Town and sport around with red coat shares in a things that and says his teams latest title win is extra special royal securing the spanish championship that 10th straight victory since the league resumed after the coronavirus lockdown. Facility. So more than 6 months after the 1st cases were reported and the resurgence of the corona virus is now such a threat with some nations seeing their worst spike in cases yet we start with india it has become the 3rd country not to record more the. A 1000000 cases infections are spreading in the smaller towns the places where Health Systems are far weaker and some states are now re imposing restrictions after the nationwide lockdown was lifted last month well look at brazil as well hospitals there struggling to cope with what is the worlds 2nd biggest break there are concerns a lack of testing is actually left many more infections unreported of course president himself continues to isolate after being infected thinking about the recovery to thinking ahead as well the e. U. Leaders meeting in brussels shaking hands as they do now with their elbows they 1st face to face over the blocks worst recession in history with major differences still over how an 858000000000. 00 Recovery Plan will be used and the United States well its shattered yet another record more than 77000. 00 cases in a single day even with those numbers politicians divided over Face Covering or does the governor of georgia is now urging residents to wear the masks only a day after suing the mayor of atlanta over its mask mandate so heres the team this hour 3 locations weve got to see a noumenon latin america editor in santiago chile weve got natasha in paris were starting though with our White House Correspondent kimberly how could outside the white house good afternoon or good morning actually she kimberly take us through the mask situation 1st of all georgia versus atlanta. Yes this is a new one debate ill try to keep it simple essentially what on its face looks like the governor or have. Been about face if you will one day after filing this lawsuit against the bottom the mayor of atlanta over her mandate that mast be warned today the republican governor saying i encourage everyone to wear a mask that doesnt mean the sound of his lawsuit not at all what hes saying is he encourages the residents of georgia to wear a mask but he doesnt want them to be forced and thats what his lawsuit says that essentially the mayor of atlanta the largest city in the u. S. State of georgia that her order was too restrictive it exceeded her authority and thats what Many Americans dont like so this is really emblematic of the debate thats going across the United States americans essentially want to in some cases where a mass but they dont want to be told they have to wear the mask this is a nation that is very strong state rights doesnt like the sort of strong federal system that doesnt exist in the United States so they dont like these top down orders so what being governor is saying essentially is hes defending his lawsuit hes urging people to wear masks but he also says that he doesnt believe residents in his state need a mandate in order to do the right thing. Its not the clearest instruction at all is it can be economic you about schools as well so many people wondering about what is going to happen with the next school year the white house sort of continuing to push this line that the benefits outweigh the risks. Yeah and the reason for that Election Year economy decimated this president was to open up the economy and you need to have schools back in order to continue to see that economic recovery but the problem is is that coronavirus cases in the United States continue to spike in about 41 of 50 states and this is not working in the president s favor when we talk about those strong states rights and even municipalities or county rights theyre the ones that are going to decide whether it is right to open their schools for guard lists of what the u. S. President has to say and in fact weve just heard from Kellyanne Conway the counselor to the president she says that theyre going to soon be releasing some guidelines for schools to reopen but again just like mass and so many of the other things when it comes to testing and dealing with cope with these are really optional because the white house can encourage but again it is the localities the governors that have the ultimate say of when these schools open i can tell you very quickly what a lot of states are looking at is potential hybrid systems knowing that many kids get Important Services there particularly communities of color who also dont always have access to why fi in the same ways that other communities might what there may be is kind of a hybrid system those parents that choose that and keep their kids at home may do so well other families may choose to seek support can be home thats a White House Correspondent which again later in the day kimberly right now across the atlantic. Leaders meeting for the 1st time face to face that thats a start at least its no more Video Conferencing water they trying to come up with today. Well on the table is the commissions proposal for a recovery fattened worth more than 800000000000. 00 now this is a Recovery Fund to help the economies in the you recover because after the current virus pandemic of course those economies absolutely battered by the pandemic which isnt over yet by any means now what e. U. Leaders are discussing is whether or not they want to sign off and agree on a deal for this fund but its going to be very difficult the negotiations are already fought because on one side you have countries like germany and france who say that such a Recovery Fund is absolutely essential its big but it is needed to help the e. U. Recover as a show solidarity to help we can Member States on the other hand you have some fiscally conservative nations including austria sweden denmark the netherlands who are very worried about what will be essentially a shed debt because the e. U. Commission will be boring this money off the Financial Markets and then distributing it as a series of grants and loans now what leaders want to try and really sort out in the next few days is whether or not they agree to such a big large amount of money for this fund or should it be a smaller fund and also how whether or not there should be conditions attached to the money so for example if a country is given a certain