Hard-hit Brazil removes data amid rising death toll
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-52952686

Bolsonaro said the cumulative data did not reflect the current picture.
Brazil has the world's second-highest number of cases, and has recently had more new deaths than any other nation.
The Latin American country has more than 640,000 confirmed infections...

I guess Bolsonaro thinks it's bad for business to divulge the total death toll. It's not like people couldn't add a + b anyway. Plus it IS the third country with the highest count of confirmed cases now.

A rally by Italian far-right extremists and hardcore football fans over the government's response to coronavirus has turned briefly violent.
The clashes in the centre of the capital, Rome, started after a fight between demonstrators.
Hundreds marched to call on the government to resign over its handling of the crisis and the damage wrought on the economy and jobs.

Conte thinks speeding up social payments and some unknown tax reform will solve those issues. Right...

The health system in Mumbai is on the verge of collapse while hospitals in the capital, Delhi, are reportedly running out of space.
Meanwhile, shopping centres, places of worship, restaurants and offices will be allowed to reopen from Monday.

So their answer is as simple as easing the lockdown even if there's an important surge in cases... Do they even care about their people?

Bill Gates Has Become the Target of Conspiracy Theories
https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-52833706
After people rediscovered his TED speech, they came out with all sorts of theories on how he's related to either or killing Africans with test vaccines, among many other crazy ideas. I wonder what Republicans think about those theories.
They also mentioned that George Soros, Koch brothers, the Rothchilds and the Rockefellers previous targets of such conspiracies. For instance, people claimed the Rothchilds are some renegade faction of the twelve tribes of Israel, and some would even dare to link them to Moabites or Amalekites or even Esau (Edom) himself.
By the way, did you know that Herodes (any of them) might have been Edomites? You see, he was the king of Idumea, apparently it's the Latin term for Edom. And they hate Israel even nowadays, call them Arabs or Palestinian if you wish.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52947056

US President Donald Trump has approved a plan to withdraw 9,500 American troops from bases in Germany by September, US media say.
Mr Trump, who has long complained that European members of Nato should spend more on their own defense, reportedly wants US troop levels capped at 25,000.
Troops would either be redeployed elsewhere or return home, US media report, citing a government official.

CDU, one of Germany's strongest parties, is concerned about Trump's move. I personally think he should not show Russia such signals, they could think USA has been weakened by !

Afghans condemn Iran police after refugees die in car fire

The deaths of three Afghan refugees in a car fire in Iran has prompted an outpouring of anger towards police there, after it emerged the blaze began when officers shot at the vehicle.
Another four were injured, including a boy seen begging "Give me some water, I am burning" in video of the incident.

I guess that out of desperation, they failed to foresee Iran wasn't a good place to hide. Refuge? Not while the ayatollah is in charge!
You don't believe me!?

Iran blocking sites access, UN nuclear watchdog says
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-52941982

The UN nuclear watchdog has expressed serious concern at Iran's continuing failure to allow access to sites the agency wants to visit.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) says that for more than four months Iran has been blocking inspections of two suspect locations.
The IAEA says Iran's enriched uranium stockpile now exceeds the agreed limit.

I don't understand why EU doesn't punish Iran for disrespecting IAEA. Still, they complained about USA pulling out of that ridiculous agreement that served no real purpose so far.
