a drop in cases it's only been about 3 weeks here in victoria on stage 3 restrictions and probably just under 2 weeks with mandatory squarely in melbourne but there have been a large rise in the day number of cases and i think there were concerns that things work coming under control so they have to do something more extensive throughout the world we've seen that complacency and i think the key has become an issue with covert as that outbreak has dragged on and on australia has been no exception i guess a poignant example will be a better few days ago authorities knocked on the doors of people who had been diagnosed with heart of it not query probably being diagnosed with covert and they were meant to be self isolating and about a quarter of those doors that were knocked on did not have those people there so

well i don't think we're at the point yet of a 2nd lockdown a 2nd full blown lockdown i know i've been joined by one of the locals here and so thanks for joining us we're not at that point yet we're not necessarily even at the point of a full blown 2nd wave of the virus infection rates are certainly going up there at about $4000.00 a day now that's the 1st significant rise since may but nowhere near the height of the pandemic that of course could change quite quickly the government's current tactic is to impose as you mentioned localized restrictions on local spikes where they happen to try and contain the source but the promise to boris johnson has already warned that the government may need to go further than that are people concerned yes of course they're concerned businesses are certainly concerned i'm sitting standing as i said in soho ordinary from wronging with people locals londoners tourists there are precious few of those around the bars restaurants and pubs that were allowed out to let you take a look at the we're allowed to work at the beginning of july now with their tables and chairs sprawled out across the pavements and the roads desperate for cash but

many of those tables are empty these are businesses operating on the very thinnest of margins just to try and stay alive they survived the 1st lockdown many of them would find a 2nd locked down very difficult to survive ok donna so what then is the likelihood of a 2nd lockdown. well the scientists who advise the government are quite clear the moment that they believe it is a voidable they believe that if people follow the rules it can be avoided promised johnson has made that warning this weekend people need to follow the lockdown rules the problem is many people don't understand what the lockdown rules are but in essence what this means is social distancing mosque wearing indoors and washing hands and so on but if the infection levels continue stubbornly to rise more than the government is it seems preparing to go further reports out on sunday suggest

beginning of us of any politically motivated case as far as a criminal case goes there is no evidence it is really that. political it was taught that these people need to be punished for the work they're doing all of them are very well known that human rights activists. is no stranger to prisons have been previously spent 10 years in jail for inciting communist revolution but he has never been found guilty his family according for his immediate release after he contract to the coronavirus in prison. is hell. critics say the government is using anti-terrorism legislation which allows detention without charge or trial. human rights watch as among many groups are asking the government why it hasn't investigated the alleged role of head of the

government unfortunately is its pretty brazen lack of any kind of tolerance towards any form of korean criticism this is being used as a tool to browbeat and settle scores with political opponents with dissidents and even cartoonists it's one thing to be decisive it's quite another to be the target area and that 10 line this government appears to have crossed a very into a long back and now with correct in purity it believes in putting down dissent with an eye on iran. so so therefore there is very little room for competition there is very little room for dialogue every critic every dissident is now bracketed under these draconian law of sedition charge with sedition and imprisonment terms anything from 3 years to a life term and you have to repeat and the onus of proving your innocence unfortunately is on the accused not on the accuser and therefore this is that this

law was brought in by the british in 870 they have since discarded it but independent democratic india unfortunately continues with this law and more increasingly a large number of people are facing the the brunt of this draconian law which has now been amended and under the unlawful people's unlawful activities act even students students who are at the forefront of the agitation against the citizenship amendment act have now had to do you have suffer the consequences of the school but they 16 people have been killed in flash floods in a village in eastern afghanistan it triggered enteron chill rains swept across non-home province on friday most of the victims were children dozens of houses were destroyed the team has been sent to help local emergency services. well time now for the weather and jenny is here with the latest on the tropical storm heading

direction not actually make landfall in florida itself but of course we always have with these troubles storms in these systems the trouble systems we always have this area hey this cone of uncertainty and of course that means it could actually make landfall in other areas so as we go through monday on into choose it'll continue his journey north towards it is expected to may on full later in the day on sunday into monday in the carolinas and from then when you look at this storm system it is going to maintain its strength as a tropical storm and work its way up through the eastern u.s. and eventually push up into eastern canada that they came is a few days away so it's woman wanted to very closely in the hours and days ahead thanks for that jenny. still to come on al-jazeera protests demanding the release of a government in russia itself east of turning into a nationwide movement against the government. and the digital era is here to stay but we'll tell you why some communities are refusing to go test this. and in sports we'll hear from a tennis player who's been taking a shot at world number one but i talk which.

