6:13 pm

6:16 pm
is still in 3rd place or is in 2nd place as the worst to affect the country passing russia about what's clear is that the situation there keeps getting worse by the day confirmed number of dead has been over a 1000 now for 3 days in a row bringing the total number to more than 20000 confirmed dead in the country this despite the fact everybody believes that that number is actually much higher and on friday the brazilian government has admitted that there are at least 11000 more dead that happened in the past couple of weeks that they have not been able to confirm these that have already been burned and that they will not be able to know if indeed they had to do with. 19 so the situation keeps getting worse by the day a number of hospitals are being completely overwhelmed by the number of cases they
6:17 pm
have to deal with this specially in poor areas or with smaller medical services like for example in the amazon but keeps insisting that he thinks that isolation measures will do more harm than good he continues clashing with a number of local state governors that are insist. keeping measures in place instead will so that oh says brazil needs to go back to work needs to reopen while these numbers keep going up keep rising through all the worries so a very dramatic piece thank you that sounds around here to there across developments. governments around the world are grabbing financial lifelines as they fight to keep economies from collapsing the world bank says the pandemic could push the 60000000 people around the globe into extreme poverty the international

monetary fund predicts global growth will shrink shrink by 3 percent this year far worse than during the financial crisis more than a decade ago i am if dish relief has been approved for $27.00 countries including afghanistan the democratic republic of congo and he have been in the world bank says it will issue $160000000000.00 worth of merges the funds to $100.00 developing nations. looks at where the money's coming from and whether those borrowing it will be able to pay it back. across the globe as countries deal with the health impacts of cope with 1000 but also dealing with the economic impacts the global economy has seized up supply and demand have been hit the most basic of economic drivers there was a huge economic problem during the financial crash of the 1930 s. but know the global economy is much more complicated interconnected interdependent . you really are very very used and that's why
6:19 pm
it's just. sort of a soothing from his headquarters here in washington the international monetary fund has put together a 9 trillion dollar port to help countries deal with the covert crisis most of that money has come from the g. 20 the world's richest nations and more than $100.00 countries have asked for help this is the i.m.f. map of where money has been distributed among help $2700000000.00 to egypt $411000000.00 to ethiopia 361000000 to bosnia and why well take the caribbean islands or some vincent and granite jeans and a corner me built on today's them which is completely disappeared 16000000 helps until things get better. health comes through perspiring not cancelling debt payments $64.00 countries in the world spend more on debt relief than health that is temporarily halted. there are also additional direct loans and other instruments
6:20 pm
to ease the financial burden and now years out of the i.m.f. and some sort of longer term. plan and program is likely going to have to step in to help countries through that so that's probably what was happening i think i think the i.m.f. has delivered the message that the recovery we have to hope for if that's to be a green recovery that we 'd have to do use this as an opportunity to do the things that are necessary it deal with the effects of climate change the crisis we've all seen the pictures of. nature reasserting itself in various areas and i think people of begun to understand the impact we've had so perhaps it will encourage domestic support for actions countries will still have to figure out how to pay back a lot of the assistance they're getting right now and when they'll finally be in a position to do that alan fischer al-jazeera washington. let's take now to tim
6:21 pm
johnson who is the head of policy and to believe desk campaign pay u.k. based charity the books and global policy he joins us now from bristol in the u.k. thank you feel time here on the news on so many decades campaign wants the cancellation of debt for poor countries impacted by coronavirus is that as as easy as simply canceling debt has been all some sort of flow on effect of doing so. so many situations that is very easy it is wait he money in a country so that it can spend money on the health care on social ready protection brought on it being ways that are leaving ready the country we do need action that cost moves most whole areas. governments of london the money and also countries like the u.k. and us that govern the lore over which many of these debts are owed governmental action accounting work to get that comes the world bank has said that cancelling
6:22 pm
did payments could impact its ability to give low cost loans by impacting its credit rating i mean what are your thoughts on that so there are signs abilities borrow low and right. governments across the world and that would remain the case the i.m.f. some will find. hundreds of billions of dollars a. go and just a small proportion of the council payments this year and how keep the money in country but we need to see action across that area when there's so the world bank example or private credit because the hyacinths loans to private lenders and we need to see those being tackled as well do you have any concerns about countries vying for soft power by cancelling dash i mean i was reading a report by the harvard kennedy school of policy analysis and it was warning the you witness. basically just that the pandemic could give china the chance to boost
6:23 pm
its soft power by cancelling debt. but we've not only rushed the. oars and to be aware of that the what's happened so far is the group of. china on the us. offered suspension the. best of this year though is that payments will bank be made in a couple of years and kick the can down the row which is the bottom and. we need to see a comprehensive back up all that comes with that 'd now on. wednesday night that's what. i would counsel that's down to the sustainable level speaking of kicking the can down the road i mean is canceling debt an actual long term solution out there any more fundamental reforms that you think we should be looking at we
6:24 pm
definitely need fundamental reforms we punished when cancellation for some countries 15 years ago but them for the last 10 years we've seen a human mind doing problems reemerging again one of the reasons that happened. band of the sponsor crisis which we're seeing at the moment is that the i.m.f. and world bank lend more money which is you just used to pay off. the loans lend or incentivized to keep lending rockwell's what we need to see this time is both making those loans as well. and also setting up as this so it's clear that they will get in the future and so that they have the language sponsor really rather that they are what they are about it's pretty good to get your time and your perspective tim jones there from the jubilee debt campaign thank you thanks.

