Brazil has some of the highest number of reported deaths and infections in the world but experts say a lack of testing means there could be many more. Brazils Health Minister has stepped down after just weeks in the job the 2nd minister to go so the pandemic began preston job also now has a postwar towns and wants to reopen a corner soon even though the disease that hes called a little slow is taking many lives and causing much hardship. Aljazeera. Well given 1000 is also spreading from the city of man hours deeper into vulnerable indigenous communities in the brazilian amazon tribe members say people are getting sick and dying on these reserves without Proper Health care people who live on the 2 rivers that merge to form amazon have been trying to protect their reserves from the virus theyve been pleading for donations water waiting government deliveries of food the few medical workers in the indigenous areas lack any sort of protective equipment. Lets talk more about all this so with all of us to go hes an associate professor at the f. T. V. Foundation in sao paolo joins us live via skype thank you very much for being with us so often our has faced criticism for his response on the virus and yet weve seen his supporters out in force for him in general aside from those vocal supporters just whats the perception of how hes handled this pandemic in the months the Wider Population well in general his Approval Ratings have gone down quite a bit hes initially looked towards the United States as an example he has continuously minimized the threat and now he realizes that because this will have a negative impact on the economy hes choosing to distance himself from those measures which he believes or would you will blame for the economic crisis which is to come so basically a strategy is to blame the governors the mayors the Health Care Establishment and he wants to be the president of the reopening but that has led moderates supporters to abandon the president his Approval Ratings have gone down quite a bit and he increasingly dependent on his radical supporters many of whom believe that the crown of our is may not be real or this perhaps a plot to weaken the president do you think do you expect him to continue on this path kind of whatever the death toll ends up being. Well his bit clearly from a electorial point if you considering that he will face voters again in 2022 is that people will forget the pandemic but the unemployment will be high that theyll be a massive economic crisis and he knows that in brazil traditionally president s do not survive a in economic crisis of this magnitude so the only way he believes for him to survive is to distance himself from this problem so assuming that this remains his rationale i think very little suggests that he will change his ways because he has already. Lost 2 ministers of health both both doctors and both of trying to moderate his stance everything we see today suggests that he will continue on this path. Does a bit more about the indigenous communities that are threats what kind of information is coming out from those theres areas well this is part of a broader problem as one of the key parts of the coalition that has problems in our into office is brazil small Group Culture which is a long fall to ease the restrictions on encroaching on the amazon and also encroaching on the degenerates lands so theres a lot of tension between the government and those communities which are now clearly saying theyre not properly protected and i think those are particularly vulnerable groups so this is part of sort of of a kind of a tug of war between agriculture was supportive of the president and those communities who lacked proper protection and who are now more exposed than ever of a single thank you very much indeed for joining us thank you. A haitians in chile or the largest Migrant Community in latin america but theyre poorly page and live in dire conditions many are fraid to see government and medical help for fear of being deported and now the pandemic is fuelling racism against them you see in human reports from the capital santiago. They call them sea days Large Properties subdivided into small quarters where one or more families live cramped together often sharing a bathroom with up to a dozen other families theyre the only option for many haitian migrants in chile like join the santa fe the kitchen doesnt work the bathroom but its difficult for us to run to and hi to my children each have their own room i would never bring them here. To the history largest haitian Migrant Community outside of the United States and its Public Knowledge that they are exploited by unscrupulous landlords and now with the corona virus pandemic they are being discriminated further. Out a few weeks ago this sit there with 88. 00 rooms became nationwide new Health Authorities moved the haitian residence to a special learned teen area with better facilities but 1st the results of their parole of virus test were published on the municipalitys web page violating a patients right to confidentiality the news spread like wildfire even before the cameras arrived the neighbors began throwing rocks and hurling insults at the haitians because a few of them had been confirmed to be carrying coronavirus now they tell us that they feel even more discriminated and vulnerable than ever. The fear of the virus has only increased to stigmatize ation of haitians since ralph gianbattista who works as a Community Translator but only a 5th of the communitys very angry and upset if theyd been from europe from germany this would not have happened. Ralph is always dressed impeccably because he says it helps to counter a constant disrespect of blacks by chileans their reason for. Their these people say get out and blocky there is cruel discrimination here that we cant ignore. Its league worse because many haitian migrants dont speak spanish and dont know their rights and the condition of idea with very precarious Living Conditions its even more difficult for them to survive in a pandemic they charged rent which many cant afford the virus doesnt discriminate but we do. The governor of santiagos metropolitan region agrees that many migrants are living in inhumane conditions. But when we asked why authorities havent stopped landlords from renting unsanitary and overcrowded living quarters he blamed the mayors on them which is really the truth is that authorities have constantly turned a blind eye to a sanitary and human rights dilemma that is punishing those who came here for a better life as never before you see in human aljazeera sent down all across Europe Countries are slowly emerging from their strict lockdowns for the 1st time in 2 months spain has reported a daily death toll of less than 100. 