Hangs in the balance and a diminishing wilderness when you look at the debate around Farming Development versus destruction of mexicos vast range far east and in sports a 2nd leading tennis player has tested positive for corona virus it follows a controversial series of events organized point world number one of our coverage. We start this hour in the United States where Coronavirus Infections of saud as states continue to reopen their economies the daily number of cases is now its highest level in almost 2 months a dozen states including arizona florida and texas all experienced record increases and new cases just in the last week but it is a different picture in new york city once the epicenter of the outbreak after 3 months of law. Down offices restaurants and has felons reopening in americas biggest city and across the wilds there were 183000 new infections reported on sunday thats the west day yet as the total news 9000000 while in brazil the number of deaths that passed 50000 and indian authorities reported the highest daily jump in new infections there 15000 despite the rise in cases restrictions continue to be relaxed will be speaking to 2 reasons in just a moment for the situation in brazil but 1st lets speak to customs and even whos in new york kristen do you get the sense that people in new york anxious the things that begin to reopen what were seeing this increasing number of infections around the country and also now white house officials warning of a potential 2nd wave. I think people are definitely still very concerned you see that and the fact that theyre Wearing Masks on the street and. Just the traffic that you see behind me were on 5th avenue which is iconic Retail Center of new york city its still early here saks 5th avenue behind me hasnt opened up yet but it will open reopen today for the 1st time in months so not seeing a huge rush of people out to go shopping just yet but people are also concerned about getting back to work getting their livelihoods back some 300000 people could be going back to work today as many as long as new york city and heres whats known as they used to have reopening here the state has been taking a based approach and new york city is the last to enter this space where were seeing Retail Restaurants Office offices reopened but with strict social distancing measures in place for example new yorks 27000 restaurants are again allowed to serve customers but only outside that means outdoor seating on sidewalks or patios theyre making more Space Available on sidewalks. For some of these restaurants but it very difficult for them to also stay profitable under these new guidelines but theyre trying to ease into this to keep the coronavirus levels low as they move forward and attempt to restart the economy and you know that the city is planning to enforce these social distancing measures for example restaurant tables have to be 6 feet apart theyre handing out some 2000000. 00 masts to workers and patrons to aid in that effort and you know you have to remember that the Unemployment Rate here is now 18 percent it rose another 3 percent in the last month so its this balancing act of getting people back to work but also keeping them safe and thats why theyre being very strict with the social distancing measures whole number of other states trying to grapple with that same balancing act as well give us a sense of the picture around the rest of the country because its very different to new york city. This is true nationwide new Coronavirus Infections have gone up 15 percent in the last week bad after plot towing for some 80 days prior to that 29 states are seeing increases in california they had the highest one day total of new infections since march at 4500 missouri oklahoma where president ciampi had his rally over the weekend also had record high numbers of new infections although overall the numbers are relatively small in a place like missouri with 415 new infections in 17 states are seeing lower rates of infection including here in New York New York state now the former food and drug commissioner Scott Gottlieb among others has said that these new cases are not simply the result of more testing which is something that President Trump has suggested he said thats part of it but theres also clear signs that Community Spread is increasing and that is a concern Going Forward some good news though the fatality rate continues to decline we can tell any rate is down 43 percent in the last month even as the new cases are right and so there is some hope there but also this concern that things could get out of hand again if its allowed to increase at this rate christensen amy there for us in new york tipping on things right thank you very much kristen. Well the infection rate is also rising at an alarming rate in the country where the president dismissed it as a little flu as you heard earlier brazil has now recorded more than 50000 deaths from the virus Alexia Bryant has. Brazils deep divisions playing out on the streets of its major cities with some marching in support of president jaya balls and arrows. And opponents determined he should step down. But the market i fear we are here in defense of democracy and asking for sonora to leave this president who asserts the peoples power and is committing atrocities does not deserve to govern our country. Protesters are angry at bolton hours response to the pandemic hes openly disagreed with advice from his own Health Ministry calling covered a little flu saying measures such as social distancing accosting jobs and a more dangerous than the virus itself. Those feelings echoed at rallies in brazils commercial capital sao paolo we saw more mosques showing the president who is often seen without one they are born almost but if they jamieson here in support of our president. We want to go back to work we want support for shopkeepers support entrepreneurs these people here in sao paulo today are in support of brazil. But brazil is struggling to beat the virus with some doctors warning that hospitals a swamped with more than a 1000000 confirmed and fictions. 