1110 favela. we have just recovered from 1000 member cells and are now working on their day off to help those in need which. hospitals are full most cases were not serious so this way we could help them to going to people where to go with visiting people and also to see their problems in the hope. small houses with not a lot of air flow we could give an overall guidance ok and cleaning. as the amount of cases of coal with 1000 continues to rise in brazil these doctors believe that early detection is crucial to saving lives. that's why they have turned this somber school into a temporary office story coming to these people have been historically abandoned by society and politicians they have no access to public health care a cannot afford medicines that is why we are here. people like that the end of the

sources say they have been abandoned by the government don't you it makes you scared very scared there are a lot of people who believe the virus is a lie from the politicians but it's not a lie we know what we're talking about my neighbor had it and recovered i have other friends infected a friend died it's very sad. the demographic density in the last increases the chances of catching covert 19. in the past few days human rights activists have to announce a change in the body removal protocols what once was a public service now depends on the relatives of the deceased before you reach such after 27 hours a body was removed from this house it is absurd what the state is doing with people who do not even have a chance to bury their dead. it's all happening as brazil is caught in a political crisis that has polarized the country between those who believe the way out is by imposing a lockdown and those precedents. who want to open up the economy the

fight has forced governors to clash with water not 0. on tuesday the police raided the residence of rio's governor wilson reed cell who is being investigated for corruption in the handling of covert 19. said on twitter is using the federal police to attack him. caught in the middle of the dispute are the victims of brazil's political system which is failing to protect those who are in need of help the most. and now a new report says warning that venezuela is so poorly equipped to deal with the coronavirus it could make things worse for the whole region millions of venezuelans have fled the country in recent years as a deals with an economic crisis that has left many struggling for basic supplies human rights watch and johns hopkins university say its lack of capacity to deal with covert 19 could worsen the situation at the borders and reports. a ticking

time bomb that's how a report published on tuesday by human rights watch in john hopkins university describes the converging crisis of venezuela's collapsing health care system and the rampant coronavirus pandemic doctors around the world earth last year have already denounced the deteriorating conditions in hospitals across the country many are without access to running water and shortages of even basic medicine are commonplace sort of the immediacy and cost of the venezuelan government has so far confirmed just over a 1000 cases of coronavirus and 10 deaths numbers the researchers say are impossible to believe. the venezuelan government doctor is absurd in a country where doctors don't even have water to wash their hands the health care system is totally collapsed people are overcrowded and poor neighborhoods and prisons and authorities harass and chase journalists doctors and nurses who are

trying to inform people doctors interviewed for the report described their working conditions and the plight of patients as the plausible missions are asked to bring the water for a mission which means that for the most vulnerable of or that becomes a huge obstacle for admission to the hospital they have to bring 25 liters of water which is really quite expensive so why don't they're asked to bring us not only for their own consumption but even to flush toilets in some cases this iteration is so dire that patients are being told to the f.a.q. and you're only outside the hospital in a car which creates a whole august of. one of the doctors desperate to be able to wash its hands before a procedure to use the water that was dripping from air conditioners. years of economic and political turmoil have led millions of venezuelans to seek refuge elsewhere more than 5000000 have fled in the past 6 years thousands are now going

back as the pandemic ravages the economies of receiving countries the to a future there may be even worse listen to them. now on to some other news and u.s. president on a trial that has run into trouble but his favorite form of communication twitter has able to tweet some has official account as misleading for the fast time and refers uses to a fact check page trump says the social media company is stifling free speech and interfering with the presidential election later this year in afraid as the chief technology correspondent at the news website axion says it's taken a long time to act on these types of tweets there are 2 areas where twitter has said specifically they would be more aggressive one of those is misinformation around the virus so we've seen them take action against the brazilian president over that and then also on election misinformation so this is one of the 2 areas

where they said they'd be more aggressive that they have never taken action in 3 and a half years of presidential tweets and there have been plenty that have been misleading this is the 1st time that they've way bill that so it's still a major moment i think there's been a lot of pressure but initially if you remember in 201617188 lot of the focus was on were needed in authentic behavior so outside of the u.s. influences on elections so whether it was russia or china or whomever it was other countries using bots attempting to interfere the more recent issue has to do with misinformation but intentional by individuals so it's not you know them to behavior it's actually president term it's just that the information itself is false and the platforms have been much less able to deal with this it's much easier for them to take a look at you know a 1000 bots that are repeating the same thing and saying ok that's definitely not

