although it will just be a minimum strength tropical storm as it actually comes on shore but the rain still continuing close to sydney with a cool $580.00. the the at. al-jazeera. hello i'm barbara sara this is the al-jazeera news hour live from london thanks for joining us coming up in the next 60 minutes brazil's accelerating coronavirus crisis infections continue to climb but the real scale of the outbreak is far from clear. as rescue turns to recovery in karachi one of 2 survivors from friday's plane crash recounts how he escaped the wreckage. the battle for control

of libya's capital the internationally recognized government closed back more territory from warlords police have tagged and the spain announces plans to welcome international tourists just in time for the summer holiday season. brazil has overtaken russia and now has the 2nd highest number of corona virus cases 2nd only to the united states confirmed infections are now above 330000 the death toll is more than 21000 that is based on official figures but experts say the total could be as much as 15 times higher because of lack of testing brazil's infections are not expected to peak until next month's states and cities are now

grappling with whether to loosen restrictions or clamp down even harder the pandemic and the government's response to it is an issue which has polarized the country. my father has coronavirus and psychologically he's very affected and upset the landscape changes very quickly in a hospital one moment one person dies and another is discharged he gets very angry he's very afraid of dying because a lot of people are dying. you don't have to study politics to know what this is all about i saw the news about brazil having the 2nd highest number of infections in the world that says. they want to overthrow a president by dividing us. and he is live in colombia's capital bogota for us following the story it was very clear just listening to those very short interviews there from people there how divisive the issue is so how easy is it to get a clear understanding of the scale of the outbreak in brazil. it's

very difficult and something that worries the majority of brazilians as the numbers keep rising but at the same time as you were saying the country is truly the of either on these political issues on the fact the president was so narrow and his core base of supporters keep downplaying the effect of the pandemic across the country but now even the government had to admit as it has. as it did yesterday that the real face of the pandemic might be much worse than what the official numbers are showing the government for example is saying that according to their count there could be a least another 11000 dead that have been unaccounted for so far that the government believes might be related to the covey of 19 but for the lack of testing

there's no way to confirm if indeed these people have also died kovi the 19 and under now another number that i think tells us a lot about that is the fact that the government says that this year so far there have been 5 times the number of people who have been hospitalized for respect respect at thore issues but less than half of those have been tested to see if indeed they have corona virus so that's the situation in brazil we also understand that a number of laboratories are sitting idle that there is a big backlog in the testing for lack of materials but they are to the role of war so now out of the president giving the fact that this is not his priority has meant that it's been difficult for brazil or more difficult to get those material and try to speed up the testing which would help to get

a more clear picture yet listen to mean you mentioned the president and he has been continuously downplaying this crisis and also trying to fend of claims about the way that he has handled or not handled it apparently. absolutely every report and many times on the way both sinatras been attacking mayors and governors that have been imposing isolation measures and different cities and regions to try and at least slow down the spread of infections throughout the country and now about sinatra. i mean all of the country has seen both in a video yesterday of a recent cabinet meeting where he was cursing on these mayors and governors and also explaining why he was trying to sack the head of the police of religion nato

and the federal head of the police and also attacked his former minister said who is considered the end to corruption in the country and he is now accusing both an arrow of interference and so today both so that i was again trying to dismiss those accusations but you used another force just collapsed there's not a 2nd in the video with someone could suspect or interfered with federal police i'm sorry mr serge or more i don't know what your interests i will not be foolish enough to make false accusations i hope you are happy and in peace. so a very complex situation with the politics coming in the way of the health response to what has now become the worst affected country not only in latin america but the 2nd most affected in the world after only the united states. pity with the latest

there on the situation in brazil a listen thank you. well the pandemic is also threatening brazil's indigenous communities infections are quickly rising in densely populated amazon cities and are now spreading to more isolated villages that the lopez you know that has more. it's a 5 hour boat ride from the amazons of largest city to the tourists only those indigenous village people here are locked out all visitors hoping isolation will keep them safe from the virus but it didn't cover 1000 is spreading to isolated villages like this one as infections arise in some of the regions highly populated cities about 100 people live here and about 16 have tested positive your superior to the flare the virus is treacherous it came quietly as if carried by the wind we started

