power 2 years ahead of the presidential elections and he also recently reshuffled his key. cabinet but that reshuffle is not going down very well with everybody especially when it comes to the appointment of justice minister it diplomatic t. and interior minister donna here's my report from paris was these protesters are carrying gender equality symbolically to its growth. was they say the 2 recent appointments deal a death blow to the promise president in monaco made when you came to power 3 years ago. if a starbucks. is accused of having raped a woman in 2009 disappointment is it insulting to all women who are victims of sexual violence and to perm what he has said women like being whistled at in the street to what extent can you not listen to victimise this is a scandal it's called that it. i'm scared if i were
12:05 pm
a victim of sexual violence one day i would have to turn to institutions run by sexist people who are accused of rape and the urge to watch to do direct. the point of star lawyer is a good formula ts justice minister is also causing a stir amongst magistrates they don't feel he's on their side did in the classroom hear from the men in my quad images disappointment is like a declaration of war by a man on the call as a lawyer diplomat i t. has time and again been contentious towards magistrates judges and prosecutors and there is a high risk of conflict of interest as law firm is involved in many high profile cases for example the now former justice minister just launched another inquiry into his latest case. will receive the results of that inquiry although he's also the lawyer pressing charges of the plant. the government is trying to calm the waves after all the point of a t's appointment was supposed to give mark or new shine after 3 years of controversial reforms unlike in other countries the coronavirus crisis has hardly

12:07 pm
well according to the government this is a historical package he's pumping 8000000000 years into the health care sector but and some unions say this is a great start as a great thing great news but there are other unions who don't agree they're planning a demonstration this afternoon they say you know. the government is giving a pay rise about 200 years to nurses but he should be giving 300 years the government is creating $15000.00 new jobs but they're asking 410-0000 jobs and they're asking for more incentives into incentives for young doctors to go and work at the head hospital because working conditions there are just not good enough not so so this these plans are not going down very well with everybody everybody agrees that it is enough to get francis a slightly sluggish health sector back on track so give us a brief update is the situation with a pandemic in france at the moment well the situation was rather calm at the
12:08 pm
numbers infections wasn't going up the number of deaths per day was staying between 10 and 30 and the number of people in intensive it was also going down but since a few days ago that has slightly changed the number of countries contaminations is going up and there is some concern that the epidemic might be picking up again so people are talking about maybe introducing an obligation to wear face masks in public spaces inside and there's certainly a lot of concern that a 2nd wave might be coming in france lisa lewis reporting from the bus today so the versions in paris thank you lisa. and now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world today the u.k. appears poised to ban was away from its 5 g. networks according to government sources the government plans to tell phone companies to phase out existing equipment due to data security fears. police in southern california say a body found in

