a 60 percent of brazilian support stricter social distancing measures in stark contrast to their president. and stormy weather forces space-x. to postpone the launch that will make it the 1st private company to send astronauts into orbit. the u.s. secretary of state has the liver to withering statement on china saying it's abandoning its commitments to preserve hong kong told me my pompei all says the proposed national security legislation for hong kong is a disastrous decision and means the city no longer warrants special economic treatment that's a move that puts of risk billions of dollars in trade in this statement said no reasonable person can assert today that hold. well maintains

a high degree of autonomy from china given facts on the ground he went on saying it is now clear that china is modeling hong kong after itself from pale finished with the promise that the united states stands with the people of hong kong as they struggle against the chinese communist party's increasing the nihil of the autonomy that they were promised. and that the u.s. is sending some of the last u.s. sanction waivers provided in the 2015 iranian nuclear deal meaning that russian chinese and european firms cannot continue work at sensitive it rainin nuclear sites the secretary of state has issued another statement saying companies have 60 days to stop their tit he's businesses from russia china and europe were allowed to operate to a handful of sites to make it more difficult for iran to produce nuclear weapons president trump unilaterally withdrew from the multilaterally ran a nuclear deal 2 years ago now. oh i cannot live in washington for an

overview of all 'd of this let's start with the iran and nuclear waiver which were just mentioned more mentioning now what do you think the impact of that will be because of course we all presume this is coming. it's well it is puts an end to any obama involvement in the iran situation president trump walked away from that joint comprehensive plan of action but after he did so waivers on certain sanctions were put in place these dealt with foreign companies operating at the iraq clear plant in particular not what they were doing is ensuring that iran did not attempt to upgrade to nuclear power to pass the t. or nuclear weapon ies capacity it was as many in the administration argued a window into iran's nuclear program and at the time the waivers were introduced after president trampled out of the nuclear deal to ensure exactly that to keep

some kind of eye on arabian nuclear operations now these sanctions are no longer waivers so 60 days for companies from russia from china and indeed some european companies to cease their activities there otherwise face some kind of action by the us for breaking these particular sanctions now why it is particularly linked to the obama deal is that the 2nd nuclear plant in iran the bushehr plant waivers on that plant have been extended now why this is is because the agreement concerning the bushehr nuclear problems was struck before the a bomb a nuclear deal the joint comprehensive plan of action so very clearly here the trumpet ministration focusing on ripping up the last vestige of any mechanism left in place by the obama administration. and my just going back to our top story and that is of course the i guess worsening relations between the u.s. and china over hong kong where the strong words from the u.s.

secretary of state. so saying the u.s. stands with the people of hong kong is they struggle against the chinese communists their party where do you think that leaves china u.s. relations which of course have been strained are for a variety of issues most recently coronavirus well this belongs been wrangling in the trumpet ministration with regard to its policy towards china might pompei or even before he was secretary of state was very much a china hawk urging stronger action against china now in recent months the trump administration continued to maintain that its trade links with china were crucial that the trade deals that it was formulating were very important to both countries economy might bumppo throughout that period was insisting on stronger sanctions now the situation with hong kong is quite simply the secretary of state has to certify at least once a year that hong kong is autonomous from china now without that certification to

congress then hong kong is regarded literally as part of china now that is exactly what my compo has done the ramifications of that is that the preferential trade agreement that has been in place between the us and hong kong for generations or now go away such things as preferential trade tariffs things like that are going to have a massive impact on the hong kong economy and most importantly it would appear is a trumpet ministrations signaling very strongly that it is upping the ante against china president trump has now done a complete reversal from what he was talking about just a few months ago about forging a stronger relationship with china in particular with its president this move now announced by the secretary of state very clearly that the trumpet ministration is retching up some form of action against china and the president has said that he will be making further announcements in the next few days. mike hanna with the

latest on those developments from washington d.c. thank you well meanwhile 360 protesters were arrested in home kong as thousands rallied against the reading of a contentious bill criminalizing abuse of china's national anthem the baileys part of beijing's national security legislation imposed on the semi autonomous territory that mystery tour is a say the laws are aimed at bringing the city further of the chinese control adrian brown reports now from hong kong. lunchtime in hong kong central business district . police firing pedophile it's to disperse protesters. bringing traffic in one of the world's busiest star affairs to a standstill. police say this was an illegal assembly this crowd shouted pro-democracy slogans and insults at the emotional up not everyone is against them though. i'm from china and i support the police screams this woman who's from the