dating i thought it was a bad cold but people got worse even after taking medicine made at home or taking antibiotics and antiinflammatories. many here believe the disease came from the river that connects the village to menow so that's one of the cities hardest hit by the outbreak in brazil and where there aren't enough coffins to bury the dirt testing for the virus in brazil is already behind that of other countries and these remote communities have little to work with got to do more with less about we are in this battle to see if the virus leaves the area and to make sure no one dies we have to advise or people so that infection stop. before the pandemic president hey boy so now those plans for deforestation in the amazon led to a tense relationship with indigenous communities and. health experts are now urging the government to protect such groups. this.

repartees to very important to be able to diagnose cases so that medical protocol is of social distancing can be followed right now we're testing people in several communities and towns in the amazon. many in these communities say they can only hope such measures will protect them from an invisible enemy that's now threatening the survival of their tribe. now dizzier or for more on this we can speak to sarah dupont she's the founder and president of the amazon aid foundation sara joins us live now from charlottesville via skype adam thank you so much for joining us here on the al-jazeera i don't know if you could hear our report that we just played out but in your own words what makes the communities living in the amazon so vulnerable to cope with 1000 right now. well thank you barbara for having me on what i like to say 1st personally i am mix stream way terrified is what's going on down there is next an existential threat and an

emergency with global consequences since the fires happened this past fall and the rise in deforestation and specially in places like brazil the amazon has moved now into that tipping point. and with that now now we are have great concern about what's happening with the indigenous communities who are extremely extremely vulnerable to this virus they don't have the infrastructure to handle it they don't health care systems they many of them live in very very remote areas of the amazon and to be honest what's happening now is there's a lot of land grabbing going on and people are coming out into the amazon into these indigenous territories to mining and de forest. grab the amazons national resources and along with it they're bringing that was

extremely extremely concerning concerning. if we lose the indigenous and force offenders of the amazon we will the amazon will be even more in a part pretty hairy situation so focusing for now on the actual the people who live in the amazon the communities there what do you think could be done to help them right now and do you think much of that is actually being done. well the really interesting news is that pre. alliances there has been been our alliance that has come together of the largest amazonia and local n.g.o.s. indigenous federations that have come together to figure out how we can help with this emergency and this was just launched about 10 days ago it's the emergency the amazon emergency fine we hope to raise 5000000 dollars and 60 days is

led by the indigent indigenous peoples of the amazon and it's very well thought out how we can actually get the fines to help the people on the ground because governments frankly are not all stepping forward to help the indigenous peoples right now and we have great concern that there could be a lot of these critical forced offenders and knowledge keepers who have lived there for centuries you mentioned trying to raise 5000000 dollars in 60 days i mean obviously countries all over the world have been hit by the coronavirus there is economic trouble everywhere the whole world is potentially entering recession remind our viewers and people watching now why it is so important to help the amazon and the people living there of course the communities and and the amazon forest itself. well the amazon rain forest is one of the most important land

ecosystems for the health of our planet 20 percent of the threat planet's fresh water flows through the amazon to the sea it has some of the high as numbers of fiber see on the planet is a huge carbon sink is 390000000000 trees pully and carbon from the atmosphere as they grow is also one of the most important parts of the amazon hydrological cycle which releases around 20000000000 tons and also again it's really important 20000000000 tons of moisture into the atmosphere every single day and it's see it's the clouds with rain and you have to have a certain amount of trees to continue that cycle and we're worried and that's why we're in the tipping point right now if that were to forcing the amazon is such high rates that that cycle that that major. moisture going in

that misfire will stop and the amazon will turn into savannah so the indigenous people are critical because they are the defenders of the amazon they protect it they've been living there for centuries they they've lived in her money there they are the ambassador is and they are the knowledge keepers of all the land so having these people in the situation these critical wonderful peoples in a situation where we're frankly looking at possible at this is just unacceptable sara dupont founder and president of the amazon aids foundation thank you for sharing your views with us thank you. now coming up on al-jazeera this news hour after losing everything the survivors of bangladesh a psych loan say they desperately need government help a top u.k. government adviser refuses to step down despite breaching the country's lockdown.

