she tells this channel the president must go plus. i'm wayne hay reporting from chiang mai in northern thailand we will tell you why an old protest movement may be about to hit the streets again. india has now confirmed more than 3000000 cases of corona virus after recording more than 70000 new infections in one single day the country is leading the world in the number of new cases covered 19 is spreading through rural areas across the country especially in the north india has the 3rd highest number of infections after the united states and brazil elizabeth around them is in new delhi with more . we are seeing the virus move from the really big metropolitan santa like mumbai is no longer the voice defected spot in maharashtra delhi is no longer

you know one of the worst affected cities and we are really seeing it move from places like mumbai delhi chennai to more rural areas and that is the concern as the virus moves from cities that have the best health care infrastructure in the country to parts of the country that have very poor public health care infrastructure now another problem with the numbers is not just that india is the food worst affected country in the world it is that the logical surveys that are being done around the country show that the real number of cases is no many times the confirmed number nonetheless the government when ever they talk about the situation in the country they are always positive we heard from the health minister on saturday and he spoke about how he actually said india has the best recovery rays in the world that 75 percent of people who had coronavirus in india have recovered and he said that only 1.8 percent of people who've had corona virus have actually died from from the virus the rest currently have it but again the

government is often quotes these numbers but the problem with them is that the cia logical survey showed a different picture 2 of the results of these surveys who released over the past week and they show that one of them in the city of poor may that's in maharashtra that more than 50 percent of population of 6000000 people have antibodies so just in one city alone more than 3000000 people the survey would suggest have had coronavirus well staying with the story. is from the center of social medicine and community health near a university he says there's a need for an improved plan and curb the spread of the virus. underside of concern to change one that it's increasingly spreading to smaller towns and villages. the public and services certainly recur in the device speaking. as well as the fact that though on the aggregate tests have shown up. in terms of tests per

1000000 population india is still a lot behind comparable countries such as the brics nations although they're testing very serious and u.k. india is certainly putting in a lot of emphasis on testing however what is also true is that the info infrastructure and resources need to be augmented a lot more to make testing available to instill greater confidence in the publican system so that people who come forward went even relatively minor symptoms and get tested and the other thing that's really crucial for containing from here. is the extent to which people. practice and certainly enhance preventive behavior such as masses such as distancing as unlock gets into newer and newer areas in other words as newer and newer sectors of the economy open up that the indian health

authorities both central state as well as local health authorities certainly and hunts the risk communication strategies and greater degrees of very sensitive community engagement. south korea has reported its biggest rise in corona virus infections since march with nearly 400 new cases the jump on sunday marks the 3rd day across 300 most of the new infections come from the densely populated seoul area where health workers have struggled to trace contacts the governments banned large scale gatherings and shut nightclubs and churches. that's an american and caribbean countries have been some of the most badly affected by the virus outbreak 17000 you were recorded across the region of the past 7 days but there are signs the spread of the virus could be coming under control the world health organization says the daily infection rates in brazil one of the worst affected countries is now leveling off. the u.s. house of representatives has voted to protect the postal service and reverse

changes that could have delayed the delivery of mail in votes for november's presidential election it's also approved $25000000000.00 in funding his practical again. it's america's favorite government service my far the u.s. postal service that is until recently louis to joy a trunk donor and moralist was put in charge just about 2 months ago and quickly made changes to the financially unstable service mailboxes removed high speed sorting machines ripped out procedures changed over time stopped her money and as a result the mail has slowed considerably he blames a lack of staff because of the coronavirus democrats don't believe him just as we got her from a good stitch with diabetes who feared her family was at risk of losing their insurance after learning her payment had arrived a month late after it was mailed her story is sadly one of many being heard across the nation official post office that. these new documents show that the

delays we have all heard about are actually far worse for their part republicans say it's not a problem nancy pelosi goes politically postal and that is the reason we are here today for a phony political theater to once again bash president charm just in time for this sunday talk shows and the republican national convention the bill is passed so now the house has voted to reverse joyce changes and give the post office $25000000000.00 the reason this is in such a political importance is because of the upcoming election because of the pandemic for the 1st time more than 3 quarters of americans will be allowed to vote by mail but the post office is warning the vast majority of states that they cannot guarantee that those ballots will be delivered in time to be counted the republican

leader of the senate says he is unlikely to take up the bill the house leader thinks that will change they'll be hearing from their constituents because this hits home not receiving your mail on a timely fashion hits home not receiving your prescription is actually for veterans hits home in a way that is harmful to our country as well there is more on the line than missed this could call into question whether they can deliver a free and fair election political gain al-jazeera washington. thousands of people are. expected to take part in more process calling for the president alexander lukashenko to step down dozens of media websites reporting on the mass rallies have now been blocked the journalist association says more than 50 have been shut down including a polish back channel and one radio station funded by the us the spice of violent crackdown demonstrators have been coming out every day since the disputed presidential election on august the 9th meanwhile the belorussian opposition leader

taken off scios says the people of her country will never forgive the police for their harsh treatment of protesters human rights groups have compiled 500 cases of alleged torture my colleague followed by spoke to ticking off sky who's in exile in the few ania she began by asking her if she planned to return to belarus. you know i'm going back to paris i want to go back to bonnaroo say and do my country and i will go they out when i feel safe do you fear for your husband back in belarus. for sure i do here. my husband and the same is i i'm wondering about all the bill russian people who are in the air struggling for their rights. that violence that our thirties showed to the russian people i consider to be their greatest mistake and

