10000. was seen riding a jet ski in the capital brasilia his actions are in defiance of advice on social distancing from his own health ministry also has dismissed growing alarm over latin america's worst outbreak as a neurosis. or one of the world's most respected medical journals is described as the biggest threat to his country but the president and supporters they're refusing to support him measures saying the economy must come 1st. as this. is brazil recorded more than 10900 deaths on saturday supporters of president. on the capital brasilia to defend their battered leader and demand their names down measures they rallied in front of the country's supreme court angry after it allowed an inquiry into the president for allegedly interfering in a police corruption case against. all this happening while

a study by top brazilian universities says the country is still weeks away from reaching the peak of infections and predicting more than $60000.00 deaths by next month the highest death toll anywhere besides the united states in a scathing editorial the british medical journal the lancet says both so narrow who continues to dismiss the effects of the outbreak is the biggest threat to easing the crisis the governor of brazil's most populous states extended a lockdown in this region until the end of the month backpedaling on an earlier promise to start reopening the state on monday and implicitly attacking will so now . we're going through the worst moments of this pain dimmick but it's not recognised not say not understood by those who are blinded by hate or by personal ambition. medical officials in religion nato and at least 4 other major cities have

warned that their hospital systems are on the verge of collapse among them and now it's in the heart of the amazon region where 500 more coffins arrived by boat to deal with the surge and deaths nobody knows exactly how many died to cope with 19 because of insufficient the late testing for instance. since the 2nd most populated state in brazil we have only 3000 cases but then we have almost 100000 suspected cases that have gone tested so far so the numbers are clearly much worse than we know the government has absolutely no idea of the true extent of the problem and. health minister himself has admitted to lying through the spends our money and already bleak situation that promises to become even harsher as the

weeks go by and the. well as they try to coronaviruses in hong kong pro-democracy protests that are heading back to the streets it follows scuffles in parliament last week when pro beijing and pro-democracy politicians for david who should take control of a house committee let's go straightaway to difficult part of his at a shopping center in hong kong where some protesters have gathered it was pretty quiet a little bit earlier had to feel it's a scene no. make a few minutes ago this shopping mall was full of protest as they were all singing and chanting and flatty all the social distancing rules at the moment in hong kong only 8 people are allowed to gather all be any more than that they'll be charged more than $250.00 us dollars but a few minutes ago someone came in shouting that riot police would be coming in and they're getting ready to storm the mall so suddenly we saw most of the crowds

disperse now this scene is being played out in several shopping malls across hong kong this is now the new way that people are protesting here in hong kong what they did which is very confusing for police also as they gather in small groups usually wearing face masks the problem here is that everyone in hong kong is wearing face masks including myself as you can see. due to the coronavirus restrictions and people just being cautious so it's hard for police to discern who is a bonafide shopper in these malls and who is a protester until they start chanting or shouting slogans so what's been happening is this is cut being called the start to hong kong's protest movement and it's somewhat of a structured start nic so why is there this a new push for the protest movement following the coronavirus. well nick there's

a sense that over the past 7 few months when hong kong was battling the corona virus outbreak people had been distracted and during this period the government had taken taken there a chance to. make some stealth move says they're calling to crush hong kong's democracy movement and this includes arresting a large number of pro-democracy activists which didn't have much to do with the previous minute that were seen as big figures in hong kong's democracy movement along 7 with the changing the nature of the hong kong liaison office now that office. usually reports back to china and is just there for monitoring events in hong kong well recently the hong kong government and the beijing government announced that that office will now have the power to supervise events in hong kong beijing government has also called this protest movement particularly the violent protesters a virus that's angered many protesters particularly finding it insensitive at

a time when the world is fighting a global pandemic mick david thanks very much indeed devika paul in that the shopping center in hong kong where crowds are gathering in some numbers now if you have to says it shut down a privately owned kenyan plane in somalia earlier this week in a statement to the african union it says its troops mistakenly believed the plane was on a suicide mission and reacted to protect its company but then in the southwest 6 people were killed when the aircraft carrying medical supplies to somalia went down . they are not sure the plan to get people back to work in the united kingdom but it won't be the same as before. and find out what former president barack obama said about donald trump and it's time to leave the country.

