northeastern. counting the cost on al-jazeera. al-jazeera. every. al-jazeera. hello and welcome to this news hour with me kim fidel a dog coming up in the next 60 minutes. operation warp speed that leaves big in a means test u.s. president donald trump announces a supercharge coronavirus vaccine effort but his hopes that it will be ready by the

is and don't match with doctor's advice. as new infections rise faster cross brazil the latest health minister has resigned after only a few weeks in the job. 1200 families are quarantined in bangladesh to try to stop the virus spreading through a cramped camp for him to refugees. and mass testing ramps up in the worst affected parts of kenya many there are worried that they'll be forced into quarantine. also a hong kong police watchdog upholds actions against protesters provoking anger from those who accuse offices of intel is the. us president donald trump says he hopes his operation warp speed project will develop a crowd of ours that same by the end of the year or shortly afterwards he said. the

f. it will be unlike anything the us has seen since the development of atomic weapons during world war 2 trump added that the u.s. is working with other governments to get the vaccine as soon as possible and this preparing ways to distribute it docked isn't a health experts have said in the past that a vaccine wouldn't be ready until well into next year experts throughout the government have been collaborating to evaluate roughly 100 vaccine candidates from all over the world they have identified 14 that they believe are the most promising and they're working to narrow that list still further so we started off with over 100 we're down to 14 and we have some really interesting choices to be made doing very well through operation warp speed the federal government is providing unprecedented support and resources to safely expedite the trials moving on to record record record speed. a white house correspondent complete how could joins

us now live kimberly apart from this if it going at record record record speed what else did donald trump have to say. well the u.s. president for his part is really pushing this public private partnership to try and get a vaccine but astonishingly he also acknowledged the right never be a vaccine and americans are just going to have to deal with that and get back to work is essentially the message he says look at vaccine or no vaccine we're back you fight through it and he said that america will meet the moment you might not even need a vaccine it's a little bit unusual given the fact the u.s. president is trumpeting the fact that this is going to be very successful and seen nothing like it but we might not even meet the goal it's unusual to kind of water down the announcement as you're making it and i think that's because the u.s. president acknowledged in conversations with reporters asking questions afterwards

that the united states might not be the country that 1st comes up with a vaccine it might be china it might be one of the european partners and the u.s. president acknowledged that saying that if that happens in fact that americans say he says have no ego and will work with whoever comes up with it 1st but the reality is it seems very clear the u.s. president is hoping that the united states will be 1st that's why he's put in charge of this operation warp speed not only a 4 star army general but a executive in charge of vaccine research from a top pharmaceutical company. meanwhile can really there is a political battle going on over this multi-trillion dollar coronavirus aid package a new package that is being presented by the democrats what can you tell us on that front. well it's a big package 1st of all in terms of its price tag $312.00 trillion dollars and that's in addition to the other multi-trillion dollar packages that are already

signed into law under this administration under this congress but this one seems to be running into a hitch well we expect it will pass in the house of representatives controlled by democrats it looks like it so well it looks very unlikely it will pass in the republican controlled u.s. senate and in fact the u.s. president says if it reaches his desk it will be dead on arrival here's the problem the view of this white house is that you can't spend your way into prosperity and recover from all of this and they also say that there isn't enough money to pay people to stay home and definitely their prescription for getting things back on track for bringing back jobs is not to pay people to stay home but instead to get them back to work the problem is many americans don't feel safe there needs to be broader testing but the us president has even kind of suggested that that is over rated so in terms of where things stand to very different philosophical arguments it does essential mean that this debate that's going on right now is somewhat

meaningless unless there are major changes to this legislation thank you that calls to elements that white house correspondent kimberly hell could. corona virus has been to people in every land american country but the response varies brazil has the highest number of cases on the continent with more than 200000 positive tests the health minister has handed in his resignation off less than a month on the job nelson had disagreed with president jaya balsa dato about how to deal with this fire in numbers mexico just recorded its highest number of new daily infections just as many hospitals are almost full chillies capital something is reimposing quarantine restrictions off to a resurgence in cases there but the government in colombia has allowed some essential businesses to reopen that's after a fall in the infection right following a 7 week long let's begin with muscled who's in sao paulo in brazil has done

