government for supporting this very exciting research and it builds upon years of research that we've already done as a team to demonstrate that people who have a malaria infection have a distinctive body odor and we've shown that dogs can be trained to detect that with very high accuracy so if this is successful and we show the same for covert 19 this could completely revolutionize the way that we are tackling this disease whether uptake next year on al-jazeera then trapped and other able to join real parents dozens of babies born to sort of mothers stranded in ukraine. a food crisis shortly in nigeria costing the place of many hours of work during the time that.

hello again this is al jazeera let's take a moment to remind you of the main news this hour the man accused of funding the militias who killed hundreds of thousands of people during the landon genocide has been captured for this in kabul go was found hiding in france under a false name for avoiding capture for nearly 25 years. thailand is easing a lockdown that began in a pool shopping malls and apartment stores have reopened but a nike curfew will be shortened by an hour but a state of emergency will continue until the end of among. the 1st to have a week a week long lockdown in chile as capital santiago seen city streets all this deserted more than 6000000 people have been ordered to stay in. the pandemic has been a major test for world leaders the top 4 worst hit nations all have something in

common populist leaders who initially dismissed the threat of the virus the death toll in the u.s. is approaching 90000 that's by far the world's highest despite repeated warnings from january president trump insisted that the virus wouldn't take hold there in march he declared a national emergency but has refused to take responsibility for failings in the response britain's prime minister porus johnson also played down the virus even shaking hands with patients on a clue that 19 hospital ward he later became seriously ill himself the u.k. acted relatively late in imposing a lockdown it now has the highest death toll in europe brazil is latin america's worst hit country president jaya balsam dollar said that the virus was nothing but a fantasy like trump also nado encouraged anti lock down protests of attack governors who imposed restrictions. and then vladimir putin was quick to close

russia's border with china but domestic lockdown measures came late russia now has more than 270000 infections the 2nd highest in the world steve clemons is editor at large of the hill and host of al-jazeera show the bottom line he explains why it's taken several world leaders some time to take measures against the virus. all of these leaders in a sense ran against the establishment in their countries they ran against science they ran against universities they ran against the ministries and bureaucracies they were out there set up over generations to protect the public but also narrow has fired his last 2 health ministers so donald trump his critique anthony found it was world famous as one of the great carolla just who has helped knock back h i p aids and others i think that the reason they did this is that they thrive on

the notion that they and their supporters are victims and they've been victims from the educated in society from science that has left them behind in their view and it challenges their my cheese mo their their their boss nature and that they would have to listen to someone else and this is created a real problem so i think that's part of that your world health organization is a bit different because it least in the united states part of the nationalism that donald trump has tried to this big nations now says i'm trying to assert is very disdainful of other countries of international deals of international institutions and they see the rest of the world as ripping off the united states as freewriting when the united states and there's a resentment and anger about anything attached to the united nations so his critique of the w.h.o. is part of this part of nations nationalism and he does not understand that the w.h.o. plays a vital and critical role in setting up health models and health standards creating

an antenna for other and future pandemics and helping particularly we have to remember that if we don't help lesser developed countries get through this and we see what it's happened to developed countries this will come back with a vengeance everywhere former u.s. president barack obama has made a veiled swipe at his successes handling of the pandemic saying that it's exposed the lack of american leadership speaking out of. ceremony for thousands of graduates he said they have to seize the initiative while the nation's leaders have fumbled their response to the virus more than anything this pandemic is fully finally torn back the curtain on the idea that so many of the folks in charge know what they're doing a lot of them aren't even pretending to be in charge that the world's going to get better it's going to be up to you for many of the 3700000 students graduating high school in the u.s. it's not the celebration they'd hoped for as alan fischer reports. it's not what

was supposed to be chewed up being a pothole with lots of friends and a celebration of 4 years of high school instead it's graduation with a socially distanced dance with the family in a driveway. with my friends that have better sleep and we're going to get out maybe. maybe it's graduation season in america's high schools big celebrations ceremonies and excitement the moment to move on to something new university or a korea for the class of 2022 is moments and memories have been stolen away was nobody wants to go to school it sucks it's boring at the end of your senior year you get to do all of these incredible things you've been working towards and you get that. and now i don't get that. clear rodgers moved to the u.s. 2 years ago from the u.k. where they do things differently graduation ceremonies are not common but i've

grown up watching that sort of thing maybe it's not like wow i actually get to experience. that that was quite upsetting he couldn't idol was ready to leave high school she's been accepted to university to pursue a career in nursing and watching her world has changed in just a matter of weeks watching hope people have relied on health professionals makes it even more determined that sweet her future lies i wish i could be helping everyone right now and it's kind of sad that i can't but that's what's also motivating me to still be a nurse is in case this comes back not everyone leaving high school has the same sefton to and it is a real not corn effect colleges and universities across america say they're expecting to lose 20 percent of the students who have already enrolled many simply won't be able to afford it anymore and it's not just a one year thing one in 10 say they're already making other plans what would you want and help students in the last year of high school plan for the future

a future no least with uncertainty my biggest fear is that kids that were on the edge in that i would have been able to do more for. are still going to not make a decision on what their person or plans are and leave high school and. not knowing what to do $170.00 schools are doing what they can to celebrate graduation virtual ceremonies pushing events back several weeks it won't be the same but then neither is the world the students are about to enter alan fischer al-jazeera arlington virginia some nigerians are complaining about the rising cost of food during ramadan some items are twice as expensive and prices are expected to drop again all that address reports now from a puja. she knows what izzy shops for the families next meal she's a regular at this small market in the hurt of the city by sis prices have increased
