Warning that millions of people in latin america could go hungry this year because of covert 90. Johnny cash must go with the sports including shut out of Major League Baseball now the Miami Marlins have an Upcoming Games because the team battles the crane Virus Outbreak. So that hes alone accused germany of not pulling its weight in the Nato Alliance and now President Trump is taking action hes ordered a major scaling down of the u. S. Military presence there nearly 12000. 00 troops a 3rd of those based in germany will be withdrawn around hoff will be sent to other bases in europe the rest will head back to the United States now the european command and special operations h. Q. Would also be moved from germany to belgium and the changes are expected to cost the u. S. Billions of dollars as anyone can see the repositioning of our forces in europe constitutes a major strategic and positive shift wholly in line with the n. D. S. And consistent with other adjustments to the United States just much the United States has made within nato in previous times. These changes will achieve the Core Principles of enhancing u. S. And nato deterrence of russia strengthening nato reassuring allies and improving u. S. Strategic flexibility well daryn kagan is in the german capital for us but 1st lets go to our White House Correspondent can be how can you study by for some washington can be this was expected was new but no the details i guess have been filled out. Have salute the u. S. President for casting this last month but now we have a sense of what this might look like we also know that there is broad concern about this move even from some members of the president s own Republican Party who agree with the president in his assertion that germany has not been paying its fair share of nato obligations but they also believe that this has offered stability how being u. S. Troops positioned there and thats why many are concerned still the u. S. President not only giving us a clear picture of what this is going to look like knowing that there will be a withdrawal of at least 12000. 00 troops that it will be a mix of army ed air force soldiers but also giving us a clearer picture of why in fact the u. S. President speaking from the white house as he left and departed for texas very angry pointing the finger at germany saying that for too long he believes that it is taken the United States for granted take a listen. Now in terms of how this might play out you have to remember theres a u. S. Election in november and the timeline we understand for this will take far beyond that so in terms of whether or not this will really happen its still unclear the u. S. President says that hes pushing ahead. But again that may not be the case should his opponent in the upcoming president ial election joe biden win the white house or it can be just hang on there was Something Else i want to talk to you about with donald trump but 1st i want to go to dominic cain in berlin to carry on with this issue. Everybody waiting for this withdrawal of troops and what shape it would take what reaction has there been there. Instant reaction from parliament from the conservative chairman of the Foreign Affairs committee not. An influential member of angle americas ruling conservatives here in germany saying that rather than strengthening nato in europe he believes that this decision will weaken nato within europe and clearly people have been expecting that there would be Something Like this for some considerable time given the sorts of language coming from the trumpet ministration for many years to trumpet ministration angry with germany for its failure to meet the 2 percent of its budget on defense which germany pledged itself to doing back at the wales meeting of nato the wales summit in 2014 and it hasnt achieved that aspiration the interesting thing here is that the fear of this troop withdrawal extends far within germanys so for Prime Ministers of states which have big u. S. Bases in them have already taken the step of writing to members of the United States congress to see if they could do whatever can be done to reduce the damage a drawl of u. S. Troops of u. S. Bases would have on their states within the federal republic and clearly overall the German Government is frustrated by the sorts of language its been hearing from the u. S. Government and this step now. Will not encourage them will not help them in their mission to try to mend fences as it were with the u. S. Government or doesnt thanks very much an idiotic a reporting from berlin that ties up our top story kimberly thanks for hanging on that other issue i want to talk to you about these reports that russia paid the taliban to kill american troops in afghanistan now this is something that donald trump said did not merit his attention in the past whats the latest. Now well the u. S. President again talked about this as he left the white house but just to set up the story a little bit you weve been talking for weeks here in aljazeera as well as other networks that these reports and allegations that russia was paying bounties in other words was paying money to taliban linked groups allegedly to kill american soldiers that caused outrage in the United States but the white house has always maintained 2 things number one that the intelligence wasnt that credible and thats why the president wasnt briefed about it therefore he couldnt act on it but he does know now and has known for some weeks the number 2 they have said every piece of lead that really this is something that still is open for debate even as we know that this was at least part of one intelligence brief whether or not that was briefed to the president still unclear but certainly it was part of the materials that were paired for him in a daily intelligence briefing that he receives now in the midst of all of this what flagged this and kept this the surface is the fact that last week there was a conversation between the u. S. President the russian president and notably in the readout from the white house there was no mention about these bounties instead they talked about concerns of avoiding a 3 way arms race between russia the United States and china so there have been recurrent questions about why the president did not bring this up with lattimer proof as the president speaking from the white house in just the last few moments said the reason is because the call was about other things we didnt bring it up because thats not what the call was about and also again disputing the credibility of the intelligence casting doubt on the intelligence over his own u. S. Intelligence officials so there is once again this recurring theme that weve heard throughout the trip presidency which is why has there been this reluctance to take a harder line with lattimer putin a harder line with russia and also we should point out that readout the other thing that was not brought up is election interference which we know happened in 2016 and u. S. Intelligence says is likely to happen again in november run a lot going on in washington that things are wrapping but all of a complete thanks will. Down to current are some countries and cities in asia praise for effectively tackling the coronavirus pandemic are now worried about new infections Prime Ministers says every city and province is at risk of an outbreak of the big virus free month in india a new report says more than half of the people in mumbai slums have had coronavirus their homes into about 40 percent of the citys population and in the u.

