1:05 am
support these days. well recent polls show that somewhere between 20 to 30 percent of the brazilian electorate fail staunchly support president both so narrow and they've made it an habit now to come out and show their support every weekend in the capital brasilia and in other cities on lockdown like for example sao paolo coming out as you were saying your introduction honking their cars down the main avenues brasilia and arriving in front of the presidential palace where they are usually greeted by the president and again that was the case today the difference was that for the 1st time he and his and i were actually wearing a face mask about this didn't stop him from shaking hands and hugging young children and other people among them there was one kid who was wearing
1:06 am
a uniform a lot of the people who come out cheering for both sinatra or also nostalgic of the old brazil. military dictatorship and the times they're even calling out for the army to intervene because they feel that their president is there at tack by congress or the supreme court that recently allowed an investigation into alleged. interference bible so narrow into investigations that the police were doing about corruption practices by his son so it's a very complicated situation in brazil as in numbers keep going up as we've seen in the previous story more than 15000 people have already died because of the kobe of the 19 the cities in brazil and this is just 2 fishel number brazil is. a very
1:07 am
very small number of testing compared to other. countries in a similar situation so the numbers there are probably much higher but again in an interview yesterday on saturday both so narrow have tacked what he called the tyranny of total isolation and saying that he wants brazilians to be back at work and the economy to be reopened and sarah we heard about those fears for the indigenous reserves up river from an hours how likely they are to get any extra help anytime soon yeah we reported the situation in my house in the capital there with the hospitals completely overwhelmed these have been to open mass graves to deal with the. very high number of people who died and so far looked like many of the indigenous reserve ation deeper
1:08 am
inside had been spared by the virus but now instead it looks like a number of people probably left in my house at the beginning of the crisis their went back to their villages and now we're seeing the virus also spreading there it's very complicated to know how many people are dying officially only 11 but again there's no testing being done in very difficult for any doctors to arrive there and the ones that do arrive there say they don't have personal protective equipment and it's a pity thank you very much indeed. haitians in chile are the largest migrant community in latin america but they're poorly paid and live in dire conditions many are afraid to seek government and medical help affair of being deported and now the pandemic is fuelling racism against them in human reports in the capital santiago.

they call them see days large properties subdivided into small quarters where one or more families live cramped together often sharing a bathroom with up to a dozen other families they're the only option for many haitian migrants in chile like join the santa fe the kitchen doesn't work the bathroom but it's difficult for us to run to and hi to my children each have their own room i would never bring them here. to the history largest haitian migrant community outside of the united states and it's public knowledge that they are exploited by unscrupulous landlords and now with the corona virus pandemic they are being discriminated further. out a few weeks ago this sit there with $88.00 rooms became nationwide news health authorities move the haitian residents to a special learn teen area with better facilities but 1st the results of their
1:10 am
parole of virus test were published on the municipality's web page violating a patient's right to confidentiality the news spread like wildfire even before the cameras arrived the neighbors began throwing rocks and hurling insults at the haitians because a few of them had been confirmed to be carrying coronavirus now they tell us that they feel even more discriminated and vulnerable than ever. the fear of the virus has only increased the stigmatize ation of haitians says ralph gianbattista who works as a community translator but only a 5th of the community's very angry and upset if they'd been from europe from germany this would not have happened. ralph is always dressed impeccably because he says it helps to counter constant disrespect of blacks by chileans very. very nice people say get out and blocky there is cruel discrimination here that we can't ignore. it's league worse because many haitian migrants don't speak spanish and
1:11 am
don't know their rights and the condition of big idea with very precarious living conditions it's even more difficult for them to survive in a pandemic they charged extortionate rates which many can't afford the virus doesn't discriminate but we do. the governor of santiago's metropolitan region agrees that many migrants are living in inhumane conditions but are important but when we asked why authorities haven't stopped landlords from renting unsanitary and overcrowded living quarters he blamed the matters on which he really. the truth is that authorities have constantly turned a blind eye to a sanitary and human rights dilemma that is punishing those who came here for a better life as never before you see in human al-jazeera sent down.

1:13 am
ministries shared equally. we decided to take national responsibility especially at this time israel needs a national government that represents broad sections of the country after more than 10 years the era of government by one half of the nation is over we are here to represent those who felt they had no voice in leading this country. but gans also predicted bitter arguments to come one big difference their position on an exceeding 30 percent of the occupied west bank under the terms of the trump peace plan dances calling for a delay in consultation netanyahu is doubling down. now it is time to apply israeli law and writes the glorious chapter in the history of zionism this state doesn't delay peace it brings it closer because peace must be based on the truth in the truth is that there are hundreds of thousands of settlers in judo and sumeria under the coalition deal netanyahu can bring an extension for a vote anytime after july the 1st veto power of the terms of the deal so that
1:14 am
annexation has to be carried out in coordination with the us and must not threaten any regional peace treaties and now the u.s. seems to be signaling that it wants to see a delay and jordan's king says annexation would cause massive conflict with israel netanyahu and dance so the new government answers the call of the israeli people at a time of pandemic and economic crisis began to swarm opposition ally says it serves the interests of politicians not voters accord look at how this government was established 0 trust between the partners everything through lawyers and court debates overriding the basic laws people who don't believe a word the other says. it is at least been our functioning government the 1st israel has had in nearly 18 months but its structure is unprecedented in faces severe tests of the impact of the coronavirus and accession and having a prime minister whose corruption trial is due to start next sunday are a force it just 0 west to saddam. afghanistan's latest political process has also

1:16 am
the obama administration and president trump's been very clear he does not want to be the policeman of down as far as he puts it so i think the political elites another one has done have come to really realisation that they have to work together in order 'd to move forward even if that means that they're going to work together in circumstances that it don like to work with each other but it has to be done for their own survival but also for making sure that some kind of move forward happens and also the taliban process of of reconciliation with them which at the moment is stuck after the agreement was signed in doha in the end of february between the us and the taliban to which the afghan government was not a party so that has these are the 3 things and my view that are changed compared to the 1014 and the political elite and. still to come this ha ha. he was an incompetent president this is all i can say grossly come more attacks in the war of words between the us president and the man who came before him. and