amount of money in a form of a grant should it then agree or promised as a condition to lets say reform its economy if theres a lot to talk about the german chancellor going into the summit as you say in person in brussels a little bit earlier she did say that look its going to be very difficult to reach a deal because so many Member States are divided. We are 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 i expect negotiations to be very difficult for the message from the german chancellor from the french president s amount of markhor over the last few weeks has really been that unless the e. U. Manages to sign this deal and really press ahead with helping the e. U. Recover from the coronavirus pandemic then the very future of the e. U. Could be a stake in what president micro amount of macro has said of france is he said that you know if we dont help we can Member States of this time countries that have been really surveil hit by the pandemic in italy spain for example and that is going to fuel your skepticism in europe and that could lead to people simply turning their back on the e. U. Project and the end of the e. U. Itself and that is why the french president the german chancellor talked calling for unity and solidarity in a moment of such huge crisis massive situation there potentially isnt it mr butler in paris thank you and now finally a latin america editor of the soon human she is in chile sons eoghan 1st i want to see if we could start with the big story in brazil though which remains the big story of latin america just no sign of anything being brought under control there. No absolutely not the president as we know has been somewhat put under control because he is still carrying he still has coded 19 he tested for a 2nd time a couple of days ago and he still has it in his system so he is still under confinement but he says he is ready to go back to work at any time hes taking hydroxide chloroquine which as we all know has and he himself admits has not been proven to be effective he says it is though even though it may have long term harmful side effects but in the in the country itself the number of infections spreading more and more not only in or rather not so much in the cities like the Rio De Janeiro but in other cities and brazil is a huge continent continental size country with enormous cities with huge populations being yes which is just outside of south in the Amazon Region everywhere you look infections are spreading and the Hospital System simply cannot cope without for a while brazil was boasting that their hospitals had not were not overflowing with with patients and that there i. C. U. Units could deal with it but that is no longer the case at the rate that these infections are spreading and the death rate is is surging pretty soon we may see a very very dramatic situation like we saw at the beginning of this pandemic in countries like italy and spain everything youve just told us explains why brazil has dwarfed the rest of latin america maybe you can tell us about that weve really had too much about the situation there. Oh well thats a very sad situation indeed chile has a much smaller population 11 times less than that of brazil but the death rate from this the death toll from the cold at 19 in this country per 1000000 inhabitants is even higher than that of brazils and higher than that of mexico its number one in fact the good news is that the contagion mate is starting to lower it starting to to go down which would seem to indicate and this is a very cautious prediction according to Health Officials that it that they get the peak has been reached and is beginning to go down but thats because practically the whole country is on lockdown and it has been for months now there is a tremendous pressure to open up again theyve been demonstrations at night in many many poor neighborhoods in the city and it will the capital and in other cities for people demanding food help economic aid that is really the problem here the social pandemic that the president has been referring to has not been addressed properly and it could be a very explosive situation which might also explain why the government is being very reluctant to ease any more confinement measures running things out that is listen you may not last in america and in santiago i also mentioned india a little bit earlier which is seeing a rise in cases the 3rd worst affected country in fact with more than 25000 deaths and as cases 1000000 more states are now imposing lockdowns again to try to contain the outbreak and is a bit purana reports now from new delhi. Municipal workers spray disinfectant in a neighborhood and one of many areas of the state of west bank vault under lockdown im sure united in indeed administered in the north to do an on the puter been to south around a 3rd of indias 1300000000 population are facing some restrictions. While some places such as goa are only imposing a weekend lockdown indias 2nd most populous state be hot has ordered its nearly 130000000 residents to stay home for 2 weeks behind as one of indias poorest States Health experts are concerned about how rural and less developed areas are handling the outbreak now as it spreads its verdict. In the rural majority states the Health Infrastructure in the rural areas is far weaker and attesting so reliant on backtrace to get better are going to be a bigger challenge of india seeing around 35000. 00 new cases and 700 deaths every day even though its testing more than 300000 people daily that still one of the worlds lowest experts believe the actual number of infections could be much higher its almost certainly under cement and the question of what the noble abundance mission the me feel that it might be underestimated by a factor maybe even between Something Like going to try to win the number of cases or to get them oh if it crosses a 1000000 youre probably looking at something more like 20 to 30000000 in the population and maybe that number could be even but despite the rise in cases the Indian Government remains positive Health Minister hoshyar then says india has performed better than any other country in fighting quoted 19 adding that only 2. 5 percent of the factions have resulted in deaths but independent Health Experts say that number isnt actually not just because of indias low level of testing but the fact that most deaths in the country out to medically certified elizabeth purana aljazeera new delhi.