so as a result brazil is the worst affected country in the region now the health minister has resigned after just a few weeks on the job why. yes this is the 2nd resignation or leaving the ministry of health here in brazil during this great pandemic that it's hitting gave brazil now with more than $206000.00 of infected confirmed cases here in brazil and more than 14000 victims because of corn a virus here in brazil the minister of an innocent diet also has asked for his resignation today from the president because of the same reasons that x. minister also. left also his position in the ministry of health because of this this agreement between the ministers and presidents president lee was not

always was asking for a vertical isolation not a horizontal one and the ministers didn't accept this and they said that this will be effect affecting brazil and a very bad way also the same time president in the last couple of days asked the minister of health to approve using clojure queen on the early stages. infected people and patients here in brazil but he didn't accept that and he said that we can't use. medication now and it's now under a testing day here in brazil and at the same time also minister of health accept and supported look down in some places here in brazil but. not always was asking to reopen the economy as fast as we can so this is.

main reason of leaving. the position of minister ministry of healthier brazil for the 2nd time also this is the 9th minutes. he leaves the government of president was not or since he was in power from 15 months only saw there is a real political conflict inside. presidency and the government the federal government here in brazil at the same time we have a real conflict between the president and the governors that they are taking a lot of measurements to to face virus and the spreading of corner virus the very 1st spreading here in brazil meanwhile those numbers continue to grow thank you for that there tis how some muscle their life from sao paolo. well let's get a picture now from don homan who is live for us in mexico city so john mexico is reporting

its largest daily rise in corona virus cases since the outbreak began what are officials projecting about when the peak will be and how is the health system coping. well in terms of the peak they're saying it's now they're saying that after this that the numbers are going to start going downhill in terms of if the medical system the health system in mexico can cope the government saying that it can the president came out today friday and said that the beds capacity was at 50 percent maybe a bit higher than that but the government's definitely saying that it's got enough beds intensive care beds and ventilators and the medical health care professionals that we've also been talking to saying the same thing that there is still room in hospitals especially in mexico city which is really the height at the heart of the epidemic in the country they are complaining about a lack of protective equipment and also the fact that there is confusion about

where patients should go to there isn't that to say which hospitals are still have beds available and occasionally that doesn't really seem to be running in the correct way so people can be directed to the wrong hospitals losing time and occasionally losing lives that way but the real control the city in the country in the question right now is all about the 2nd part you talked about the projected next step which is reopening the country now that's going to start really all monday when some money supply which is being called mrs politics of hope which of have very few cases are going to begin reopening and then on the 1st of june other regions in the country is going to start gradually reopening now as you said there this is a week in which the country's had the biggest daily increase in the number of cases the 1st time it's jumped by more than 2001 day and also the biggest daily increase in the death toll so a lot of questions over whether it's co is doing this too soon especially because

the coronavirus sar in the country has got tell has actually admitted in the past that the real numbers are likely to be 8 times or more more than the actual numbers that the government's reporting because there's such a. the level of testing in the country says a lot of questions about that but he has said and the president has said in the past this isn't just about health this is also about a lot of mexicans on the breadline trying to get an income trying to earn a living and at the moment a lot of them on able to do this there's an economic component to that that they're trying to weigh up and remember that mexico more than half of the workforce is in the informal economy which means that they're not getting sort of the benefits that those in the formal economy would get so that's what the mets can governments trying to balance up at the moment and trying to get it right so that they reopen people can start earning their livings but this doesn't get out of control we've

yet to see yet if they are going to be able to strike that balance effectively i think that that is john heilemann there live from mexico city. well now to our latin america you see a new man who's in the train capital santiago to see if there's been a resurgence in santiago how is the health system there coping. it's an explosion i think that's the problem way to mention it 5 times the number of cases that we had just a couple of weeks ago and hospitals are near collapsing we're we are right now of course there are many many people this is the emergency entrance to one of the main public hospitals of the capital and there are no practically no ambulances here and that's because a lot of them are tied up at other hospitals where they are lining up to bring in the patients some of the been waiting for 10 hours to go in or to allow the patients in those ambulances to get in clearly if it hasn't reached the saturation