mainland the protest is intended target was hong kong's legislative assembly but a heavy security presence prevented their attempts to reach the building inside legislators were debating a bill that would punish those who disrespect the national anthem. this is what supporters of the bill want to stop the booing that drowned out the march of the volunteers before a recent football match those convicted under the planned law would face a fine of more than 6 and a half $1000.00 and up to 3 years in jail there were many arrests on wednesday with at least one as young as 14 years old detentions that could now risk university and career prospects opponents of this national anthem will call it another float on the funds freedom and he comes ahead of a move by china's parliament to impose a new national security law on this city. china's rubber stamp parliament the

national people's congress is expected to approve legislation on thursday when more details of the proposed security law will be known in the meantime hong kong government officials are trying to ease fears. it will be conducive to the long term stability and prosperity of hong kong and also helpful to safeguarding the legitimate rights of hong kong people. many home come. and they know the risk for daring to demonstrate their opposition adrian brown al-jazeera me. taiwan's president has pledged humanitarian relief for those involved in pro-democracy protests in hong kong citing when the said taiwan would continue to support the city as it strives for democracy and freedom she said a government task force would coordinate the budget and resources for those fleeing to taiwan including accommodation and employment taiwanese law promises to help

hong kong there is a risk of political persecution the number of a rise of arrivals has risen in the past year. meanwhile china has urged canada to immediately release ways chief financial officer mang one zhu this after a canadian court ruled that her u.s. extradition case can proceed the judge said the met the standard for double criminality meaning the u.s. charges are also crimes in canada this is a huge blow to the tech giant way which had hoped to drop the case and bring mang back to china she was arrested in vancouver in 2018 at washington's request the u.s. wants to extradite her on charges of bank fraud and misleading a major bank or why are ways dealings with iran. while ray is all is a program associate at the wilson center institute which looks at us china

relations he joins us by as she joins us via skype from washington d.c. thank you so much for joining us here on out jazeera so 1st of all what is your reaction to this court ruling that the u.s. extradition case can go ahead. thanks for having me on so this ruling has been something that i think canada has through diplomatic channels communicated to china to expect. the ruling is as indicated a setback for her lawyers and within china this is definitely a much more than just a case of a one business executive acting in appropriately to subvert sanctions this is seen as a piece of a larger scale. u.s. china competition on the technology is that while

a is producing and selling and the political ramifications of those products then so you think you seem to be saying that this is the symbolism behind this matter in china i guess almost as much as what the legal aspects of it will be. correct and in the united states this is also been something that leadership has loot into broader policy and policy interests in china i believe president trump has brought on one show as a possible. collateral in some of his negotiations with china so i think at this point. this is only emboldened you know china's perception that this isn't just a sort of. conventional white collar prosecution case here because

the timing i mean some coincidental but we have the case in canada we have the protests in home call my compares very strong reaction to it and this off the back of course of tensions over the coronavirus and some pretty incendiary language we've heard from president trump towards the china how would you describe the u.s. china relations right now. just to sort of circle back on the when joe case this is this is going to be a very very long term. extradition case these types of cases are typically very lengthy and we're still continuing with hearings in canada having said that the sort of the sort of build up of tensions between the china and the united states from diplomatic relations pertain to the coronavirus to escalating tensions in hong kong that

this is all happening at the same time could really put even more stress on an already strained diplomatic relationship between china and the u.s. ray is all the program associate at the wilson center there institute which looks specifically a u.s. try to relations madam thank you for sharing your views with us. the mayor of minneapolis has called for charges to be filed against a white police officer who knelt on the neck of a black man who later died police in the u.s. city have fired tear gas at protesters who are rallying against the death of george floyd 4 policemen have already been fired as john hendren now reports. the. minneapolis police marched on demonstrators firing rubber bullets and chemical gas leaving them in govt in searing flames the protesters gathered by the hundreds despite a state wide coronavirus lockdown to mark the death of another unarmed black man in

police custody at the brig. believed to be about george floyd accused of forgery cries out in pain a policeman's knee on his neck. even . bystanders plead with the officers. floyd later dies in police custody on it would really help them in these maybe you'll get maybe both police say he had been resisting arrest but in this newly released surveillance video taken before floyd was forced to the ground he's shown handcuffed and apparently cooperative this was not a nice thing it is part of an ingrained systemic cycle of the justice to so existence which cuts at the very heart more secret police that all americans are equal rights. the 4 officers on the scene were fired on tuesday but floyd's family