1st coronavirus death in gaza officials say the 77 year old woman had been in quarantine after returning to the territory through egypt on tuesday the united nations has warned that a krone virus outbreak in palestine could be disastrous given the high poverty rates and health system the coastal strip has been under israeli blockade since 2007. no new corner virus infections have been reported in china for the 1st day since the outbreak was 1st reported there in the center but health workers have warned of some suspected cases testings been increased including in the which is where the disease was 1st noticed and wearing masks in crowded places such as supermarkets and shopping centers remains on the tree between a u. has more details from beijing. amal's are in today no new cases that means no imported cases no asymptomatic cases according to official figures but china is not

out of the woods yet we do know that there are at least 2 active clusters of the corinna virus 5 or 6 cases were identified some weeks ago in ruhani at the center of the outbreak and that's a citywide testing schemes are millions have been tested in the last few weeks and perhaps more worrying for authorities is a cluster in jilin province which is in china's north east and there have been more than 100 cases identified there recently and actually 2 small cities have been put into lockdown. lockdown with some residential compound sealed off and travel restricted in and out of those cities are definitely while it is a good very good news for today we still have those suspected cases and still china's fight against the coronaviruses is far from over scientists around the world are racing to find a vaccine for the corona virus 1st laboratory to start clinical trials on humans is in beijing and they've just published their initial results scientists gave one

$108.00 healthy adults a test of the vaccine and after $28.00 days none of them showed serious adverse reactions researchers say that there are enough signs of immunity for further investigation the results will now be reviewed and compared with others over the next 6 months for more on this we spoke to sinead who is an infectious disease doctor and professor at australian national university he says he's cautiously optimistic about researchers finding a suitable vaccine so soon. with the phase one trial we're looking at safety and there have been no serious adverse effects they also looked at immunity and found that the volunteers who received the vaccine had good strong immune responses so it is promising them that they think they should go on to the next level of testing phrase 2 and hopefully phase 3 studies the limitations of it being phase one it's

only a small number of people so it may not pick up rare side effects it only used young healthy people so we don't know if the vulnerable people would cope with 9 people just the elderly will respond and. it's short follow up as well so they only followed up to 28 days but for the long term health of mankind we need to make sure that a number of these different vaccines succeed with different mechanisms coming from different countries because you never know if you just rely on a single back city that supply chain dries up something happens with the factory a production then we're in trouble well scientists in thailand have also started testing a possible covert 1000 vaccine but on monkeys 13 monkeys who are exposed to several strains of the virus after receiving the vaccine to test whether it works the

scientists hope the human trial can start before the end of the war more than $100.00 potential vaccines for covert $1000.00 being developed around the world including several in clinical trials. still to come on i'll just say read this news hour as hong kong braces for more protests the last governor of the british colony calls china's proposed security law a betrayal by a new dictatorship plus. i'm joined now on the isle of wight where one british care home has managed to protect its residents entirely from code 19 thanks to a cost and lockdown including stop living in tents and caravans in the garden. and a rather unsettled picture across much of central europe plenty of rain showers and

looking for a signal from the prime minister a bit of sun tear that today announced that we will be reopening to foreign tourism in from the market month of july what he does send he sent 2 messages that these this return of these the opening of the borders for for international tourists and for domestic tourism as well because he's trying to implement that spaniards easier . take their holidays in spain in order to reactivate the economy he's got on teaching this will be safety for the people that are coming in and for the spaniards that are traveling to the spanish nation. several u.k. media reports have questioned the explanation offered by the prime minister's key advisor as to why he traveled hundreds of kilometers during lockdown dominic cummings left london for his parents' home in northern england while his wife showed covert $1000.00 symptoms the government says the trip was to arrange care for his young son the guardian and the mirror newspapers are now reporting cummings

