a new 15 minute testing kits also ahead. the death toll rises as armenia and azerbaijan fights over the disputed region of the golan okada box. and the president's under pressure to keep a promise to we go as abortion in argentina. the number of people worldwide who have died from corona virus has talked to 1000000 and even with that figure the true number of lives lost is likely to be higher still because of the number of cases that still go undetected now these are the latest figures from the johns hopkins university tracker as he can see the global fatality rate has top 1001000. it's within the last few years and there are

still more than $33000000.00 records it's infections that the u.s. brazil and india make up more than 50 percent of those cases those 3 countries remember also account for nearly half of all global deaths the us alone has reported more than 200000 coronavirus fatalities that's one in 5 covert deaths world why it's well the u.n. secretary general has been reacting to what he called a mind numbing figure but it's on to new york a terrorist cold on the world's not so lose hope and urged people to continue observing necessary precautions to curb the spread of the virus or will those reached an agonizing milestone the loss of 1000000 lives from the coverage in 1000 pandemic it's a mind numbing figure yet we must never lose sight of each and every individual life there were fathers and mothers wives and husbands brothers and sisters friends

and colleagues the pain as mean multiplied by the 7 minutes of these disease riess of infection kept families from bedsides and the process of mourning and celebrating a life was over and maybe impossible well the u.s. remains the worst affected nation in the world heidi joe castro has more from silver spring in maryland. these $1000000.00 plus deaths worldwide we know that at least one in 5 more deaths due to co but here in the united states the us total death toll is still far surpassing that of any other country in the world how public health officials here are also concerned now that although things seem to be under control to the extent they're fearful of a 2nd wave and they're looking particularly at places like new york city which saw a catastrophic losses of life in april then seeming to contain the virus

successfully only to have new hotspots there blaring out in these days that we're experiencing now president trump though saying that this nation is turning a corner on the pandemic he hosted a rose garden event at the white house today in which she announced the distribution of $150000000.00 rapid coded diagnostic tests they would produce results you say he says within 15 minutes 50000000 are going toward vulnerable communities including nursing homes the remaining 100000000 to states and territories to be given out in schools and in work settings. well those drop a task of the trade being less sensitive and more likely to return false positives but they are being welcomed nonetheless this is not the deep brain biopsy that we talk about this will generally done by a health care provider but it can be done supervised it's easy

123-451-2345. into the test twisted 3 times. the adhesive is pulled off. and you wait 15 minutes and that is the test it really could not be easier than this this is a very sophisticated little piece of cardboard with lots of antibodies and incredible technology into that. all you test kits are a base in the country which has recorded a 5th of the total covert deaths worldwide but a new surgeon infections is bringing fears of a 2nd wave kristen salumi reports anthony and rosemary terrio were married for 65 years they died in new york 5 days apart during the peak of the coronavirus pandemic they met when my mom was like 17 and they were together ever since i moved to queens. and oh gosh right after they got married the disease has made its way

through new york in the terrio family now it is the midwestern united states that are seeing the most new cases which are on the rise for the 1st time in 8 weeks as the nationwide death toll tops 200008 family members had it you know it just it went the whole gamut my my sister was taking care of my mother she quoted then she gave it to her son and her son gave it to his partner and my my brother gave it to his wife and my other brother connie gave it to his wife while the other family members have recovered the impact of the disease is still being felt experts attribute the recent spike on the reopening of schools and universities as well as large end of summer gatherings but the terrio has also blame politicians and ordinary people across the country they feel aren't doing enough to stop the spread is some seeing so much. people not being careless where

a mask can stabilize and there are so many other old people that are i don't want this happens you know when they can just be responsible and not complacent with something that they may survive but it doesn't necessarily have to be an old person it can be a woman battling long you know breast cancer a little child battling leukemia or something like that in just a mask you know for a few minutes a family struggling with loss and hoping that amid the uncertainties of a pandemic others can be spared their pain kristen salumi al-jazeera new york well chris adelson is assistant professor of government at the american university he says there's a lack of trust in the u.s. administration among many americans. 200000 americans are dead. it's hard to even grasp that it's been 6 months that's more people than dying and