6:26 pm
with what prime minister has warns could be a major food crisis the world food program says prices of basic goods increased by at least 40 percent that's linked to the devaluation of the local currency the euro lebannon is heavily reliant on food imports they are at risk because of the scarcity of dollars to buy them our food security is in danger because of the financial crisis and because our agricultural sector has been in shambles for the past 30 years successive governments blamed for mismanagement and corruption have been criticised for failing to support lebanese farmers campaigns have recently been launched to encourage agriculture and self-sufficiency as well as support food producers it's cost $3.00 to $4.00 times more. this year than it did last year and they don't have that. so it's kind of just to ensure that the supply chain throughout the season is insured for everyone for and for us

6:36 pm
ground that just like there was a localized local say in various areas across fields and the district is that there should be a swift response from the state and ministration site and from the officials in the electricity department in the area however what locals found is that when they went to these offices of the like the city department they were told that if the weekend and hence the offices shot this is not something that they expected especially when the city's grappling under the aftermath of a cycle on what authorities are now doing is giving out headline numbers so that people in the areas can contact these numbers and they represent these people are so desperate in the various localities that they are also reaching out to various people on social media some of them other people's representatives from various parties so this is what is a desperate attempt that they're trying to do to get back in activity and water because we must remember that the city's also grappling under the cold with one thing prices that are as a people at home some have the houses which have been you know devastated because
6:37 pm
of the cycle for both problems are mounting for the people in the city and the surrounding district. factories in sedona trending to continue a nationwide strike if it demands for better working conditions meant by the government the main doctors union called a 72 hour strike on thursday i was after 4 doctors were injured during an attack at a hospital in the city of on the run medics are unhappy with the lack of protective equipment for treatment coronavirus patients. the british government is defending the prime minister's chief adviser saying a trip he took during lockdown did not break guidelines dominic cummings drove more than 400 kilometers from london to his parents' home in northern england and he was supposed to be self isolating after showing symptoms of the virus the government says the trip was to arrange care for his young son opposition m.p.'s a calling on boss johnson to axe or for cummings to resign as others have done for breaking the lockdown rules go live now to nadine barber who is in london the dame
6:38 pm
the reaction to this is coming thick and fast i believe the issue has been put to the transport minister who's holding today's coronavirus daily briefing what's been said. that's right kim we've just heard from grant shapps the transport secretary who has said at this briefing that prime minister boris johnson has the full confidence in his advisor dominic cummings who he brought in last year to oversee what turned out to be a cull of people who didn't agree with boris johnson over his brakes at vision within the conservative party dominic cummings for already very controversial grant shapps has said that in fact. when it cummings did what he did in order to protect his 4 year old child here's what number 10 downing street said earlier owing to his wife being infected with suspected coronavirus and the high likelihood he would himself become unwell it was essential for dominic cummings to ensure his young
6:39 pm
child could be properly cared for well 2 things that people are pointing out that firstly grant sorry dominic cummings was actually symptomatic he was ill already so with his wife and they went to the children's his child grandparents people have asked in this daily briefing is it now ok for the general public to do that more or less and the deputy chief medical officer has repeated the guidelines saying that well she didn't address mr cummings is incident but she said the advice is that people who are symptomatic taken out of the public domain they self isolate at home with their entire family so she didn't want to get drawn into the matter but clearly there is a feeling that the advice was totally at odds with what dominic cummings has done at a time when people were being told for example that they couldn't be with a loved one who was dying of coded 90 because of those guidelines and i think the
6:40 pm
pressure will increase in the hours to come at the moment cabinet ministers rallying around mr cummings part surprising. boris johnson so quickly because now what what that means is that if this rumbles on there's no no way out the guy that dominic cummings will have to resign and all these becomes a growing growing annoyance for the government kim i think that najib over there across developments in london. in that is slowly easing out of lockdown but for some it's not coming fast enough business is dependent on the tourist trade or at risk visited stay away during the normally busy summer the challenge facing the government is protecting public health as well as companies from bankruptcy now insulate has more from kendall in cumbria. this is what the british government wants to see mass testing barrow in furness on the northwestern coast has proved
6:41 pm
a model and surprisingly it's demonstrated a higher infection rate than other places which aren't testing yet it's also lets a barrow somehow being accused of poor hygiene standards not only do they think that's deeply unfair they also worry that the government doesn't really understand what's happening so. that's why we want this considered russian approach to moving forward in which we have also but also that we do. we don't penalize businesses in the following to make matters worse the high infection rate in the north west has come a time when its famous beauty spots should be full of families but the message from the authorities so far has been to stay away in towns like kendall the effects of that has been this unemployment has risen by over 300 percent this part of england is now in the unique position as having had the highest code infection rates in the country but also now the highest rise in the unemployment rate the local health

authority is seen as having done a very good job in the hospitals here are not overwhelmed but businesses are starting to really suffer and that's leaving many people to start asking what's actually worse the disease or the cure every single person we spoke to said that they wanted restrictions eased as a matter of urgency and it seems to me they were run by people who do not understand statistics and they've managed to some really frightened enough people i mean you know members of my family still genuinely think we should cower indoors and i thank you we need to start living again there's a lot of businesses here. we know that might not be able to carry on sad to see who actually my appear on the high street at the end of all this you know he might reopen and he won't the sign saying stay away or go home have disappeared. though it's still impossible to book a hotel room the totally opposing demands to protect public health while keeping
6:43 pm
