a resurgence in cases there thousands of graves are being dug in the city's main cemetery but columbia has allowed some essential businesses to reopen after a 7 week such down lead to a fall in the effects and rates of the world health organization has called for a cohesive leadership across latin america to control the spread of the virus from the perspective in brazil we've seen the increase in the number of cases and in general we've seen an increase in the number of central and south american countries. and i think this is been a factor in many large federated stage the director general has i think said this many many times. regardless of the effectiveness of the whole system what's really crucial is that there's coherence cohesion and across party all of government all of society approach. has more from sao paolo on the reasons behind the resignation. this is because of

a lot of disagreements between the minister of. that who was replaced old replacing the ex minister and recommend and he wanted to change the view and work of the ministry of health in brazil according to what president bush not once but appeared a lot of disagreements between him and the president of brazil. especially in the last days when the president was not asked to use chloral queen. medication for early stages of the infected patients of course the virus here in brazil and. minister didn't accept this and he said that a lot of queen can't be used for early stages and as we've been reporting strict

new lockdown measures are due to come into effect in chile in the coming hours 7000000 residents in the capital santiago were placed under mandatory quarantine the health ministry announced the measure on wednesday after a surge in new cases a nationwide quarantine for all people over 75 years old was also announced late last month santiago had started to ease some restrictions allowing people to go shopping chile has almost 40000 confirmed cases and more than 301000 deaths are line america editor of the sea a new minute joining us from santiago to tell us more about the capital's lockdown . i'm standing in front of the general cemetery here in santiago where the grave diggers have been very very busy indeed trying to make more tools to a maximum of 3000 for now not because they are that many people that have died to

grow in a virus but just in preparation in case there are needed the death toll is still relatively low here in chile but the fear is that that will absolutely explode and very very soon if things keep going as they are now the number of infections has multiplied by 5 in the last 2 weeks here in the capital alone and this is certainly the epicenter of the pandemic which is why the president declared it the battle for sunday i will a few days ago and now went further by imposing a full lockdown which is what many many mayors what the doctors guild and many ordinary citizens have been planning for for weeks if not months so the government is in the hot seat right now for doing the right thing but probably too late even though it continues to say that it was the right time to do it the president earlier today was at the airport receiving a planeload of more ventilators and of more personal protection gear for medical

personnel and just ordinary citizens but things are looking very dire indeed especially at the entrance to the hospital where we've seen just long queues of ambulances waiting sometimes up to 10 hours to work that their patients out and into the emergency rooms because they are absolutely filled to capacity and the air force has begun already air lifting people out of the capital from here to cities like bunch of sean and even all the way to the south of the country where at least some beds in critical care are still free but the number of deaths is growing day by day and it's not certain just how long that's going to. whether or not the whole system will just collapse yes so they see it this is going to put a lot of pressure than on the health systems in chevy. it's putting a tremendous amount of pressure on the health system the government had done sort of an integrated health system in other words it's now under control of both the

private and the public hospitals however they are not enough nurses there are not enough doctors and there not enough there's not enough technical personnel to man the emergency rooms the extra emergency rooms that the government is building and trying to put together 24 hours a day in order to be a number of infected people 'd so you can as the deputy health minister said a short while ago we said we can always buy new ventilators we can bring them but you can't manufacture a nurse you can't manufacture people who did years and years of training to be able to deal with this sort of a crisis and i can see if thank you very much for that update from santiago. now the u.s. house of representatives is such a possible last will release package to save the world's largest economy but it's likely to hit a dead end in the senate so the fun totals 3 trillion dollars to fight the impact of the pandemic democrats insist every sense is necessary the measure includes

$500000000000.00 an aid to state governments another round the direct payments to individuals and families as well as hazard pay for frontline workers 36500000 people have filed for unemployment since the crisis began that's more than one in 5 of america's workers let's bring in our white house correspondent kelly halakhah she's joining us from washington to tell us more about those 3 trillion dollars plan and why it's facing pushback by some kimberly. yes namely republicans but there are a handful of democrats to say it doesn't do enough to help americans and that's one reason they may not support it but we do believe that ultimately that this will pass in the house of representatives controlled by democrats the problem as you mentioned is in the senate controlled by republicans they argue that there is a philosophical difference when it comes to how to really resolve the situation that americans find themselves in within