large scale wars the united states has fought for that other countries fight it's changed every aspect of life many people have been home for 6 months my children are home children are going to school in person there are reports of children not having access to school online a lot of it depends on whether you have enough money or not and i'm concerned personally that children 'd are losing ground they can't make up educationally even those who do have access people are not going to the office people are not traveling people cannot see older relatives it's changed every aspect of life and right now one of the problems that i see in the united states is we don't really have a lot of hope we we've learned not to trust the administration on this and we don't know when realistically things will get better we've been told before the president said this this virus will go away with the warm weather that wasn't true now he says we're rounding a corner the statistics every day tell a different story we still are leading the world in new cases and we're seeing as

many as a 1000 people die every single day. it's just changed everything about american life it's been up ended and really it's hard to know 'd when things will move in a positive direction south korea meanwhile remains an example of success bright as in seoul and explains why the numbers there have remained low. i don't think there's any secret remedy they tended to do what most other countries have done but they took it from the very start very seriously and did it in a very timely fashion in some respects south korea maybe already had a had a head start and advantage in that it's been through an experience of pandemics before it was a badly affected by sars in 2003 again from china and also by mers from the middle east much later so it already has in place a very good public health systems for detecting dealing with outbreaks and pandemics in fact they do a twice annual exercise

a simulation run but by all of these public health officials in the last one was done just last december so they're already looking around with the system in place but also working very closely with with private companies there are a lot of large corporations here and very early on the government got together with those companies and said ok we're going in the tests we're going to lead a lot of them we can guarantee we will buy all of these tests off you they fast tracked. the system to put in place so they set out from the very beginning a very good tracing and tracking system which is really kept the numbers very low we had a large outbreak in february in daegu down in the southeast of the country and we've had a small outbreaks since then but you have a lot of public cooperation the government says wear masks everyone wears masks the economy has never actually closed down people talk about lock downs and there have been certain restrictions on some companies here in south korea but basically the

economy has kept going well talk to sanjay at 7 i aca is a associate professor actions diseases at the strain the national university he says public can gauge menses an important factor in a country's ability to contain the fire us if you look at. places like vietnam. in its 1st wave x. you only had about 300 cases and 0 debts which is quite extraordinary you are places like south korea and thailand which is doing extremely well now in new zealand there's been a lot of engagement and cooperation from the public and in the places now where we're seeing surges such as in europe we're seeing a lot of protests and anger with the public about the government's policies particularly with regard to lock downs and wearing masks so i think public engagement seems to be so important so pivotal in getting this response right now

if you're trying to even if you're trying to live with a small number of cases there needs to be a threshold beyond which you have to respond and try and reduce that number of cases before you need it before you have expansion growth and the only way to do that is to get people to get tested quickly and isolate themselves while they're waiting for the test results and have a quick turnover of test results because people get frustrated and angry otherwise so talk about these rapid point of can test that are really important but inevitably they will have to be with a big outbreak some sort of reinventing some sort of restrictions and as long as the government engages with the public and said no this is only for a finite amount of time here is our road map these are the targets hopefully everyone will cooperate and things will improve. and you can learn what it was like for correspondents gabriel elizondo to report from new york when the pandemic was

at its peak he shares his experiences in between oh you can find it on the a.j. goal section of our website sound just don't come. still to come here on al-jazeera 2 years after the death of journalist tim officer g suspects are named but they're on likely to ever face punishment plus. to for me this is a national security question here speaker of the house says donald trump's taxes tax issues pose a danger for the entire nation. but . hello the weather is looking pretty quiet across the middle east now jealous of want to showers up towards the caucuses will do much to speak of the chance of want

to see showers just creep in the way into turkey as we go on through the next few days but that aside is is pretty much bone dry you might just catch your special spot of rain in iran for a time but again nothing too much to speak of temperatures here in doha to around $35.00 celsius we'll see temperatures down recent valleys but around the 40 degree month kuwait and also for baghdad temperatures still getting up to around the 30 degree up with plenty of sunshine the around the eastern side of the mediterranean meanwhile we've got the showers continuing to roll into the heart of africa pretty much where they should be now sliding down across cameron pushing down into gabon some heavy rain heaviest rains going to be just around the the rift valley also over towards the the western side of the rift valley so not too many showers over towards the indian ocean but the chance of an optional shower or 2 just creeping in you see the showers coming a little more widespread around i wonder burundi and pushing down into was as we go

through the next day or so you might catch a shot surge of the far south of south africa we wanted to show was moving into the eastern cape. from out geria liberia ponderous and cameroon al jazeera world means for writers and performers this must not journeys to europe have changed their lives i can use therefore i say about women. i'm tommy about we we we we are moving fleeing persecution seeking a safe haven and creative freedom a hard road from home journalists and activists on al-jazeera.

