And on time how much with the sports they are madrid they have won the Spanish League title full record extending 34th time. Man ending the clubs 3 year wait for the championship. India has become the 3rd country in the world to record more than 1000000 cases of coronavirus thats after the u. S. And brazil in all 3 countries. The pandemic is wreaking havoc on Health Care Systems economies and peoples daily lives some states in india and re imposing restrictions after the lifting of the nationwide lockdown last month theres concern many cases are now going unreported because of a lack of testing infections in the us have set another record more than 70000. 00 in 24 hours thats the highest daily number recorded by one single country so far in total the u. S. Says more than 3 and a half 1000000 cases brazil has now seen more than 2000000 cases hospitals there are almost at breaking point president is currently under treatment for covert 19 after dismissing the virus as a little flu were live in all 3 countries will get more on the situation in brazil from journalist Gustavo Rubio in brasilia in just a moment kimberly how could the white house for standing by there 1st lets go live to new delhi and my colleague elizabeth per annum liz so what kind of impact is this resurgence having on india. Hi peter what were seeing is more and more places as you mentioned bringing the. Measure which is a lockdown to try to contain the spread of the virus back in with seeing Something Like nearly a 3rd of indias population of 1300000000 people facing some form of lock down restrictions whether we can lock downs as the saying and go a night fuse again and go all the entire state so india 2nd most populous states be hard with a population of nearly 130000000 people thats gone into lockdown for 2 weeks now most Health Experts will agree that not down that the outbreak in fact is better managed from the state level anyway given indias very large size and population but the issue is that not all states have the resources were seeing a real rise in cases in the south but the Southern States a much better off financially and so where we have lockdowns in the south people are using the governments are using that time to really increase testing you know to improve Contact Tracing surveillance but when you look at somewhere like be had which is the poorest one of the poorest states in the country with some of the worst Public Health care i mean it tests less than a 10th of the number of tests that are being conducted in delhi so that is the real concern now as cases move from the big metropolitan cities like mumbai and delhi to the more rule developed areas how are they going to handle the outbreak are they going to be able to ok liz well leave it there many thanks Elizabeth Peron amount correspondent there covering whats going on in india lets take you live to the white house washington correspondent kimberly how could can really forgive me if this sounds like a complete outsiders question but given where the numbers are going up and up and up why are these still scrapping them having a politicized fight over who should or should not wear mosques. Without getting into u. S. History lesson i think that the short answer is that this is a unique amalgamation of states its like having 50 Different Countries that each look out for their own independent means its very different from a federal system of government and that is really something that Dr Anthony Fauci of the court of virus task force talked about is that people keep asking why is there not a federal mandate its because there are strong states rights in this country having said that were seeing that play out in the state of georgia where just yesterday we saw the governor there filing a lawsuit against the mayor of atlanta one of the biggest cities in that states essential he saying that her mandate of wearing face masks had gone too far was to were strict of again personal freedoms highly valued particularly in certain states that lean conservatively but now were hearing in just the last few moments peter something rather perplexing that it appears that that governor in georgia has changed his tune seeing the case is searching in his state now sin courage and people in that state to wear face masks at least for the next 4 weeks what you can take from all of this is the outer confusion as cases of cope with 19 continue to surge across the United States. Dramatic yukons across the country as many states we too dejected the idea of telling people to we face masks or seeing keeps is such that everyone can adopt the practice of organ face mask for the next 4 weeks we will be able to get coburn 1000 under control by the new georgia governor is going to court to ban cities and municipalities making masking in public compulsory camps says looking orders cant be more restrictive than measures hes put in place his team only only are jews the winning of minus. The governor has taken a formal position on mass in the state of georgia so whatever the motivation is i think that at the end of the day we all have to do the right thing because its the right thing to do and what the scientists are telling us is that the right thing to do is to wear mask mask are not a political statement mask are a Public Health to a necessary Public Health to the state of georgia continues to send mixed messages to everyone that lives here cases and no such thing in 40 of the 50 states hospitals are being stretched to the limit we were previously seeing about one in 10 or even one in 8 of our tests that we were doing in the community they were coming back positive now were seeing one and or so about 25 percent of all the tests that were doing which weve also ramped up but were seeing more of those that are coming back as that which concerns us for increased transmission in the community the u. S. Government centers for Disease Control recommends winning a mask as do most medical professionals but its only mandated in about half the states many retailers have their own policies no mask no service but thats what some angry reactions including one customer drawing a gun in florida you know new yorks governor under cuomo has enlisted one of the most trusted voices in america to get the message across like when you wear a mask you have my respect. Because your mask doesnt protect you. It protects me Morgan Freeman appears on these Public Service announcements are doing a medicare to mask up but its clear the issue has become political and in america in 2020 political means divisive but many governors are warning if things dont improve when youd stay at home orders might not be far behind alan fischer aljazeera can be i guess if it says well one of the next big punctuation marks is children going back to school is that debate politically as much of a hot potato as the wearing of masks. I think it is in some cases because you have to remember that the schools are really the focal point of where children receive a lot of services and what we see in the United States is when it comes to online a learning which is the alternative to being physically in a classroom theres a real divide when it comes to the haves and the have nots in other words not everyone can afford the y. Fi necessary to support that type of learning particularly in communities of color so what were seeing in urban areas is this push to try and get kind of a hybrid system whereas those that feel comfortable staying home that have the technology to support it they will be allowed to potentially stay home whereas the students that need support in classrooms would be allowed to go to the classrooms when it comes to kids there seems to be less political politicize ation having said that i want to quickly talk about one poll because as weve talked about this mix messaging thats coming out in terms of this white house on what to do about for a virus in the