his name was in roger's, he's 45 at they are. they discovered a huge number of weapons, a large amount of ammunition, and 5 pipe bombs. so he was charged under federal rules for stockpiling. bond weapons and he was held in detention. and then on thursday, a 2nd michael jerry copeland was arrested. know both men face up to 20 years in prison for the fire arms charges, and also for the conspiracy charges. and the prosecutors alleged that both men contacted anti government groups in the hope that they would be able to enlist their support for the attacks. which of course never took place. both men have played not guilty to the charges as i say they could face up to 20 years in prison . but this all fits into medic, garland he is the attorney general of the united states. remember, it's just

a few weeks ago that he said that domestic terrorism is the biggest challenge facing the united states. and he promised that there would be more resources and more money headed in that direction to make sure that there were prosecutions for people. he believes a threat to the security of the united states. alan fisher in washington, thank you. me. the u. k. has reported the highest number of new covey cases in more than 6 months . they were close to $52000.00 new infections on friday. it comes days before the government relaxes, restrictions on english province, restaurants and nightclubs. jess, a day earlier, prime minister boys, johnson said, the worst of the panoramic would be behind the country. if people are careful. john hall has more from london. the public are generally quite worried about that, and that's because they can well see that it is highly questionable at this moment

how much freedom there is from the virus itself. infection rates are climbing rapidly this week, getting an average of around 50000 a day. the highest they've been in 6 months, the new health secretary says the java predicted they could easily hit a 100000 a day during the course of this 3rd way, most of those new infections, of course, are happening in the unvaccinated population. the young children, most of those are young and fit enough to emerge relatively unscathed, but not old death numbers are rising to averaging around 50 a day. that's a big jump in the last few weeks with the result that among the vaccinated population, among the vulnerable in that population, there is relying science about what lies ahead. 840000 school children have been sent home under similar circumstances with all the sort of attendant care issues that come with that. it's all having a huge impact on the economy. stop shortage is business is struggling to stay open factories warning that they may have to close. and all the while there is the

swirling concern among scientists building now advising the government. warning the government to change course 1200 scientists have given their support to a letter written to the lancet medical journal warning that the government strategy of allowing the virus to effectively run wild among the young and school children is quote, dangerous and unethical. and could allow for the emergence of vaccine resistant variance. and as such, they say is a danger to the whole world. professor, gabriel's county of the royal society of medicine says reopening could lead to more mutations of the virus. it's not a very good prospect. i think what is most concerning a lot of scientists and public health people is the fact that the government actually wants this to happen in many ways. they want to see a lot of cases know during the summer they want those hospital nations and those deaths to take place now rather than in the autumn in the winter because they think

the ultimate, the winter are going to be bad enough. and getting some of the infection out of the way know is a good thing. but most public health people say that's absolutely crazy that we shouldn't be encouraging the virus to spread. we shouldn't be letting that spread. and we certainly shouldn't be welcoming more cases, more hospitalization and more death are going to get more mutation taking place. but that has to happen. and if you get that happening in a country like the ok for about half of the population is vaccinated, you're actually giving an evolutionary advantage to variance that actually can bypass the immunity generated by vaccination. so there is a real worry that we may get more mutations and we may make it more dangerous mutations. cuban president miguel diaz canal says the united states has failed in what he says are its efforts to destroy cuba. over the last 3 cubans have taken to

the streets across the country in a wave of ran thai government protests. there is anger over the economy and the handling of the pandemic. the government of accused us of being behind the unrest un human rights body says, detain protest, this must be released. and thousands of people have been on the streets in florida, in fairly dire t miami's home to around a 1000000 cuban americans. and as the gala kerry ford many urging the us government to do more and support protests in cuba, among florida's large cuban american population, the rallying cry of free cuba has long been a call for democracy on the communist ro, an island following anti government protests in cuba, those calls growing as the exalt community across the us show support for cubans facing the worst economic crisis in decades. it doesn't matter whether you want to feel you went on or you are going. if you do inherited a lot of time, you wouldn't even know what's going on and you're not going to be able to hear. the

emotions are running so high in miami that some activists loaded up boats with supplies planning to make the treacherous journey across the florida. straits to cuba, the u. s. coast guard has warned against illegal crossings. the us secretary of homeland security ela 100 my yorkers fled cuba as a child. and warned those potentially planning to leave cuba not to come migrants who do attempt to enter the united states by sea. put their lives at incredible risk. the waters in the straits of florida in the caribbean are dangerous, especially now. as we have entered hurricane season, people who die miami's man francis suarez, is calling for military intervention, saying the u. s. has an obligation to stand with the people of cuba. they've shut down the internet. they've shut down electricity and they've gone out to the street

but the refrain here is the time to help is now to galaxy august era. miami, florida, france says military intervention in haiti is not on the agenda. despite the country requesting assistance, falling its presidents. assassination for us has also ruled on sending troops to haiti by the f. b. i is assisting with the investigation into the fatal shooting of president of anomaly earlier this month. authorities blame the killing on what they say is a unit of assassin from colombia and the us. now france, european union in the us, a calling on lebanese politicians to urgently form a cabinet after the prime minister designate quit thought hurry, these resignation has worse than the already struggling economic out. look with many uncertain how to make and meet and meet. then i hold every for some bit its rush hour in bay route, but one of lebanon's busiest transport points barely has any passengers arise and fuel prices. increased affairs,

a financial crisis means the majority of the population of this small nation is struggling to afford basic needs. more of the transportation allowance they used to be paid to workers was enough. it's not the case any longer. transportation costs increased by at least 4 times the lawson value of the local currency. the leader has affected purchasing power. it has lost nearly 95 percent of its worth in nearly 2 years. but in recent weeks, it has been in free fall, reaching a record low after lebanon. politicians reached a dead end and efforts to form a new government eastern, $1500.00. now my salary is worth $100.00 and they are in lira. we are always in debt. lebanon has been without the functioning government for nearly a year without one, an unprecedented economic meltdown can't be reversed. instead, rival politicians have been fighting for power, and prime minister designate saddle had eaten decision to step aside, complicates

a solution. this could be an open ended political crisis. heidi who is considered the leader of the muslim sunday community says he will not endorse a replacement. the post of prime minister is reserved for his community. that is why his support is important because power is shared among religious, that the state is nearly bankrupt. and this has affected many sectors, including health care and one aspect that is the issue of the stuff that are leaving in droves because of the financial pressures they're under. that is the shortages and medications and supplies and the issue of the fuel and the power cuts before the hospitals were excluded from the severe power cuts that the general population were under. but now the hospitals have been included in those spots. there are also shortages in medicine, as importers struggled to find hard currency and i did,

i can't find medicine for my blood pressure and heart problems. i go to bed at night, not knowing if i will wake up the next morning. but international calls are growing louder for lebanese leaders to form a reform minded government to deal with the collapse. but so far, the priority of the political class accused of years of corruption is clinging on to power. then they're also, you know, they route ah, this is al jazeera and these are headlines. 126 people have been confirmed dead and more than a 1000 are still missing in the flood of ravage. western europe, raging waters and lamb slides have devastated entire communities, washing away houses and destroying businesses. south africa, as president says, the week of violence and looting in which at least 212 people were killed, was plan been coordinated. serial run processes,
