6:06 am
weekly cases are expected to exceed those reported when the pandemic peaked in march in europe what exactly do the numbers reflect is it a case that there's been more testing being done or an alarming rate of the transmission of the virus. i think one of the things we have to understand is that there are it is not whether the pandemic is global the drivers of new cases in different communities may be very different and reflect the nature of the communities and the kind of meeting and mingling of people that is happening in those communities in many places after a summer lockdown measures in which people. restricted their travel restricted interacting with others socially the lockdown measures were able to slow the spread of the virus and dramatically in some cases slow the speed at which new cases appeared but as communities began to slow those rates and to lift the measures and

6:08 am
on this kind of nucleic acid called or in a they are what's called error prone they do accumulate and mutations and changes but so far it doesn't hear that there are tremendous differences in how to viruses or how likely it is to cause disease based on those changes and it is being watched very carefully thank you so much for talking to us julie fish associate research professor at george town university in washington thank you for your time thank you for lynn israel protesters have taken to the streets of tel aviv rallying against a 2nd nationwide coronavirus knock down which will begin on friday businesses are being forced to shut over the jewish new year because of a rise in cases many shop owners say they want to survive this time around after being forced to close in march israel is one of the 1st countries simply meant a nation wide lockdown for a 2nd time it's expected to last 3 weeks in the u.s. new york city's mayor has once again delayed children returning to classrooms you

6:10 am
to village using makeshift outdoor classrooms with covert 900 safety measures in mind they say they are trying their best and limited resources. we are thankful that even though the road to a village is bad and it's very far away the teach is still willing to come and teach us schools in this community like many across indonesia have been shot since march the teachers took it upon themselves to stop visiting the villages of the students knowing that without internet access and often no electricity online learning was never a viable option for most children here. the pandemic has disrupted the education of millions of indonesian children and it's not just remote provinces experiencing difficulties with distance learning but cities close to the capital as well. in tiger on the western border with jakarta schools are closed and these children have

6:14 am
and judges alike tend not like to convict on this unless there is real hard evidence to show that there is an imminent threat the government. experts say aggressive prosecution could stifle legitimate free speech and political expression which are protected under the u.s. constitution i think the threat of the erast alone would be sufficient to make some people feel it is not safe for me to go out on the street and exercise my 1st amendment rights and the thought that the government would yield its power in a way that would curtail or chill or silence that type of speech should be really frustrating and upsetting threatening to us as american citizens trump is using the protest to drum up his law and order platform during the election campaign but a report by princeton university shows 93 percent of all protests since floyd's
