not to do so and it is doing everything in its power to make sure that the citizens of victoria and those in the city of melbourne where complete lockdown is under why not me a daniel andrews has said that these restrictions were absolutely needed because one big problem has been that many people who tested positive through the virus have not been staying at home he said that nearly one 3rd of people who did have a clue that 19 weren't at home when or forty's it did knock on their door over the past few days so this means that there will be a huge police presence defense force personnel presence on the streets of melbourne and around regional victoria making sure that papal law abiding by the rules and that is to make sure that this community transmission is not continuing and we are seeing a drop in the number of cases now in the philippines long towns have been renamed post in and around manila public transport has been halted and some businesses shops people now need special passes to leave more than $3200.00 new infections

were confirmed across the country on monday the philippines is the 2nd worst affected nation in southeast asia off indonesia. now though several countries are racing to develop a cope with 19 vaccine the world health organization is downplaying expectations its director general says there may never be a silver bullet that eradicates the virus and testing and containment remains the best defense the u.k. has announced tests can provide a result within 90 minutes some new guy ego has more from london. the technology is fast moving from next week testing for corona virus in the u.k. will be easier than ever less invasive with no need for a health professional to administer them 5800000 on the spot test will be using d.n.a. alongside $450000.00 swap samples and rather than the current $1.00 to $2.00 day

wait the results are known within an hour and a half we can expand testing capacity further and into settings where for instance in schools we have currently we have survey testing so we have some testing that would be able to be expanded but also looking at looking across the community where we want to test people who don't have symptoms to find out where the virus is the testing system itself is complex and reliant on multiple supply chains to source the products but it's hoped that it could open up a new phase in testing across the country these tests could signify a game changing moment not only will they be able to be carried out by practically anyone but they can also detect seasonal flu meanwhile those behind the testing say that controls are being put in place so as they can avoid any false negatives

britain had come under severe criticism at the start of the pandemic the government was blamed for being too slow to go into lockdown too lax testing and had failed to get a successful track and trace system up and running and despite promising leads in its bid to find a vaccine recent regional surges in the u.k. and the rest of europe are warning that the pandemic is nowhere near over the reason or silver bullet at the moment and then might never be for now stopping out bricks comes down to the basics of possibly coal and this is going through him. testing isolating and treating patients and tracing and quote and tuning their contacts the message more or less the same as it was at the start of the pandemic the basic prevention measures are as crucial as ever as governments try to stamp out rising infection rates to avoid the full lock

in the u.s. and killed more than 155000 the centers for disease control forecasts $20000.00 additional deaths by late this month. trump once again hailed his administration's response the united states has done an amazing job and great job meanwhile teacher protests continue to grow against schools fully reopening next month something continues to strongly support and negotiations stalled over extending an economic lifeline to $30000000.00 unemployed us workers as white house negotiators met with democratic leaders on capitol hill the sticking points include the democrats' desire to continue unemployment benefits of $600.00 a week republicans say that's too generous and proposed $200.00 a week instead the democrats also want to allocate

a trillion dollars to states and cities hit hard by revenue shortfalls resulting from the pandemic dismiss the idea they want to bail out cities and states that have done a bad job over a long period of time nothing to do with the coronavirus or china virus or whatever you want to call it they want to bail out cities and states and what bailout money trump has been talking about signing an executive order extending unemployment benefits and banning dictions but so far he has not acted robert oulds al-jazeera now hurrican a seance has made landfall in the us state of north carolina $300.00 thousands of lost power and flooding in the beachside community calls several houses house fires rather it's since been downgraded to a tropical storm as it passes through eastern parts of the state the storm is headed up north towards new york state now and flooding and landslides in south

korea have killed at least 13 people much of the damage is in the region surrounding the capital seoul president moon j. and it's cold in the mergence sea meeting he says rescue teams will do all they can to prevent further loss of life. speak now to friday joins us live from there so have all the missing been accounted for at this point rob. the casualty figures remain unchanged at the moment this tuesday afternoon we still have confirmed 13 people dead with a further 13 missing but thousands of more people displaced across these mountainous areas of south korea and the human cost of these unprecedented storms that's been referred to by moving jay and the president of south korea chairing an emergency meeting this tuesday afternoon talking about these storms of course it has been in the mountainous areas where we've seen something like $200.00 separate landslides which have caused the most damage the most casualties people caught with