hello are all the wet picture across much of western europe the catus means to me end of the last year as it is bringing with it some pretty heavy rain particularly into these areas across into france but it's nice ahead of that here is the coast of the netherlands people out enjoying the fresh air and the sunshine and some very nice case skies across these failed down into the southeast of poland now the rain is on the way that tube is going to take a couple of days before it reaches southern poland meanwhile through sunday it's really this rain here across northern areas a spade the southwest of france the southeast that really will bring some particularly torrential downpours we could be saying as much as $180.00 millimeters over the next 2 or 3 days at the same time temperatures across the u.k. across in scandinavia they have really dip down the winds are coming from the cold north and northeast and so a lot colder than it has been in feeling even colder than that in the wind 12 celsius in london 13 in paris meanwhile through monday this rain really steamy across much of france throughout germany and eventually on his way towards poland

as i say some very heavy amounts of rain as well over monday across much of germany meanwhile more showers sunday across these coastal areas of morocco on towards algeria and as we go through the next couple of days some pretty strong winds as well they could be severe at times the taken early to coastal algeria and sheen is here. to. talk to al jazeera squad who of course were there when you saw. document for the 1st story we listen to after the war saying you'll have been to go build you know the stage of you but we will not be with you we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter on how does era save humanity i really are really not getting anywhere near it.

again you're watching al-jazeera or mind of our top stories of and libya's u.n. recognized government is promising to retaliate after forces loyal to the portly for have to attack the capital's only functioning at least 3 civilians were killed in nearby residential areas. south korea's president says there is no reason to panic after a new coronavirus outbreak in seoul linked to nightclubs we enjoy in praise his country's efforts to contain the pandemic but warned of a 2nd wave later this year. brazil's president gibe also is facing renewed criticism over his response to the pandemic after he was seen right to get jet ski on the day the national death toll past 1000. british prime minister brian johnson

is due to give a briefing later on sunday outlining plans to ease the u.k.'s lockdown it's expected to involve getting people back to work with changes to the way officers operate and the way people commute it won't be the same as before if barker reports from london. they are guidelines for unlocking the lockdown starting with how we travel to work. before the pandemic $325000.00 passengers boarded london underground trains every 15 minutes if 2 meters social distancing is applied only $50000.00 could board in that time one solution is to stagger travel times putting an end to the idea of a normal office hours you've got infrastructure that was not out. to statics. people. act and

actually having the guidance around this is really quite. cycling is enjoying or in a song is under lockdown companies are being advised to install bigger bike racks allowing commuters to avoid public transport and in the office itself workers are being told to sit either side by side or back to back desks sharing should be avoided and some firms are being advised to install plexiglas between workstations and discourage access to communal areas such as kitchens. and when it comes to shed pens and staplers they're now off limits. understandably ages our precious time many offices air is recycled moments and tree using also to get in and out early. taps after after too much i suspect coming through in my judgment it was still up. for people to meet.

physically pharmacists in supermarkets already open with customers and shopkeepers separated by screens. when other retailers such as clothes shops reopen they're expected to introduce one way flow systems hundreds of construction sites have already opened with many companies setting their own rules and regulations the governments expected to reveal plans to help hotels receive guests again but for now bars and restaurants are expected to remain closed for many workers the advice remains unequivocal or those who can work from home should work from home when it comes to restoring the life we once knew there appears to be no one size fits all solution needs barkha al-jazeera london the u.s. state of new york is investigating more than 70 cases of

a possible coronavirus related syndrome affecting children symptoms include swollen blood vessels and heart problems 3 children have died from the condition we were laboring under the impression that young people were not affected by covered 1000 and that was actually good news right the vulnerable populations were older people people with co-morbidities bite the one of the few rays of good news was young people weren't affected we're not so sure that that is the fact that anymore. toddler elementary school children are presenting symptoms similar to. the disease or toxic shock like syndrome where the condition has baffled medical professionals because only some of the children tested positive for the virus christian tsunami has more now from new york the governor said that these children did not go to the hospital presenting

symptoms of coded 19 the symptoms that they showed when they visited their health care practitioners were fever and skin rashes and swollen glands in extreme cases what happens is. inflammation of the blood vessels and heart damage these are symptoms that are associated with cows saki disease as he said and toxic shock syndrome these are really rare diseases so the fact that there's been 73 of them in new york state is considered very unusual and suspect and then when they went back and tested these children afterwards they found out that the majority of them had been exposed to the corona virus and had antibodies in their system so now they are looking at a possible link between the corona virus and these children and the outbreak of the phenomenon that they're suffering the centers for disease control has actually asked new york state now to develop a response criteria for this phenomenon basically what are the symptoms and how

should it be treated there also partnering with other institutions here in new york to see if there's a possible genetic link between these cases that weakness perhaps triggered by the corona virus but really a lot of questions a lot of concern but no real answers right now certainly worrying situation for parents who thought that their kids at least were protected from from any serious consequences with this virus. america's top infectious disease expert dr anthony fox he is in south korean to not come into contact with someone who has covered 19 she is a senior member of the white house response team and will go into what's been described as modified koren scene of the making the low risk contact list for 2 other officials on the task force will go to isolation for a full 2 weeks the number of coronavirus cases globally is now past $4000000.00 with the united states accounting for around a 3rd and now the former president barack obama has described donald trump's handling of the pandemic as an absolute chaotic disaster obama made the remarks in