The government says its actions are proving successful in slowing the spread of the virus but some experts say the country is lagging behind some of its asian counterparts and its response has been heavy handed and focused on using fear to fight a pandemic jim duggan al jazeera mandela. Lets have a look at whats coming up for you on this news hour new allegations that Indian Police were biased and failed to protect muslims during the riots in delhi in february details on that. And nicola gage at sydneys a solemn Sacred Center looking at how many people are struggling to cope here in the Global Pandemic after being left out of Government Support packages. And in sport into milan revive their hopes of winning the Italian League title and he will have that and the rest support a little later. Right now the sudan where people have fired police im sorry a 5 tear gas to disperse demonstrators opposed to a change in the law it will allow non muslims to drink alcohol hundreds of protesters rallied outside the great mosque in the capital hard turn the government ordered the closure of major mosques and 3 other cities as well to stop the similar demonstrations. A Memorial Service has been held in mali for victims of last weeks violence the ceremony took place at a mosque run by the influential cleric mahmoud decode who has been leading the antigovernment protests 11 people were killed nearly 200 injured in 3 days of unrest. Also. Members of the west african bloc aiko us are in mali to mediate an escalating political crisis there between the ruling party and the opposition that delegations met with whats known as the june 5 movement led by that influential in mom the co supporters of the protest Movement Want president abraham cater to resign saying hes been unable to solve mollies security and economic problems keep the has heated some of the demands he promised to form a National Unity government for example and to dissolve the Constitutional Court demonstrations began last month over the outcome of parliamentary polls that were held earlier in the here Nicholas Hawk is in dakar in neighboring senegal covering this one for us nicholas one tell us more about the zico us delegation and what theyre hoping to achieve. Well essentially theyre hoping to end this political crisis in a matter of 72 hours but it will take more than a delegation led by the former president of nigeria Goodluck Jonathan to make that happen although with him accompanying him is the head of the Constitutional Court of togo and been there to help out and to ease the deadlock that there is at the institutional level at the government level in mali because at stake here is also the outcome of the parliamentary election that happened in april an election that took place and the corona Virus Outbreak where there was a historic low turnout only 10 percent of the population came out and vote and voted and yet the ruling party won most of the vote 30 of those ballots have been contested by this demonstrators and this protest movement who are calling for the National Assembly all together to be dissolved because some of the members that were elected are close allies if not related to president his son karim kaita was elected in parliament the president of the National Assembly that was recently nominated is his son father in law and so what the demonstrators are denouncing is is is the way that. Is ruling the country the corruption that comes out of it and the fact that he has been so slow to reform the political system that he had promised to do so when he was brought into power so a lot at stake here with a meeting of the echo os but many commentators that weve spoken to say its too late its too late its too little too late. Lets not forget as well and they can see 11 People Killed and nearly 200 in the days of unrest in mali tell us about the memorials that were taking place today. Well yet today was a day of prayer and it is still day of National Civil disobedience as this movement calls it and so we saw crowds of people gathering inside of mosque and ive been to mosque it holds about 100 people there were thousands of people there paying tribute to some of the people that were killed during this this protest among them 15 year old who was shot in the head inside mahmoud ecos mosque or 24 year old house. Who was hit by a stray bullet these are live ammunitions that were shot against protesters that were demonstrating peacefully now the government deployed a Commando Force normally used against armed groups and used it to quell the demonstrators now the Prime Minister today went out to visit and pay to pay their respects of those that were injured because of the deployment of such force and he apologized to the nation for for for this and has called for an investigation of course during the talks that took place between echo was and the leaders of the demonstrators one of the demonstrators one of the leaders said for for us to have a discussion 1st and foremost there has to be an investigation put forward independently on the use of force against peaceful demonstrators so the situation here is still very much tense Goodluck Jonathan is expected to leave tomorrow and expected to give out his or make a recommendation not before meeting with you brian burke our kate just in time kemal because with the latest on the situation in mali thank you. Turkeys president has criticized about the u. A. E. And egypt for their role in supporting the libyan war after egypts president sisi has threatened to arm the tribal leaders who backed hasta which. Sisi says his country would support for says if tripolis government and its turkish