100.00 a week have kept millions of unemployed people in the us financially afloat for months a moratorium on a vixens has kept millions of renters from becoming homeless that would really help with iran now those federal supports are about to run out and congress is unable to act the democratic controlled house passed
9:09 pm
a 3 trillion dollar relief bill in may it includes extending the $600.00 a week unemployment benefit 3600000000 dollars for election security and additional food aid for the hungry it would also provide $200000000000.00 to renters and money for schools and testing as well as a trillion dollars to support state and local governments but the republican controlled senate waited till this week to offer a pared down package one 3rd the size of the democratic controlled house proposal among the crucial differences republicans want to provide blanket protection for businesses from lawsuits brought by employees who contract at 19 in the workplace the senate bill gives nothing to struggling states and cities and the republicans say the $600.00 a week unemployment payment is too generous they argue essentially that work shy
9:10 pm
americans would be. a furtive sit back and get government payouts rather than seek jobs the republicans would slash payments to $200.00 a week so far the 2 sides have been unable to negotiate effectively and predictably they're blaming each other white house chief of staff mark meadows the democrats believe that they have all the cards on their side and they're willing to play those cards at the expense of those that are hurting the democratic house leader nancy pelosi fired back we put forth what we think is urgently needed by the american people because we recognize the gravity of the situation they don't despite the urgency of the situation there is no compromise in sight and while the democratic house remains in session the republican senate took off on a 3 day weekend rob reynolds al-jazeera where let's get an update from oregon and
9:11 pm
jordan judy and rose so no deal so far where do we go from here. well no deal so far but the talking does continue and it's worth pointing out that both the democrats and the republicans who spoke to reporters after a meeting that lasted between 2 and a half and 3 hours were very positive about what is happening this is the speaker of the house nancy pelosi. what we are doing is not only trying to arrest the virus but to invest in the economy as we help america stamp of working families so today was productive in terms of moving us forward as the leader said with our stats will be working to theirs and ours to have some clarity in some of the issues and we'll meet again on monday.
9:12 pm
it was never going to be straightforward was it given the views of the various representatives of the policies and and also given how much money we're talking about. that's right now we're talking about 2 plans the republicans only want to spend one trillion dollars and i say only with a bit of irony the democrats want to spend 3 trillion dollars and continue the unemployment benefits that supplemental benefit of $600.00 a week through january essentially trying to create the space for people to stay home while a researchers and the federal government double their efforts to develop viable vaccines that would allow people to basically return to normal lives but the the republicans argue that continuing this kind of funding would basically make it impossible for people to want to go back to work that's something which the
9:13 pm
democrats obviously disagree with and so the staffers from the white house and from the democratic leadership will be negotiating over the rest of this weekend the leaders who bet on saturday are going to be back on capitol hill on monday to continue their negotiations for iran's thanks for that updates are most will now in virginia. also ahead on the news hour including iran announcing the arrest of a u.s. based dissident who would accuses of most money a terrorist camp. bankrupted lebanon is struggling to keep his children from going hungry. and in sports dunking in the qualifying mistake to. find out how he recovered later.