and it's quite concerning to see that number rise now the government also released a statement the president says specifically not long after the announcement of half a 1000000 cases a saying that things are bad but not that bad it says that the lockdown has helped to delay the increasing cases of the last few months giving the government time to prepare public health facilities and it's relied on these public health facilities to help people in this country who have been infected by the virus but there's also been concern that in provinces like the eastern tape specifically the presidency has also acknowledged that that province its health facilities public hospitals have been overwhelmed. me and most military says 2 soldiers accused of killing a woman from an ethnic minority community will face a court martial the killing has reignited anger and karen stays where there's been

the protests illegal a number of demonstrators were arrested opposition protests are relatively rare in flight m a putin's tightly controlled russia the security forces have so far stayed away from the demonstrations in harbor offs testers have vowed to keep going until the governor's released at least 2. now says 2 astronauts aboard a space x. capsule are on track to land off florida on sunday afternoon astronauts doug hurley and bob behnken have undocked the end to a 2 month mission aboard the international space station this marks a new era for commercial spaceflight 9 years after nasa retired its base shuttle fleet the pair's arrival will mark the 1st sea landing for u.s. astronauts in 45 years even for the gulf of mexico and just off the florida panhandle well david brown is an astrophysicist at warwick university he joins us

now from there thanks so much for your time when we talk about this new era the era of the mix of commercial and government you know this model of space exploration how significant is this what will it mean for our advancement in space good afternoon i think it's going to be very significant this successful completion of this 1st test flight is. ushering in a new era for crew spaceflight. both from u.s. soil and potentially from other other countries around the world i think. with this mission demonstrating that there is a relationship that can work between government agencies like nasa and commercial companies like space x. you really have the potential to open up space to a new market and to. to a wider audience i think is it also is there also an element of you know when you

make this commercial you encourage innovation you encourage you know getting the cost per flight down as low as possible you know what sort of opportunities or possibilities does does this raise. you're absolutely right with any kind of competition commercial level you get the driving down of costs space x. are just the 1st company to do this and nasa have ongoing contract with boeing and to also provide a space capsule for a similar purpose to take root of the space station and virgin galactic are working on their spaceflight program as well and they've had some success in the past blue origin another company and headed by jeff bezos of amazon and they're also working on a rocket program so i think this these multiple companies getting involved they will drive down the cost we're already seeing that actually with the reuse ability of space x.

rockets. as you drive down the costs you make it more accessible it white space will never be completely accessible it will always be an expensive endeavor but i do think that will be a key aspect of this are there any particular pressures that this economic model of spaceflight brings. that's an interesting question you. with the sub contractor contractor relationship you you introduce pressure to deliver on time pressure to fulfill certain requirements that perhaps a government agency like nasa when it is managing the whole program by itself doesn't have those those pressures in quite the same way and you have shareholders you have potentially depending on your company model you have external. sources of funding as well i think there are different pressures. but in some ways they streamline. and improve the efficiency of the process of spaceflight

over a come out an organization like nasa doing the whole thing very exciting time thanks so much for your time david brown there astrophysicist. electronic banking that digital economy is now coronavirus means an increasingly cashless society the notes and coins in our pockets are being rapidly replaced by contact us bank cards and mobile phone payments not everyone in england is comfortable with the technology or brenda reports from essex where many want to stick to traditional pounds and pence. coins and notes have been the foundation of trade for centuries and the weekly market in the town of rochford is as traditional as they come my own opinion is i think we build get to fascists and i hope we don't we don't but so is you know i don't think we can get to that. but while a decade ago 6 in 10 transactions involve cash today it's less than 3 in 10 and