allies renewed their assault on the city of sirte. The steps taken by egypt in libya and its support to half show that egypt is entering an illegal approach also the government in particular is behaving like a pirate through supporting the coup with large quantities of arms and and this indicates the position of the 2 countries in libya there is the legitimate government of iraq on one hand and on the other hand there is a regime while most libyans deal with the violence of war one city has found relative stability allowing the local economy there to thrive it is the mediterranean city of misrata east of the capital tripoli with the reputation of being the safest place in the be a right now trying to has our report these are the kind of images which 1st come to mind when people think about libya most western countries advise their citizens to stay away because of fighting and insecurity but. The city of misrata is unlike anywhere else in the country and is regarded as the safest city he rents out this beach to families looking to escape the stress of conflict. The safest city in the country many people are now moving here from outside who come to visit from tripoli to get away from the destruction have to live behind this government owned beach resort in misrata has been closed for years. The internationally recognized government in tripoli recently leased it to private investors. And after a year of renovations its now been reopened but. Todays or grand opening in all of our rooms are booked we have 205 rooms 5 restaurants people came from all over the country especially from tripoli. G. N. A. T.

Internet access was disrupted as well as demonstrators shared videos of the rally online judges on tuesday up held the execution of 3 men arrested last year. Now a government appointed a commission in india says police failed to protect muslims during the riots earlier this year 53 people mostly muslim were killed and many injured during the worst violence in delhi for decades mosques and religious schools were attacked during protests against the citizenship law critics say the law is discriminatory and flouts indias secular constitution so its come from the delis Minority Commission report which is muslims and their homes their shops vehicles all selectively targeted during the rioting in northeast early in february and the State Government hasnt done enough to help victims the Minorities Commission says it collected multiple witness testimonies who described Police Failure to intervene or just not arriving at all despite being called repeatedly and its as Police Charged muslims for the violence even though they were the worst hit the delhi Police Reject the allegations of bias and they formed 3 special Investigation Teams remain open to receive complaints and to talk more about this with senior journalist and political commentator and saadi whos on skype from new delhi now. A i reports like this on the one hand it was commissioned by the government but i guess the government can decide what to do with it is one and it could decide just to ignore the findings. Well certainly they can do that they have preceded us where in the past Minorities Commissions have have filed a report in fact and quite a commissions ordered and instituted by the government have filed reports which have been ignored this is this do it is the mind of his commission is a statutory body its it can only recommend it to recommend its recommendations are not binding on the government and if the past is anything to go by i fear that this will just be ignored and after sometime consigned to the last the report is critical specifically of the police. Is that something the government does the police come directly under government control in india well certainly it does. The police in delhi comes under the control of the Central Government and the reports of zillion dykes to delhi police have been complicit of abetting in classes if losing to file f. I. O. S. Delaying finally goes for 5 hours and in certain cases abetting the rioters from going off to minorities and therefore it is hugely embarrassing to the Capitol Police and issues to be embarrassing to the government is run but its a its a 1000000. 00 question as to where the government will act on this my fear like i said earlier is that it will choose to ignore it is done sorry i think its actually worth just pulling back a little bit for viewers who may not remember the story or may not be familiar with the situation there and actually address the issue of why most people would have been attacked in the 1st place in india. Well the on the back from the back story to this is that the these riots happened soon after the delhi elections and in the aftermath of the protests launched largely by muslims but joined in by other communities as well against the citizenship Amendment Act which the government was very keen on which the government at the time was determined on promulgating large sections of people. Rose up in protest in delhi and across the country and after some time to be chippy cited the threat and it was given a Community Government was given into worse as muslim gullah which was not the case so one dead after delhi elections were held and the and the b. G. P. Was roundly defeated days after that these acts took place and as the report says diva these happened immediately after missed a couple mishra the ranking leader of the b. G. P. In delhi gave a fighting speech and a Delhi Police Commissioners office he no officer was standing by his side but did precious little to stop them and sorry a pleasure talking to you thank you for joining us my pleasure.