point it is very very close to it the president said today that when you actually went to the airport to receive almost 300 new ventilators another personal protection material that was just flowing in this is happening almost every day but there isn't enough medical personnel to help man all this equipment and so he has appealed to chileans to understand that this is a very dire situation that everybody has to pitch in and stick together and that was a none too subtle criticism of the opposition and members of the of the doctors of the medical profession that have been criticizing the government for being much too slow to take more drastic action to contain the spread of the virus especially in the poorer areas of the capital yeah where the number the largest number of deaths and infections are and so that there's going to be a full lockdown of quarantine citywide that starts at 10 pm local time

tonight and from then on he says that the guy the government will guarantee of this truth and medicine for all those people that live. from hand to mouth day to day from apartment for all jobs but whether or not the government will be able to fulfill that promise and also the promise of having enough beds in critical care to take care of the people who need it is going to be is yet to be seen thanks for that that is a latin america editor you see in human life in santiago. well as we mentioned colombia's government has allowed some businesses to reopen after a 7 week lock down around 2000000 people don't vital jobs are back at work the getting there isn't the same as it was. the reports from. officials are taking no chances at this bus station strictly enforcing coronavirus distancing measures to control the number of passengers in each bus inside the station. as

more than 2000000 people in this sprawling city go back to work for the 1st time in 3 days when i know i am a bit worried but it reassures me that they are forcing order and preventive measures we've got to help buy a motorcycle to be safe but for now it's not an option i officially the national quarantine continues here until may 25th but traffic is back and president has allowed the reopening of key sectors of the economy and for many it couldn't happen soon enough here at this construction site workers are back but have to go through temperature checks in painstaking this infection process for themselves and their equipment will be and. we complied with all the requirements and protocols of the city government unfortunately we were allowed to restart this is very important sector of the economy it employs many people it was key to be able to reopen and in

a safe manner. despite the protocols the return of economic activity remains controversial the mayor of time particularly as. and a staunch critic of the national government decisions to reopen saying that the number of koran of iris cases keeps rising on a daily basis and that the peak of infections well only arrived at some point in late june. but the measures relaxed more and authorized people are crowding the streets especially informal vendors in others who live hand to mouth i to lessen the impact the mayor has imposed a color coded zoning system people living in high risk areas need to remain home with help with gates and police and forcing orders i think obviously the government is in a tough dilemma because we all knew that they face the risk of opening too soon and that could create a 2nd wave of contagion but if they didn't that would even create more problems on the economy but at the same time it's unclear if the government has increased its

capabilities on testing the i.c.u. capabilities throughout the country and contact tracing a risky but some say necessary move in a country with many economic needs although with infection still rising and the number of available intensive care units shrinking it could end up being too much too soon i listen that m.p.'s. around is reporting its highest number of coronavirus infections in more than a month more than 2000 cases of it i'll start a new trust as we discovered iran has gradually lifted restrictions since the end of last month. germany's are very dear at lax the entry rules for travelers from the e.u. the travel zone and the u.k. quarantine will only be recommended to those coming from countries with high numbers of infections germany still has a warning in place until mid june against unnecessary travel abroad despite the

easing of regulations among european partners. more than $1200.00 families being placed in quarantine at the world's largest refugee camp in bangladesh the decision comes a day after the 1st covert 19 case was detected june reports in conscious bizarre preparations to combat the spread of covert 19 were underway well before the 1st case of the disease was confirmed among the writing a refugee population. extremely concerned about the devastating toll the virus could take on one of the world's most vulnerable communities the united nations refugee agency has been working hard to construct isolation shelters and quarantine facilities at the moment the target is to have 1900 isolation treatment beds available which would be both for the refugee population and the local bangladeshi population but at the moment it doesn't reach the tigris. around 1000000 rohingya refugees reside here

a place where sanitation has long been inadequate an area so densely packed that social distancing is nearly impossible it's because refugee population in the area we have had more than 40000 people living briskly commerce it's very very challenging and in terms of hygiene motion we have established handle she still is all over the camps. for months anxiety and alarm have been growing in the camps as a population so traumatized by the violence they fled in neighboring me and more now has to contend with the threat unlike any they've known before. aid workers are only concerned about the health of the rohingya you can see you know there's a big cost community and god says build up not just joining us so how to really make sure that it was extended to work towards done. going up you can see more than 100 bangladeshi host committee people are already infected and up to 90. growing