mudslides inundating homes businesses also flash floods as these storms have gradually moved up the korean peninsula and now pretty much this band of storms across the korean peninsula east to west pretty much where the border is the d.m.z. border between north and south korea and still gradually moving now into north korea being fed all the time by this by this typhoon system which is working its way through china which seems to be leading this system and will expected to be in place for the rest of this week as these storms gradually move north but to give you an idea of the kind of rains we've been having here in a neighboring county to here further along the d.m.z. every corded through the weekend until today tuesday something like 500 millimeters of rain. right now highlights just how difficult even a flood can become even more complicated because of the north south divide right

talk us through that. absolutely this is the engine river at the southern end of the engine that starts in north korea flows down here and in fact forms part of the border between north and south and across the river there that's the north career on the other shore of this river we have got a bit of a rest bite at the moment so we can actually see the other side but more rains are on their way in but the river originates in north korea and to take the pressure off the water systems up there what the north koreans tend to do is they release water from a dam upstream which then leads to a surge of water coming down south now is after precedented rains back in 2009 that the north koreans released a wall of water that came down and claimed 6 lives here in south korea that the 2 koreas agreed that in future north korea must warn the south what it's going to do that's going to release water which is all well and good it does that except of course recently with the souring of relations we've had all the hot lines cut by

the north so we know from south korea that the north koreans have been releasing water 3 times over the past few weeks most recently yesterday monday but they get no warning that water is coming down they simply have to monitor it to make sure that there is no risk from it but we are expecting as these storms move further north the north koreans have put some areas of the country on its highest state of alert it is of course more vulnerable because it doesn't have the kind of infrastructure that the south has it it's agriculture is more susceptible to these storms and with crops being at risk and so they are they are anticipating the fallout from this with again maybe up to 500 millimeters of rainfall and before the end of this week and for north korea with all of its other problems the last thing it wants right now is the impact from extreme weather thanks so much from. still ahead on al-jazeera. my son's death and not. the u.s.

our supreme court 1st it had 9 members then 5 now they want to increase it again it's a pretty court of a country cannot be manipulated by the wishes of one person. for decades and tina have repeatedly been accused of pro-government bias reforming the judiciary was one of the 1st pledges of this when he became president in december. we are going to talk to believe that reforming the justice system is necessary because it's filled with corruption and irregularities but many do not trust in the government because they believe that this is a way of ensuring control over the judiciary during the previous government of president. there were a series of high profile detentions of people close to former president and now vice president cristina fernandez the case now. most are facing corruption trials including question herself who says the allegations against her are politically

motivated. but the precedent says he's main objective is an independent judicial branch. with this we are looking to get beyond having decision making power concentrated in a reduced number of magistrates that as is currently the case have the power to know and decide in nearly all cases with institutional and therefore high profile relevance. the proposed law plans to increase the number of federal courts from $12.00 to $46.00 and create a commission made up of 11 experts to assess additional reforms that include the supreme court questioners lawyer is part of the commission we know sociologist and legal expert provided the latter adolescence the government is making a mistake. here the name of the lawyer of the former president is a very clear message the government has given us we don't have to cover our eyes there are no excuses on why that lawyer is there in many latin american countries

they have been reforms of the judiciary as in colombia in the 1990 s. the access to tribunals the changed history but they are not during that. week forming the judiciary's likely to increase political tensions here for many doing so in the middle of economic and social problems caused by the covert 1000 pandemic is wrong. when a scientist pakistan's prime minister a man carlos told al-jazeera his country prevented a military escalation between saudi arabia and iran he also spoke about last year's border skirmish with india and new delhi as decision to revoke the autonomy of indian administered kashmir. the indian government rather than. asking us for an explanation or warning proofs trying to prove that pakistan was involved this sent the jets and bombed us we we had to retaliate one of the indian jets was

