reflection amid a pandemic millions of muslims mark the end of ramadan. the number of chronic virus cases in latin america has surged brazil was overtaken russia to become the 2nd worst affected country after the united states confirmed infections are now above 340000 the death toll is more than $21000.00 it's thought the actual total could be even higher and factions in brazil are not expected to peak until next month a presenter of us in our has also been defending a tirade against a senior police officer that was caught on tape as a. reports. the day after he was seen on video explaining why he wanted to sack the federal police chief in an expletive ridden cabinet meeting brazilian president just both so matter was in damage control mode but without a hint of remorse if you blow. he dismissed accusations by his former justice

minister said hugh morrow of trying to interfere into police investigations explaining that he was instead talking about his security detail and refusing to hand over his phone as requested by opposition parties in congress. another just collapsed there's not a 2nd in the video where someone could suspect in the federal police i'm sorry mr. again posing as a victim i don't know what your interests will not be foolish enough to make false accusations i hope your happy and peace. might be increasingly against the ropes but remains relentless in downplaying the devastating effects of the corona virus spread in this country which on saturday reached another depressing record. the 2nd worst affected nation in the world behind the united states and experts believe the reality of the is significantly worse than what the official numbers

show. government officials that made it that there are at least 11 thousands more deaths beyond the more than $21000.00 confirmed cases that could be related to team but that nobody will be able to test. i am very worried about the evolution of the disease but also with all the changes in the government there is a lot of instability those who should be informing us and taking care of the situation of being replaced but while most brazilians are horrified by the government response to the mic for the president's core base of supporters this is just a ploy to kick him out of office. you don't have to study politics very much to know what this is about the news about brazil today i think it's a sickening country with more positive cases that certainly a lot i want to overthrow our president by dividing us. dramatic increasing. case is in latin america but it's unique in its response from

. a rising cases means new measures are being put in place resilience instead can expect political fights taking center stage while the cemeteries fill up alice in them. and ecuador families of crying over victims are desperately searching for the remains of their loved ones hundreds of bodies have never been identified as hospitals morgues and cemetaries become overwhelmed and the city of bodies have not been stored properly and are now decomposing well c.n.n. has our report and a warning viewers may find some of these images distressing. now had to be your to has been sitting at home with an empty coffin for 2 months. the grandmother who brought her up died on march 27th of coronavirus you know why akil hospital and yet has been searching for her missing body ever since then the bad it's very hard i

ask myself mommy where are you i wish i had her ashes in my house to know that she's here and that the family can all be together again i need this to be over. she's not from her despair the family holds signs asking where is my father my husband where are human rights. died on march 29th in hospital and the search for his body has been nothing short of horrifying. nobody at the hospital gave us an answer they just said he was in there so i went to the container where the corpses were to search for him one by one the only thing i found was the ticket with his name on it but to this day i still have found him. the pandemic at tropical problems and its capital totally unprepared bodies were left on the street others were piled up in containers at the morgue.

and now after 2 months many of them have decomposed because of inadequate refrigeration making their identification more difficult. but many relatives are giving up was at least 100 families have joined together on this day protesting outside of prosecutor's office. they're demanding that authorities produce results and punish those responsible. for. the protocols one perspective here they did as they pleased but even charged people for the right to go look through the bodies every day more people are in the situation. daughter is one of them yes. this was the death certificate they gave us and this one was to get my father out to bury him with this code the codes never existed just little pieces of paper on the body is full of blood. there's no doubt that the pandemic overwhelmed

health services here. but 2 months on the best thing that mourners like marjorie can hope for is that the system that failed them will right the wrong that's been done and eventually reunite them with their loved ones remains. you see in human. there is a heavy police presence in hong kong amid anger over a new national security law proposed by china has been a call for protests against the security bill which would ban all activities considered a burst subversive that is international criticism of the move has been growing activists say it would be the end of hong kong's autonomy these are live pictures right there of the crowds and brown is there in hong kong so adrian for months the world saw sustained protests thousands of protesters in hong kong of course that was before this pandemic what is it that we're seeing now.

will the zone times you feel as you say i mean no money this could be a very busy holiday because some day off you know you will be shopping what you see behind me though i'm not really sure because they are the test is posing a shopping signed by all taking part in an unofficial protesting of course that isn't defined old social distancing rules which say that groups of no more than 8 people think out there now we have 5 going to restore already during the past few months that is a minute set up the booze they have allowed a lot and he was complaining about the state of hong kong sell to those he was talking metaphorically he was referring a full stew home kong's political health we don't know the reason why he was arrested but we are seeing other acts of defiance people have just been singing hong kong's unofficial national anthem and behind me you can see the flanks of the united states also the former colonial flag of britain also in another part of the

street people are flying the fact fueling the phone call independence no fools to that proposed new law security bill that is about to be tabled in the national congress that would be all kind of thing so at the moment this is what the protesters are doing a cool even sign to take vote in a tool for nothing but i think at that moment the fisa house finding back but i would imagine that if the crowds continue to go. if the police found able to move the crowds on arriving i would suspect that probably use tear gas which is something that hasn't happened for a while $500.00 is there or is there any indication considering the times that we are living in that the the social distancing roles is there is there any indication of just how organizes and that it might continue to gather speed regardless of what i what the officials are telling you. well that they cannot do right now. oh.