the refugees have long dreaded this moment living as they do in the kind of squalid conditions that are ripe for the spread of the coronavirus realizing again what little sympathy their plight in genders from an international community that continues to largely ignore them. is here. in the months since it was declared a pandemic a corona virus has had a disastrous impact on industries all of the world and even companies thriving have found the book. boom comes with a big costs take amazon for example the online retailing giant says it could post a loss in the 2nd quarter of this year it's spending huge amounts to keep up with surging sales including hiring new staff paying overtime and covering increased shipping costs netflix has 16000000 new subscribers but we could currencies mean those customers aren't as valuable as they were before the streaming companies also unable to fill new shows at the moment the video game industry though is one that seeing few downsides is people shelter at home and play online games sales in the

us hit their highest level in more than a decade and march what about this ryan patel is a global business executive with the drucker school of management to clement graduate university he joins us now live from los angeles thank you for your time so apart from the video game industry is anyone doing well out of this. well you know one of the things is always winners and losers and in this case there are quite a few other winners you think about the cleaning companies cleaning services clorox and those companies are doing really well don't forget about the grocery business as well even though people are not able to go in companies in the u.s. like kroger or whole foods have seen an increase of profitability and you know you think about the delivery services with food perhaps is another one but you know another one that's kind of sneaky is the fitness industry not the gyms per se but companies like peloton and kaho maps those have been on the rise as well so it's

interesting to see who is who is profitable but also you mentioned even if you're profitable keeping up with demand is also sometimes an issue as we've seen with some of the consumer packaged good businesses it's hard to keep the shelves filled for companies here in the united states like wal-mart and target and costco to keep that demand coming up there how do you think consumer spending consumer attitudes will change as a result of coronavirus you talked there about the fitness industry i mean a some of these changes going to be for good to have people won't want to go back to gyms. well i think there's a mix it is interesting because i talk a lot of people like those who always love to go into the gym and love the people they're all going to go but there's a lot a group in the middle that does there is uncertainty about confidence and i think what what is not just for the fitness industry but amusement park industries like the world's about to reopen at least partially some of it next week what is the confidence of the consumer of safety and i think that is the actual question

excluding the extreme the people who want to go or not if you can't create that confidence and safety for tourism hospitality then there's got to be a downfall and there are going to be changes i think you're going to see in the short term it's going to be a whole different experience it's not going to be the same when you think about masks and cleaning protocols and checking temperatures i think we're going to see that for a little bit going forward and it's up to the industries to really integrate that in a way that it is a good experience and that's going to be key because consumer confidence at the end of the day is going to help drive how we recover through the crowd of ours this may be my next question how important is it that businesses adat to this post khurana coronavirus well then are there any examples of businesses that you think of done really really well in that respect. i think one of the things in the credit i was does most most companies are reactive and through uncertainty i think leaders need to be a lot more proactive and i think if you take what happened with twitter over the

last week they announced that working from home will be for amber or at our option for those jobs that will allow it and i think for them to take a stance like that for their employee base and their consumer base who understands that that's a pretty big stamp which obviously will have ripple effects into other industries that are looking at it's not just a tech company thing i think people are going to have to address what is the balance of the work they look like is work from home mean a few more days i think we've all seen the typical stereotype stereotype for many companies well nobody can work from home because not productive well we've obviously many people have been productive so how do you take that learning into what workplace culture looks like and that will definitely change the conversation about that and obviously the 2nd piece that i think is going to change is the conversation around mental health and wellness and how companies really need to include that in their business model 1 going forward because consumers want to see that and i think that comes with innovation and new technology becoming more efficient really good to get your analysis thanks for that that's ryan patel there