strong states rights eva though there is that history of independence in the states it does show in the poll numbers that americans are looking for a strong central message from the president one that theyre not getting in fact these latest poll numbers seem to show a continuing decline in terms of the president s Approval Rating when it comes to handling this crisis 60 percent of americans now believe the president is not doing a good job they would like a strong central message one theyre not getting kimberly thanks very much lets bring in genesis rubio 2 from brasilia hes the founder of the brazilian report an online news magazine website covering politics and the economy in brazil gustava great to talk to you again why you see. The numbers going in precisely the wrong direction. Well brazil reopened too soon brazil is may be the one case in the world where states begin to reopen in a non essential activities began getting the go from authorities before curbs were downwards trend brazils number of daily deaths has plateaued that around 1000 new desperate day we show no signs of slowing down and cases continue to rise especially interior of the country where Health Care Network is much less present then in big centers and which could lead to to a higher portion of the us in the near future so its super early in the morning with you any government reaction to the latest figures not so much this government has been know to has notably denied that the severity of the coronavirus and actually the latest we had from president durable so now there is that this fight all evidence that are entering Health Minister is not doing an excellent job he said that he will stay put and i remind you that it has been 2 months since we dont have a definite of Health Minister or Health Minister continues with that interim tag for the past 2 Months Health care workers in brazil clearly at the leading edge of the fight against coronavirus along with generally speaking the Health Care System if it gets as bad as it might to commit Health Care System sustain what its already gone through can it do more of the same. It really depends on where you are because in brazil we are d a huge country we have 27 states and 27 very different realities so in some states like for instance the Health Care Network is more is better structured and is more capable of handling the demand but when you go for instance to the amazon states which were the 1st ones to collapse back in march and april in there for instance in the state of missouri as the capital men now is the only city with an intensive care unit so thousands of people have to go into a boat and the right for hours before they can get to specialized medical treatment so it really depends on where the curves would go up if were talking about the north and the northeast of brazil which are the poorest see the poorest regions in the country the consequences can be much more severe that being said where i am right now but as you know it is a region with a very High Development index and still we are seeing curves enough taken infections that have led the main hospital in brazils capital to have over 90 percent occupancy rate in terms of i. C. U. Bads ok well leave it the good stuff out of there in brasilia thank you very much. Thank you. Plenty more still to come here for you on the Search Engine news hour including millions are forced from their homes after chinas worst flooding in decades. Also ahead why a former president of gambia is about to lose his multimillion dollar mansion in the u. S. And in sport well tell you how tiger woods fit on his return to action after 5 months we want to. Turn our attention to europe now because e. U. Leaders are meeting in brussels the 1st time in months to negotiate a qubit 19 Recovery Plan a proposed 860000000000. 00 worth of a rescue package is aimed at pulling the e. U. Out of what could be its deepest ever recession talks last month ended in deadlock the use for biggest economies germany france italy and spain back the proposal some others do not we are at the beginning of this summit now and the stakes couldnt be higher because if we do it right we can overcome this crisis stronger and emerge stronger from the crisis all the necessary pieces are on the table and a solution is possible and the solution that is what our people in europe expect from us because its their jobs that are at stake and the risk of the virus still persists and the whole world is watching us on this does have no need for song kind of were not sure if well be able to come to a solution yet although we are hopeful but we have to be realistic it will require a great deal of compromise from all of us if we are to achieve something thats good for europe and something thats an appropriate response to the economic difficulties were facing and i expect negotiations to be very difficult. The taj about what aljazeera correspondent tracking the big story for us. Really tough negotiations over the next days perhaps what are the sticking points. A very tough negotiations because a you pointed out there you have the you basically divided over whether or not it is ready to reach an agreement and sign off on this major Recovery Fund deal whats on the table is a proposal from the e. U. Commission more than 800000000000. 00 Recovery Fund aimed at trying to help the economies in europe that have been battered by the coronavirus pandemic the idea is that the e. U. Commission would pour money off the Financial Markets then distribute it amongst Member States as a series of grants or loans where needed but the main sticking points are really that although on one side you have countries like germany and france who say that this is the time for solidarity and we need this money to help europe on the other side you have more fiscally conservative nations austria sweden denmark and netherlands amongst others who say that they dont want to be involved in what is essentially a shared debt scheme now the big sticking points are really is this too much money is the fun too big some of those more conservative countries would like the fund to be a lot smaller theyre also concerned about how this money will be distributed are we talking about grants and loans or just loans and there are also attachments to whether or not a Member States should get this money so leaders will states leaders i should say will talk about whether if for example one member state was to be given some money as a grant or as a loan should fact come with conditions for example having to make reforms to their economy does this really i guess in a sense cut to the heart of the question about what the e. U. Is for this is being seen as a crunch summit whats at stake for the e. U. Here. Thats right the french president emanuel macro has said basically that this is it is a make or break moment if you like because the very future as far as hes concerned all of the e. U. Is a stake because if this is a time where the e. U. Does not rally together does not come together in a show of solidarity and unity and help we can Member States states that have been really badly battered by the pandemic im thinking of italy and spain for example then that could feel a real sense of euro skepticism in those countries in europe skepticism could end up fueling the breakup of europe in the future so thats why you have leaders like mark roll out like merkel saying its really important that the e. U. Stands for what is supposed to stand for that is you know see it specially in a time of crisis in the year was quite going to criticized at the beginning of the pandemic for not rallying around for not having a coordinated response to the pandemic now is the time where they really want to show that in fact they are there to help each other at this time of crisis natasha thank you very much natasha correspondent there reporting live for the news hour from paris.
