2 and a half 1000 people tested positive hospitals in the capital are reportedly almost full chalets capital santiago goes into lockdown in just hours after a resurgence in cases there thousands of new graves are being dug in the city's main cemetery but colombia has allowed some essential businesses to reopen after a 7 week shutdown led to a fall in the infection rates and 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 states the director general has i think said this many many times. regardless of the effect to disentangle system what's really crucial is that there's coherence cohesion and across party all of government all

of society approach so strict new law some measures are due to come into effect in chile in the coming hours as you've been hearing and $7000000.00 residents in the capital santiago what we placed under mandatory quarantine the health ministry announced a plan on wednesday after a surge in new cases a nationwide corn seen 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 390 deaths there's a lot america editor of a c.n.n. with more from santiago. it's a don't really a resurgence of cases it's just a continuation and an exclusion of cases because chile had really never brought them down but they thought that they had had the relatively under control that clearly is no longer the case the number of new infections in chile is the country in latin america that does the highest number of testing just today i think there

was something like 12000 new tests made and an alarming number of those have proved to be positive we've had 5 times the number of infections today than 5 then just less than 2 weeks ago so it's going up and up and up and so of the numbers of deaths and we've seen for example that at the cemetery the the grave diggers are working overtime to try to make sure that there are enough free graves in case this just gets worse as many people fear that it could now at this hour you can see not many cars on the street people have been racing to get home before the full lockdown begins and the government has also set up a cordon around the city all the exits to santiago so people can't get out and go to 2nd homes which is illegal but people have been breaking that rule over and over again and they've also circle they've also cordoned off the entrances to other cities especially those near the beach to keep the contagion from spreading to

those parts of the country as well the president was at the airport today he was receiving more than 200 move ventilators and more personal protection of footmen for medical staff and for ordinary chileans but the problem is that there is a great shortage of nurses and other trained personnel to use this kind of equipment so the situation right now is becoming very dire indeed mexico has reported its largest one day rise in corona virus cases how the fences confirmed over 2400 new infections on thursday the government says the country is facing its most difficult moments of the pandemic let's get an update from john home and he's joining us from mexico city so how is the health system holding up john. it is holding up at the moment you just heard from lucy there about chile and we're not quite in that situation here in mexico yet the president came out today and said that still about 50 percent of beds are available for corona virus patients

we've been doing our own checking in just with medical staff here across the capital and they've told us yes that there are still ventilators available that yes there are still beds available so it's not such freighted yet there is a problem with a lack of protective equipment for medical staff and there's also a problem with organization in terms of which hospitals are full of which aren't and patients been sent to the right to the right once they don't lose time and potentially even their lives on the way to hospitals what's really on the debate right now in mexico 2 things that are interlinked and the 1st of those is that even though as you said mexico at the moment this week it had the highest daily death toll the highest daily toll of cases the government still saying that there's light at the end of the tunnel that's what the president said this this morning in the press conference and he wasn't referring to a distant light he's saying that he wants to open up the countries from june the 1st gradually and even before then to open up from monday so minister polities that

haven't had any cases so far some people are saying well that's a big quick after the week that we've just had a we've really sure we want to be doing that with the country and it's interlaced with the other issue here in mexico which is that in contrast to chile where lucy was saying they're doing a lot of tests emits for the testing is chronically low to the point where the krona saw himself has said that there could be 8 times higher the amount of cases really that we're seeing reported in the statistics and a lot of people are saying that it might be a lot more than that in terms of deaths and in terms of the number of people that have coronavirus we might really have not very much idea at all in mexico and that means even more questions about whether this is really the. a moment where this epidemic peaks and goes down or what we might still be going up i suppose in a couple of weeks or so we're going to find out if the government was right with their strategy or whether the country's an even bigger problem yeah sounds like ok john who are the most vulnerable in mexico

well this is a country with a high number of people who struggle with obesity 70 percent of the adult population it's a country where one in 7 people have diabetes there's a lot of junk food basically and sugary drinks in this country that have caused the problem over decades in the coronavirus are said more or less at the start that this is going to be a problem for us because these are 2 of the conditions that apparently coded really sort of attacks people or effects people that do have those conditions but there is another group as well and that's the medical stuff themselves just under a quarter of the koran the virus cases in the country apparently are medical stuff and they're not just fighting i spoke to a nurse just the other day in mexico city on the phone and she said we're battling the corona virus itself in the hospitals at work and we're also battling against members of the public and that's because medical staff in mexico have had verbal

abuse they've had things thrown off the phone at them they've been flown off buses because some people in the country believe that they just carrying the virus with them everywhere they go so sort of quite shocking attitude when you compare it to how medical staff been treated in other countries where they've been treated as heroes and obviously this isn't all mexicans but it's happened enough that the the chief of the nurses union has activity to come on the primetime press conference from the government and say in tears please just respect us and let us do our jobs so that's something that we haven't seen ease up so far during this epidemic in mexico ok don thank you for that update from mexico city. well the u.s. house of representatives sets a pass a colossal relief package to save the world's largest economy but it's likely to hit a dead end in the senate the fund totals 3 trillion dollars to fight the impact of the pandemic democrats insist every cent is necessary the measure includes

