in war or hurt or war. brazil's new health minister resigns up the just weeks in the job president both under growing pressure for his handling of the pandemic. down in jordan this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up. they've literally been working 24 hours a day president trump promises a coronavirus vaccine by the year end but health experts say his timeline is unrealistic. more than a 1000 ringler put on a quarantine of the world's largest refugee camp in bangladesh a day after reports the 1st case of corona. jordan's king warns of a massive conflict with israel if it goes ahead with plans to annex more

palestinian territories in the west bank. we begin in brazil where there's a political backlash to president jaya both scenarios handling of the coronavirus crisis the health minister has handed in his resignation of the less than a month in the job nelson teach follows his predecessor who had publicly criticized both the narrow decision to allow the reopening of gyms and beauty parlors brazil is a center of latin america's corona virus outbreak with close 215000 deaths it registered a record 15305 new cases on friday that's the highest in a day a lot took the total number of infections to over 218000 but the president is pushing state governors to ease lock downs and reopen the economy where john holdren is monitoring developments across latin america and joins us live now from mexico city john so this is the 2nd health minister to resign during the pandemic what more do we know about his reasons for stepping down.

when say public why he had stepped down but it's believed that he was against the president's wishes for the widespread use of clora cain that slanty malarial drug that president trump of the united states is all but also touted as use as useful before the u.s. food and drug administration that sort of advised against that and also as you mentioned against president but also now those wishes to call jim's beauty parlors and headdress as essential services that to be to remain open is believe that the the now ex health minister was unnecessarily in agreement about that as well i suppose the big news here just to emphasize is not just what's happened today but the fact that he's the 2nd health minister that the brazilian government has lost the height of a pandemic in which this country is the hot spot in latin america so this is a really big deal for the country now let's hear what he had to say when he did go

i view the feed the new school life is made of choices and today i chose to leave i tell you that i give the best of me during the period i spent here it's not a simple thing to lead a ministry like this one in such a difficult time and john so where does all of this then leave balls tomorrow standing politically in brazil. well in terms of the old republic in the approval polls he's definitely lost a lot of ground in that and in terms of his relationships you touched on it with the brazilian governors that's not much better either this is what the south paolo governor said today via twitter he said the boat is adrift may god protect brazil and the brazilians you can't get much starker than that and then leaked all the from a cabinet meeting in april but also nado apparently called him by very dirty word and also called the rio de janeiro government

a governor manoora so the governors of brazil and brazil's president are really at located at the moment and the the analysts that i've talked to in the country say that that situation is not just about corona virus and the fact that many state governors and mayors in the country want to try and protect their population want to try to enforce quarantine and the president obviously is against that he doesn't really want to do that he wants anyone that's healthy and not elderly out on the streets but also because he's taken a series of other measures as well is appeared for example in front of the military headquarters in brazil a country that less than 40 years ago was under a military dictatorship. with supporters all around him who are calling for a stop on the supreme court and a stop on congress so this is a president this will have been seen as going through extremes while the country is going through a big problem at the moment as i said it's really the epicenter of the pandemic in

latin america and isn't necessarily providing that reliable start calm and steady leadership that perhaps brazilians will be looking for i was a gentleman there live for us in mexico city john thank you. u.s. president donald trump has vowed to deliver a coronavirus vaccine by year's end in a new initiative he's dubbed operation was speed but medical experts say it won't be possible to develop a vaccine until well into next year at the earliest claims the effort will be unlike anything the u.s. has seen since the development of atomic weapons during world war 2 the initiative is a public private partnership that is designed to speed up research and approval for the 14 most promising vaccines well james warren is the executive editor of news guardian previously was the managing editor in charge of the washington bureau for the chicago tribune he joins us via skype from chicago so all the experts appear to disagree with trump's timeline for a vaccine what do you think trump has suddenly started to focus on a vaccine now. well i think it is part and parcel of. the

reelection strategy that i think most important principle namely that the best way out it whistles the economy start showing some clear signs of a comeback prior to election and that's why he very similar in some way so it's going on in brazil now i want to open up a society that even more than willing like bristling growth in the field the role of ice and then regardless of this case claim there were stratosphere estimates that they terrorists will probably continue to use a europe $2000000.00 though the ass from somewhere and that he will be in need of praise for calming our deserving approach to coming in way under it's similar with the vaccines in that he's playing scales and he is the quintessential american 'd salesman and he wants to create the expectation that a cure is right around the corner he's anxieties and that people feeling much more