this is al jazeera a quick reminder of the headlines for you night coronavirus sasa passed 1w3x3w people have been infected it's all white the u.s. president and in the account for nearly half of the world's coronavirus tests run a 5th have been in the united states alone. and fierce fighting between azerbaijan and armenia has killed dozens of soldiers and at least 11 civilians the conflict in the nagorno-karabakh region escalated sharply on monday and robin forest of walker reports now they are. summoned to war these armenian reservists are leaving the capital yerevan president nicol passion un called all men into military service of the fighting erupted on

sunday over the disputed region of the golden carabao. on the frontline armenia says it is repelling azeri attacks in what both sides a calling a war the last time they fought a full war was in the early 1990 s. after the collapse of the soviet union some 20000 people were killed a ceasefire was brokered in 1904 that sporadic fighting has continued ever since russia traditionally armenia's ally in the region has called the car. we continue to monitor the situation very closely we believe that the military operation should be stopped immediately and the process of resolving this conflict as well as a consequences of flare up should be resolved by political and diplomatic means. but media and karabakh officials say turkey's involvement is untenable for

the little i don't want this is going to work out i wanted to clear that not only as a by john but also to key is at war with us they are using the main modern weapons and ammunition available in the turkish army drones and aircraft. hospitals instead panic that the care about capital have received dozens of wounded soldiers and civilians some patients were moved into bomb shelters you know. we had 30 wounded and they were operations undergoing some patients who were in hospitals were evacuated into the bunker and the seriously ill people are in the hospital we are working on high alert in a ready to receive the wounded. as a by john says armenian artillery struck well inside its territory 5 family members were killed in the city of nafta than many more were hurt armenia and azerbaijan

are also waging an information war releasing defense videos showing air strikes but without context or making claims that have so far proven difficult to verify such as turkey's military involvement or the deployment by both sides of middle eastern mercenaries to the front lines. regardless the casualty rates a climbing and so far the international response has yet to pull these armies back from the brink robin 1st year war al-jazeera tbilisi. so i guess prosecutors have named 6 more side nationals the suspects in the killing of journalist. $27.00 the nationals are already being tried in absentia in istanbul earlier this month the site equals jailed 8 people for up to 20 years ji was a prominent critic of saudi crown prince mohammed bin son man he was murdered in

the sody consulate in istanbul in 28 algiers mohammed follows covering this for us from istanbul according to the announcement by the general prosecutor 2 of these individuals were of fish souls in the in the saudi consulate one of them was even serving as deputy counsel and they are accused of participating in the preparation and execution of the murder of. on october to 2 years ago the 4 others saudi nationals accused of arriving. here in turkey in istanbul on october 10th october 11th and their mission according to the accusation was to participate in the in the in getting rid of the evidence there is a lot of criticism both here in turkey and in the west to the way saudi arabia handled the whole file and the way the trial went on in saudi arabia i missed

international described it as a whitewash the u.n. which has conducted an investigation and came to the conclusion that there was a premeditated murder against. describe the trial and the sentences as a mockery so the debate is still going on particularly here in turkey turkey is insisting that there is more to tell the world about this trial and that it should not be put to a close. france's president. has to form a governments within 6 weeks. but the resignation over the prime minister. but as. it was a month ago. there was an opportunity. it was here where she met french president. who visited neighborhoods damaged by the devastating explosion at port. of the

oceans. first and. it's all together. before. it's clear. here it's the youth who are making the change and hopefully it's not for the kids. accused of betrayal for failing to form a nonpartisan government to deal with the deep economic crisis. in. what you see. is in desperate need of financial assistance to rebuild what was damaged by the poor. economy france and other international powers have refused to provide aid.

