Its not only about the number of deaths is about the number of infections in the last 24 hours theres been the run 2400. 00 new infections similar to the numbers we saw at the peak of the crisis which has raised some concerns about a possible 2nd wave president rouhani came out and want to lock down measures could be reimposed if people continue not to abide by the Health Ministry measures now thats after the Health Minister reported that those abiding by those measures had decreased from 80 percent to 20 percent and now we have seen an increase in number of infected cases but iran is in a difficult position going into this crisis. It was around 41 percent there was a rise in unemployment and according to the International Monetary fund the economy had shrunk in the last 2 years but theres also the issue of the United States sanctions against iran that has drastically reduced its oil revenues so any decision to really pose lockdown measures considering the state of the economy will be very difficult and will be taken reluctantly by the government but president rouhani has said that in the last 2 years this country has faced some of the toughest sanctions but according to him iran has done much better than some of the European Countries china has reported its highest a number of new current virus infections for 2 months more than half of the 57. 00 cases when beijing where part of the city has been placed under lockdown after an outbreak in a food market it sparked fears of a 2nd wave of infections reports hong kong.

Beijing downgraded its Emergency Response level only a week ago easing restrictions on Wearing Masks and having temperature checks this latest cluster is raising concerns due to parallels with rouhani city where the virus was 1st discovered last year it too started at a market and led to months of lockdown and until china said it had overcome the outbreak in march the hope is that that declaration was and premature if you go pollen allergies there are hong kong in the u. S. Many states are recording record numbers of new covert 900 cases and hospitalizations california florida and oklahoma where trump plans to hope to hold an indoor rally next saturday all had record numbers of new infections in the past 3 days the spikes are in part due to a significant increase in testing over the past 6 weeks. Is professor of epidemiology at Columbia University and she joins us on skype from new york thank you so much for joining us looking at the number of new infections coming out of india and pakistan where would you estimate they are in there at the moment well unfortunately for both india and pakistan it looks like theyre on the upswing and theyre good with 19 and this is going to easy. Strong mitigation measures a good draw measures that were in peace that recently a little bit. Its not its not unexpected that if you do that you will see a resurgence of the virus again. And 2472 new infections in iran are we seeing a 2nd wave there. It certainly seems like that is where our again for similar reasons to iran and pakistan to pakistan and india. Are so has recently ease the restrictions and largely in many of these countries this is due to economic imperatives because of the difficulty of sustaining a strong medication measures for people who are largely have to depend on the labor to survive and its not an expected again because of thats easy and people not being vigilant in germs of keeping their distance seen as well as in wearing face masks or face coverings its not unexpected that again the surgeons as were seeing it in our minds well and in the u. S. Where you are another 25000 cases partly due to increased testing but could it also be due to some of the black lives matter protests that weve been seeing. In the u. S. Over the past several weeks weve seen we havent seen overall a decrease in them because of cases theres been a decrease in some states like new york state for example and new jersey and massachusetts voted seeing time theres an army increase in other states and those have been states where theyve also ease the restrictions are midi a bit prematurely so why are there curbs were also on the upswing so its a mixture of increasing testing in mixture of people getting together whether the in protests or other events as well as the easing of the restrictions that happened over the past several weeks in the states and what about what were seeing in china a new cluster of cases how worrying is that do you think we could be seeing more of those in the coming weeks. Yes i think you have to keep in mind that. We have no means now of eradicating the virus completely even though we can control of the transmission there were mean and the risks of these embers that. Can lift can be lit up at a moments notice and i think thats what were seeing in china it doesnt take very much to have a cluster of like the large cluster of the has that identify in in china to again a pop up and i think thats going to be unfortunately the way of the future until we have an effective vaccine that everybodys willing to take. But i think whats important and the lesson to be learned is that if you have such a cluster you have to move fast you have to immediately move the lies and the reporters from china and womanize quickly identify the pieces and then the find the contacts isolate the case of the client in the contacts and do everything we can possibly do to limit the size of the cluster as quickly as possible and cases here in europe are rapidly declining but obviously as weve reported seem to be on the rise in age and south america where do you anticipate the next hot spot will be after those continents. Well i think now were seeing sooty hotspots in south america theres been a great concern about whats happening in brazil whats happening in chile where. Mexico are these countries are experiencing a very steep rise in the pacific. And also in in a way that has overwhelmed the house just in those countries so we hear. Individuals who cannot find a hospital bed as a situation where theyre not enough ventilators very sick patients so i think the situation in several countries in south america and mexico is jerry very concerning at this point.

He was reported to police because his car was blocking the fast food drive thru in atlanta on friday night i take a deep breath but im out of the mouthpiece was hard to get up to stop after a breathalyzer test police said he wasnt sober to drive and it tempted to arrest him. The 27 year old father of 3 appears to have resisted arrest and Police Allege brooks told a taser gun and pointed it at them as he ran away away from the cameras 3 gunshots are heard. Other videos show the body of brooks on the ground before he was taken to hospital where his death was confirmed it was the Immediate Reaction to his death as protesters on friday evening continued on to saturday near the scene of the shooting ever have gotten word from the Fast Food Restaurant was set on fire by protesters demanding answers i dont know how to get his. Son never knew i was going to lose. Ill bust this on the internet. From the whole just floored situation to us coming together like clothes on. And this whole dying man on the i dont stop on the phone following an outcry over the use of deadly force the citys chief of police erica shields offered her resignation at lanas mayor keesha lance bottoms accepted calling the Police Action unnecessary i firmly believe that there is a clear distinction between what you can do and what you should do i do not believe that this was a justify use of deadly force and have called for the media term a nation of the officer.