2 Health Ministers both doctors have resigned as the number of brazilians dying or falling ill increased what critics say is the president s chaotic response has seen local authorities step in to take their own measures but judging by the crowds at protests in the shops theres not much social distancing being done many say what rules there are and not being enforced. On rio de janeiros famous copacabana beach also in our supporters stood with brazilian flags staked into the sand where just weeks ago there were crosses laid in protest against the 10s of thousands of deaths. The mortality rate among brazils Indigenous People is twice as high as other brazilians the militarys been sent in to help communities with tasting but some in the Amazon Region say its too late and accuse the president of abandoning them. Weakness sometimes i can feel it in my heart i feel weak as the virus continues its relentless spread so too does anger about where the president is to blame elixir brian al jazeera well we can now speak to terry isabeau who is keeping an eye on the region for us from one of the areas jury that clearly a lot of tension about how things are being handled in brazil whats the w. H. O. Saying about the situation. Well the World Health Organization to announce that in the past 24 hours 54000 people have been infected with corona virus in brazil this brings up the figure to over 1000000 people that have been infected in the country over 50000 people have lost their lives we also know that the virus has 3 child least 82 municipalities in the country this tells us that it has reached to some of brazils most remote areas in the amazon rain forest where indigenous communities are also being infected and have been denounced saying that they are afraid of extinction so definitely is a very complicated situations some groups in the country and doctors are warning that the figure could be much higher of what its actually being reported because of lack of testing in fact would the latest figures are being reported by a consortium of journalism journalists that do not trust the official figures because theres been an attempt by the government in the facts to control the if the numbers that are being released to the public so certainly theres a big chaos in brazil right now there is not only the coronavirus pandemic but also a political crisis an economic crisis a precedent that has called for all of virus living through all that has been seen in public without wearing a mask how getting some of his supporters of poll signal lockdowns a man that has been fighting with the Supreme Court for as different different issues but mostly has been confronting the Supreme Court his followers protesting outside the Supreme Court and hes also we clashed with powerful governors governors from the very beginning ones in to impose a lot downs in cities. But now theres an ada and that have been pressured to start opening up the economy subtly the situation is grim at moments when brazil should be locking down and trying to a prevent the spread of coronavirus well some of brazils major cities are opening up and theres lots of worries or where this is going to lead to and theories around the region as well as several other countries in latin america are also seeing a rapid increase in infections. Well 711 america right now is the epicenter of corona virus a worldwide were seeing a rapid increase of infections mostly in countries that did not implement a lockdown from the very beginning like brazil like mexico where 20000 people have lost their lives she live for example how to rectify the amount of people that have died because many of those that died had film terms that have not been testing at that numbers have been brought up to around 7000 people that have died of corona virus weve seen that in countries like you are why para why and even argentina they have managed to control if compared to those countries argentina for example was one of the 1st countries in latin america to impose told logged on Security Forces on the ground controlling people to stay at home and argentinas press send out about the 5 men this is right now evaluating where to extend a base in lockdown that has been ongoing for 3 months this is had an enormous impact on argentinas economy and certainly theres lots of pressure for the government to start opening up but still the president did say that if the situation continues to increase as it has been in this past few days there he wont hesitate to extend the lockdown so suddenly this loss of worry about what will happen in latin america when this demick is over the world bank is saying that theres going to be a 6 percent contraction in the economy so certainly were going to see lots of inequality poverty and probably hunger to reason birthday keep an eye on the region for us from going to areas thank you very much theresa all the head of the World Health Organization is warning well it is against politicizing the pandemic saying its undermining efforts to combat the coronavirus he says the lack of Global Leadership is more alarming than the virus itself. The greatest threat we face now is not the virus itself its the lack of Global Solidarity and Global Leadership we cannot defeat this pandemic with a divided world the moral is in desperate need of National Unity and Global Solidarity the politicize asian of the pandemic has exacerbated it ultimately the problem ik i shown that we are humanity one humanity and none of us are safe until all of us are safe.