are made those who want. to bring about. protest action that is why many were putting their hopes on the international community but they've been. giving. them another 6 weeks to implement france's road map. whose house was destroyed in the port explosion believes a new deadline won't change much and the ruling class accused of decades of corruption give up power. he gave them another chance to agree but they won't be able to do that they don't want to rescue the country they want to rob the country but i have hope in michael he made us feel like human beings and citizens of a nation the international community did step in to provide much needed assistance to the port blast victims but in the absence of a political solution there is concern lebanon's parties are tied to foreign

countries in particular the united states and iran their power struggle is played out here everybody stepping up. from both sides. so. what i am asking from this big elected nation. ok to help the lebanese people france accused lebanon's leaders of holding the country and its people hostage many such as libyan agree. beirut. or president mccraw as expected so meets the bell original position leaders are taken of scalia on cheese day he's in the lithuanian campus or where he's been holding talks with presidents from thomas now say that they've agreed to push the european union to decide on sanctions against bella bruce over alleged election fraud and human rights abuses. yes house speaker nancy pelosi says financial information reveals about the president in a new york times report is

a national security issue donald trump has dismissed the investigation which claims he's hardly paid any income tax in the past 15 years he reportedly has hundreds of millions of dollars in loans which are all the info within the next few years lucy says she's concerns about whether this is impacting u.s. policy or diplomatic relations. this president appears to have over $400000000.00 in debt or 20 whatever it is $1000000.00 in debt to home different countries what is the leverage they have so for me this is a national security question where white house correspondents can really hold hands more the u.s. president for his part is fighting back against these allegations not only in a hastily called press conference late sunday but also on twitter in fact here's one of the statements that he made he says the fake news media just like election

time 2016 is bringing up my taxes and all sorts of other nonsense with illegally obtained information and only bad intent i paid many millions of dollars in taxes but was a title like everyone else to depreciation and tax credits now what the president's alluding to here is sort of a well kept secret in the united states if you can afford a tax attorney if you can afford a high pace high paid or high priced accountant all of this is perfectly legal the question becomes is it ethical is it moral certainly this is the practice of many wealthy individuals in the united states and one would even suggest around the world still he is being attacked not only by prominent democrats but also some ordinary americans concerned about this given the fact that many working class and middle class americans pay thousands of dollars annually in taxes and in fact this is the focus of an advert by the democratic presidential nominee joe biden making

that contrast that ordinary americans are paying thousands when the president appears at least on paper to have paid just hundreds. authorities in northern california say at least 3 people have died in a fast moving wildfire thousands have been forced to flee their homes as nearly 30 major fires burn across the state more than 800 foreign fighters have been struggling to control the latest blaze in the wine for juicing napa valley region north of san francisco california suffering is the worst wildfire season in 18 years. in mexico's capital process and supports all abortion have turned firelands the rally was planned by several feminist groups protesters are calling for abortions to be made legal nationwide's. meanwhile hundreds of women in argentina have gathered in the capital comal the president to fulfill his promise to legalize abortion so risible reports from one aside. failure this

year it seemed argentina was ready to debate once again the legalization of abortion in this mostly catholic country. it was a campaign promise by president albert of the farm and this but then the pandemic happened and the now barry says the government is using coronavirus as an excuse to postpone the debate in congress. that the government says it's not a priority and yet the government acknowledges it is a matter of public health they're delaying the debate there's a social crisis and abortion and contraceptives are crucial because it's affecting the poor we need answers and a law that protects women. in the times of covert 19 the green scarves that have come to represent the call for free and safe abortions have been replaced by green masks but the goal remains the same. in argentina abortion is legal only in

case of rape or if a woman's life is at risk but hundreds of thousands of abortions happen in a calander stein way using pills and other methods at home amnesty international is part of a campaign to raise awareness on the consequences plan to stand up oceans have on women's lives. for the year pick up the on the i'm happy to do. it in 2018 the bill was rejected by the senate after clearing the lower house it was the 1st time the bill was debated in congress but even though for a man this was keen on seeing the debate in congress once again women here say the government is prioritizing the relationship with pope francis who is also argentinean out of an architect but the fact that now we are hearing the pope is planning to come to argentina next year and the government wants to guarantee those

negotiations because the pope is helping with the international monetary fund to pay the foreign debt but women will continue to die so we will continue to demand what we believe is our right. to a right that this women say has been denied for far too long that is how will one aside if. i'm alamo hittin in doha with your headlines on al-jazeera coronavirus related deaths have surpassed 1000000 a more than 33000000 people have been infected with the virus worldwide the us brazil and india account for nearly half of the world's kovar deaths around a 5th of pain in the united states alone the daily death toll there is declining but new infections are rising bringing fears of a 2nd wave.