allowed where it gets harder when you have the actual president whether it's brazil's president tweeting misinformation about the coronavirus or president trump tweeting false information about the election that is much harder. well twitter has not too removed another series of controversial tweets described as vicious lies he's questioned whether t.v. show host scada got away with murder after the death of an intern in his office 20 years ago police ruled that she had heart problems and scarborough is in another city russia says it backs an immediate cease fire and talks to form a united governing body in libya that's after the u.s. accused russia of deploying more fighter jets to help warlord khalifa haftar his forces have been trying to seize the capital tripoli from the un recognized government many russian messner is already withdrawn from southern tripoli and libya's government says its forces found large amounts of ammunition left behind in

that area what are the what he does in tripoli and says it appears that russia is still fueling the conflict. on the libyan side if the speaker of the parliament that's who have to the parliament is calling. for a political solution but on the ground there are. fears about a against the internationally recognized government and you know that the death toll is huge including civilians women and children so for 15 months of heavy fighting in southern tripoli on the russian level it's also contradictory there is some kind of irony in the. in the russian situation as you know on the political situation it backs a political solution and give rove told our get us on the speaker of the libyan parliament today that there is no military solution to the libyan crisis but

meanwhile russia is fuelling the conflict on the ground according to the africa africa command russia has recently introduced advanced a 4th generation fighter jets to be fighting in favor of the warlord who for have to against the internationally recognized government now riot police are in place around hong kong for legislative council as it begins debasing a law that could see people jailed for disrespecting china's national anthem and comes as beijing prepares to push through a new security law for the territory let's go live now to our correspondent adrian brown who is outside the legislative council in hong kong did i say that given the boost to security since yesterday calls for protests last night didn't materialize and the 2nd reading of that national anthem bill has already begun and it's looking pretty quiet this. yes as you can see it's very quiet indeed no protesters here that's because of course the police have

a large security operation now in place about 3000 police have been to lloyd throughout this part of hong kong and they've been fanning out into the nearby streets of one shy and admiralty carrying out stop and search operations also of course you can see these vast water filled security barriers they are right round the legislative complex now the 2nd reading of the national anthem bill has now begun that his jus to last for 30 hours which of course means it's not going to end today we expect a vote to happen actually on june 4th which is a very sensitive anniversary here in hong kong because june the 4th marks the the 31st anniversary of course of the crushing of the pro-democracy movement in beijing in 1989 now the reason why this bill is being discussed now is that the leadership in beijing is infuriated that every time the march of the volunteers the chinese national anthem is played here in kong hong kong at major events like soccer

matches people often tend to boo the national anthem now what will happen is that if that happens in the future people face you know a fine of up to 6 and a half $1000.00 or up to 3 years in jail there is of course another anthem that's being sung here in hong kong going to see an official national anthem and that's what you hear more and more of both authorized and authorized protests so as i say we expect a vote to happen on june the 4th discussions will carry on today and possibly into tomorrow as well as into next week and 18 people in hong kong are just angry about this national anthem but also this proposed national security law that's potentially being imposed by beijing that season details have now been leaked to hong kong media what are you hearing. that's right i mean china's leaders are much more concerned about the national security act now china's rubberstamp parliament the national people's congress is jus to vote on this on

thursday and it could become law before september when hong kong is jus to hold elections for the parliament building behind me we've had very few details about the security at we know that it's going to cover things like sedition subversion separatism as well as terrorism but overnight some details were leaked to hong kong media and it seems that the scope of this act is now going to spread not just from acts but also to individuals rather but also to organizations which means that you know potentially n.g.o.s non-governmental organizations like amnesty international which has an office here in hong kong could well find themselves the target of this new law now hong kong's chief executive kerry lam continues to offer a robust defense of this law he says what hong kong is getting is what many other jurisdictions in the world already have and he continues to insist that hong kong's

rights and freedoms will continue that this law will only cover a very narrow scope of acts president trump has also been talking about hong kong in the past few hours he says of this if this act is passed it will be a disaster for hong kong remaining in international financial center and he says that the united states will be issuing an interesting response in the coming days when you're watching that very closely adrian brown there for us on the ground in hong kong thank you. well still ahead here on out as they are with many airports disaster we'll look at how some so-called travel bubbles could help a struggling industry get back on its forms. hello once again we've seen some flooding recently into miami some very heavy rain
