out towards the gulf of guinea and then by monday we'll see a system developing just off the coast of south africa's a corner. with. back on the streets thousands of pro-democracy protesters gather in hong kong angry at china's plans for a new national security team. and sam is a there and this is al jazeera live from the house so coming up a subdued day the across the muslim world due to coronaviruses it marks the end of ramadan. and a virus infections skyrocket across brazil the worst affected country in latin

america. a crisis unfolding in. the world food program warns 130000000 people could be pushed close to starvation by the pandemic. first begin in hong kong where police have fired volleys of tear gas at protesters of the thousands turned out to oppose china's proposed national security law demonstrators have blocked streets in the territories popular shopping district or swayed by the bill would ban all activities considered subversive activists say it would be the end of hong kong's autonomy. and brown joins us now from hong kong major i saw moments ago police moved you along how things shaping up now. well i think in this corner of

causeway bay the police to slowly regaining control of the streets following a number of skirmishes earlier on sunday afternoon when tear gas was fired now these protests make it all very reminiscent of actually what happened a year ago when we had large protests also in this part of hong kong now these protesters of course are taking part in an unauthorized assembly but also they're defying a social distancing rules which ban groups of more than 8 people gathering in one place what we've seen today about known as a free flow up aeration which means that the protesters are we heading in all sorts of different directions in this part of hong kong now this was the biggest protest since january since the beginning of covert 90 but it's not of the scale of what we saw say you know 11198 months ago yes tear gas was fired there has been at least

one arrest that al-jazeera witnessed but what it shows is that the people here are prepared to come out and defied you know social distancing defied orders not to protest because of the depth of anger over this planned security law for hong kong some people carried banners that said that you know the communist party will be destroyed in heaven others carried banners supporting hong kong independence now you know in a few months time if this law does indeed take effect then then you know things like that could well it's fair to assume resulted in you know people being arrested and getting long custody all sentences potentially the problem with this last tommy is a so much that we don't really know about it it's all down to what china's definition is of a protest. freedom of speech incitement to protest. and you know what we've seen today i think are examples of the sort of things that china's government would

categorize as subversion or sedition take your pick. or i know that will come back to you later to check up on things for now that was adrian brown from hong kong. now in mecca one of the most sacred cities in the sam public prayers to marquee dilfer 3 have been taken place but only a few dozen worshippers gathered at the great mosque saudi arabia has imposed around the clock curfew after infections surged almost 70000 it's a different picture in pakistan where large gatherings spotted across the country in the largest city karate public prayers to market been taking place despite the threat of the virus spreading from scholars urged people to follow social distancing during celebrations unlike many other countries under lockdown muslims in iran are being allowed to pray inside mosques president has some rouhani has been easing restrictions since april some businesses historical sites and museums

are being allowed to reopen from sunday the government is urging people not to travel during the holiday so he's in toronto with the latest for us this is an aid like no other right zain. that's exactly right sammy covert 19 has had a massive impact on how easy that is being celebrated here howie prayers have been offered here into iran in one of the main grounds where traditionally the supreme leader himself would lead prayers and then give a sermon those were completely canceled iranians said normally millions would show up to that but that didn't happen at all 'd here in downtown at the mosque behind me either prayers were supposed to be held those were canceled just this morning and people were sent to the campus mosque on to her own university now we visited that mosque and in the streets around the campus for the university in that mosque

across the campus normally on any given need there would be thousands of people offering prayers and coming for prayer services in the morning there would be multiple rounds of prayer services but where there were meant to be thousands there were only dozens there was a very small crowd both on the women section and the men's section and there simply wasn't the same sort of festive atmosphere that is normally associated with this part of the city during this time of the year one woman we spoke to said that it was her 1st time stepping out of the house since she had been observing lockdown measures that were put into place months ago to deal with the pandemic another family that we met said that they were from a different province but were stuck into iran because they were observing the lockdown measures that the government has put in place now the health ministry as you said is concerned that the holidays might be another time where this this virus could once again spread we have to remember around the rooms holidays when people

