cause of the israeli prime minister to step down a growing louder for a 3rd week in a row thousands of demonstrators have gathered outside benjamin netanyahu official residence demanding his resignation is the biggest protest in israel for a decade there's frustration at the government's handling of in corona virus outbreak plus growing anger that netanyahu is still in power while facing corruption charges that he's forced out the protesters early on sunday are a force that reports out from western. it's becoming a saturday night ritual in the square close to benjamin netanyahu official residence early evening in the policeman increasingly robust barricades by the protesters renew their demand that netanyahu leave office the so-called black flag movement has long insisted that a prime minister on trial for alleged corruption must step down they say the pandemic has brought new supporters to the. was folded just like gave us all

a flap in the face and made us wake up to the reality that. nothing is changing and we needed changing we need now the people over to upset and. stay in the house they don't have the world they don't have jobs they don't have food stamp out and go wake him up waking up the leaders have disappointed us and they didn't do their job so they grow up to contract with the citizens and now the citizens are coming together to make them i did do the job and go home. in recent weeks protesters have risked water cannon and arrest as well as threats of an actual physical assault by right wing groups the prime minister has labeled them anarchists complaint himself the death threats and criticised the media for focusing on the demonstrations nonetheless the numbers on the streets of the new risen saturday's protest in west jerusalem thought to be the biggest yet weeks in

there is the sense that the momentum of these protests is slowing the sense that people get tired of coming out onto the streets with such frequency the question is what effect all this will have on the political fortunes of the target of these protests the prime minister benjamin netanyahu. the karuna virus pandemic deep into its 2nd wave has seen unemployment top 20 percent with more than half of israelis worried about paying bills public trust in the prime minister has nearly carved suggests one poll to 29 percent listen you know who is denied persistent reports that he's considering pulling the plug on his fractious coalition with former rival benny gantz in going to elections once more when you have seen this kind of discontent in the street and when you have people that are really really protesting it really really calling for the end to his tenure it's not the time to go to elections he realizes this is going to be the greatest political risk that he's ever take it benjamin netanyahu is certainly no political newbie few

a better versed in the tactics of holding on to power but the public pressure isn't going away and this battle is far from over. very force it out west jerusalem hong kong is making covert 900 testing free for its 7500000 residents is that where there's a 3rd wave of infections a team of lab technicians from mainland china is heading to the territory on kong's expo center has been turned into a makeshift hospital to deal with the increasing number of cases 125 new infections were reported on sunday the 11th day in a row cases have been triple digits well david joins us live now from hong kong give us a hong kong seems to be taking some drastic measures to control this spike in infections tell us what's been happening the bat. that's right daryn this is being called hong kong's 3rd and deadliest wave previously hong kong has been able to contain the previous outbreaks quite quickly and quite successfully

but this time when they say the main issue is tracking and tracing they're having problems figuring out where those clusters are coming from and they are growing quite rapidly according to hong kong standards now compared to the rest of the world this would seem almost minimal just triple digit daily increases but for hong kong this is one of the worst outbreaks it's seen as so far so hong kong has some of the most strictest social distancing measures in place which includes only 2 people gathering at any point kerry lamb met with other government officials and health experts overnight to try and understand what else needs to be done at the moment no one can go outside without a mosque and they also offer the testing for all of hong kong's residents that's up to 7500000 people but here's the problem hong kong hospitals already almost that kept pasadena there just not enough beds and the labs here and the clinical center

say they cannot handle that kind of a volume so they have the governments reached out across to mainland china where the where there they say there are an abundance of experts and scientists who are willing to come over here and help with containing this out latest outbreak and one of those measures is bringing in those technicians from across the border and setting up these makeshift hospitals ok said they're at the age or world expo where they have set up 500 beds and they are planning to set up the central government is also planning to set up another 2000 beds in trying to help hong kong combat. it is interesting because hong kong was seen as one of the coronavirus success stories i mean how do people locally feel about chinese help coming in from the mainland. that's right there are many questions about how home const government handled this

for one thing there was a good period where the outbreak had been largely contained many are questioning why didn't the government prepare for this kind of an eventuality or even take measures to stop the following outbreak also many questions about why hong kong is reaching out to mainland china for expertise and for that help there had been a ridge the original original idea was to send these samples over to mainland china to help with testing and detecting who was at risk but there were also much there was much opposition to that saying that their peoples personal data would be sense across the border there also questions about the fact that they're bringing in mainland officials and mainland experts over here their questions about hong kong's data and people's personal surveillance issues here so there are many questions about this but the biggest question of all here is why is the mainland china being so involved in hong kong's affairs yet again and

why is the hong kong government reaching out again across the border for help when it is something that the hong kong government should be able to contain themselves all right the difficult part in their life for us in hong kong divya thank you japan is facing a resurgence in coded 19 cases tokyo confirmed a record 472 infections on saturday and its governor says a state of emergency may need to be reimposed nor but money has more. kooky is a judicial japanese art who hundreds of years old but it's the 1st time it's ever been before like this. the number of the film is limited. to 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 the capsule reported a record rise in corona virus cases for the 3rd consecutive day as tokyo's governor
