stark's. this is from the u.s. president goes out west to celebrate the nation's. independence. day that's the record breaking rising by those places.

across the country. and. kids in mexico yeah well preserved remains of how people lived. more than 10000 years ago. welcome to the program u.s. president donald trump kicked off independence day celebrations at an event in the state of south dakota fireworks lit up the sky over the mount rushmore monument which moved. as the venue for this year's festivities in a divisive speech he criticized. as. history made reference to the. though his. speech came on a day the u.s.

another record. with more than $57000.00 new infections. all around the united states. have been. spread of the virus with experts calling on americans to practice social distancing at public and private gatherings not many celebrating the. last chance to enjoy an empty washington mall before the celebrations begin this is where a large crowds will cheer to fly overs and fireworks on america's national holiday the loudspeakers are ready for tens of thousands of visitors but not everyone here feels well about being among masses of people at the height of a global pandemic and makes me actually to be like around the crowd. so that's what i want to be. but i think i think it. you

know we will be able to celebrate the way. that we're going to try to make the most of it with you know family and friends that we've been kind of. this year the 4th of july will be a completely different holiday number one because a security fence was keeping people away from the white house for security reasons us were expecting many protests potentially riots on the 4th of july and later on saturday this is where the president will deliver his speech addressing the nation . at the black live smatter applause a t. shirt vendors are hoping for good business and a large turnout. man from our. independence. hall book liberties that we have achieved for over 200 years. and should apply to everyone and obviously this. demonstration for the problem not equal for everyone i

just hope that more and more people will wear doan's masks because that is so critical at this point. the holiday under strain by the pun demick and racial divisions this year not everyone feels like celebrating. with me now is brime gold he's director of surgery at southern california hospital brian thank you for joining us we've seen a dramatic rise in colon of us cases in obese and days should americans sit this weekend celebrations out absolutely. if we actually were more responsible we could have already slot in the curb but it's in america. being people stealing their very entitled to their rights able to do the things people would not be the smallest woman wearing masks. so this is really really

really. how does that make you feel as a medical professional presumably you've been dealing with a number of coronavirus cases in recent weeks. we've had an influx of patients we've converted rooms to now you know for sure and will need increased volume i filled out about it and again we were we're in the hospital i was the surgery we always were a mass what are the society big change for most of us who were in them outside. under way to and from want to find a way to market or a way about that's when you really need to wear it when you're around any people at all so i thought i've been very mouse for months freddy i just wish everyone else i've said try to lead by example it's the 4th of july and there's going to be massive celebrations at mount rushmore all tonight are you wanted to that this event could turn out to be a super spreader event. well hoping that everyone is responsible and wears

a mask is shouldn't be a big deal but again if people don't wear the masts there will be ins if people will be exchanging droplets and there will be a spike absolutely you already seen that you know other areas where people have ignored. the rules and these bikes are being reduced to just as knockdown measures are being used in the many states just speaking of countries many countries of all to move to bear destructions but still be unable to keep the virus in check what has gone wrong in the united states. he will have a say in it seriously and people are fed up in a lot of people just don't think it's a big deal well now that we have the biggest increase last couple days now people are like a lot maybe we should have well now better late than never again if everyone were to hunker down we could flatten this is about to announce 3 weeks wise words there

brian gold director of surgery at southern california hospital thank you so much for joining us. so much. after decades of war the pandemic just placing immense strain on medical facilities in afghanistan hospitals face acute shortages of medical oxygen and other supplies needed to battle the virus the country has recorded more than 32000 infections but the real number is thought to be much higher one expert doctor in germany is doing what he can to help colleagues back home. will suffer is speaking with a colleague in afghanistan they're discussing how to treat covert 1000 patients who suffer as an orthopedic surgeon who has worked at a hospital in the german state of carinthia since playing afghanistan in 1980 s. deeply worried about the effects of the pandemic in his home country he offers help to afghan doctors on line. 30 years of war has left deep wounds in