were sent home when schools were closed when offices were closed that was when the government had told people not to travel but people did travel and that was one of the main reasons that the virus spread so rapidly to all the provinces in. this country the health minister has warned the health ministry has issued warnings telling people not to repeat that not to travel across the country during this holiday period however we see that that warning comes at a time when president hassan rouhani has announced that the lucrative tourism sector will begin to reopen tourism will be allowed to reopen tourists tourist operators will be allowed to begin giving tours again tourism sites will be reopened for visitors many shrines even the larger ones the interior of the shrines won't be open but court yards will be open for people to visit cafes restaurants many businesses will start opening later in the week and the country is sort of going back to normal so despite the fact that people are not coming in they have

not come out for prayers they're still observing lockdown measures the country has made the calculus of trying to come to an acceptable level of infection and death rates to be able to get the country back on the road to some sort of economic for economic movement forward. thanks for that. brazil now has the 2nd highest number of coronavirus cases in the world behind the u.s. it's confirmed nearly 350000 infections more than 22000 people have died it's believed the total could be even higher as brazil was slow to introduce testing the w.h.o. says that america is the new epicenter but many countries are torn between loosening restrictions and tightening them. coming under increasing pressure. while he opposed many restrictions to stop it spreading. reports

to defend a tirade caught on video was 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 was in damage control mode but without a hint of remorse. 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 fast 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 brazil is now the 2nd worst affected nation in the world behind the united states and experts believe the reality of the pandemic is significantly worse than what the official numbers show. government officials that made it that there are thousands more deaths beyond the more than $21000.00 cases that could be related to team but that nobody will be able to test. it 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 city. being replaced but while most brazilians are horrified by the government response to the pandemic for the president's core base of supporters this is just

a ploy to kick him out of office no prosy is a. god you don't have to study politics very much to know what this is about us all the news about brazil today i think it's a sickening country with more positive cases that's certainly a lie they want to overthrow our president by dividing us that brazil is not alone in seeing a dramatic increase in cases in latin america but it's unique in its response from peru to chile or argentina a rise in cases means new measures are being put in place brazilians instead can expect political fights taking center stage while the cemetery i listen that i'm. in ecuador families of corona virus victims are searching for the remains of their loved ones with hospitals morgues and cemeteries overwhelmed hundreds of bodies have not been identified in the port of. many bodies have not been stored properly

and have begun decomposing was in new and has our report we should warn viewers you may find some of the images to be distressing. may have to be your 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 acute hospital and yet has been searching for her missing body ever since then the 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 alone who despair the family hold 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 respected

here they did as they pleased for even charge 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. still ahead of al-jazeera indigenous communities at risk the virus is spreading false and far brazil's amazon region. there might

be one of the poorest places in the u.k. but this whole town has taken around a virus in its stride. and a rather unsettled picture across much of central europe plenty of rain showers and sunny plenty of cloud as well as streaming in over the last few hours much of spain portugal and the matter of maine's fine and dry ice a nice sunny skies for the beach this is in valencia pente people taking up change to get out and about and then further up the coast into a very similar story as you can see more sunshine across much of spain and portugal as a go through sunday this is where the cavalry the across much of central europe some rain showers work their way eastwards all the time still are all the cool into western russia cloudy skies just 9 celsius in moscow the average is 18 for may

unfairly cloudy across into london and paris that will improve on monday more there in the way of sunshine the temperatures also steadily coming back up but again these temperatures are actually above the average at say 25 in paris 23 and london some rain showers meanwhile to northern sections of the u.k. and some fairly stiff winds maybe wanted to show was also developing late in the day across central areas of the spy so mostly clear that across much of northern africa we could just see want to show us some strong winds as well through central areas of algeria really the coastal areas it is warm it is sunny and these how much is certainly on the rise that she warned celsius and shipping on monday and will $32.00 in cairo. $2.00 to 0 to 0. let me also you how worried you are about the increase in hostilities in yemen we listen this is the moment to stop old military action this is the moment he cautions right on fighting over the idea we meet with global news

with prayers inside mosques government has been relaxing coronavirus restrictions since april some businesses historical sites and museums are also allowed to open. brazil now has the 2nd highest number of corona virus cases in the world almost 350000 or 22000 people have died many fear the actual numbers may be greater. the outbreak in brazil is also threatening indigenous communities factions are rising quickly in densely populated amazon cities. explains this flooding to remote places too. 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 rise in some of the regions highly populated cities about 100 people live here and about 16 have tested positive yes you really are the flare of 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 bits and made it home or taking antibiotics and anti inflammatory. 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 that 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. 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. is. the repetitious a very important to be able to diagnose cases so that medical protocol is of social distancing can be followed right now with 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 this year anger is growing among people in the indian city of call qatar after a powerful cyclon left millions without power and water.