00 the risk of a 2nd wave of infections means many does continue to urge caution and the continents west hit country the u. K. Is still considering how and when to reopen schools so im going to go to port. Soaring temperatures high humidity the 1st heat wave of the year has descended on greece in the capital afghans the easing of the lockdown did little to tempt people onto its streets instead it was the beaches that many drifted towards travel across the mainland will be allowed for monday but it will be another week after that before its islands will allow visitors again. Slowly the country continues to open up its churches unlock their doors to the faithful for the 1st time in 2 months. Im taking precautions because they ordered it not so much because im afraid i always kept distancing and kept apart from my grandchildren. In the u. K. The lockdown has been extended until at least the end of june the woman weather has tempted few on to the beaches here confusion over the governments new guidelines remains as well as efforts to reopen schools while government ministers and scientists attempt to calm fears that allowing children back could cause infections to rise it does seem from what we know now that children are getting it. And certainly. Getting from the disease from one country trying to emerge from lock down to another still in self isolation russia has the worlds 2nd fastest rate of new infections behind the United States with moscow the epicenter of its epidemic. More than 1700 new cases were recorded on sunday the number of deaths from covert 19 has now surpassed 2600 much lower compared to the u. S. U. K. And italy but questions still remain about how russia is registering those deaths and whether its attributing them to causes. Aljazeera. Health workers in belgium or staged a silent protest during a visit from the Prime Minister it turned their backs on a government motorcade arriving for a tour at a hospital in brussels are opposed to the governments handling of the outbreak particularly with budget cuts and the recruitment of unqualified nursing staff belgium has the highest per capita fatality rate in the world with more than 9000. 00 coronavirus deaths began lifting restrictions at the beginning of this month the u. K. Government says that 30000000. 00 coronavirus vaccines could be available by september if current trials are successful its pledged 100000000. 00 towards increasing capacity to develop and mass produce vaccines in the country where a challenge has more from london. The government badly botched the messaging over the easing of its lockdown restrictions leaving many people confused and a poll suggests that most people now think that the u. K. Government is doing a bad job so on sunday we were being told that the country is at the forefront of the push to research and develop a corona virus vaccine 100000000. 00 worth of funding for a dedicated vaccine facility and also a new raft of funding as outlined by the business secretary out sharma i can also confirm that with Government Support Oxford University has finalized a Global Licensing agreement with astra zeneca for the commercialization and manufacturing of the oxford vaccine this means that if the vaccine is successful astra zeneca will work to make 30000000 doses available by september for the u. K. As part of an agreement to do a 100000000 doses into. The u. K. Will be 1st to get access and we can also ensure that in addition to supporting people here in the u. K. Were able to make the vaccine available to developing countries at the lowest possible cost but heres where the governments messaging gets a bit confusing because the Oxford University astra zeneca tie up has been talked about as being able to pump out 100000000 doses of vaccine by september when u. K. Citizens being 1st in the queue but as far as were aware no vaccine actually exists yet and writing in the mail on sunday the british Prime Minister Boris Johnson warned everyone that the path of getting to a vaccine was still a long one and he even said that we might never get to one being developed. Is a 2nd virus wave in china as it sends hundreds of medical personnel to an affected area thats still coming up. And together at last afghanistans political rivals make a deal but theyve still got to get to produce peace. More than 500 medical personnel have been sent to chinas northeast in Jilin Province as the region struggles with a new cluster of corona virus cases meanwhile chinas campaign to test as many of who hands 11000000 residents as possible is heading into its 5th day after a new cluster of cases there the city is thought to be where the virus originated the local Health Authority says more than 222000 tests were carried out on saturday sarah clarke is in hong kong and has more now on how measures are being ramped back up. Some lady has done weve got from the National Health commission out of china weve got 5 new cases reported on sunday 2 of those cases are imported and 3 are from this province known as the Jilin Province this is an area or province the border is russia and north korea its in the north east of china and the government there has reported that the total tally so far of about 144. 00 cases and the mayor and city its his now does describe this as a serious outbreak and as a result the government in the city and across the province have put in place a number of control measures and restrictions and some of that includes the city being put in pastor locked down schools have been closed across the province of also got some of the residential compounds have been locked down as well gatherings both indoor and outdoor have been banned and the transport systems were talking about the trains theres a long and short distance routes theyve been partially stopped for now the governor is also pushing for increased screening of those residents in this particular area medical teams as you mentioned before about 500 medical staff have arrived in julian city to try and test and ramp up the procedures look at the people who not only get infected but the residents in that province to try and stem and curb the spread of the krajina Virus Outbreak and resins have also been advised not to leave the city but as we identify this particular class or the outbreak in the northeast of china we have got a lot of a huge part of china back to business as usual in the city of shanghai weve got some more classes in schools resuming this week weve had the higher grades a regime class but now the lower grades are returning to class as well and weve got some Tourist Attractions theyve also been reopened were talking about the bidding city in beijing as well as the Disneyland Resort in shanghai and some of the flights return to 60 percent of the pre outbreak level thats the mainland Domestic Travel routes so despite the outbreak you have got a large part of china returning to business as normal and when you look at the figures if you believe the official data being released by china we have got low numbers when you compare them to the likes of the United States and parts of europe. India has extended its nationwide lock dime to the end of this month there now with 891000 cases across the country and nearly 3000. 00 people have died india 1st introduced strict social and economic restrictions on march the 25th the lockdown has been extended several times and had been due to expire at midnight the government says schools shops and other Public Places will remain mostly closed but rules could be slightly relaxed in areas with low numbers of cases thailand has extended the ban on International Passenger flights until the end of june but its lifting some domestic restrictions shopping malls and Department Stores have reopened and the evening curfew will now be one hour shorter a state of emergency will stay in place until the end of the month. And very cool is thailands deputy Prime Minister and minister for Public Health he told our visitor the communitys cooperation has helped to reduce the number of infections significantly we cannot say that we are free of corridor why rose. We cannot say that there will be laws there can be a but what we can say is. Thailand is well prepared to undertake situation of circumstance where they will come because. Of the virus travels with people so once we ease up the time we have to do is to make sure that everyone understands