Well charlie in the last hour or so 2 large civil Rights Groups in the city of atlanta of called the firing of the chief of police and the officer who discharged his weapon at mr brooks nothing short of symbolism they say doesnt go far enough they want to see real reform and change and it certainly hasnt calm the mood in the city of atlanta where there are more protests planned for monday and there are politicians out on the streets now mostly democrats saying that the police need to deescalate they need to stop firing tear gas and rubber bullets at crowds some of them saying children were among those protesting the death of rae sharjah brooks on friday night so its clear that what happened is not calming the mood and remember 2 weeks ago there was a pretty horrific incident in which 6 Atlanta Police officers dragged 2 students from their car after slashing tires and smashing windows they then tasered both those students and 4 of those officers were fired all 6 are now facing charges and that didnt calm the mood either that is because protesters believe that this is demick racism within the police force is not being tackled despite the fact that across the country there is some reform going on many Police Forces are now banning chokeholds new York Police Department saying that they will make records public of officers who fired disciplinary problems but none of this goes far enough for those on the ground those angry after years and decades and if you listen to some of them 400 years of the oppression of people of color so how is this latest incident going to impact the nationwide debate on policing and accountability. I think what happened on friday night will make people more determined to keep going to keep getting out onto the streets to keep making their voices heard to keep calling for reform of course President Donald Trump has talked about putting an executive order together for Police Reform where he will suggest to Police Forces that they no longer carry out these chokeholds and the use of weapons and deadly force when perhaps it is not necessarily that certainly what protesters think but none of this goes far enough the reforms that we are seeing are reforms that stop people or Police Officers carrying out certain procedures but they dont tackle the systemic racism that is present in the United States Police Forces so process in los angeles as were seeing now are large they getting larger these people are getting more vocal and with 3 weeks since george floyd died in minneapolis after an officer knelt on his neck for close to 9 minutes and he got i thank you for that update from miami more studies have been targeted by anti racism protesters with several torn down or defaced over the weekend crowds in new orleans that removed the bust of slave owner John Mcdonogh and throw it into the Mississippi River and in milan the statue of famed Italian Journalist in the room antonelli was smeared in red paint and write and defended colonialism and in the 1930 s.

A community in a tower who had raised questions about safety in that were not listened to and one of the main reasons we would archaeal i would argue that they werent listened to was because of institutional racism because of the demographic they were largely a muslim they were largely black they were working Class Community and they were not taken seriously the pace of reform has also been slow at ensuring this cant happen again as many as 2000 buildings are said still to bear the flammable cladding that allowed the ground fell flames to whip up the side of the building and rage out of control with as many as 56000 building residents living at daily risk grunfeld tower and coronavirus have more in common besides lives from very different backgrounds in one of londons most multicultural settings imperiled then and in turmoil once more.

Is facing increasing criticism over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic brazil has just reported another 612 deaths in the last day now has the 2nd highest number of covert 19 deaths worldwide at more than 43000 but despite the rapidly rising number of deaths and infections he maintains the country should be opened back up. Meanwhile his supporters have turned out in the capital brasilia to give him their backing pro and antigovernment rallies have intensified in recent weeks as Brazils Health crisis has merged with the political crisis so lets get more from to reason both he joins us from buenos aires trees are there been several protests in brazil bring us up to date. Well thousands of people took to the streets this sunday in an avenue that thats right in the center of brazils Financial Capital mostly they were asking for precedent it will turn out as resignation saying that hes been mishandling the whole situation with the pandemic that hes responsible for the massive loss of life there was also people carrying banners with them saying black lives matters they were denouncing the amount of people that have been dying at the hands of Security Forces most of them are black and poor and they live in some of the countrys favelas mostly rio theres an aide to human Rights Groups have said that since was when i took office the amount of people dying in 55. 00 a less employees rates has greatly increased and the last demand of this people on the streets and so probably that were basically saying that the extreme we warned about brazils democracy about this confrontation that exists today between breasted and joey towards the maddow and the Supreme Court and congress and thats why on saturday night supporters of joe youve also got a went right outside the Supreme Court in brazilia and they started throwing fireworks this has generated that the governor of the Federal District asked to close down the whole area where the Supreme Court is the president ial palaces among others many in brazil feel that the country is completely adrift with the amount of people dying every day the amount of infections increasing every day and thats as subtly her its also not as popular. So either the death toll continues to rise some brazilian cities are continuing to ease their restrictions would have been the consequences. Well from the very beginning in brazil theres been this tension between president ially towards or not oh who was opposing any type of lockdown because he was saying that the economy in the country should be prioritized and imposing lockdowns in fact he clashed with the governor of south paolo for the governor of religion 80 who wanted to impose lockdowns at that time in the past few weeks we have seen this governors in the past few days im sorry we have seen these governors easing up this type of restriction some Shopping Centers and businesses have started to open up but of course this has increased the amount of people that are getting infected in brazil in fact the latest high profile figure that acknowledge being infected by covert 1000 is the mayor of. New york to use after to make a few tests today which an artist opposed to 19 coronavirus doctors acknowledged since he had no symptoms is to stay at home be able to continue to meet on long entry the intimate ill be able to continue working but from home the expectation is that i will be here if the next 10 days. Well and tension has been on the rise in brazil and mostly between the precedents and brazils institutions the Supreme Court the latest thing the president said is he asked his supporters to goes inside the hospitals where people are being treated and to film and take pictures of the intensive care units and see whether those areas are completely full because hes afraid that opposition governors may be trying to inflate the number the figures of the amount of people that are being infected so desperate there is lots of tensions in brazil these days and as the number of the death toll continues to rise most experts say that the only way to preserve life to prevent further loss of life to reimpose i lucked out in brazils major cities tourism reporting live for us from what is sars thank you.
