Highest daily death toll truth about begins our coverage with the challenges facing brazil. Away from the sandy beaches of rio weve got a national gun that are trying to locate covert patients in theyve 1115. They have just recovered from 1000 themselves and are now working on their day off to help those in need of a. Hospital is a full most cases were not serious so this way we could help them to going to people where to go with visiting people and also to see their problems in their homes small houses with not a lot of airflow we could give an overall guidance ok and cleaning. As the amount of cases of coal with 1000 continues to rise in brazil these doctors believe that Early Detection is crucial to saving lives. Thats why they have turned this somebody school into a temporary office from a truth all these people have been historically abandoned by society and politicians they have no access to Public Health care a cannot afford medicines that is why we are here. People like that the end of the sources say they have been abandoned by the government than you it makes you scared very scared there are a lot of people who believe the virus is a lie from the politicians but its not a lie we know what were talking about my neighbor had it and recovered i have other friends infected a friend died its very sad. The demographic density in the last increases the chances of catching covert 19. In the past few days human rights activists have to announce a change in the body removal protocols what once was a Public Service now depends on the relatives of the deceased where you reach such after 27 hours a body was removed from his house it is absurd what the state is doing with people who do not even have a chance to bear. Its all happening as brazil is caught in a political crisis that has polarized the country between those who believe the way out is by imposing a lockdown and those like precedent. Who want to open up the economy the fight has forced governors to clash with more tonight. On tuesday the police raided the residence of rios governor wilson read cell who is being investigated for corruption in the handling of covert 1000 vets has said on twitter also not all is using the federal police to attack him. Caught in the middle of the dispute are the victims of brazils political system which is failing to protect those who are in need of help the most. But the brazilian state of san paolo has the highest number of cases nationwide the capitals hospitals are near full capacity but speaking to my colleague earlier to reno the gator the state governor said a complete lockdown is not necessary lockdown is a very hard position and we cannot use lockdown for this some polish state we have the protocol the protocol is ready but we are concerning and taking care of that but not to her now as at this moment we are still asking the people in some polish state and in the city of some all of the capital of the state to state at home and use masks is not necessary at this moment. To have a lockdown in your state alone this week has registered more than 80000 cases confirmed and youve had more than 6000 deaths out paulo is one of the worst hit regions in brazil why do you think that is. Well but we saved until now 50000 lives using this so show. Is all asian here in some polish state we decide what the medicine what this science to recommend to worse not my decision is not a political decision is the science decision this science says is sane to us right now is not their moment to have lucked out but they still have the quarantine we are inviting taina it is want we will have a new quarantine in 5 days a hat for 2 weeks more. A new report is warning venezuela is so poorly equipped to deal with current virus that it could make things worse for the whole region millions of venezuelans her fled the country in recent years as it deals with the economic crisis has left many struggling for basic supplies Human Rights Watch and Johns HopkinsUniversity Says its lack of capacity to deal with covert 19 could worsen the situation on the borders and sundered m. P. s he has more. A ticking time bomb thats how a report published on tuesday by Human Rights Watch in john Hopkins University describes the converging crisis of venezuelas collapsing Health Care System and the rampant coronavirus pandemic doctors around the world the earth last year youre going to have already denounced the deteriorating conditions in hospitals across the country many are without access to Running Water and shortages of even basic medicine are commonplace sort of the immediacy and cost of the venezuelan government has so far confirmed just over a 1000 cases of coronavirus and 10 deaths numbers the researchers say are impossible to believe. The venezuelan government doctor is absurd in a country where doctors dont even have water to wash their hands the Health Care System is totally collapsed people are overcrowded and poor neighborhoods and prisons and authorities harass and chase journalists doctors and nurses who are trying to inform people doctors interviewed for the report describe their working conditions and the plight of patients as the plausible missions are asked to bring the water for a mission which means that for the most vulnerable and or that becomes a huge obstacle for admission to the hospital they have to bring 25 liters of water which is really quite expensive so why dont they are asked to bring us not only for their own consumption but even to flush the toilets in some cases this iteration is so dire that patients are being told to the f. A. Q. And youre only outside the hospital in the car which creates a whole august of. One of the doctors desperate