10:03 am
are they heading back into the long run we just emerged from when was in june i think. well so i mean what the what the health workers were asking for is a return to what they call an enhanced community quarantine or in fact they told the lockdown of metro manila and nearby provinces that something that the president did not give to them in his address sunday night what he basically said is that they will implement a stricter lockdown policy in megaman the and many other areas which means that the mystic flights will be postponed there will be no public transport which is already limited in the 1st place international flights coming in and getting out of the philippines will also be limited now as you see sadly the philippines already implemented one of the world the strongest and most strict this lockdowns and that started in early march and ended a few months ago when the cases where around $18000.00 the government decided to
10:04 am
ease restrictions hoping basically to allow people to go out to to help buffer the economy basically it's really feeling the impact of this crisis however the call that was made by health doctors was a. call that message was very very clear they say hospitals are at full capacity and frontline medical workers really do need breathing space they're asking for a lockdown in order to slow down and special as they see hoping that they will allow some of them basically to have a break to handle the growing number of cases given that there is no massive besting or tracing at the moment here sam what about the economic impact so this must be very worrying. well it is that in fact the impact on the philippine economy has been felt as early as months ago when the pandemic broke out where over 2000000 filipinos had already lost their jobs over 100000 filipinos have already returned from abroad they've come back with no past prospects of jobs and
10:05 am
also at the same time over 100000 filipinos have yet to return the government is working on the repatriation within the next 2 months now the government also said already that there won't be any cash aid given to anyone in the coming months that the government's funding at this point is tight and the economic recession has officially started one of the worst in recent years thanks so much john. this trading in state of victoria has ordered all long essential businesses to close as it struggles to contain the surge in corona virus cases there the state's largest city of melbourne has finished its 1st overnight curfew it's one of several emergency measures introduced in victoria the state is also banned large gatherings reintroduced online learning and older people to remain within 5 kilometers of their homes. is live for us in sydney so a lot of economic restrictions what about any measures to ease and soften the
10:06 am
economic pain. really is heart breaking to say just how many businesses will have to close as the victorian government tries to tackle this rising number of 19 infections just to put it into perspective victoria makes up about a quarter of a strategy is national economy and the decision that was made to close many of these extra businesses in retail industrial areas in manufacturing will likely lead to thousands of job losses so obviously the state government is looking towards how it can help the economy and all of those people who will no doubt be out of work the premier daniel andrews has said that anyone who will be out of work will be eligible oh businesses who won't be able to open will be eligible for
10:07 am

a prison in eastern afghanistan. officials say there were several explosions including a suicide car bomb outside the prison in the city of jalalabad afghan security forces are locked in a gun battle with the attackers several prisoners escaped during the fighting i saw claimed responsibility for hobby board work is a national security analyst and founding member of transparency afghanistan he joins us now from kabul good to have you with us so why the attack on the prison in car on jalalabad. so d.d. sponsibility of the attack has been claimed by the islamic state and it's believed that you have a vast amount of die. members who are imprisoned in this very prison so the diet has taken responsibility the primary motive could be to make sure that to sort of release the president and this is what they have done
10:09 am
the initial reports that we have is that there are about $1500.00 prisoners and the prison and $500.00 of them have been able to escape which the government claims that they were able to sort of captured them or after the evade the prison and they are and they have been captured all over again so the primary motive just like i said could be that di di ish wanted to have its members out of the prison di is jalalabad is located in eastern afghanistan this is where the strongholds of the guy who are since 20142015 could not or province nuristan province like one province and their number are province is this instant aid into where you had been presence of. and this is where a majority of the presidents are kept and perhaps didn't want it to infiltrate and
10:10 am
have their prisoners released or do what this this say that about the ability and status of eisel. as you say. if this isn't the their work. so there are 2 messages that could be sort of taken from what has happened in jalalabad one is that you had numerous press to men's press releases speeches of various government officials this includes president connie this includes the national security adviser over a no word sort of bragging about the defeat of dilution of honest gun and how the african government have done so well and eliminating eradicating and uprooting diffendorfer of die and what has happened today is basically contradicting the claims of the government dietitians proven that they have the ability to inflict
10:11 am
damage to the afghan government and inflict damage wet and the heart of one of understands me and important. the other message that is being passed on is that the united states of america the afghan government and the taliban are basically a step shard of starting the intra honey who she is shins the other message could be right here is that it's not just the taliban you have other elements which are basically. a huge tied to the survival of the afghan national security forces is just not the taliban you also have guy shoots also falls to reckon with. a few basically get into an agreement with the taliban what's going to happen to defuse on or defeat of the guy because just like the government has claimed that they have taken care of that they have been uprooted and what they have done in jalalabad is
10:12 am
due to be contradicting each other or i thanks so much good to get your analysis have a lot of back. now hamas is describing an israeli air strike in gaza as a dangerous escalation the israeli military says it targeted several sites overnight it claimed it was a response to rockets being fired into israel but hamas says the strikes were designed to avert attention from weeks of protests demanding the prime minister resigns. now still ahead of al jazeera well look at why latin america is becoming the epicenter of the crowd of virus pandemic with nearly a 3rd of the world's deaths. signs of change in north macedonia will look at the cafe helping to inspire positive action for people with disabilities.

