Hospitals in brazil are also overwhelmed its the 2nd worst affected country in the world with about 375000 cases and in this ward in Rio De Janeiro patients shared a room for hours with someone who died from the virus staff say they were too busy trying to save lives to move the body also users into the a lot of we have double the patients and half of the team and that happens in 90 percent of the health units and hospitals and clinics with that overload the quality of the service is inefficient and causes physical and psychological problems to the Health Care Workers on monday the daily coronavirus death toll in brazil who exceeded that of the United States for the 1st time with 807 deaths recorded in 24 hours from a virus president diable so narrow has described as a little flu the pandemic is ravaging latin americas poorest and entire low Income Neighborhood on the outskirts of the argentinean capital one osiris is now in isolation after dozens of cases were confirmed their aid parcels are being delivered but some residents say theyre already going hungry.

Well Human Rights Watch is warning the collapse of the Health Care System in venezuela could make the pandemic worse across the whole region years of economic and political turmoil have led millions of venezuelans to seek refuge elsewhere for more than 5000000 who fled in the past 6 years hundreds of thousands have no legal documentation it is latin americas largest refugee crisis in recent history most of traveled to colombia peru chile ecuador into brazil and some have headed to the caribbean european nations are hosting a pledging conference asking for money to help venezuelan refugees in the region lets get more on this from a lot of america to human induced something certainly leads to be done because there is a poorest hit hardest and certainly how its playing out in latin america. Yes absolutely that seems to be the rule during any crisis economic or sanitary and this is no exception at this hour that that donors conference you mentioned is underway with european nations and also International Lending institutions apparently pledging as much as 2000000000. 00 for the venezuelan refugees and it cant come soon enough the president also of peru ecuador and colombia taking part in that conference and thats where the majority of the refugees are but also here in chile where there are thousands and thousands and tens of thousands of venezuelans who have lost their jobs they can no longer pay rent they have nowhere to go except in many cases in these tents that you see behind me they lead to the to the venezuelan consulate that is at the end of this street and these people have been camping here now for a long long time trying to pressure their government to bring them home even though they know about the that the situation both economic and in terms of the Health System out there in venezuela is abysmal. Jim shows us where hes been camped for weeks with his wife and seen me in the little daughter outside of the colombian plimsoll and in santiago along with dozens of other families sleep past the time and the cold as best they can waiting for help from their government that i mean that will break. This is precarious the way our politicians count on us for votes we need now to count on them to bring us home. Not far away peruvian migrants to start temperature before allowing us in to see their open your camp outside consulate they too want help to return home because the pandemic is less than jobless and destitute which is real its freezing there are no bathrooms we sleep in cold cement but by far the largest number of foreigners who lost their livelihoods are the. Unusual aliens who make of chiles newest and largest migrant community. For 2 months hundreds of men women and children have been living like this outside of the consulate. When the pandemic started president Nicolas Maduro sent airplanes to repatriate those who wanted to leak but now the doors of the consulate are shut right. We have nothing left anymore were living from charity and getting desperate and not a peep from our government we are undocumented and we cant ask chile for help the u. N. Special representative for the news whaling migrants and refugees system of government is laying out conditions for people to return one is a quarantine period at the border and the other is more of a long the lines of. More. Of the investigation of who is coming back and what would be the true motivations for that richard that you believe is slowing down the number of people that theyre allowing back in yes but yes. Every day more people arrive at the camp trying to find comfort in numbers around the corner of the venezuelans are beginning to be tested now for coronavirus either way a group of them we understand will be placed in quarantine so that they will be ready if and when venezuelas government sends an airplane to get them but the real question is what will happen to them once they get out. They tell us they know that the economic insanity situation in venezuela is worse than in chile the to argue that if they have to die of coronavirus or hunger theyd rather it be in their country of birth close to their families and not in a faraway strange land. Well we can confirm that at least 4 of the venezuelan migrants from this camp have tested positive 2191 of them a 2 month old baby that was born who was born here in chile a short time ago the infection rate in this city which is the epicenter of the pandemic in this country is absolutely soaring yesterday there were almost 5000 cases the highest number so far and more than in fact we had seen in spain at the height of the pandemic there the death rate though is still relatively low and that is not the case in brazil where the numbers are of the fictions and of course deaths are increasing all across the country from Rio De Janeiro sao paolo the largest cities all the way to the amazon and in the governments response to that of president j. Bull so narrow has been to promote the extensive use of the antimalaria drug hydroxy chlorine which of course has not been tested in which just yesterday the international the World Health Organization warned should not be used because of its potential dangerous side effects you see things very much indeed and you would reporting there from santiago lets speak to a white house calls when it can be how washington d. C. Was talking about the growing number of the problems that are existing is there a crisis that there is in brazil and now the u. S. Is shutting the door and passengers flying in from brazil given the numbers i guess that makes sense to. Yeah and in fact what were hearing and its been widely reported that this deadline which was to be thursday for shutting the doors in the United States to travelers from brazil has been accelerated because of the very high number of cases that is occurring of covert 9000. 