carbon in route to return to work and then presumably welding for him but you have this same frictions among public health experts as you clearly chest illuminating you've gotten brazil yeah and it is interesting james to point out the both dr anthony fauci the top u.s. public health advisor and dr rick bright that sacked whistleblower gave testimony to congress they're going to take over a year to have a vaccine ready set is trump as you say putting economic expediency over the scientific facts. well he's already i think action above all and a belief and he is exploiting clearly there are many a myth. all right apologies for that we'll be having some problems with james warren there in chicago if we can we'll try to come back to a bit later in the program let's move on to now because the u.s. president has declared that a new coronavirus aid package which has just been approved by the house of representatives will be dead on arrival when it reaches the senate the 3 trillion

dollar plan would have eclipsed old previous financial rescue measures the democrats control the house but the republicans have a majority in the senate more than 36000000 people have claimed unemployment benefits in the u.s. since mid march now more than 1200 range of families have been placed in quarantine at the world's largest refugee camp in bangladesh the decision comes a day after the 1st 1000 case was detected mama john june reports. in cox's 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 targets 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 economics 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 aren't 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 his is extended to both host amenity and going up you can see more

than 100 bangladeshi host committee people are already infected in gaza over 90. 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. does here. well ram das is bangladesh's deposition country director of care he explained what's being done to help the refugees. it is like us along with the go mend and the u.n. agencies have been working intensively in this camps trying to expand isolation and prevent capacities from people including their own yes so we have people and critical supplies like the bus and the tech to document and be undertaking country is training your code to work is so one of the key actions which has been taken in

in the camps is creating new isolation and treatment centers. almost yearly completion which will treat people with covert military unless as i just pick health facilities have also been strengthened to meet this situation. time for a short break here now is iraq when we come back too much too soon warnings of a 2nd wave of virus infections as england allows people to return to the. palestinians not an important anniversary of the coronavirus or not stay with us. hello there plenty of weather across much of the united states as we head towards the weekend in fact a very unsubtle weekend wasn't too bad in the last hours across areas to the south

but that is set to change some pretty strong thunderstorms again they could be severe at times that does mean the threat of tornadoes and then plenty of rain through the central plains how much is a fairly high so we've got this a very moist warm as still some cool air coming down from the north and this is why we can see these storms developing but a good day saturday across the northeast 26 in d.c. 23 degrees celsius in new york where we have got more rain is through the pacific northwest you can see here quite a line of rain showers and they could be quite heavy at times and maybe some blustery winds along the coast as well now through sunday it stays mostly fine across much of the east but again these thunderstorms working their way east was becoming very unsubtle with some heavy rain around the great lakes meanwhile out across the west that rain still in the picture but actually becoming a little bit lighter and a little bit more scattered while and then down into the caribbean now this is what we're watching to the north by saturday anyway of the bahamas this could potentially develop into a tropical storm it will certainly produce very heavy amounts of rain it will tend

to linger so saturday and sunday those rains impact saying areas of the bahamas and also more the scattered showers and thunderstorms across much of cuba. is still real. family and freedom one from my living here you are at school we heard the sounds of large explosions. and the hardships faced in captivity they came for me at midnight they told me to leave my son i said how can i face in my thoughts so much pain in the eyes of the other female prisoners. in the our pricing. on al-jazeera.

welcome back a quick amount of our top stories here on al-jazeera brazil's health minister has resigned after less than a month on the job nelson teach disagreed with president bolton our us policies on controlling the coronavirus. us president donald trump has vowed to deliver a vaccine by year's end a new initiative he's dubbed operation of the group speech but most experts at that scene won't be ready until later next year at the earliest. and more than $1200.00 and the families have been placed on the pointy end of the world's largest refugee camp it comes a day after the 1st code 19 case was detected at the camp in bangladesh. jordan's king is warning neighboring israel against plans to annex more of the palestinian occupied west bank king abdullah says the move could start a massive conflict in the region on friday european union foreign ministers agreed

to step up diplomatic efforts to try to head off such a move but israel has vowed to annex illegal jewish settlements and the jordan valley this would end the long stalled peace process by making it virtually impossible to establish a viable palestinian state. by the time being away efforts are devoted to the. provided connection to any action in short for negotiated. for sure. feeling meant to do the national. international law but we help here there and everywhere well let's bring in hala delegate in the he's a senior fellow and director of the program on palestine and palestinian israeli affairs of the middle east institute he joins us via skype from arlington virginia i'm hala let's start with that warning from jordan's king abdullah that if israel goes ahead with an expansion plans it will lead to

a massive conflict in the region how significant is this warning do you think. well i think it's very significant in jordan is one of 2 countries that has a peace treaty with israel that has the longest to air countries i should say has the longest border with israel along the jordan river. and when the king himself comes out and essentially puts his relationship with israel and the treaty with israel on the line it's very very serious you know for or the monarchy in jordan. an end to the 2 state solution which this plan and excision is really aimed at achieving an end any prospect of a palestinian state poses not just a strategic threat but quite possibly even an existential threat to the monarchy in jordan let's bring in the americans here hard because even the u.s. state department has said any an extension should be part of israeli palestinian