a literate economy and they view of this white house is that you can't spend your way into prosperity in the words of larry kudlow one of the president's economic advisors in other words you can't continue to pay people to stay home and expect the economy to recover and that's why they're pushing back against this bill of the senate and the u.s. president for his part says if it even made it through the senate he would not sign it into law his exact words it would be dead on arrival so what we're faced with here is really essentially a symbolic vote that is allowing both sides to line up in advance of the november elections expect that both republicans and democrats will use some of these floor speeches it act tacked heads against one another because basically what this comes down to is the vote in november will really be a referendum on president trump's coronavirus response whether enough whether or not he did enough to help ordinary americans but republicans say that right now

this legislation as presented by democrats in the house is too broad there are other things that tap in there that don't have anything to do with coronavirus and that's why they say they cannot support it i mean carol meanwhile the president himself has quite hopeful about a vaccine. the u.s. president's timeline is a little bit optimistic he says and this was acted by some in the rose garden earlier that there could be a vaccine by the end of the year they've announced operation warp speed they've put it a 4 star army general and also an executive from the pharmaceutical industry to really ramp up the efforts to fight a vaccine that will allow americans to go back to work and feel safe but what's unusual in all of this is the u.s. president even as he was announcing it was coming down playing the value of a back scene saying that you know eventually chrono virus will go away and we'll be back we'll fight through it no matter what even as he was saying to reporters that

he felt the vaccine research was going well and making progress and 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 the record record record speed now one of the problems in all of this is that there may be another country that gets the vaccine 1st in fact the u.s. president was asked about that what if china gets it 1st what happens then given

the fact that china the united states have very very difficult relations right now the u.s. president said if that happens well he said the united states has no ego and he would work with them all rights committee thank you very much for that update from the white house. still to come on al-jazeera too much too soon warnings of a 2nd wave of coronavirus in england allows people to return to work. here is the season shelter together from a powerful typhoon that rests on the coronavirus details right after the break. had there had some very heavy rain push across southern areas of europe over the last a day or 2 you can see here on the satellite well if you as a seen plenty of cloud and this has been bringing more very heavy amounts of rain

and just look at this this is what the rain has done in similar this is that she about 5 days rain a consecutive days but totaling about 145 millimeters so perhaps not surprising scenes like this but also trees a come down the winds were pretty strong at times as well and you can see by day even that the rain is still very much of the water should say still very much on the streets down some more rain in the forecast and i'd imagine no rain is really welcome but not as heavy as we have seen it again trading down into all central and eastern areas of spain really across much of europe it's largely dry but we've got a fair amount of cloud about some calls a touch is still a little bit on the low side for this time of year more rain as a strong winds maybe some mountain snow pushing into areas of norway but where we have got the warm air is across the southeast book arrest on into athens and in fact the temperatures here about 8 or so degrees above the average for this time of year now through sunday it stays warm across much of the southeast tom it is beginning to improve across into areas of spain the cloud is clearing but tonight

is rain pushing into northern sections of the u.k. generally a caddy picture $119.00 in london. a city defined by military occupation. there's never been an arab state here with the capital of jerusalem everyone is welcome but this depôt structure that maintains because only project that's what we defuse it was one of the found there are still for a settlement with this and it's the story of jerusalem through the eyes of its own people segregation occupation discrimination injustice this is apartheid in the 21st century jerusalem a rock and a hard place and i'll just. move.

here with al jazeera hello again the top stories brazil's health minister nelson tice has resigned after just weeks on the job the 2nd to leave the post or in the covert 1000 and. strict new lockdown measures are due to come into effect in chile in the coming hours following a surge in cases the us president all tromped has announced a new project a fast track a coronavirus that soon. the u.n. secretary general and son of a terrorist was told al-jazeera that the only way to defeat those fires is through international solidarity and unity. sings the cold 1000 years show no fred the world these we are not able to fight effectively of items like the koran of idols and that we would need unity and solidarity to defeat the koran of unfortunately there is no unit and that is not enough so that it is specially developing world we

see now the virus spreading in africa in latin america in some parts of asia and unfortunately the east germans will be needed to help those countries defeat the vitals protect their populations and limit the metric economic and social impact on their people those estimates of solidarity have been very scarce and indeed there has been a division of the vision 1st of all different strategies of different countries not effective coordination of the actions to the feet to the vital. aid workers in bangladesh are racing to stop the corona virus from spreading in the world's largest refugee camp more than 1200 rohingya families had now been placed in quarantine after the 1st 1000 cases were confirmed that cox is bizarre mohammad's and june has more in conscious bizarre preparations to combat the spread of coping 1000 were underway well before the 1st case of the disease was confirmed among the remainder 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. 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 facilities 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 to neighboring miramar now has to contend with a threat unlike any they've known before. aid workers aren't only concerned about the health of the rohingya you can see you know there's a big host community and goddesses build up not just joining us so how to really make sure that this is extended to both thorsten knitty and going up you can see more than 100 bangladeshi host committee people are already infected and up to 95. bringing 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. as is here. let's get more on this a brand. care bangladesh's deputy country director his joining us from new delhi thanks for joining us on al-jazeera now that the current virus has entered the