a global business executive with the truck a school of management. mass testing for crowd a virus is underway in the worst affected areas of kenya but many are not tend to be checked for fear of being forced into quarantine catherine so i reports from the capital nairobi jared on young child is a call the 1970 s. and he walks is a god in acquiring consent he says he was infected there in march and after about a month was discharged from hospital his employer paid the bill of $400.00 he tells us his biggest problem is the stigma surrounding infection with unity of about people who are afraid of me at work i can't even get close to anyone they shun me and say i'm grown a virus even at home people don't want to associate with me to feel lonely and quite sad sometimes. the woman who recorded this feature for al jazeera remains in quarantine after a reason she returning from china she says she didn't expect the poor sanitary

a major trading hub mof there think opponent one thing is also going on. but many kenyans are reluctant to get tested some say they're afraid will be forced into quarantine health experts are concerned that the government emergency response strategy may feel to flatten the cough. home he says his lackey to be alive and he's ready to return to walk he also hopes that his neighbors friends and colleagues will soon stop seeing him as

i want to remind all of our top stories this hour u.s. president donald trump has announced details of operation was a speech effort to fast track a coronavirus vaccine he says it will be unlike anything the u.s. is seen hopes to have a vaccine by the end of the year or shortly after. u.s. house of representatives is debating a new 3 trillion dollars stimulus bill to help revive an economy ravaged by the coronavirus pandemic but the president who opposes the bill says it will be dead on arrival when it reaches the senate. brazil's health minister has resigned after less than a month from the position nelson taisha took over in mid april after the previous health minister was sacked by president dr wilson out of the outbreak nearly $14000.00 people have died in brazil. roberto is

a founder of the brazilian report an online news magazine he joins us on skype from sao paulo. so is it just a case that the president also not want somebody simply on the job who agrees with . exactly 'd because of the reasons why nelson to. resign was pushed out of the cabinet are the same reasons that his predecessor was pushed out of the cabinet because he didn't agree with most of the in 2 major things the need for social as elation which was another is adamantly against and the use of drug sick lorikeet in no time a lariat drug with no proven proof that it is effective against 4 the 19 to coronavirus patients which the president defense. minister taste has said in the past that social isolation is the only medicine we know so far against over 19

depends emic and that people should be careful when talking about or especially using hydroxy clore kid what about the incoming replacement what do we know about head but he has not been confirmed yet but according to our sources the deputy health minister which is an army general is the frontrunner for the job but he has reportedly accepted mr bill sinatra's guidelines mr porson out of stance on social as elation and the coroutine and his a logistics expert. working for the army he is not a health experts that has been met with severe criticism by members of the sates if a community by members of the political establishment in brazil but so far people are waiting to see. 'd the trade because this administration has been known for

leaking information and then backpedaling before things are confirmed we have seen it the crown a virus ravaged economies around the world people have on the breadline now unable to 8 how is brazil doing. well it has been devastating for brazil because we have a very informal economy a lot of people depend on making ends meet by going day to day and earning their revenue and a lot of them are just simply not possible it's not possible for them to do that right now because almost every single state is under some sort of foreign team and that the more we see the more we. realize that it's going to ravage that residual economy some estimates have the number of unemployed people after the pandemic between 203035 1000000 people the g.d.p. is going to fall by at least 5 percent this year according to the economy ministry

so things are looking pretty bleak right now and the problem is because the president is so adamantly against social isolation that incites his supporters to break with social isolation groups we are stuck in the worst of 2 worlds socialism nations not working and people are still spreading the virus but they commonly is not properly functioning as well so it's we're losing on both ends thank you time. founder of the brazilian reporters thank you. our coverage of the pandemic continues later for now a look at some other world news wesson and conflict in central african republic it's threatening to plunge the country back into full blown war fighting has intensified between ethnic groups and armed gangs and aid workers say they're not

able to help people being displaced amid interest reports. this is the moment when i'm fighters descended on the northern town of delhi the united nations says 30 people were killed here at the start of the holy month of ramadan 90000 others have been displaced including humanitarian workers. and i don't mean that. computers radios. most of those workers at ready for their own well being in traumatized so that makes the delivery of assistance to the people in. a very very. such fighting between armed ethnic militias has forced hundreds of thousands of people to flee across the border into cameroon chad the democratic republic of