i cool for. authorities not to repeat this mistake because our people the real never never forget and forgive and they still our president can be a russian people changed and they will know there are and accept old authorities and they will never. they will never accept an old president anymore and soon the only time he real have to separate and. it's better for everybody it's better for country if it had been in their shortest time. more antigovernment protests are expected in thailand after weeks of student led rally is calling for elections and a new constitution despite a state of emergency in place to control the spread of the virus and

a recent crackdown on government critics wayne hay has more. calling for political change is coming at a cost for many protest leaders in thailand here in the northern city of lumpur $2.00 students were among the latest to be ordered to report to police to hate charges against them for their part in organizing a peaceful rally. for most of our but i feel like thailand is becoming a country that takes away people's rights it's honestly shocking what's concerning about this situation is the fact that a country that claims to be democratic is trying to stop students expressing their opinions. the student led anti-government movement has spread to many parts of the country including the north and northeast the traditional strongholds of a group known as the red shirts that staged large rallies in the capital bangkok in 2010 that ended in a violent military crackdown that been largely quiet in recent years but as the momentum of the current protests grows red shirt leaders in the north of fixing

their loudspeakers and entering the fray panchen with the direction students are going these protests have more power than before because everyone is coming together it isn't just red shirts or adults or people who follow politics. the protesters want a different more democratic political system from the one that allowed the army general who led a coup in 2014 to stay on as prime minister after last year's election but they also want to change an economic system that has helped to make thailand one of the most unequal countries in the world which is being highlighted and made worse by the coronavirus pandemic the city of chiang mai in the north relies heavily on international tourism and is being hit harder than most the protest movement is already showing signs of spreading way beyond just students and the city probably in kept the threat that poses to the government most people here have never supported this government and now many are hurting economically. despite all the

arrests and charges against protest leaders they say they won't be deterred and will continue fighting for a better future. ahead a hung fear can only be used once or twice there's been many cases where they tried to report the protestors but at the end of the day after everyone is over that fear it becomes a catalyst to come out more and go against the government. apart from arresting and charging leaders the government and police haven't tried to stop the protests yet but as the movement grows and becomes more diverse intensifying the pressure on the government that approach may change soon wayne hay al jazeera chiangmai thailand's . still ahead here on al-jazeera. i'm malcolm webb in a tea party station in kenya's highlands more than 60 years ago british colonialists forced the local people off this land to make space for it we'll be speaking to the few that still survive about their fight for justice.

also ahead what kind of german pop concert plus some science tell us about how to get life back on track despite coronavirus. howlers the pattern continues it's not september yet but it's been looking at a time when africa weeks and it still is for europe this is all it's coming of the atlantic frequent frontal systems just been scattered rain really this one here is digging into existing heat in eastern europe so it tends to turn sundry the reasons to on supposedly and probably ukraine maybe belorussian it's running into the hot bit of europe so currently remain here where it's 36 in bucharest but it will turns out to never hind it stopped just disappointingly cloudy and windy quite often it

is for most of western and northern europe for the south it's still quite nice in spain nice and warm and some degree in italy as well but increasingly the likelihood of showers is there and that's creepy into as you see much of remain here and certainly hungary the temperatures dropping considerably now in morocco the breezes to the north the lake and the showers were shot forming are now in clumps in central africa and then moving slowly west so once you've got $29.00 in robot and it's much hotter in the tropical part of africa it's in nigeria i think we have to watch the next development of significant thunderstorms drifting slowly west was so the forecast low budget for example is a pretty wet one. in this edition of 2000 there are we'll take you on a journey with us to qatar's diverse wildlife we'll be joined by i'm reading by a mention of that and also a conservationist will be discussing the impact the potential uncontrolled

development could have on these diverse wildlife species living here if i'm protected. pot of the time for a month i was on the road loving god we are the while traveling the extra mile where are the media don't go we go there and we give them a chance to tell their story. welcome back you're watching al-jazeera mining's peter davi you're headlining stories india has now confirmed more than 3000000 cases of coronavirus after recording well and 70000 new infections in one single day the country is also leading the world in the number of new cases. the u.s.

is going through the process of having a thorough going diagnostic series of tests performed on him by the doctors and nurses in the shouty hospital behind me here in central land no statement given from the hospital so far as to what the have found all we know is that on saturday they said that they would be performing this battery of tests and until they were in a position to inform his family of what their conclusions were they would be making no statement we know that they do not anticipate any news conference taking place on sunday one development to report today is that mr van these wife is with him that she has gone into the hospital as a behind me or my right shoulder and is therefore within and is able to ask the doctors what their findings have been and that sort of thing but nothing has been made public remember she is the one who alleges that those russian doctors who 1st

treated mr know of our need didn't lay the release of mr vanney for long enough in her words for whatever was in his system to degrade making it harder for it to be detected clearly if there is something in his system which has made him so poorly and it will be the staff here in the hospital who will discover it so as i say you really are not are naive that's his wife yulia. ledges that the delay was to allow what was in his system to become degraded hard to find the problem for all of us here is that we know it's unlikely they'll be any kind of statement from any party in this affair today dominic many thanks dominic and our reporter there in berlin. a community of more than $100000.00 people in kenya is seeking compensation from the british government for forced displacement from their homes and their farmland that happened under colonial rule in the 1st half of the 20th century to make way
