Canada as Prime Minister says hes disappointed that china has charged a former diplomat and a businessman with spying. On protesters call for malis president to resign for a 2nd time this month. Only wellies with the sports news and the latest on the condition of motor sports impala in p. Q. Well. Hes been seriously hurt in a place in italy and has undergone surgery for a serious head injury. Welcome to the news hour the World Health Organization has delivered an alarming warning on the coronavirus pandemic rather than easing the outbreak is in fact accelerating and the world is now in a new and dangerous phase so globally 150000 new infections were reported on thursday thats the highest number in a single day nearly half of them were in the america w. H. O. Is urging people everywhere to maintain extreme vigilance the world is in a new. Many people are understandably fed up with being at home countries and understandably go to open source ideas and economies but the virus is still spreading far as it is still diddly and most people are still susceptible. We call on all countries and all people to exercise extreme vigilance so the w. H. O. Drew particular attention to brazil which is fast approaching 1000000 infections the highest number of cases outside of the u. S. Another 1230 people have died there in just the past 24 hours and scientists and italy have found traces of the corona virus and wastewater collected from milan and terrain in december suggesting it was being spread through northern italy even before china reported its 1st cases lets bring in our line america editor of the sea a new mention joining us from santiago to discuss brazil 1st of all the number of cases there nearing a 1000000 and a see any sign that the brazilian government is trying to get to grips with this. But indeed as the w. H. O. Calls for renewed vigilance were saying that president bush or not it was called for x. And acceleration of opening up the economy and even things such as football matches 1st of all let me say though that we are expecting the Health Ministry of brazil to confirm that indeed the country has surpassed more than a 1000000 infections in a short while a conglomerate of newspapers and other media Mainstream Media in that country has already done so they usually put out their statistics earlier than the government but in any case we are seeing that president bush now though is urging the main football matches to continue the championships in different states one was held in Rio De Janeiro just yesterday right next to a Field Hospital where grow the virus patients were dying as the smoke that as one of the countrys most popular teens was playing inside with no public but still people outside protesting against the president Many Brazilians say its much too soon to bring back football in that country or just about anything else as inspections continue to spread i spoke to the the former ministry of health of brazil luis and we get monday several new may recall was fired by president bush on out of business he had wanted to implement was stringent confinement measures and i asked him how long he thought it would take before this pandemic begins to subside in south americas largest country and also what he thought about the fact that president bush another wants to follow president the u. S. President to lead by withdrawing from the w. H. O. I think that we are in the middle of the pandemic season we have a country though its a really a continent and we have some serious doubt really went through the problems once in the middle tide and other ones that didnt start yet so i think that we will till september. So one day you will work with him so closely how much of his decisions do you think are influenced by his friend President Donald Trump of the United States theyre very close and theyre trying to to follow one too but some are followers trump. Cheney was automatic writing next week that group said there he started saying the same thing here i dont think that he really thinks on doing the media trump thinks im doing that because you know. You get up b. And i are there wont to have to discuss new tools for the war Health Organization remodeler modernizing but the countries there. If the countries are not sitting on the same table to make this discussion the ones that are not said there will not be able to are you so you dont think that theyre going to go through with it they were not drug has an election and the 2nd semester both sides are hesitant to go 22 so as soon as trump passes for his election no matter the result if he loses a lot of states want to do it if he wins the United States wont do it so well so now its probably going to change his position also. And whats the situation like in chile to what extent is that lockdown theyre being adhered to. That is a very very shall we say controversial subject the government has been insisting and probably right but no less than 40 percent of the chilean population has been at hearing what its supposed to be a total lockdown now here in the capital sandalow which is now the 4th most infected city in the world there are they are asking for penalties to be increased to 5 years in prison in fact for anybody who violates the quarantine but there are a lot there are other voices that are saying that the reason why you see so many cars out of the street so many people Walking Around is not just because people are irresponsible but because for example at this hour theyre probably home from work and the reason they can do that legally is because the government appears to be turning a blind eye and allowing a lot of companies a lot of businesses to keep operating because of economic considerations while at the same time telling people to stay at home either way hospitals are collapsing and the situation here is extremely serious for a capita jilly now has the highest infection rate in the world right to see a new man reporting from santiago thank you when millions of people across the United States are commemorating whats known as juneteenth its the anniversary of the announcement of the end of slavery large rallies are taking place in washington new york atlanta and many other cities activists are calling for Racial Justice and this year the date significant has grown because of recent protests against racism and Police Brutality following the death some Police Custody of several africanamericans so juneteenth got its name because on june 1865 an order was issued to free thousands of slaves in the state of texas slavery had already been abolished for more than 2 years but many whites in the confederate south kept the new secrets there have long been calls for it to be a National Holiday but with the recent protests against racism and Police Brutality those calls are gaining momentum.
