White chinas government is taking urgent action to fly its citizens out of india within days. And he was the man known as the king of gambling stanley who died at the age right. So the World Health Organization says now is not the time to ease restrictions across the americas as it says the region is a new epicenter of covert 90 but there is a growing and theyre all a growing on the look down protest with poor people saying theyre the ones suffering the most and lets hear prime begins our coverage. Any ecuador they marched in defiance of the lockdown angry of the government cuts to jobs and salaries brought in to tackle the pandemic. The mayor of the capital quito had asked the crowds to stay home because of the risk of infection but these protesters believe the stakes are too high theyre more we have no fear of contagion on the contrary we were afraid of the hunger that our comrades and. Hundreds of family members who live jobless will go through. This anger to intially where demonstrators have pleaded for help saying they dont have enough food. This is not legal but its the only way to make them listen to us to protest and to create barricades chiles president Sebastian Pinera has warned the Health System is reaching its limits theres been a rapid increase in infections in recent days with a new Field Hospital opened to help ease the strain on facilities. 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 on board we have doubled 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 argentinian 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 and in the bolivian city of trinidad grave diggers are working overtime more evidence of this pandemics devastating impact on communities around the world. Brian aljazeera. Well thats a good move from a lot of america and its. Something certainly needs to be done by the poor is that. Playing out in latin america or in venezuela. It certainly is here in chile a way of seeing protests not so much against the lock down but rather because of the fact that people dont have enough to eat and theyre demanding that the government produce food and in some cases water in camps where they dont have any but as you say the situation of the venezuelan migrants is equally doubly difficult because not only have they lost their jobs they have nowhere to live in most cases because they dont have money to pay for the rent theyve been left basically on the street in the cases of thousands of them and they were never in a foreign land and a great many of them are not documented so they cannot apply for government aid were standing on a street now that were on both sides venezuelan migrants are camped outside theyve been here for weeks and weeks right now a church has just arrived to serve them lunch but theyve been having a very tough time indeed and theyre on this street are refusing to leave because at the end of it is the venezuelan consulate and although they know that the situation in their home country is dire in fact weve just heard reports of the hospitals in venezuela that dont have water in the case of a 3rd of them the other 2 thirds have into militant water and the patients or the families who bring in patients and that dont bring the water with them are often turned away but despite that these people here want to go home. John shows us where hes been camped for weeks with his wife in sydney in the little daughter outside of the colombian consulate in santiago along with dozens of other families they pass the time and the cold as best they can waiting for help from the government settlement 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. But not far away peruvian migrants testart temperature before allowing us in to see their open air camp outside proves consulate they too want help to return home because the pandemic has less than jobless and destitute which is pretty and its freezing there are no bathrooms we sleep on cold cement but by far the largest number of foreigners who have lost their livelihoods other than his whalens 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 to be from our government we are undocumented and we cant ask chile for help the u. N. Special representative for venezuelan 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 diligent investigation. What would be the true motivations richard that you believe is slowing down be a number of people that theyre allowing back in yes yes. Every day more people arrive at the camp trying to find comfort in numbers around the corner 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 older. They tell us they know that the economic insanity situation in venezuela is worse than in chile but they argue that if they have to die of coronavirus or hunger rather it be in their country of birth close to their families in not in a far away strange land. Now we have heard that at least 4 or even 5 of the migrants that you were seeing a little earlier being tested have proved positive for covert 191. 00 of them to want old child the baby a newborn and this situation will simply get worse because the spread of the virus in chile is increasing day by day there was a Record Number yesterday of infections 5000 which is more than what spain had at the peak of its pandemic the death rate here is low but that could change very quickly if the Hospital System collapses and the same thing is happening or worse in fact in brazil the country thats been most impacted by cold with 19 where the major cities are now overwhelmed by infections so are the cemeteries that cannot deal with the number of people that are being buried and this is all the way across the country from sao paulo and rio all the way to the amazon states the president meanwhile as we know has been adamant that a lot. Down or any other kind of social distancing measure is not what he believes in he wants people to go back to work and the only thing right now that he is recommending is the widespread use in the public Health System of hydrox a chlorine which is this you know anti malaria medicine medication which has not been proven and which the w. H. O. Has in fact that they are dangerous because of the side effects back to you. Thanks very much indeed a real problem across the region especially in brazil and in venezuela he said human thanks a lot well Human Rights Watch is warning the collapse of the Health Care System in venezuela could make the pandemic worse across the region John Hopkins University says 2 thirds of hospital surveyed had intermittent access to clean water or none at all and doctors say so you can disinfect and well theyre practically nonexistent leading to dangerous conditions as you can imagine u. S. Sanctions make it harder for humanitarian aid to reach venezuela neighboring countries and straining to meet the health needs of millions of venezuelans who fled as weve been hearing across the border lets take this on we can speak now to tamara good bro now whos the americas Deputy Director of Human Rights Watch joins us from one of that is via skype tamara this picture just sounds terrible it sounds bleak how concerned are you about the situation and where. Good afternoon that we are extremely concerned this is that what i would say taking the situation in minnesota in hospitals without water makes it absolutely and possible to contain the virus were talking about a situation in which hospitals dont have water for doctors to wash their hands which is the most basic preventive measure in minnesota as a whole 25 percent of households dont have access to water and there is extreme overcrowding in prisons and low Income Neighborhoods so the spread of this is happening and the numbers that are coming out of the n. S. A. That are absurd the latest confirmation is of a bit over a 1000 cases for the entire country and only 10 that which is impossible to that either is happening in these circumstances or you know it is very difficult to hazard a guess but what would you will estimate be of the numbers we talking about would it be it would be up there in the thousands would study difficult to know but if you just think that one percent of minnesotas population which is a very low estimate according to have professional has had the virus we would be talking about 300000 people of those and on average around 20 percent of people with the virus in other countries need special medical care which in minnesota its very difficult to get because theres that needed x. Rays limited beds and intensive care units but its just that 20 percent of that is 60000. 