Hello there yes more hot and dry weather throughout much of the middle east but to the south it is a bit of a different story lots of cloudy can see history being towards these coastal areas of oman and sure enough the rain is coming in with that area of low pressure in fact at times this rain today very widespread but also really quite heavy we could have some localized flash floods to the south of there wanted to showers across into yemen but the system is on its way but meanwhile on saturday the winds are fairly light not as much sons and sometimes has not quite as high however on sunday it has changed 50 celsius in baghdad the winds are stronger 40 and in fact the temperature is lower in doha but that could also make things feel a lot more humid that ray will begin to push away from amman in the south and work its way across into yemen so again here we could have some localized flash flooding then down into Southern Africa most secure a fine across into south africa want to see more showers continuing to impact these eastern areas of madagascar and a very strong. These rains really pushing up into mozambique but also across towards involve way and youll see the direction of the arrows and those showers they will take their showers all the way up towards the coast of somalia meanwhile very heavy rain across central areas the gulf of guinea and then to the fall south cooler imported. The politics of division have pushed india into the grip of a historical reckoning i am afraid to be closing on the minority of media afraid of where do these ideas come from the tragedy of more than news how much people try to send a close fitting into school a happy family or the only people to join me opticians us here on the final part of my journey when i to become a target of the hindu 1st policy in search of indias soul an aljazeera what is the price of luxury.

Coming soon. This is the news are from aljazeera and these are the top stories a you leaders are meeting in brussels for the 1st time in months to negotiate some sort of covert 19 Recovery Plan the rescue package costs near to 860000000000 dollars but talks so far have ended in deadlock the governor of the u. S. State of georgia is urging people to wear a mask for 4 weeks to help stop the spread of coronavirus but he says he wont support making it mandatory because that is on and forcible the u. S. Has reported more than 70000. 00 cases in 24 hours which is unfortunately new records and hospitals in brazil are struggling to cope with the worlds 2nd biggest outbreak there are concerns a lack of testing is left many infections on or should be indias become the 3rd country to record more than a 1000000 cases. Want to look more at the situation in brazil weve got all of us dont go with us on skype from sao paulo. Want to talk to you about these developing countries and how they deal with the pandemic i should point out all of a professor of International Relations that from the south at the vatican in brazil so the challenges are that there are huge populations medical systems which were probably already under pressure or maybe not up to top sounded in the 1st place and then this swarm of cases that comes in and just keeps going i mean it was it was never going to be easy in these countries. Well absolutely i think brazil is actually a case that shows the difficulty despite having in urban areas a fairly developed Health System in rule areas it has been very very difficult large swaths of the country where it takes hours and hours to to reach an intensive care unit so and also a you know a system that makes it very difficult for people to stay at home a lot of people work in the informal economy so despite being aware of the risk of leaving a lot of people in brazil and across the developing world have to work during the day to be able to eat at night and you know debates about basic income etc are just ramping up but theres still not a structure in place to allow people to actually respect all the social distancing measures particularly in slums for example where people have to leave the house for example have access to water so do you think even if they had been stronger direction from the top if we look at brazils case where president both sonora said it was the sniffles basically and he ended up getting it ironically even if they had been Stronger Leadership it may not have changed the situation simply because well people have got to eat. Well certainly developing countries are struggling more because the Health System is weaker because you know poor people as youre saying they have to work but in particular in brazils case i think the response has been even less coordinated than in other places when you look at the number of deaths in brazil over 70000. 00 and many many more per capita than than in other countries like argentina peru which have taken a more scientific approach so i think bed still makes a difference to flatten the curve in brazil i think theres an aggravating factor that because the president doesnt want to take responsibility hes basically saying im against social distancing measures in order to be able to blame the economic crisis 6 months or a year from now and those who have defended the social distancing measures and because hes minimizing the crisis i think a lot of brazilians are unaware of the risk and theres a big debate about whether you know the president has uncovered a potential conspiracy against him and cetera so the idea of you know not having a minister of help in the midst of the crisis and this strategy of constant minimization certainly makes commenting on the crisis in brazil much more difficult than in other developing countries that have taken a more responsible approach on the stone from pot and we really appreciate your thoughts thank you for joining us thank you the restrictions of coming to force in israel because of a surgeon to run a virus infections Public Places moles tourist sites things that you know closed on the weekends and theres a limit on social gatherings but indoors and out Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is handling all of the emergency has provoked mass protests.