peace negotiations but trump has already given the green light to netanyahu to go ahead anyway in his grand middle east peace plan. yeah i mean there's been an estrangement of course is sending mixed signals on the one hand you have a bastard david friedman who seems to be cheerleading and in and sort of nudging the israelis into 2 next and saying that it's purely an israeli decision and you have a statement by the state department that seemed to be reining that in somewhat but it's pretty clear that the tribal administration is not opposed to an exception and station is part of the plan. an israeli annexation and they've even set up a technical team jointly with these released to delete as eisley where parts of the west bank. can access and all 'd of that of course is happening without how is that

your participation it's been clear to the by the drumbeat ministration back they would prefer how is there any any involvement but the process will go ahead even without it and many experts say that israel's plans to annex the west bank shows a shocking disregard for international law but how much pressure can the international community the u.n. the e.u. bring on israel to reconsider its plans. well i mean inferior the international community has quite a bit of leverage. the european union is israel's largest trading partner the united nations of course being the address of the international order of of energy you know it's the symbol that represents international law they clearly have a stake in in in not seeing an accession happen what we haven't really seen you see a lot of warnings from european leaders we haven't seen clear reference to any

consequences that might. that israel might encounter as a result of her moving ahead with an expression khalid listen just a quick final point from you where does all of this then leave the palestinians i mean they've rejected trump's peace plan and refused to come to the table so what's then next move. yeah i mean that's part of the problem here they're trying to plan is very clearly aimed at not just avoiding a 2 state solution but kind of burning the bridge back to a credible 2 state solution even by a future administration and so it really is a major banks essential threats for the powers to be in leadership the problem is that the leadership hasn't really had much of the strategy to respond other than issuing statements and condemnations and getting other countries to do the same 11 place they probably just start is is by putting their own house in order i think

it's hard to imagine that a divine powers to me a national movement. you know the state of institutional disarray and decay could effectively combat something as big as the threat if that makes a sion and so i think the 1st priority for our student leaders should be to put their own house in order ok hala going to have to leave it there thank you very much indeed for talking to others there thank you now dozens of palestinian protesters were injured when his writing forces fired tear gas into the crowd it happened in so we have an edge in the occupied west bank the group demonstrating against illegal settlements was holding friday prayers in an area threatened by annexation and eagle israeli settlements have already been built in much of the area around the village. it's been 72 years since hundreds of thousands of palestinians were forcibly that tittle fled from their land to make way for the creation of israel the day is known as. the catastrophe of the palestinians unlike

previous he has no rallies or protests were scheduled because of the coronavirus pandemic need to abraham has more from ramallah in the occupied west bank. as there is a ban on gatherings palestinians are not going to be going to that amala downtown as has been the habit every year and they've been instead asked to commemorate the day on social media sharing stories videos of people who survived the neck but who are still alive until now or their children or grandchildren to tell stories of how palestinians will keep valuing the right of return and that they will never forget that they have lands and houses that they have been there a victim from or that they have to flee from because of the war back but now looking at the current political situation the dreams of refugees seem to be fading away with israel not only rejecting them the whole idea of return but also that

israel is looking now for grabbing more land we are expecting an israeli government in the next few days and an extension of parts of the jordan valley and that you get israeli settlements in the occupied west bank that high on its agenda it's worth mentioning that this is the 2nd anniversary of the us moving its embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem it was a big sign and a big support big move of support by the u.s. to israel announce that they recognize jerusalem to be rated capital of course palestinians of long said that they have you know i think nations security council resolutions say that this is their land but also that the jerusalem is their capital. for more now on the coronavirus pandemic the u.n. secretary general antonio protest says the only way to defeat the virus is for international solidarity and unity. sings the cold 1000 years show no fred dr the

world these we are not able to fight effectively vitals like the coronavirus and that we would need unity and solidarity to defeat the crown of unfortunately there is no unit and there is not enough solidarity specially 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 virals protect their populations and limit the metric economic and social impact on their people those instruments 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 of the vitals many workers in england has been allowed to go back to their jobs and people can now spend more time outside but there's concern that moving too quickly to lift the lockdown instructions could lead to a 2nd wave of infections the u.k.

is one of the hardest hit countries in the world with only 34000 deaths 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 too much too soon 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 to 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 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 has been really huge and 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 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 so a national strategy based on an average infection rate carries greater risk for some than for others and could see good news turn bad very quickly jonah how