brought down in pakistan we returned the pilot because pakistan does not want an escalation and i repeat do nuclear armed countries you can order of food and escalation because you do not know once even a small skirmish starts you don't know where it will end up and that's why we tried our best to tell the indians the let's resolve this issue on the table we are willing to talk to them but that was only till 5th august last year and the curfew has been imposed in indian administered kashmir ahead of the one year anniversary since the region was stripped of autonomy thousands of indian troops have been deployed to the region soldiers have warned residents to stay indoors and have ordered shops closed and internet blackout and security clampdown last year resulted in thousands of people being arrested the iranian capital tehran is becoming one of the most other affordable cities in the world to live in high

inflation stagnant wages and rising house prices are pushing many into poverty many are blaming us sanctions and government policies i said beg reports from to head on . with a population of $8600000.00 people that iran has more residents per square kilometer than london and istanbul but your rants capital is facing a housing crisis. asking about prices they've gone up people's purchasing power is reduced rents also hiked people are stuck in the middle they can't pay these friends there is pressure on them a worker whose salary is $470.00 cannot pay $420.00 for rent. small apartments type keypad together and old homes standing next to new developments yet even in this neighborhood the cheapest into her own people are moving out because they can't afford the prices life here is in sharp contrast to

that in the north of the city gated communities expensive cause and luxury apartments but even here the affluent say they are feeling the pinch to a lot of the u.s. dollar has a great impact most of the construction projects in this area he was foreign materials and when the dollar goes up property prices are multiplying. the country is facing record levels of inflation stagnant wages and its currency is losing its value rents in this part of the one can cost anything from 2000 to $10000.00 a month prices out of reach for most iranians people are looking to the government for more affordable housing and it's important that the government delivers because it's the working class here that make up the core support for the political establishment and with difficult times ahead the last thing you rein in authorities want is people voicing their discontent on the streets but many say the government hasn't delivered affordable housing projects like this have stalled in recent years

and fallen short of the target of 900000 housing units needed to be built every year. when it comes to the real estate sector as president can face we've had shortcomings in our government unfortunately some of our housing policies went to implemented his words are of no comfort to those struggling to pay rent well until i was my age i work in a lab and earn $700.00 per month but i have to be totally to rent my husband works too but we're under pressure. at the shall i rent a flat 2 to 3 years ago because of high rents now i have to live in social security benefits and stay at a shelter for homeless women not all the problems can be blamed on the government u.s. sanctions mean state revenues have dropped there's less money available for projects including housing and initiatives have been launched to change things a proposed tax on empty properties and a 25 percent cap on increasing grain prices right now it's not certain any

government policy will work to bring down costs and the one remains a city with more demand for housing than supply said big al-jazeera. thailand has a gun culture that some have compared to that of the united states but the mass shooting that killed 29 people has prompted new questions about the need for reform . as the story from caught it was thailand's worst mass shooting after killing his commanding officer an active duty soldier went on a shooting spree in the northeastern city of caracas in early february it took police over 16 hours to bring the rampage to an end before the soldier was shot and killed in the shopping mall 29 people were dead dozens wounded. a lot to take on no but i was riding his motorcycle near the mall when he saw someone injured in bleeding. and once i saw him i just wanted to help him i didn't even think past

shooting going on about deacon was then shot several times and spent 3 months in intensive care he never like guns before and now has a message for gun enthusiasts communication in the days when mistakes happen it can change someone's entire life they should not think it's cold. but gee about the cons of view of guns is uncommon in thailand according to the small arms survey thailand tops the list for gun ownership in all of asia 15 out of every 100 people here own a firearm that's more than 10000000 weapons but about 4000000 of them are unregistered while the deadly shooting here in karate is viewed by some criminologist as a copycat to previous mass shootings it has elevated concern over the gun culture here in thailand where it just in guns is it fueled by the perception of control power and status. some see thailand's gun culture tied to popular hobbies and trends and missionary influenced by u.s.

troops stationed here during the vietnam war but political instability is also a factor. politics play a big part of gun culture in thailand the political situation here is not stable and people have been living under different regimes so people trying to preserve their power to do that they feel they need firearms especially tire leagues. with tires good is the editor of a gun magazine and a gun range owner he doesn't think there's a correlation between the number of weapons and the amount of gun crime is worried about illegal weapons in untrained hands. it's about the state of our society the state of our economy or influences from social media people see mass shooting in america and copy the behavior. many thais feel that if weapons remain as easy to get as they are now could very well be more vigils held for those killed by guns got harder al-jazeera thailand polls have just opened in