10:14 am
a little bit of rain coming through the averages $24.00 so we stay above average whatever happens. through the hole to detroit into the whole part of north africa and these little clumps of showers now this is moving sand this is that was suppressed sound because there's no flow rain comes out of these things and when they go off the western side of north africa they do sometimes turn into tropical cyclons which we then talk about in the caribbean not necessarily need to be happening but look at those masses particular embalmer covered in thunderstorms. stories of life and inspiration. a series of short documentaries from around the wound that celebrate the human spirit against the arts. the car the.

saw attack at a prison in jalalabad the complex is home to 1500 inmates it's not yet know how many have escaped. the israeli army says it's killed 4 fighters in the occupied golan heights it's released this video accusing them of planting explosives along the border fence the military described them as a terrorist squad it says the syrian regime is ultimately responsible for video can't be verified no group has claimed the attack for more this governor out to harry forces joins us now live from west jerusalem so harry we've seen a video released israeli military has made a statement other than that what do we know about what exactly happened in the occupied golan heights area. i mean we really only have the israeli account to go by and what they say is that these 4 fighters entered in filtrated into israeli
10:17 am
controlled territory in the southern area of the occupied golan heights that they planted explosives at an unmanned the military outpost in that area that they were tracked and as was as could be seen in the video that was released earlier on monday they were attacked both from the air by. by munitions from from the air and also from a squad of israeli troops on the ground symbol taney asli all 4 of them is removed he says were killed now the question is whether this is in any way related to the tense security situation already existing up on israel's northern front here's the expected retaliation from hezbollah to the killing of one of its fighters inside syria last month has yet to materialize there was an incident a week ago in which israel said there was an attempted infiltration from lebanese territory into the contested israeli controlled area of shebaa farms and that they
10:18 am
were driven back by fire notably not killed in that instance i think the interpretation was that israel didn't want to risk an escalation towards an all out conflict with hezbollah this time this group of fighters was killed the israelis aren't saying that there is a link they're saying they're going to investigate to see if there isn't a link to hezbollah but they are as you say maintaining that syria is responsible for whatever emanates from syrian territory or how a force of their russian air strikes have killed at least 3 people in northern syria 5 others were injured when bombs hit a weapons there in the city of been issued rebel held in that province last month un investigators accused russia and its syrian allies of indiscriminate bombardment of civilians. mali's army has suffered more losses after 5 soldiers were killed in 2 separate attacks on sunday both attacks took place in the center of the

10:20 am
had in the last 15 days is that we all relaxed we all felt that the situation was contained and the situation is not contained. a lot down in colombia was also recently extended through the end of august colombia is among the countries in south america showing the most alarming rates of contagion that is going to you know that there are people who don't follow the rules to go out even without a mask or use it incorrectly so we're in a complicated phase of the pandemic and there's a lot of contagion. latin america is home to an estimated 8 percent of the world's population but accounts for nearly a 3rd of the world's coronavirus debts with brazil and mexico making up a majority of the fatalities in the region. in the case of brazil the government has faced heavy criticism for lacking a unified approach to containment efforts with president. hu caught coded $900.00 himself often appearing in public without a mask. the same is true in mexico where the country's president often makes