afghanistan over the years people who have money those who could would go to pakistan or india or now the borders are closed because of the coronavirus. you can see how bad the situation has become and help originally doctors there need training. recently. in kabul doctor hubby fatah has inundated with patients every day 80 percent of them are infected with covert 19. most often give him advice whenever he can via video link and fatah is grateful for the help. the usual concept that for how to. tailor patients many people have to be treated outdoors now the country is facing a new wave of infections officially only $700.00 people have died of the virus but each day more and more graves are being dug on the outskirts of kabul. for more

journalist david joins us now from kabul is ali give us a sense of how fost coronavirus is actually spreading in afghanistan. it's actually spreading very quickly i mean the official numbers say that there's only about 32000 people and affected with the illness but the truth is that because the quality of care isn't so good in the hospitals because they're overcrowded because there are hospitals that don't have proper drinking water so to to wash it on sanitizer a lot of people don't board the hospital to actually treat themselves at home so 'd the numbers are you know they're highly questionable i myself know so many people you know more than probably 23 dozen who have treated at home you know they don't hold all isolated and it doesn't offer. to do that so. where does the generally leave of gone his sons responds i mean as you also said

hospitals ovo been with but some statistics which is only 300 been tomatoes on reportedly for the entire country and only 2 labatt of trees in the country that can actually be processed just some pulls what is the government doing about this. the government is you know that's the question you know they receive hundreds of millions of dollars in aid and yet there are hospitals that don't have that don't have a hand sanitizer and it's not clean drinking water there's a lack of ventilators there's a lack of everything and this is really the question that people are asking is that you know what can they turn to if they don't feel safe in these hospitals speaking of safety of the 19 endemic strikes of gunnison at a time of continued cities between the guns 101 forces and other militants. opening with these double edged swords. so to speak of over 19 and a continued conflict. that's precisely the problem right is that people feel

trapped at home. and yet at the same time you know this was something that people used to say as they call well at these. you know the violence has sort of died down in the city. and you know as much as where we're suffering from the illness as much as we're stuck inside you know the city feel safer now what 'd we've seen is in the last month there have been several high profile attacks on mosques on human rights workers on a maternity clinic so it's really as you said a double edged sword where they don't feel safe going outside but they also don't necessarily feel safe in their own home because of the illness. speaking to us from kabul thank you very much for that. thank you thank you not to some of the other stories making news around the world brazil's president dr bolton auto has used his veto power to water down legislation requiring the wearing of face most the pope

and removed provisions that would have made mosques monday 3 in businesses and churches nationwide brazil has the world's 2nd most coronavirus infections and it's . south africa has reported its biggest daily increase in quarter nobody is infections with more than $9000.00 confirmed new cases that takes the country's total to just under 180000 its death toll now stands at more than 2900. at least 2 people are reported dead in japan as severe flooding and landslides hit the country's southwest tens of thousands have been evacuated and troops are being deployed for search and rescue operations to ensure the remains of full cost to continue until sunday. archeologists in mexico say they found some of the best preserved remains of human activity from more than 10000 years ago but they didn't just dig them up on a typical excavation site they've had to go underwater with divers to explore caves

in the yucatan peninsula that flooded by rising sea levels thousands of years ago. a labyrinth of flooded caves with extremely tight passages and rough rock formations rising seas filled them with water thousands of years ago but even before then these caves would have been dangerous to go into over the last 15 years archaeologists have been finding signs of human life deep inside the caves gave up fire pits stone tools and human bones. what's really remarkable about this site is preservation this is incredibly rare in archaeology to find evidence for human activity that's. this well preserved. why were people venturing into such unwelcoming places the recent discovery of an oak

a mine in the caves provides a clue or a pigment derives from clay given yellows and reds was prized by early peoples in the americas it was used for things like cave paintings and burial ceremonies. archeologists believe that color was so precious that 12000 years ago people were willing to brave the dangerous maze of caverns just to get a hold of it. this is. the top story this u.s. president. says he.

can see. on the brink of disaster. and experts about one question has really changed.