well you know at the moment social distancing is to remain influenced until gene pool which of course is a very sensitive anniversary here in this part of it because of things because on june the full 989 that hundreds if not thousands of protesters were gunned down in the chinese capital i think it's quite possible that he did show that hong kong by then to extend those social distancing routes because the company can argue that there's still hope at 19 in this city states that have the more than 1000 cases killed fast and we're getting imported cases still coming in so the government could in a sense use that as an excuse to continue in full see those restrictions imposed by how that 19 and those social restrictions that go with it at being in a sense very convenient for the chinese government because this means it makes it

in a sense easier for them to push fluid controversial new rules that they will go home by the government to enact. ok adrian brown keeping us posted there from hong kong adrian thank you. the taliban in afghanistan's president have announced a 3 day cease fire for the holiday afghani has called on the military to honor the agreement and the u.s. has welcomed the surprise announcement calling it a momentous opportunity that should not be missed it as president of delphi has pardoned more than $3000.00 prisoners to coincide with the holiday among them as a hit man who murdered lebanese singer says and may meant to buy 820081 the orders of former egypt and pay him his sham talentless staffa now activists and journalists or little prisoners have been released. and a reminder al jazeera journalist likely to say remains jailed and egypt without charges or trial after almost 3 and a half years united nations has called on egypt to and hussein's arbitrary

detention and release him immediately. tell you fahmy is an associate professor of political science at long island university he says the move is a gamble to show his doing something for society so the president has been using the system of hardening on high holidays or national holidays as a way to kind of signify to society that he's doing something so today on the eve of the holiday we see over 3000 pardons not a single one of them with a prisoner or any journalist rather they are common criminals now let's look at what's actually happening in egypt there are over $60000.00 political prisoners what used to be generation protests is now known and generation jail he's had to build 16 more prisons to hold the sheer volume of prisoners there are 37 journalists currently being held in your call amnesty international just released their report on egypt saying that today journalism is a crime there have been 12 journalists arrested and continue to be detained in

egypt for morning on the coronavirus for example and so we're seeing news that the education of the law is not about the rule of law and protecting our society it's actually about part of the gamble of the president speaks as how he signifies the population that he's doing something for them when in reality he isn't. still ahead on al jazeera. rising and factions in the amazon cost to protect just mean base from covert $19.00 and. i'm going to hold on the watch with one british home has managed to protect its residents entirely from code 19 thanks to a cost lock down including stop living in tents and caravans in the garden.

and others a generally hot and dry picture throughout much of the middle east. here's a quote about how streaming through check in the last year as that is bringing with it if you shazam you could expect to see if you there the eastern end of the med but it was a nice day just off the shoulder in beirut certainly on friday not quite as nice as we head into sunday this rain showers working the way through the eastern end of the med it's all part of possibly this front working its way across turkey and that rain at times could be fairly heavy but tom it isn't too bad 18 degrees on sunday where we have got high temperatures is baghdad $46.00 degrees celsius some pretty strong winds are coming through the eastern med so that could also kick up some dust but the temperature doesn't prove on monday to 39 celsius in baghdad but the rain remains very heavy through these eastern areas of turkey but again feeling much better through the eastern end of the bad so $22.00 in jerusalem $23.00 in beirut central africa plenty of rain plenty of thunderstorms although a little bit of a break across eastern areas not so they're ready for the coast of tanzania more

rain certainly on sunday the winds a fairly brisk east coast and then plenty of activities are essential as the d.l.c. and tools the gulf of guinea and then by monday we'll see a system developing just off the coast of south africa so cool in the western cape town with a high of 80. a story of blackmail. i have strength of. a story of carnage a lot of the fear is real. passion. and it's very serious just. blew the.

who. are watching now it is here let's recap the top stories right now there's been a surge in the number of cases of chrono virus and latin america brazil has overtaken russia to become the 2nd worst affected country in the world after the united states. some protests in hong kong over a new national security law proposed by china these are live pictures there the security bill would ban all activities considered subversive activists say it would be the end of hong kong's autonomy and egypt as part of more than $3000.00 prisoners to coincide with each holiday among them is a hit man who murdered lebanese singer suzanne to me meant to buy in 2008 no activist journalist or political prisoners have been released. forces fighting for

been controlled by russian missionaries from the group to run the battles and the government and military sources say that the russian mercenaries set up a sort of valence equipment inside a military camp but the government forces say that they could not stay longer inside because hospitals forces have been targeting them with mortar rockets now the clashes are going on in the vicinity of the old an active international airport that has been under control of have put us forces for the past year in zone a neighborhood that the government forces say that they have managed to drive after us forces out pushing them back a few kilometers about in solar neighborhood here in southern tripoli and also in an area called the project neighborhood the government forces say that 2 civilians

managers have had to take matters into their own hands to protect their residents and staff general hall reports from one of those homes on the isle of wight. there's been thousands of deaths among the elderly and frail as covert 19 tour through britain's current home sector but not here at victoria and also on the isle of wight 2 months ago and with no guidance from the government manager clare leggett 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 $103.00. 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 very warm. i mean i have enjoyed it and we all

adore and my family is it and it's as if there was a mom and dad and that's how we should there's been some tears but there's been more happy times in 10 years and if i had to do it all again. if i had to yes i would jump at the chance to do a little again joel trickly he'll 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 for 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 is go back to normal normal fairly 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 do it be too late you know i wouldn't have any residence we had done. we had some champagne didn't we began a champagne some yes i like it on the stump it's like a t. shirt only 2 guys here very. rich and. you know what i can show on top of the world is that you are. in the midst of an unthinkable crisis in british homes as a result of code 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 is safe from the voters and that is thanks to the initiative an extraordinary dedication of the stuff and their actions may well have saved lives jono al-jazeera on the isle of wight at least 17 people have been detained after