00 and of those on average around 10 percent would die which means 6000. 00 imagine you know just compare those numbers which is a very conservative estimate to the reality reported by the innocent and rangy. Right its just sounds as if the virus is going to spread unchecked what will that mean across the country as a whole in the weeks and months to come an increase and indeed across the borders of venezuela into neighboring countries it certainly could have a devastating impact on the head of the life of the next wetlands both think that as in the interior of the country where the situation in terms of access to care and water is much worse than in the capitan and also in the region you were talking earlier about the few 1000 people who are returning getting their desperate situation in latin america but the truth is that they return to Containment Centers in and sanitary conditions are being accused of being traitors and biologic that arms by the regime and they go there because they say theyre going to be a little bit less worse than in that in america in other countries in latin america but they wouldnt be as soon as they can taken with them that this is as weve seen has happened in the past what for example means those are diphtheria which are diseases that had been eradicated and then it came back due to the humanitarian emergency and then spread to the rest of the america well tomorrow its a very real problem we wish you well with your report and lets hope things can change in some shape or form tomorrow to run a Human Rights Watch and what is are saying some of the well the number of covered 900 deaths in the United States is nearing 100000 states continue to reopen their economies from white house plans to buy a 100000000 testing swabs in vials by the end of the a to distribute to states well its not a White House Correspondent can be how could he joins us now and can we yes 100000 deaths really is a grim milestone isnt it and something that the president presumably does not want to focus on. Its true with that death toll rising soon hitting that very significant milestone you have to remember that at one point the u. S. President projected that the deaths would tough out at 60000. 00 well were well above that and u. S. President is getting criticized quite heavily for the fact that while this milestone is approaching hes been focused at times on things that many people consider inappropriate number one goal thing over the weekend number 2 that he has been using twitter to attack his political enemies of not only the former president barack obama but also the former democratic president ial nominee Hillary Clinton even the current presumptive nominee joe biden but whats really raising eyebrows are his attacks in the last few days including today of Joe Scarborough hes a former republican congressman turned amas n. B. C. Host and he has suggested on twitter that he may be involved in a quarter of the president s suspicious death we should point out that this death that happened back in 2001 of a staffer for when he was congressman Joe Scarborough was ruled by the police as not being suspicious in fact it was an accidental death was the conclusion of the police but the u. S. President has been suggesting that this is a cold case that needs to be reopened and some of his tweets now we should point out that the widower of this woman who died back in 2001 he has written an open letter requesting that twitter deactivate the president s account that he dealy these tweets the twitterers response has been made public they have said that they are not going to do this so many people kind of wondering why the u. S. President s so focused on this one particular death when we are approaching the number being 100000 deaths in the United States under covert 19 under this president. Thats a pretty good house can we dont complain to. But more still ahead on the news hour including. No i do i do tax the one i dated before down to the u. K. All to the Prime Ministers chief advisor refuse to resign every trip he made during his trip down. And skys the limit when fighting crime in the u. S. City of baltimore spy planes take off aerial surveillance in a controversial new. Russia says it backs an immediate cease fire and talks to form a united governing body in libya thats after the u. S. Accused russia of deploying more fighter jets to help the libyan warlord he for have to in his attempt to topple the u. N. Recognize government in tripoli has made a major withdrawal of message read from southern tripoli many of whom are russian the government says its forces found large amounts of ammunition left behind by the messrs whove been fighting or in behalf of hafta of them or in this Mahmoud Abbas had joins us from tripoli and initially just talked to us about this said the calls from russia for more talks and for a cease fire. Well. According to the Russian Foreign ministry its the libyan side who initiated this call 1st. But its contradictory on both sides as you know on the libyan side if the speaker of the parliament thats the pro have to the parliament is calling for a political solution but on the ground there are waging a battle against the internationally recognized government and they know that the death toll is huge including civilians women and children so for 15 months of heavy fighting in southern tripoli on the russian at the level its also contradictory there is some kind of irony in the end there in the russian situation as you know on the political situation it backs a political solution and give rove told our get us on the speaker of the Libyan Parliament today that there is no military solution to the libyan crisis but meanwhile russia is fueling the conflict on the ground especially as you know nick that according to the africa the u. S. Africa command russia has recently introduced advance of 4th generation fighter jets to be fighting in favor of the warlord have to against the internationally recognized government in fact the russian mercenaries are a 1200. 00 russian mercenaries from the baghran group which is sponsored by the russian government by the way have been fighting along with half the us forces in several axes in southern tripoli for months now and even with that there was the will of the wagners military individuals recently from the military axes in southern tripoli does not mean that the left the country actually the best of the positioning in other locations in central libya including the city of beni will lead. Now according to the u. S. Africa command the Russian Military intervention in the libyan conflict is also not only excessive bating get. Any stability in the country but also instability in the region let alone the fact that it has been excessive bating the human casualties and human suffering has been increasing due to partly the russian intervention in the libyan conflict or thats a picture from tripoli thanks very much indeed lets get more perspective on this the Wider Perspective from William Lawrence who is a professor at the American University school of International Service in washington d. C. He joins us live via skype mr lawrence 1st of all russia did he make of this russian call for talks and for a cease fire. Well russia is on the back have to are because of the recent military victories by the western government and so this makes it advantageous for russia to call for talks because russia does eventually want a little solution that favors its eastern partner because calling for talks create some space for retreats and maneuvering and repositioning russia has been building up its forces since september its gone from over 20