$500000000000.00 in aid to state governments another round of direct payments to individuals and families as well as hazard pay for front line workers 36 and a half 1000000 people have filed for unemployment since the crisis began that's more than one in 5 of america's workers here's our white house correspondent kimberly helped it. this would be like the 4th package that's been pushed through by congress or this morning this case attempted to push through as still the view is at least by conservatives on capitol hill who control the u.s. senate that this can pass in the democrat controlled house of representatives but we're not letting it pass through that opportunity because we're really concerned about all the money that's being spent and how it's being spent the u.s. president saying this particular package if it gets to his desk which it's unlikely to do he's not going to sign it he said it would be dead on arrival and it was a bit of an unusual rose garden press conference today because in the midst of now

saying operation warp speed in trying to get a vaccine the president says by the end of the year which public health officials say is pretty optimistic the u.s. president also said that he thinks there isn't really a need for a vaccine or in other words this is all going to go away at some point we have to get out there no matter what an event slee people will become a meal on end you know america is going to rise to the occasion vaccine or not it was a little bit unusual as he pressed forward on vaccine development naming this task force the 2 people to head it up as he also said that he believes that there's been a lot of progress experts throughout the government have been collaborating to evaluate roughly $100.00 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 he was asked by reporters though one. if china gets the vaccine before the united states does given the fact that relations are really pretty bad right now the u.s. presidents of the us not a problem he says even if relations aren't great he says the united states in his view doesn't have an ego he'd be happy to work with them if china gets the vaccine 1st well the u.n. secretary general antonio terrorist has told al jazeera that the only way to defeat this virus is through international solidarity and unity. sings the cold 1000 years shown all for a drive 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

coronavirus unfortunately there is no unit and there is not enough solidarity especially with the developing world we see now the virus spreading in africa in latin america in some other parts of asia and fortunately 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 division 1st of all different strategies of different countries not effective coordination of the actions to the feet to the vital still had around 0 or too much too soon warnings of a sudden wave is going to paris and saxons as england allows people to return to work. shelter together. at risk from covert.

hello their message a picture across much of a stray and across into new zealand some areas of class but not really being much in the way of rain now these case guys about the overnight hours at a failing fairly cool in size to take across the southeast 18 at best in adelaide on saturday the same across into melbourne well this isn't as i threw the coastal areas of new south wales pushing up into coastal as a queensland as well because it's a dry across both islands of new zealand savages and not bad 14 celsius perhaps in wellington and christchurch not a bad day saturday there across into perth with a high of 23 mostly dry i just wanted to put some pieces of a cloud and then a similar story really across much of the same. piece of australian fine you draw a spell a couple of days in to 16 degrees celsius is a high now a little bit cooler into as a japan and this is why the clouds and the rain pushing in some very heavy amounts

of rain as you can see working their way through the 1st of all mostly fine across much of the korean peninsula but that rain training all the way down into southern areas of china it does begin to kidded about that on sunday more rain though still across these areas of south and the west but it's an improving picture across much of japan but the area we're watching is this we're going to see more rain pushing into taiwan and that is courtesy of the tropical storm which is pushing up from the philippines. on counting because they're rich in resources but some opec nations are struggling to make any money right now but then also it could be oil price crash the opening the green economy needs all that plus spoils biggest player moving in on a little piece of that. counting the cost on al-jazeera. a diverse range of stories from across the globe from the perspective of on match

point on which is you know. well again the top stories on al jazeera was ill health minister nelson tate shows resigned after just weeks on the job his 2nd to leave the poster in the coming 1000 pandemic country has recorded over 15000 new infections in the past a. strict new lockdown measures are due to come into effect in chile in the coming hours following a surge in new cases. u.s. president all trump has announced a new project a fast track record of ours vaccine and develop one by the end of the year but experts have warned that it could be at least 12 to 18 months until

a vaccine is ready for the public. aid workers and bangladesh are racing to stop the corona virus from spreading in the world's largest refugee camp more than 1200 rohingya families have a place in quarantine after the 1st cove in 1000 cases were confirmed to cox's bizarre homage in june has more. in conscious bizarre preparations to combat the spread of cold 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 1100 and isolation treatment beds available which will 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 areas 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 in neighboring me and more now has to contend with the 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 cost community and goddesses build up not just joining us so how to really make sure that. extended to both thorsten needy and going up you can see more than 100 bangladeshi host committee people are already infected and up to 90. running

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. well the rate of infection in the u.k. has increased slightly the country's so-called are numbers between 0.7 and one meaning sick person. infecting fewer are other people but the health minister has been asked of that's enough to determine when lockdown measures should end the everybody can play their part in keeping our below warm and pushing our down and they and you can do that by following the social distancing rules so if you do go out and outdoors do it only with members of your household and keep 2 meters away from

others who aren't in your household and those social distancing rules are incredibly clear and they will help to keep us safe many workers in england have been allowed to go back to their jobs and people can now spend more time outside but the u.k. is one of the hardest hit countries in the world with nearly 34000 deaths and now there's concern that moving too quickly to lift lockdown restrictions could lead to a 2nd wave of infections as journal 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 to march to suit what 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 a 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 you 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 condemn it was. has drained as physically and emotionally and the toll is going really huge at 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 if there's going to be a 2nd spike and it's very much like there will be there is definitely not enough people 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 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 slovenia has become the 1st european country to declare an end to the current virus epidemic the government says the spread is under control and there's no longer a need for extraordinary health hazards that ends are free to cross into slovenia from austria italy and hungary at certain checkpoints while most non the e.u. nationals will have to undergo a matador a 14 day koren seen 103 people have died germany is preparing to relax enter roles for travellers from the european union is saying in travel zone and the u.k.

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 it claim that the public is biased and that the police nothing wrong which group that the police washed up is far more serving the interest of the frothy is the old what began as peaceful demonstrations against home const national 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 china's government to lose including on the former british colony and only defeat dems guaranteed in the 199701 agreement i'm not naive to think that the publication of the report or my response to the report even asserting all