a private conference call with former members of his administration he says the trauma team appears to have a mind set of what's in it for me and to heck with everyone else the u.s. has reported about 1300000 infections in nearly 80000 deaths eric cantor is a us political analyst and has written a book on the republican party and he says that president obama's comments may have been strategic. we're talking about a former president speaking to about 3000 of his former employees people who worked for him in the white house people who understand acutely how important it is to keep things and work in the fact that the president makes such biting comments about the current occupant of the white house you one has to six-pack that the president actually wanted these comments to get out the question is why would he want them out and why would he want them out now given that the united states is

confronting this virus this pandemic knowing that the president certainly will attack and again you americans are still left reeling trying to basically fend for themselves as that but the pandemic is reaching now upwards of 80000 people and the number of deaths that have been caused by this virus president barack obama is attempting to do at this moment in time right now is to unify the democratic party and to also signal not only to those who work in the administration but also to those as you mentioned who may be who may be on the fence right now who may be not ready to actually get behind a joe biden's candidacy i think what the former president is doing is signaling that he is working for the democratic nominee and that he needs everyone on board and he's making it clear that he too will be working as he said and as it was leaked he will be working as hard as he can to alexa joe biden in the fall. now

lebanon is slowly emerging from its weeks of closures of course further damage to an economy that was already in freefall off the months of political and financial turmoil and is in a horror reports now from beirut the hospitality sector it's paying a heavy price. lebanon is reopening after a 2 months lock down a major outbreak of the corona virus appears to have been averted but the pandemic devastated and already collapsing economy many businesses didn't survive the test being before some of our projects we had to take that i decisions if we need to go we closed humber on may 1st it was sad to stay in my whole life maybe for us we closed a wonderful place a wonderful projects that couldn't sustain financially at all anymore in many restaurants will be reopening with the recent collapse of the local currency believe it's become more expensive to operate them but this sector was hit hard months before because of lebanon's worst financial crisis in decades nearly one

outlets have closed since september. 150000 employees are employed in this sector. translates into one 150000 families who live from the sector 25000 were laid off between october and january we don't know the numbers now but i can tell you 120000 employees are sitting at home today. in another challenge restaurants that are back in business are obliged to operate a 30 percent capacity to protect against the coronavirus rising poverty and inflation also means fewer customers restaurant owners are asking for relief from taxes and loans to be reduced hotels are also asking for assistance but the state is close to bankruptcy the hospitality sector used to be a pillar of the economy contribution 10 per cent of the g.d.p. it's also the biggest employer after the public sector. at least 18000 hotel

employees have lost their jobs in recent months losses have been accumulating for years blamed partly on land being closed off due to the war in neighboring syria as well as political instability that has kept tourists away now the pandemic has brought the sector to a halt with closing simply because we lost the hope of. a better tomorrow. to continue. for 70 years the bristol hotel hosted international conferences and dignitaries never closing even during the 15 year civil war that ended in 1990 this landmark is now a symbol of what many describe as one of lebanon's darkest times. beirut. australia's most populous state is said to me is destructions reopening restaurants playgrounds and outdoor pools study on friday rules on businesses and social gatherings will be relaxed in new south wales this comes after a drop in the number of infections as part of

mean egypt in some form or another has been a state of emergency for over 60 years with very few respite from that. often times the authorities will use real problems and as an excuse to dramatically expand its powers and justify series of measures that may have nothing to do with the problem in question as we're seeing in some of the measures undertaken in this particular emergency law authorization and so human rights watch is rightfully concerned that the authorities once again are trying to add to their toolkit in terms of repression under the pretext of protecting public health. and the reality is that unfortunately we're seeing 2 sets of measures some that are legitimate and some that aren't and very reasonable fear of abuse because we've seen. abuse of authority be a persistent feature of authoritarianism in egypt for several decades and the

current situation is one of the most repressive periods in egypt's modern history so human rights watch is going to raise those concerns and worries about what what could transpire from this new set of authorizations and they're totally legitimate in doing so. this is out there these are the top stories and libya's un recognized government is promising to retaliate after an attack on the capital's only functioning airport forces loyal to warlord who for have to fight a barrage of rockets poured in tripoli on saturday at least 3 civilians were killed in nearby residential areas south korea's president says there's no reason to panic after a new corona virus outbreak in seoul linked to nightclubs enjoy in praised his country's efforts to contain the pandemic but warned of a 2nd wave of infections later this year to get them. through claw if we fail to