says that's not enough out of the like for those. with murder because this is exactly what they think marty. minneapolis' mayor joined in the demand for criminal charges and offense took place that you or i or many other people through our city would have been behind bars if they did yet this particular individual this officer was it could be months before it's clear whether charges will be filed the f.b.i. is investigating the incident as a possible civil rights violation murder convictions of on duty police officers are very rare but they do happen. demonstrators note a contrast when armed white protesters occupy michigan state house to oppose the coronavirus lockdown police offer little resistance. in minneapolis this largely

black crowd is met with gas canisters and rubber bullets but some valid to remain in the streets to insist that no other unarmed african-american in the u.s. is killed by police john hendren al jazeera chicago. you're watching al-jazeera live from london coming up this hour president trump threatens to shut down social media platforms after twitter labels 2 of his tweets unsubstantiated california ramps up its coronavirus testing but are the u.s. states lag behind with experts calling their efforts disorganized. the in. a new survey has found that 60 percent of brazilians support stricter social distancing measures to help curb the spread of the coronavirus and that's in stark contrast to their president who has consistently attacked state and city lockdown measures jade

will sort out who has called the shelter in place policies a poison which could kill more through unemployment and hunger than the outbreak itself was ill is the worst effect that country in latin america with more than 24500 deaths and 391000 confirmed infections. well a temporary coronavirus hospital is opened in the brazilian city of one else to help treat the country's indigenous population the hospital is the 1st of its kind in brazil mixing standard medicine with traditional customs from the region strives to spite their isolation the virus has been slowly spreading through indigenous communities which are ill prepared for the pandemic the city's mayor has accused also that oh of impeding efforts to stop the spread of the virus. i'm not going to stop saying the president did not interfere of course he did it he speeches all the time saying it was just a fluke and at the same time sending people out onto the street he boycotted all

the efforts to get to a stage of good social isolation. on tuesday brazil surpassed the united states and the number of daily coronavirus fatalities on oil of apple and joins us live now from mexico city and mentally the pressure just keeps on growing on brazil's president i mean could we get to a point where he's actually toppled because of his reaction to the coronavirus outbreak. the president is facing more pressure every single day he's at the center of this political controversy in brazil he continues to downplay the severity of the outbreak in his country and he's continuing to make more enemies every day with state governors on tuesday evening we heard about the police raids against 2 of the residents of the governor of the state of rio de janeiro we're hearing more raids took place earlier on wednesday against against

some of the president's critics so this is some of the response that we're seeing in terms of of the backlash against the do in doing support base within a bull sonars government the governor. has now cycled through 2 different health ministers one of them resigned the other one quit again the president is still sort of downplaying the severity of this crisis and there is a scenario to answer your question about the chances of of the president being toppled by the virus as you say barbara there's a snare that could play out we're bull so narrow is ousted from office before he's able to finish his term in office if these allegations that he is a threat to public safety turn into charges we could potentially see impeachment proceedings against bolton out of barbara and in manama would really do see the coronavirus now engulfing glass in america the way perhaps that europe and then the states you know we see that could the confection rains peaking in many countries including mexico which is just announced the most the daily deaths from the virus

since the start of the outbreak so how are things going there. well corona virus in latin america latin america was the last region of the world to become infected by the now global pandemic and as you mentioned the rate in mexico is now at a record $501.00 deaths were recorded in a period of 24 hours it's a new record for mexico but just like in brazil what we're seeing from the nation's leaders is that despite the virus having yet to reach peak contagion in mexico we are hearing the presidents of both brazil the president of mexico calling for reopening of the of the economy they're confident here in mexico that the strategy is working but even though as you as we just mentioned these new record daily daily fatalities the government is talking about reopening the economy and we are expected on friday to hear the mexican president's plan for reopening schools

barbara my lead rapidly with the latest there from mexico city manager thank you but meanwhile the number of coronavirus that's across the u.s. is edging closer 210-0000 according to johns hopkins university in 99983 people are now confirmed to have died from covert 19 and almost 1000000 700000 infections have been reported this fight that states continue to reopen their economies new york city which became the focus of the outbreak is now the only of region in new york state that's still closed the outbreak has plunged the u.s. economy into crisis with more than 38000000 americans filing for unemployment over the past 2 months. but testing is ramping up in some areas of the united states after a slow start but many states efforts are still lacking behind at least 9 of them have conducted only $250.00 tests per 1000000 people los angeles county is one of