a lake has been identified as the missing actress rivera who went missing last week 33 year old is believed to have drowned after renting a boat with her 4 year old son he was found safe in the vessel there are stars in 6 seasons of the musical comedy glee. the u.s. supreme court has cleared the way for the 1st executions of federal prisoners in 17 years some executions were delayed after a judge ruled on monday that there were still unresolved legal challenges against the justice department the trump ministrations says the return to executions was in the interest of the victims. california's governor is ordering thousands of businesses to shut down after briefly reopening includes restaurants bars and places of worship across america's most populous state that decision comes after a new surgeon reported covert 19 cases across a number of u.s. states large metro areas in california including los angeles and san francisco
12:10 pm
among those affected. back to square one california shuts down most of its public life for the 2nd time back in march it was the 1st us state to impose a strict stay at home order even closing down its beaches parks and campsites but now that more is known about how the virus is transmitted the state has shifted its policy allowing outdoor activities to continue while closing most indoor facilities today we are announcing additional statewide actions as a relates to our stay at home order here in the state of california we are now effectively rather affective today requiring all counties to close their indoor act to ease their indoor operations the governor is acting on the fact that nuke over 1000 cases in the state have surpassed 8000 a day more than twice as many as a month ago this could soon overburden hospitals in rural parts of california
12:11 pm
beyond bars and restaurants the governor has also called for the closing of gyms hair salons churches and non-essential workplaces in most counties but even those lucky enough to work in an area where businesses like these remain open don't know for how long. if we don't make no no money to pay the rent the leno show for $2.00 so everybody has a problem. and then also we don't have any income and then the family family the problem to me with more than 7500000 californians already filing for unemployment benefits since the pandemic hit the latest sat down could mean the final blow for countless livelihoods. so what's driving this surge in new cases that's from to california to shut down yet again a little earlier we put that question to my dear old he's a journalist r.-o.
12:12 pm
radio in santa rosa. around the state are feeling great concern right now in many of the hospitals scalp in california are seeing adequate capacity right now but that uptick in both deaths and new cases is simply just isn't good the death toll right now over 7000 number of corona virus cases over 300000 something had to factor in that 2 week time period when some of these new cases start becoming new hospitalizations and this is all in a state that was considered to have flattened her just weeks ago all of this factored into the governor's surprise announcement today to roll back many of the reopening siddur already happened around the state there's a number of things at play here in california so california was the 1st state to institute a shutdown back in march so to that end there's some mountain cabin fever and californians they've been cooped up for months now we're getting into the summer weather people want to get out they want to see their friends go to the beach go to eat a lot of that's what's driving the surge in new cases especially among young people at the same time you have parts of rural california that see what the governor's
12:13 pm
doing as an overreach and you may not see the same safety measures that are being taken elsewhere in the state you factor both these things together and what's really driving the surge in cases right now. let's have a look at some of the other main developments in the global corona crisis the world health organization as want that the covert 900 pandemic well worsen if countries fail to follow strict health care precautions its chief war there will be no return to the old normal for the foreseeable future the u.s. government says drugmakers it that it has partnered with are on track to begin actively manufacturing a vaccine by the end of the summer and health experts say the u.k. faces a potentially more deadly 2nd wave of corona virus infections this winter in the worst case scenario 120000 people could die over 9 months. within the past 4 days coronavirus cases in india have spiked to more than 300000
12:14 pm
active infections the crisis has also left millions of people out of work after months of national lockdown it was only in june looking to fill the gap and the official response a pair of 16 year old twins has come up with a rather clever idea to deliver much needed food and medicine how many of the group . that would never leave. the local. one. share count how ari and her twin sister a c's get a dozen calls per day the girls have set up a telephone helpline in delhi they use it to distribute food and medicine the coronavirus pandemic has plunged hundreds of thousands of indians into joblessness and poverty. and when the lockdown started there were so many people out there who had lost their jobs their income and then even have enough money or resources to get the most basic necessities like food or medicine and we were so done tweeting.
12:15 pm
and asking the authorities to take action so we thought we'd create this helpline. many people come to this barrier fence word has spread that they can get help here i mean i'm only has 3 children they were fit in school until the school closed due to the pandemic her husband lost his job and she did too. laugh and i've had no job for 4 months nobody needs us not even for a little odd jobs. the twins mother helps finance the initiative as 6 they say that good doing works is important to them. and you know in my religion we always put aside money to spend for charity and one of the most prizes or any of my generation the giving my parents and they've ever seen. the twins mother also brings food medicine and masks to delhi's outlying districts. cans of

12:18 pm
right now are individual states they are trying to implement what you can call mini lock downs in certain particular areas there let's say some event was organized where there was a gathering or a surge was not just suddenly for the weekend or a couple of these the organize these many knockdowns if you look at the case of delhi delhi became the left hit city in the country but after it was evident that there is a me just in case as in the city the border tension and the state governments struggling to action and the dude implemented some immediate good measures and now what we are seeing a reporter saying that there is a very good on and on in delhi situation that our recovery rates have actually improved a lot but overall yes we do have a lot of number of is said and our health care infrastructure are not completely adequate to do that that's a big such a many other more of these kinds of self-help initiatives where people are working together when the government come or just won't help. there are many actually once