may have made a 2nd a trip outside of london during lockdown the prime minister's office described the new reports as inaccurate meanwhile at least a quarter of all u.k. deaths from the corona virus have taken place in the country's care homes some managers took matters into their own hands to protect their elderly residents and staff at the start of the pandemic john hall reports from one of those holes on the isle of wight off the english south coast. they've been thousands of deaths among the elderly and frail as covert 19 taught through britain's career home sector but not here at victoria house on the isle of wight 2 months ago and with no guidance from the government manager clare leggett to put the home into self isolation she reduced staff numbers with those who remained agreeing to live on the premises in tents and caravans to keep the virus out because our age range of residents here

range from in their eighty's up to 103 i'm i thought it was just about being proactive and locking the home down renee i just didn't think that i had any other choice to be honest with you i've been here 7 weeks now victoria house. and. 7 weeks is very comfortable where we warm. me up for really enjoyed it and we all adore and my family dance as if there was a mom and dad and that's how we should say there's been some tears but there's been more happy times in tears and if i had to do it all again. if i had to yes i would jump at the chance to do a little jolt trickly hill hasn't seen his fiance in person for weeks and it could be many weeks more before the elderly and vulnerable can emerge from isolation i mean i wouldn't of a word like you're looking looking for today and i'm sure as everyone in the world is you know the day that we can say it's safe to step outside just go back to

normal normal freely i asked claire whether she feels the care home sector has been let down by the government i think it's really disappointing you know it's almost like we've just been forgotten about relating you know i mean it was only last week that i received texts for the care home so i think the father waited for the government to give out some guidance on what we as a care home should it be too late you know i wouldn't have any residence we had down and we had to. kind of if we began a champagne some man like me like a champ tonight he's very. very sure on top of the world is that you're a man. in the midst of an unthinkable crisis in british care homes as a result of covert 19 this is a very rich good news story as a result of a policy of no one in no one out since the beginning of the lock down they've

managed to keep every one of their residents here safe from the virus and that is thanks to the initiative and extraordinary dedication of the staff and their actions may well have saved lives jono al-jazeera on the isle of wight nearly 3000000000 people have had to live in various forms of lockdown since the coronavirus pandemic struck the restrictions continue to have a major impact on the mental health of many of those people a survey by the u.k.'s mental health foundation found almost one in 4 adults question had feelings of loneliness during lock down that figure was one in 10 shortly before lock down for those aged between 18 and 24 the lock down figure was 44 percent compared with 18 percent before locked down italy's order of psychologists found 8 in 10 italian surveyed needed psychological support to get

through the pandemic while a study in one ethiopian state found a 3rd of people had symptoms consistent with it the press of the sort are a 14 fold increase compared to estimates before the pandemic. bill has sam works in the u.k.'s national health service and is leading the covert 1000 response for the international humanitarian charity penny appeal he joins us live now via skype from that leads sir thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera what is it specifically about the lockdown that has proved so damaging for so many people's mental health when you look down really is the natural states and right at the beginning of the crisis you saw while leaders from across the planet risk to the coronavirus is putting the world on war footing that we haven't seen such measures taken since the last world was well walgreens but the trauma it brings with it fear of harm it brings with it restructures the movement and all of

this in power by the lock down so we really experience to a degree what soldiers might be experiencing on the ground and what we know war is that what comes after is was traumatic stress disorder and what we what we what we feel and what i feel is that going coming out of the law we can expect many people to exhibit very similar symptoms to post traumatic stress disorder perhaps suppose the lockdown disorder and what could those symptoms be like or could they or could they be. well there is sort of a range of different sorts of symptoms p.t.s.d. is most commonly associated with naked thoughts sometimes difficulty sleeping and it can lead to destructive destructive behavior like substance abuse neglect low mood and depression and these are already things which people in a lot of reports in you seeing an increase in suicide ideation an increase in use

