don't you see. the the a. desperately seeking a vaccine and treatment leaders unite with the world health organization and a plan to fight the coronavirus. hello there i missed this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up calling it quits brazil's popular justice minister steps down accusing the president of criminal meddling acclaimed denies. protests inside

a prison in argentina's capital inmates demand better protection from the coronavirus determined not to die in jail. and how the pandemic is forcing muslims around the wilds to change the way they celebrate the holy month of ramadan. now it's being hailed as a landmark collaboration wild leaders have pledged to speed up development of a coronavirus vaccine and ensure that everyone will have access to it it's part of a health organization initiative but the united states with the death toll now over $50000.00 says it will not take part of that diplomatic editor james bass reports. it's just the place you would have expected in previous times to have seen u.s. leadership in a global crisis and world leaders coming together with

a response not the idea of this event to coordinate the search for a vaccine testing and treatments for covert 19 and to make sure all the widely available the world needs distorts and it needs them fast. but experiences has stored those that even when tools are available they had been not been equally available to on we cannot allow that to happen and what feedback we may deem require is the most message public us efforts in history data must be shared production capacity prepared resources mobilize communities in gauged and politics separate sites. i know we can do it i don't we can put people 1st and leaders spoke from all regions of the world technically

bringing them all together was a bit of a challenge you know excellence you have can you hear me now oh yes yes we can hear you back in germany one of the members of the g. 7 a group of countries that were represented. we're now going to continue to mobilize all countries of the g 7 and the g 20 for them to back this initiative i hope that we will be able to reconcile the sinister of china and the us because the fight against covert 19 as a common good for humanity this shouldn't be any divisions between countries we need to join forces to win this battle the fact that the world health organization was the host of the event explains why the u.s. didn't take part in president trump cut all new funding to the w.h.o. because he claimed the global health body had not been tough enough on china the w.h.o. failed in this basic duty and must be held accountable it's

a spokesperson for the u.s. mission to the u.n. in geneva where the w.h.o. is based told al jazeera they'll be no u.s. official participation we were informed of this event last week and we look forward to learning more about this initiative as soon as possible following this event the next phase will be led by the european union in 10 days time they'll be trying to raise 8000000000 dollars to make sure that vaccines testing and treatment are available to everyone james pays out 0 at the united nations oakford university has just started testing a possible vaccine on humans the british government is funding 2 clinical trials the other one is that imperial college london scientists say they'll know in a few months if it works edward o'neill is one of those who recently received a trial that same. so in terms of getting the vaccine they have to make sure that i'm fit healthy they take some blood beforehand so ensure that i wasn't on willingly unwittingly in fact if they can say before hand if i have any antibodies

against the virus but they also then give me the virus they injected into my own. and they go up just like any model of vaccine white a little it just make sure there's a big media response and then all is good together that was about it so i'm being monitored by a daily blokes tricking my temperatures and any symptoms that i might have anything that is like anything i'm told that a specially anything that is normal you know we expect with x. ray but i'm also getting regular blood tests to 'd actually see what is going on with my blood to see is there or in response that it's against the virus the arrogance the engines that would be typical in the service of the virus or whether or not there isn't a sort of a response of the type response but also i could easily be in the control group so i don't actually know if i was in the problem vaccine trial but all the uses of backgrounds against the whole tentative vaccine that is just no way available given

to adolescents in the u.k. so it's a noble accident so it's an old saw effects of so on except for oh that is typical of a vaccine now u.s. president donald trump says he was being sarcastic when he raised the possibility of injecting disinfectant into patients to fight the current a virus after signing the nation's stimulus then intent on trying trying to explain the comments he made on thursday that to widespread criticism from doctors and ex-pats the president suggested scientists explore whether in setting light or disinfectant into people with private 19 might be an effective treatment now new york state is the west at area in the us and governor andrew cohen there has warned that reopening the economy to any american state will be dangerous. if you say well we're done can't stay in the house anymore let's just reopen just.

