2:11 am
haven't been protected enough we have a shortage of equipment and that's why we failed those who got infected nothing left is clearly staking her claim to run in france's next presidential election in 2022 however many of the accusations and the complaints in this book. you reflect real concerns that i felt by the french public so details may not see. the daughters tribute to a late father who died last month from covert now supposed to come paying for a change in america's health system in a big cheery she calls a politician's for a lack of leadership accusing them of jeopardizing lives especially among people of color who are more likely to die from the virus now she's gathering the stories of similarly affected families to push for pressure and reduce deaths but at work i woke at june 11th with cough and
2:12 am
a few ver and just wasn't feeling well he had really bad exhaustion unlike you've ever had before and my mom called me to tell me why it was going on and i told her mom i sounds like he has coronavirus pts at least the symptoms are so we had work to get him scheduled for a tast the next day which he got that test but we never got those test results back because he had to be taken to the hospital because his condition got worse before his test results were back and then when he was admitted to the hospital is when we officially learned that he was tested positive for coronavirus luckily when he 1st got to the hospital though you know he was responding. well to the treatment oxygen and he had a couple of convalescent plasma treatments. early on and was on antibiotics
2:13 am
you know he was in a normal room for about 10 days before he suddenly took a turn for the worse and had to be taken to the i.c.u. and put on it then later and shortly thereafter he passed away the doctors were. you know completely shocked that he had just do to reread it so quickly you know it was a shock obviously to me as well especially given my dad's attitude and not just a few days before he had been saying you know when i'm excited to come home on monday and that would have been 29 june and he actually ended up passing away on june 30th in a lot of years papers what we're talking to kristen there the united states recorded 1465 new deaths that's the highest daily increase since late may in total coronavirus has claimed more than 150000 american lives if you work that out it means that roughly every minute another person dies from covert 19 in the
2:14 am
united states as for the state of arizona where christine late father of from thursday it recorded 172 new deaths from coronavirus that's a single day record there the state governor those convinced everything is heading in the right direction and that emergency rooms are seeing a downward trend in patients with covert symptoms but for kristen focus on the statistics is part of the problem. the trumpet ministration has been downplaying the severity of the price crisis since day one they haven't been doing their jobs who have a quarter needed response to minimize risk while still preserving the economy they've been driving home that's also a narrative that you have to pick one or the other and that's simply not true oh it's you know morally you know not correct at all. just you know forget that there are real people behind that number as you know i was thinking about this yesterday as i was reflecting upon the numbers and today marks
2:15 am
the one month anniversary of my father's passing in king about there's one 149999 of their people families out there that are feeling what i feel and we are currently in a situation where countless others are about to feel the way that i feel. it's not fair to them only good morning to rush oh we're if you'll shoot into our 2 international from around the world one of kevin owen coming up the russians did say you didn't buy the rooster on suspicion of terrorism the russian ambassador claims they were only there because they missed their flights well we've got the latest developments on it and more after this break.
2:17 am
you cannot be both with the yeah you're right. again developments next over the group of 33 russians detained in belarus recently suspected there of being mercenaries who were planning terrorism let's get you up to speed on that because asians in the latest reactions between moscow she's done the locals across this one it's complicated what's going on take us through it certainly an interesting story but a russian news source is 1st began reporting on this on wednesday but a russian state security forces the k.g.b. alongside police arrested 32 russian nationals at a sign up for him just outside the capital minsk with the 33rd national arrested in the south of the country a little while later now they apparently arrived in the country on the 25th they spent 2 days there near the capital before being detained on the 29th and they
2:18 am
stand accused of being members of the so-called wagner group allegedly a private military company that sends russian fighters abroad at the behest of the government the police and butter of said the group was acting suspiciously they had strange baggage they were wearing camouflage military style fatigues all very uncharacteristic of tourists and the accusations against them are also very serious they stand accused of allegedly plotting terrorist acts of destabilizing the situation in the country and security forces say they're looking for dozens more of these alleged mercenaries they say again. around $200.00 arrived in the country this is just a small fraction of them now this of course comes at a time of political tension in the country the russian ambassador to britain. has responded to that to the allegations saying there was nothing nefarious about the russian nationals presence in the country they were on their way to a 3rd point to
2:19 am
a transit through a transit route they had all the necessary documentation including travel documents and confirm reports suggest they were working for a private company providing protection for energy assets abroad and they had their work contracts to prove that information they had no intention apparently of staying in but this is what he had to say. the russians who arrived at the bill research dissonant taurine and minsk was forced to do this due to the fact that they missed their flight from the national airport to a group publix capital heading in transit to country now this comes as we said at the time of political tension in belarus the presidential election is around a week away the president. has faced one of his toughest election runs in his many years in charge there have been opposition rallies across the country he's been very clear warning against any provocations and also warning
2:20 am
against interference in the country and calling up russia apparently for being caught red handed. you need to address the russian mass media and also the not to say nonsense if you are guilty you need to get out of this situation with dignity not guilty good we have no goals to discredit the country close to us and almost all this to and fro this war of words the russian side the russian ambassador has called for an end to ground of speculation in the media and a joint investigation to resolve this incident which is so far caused quite a bit of diplomatic strain. yet has in the bring us up to date if you get more to come back to us. later this morning thank you. there is doesn't take much for donald trump to fire up internet indignation who usually monitors the job while on thursday he floated the idea that the november presidential election should be delayed he's worried about mail in voting which he claims without much evidence
2:21 am
will lead to fraudulent results because critics say it's because the system means you lose the president can't actually delay the election in practice the date since trying to the constitution and congress would have the final say on it we must take president trump's attempt to undermine the faith in our republic seriously this is what authoritarians do if democrats lose the 2020 election trump will not allow a free and fair election again over the past 20 years there's been a point 00006 percent cases of fraud in all mail and ballots cast in presidential elections from wants to delay the election because he knows he has a point 00006 percent chance of winning donald trump doesn't have the authority to do this but that doesn't make what he's doing any less dangerous it's clear he will stop at nothing to spread misinformation and so division to distract from the mass he's created this is what we're up against. well to date no u.s.
2:22 am
presidential elections ever been council to spode even during the civil war the 2nd world war as for a mail in vote which trump claims is flawed the coronavirus pandemics expected to see a record number of americans turned to voting by mail so they can adhere to the social distancing policies its proponents say it's no more susceptible to 4 than any other voting method american journalist analyser spoke to us about it he thinks the upcoming election is bound to see allegations of fraud from both sides of the political divide. seems clear that he's trying to deal with jeremiah's the elections and that's very important trump has already in asia already said he will not commit to abiding by the results and he regards the mail in ballots as fraudulent which could allow him to mount a challenge. actions are held and the vote count in starts so there 'd will probably probably be at the very least chaos on election day and for weeks after
2:23 am
the democrats the republicans are going to try are going to cry fraud and the democrats are going to blame russia if they lose and the republicans who are parents were to blame the democrats and fraudulent voting so this is not going to be a normal election the american electoral process is falling apart. old leaders are usually averse to be immortalized in art but the impact of israeli prime minister is none too happy at the moment of the new take on one of the old masters as pulis later found out. divin she's a last supper when a song is masterpiece that's iconic revered and a symbol of tested loyalties and devotion but a 2020 interpretation here in tel aviv takes on a very different symbolism it depicts prime minister benjamin netanyahu alone at a table adorned by cigars champagne and cognac sculpted it-i is a lot explains what's behind it whether you have the prime minister of israel