To explain why its conducting hof the number of the most accurate test.

Ok im a republican joins us live now from mexico city and men will be 40000000. 00 people walking towards the brink of starvation says a w f p and also we have this temporary lifting in the amount of hunger there is around but only only temporary because of current violence. Thats correct and brazil continues to be the sort of focus of concern for the entire region when it comes to both this the Ongoing Health crisis the worsening Health Crisis which as we heard from the from that sound sound bite is almost like a domino effect where you see the Health Crisis which is led to of. The economic crisis led to a social crisis led to a political crisis in the country nic i want to run through the numbers in brazil just very quickly these are the latest according to Johns Hopkins on wednesday brazil has now surpassed 2000000 it confirmed cases 2000000 483191 confirmed cases 88539 confirmed deaths in brazil now the government as you mentioned has implemented a sort of stopgap Welfare Program that basically consists of providing Informal Sector workers with 115. 00 a month and the impact that this is had on the short term does appear to be significant when it comes to reduction of extreme poverty at least according to one study by the idea about a Guess Foundation which found that in the 1st 6 months of the year between january and june extreme Poverty Research reduced from 6. 2 percent to 3. 3 percent so while this is significant there is also a warning from experts who are saying that it is only temporary that once this funding this federal these federal handouts expires that we can expect those poverty statistics to once again start to climb now president brazil has been lobbying blobby by his political allies who are asking him to extend these federal payments that are due to expire in august in any event there is a conversation being had in the country over a substitute program for poverty relief but the main concern here is that is that the contagion is far from over and it shows no signs of slowing down and that is that also the case across america wants a Bigger Picture the rising numbers in in peru and chile in colombia a hospital stretch than in mexico its a pretty grim picture is not. Its its very difficult to compare of brazil to just about any other country in the region given that it is the 2nd worst affected in the world certainly the most affected in latin america but despite a few bright spots in the region there is no sign of slowing down for this virus in latin america you mentioned a few countries that are showing these alarming rates of contagion countries like peru colombia right here in Mexico Mexico has just according to latest numbers surpassed 400000 confirmed cases 402690 7 and is soon approaching 45000 confirmed deaths thats here in mexico and one of the biggest concerns specifically where we are right now is that it is striking that balance between the health of the public and the health of the economy its a problem that countries all over the world are facing but mexico continues to to see worsening contagion happen at the same time were seeing the economy start to open up here in mexico city and in several other parts of the country and what were hearing from Public Health policy experts is that while that is necessary the gains made in terms of poverty relief in mexico could have easily been a race for the past 10 years 10 years worth of gains erased because of the pandemic there is a sort of sense that theres an inevitability that a lockdown a new renewed lockdown will happen here in mexico city in other parts of the country and thats happening in several other countries in latin america were placing were keeping a close eye on colombia for example which has just recently surpassed 9000. 00 deaths nationwide and the government has Just Announced a that the lockdown there will be extended through august 30th but again this is something thats happening in several countries across latin america an extension to lockdowns an extension to calls for quarantine and even renewed lockdowns were gains were being made economy started to open back up but now are being forced to go back into lockdown nick or manuel thanks very much for the vote updated memory problem thats a difficult situation there across latin america reporting from.