congo and the republic of congo they've joined nearly 700000 others forced from their hooves since the civil war broke out in the central african republic between seleka and to block a militias and the government in 2012 a peace agreement signed in june 2017 between the government and 13 of the 14 main factions failed to stop the attacks it provides for disarmament demobilization and reintegration of fighters. former fighters from the rebel groups along with other ethnic militias now operate in and controlled areas like diamonds and gold our mind while some handed their weapons following the peace deal many armed groups of not nearly 3 years later some demobilized fighters say their expectations of not being backed but the government says it's doing everything it can to address those concerns. thousands of combatants want them to do other things

to be able to work that's what they're looking for a while they don't have that. they will or not a source of income that's what the. experts say the violence in the central african republic has the potential to destabilize the entire region you use certainly might see refugees. in the country and you certainly might see. the banditry that you see in. other than a tree that you see miss and you. certainly can see it out happening and you certainly i think we're definitely 'd. actually. i think we're going to see. you know the presidential election is settle for december and tribal loyalties and power struggles often determine who leads the country many humanitarian workers fear the ongoing attacks and affect the outcome

of that vote and if the result fails to end the violence that will have a devastating impact on millions of people already facing poverty and hardship how many trees al-jazeera. dozens of palestinians have been injured after israeli forces fired tear gas that happened in some way a village in the occupied west bank a crowd was holding friday prayers in an area threatened by annexation illegal israeli settlements have already been built and much of the area around the village . the issue of an extension was discussed by european union foreign ministers during a video link meeting israel's new coalition government which will be sworn in on sunday plans to absorb 30 percent of the west bank including large parts of the jordan valley by the time being aware for its part the role that due.

to do provide to action in the pool i watch any election in shop or negotiated. for sure port of the. treatment called into emotional law international law but we hope here there and everywhere on kong's leader says she will accept the results of an inquiry into allegations of police brutality during anti-government demonstrations but carry them stopped short of ordering an independent investigation demanded by protesters critics say the police watchdog which conducted the review serves the interests of the government for good to reports. a much anticipated media conference by hong kong's police watchdog a 999 page report released by the independent police complaints council. and 9 months of police conduct during some of the largest antigovernment protests

ever seen in the territory. protest is being beaten by mosque men with sticks and boards as police were accused of turning a blind eye. to the use of force and firing of tear gas a protest doesn't stop with stations was unruly. and the siege of hong kong's the gist of council. all provoked accusations of excess force pollution and inaction by the police which prompted the watch dogs inquiry the council said the use of force largely met its national guard lines and offered $52.00 recommendations including on the future use of tear gas i'm training for offices confronting protesters. protests which originally were based or event degenerated into violent protests using what made them all kinds in fact against

police and others property was destroyed. and this is the situation that our police force was faced with and they're facing this situation of course they have to enforce law and they have to protect you know. just a geisha to the police conduct was one of the key to mobs of and to dampen protesters but the inquiry by a council with no part to hold offices accountable that short of protest is demond claim that the public expires and that the police nothing wrong which group that the police washed up is far more serving the interest of the frothy is i what began as peaceful demonstrations against home cost not extradition bill turned into often violent standoff between protesters and the police as millions marched in the streets stepping up demands for political and democratic reforms and calling on

scholars released them at a festival last month calling for the world to move away from g.d.p. focused growth and even to what they call deed grows some sectors such as oil gas mining and advertising which they say drive excessive consumption next they want universal basic income and a system that properly values workers and public services such as health and education along with carrots food is a focus on sustainable agriculture mostly local and vegetarian 4th a reduction in the wasteful consumption and travel at last late debt cancellation especially for workers and business owners in the developing world. we understand the concern about jobs but we would like to reorganize transform the economy into a much more sustainable economy and that means that other sectors greener sectors will grow. but it's also one of the reasons why we argue in favor of.

the basic universe a universal basic income and also for for sharing jobs people who have jobs are often working under precarious conditions have to work incredible long our worse whereas others are not finding jobs so it's very much a call for distribution we're not arguing against all air travel that is not the point of the of the manifesto we are scientists we depend on into international exchanges and not all of those can be organized online but we do want to question the excessive travel that we've witnessed over the past decades the growth in travel and we also question the absurdity of the fact that when you travel within europe it's often cheaper to fly than to take the train. and those are issues that we really need to rethink we need to promote more sustainable ways of traveling.