of help plans that this is not the one that we want any of the or who are people's well being in people's mental health is really being impacted which groups are more vulnerable because we looked at one study or actually it was younger people the 18 to 24 year olds that were particularly hit by mental health problems absolutely you know we're social and young people in particular the most socially mobile that were around the scene that friends in the workplace and people in adversity in schools or you know those spaces are often safe spaces that alarms cross that's real life and allow you to connect outside of your your own bubble so when you're stuck at home and if you just think about it you know children in particular are so vulnerable they you know if you want to keep a child at home if you want to stop them from seeing that friends take them away from school you would be good if your child is in a normal circumstance so you will really excite young people to the impact and significantly and so the support really needs to be there i mean you've made the comparison within the sort of you know potentially having p.t.s.d.

post lockdown to soldiers coming back from a war and what they've experienced but of course the big difference is that lockdown here was a shared experience the whole of society was under the same constraints so those that make it easier or worse when it comes to actually being able to help friends that you might see are probably struggling. you know well it's a mixture it's a mixed picture no doubt you know soldiers often you know they come out traveling but a sense of fraternity and and brotherhood is this that is really important as we come out of this lockdown and even join a lot don't need to take those measures but we reach out to friends in the limited ways that we can and we shut the members so that we can connect so that we can talk about our experiences the challenge however is that those those individuals who are perhaps most vulnerable the elderly young people who are isolated students who are isolated no loan you know who perhaps might have elderly parents compazine those

are going to be even more vulnerable now cote of course that the cove in $1000.00 crisis hit so many levels financially a lot of countries are heading into recession of course when it comes to physical health because of the effects of covert itself so do you think that enough attention and i guess enough funds are being directed at the mental health side of this. well look the last recession that it but well resulted in just in the u.s. and u.k. alone approximately an additional an additional $10000.00 suicides now that was just the that was just the economic crisis we are experiencing a health crisis on top of an economic crisis on top of a social crisis and in many places a political crisis so we can expect waves of individuals people who never ever thought it would need some or their mental health requiring additional services so one short term measure will be bolstering those mental health provision bulbul streamer mental health services across countries but perhaps more importantly not

activists who say china is only interested in imposing its will on the semi autonomous territory chief executive kerry lam says her government will cooperate with beijing's proposal and it will not affect people's rights and freedoms brown has more now from hong kong. on the day china announced it was bypassing hong kong's parliament to push through a new security law the city's leader was putting on a brave face surrounded by her cabinet kerry said hong kong people and foreign investors had nothing to fear as she offered support for the legislation there will be protests of all sorts in hong kong as we have seen but the important thing is for the people hong kong to realize that without protection of national security many of the things that we enjoy many of the things that we treasure. will be lost. when china regained sovereignty over hong kong from britain in

1997 it promised the city a high degree of autonomy for 50 years. but china's leadership now says those freedoms are being undermined by violent protests subversion cools for independence and foreign interference. and under the basic law hong kong's mini constitution they say they have the right to impose security legislation we're only on friday the vice chairman of china's national people's congress. confirmed that china's security agents will operate in hong kong when needed words that have unsettled many people here they all feel that the one country 2 systems is dead and and now the reaction is general penny people would like you and me grey and making preparations to leave home come some people we spoke to said the law was long overdue others resigned to it i think. it would have happened anyway like if the

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 a 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 about $3.00 to $4.00 times more. seedlings this this year than it did last year and they don't have. so it's kind of just to ensure that the supply chain throughout the season is insured for everyone for and for us a lot of the citizens more and more lebanese are falling into poverty non-governmental organizations and charities are stepping in and this supermarket everything is free