people have demonstrated saying essential services have been restored days after site loan struck others blocked roads with trees bringing traffic to a standstill more than 100 people were killed by the storm in india and bangladesh . while towns and cities across the u.k. struggle with the impact of coronavirus one of the poorest places is coping with a pandemic jerry made international headlines when the united nations highlighted it as an example of how the british government has failed to deal with poverty lawrence visit the community here found its proved more resilient than most in coming together during the crisis. at the best of times j. week is a town on its knees the former seaside resort east of london has barely a shop or a doctor and many people have severe health issues as elsewhere several deaths have been reported in the local care home with the virus among the population everywhere

it sounds like a recipe for disaster dealing with a lockdown is proved difficult enough for communities across the u.k. which have all the things like food and medicines that anybody might ever wants and so you'd assume in a place like this with very limited supplies that things would have been doubly difficult in fact though the story of j. which has turned out to be one of triumph over adversity the 1st step was to find some money a mixture of handouts got them to the equivalent of about $3000.00 which doesn't sound like much so a couple of 1000 pounds we got some stock and some of the supermarkets and so we decided separate kitchen here yes with that they've already cooked hundreds of meals for the old and the sick who can't leave their homes stored in a donated freezer after their is packed up they did it on a shoestring and there's still that enough money for several more months the guys here obviously are doing prepackaged meals so they get they get delivered to people's doorsteps or anyone who's isolating for whatever reason and that means

they've got access to hot food. paper out collecting prescriptions from people and yeah every just mucks in and gets things done so this is the unique thing about j. week having spent years abandons they've had to learn to deal with crisis after crisis alone but you know we don't do what everyone else has been forced to change everything j. which believes he can cope with cold feet because he doesn't feel much different to how things usually are people. and gave me food clothing items to give to people about televisions are bad mobility scooters i've had bags and bags of shopping like 6 or 7 bags and that is basically how we are becoming a somewhat we doing as a community to help others not feel whatever stop us no god did not arrange a week was. whatever the weather 18 months ago the united nations human rights visited j. week and ended up condemning the british government for keeping the population in

poverty nothing whatsoever came out of it which was what j. was expected to happen they do a good job of ignoring the fact that they hardly have anything it seems to make the virus that bit less frightening largely al jazeera. the world food program says the pandemic could push an additional $130000000.00 people to the brink of starvation by the end of a year most live in sub-saharan africa nicholas hock reports from. inside the goals he's region. as children they were classmates joe point on to mit in the u.s. and around a multi-national company before returning home to become but town's mayor stated i had several children and opened a small stall selling peanuts now she's appealing to jump for help measures to stop the spread of coronavirus has also stopped her trade she and her family are going

hungry here normally food is very cheap here people are producing because should of which you see fish is very easy we have 15 kilometers from the sea and this is a very good decision we have never submitted any health food industry. beer job is meeting with town elders there deciding which families will receive state provided bags of rice each making their case because there's not enough food for everyone no one has been infected with the virus here yet but people are suffering from the viruses economic impact this is one of the largest markets in senegal people come here for food vegetables meat look at it now with been like this for weeks people here were shaken by a virus many of them hadn't heard of coming from china now impacting their lives here deep in senegal is countryside. joe pointed to transform not into the silicon

valley of senegal but into the shell of the region chinese investors opened fish processing factories in transformed barren fields into agricultural land for vegetables but with border shut the project is going rotten we need to stop the virus and find solutions so we can get people back to work because so many of us dependent farming to survive well the number of infections are multiplying in senegal the government is easing restrictions on movement fearing a looming food crisis. we need markets to reopen it's a question of survival. there is a sense that the measures to prevent the outbreak have become a heavy burden for many. in the face of hunger nicholas hark al-jazeera. libyan war logs after its pledge to continue his campaign to take the capital this by the series of setbacks over the past week forces fighting for libya's
