country's parliament an election system is controlled by a political elite the divided up power and influence after the civil war. and this crisis is not enough unfortunately for them to be convinced because most of them were the actors of the war and they do not think properly peers fairly and their civilized way in order to get the people in the power they want to keep the power in their hands. many people in lebanon describe their circumstances as like being held hostage. here and. if the government resigned then there is hope to be able to build the country and live our lives like we want to we wanted to become a proper state we do not have a country and we're not able to live in one month when i. was pretty. cool a national unity government do after just destruction blood and death we can change

humanitarian chief mark lowcock says that billions will be needed to fully bring lebanon back from the brink and there's concern that money given by the international community would not go directly to the people but would end up propping up this government which has had so many problems in the words of secretary general good terrace he said the anger on the streets is palpable and it has to be heard so that was really the message coming out of the briefing today it was acted by other u.n. officials david beasley of the world food program and he also said that without international support lebanon's food situation he would run out of food in 2 and a half weeks so the u.n. is dealing with those immediate needs food and medical in particular 3 hospitals were destroyed in that blaze so that is a big issue right now for lebanon as well but long term we heard time and again about this need for reform coming not only from u.n.

officials but member states who spoke as well like jordan egypt and other neighbors in the region who are very concerned about lebanon's ability to come back from this . mineral indian authorities of seize 740 tons of ammonium nitrate the same chemical that exploded in beirut that had been stalled afraid station near the southern city of chennai's since 2015 when it was confiscated local media savvy 191 tons of been moved to hyderabad and the rest is expected soon followed suit. the number of recorded corona virus infections worldwide has surpassed 20000005 months after the pandemic was declared that's according to the johns hopkins university tracker which also shows global deaths of more than 730000 about 12000000 people are known to have recovered the us brazil and india remain the worst affected countries with more than 10000000 recorded cases between them their stray and state of victoria the epicenter of the country's resurgent outbreak has reported another 19 deaths in 24 hours there are also more than $330.00 new infections victoria

secret service for doing their. always quick and very effective work but there was an actual shooting and. somebody has been taken to the hospital i don't know the condition of the person mike hanna joins us live now from washington d.c. mike sir president trump's press conference there abruptly interrupted by his secret service detail so what more do we now know about the security incident itself well president trump came back and made that statement saying that he was unruffled by it all that he had not been taken down to the bunker below the white house building but he spent the minutes away in the white house an oval office waiting for the situation to clarify the secret service has released a statement saying that one secret service agent and one what it called mail subject were injured and taken to hospital in the shooting it says at no time was

there a breach in the white house complex and at no stage has the secret service was any up it's protected under threat so that's the situation from the secret service president trump as you saw there at the way for a number of minutes but return to carry on with this news briefing yet michael when he came back from talks up the economy he talked up the stock market also spoke broadly about the pandemic what more they have to say. indeed years really repeated things that we've heard about the pandemic before some of which many health officials disagree with entirely he once again hailed the testing procedures within the united states as the best in the world saying that his administration was doing better than anybody in terms of dealing with the ongoing pandemic he also turned to the issue of schools this has been a contentious point within the united states president trump has been urging all schools to reopen in person the school year is just about to begin

a number of schools in some states have begun to open most of them did virtual education in other words they were doing and remote plea as they did when that pandemic hit in some states children were given the option of whether to be tutored at home by a virtual education or to go to school in one state in indiana one county in indiana only about 70 percent of children actually attended school in person but president trump repeated the highly contentious statement that children are less prone to infection than adults this is what he had to say. that they will catch it easily don't get very sick and according to the people that i've spoken to they don't transported or transferred to other people or certainly not very easily so yeah i think schools have to open who want to get our economy going.

well the opinion of senior health officials is that whether or not children carry the virus and to what degree they efficiently carry it is actually unknown at this particular stage what is known is that more than a quarter of a 1000000 children in the united states have tested positive for the virus so that's another statement by president trump that's highly questionable bearing right to my kind of there live from washington mike thank you. watch out for a short break here al-jazeera want to come back on course for a showdown in greece turkey pushes ahead with its plans to drill in disputed waters in the eastern mediterranean and neglected during years of war in yemen the ancient homes of some hours old city are ravaged by flooding more and that stay with us. hello zhang me maybe a tropical storm but you'd be forgiven to think it wasn't the speed is moving i