anyone in the pyramid of the executive power. well that's pizza palace of tara he's the director of the woodrow wilson center is brazil institution and he joins us now from bethesda maryland via skype how do you think for being with us i would like to start with some context here because that you're more is really the face of the anti corruption crackdown in athen america right after leading operation coalition he's incredibly popular he's also i believe the 8th minister to leave boston are his cabinet just 15 months yes you are correct he is incredibly popular he has retained his popularity while the president's popularity has gone down he has lost support of his own party the party that led him to the presidency he is increasingly isolated and by losing by losing mr bush or not mr

mo. is. you know in a very uncomfortable position 'd all the latest news in 'd brazil from brazil is that he could move should port of the military there a number of ministers. come from the military from the armed forces they could just leave the government leaving him even more isolated there are calls from all quarters start with former president ferdinand that he got of those will that he should simply resigned and all the vice-president. modelled to take over i know there's already been talk potential talk of impeachment how likely is that. that the impeachment is a complicated route because even the president is removed according to the constitution before he serves half of this storm we have to have

a new election to pick a successor in that case the vice president does not become the president there are political interests that that is so for instance the party of former president who is in not to love a supernova could be interested in having new elections but it looks like we are going to go to a different and alter on all turn out to brought to either extend this until early next year or to somehow the minute there is a kind of forcing convincing mr both from not only that he had his run and the best thing to do under to circumstances including into context of code that that will make a massive impact in brazil that his best. the best way to go is that he steps down in the low and middle domo don't is duly elected vice

president to serve the rest of the tour just to can text allies why this is happening and and why there is a potential criminal investigation going on here into boston are his family i know fighting corruption was a central issue for about an hour in his $28000.00 presidential campaign but now members of his own family are under criminal investigation how is he at the moment but outed by the public. well. the problem with both from our read has of an inner circle where 3 of his sons are part of it one is a senator that has been accused of acts of corruption there is another younger son that is now under davis investigation by the supreme court for 'd acts that are not only involving corruption acts involving attacks owned a constitution and so he is isolated he doesn't bushell noddle has

a very difficult time understanding that in a democracy the president does not have absolute power is checked by other powers and by congress etc he lived he has an enormous difficulty understanding that and he has allowed the relationship with certain hota the minister of justice the former minister to deteriorate by trying to interfere directly into federal police the federal police in brazil it's a very credible you should too should used to wonder that led the investigations. eventually led to the prison of the imprisonment of former president lula many many other people accused of corruption so it's a buy in the eyes of most procedures it's a credible use to to show the president in contrast has lost credibility the economy was already in very bad shape even before kovac 1000 hit brazil

and he has very few options and it looks like the best option the most honorable option for him and that's most analysts in brazil saying that in former politician those and current political issues is that he would spared a country a lot of suffer. 3 by just you know resigning the president as she always devise bros to take over palace of terror the director of the woodrow wilson center as brazil institute thank you for sharing your thoughts with us on al-jazeera. now at least 12 ranges have been killed in an attack on the national park in the democratic republic of congo several more people were injured in the ambush the west in the parks history the wrong guy is home to haul the wilds population of mountain gorillas in the last 20 years at least 180 ranges have been killed while

protecting animals that. are still clark is a professor of international politics at the school of oriental and african studies he says the attack doesn't surprise him. there had been big clashes between the major rebel group that suspected of carrying out this attack and a group called the f.d.a. . and the congolese army had been at each other's throats to several weeks now and it does look like the f.d.a. a lot have used this attack on the national park rangers as a white to show their strength and as a way to try to put pressure on the congolese army to back off i think perhaps if there is a surprising element about this attack it's the style of the civilian death toll typically when there are attacks in the reagan national pocket that usually involves the kidnapping of a foreign tourists what we haven't seen congolese civilians being killed in such large numbers inside a national park and we certainly haven't seen this number of ranges killed so in

that sense that this is very unusual that the f.t.l. are is i who to dominate said rebel group the reason that it's fighting against the congolese army at the margins is that the congolese government is in the process of renewing our relations with the rwandan government and that's a 20 doma knighted government that the rwandan government has said to congo you need to write in the f.t. a lot in we see this reaching threat across the border we see tutsi civilians being killed inside congo the f.t. a lot have had a recent history of going across the border in into rwanda and so that's the bigger context to this attack today. now unilateral ceasefire and yemen has been extended for one month that's according to a spokesman for the saudi foreign minister and there was no to retrace his dick head of the u.n. secretary general cold frog level cease fire because of the current a virus yemen's health care system is already on the verge of collapse and more

international travel in indonesia is now on hold until june yeah well yeah i always travel before it's the only time i can see my family i'm sad but there is nothing we can do we must follow the government's instructions on a normal day a station like this one would be packed with people and it would be even busier in the lead up to that won't happen this year stopping people from travelling to their hometowns should help slow the spread of the virus but it also brings new challenges for those who've lost their income and say they can no longer afford life in indonesia's big city. hours before the ban came in this was the scene at one jakarta bus depot social distancing gave way to desperation thousands of people trying to get out of the capital before it was too late barring the army because of the announcement from the president about the travel ban many people panicked here