00 in brazil what we understand is the trumpet ministration set to put this travel ban in place 2 days early essentially it would be coming up on midnight Eastern Standard Time but this is very consistent with what the administration has done in terms of travel bans for other global hotspots of course china being one the u. K. As well as some European Countries but whats interesting about all of this is the president also naro much like President Trump in the early days really downplayed the seriousness of coronavirus and now has seen his country emerge as one of the global hot spots and as we heard in our report earlier he called it a little flu and said that the direct economy essentially would be far worse and so has really pushed back on some of those stay at home restrictions but apparently the trumpet ministration who has often been kind of a supporter distantly of the boston Area Administration has now decided that this is so serious that they are going to close the border to travelers from brazil. What about the sort of being that we hear your brother to the United States to to try and get trumbo for his favorite platform which is of course to whats going on. Yeah well to put this into context the United States is coming up on a very grim deadline and that is 100000 deaths not a deadline but really a marker if you will a very grim one at that 100000 deaths from coronavirus or covert 19 and while the u. S. President thing might be focused on that instead what weve seen in recent days is have a railing against political foes on twitter whether its president obama whether its a former democratic president ial nominee Hillary Clinton or even the presumptive nominee joe biden but the one thats really catching peoples attention is his assertion essentially that one of his political foes has committed a felony thats what hes been doing for a number of days including today railing against the former republican congressman turn to m s n b c anchor Joe Scarborough essentially accusing him of or intimating that he may have had something to do with the death of a congressional staffer in his office back in 2001 we should point out that the widow of this congressional staffer has written an open letter to twitter requesting that the u. S. President s tweets be deleted that he be removed from the platform but the latest coming from twitter is the fact that they wont be doing that despite the widows request still many people raising some eyebrows about why the president is so consumed with this when we have again this very grim reminder of the number of deaths from covert 19 set to occur 100000 the United States fast approaching that very grim number right there can really have them can we how could a white house. Plenty more still ahead on news hour including. No i do i do with rex being wanted. More fallout in the u. K. After the Prime Ministers chief advisor refuses to resign every trip he made during a strict lockdown. A cautionary call from hong kong is needed to protest it says planned new security rules get closer to coming into effect. And in support well have an update on the lessons injury from his challenge club that will be with the later. That russia has told libyan war 24 have to that it backs an immediate cease fire and talks to form a united governing body thats after the u. S. Accused russia of deploying more fighter jets to help after in his attempt to topple the un recognized government in tripoli theres been a major withdrawal of mysteries from southern tripoli many of whom are russian the tripoli based government says its forces found large amounts of ammunition left behind by messrs who have been fighting on behalf of hafta for more on this mahmoud joins us from tripoli. Tell us 1st of all more about this russia saying that they want to encourage talks. In libya. 1st of all according to the Russian Foreign ministry the call was initiated by the libyan side and as you know in this call the Russian Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov has distressed on the political solution instead of the military solution to the libyan crisis has also called on renewing the negotiations into libyan negotiations to end this conflict but this is all seems at least ironic because as you know the russian intervention in libya according to the africa the u. S. Africa command has contributed to excessive baiting. Human suffering on both sides especially after the news about russian fighter jets from the 4th generation are being deployed to libya to take part in the current conflict with have those forces against the forces of the internationally recognized government or what seem are contradictory because russia gird girl her neck. It seems contradictory because until this moment did our russian ministries in libya with the weapons of vans with weapons. Even the that was that all from saddam tripoli but that is still in bed he will lead the city about 300 kilometers from the capital tripoli that base there eyewitnesses local sources tell us that the walking were around freely in the city and theyre being deployed somewhere else and central libya and have been flights to carry them to an identified. Distillation may be inside libya again so the question now is whether or not the russians would be able to. Fly these fighter jets to be engaged in the conflict after the american warning nic its like were close but more broadly just because you and i spoke about last week and they arrived last week by all accounts so have more arrived no are these the same jets that the u. S. In are referring to. Well according to the United Nations report about 1200 that russian medicine is from the bagnall group have been deployed in libya to fight alongside have to his forces against the internationally recognized Government People embed he will lead city especially the mayor of benny will tell us that about 1500 russian most of these have been or have arrived to binny will lead the city many of them was drawn from the confrontation axes in southern tripoli and in fact that caused a major setback to how far his forces especially at the last strategic locations including 3 military camps in southern tripoli and the Government Forces are now proceeding until this moment in many axes in the vicinity of the old inactive International Airport in also in haines our neighborhood will now move in going to have to his forces in southern tripoli and they are gaining ground and thats also attributed to the withdrawal of the Russian Military is in southern tripoli but the question now is whether or not theyre going to leave the country especially after the news about being given deployed again and being provided with advances fighter jets. Tripoli with him but lets move on to cure who is a professor of Political Science at university of texas in san antonio and joins us from there on skype right now so what do you make of this russian backing of a cease fire and and more talks just as the u. S. Africa command says that russia is in fact exacerbating the human struggle in libya especially with the arrival of these jets. Women so have been doing the same thing too i mean this has been if youd be here im sure you have been looking at the news and following it but about last week of the motions and so stuck together and they said then once again they want to draw from libya but then they wont do that they have too much to say what actions of the turks. Fortunately were here that will be talking its like the the the point trying to get the black or vice versa the chemical of the pot black then theres a reason to have been 30024000 mostly they get weapons from from from turkey in the end which is under the supplies so the russians as well helping out with helping them its its a 0 sum game they were they needed the russians not to turks are willing to give up their gains in libya know the egyptians either and so on so i dont know for sure you that if. Those forces loses looks a lot more in tripoli you can apply in egypt intervening in that its i think that should be ok so given that what do you make of moscow now backing this immediate cease fire and political talks that they say would culminate in a huge united governing authority. I mean this is fine talk is cheap but ultimately what is what is what is the reality on the ground that they might withdraw their forces but then theyre not going to treatment you know it was still going to get come to have to one way or another directly or through or through or through egypt also some of the other other source doesnt doesnt doesnt really matter a lot of talk but there is jewish and the ground is going to be thought on the ground between libya and thats it right well that sounds like a grim fall cos of what is then and the danger is this escalating internationally if youve got these russians applied across talking the case. And the concerns of like whats going to happen. The russians have been supplying the wrong so it isnt i mean on the under the guise of spare parts of books i mean how many how many made 20 ones and make 23. 00 does libya have to continue coming up with new ones every day so it doesnt need much difference all of this is nonsense i assure you it is it