world's largest refugee camp how concerned are you. thank you very much for having me. i'm very concerned and deeply concerned. i was you know i was sitting. over crowded camp with front to do 50000 people was going to kill a bit about 4 times out of new york city and gone infection as potential is fitting very fos so i'm deeply concerned but this one infection. are you worried that this is going to lead to more infections and what latest numbers do you have on the exact number of infections right now and cox is bizarre. as of today be have a total $150.00 people who have been infected and out of $150.00 only one if you. has been infected so the rest of them are bombed out they should nationals and and

d.d. the possibility of infections voting is is is quite high and it didn't show because of the act camp and i'm just unsanitary living conditions in which people are living and in terms of medical goods and sort of supplies in the camp how prepared are organizations like yours as well as the medical teams to provide care for anyone that may get infected. it is like i was selling with the go meant and the u.n. agency 7 working intensively in this camps trying to expand isolation and treat bench capacities for all people including their own yes so we had people dition critical supplies like the 1st and protected document and we're undertaking continuous training your current work is so one of the key actions which has been taken and our in in the camps is creating new isolation and treatment centers.

around i'm a security completion which will treat people with covert military unless this. district health facilities i've also been strengthened to meet this situation what about the role of the international community here. has done enough. yes a lot has been done for prevention of kuwait by the international community including the u.n. agencies at the governmental bangladesh trans human resource have been deployed there mentioned measures have been taken people have been made a bit of a. regular messaging supplies have been people's issue and symptoms having monitored isolation and treatment centers are in very nice despite the challenges of quote critical lifesaving your activities and also continuing which includes house nutrition and how those who are decided to asian and how you know activities distribution of food and cooking sure clearly quite

a lot is being done right so ok we'll have to leave it there ram dass we thank you very much for speaking to us from new delhi thank you very much many workers in england have been allowed to go back to their jobs and people can now spend more time outside now there's concern that moving too quickly to lift lockdown restrictions could lead to a 2nd wave of infections the whole reports. at 1st glance this is almost a picture of normal life it's a london suburban high street emerging from lockdown after the government allowed a partial return to work in england this week but for some it's all too much too soon but we're seeing already in london at any rate with the high densities of travel on the london underground and on buses should certainly give us cause for concern because those are situations in which the transmission of the virus is very likely professor martin mckee is part of an independent group of scientists and

public health experts examining government policy on covert 19 they've called parts of it dangerous the easing of restrictions premature and they question official messaging like the new instruction to stay alert and use common sense about social distancing rather than simply stay home to tell people that they need to use their common sense when we're dealing with a virus a piece of r.n.a. that most people are completely unfamiliar with them terms of the transmission the dynamics and so on it's really quite quite problematic it's not just scientists who are worried the care home sector remains in the grip of its deadly epidemic that has seen a quarter of all u.k. lives lost among society's most vulnerable people and doctors and nurses on the health care front line are being told to brace for a 2nd wave of doctors and nurses are absolutely exhausted the 1st wave of this virus and this pandemic was. has drained as physically and emotionally and the toll

has been really huge the prospect of going back to that going back to where we were 8 weeks ago is really really horrifying to be perfectly honest the 2nd thing that is really again incredibly worrying and anxiety inducing for us on the front line is the lack of p.p. and there's never been enough p.p. there wasn't enough. 1st time around if we're going to see if there's going to be a 2nd spike it looks very much like there will be there is definitely not enough people for health care workers in the country to be adequately protected the government insists it's following scientific advice and that a phased lifting of the lockdown depends on a falling infection rate but the scientific and health care views i've been listening to are adamant there shouldn't be any lifting of the lockdown until test trace and isolate mechanisms are in place to control future outbreaks and they're not in place yet and while research by public health in the reveals that infections

in the capital down to just 24 a day in the northeast of england the daily rate is still around $4000.00 so a national strategy based on an average infection rate carries greater risk for some than for others and could see good news turned bad very quickly jonah how al-jazeera london. or some other stories we're following now in hong kong's leader has rejected calls for an independent inquiry into police brutality against anti-government protesters priyanka gupta has more. a much anticipated media conference by hong kong's police watchdog a 999 page report released by the independent police complaints council. was the only 9 months of police conduct during some of the largest antigovernment protests ever seen in the territory thanks for testers being beaten by mosque men with