to be able to wash its hands before a procedure had to use the water that was dripping from air conditioners. Years of economic and political turmoil have led millions of venezuelans to seek refuge elsewhere more than 5000000 have fled in the past 6 years thousands are now going back as a pandemic ravages the economies of receiving countries the to a future then maybe even worse listen to them. Well staying in the americas President Trump has relative trouble with his favorite form of communication twitter has labeled to tweets about voting by mail as misleading refers users to a fact check page and hes already struck back accusing it of stifling free speech but twitter has not removed another series of controversial tweets described as vicious lies hes questioned whether t. V. Show host Joe Scarborough got away with murder after the death of an intern in his office 20 Years Ago Police rule she had heart problems scarborough was in another city mike hanna is in washington d. C. With more on the president s latest tweet twitter is now interfering in the 2020 election he says in a follow up tweety adds that twitter is eroni asli saying that his claims about male in voting are incorrect and he says. That it is stifling free speech and he continues and as president i will not allow that so certainly a very strong attack on twitter which earlier in the day had put Fact Checking labels on 2 of his tweets dealing with mail in voting twitter described as incorrect and put a lead in a reference to news reports on mail in voting pointing out that it is not as the president claims fraudulent so certainly this spat between President Trump and the forum of twitter is continuing to rage on in a freed is the chief Technology Correspondent of the news web site x. E. Also and joins me now via skype from somethin says can i stuff you back on the program and thanks for your time how surprised are you that twitter has acted in this way considering they do allow elected officials sort of a wider remote remit on this platform compared to ordinary members of the public. They do theres been growing pressure on twitter to take action against President Trump its a little surprising that it was today on this issue as you mentioned there was another issue earlier today where they chose not to take action there are 2 areas where twitter has said specifically they would be more aggressive one of those is misinformation around the virus so weve seen them take action against the brazilian president over that and then also on election misinformation so this is one of the 2 areas where they said theyd be more aggressive that said they have never taken action in 3 and a half years of president ial tweets and there have been plenty that have been misleading this is the 1st time that theyve labeled it so its still a major moment can just pick you up on a on a on the issue you just came mention just on the election related tweets all comments theres been a great deal of pressure to stamp out issues of misinformation certainly leading up to the 2020 election thats going to happen in november based on the fact that there was relatively. Saw some commentators a concern a great deal of misinformation out there in the lead up to the 2016 election what differences do you think have been put on the Electronic Media to sort of get the house in order. Well i think theres been a lot of pressure but initially if you remember in 201617188 lot of the focus was on coordinated in authentic behavior so outside of the u. S. Influences on elections so whether it was russia or china or whomever it was other countries using bots attempting to interfere the more recent issue has to do with misinformation but intentional by an individual so its not you not them to behavior its actually president term its just that the information itself its false and the platforms have been much less able to deal with this its much easier for them to take a look at you know a 1000 bots that are repeating the same thing and saying ok thats definitely not allowed where it gets harder is when you have the actual president whether its brazils president tweeting misinformation about the coronavirus or President Trump tweeting false information about the election that is much harder that said the pressure as you mentioned has been growing especially with the election a few months away and you know patently false information being spread by the president how do you thing that i mean the president of the isnt very happy about this yet it is his chosen platform i call and see him wanting to move away from twitter because it isnt anything similar in a similar vein that he can get his message out across all that would you say that hes going to try and sort of suck it up and deal with the way twitter treats him. Well hes certainly getting more out of the platform still you know he uses it as you mention as its preferred platform and you certainly get a a fairly free reign to reach the American People directly so i dont see him giving up what i do see is increased political pressure on twitter i think well see more pressure hes talked vaguely about this notion of a panel coming at him. That would interfere or you know look at these issues and attempt to look whether there is anticonservative bias so i wouldnt be surprised to see him sort of amp up the rhetoric around whether or not he eventually form d such a commission or not thats one weapon at his disposal is to threaten sort of Political Action legislative action executive action will be interesting to see what happens in the maybe hours old days ahead ina fried always nice to have you on the program and thanks for your insight thank you so much.
