8:08 am
a nearby coffee shop not one customer inside was wearing one i haven't found this discarded mask on my way to work well we're not trying to be the coded 1000 mask police i point all this out because as florida continues to see a surge in new covert 1000 cases with miami consistently posting the highest numbers in the state the seemingly lax attitude among some is raising concerns about florida becoming the next epicenter for the virus people getting way too comfortable with the warning. stores restaurants and also not following social distancing even their own earlier this week some theme parks movie theaters and even strip clubs are allowed to reopen they're all part of the latest phase allowing entertained venues to restrict their businesses on thursday june 18th the state of florida reported 3300 new cases setting a single day record since the pandemic began here in florida local and state officials say more aggressive testing of more people is one reason for the higher numbers expected anyway once the states started reopening florida governor rhonda

8:10 am
a number if the politicians want it they could have avoided it but nobody cared it's your political will the president shows a lack of commitment to combat it he was going out without a mask greeting people meeting crowds i think he is the main person responsible for this situation or president has been heavily criticized for months over his response to the crisis see initially described the disease as a little flu that no national law was needed but scenarios clashed with state governors and mayors who tried to bring in restrictions and shut major cities the government's approach has also led to the resignation of 2 health ministers along the way. one high profile victim has died from corona virus one of brazil's best only digitas defenders of the amazon rain forest. and was the chief of brazil's indigenous people he came to fame back in the 1980s for fighting then against the
8:11 am
construction of one of the world's largest dams he also helped lead a campaign for the creation of large reserves in the amazon for indigenous populations at the same time to expel illegal mining and logging from those areas but in $198.00 a twist he was convicted of rape of a white student and sentenced to 6 years in prison he strongly denied the allegation and his allies along the way insisted the claim was fabricated to undermine his growing political influence. the bigger picture brazil's amazon region has been hit hard by the pandemic with underfunded hospitals and access the tories lee difficult in the more remote areas more than 4 and a half 1000 indigenous people are known to have been infected $275.00 have died troublingly 2 mortality among aboriginal communities is twice the national rate the government says it is planning to spend over $900000000.00 to better protect traditional communities we've been hearing about the specific problems those citizens face. well why is it was we do not have high quality and adequate

humanity will disappear. almost all the grim news a better happier news maybe better news from britain to report to you were medical chiefs are advising lowering the country's coronavirus alert level no from 4 to 3 in practice that means there could be a further gradual relaxation of restrictions as transmission of the virus is no longer thought to be high or rising exponentially a survey alongside that those are just the doctors' confidence in the government's handling of the bridge is still slipping in april 35 percent of g p's in england thought negatively of the government's response but this month the number surged to 60 percent g.p. . gave us his view. for all my feeling is that the responses is not it's been very good at school and there has been very little interest in the welfare of frontline clinicians it's my feeling that there was a manipulation of various guidelines and that it's we use substandard p.p.
8:14 am
for example and i was very disappointed about how the government's and creates a sense of the reanimated and the risk that it's the black asian minority nets and a risk roofie. it's also a play that sad mad time comes comments about watching that kind of language to a clinician challenging him in parliament that summarizes in my view what the government wants which is essentially a kind of blind to beat ins which can effectively cost you your life. and i am not alone in having lost a great deal of faith in him. is just an absolute moscow told coming up to rather get that right now up ahead china protests and in there after a deadly skirmish ignited decades of simmering tension over a disputed border and a worry about where it could go next where across it when we're back.
