following the rules well most people at this mall were wearing masks as required at 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 are getting way too comfortable. stores and restaurants 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

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 present job all scenarios been heavily criticized for months over his response to the crisis initially described the disease as a little flu and that no national law was needed both scenarios clashed with state governors and mayors who tried themselves to bring in destructions and shut down major cities the government's approach has also led to the resignation along the way of 2 health ministers so far. and one high profile victim has died from corona virus one of brazil's best known indigenous defenders of the amazon rain forest police can was the chief of brazil's indigenous people he came to fame back of the

amazon is the lungs of the planet if the amazon disappears we will also disappear humanity will disappear. out of the glue we knew just a little bit of better for britain with medical chiefs revising lowering the country's coronavirus alert level from 4 to 3 in practical terms that means there could be a further gradual relaxation of restrictions there as transmission of the virus is no longer thought to be high or rising exponentially the survey alongside that those suggest doctors' confidence in the government's handling of the break instead least lipping in april 35 percent of g.d.p. to england for negatively of the government's response but this month the number surged to 60 percent one g.p. gave us his view. for all my feeling is that the response is not has 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 as we. stand p.p.

the most populous countries in the world are once again locked in battle over 2100 mile long border but monday marked the 1st deadly clash in decades into the last 20 soldiers while china's losses remain unclear so how did it come to this well in 1914 with india still under british rule chief negotiator said we must come on to a line on a map and named it after himself into a accepted. china didn't those who indiscriminately took to him up with a ruler never gave it a 2nd thought leaving these 2 countries to grapple with a conflict that continues to this day monday's events will undoubtedly be obsessed with interest by the pool which is also looking to write a historical wrong at the hands of the brits just days ago and thought it updated its mop laying claim to 3 new previously indian territories every tour and what