9:14 pm
protested back out on the streets of israel demanding that the prime minister benjamin netanyahu resign to life all those people right now protesting demonstrating being held for the past year we have the government kindly of the credit virus outbreak fueled by corruption case against friends in the. force that joins us on the phone now from west jerusalem he's monitoring these demonstrations in our lives it's quite a few people out there right now what's happening. that's right yes the numbers are definitely slowed since the last hour probably an estimate between 5 and 10000 in tahrir square mr simcox from the residence of the prime minister benjamin netanyahu as always a mixture of motivations i think the driving schools to be majority at least the beginning of this protest from the black flag pro-democracy. demonstrators you've
9:15 pm
been campaigning. you know kristie i mean sunday is based on his corruption charges and trial but there are also many others who are here protesting motivated success because all the school after the gorilla virus and then make this little bit of a separate ways another child 100 cases announced just a little while ago in the last 24 hours. the economic fallout of that and to cuba the lack of jobs many would say the lack of proper government provision like the. rest some of the economic. consequences of what's been going on that is also. going to count of protest there was a rally by far right activists on those day. some of these young. changed who are. on strike today here in jerusalem but you know the south
9:16 pm
where it seemed right protest is a good trade and you know some yahoo groups to try to disrupt. potentially do more but not be happy to tax in tel aviv on such protests because in recent days as well so the security situation just one of the police on $103.00 blows. to what degree my the momentum of these 19 netanyahu protests build and if they do what kind of thread do they present in that. the question of exactly what mechanism they could use to try and get him out of the state today got as one of the peace exists unite to this group groups. stood on his stewardship to be. denecke but he was someone who's been in power over a decade through 3 consecutive elections very recently does manage to play a role of his colleagues and who will be leading to install is ready for the fix is
9:17 pm
advantage and so how does this translate into. some talk about the potential of this to destruct. pretty loyal to their screen with a. profit full members sign of a weakening grip on popularity could cause some. it's going to. 2 be another such leadership the other question is whether this. election is something that some people are talking about but again this polling numbers decried as a result of a lot of the virus pandemic that could also be less likely going to was just a do you reach to go so the question is whether he stays on in office.
9:18 pm
now coalition partner benny gantz the end of next year or whether there is. fractious relationship which could lead to action and then of course. in a hurry thanks very much her force of the. police in hong kong and demanding the arrest of 6 pro-democracy activists living in exile include former british consulate worker simon chang he says he was tortured by chinese agents to give information about anti-government protests also on the wanted list as problems opposition figure nathan law is thought to be the 1st time police have used the new national security law to target activists outside the country well earlier i spoke to nathan lol and i asked him for his reaction to demands for his arrest by the chinese government. why stephanie outrageous even though i had a proper ration talk about it just when it becomes a reality a really terrible it hung now i confess to bringing up illegitimate the monster.
9:19 pm
government to act responsibly and to. humanize foundation and that leads to serious arrest and that when they have to you must be very concerned about your safety and indeed your freedom if you stayed in hong kong what did you think might happen if you did stay where they stayed and actually a maximum life a life long thing or even be extradited back to china so these. very very terrible consequences and it just show that the government uses the national security law to talcott creative expression of people so what kind of reception if you had in britain one of the british authorities said to you well of course very concerned it's a gross violation of my right to have my speech. never done anything like in
9:20 pm
concrete to really push. benjamin to the think i thought i was going to have a expressed support for the british government. well of course. the british government and also the opposition policy that they were really focused on konishi and yet and i think they're very concerned by the very thing that that is the time for me to go on call the head of what's around described as a u.s. based terrorist group is under arrest jamsheed out on the group as are accused of sabotage operations in iran is blamed for killing 14 people in a bomb attack in shiraz 12 years ago iranian media isn't saying that it was detained because more herat. this group were established in the united states by an individual by the name of cherry they have a t.v. station where they protect their views and we check to their father's name and cherry disappeared mysteriously around 2007 no one really knows where he is but

9:34 pm
a firm that vies institutions across europe he's skeptical about trump's reasons to ban the. i get the impression certainly that his his desire to bend it don't take talk is for him motivated more by our brand perhaps security issues are simply not security issues to the average american i was reading that the department of defense for instance to encourage people to have it all my friends which makes more sense if i were a chinese dissident or. somebody rich the cia would have it on my phone but i think that the vast majority of americans it's probably not a significant concern and i think it actually republican said is that it could be used by the chinese government to insert this propaganda tool to push to cure messages and he's doing this because it has it's you know the inscrutable algorithm bit like you tube and we don't know how he got his or i mean maybe it's not because well maybe it can just be used to push a message that you don't personally in terms of the average american i think it will be pretty learn at definition looks like it's in