the few places offering free tests to anyone who wants one rob reynolds has more. people are getting tested for the corona virus at this drive up site in los angeles one of dozens in this the nation's most populous county the county is is aggressively following up on all positive results with the individuals to trace back their contacts within the previous 2 weeks of their positive test testing and tracing are essential but so are social distancing and good hygiene not everybody has to get tested alltel 10000000 people in the county have to get tested which more important than testing frankly is staying at home staying safe at home covering your your mouth of the in your face with official covering in early march president donald trump declared anybody right now. yes you know anybody that needs

it just gets you to sleep there there that statement was as false then as it is now nearly 3 months later in a new study a team of nationally recognized infectious disease experts said testing in the united states is disorganized and not accurate enough to provide a good basis for public health decision making the team from the university of minnesota called upon the federal government to provide leadership guidance and support for local jurisdictions some physicians who study global responses to cold have done $900.00 say an over emphasis on testing can be counterproductive many tests are not highly reliable and could be misleading you know that a 3 percent of the time as an infection gets tested they're not actually going to try now dr michael hochman says there is one country that appears to have tamed corona virus but has tested just 0.2 percent of its population in the country that

strikes me is most. the center really good job history which is how to. read that we have of the united states of action on a virus yes many reasons have been cited for japan's low numbers including low levels of obesity one of the world's best public health systems a public that widely accepted a decision to close schools early and a culture of mask wearing. held by the data has come out during this period and they've had another century based coverage really make a big difference the trumpet ministration recently promised to provide $100000000.00 test swabs by the end of this year but the white house says testing will remain the responsibility of each of the 50 us states rob reynolds al-jazeera los angeles. the 1st space flight of nasa astronauts from u.s.

soil in nearly a decade has been postponed because of bad weather the countdown was halted less than 17 minutes before the space x. falcon 9 rocket was due to liftoff from the kennedy space center in florida the next attempt will be made on saturday the launch will be the 1st time that a private company has sent astronauts into orbit. let me see that jay gray is live at the kennedy space center in cape canaveral florida for us a i guess they must be a lot of disappointed people there right now. bar room we were that close to seeing this happen as you talk about just under 17 minutes away from launch now maybe we should have known this wasn't going to go this morning when as they strapped in the astronauts there was a tornado warning issued for kennedy space center and the surrounding areas but things really did start to clear up following that they just didn't clear up during

the countdown here in fact if you look at the countdown clock you can see it stopped right at 16 minutes and 54 seconds and as you push across the bay here the end you can see historic launch pad 39 a and the falcon 9 rocket as well as the dragon crew capsule still there are not supporting him and they're taking the fuel out of the rocket and they'll wait a couple days and try this again look it's the 1st time as you talked about that will never see private space corporation. men into space and so it was good to get or a run through frankly not only for the astronauts who were on board the crew dragon but also for the team the launch team they got to go through all the scenarios in real time and the good news here according to both nasa and sex is barbara that everything seemed to go just perfectly that everything except the weather was

a full go and looked like it was ready for launch so i guess now they get to try again on saturday and fingers crossed for the weather there but just remind this we mentioned the private the theater the fact that space x. a private company and also the fact that this is the 1st time in 9 years that american astronauts are sent to space once again just tell us a little bit about the impact that this is having in the u.s. especially during a time of coronavirus which has had its share of sad and worrying. you know it's interesting because the director here at nasa said that this is an opportunity in a moment to really bring the country together and it comes i believe at a time when well i know we've all been told to stay apart so it's something that is needed and something a lot of people were looking forward to hear and we'll look forward to on saturday obviously this is a new page a new chapter in u.s. space exploration bringing

a private company in to that footprint of space is something that has never been done before and frankly when you talk to both sides of this space x. so boeing is involved as well and mass it seems to be working almost seamlessly here of course nasa has complete control over go no go and other primary issues but it's a mission team that's run by space x. and because of the growth of virus those team members only half were actually in their seats in mission control the other have working from all here and again it seemed like everything went just the way it should when you talk physically about what it was like here because a covert 19 the general viewing area here at kennedy space center open to the public closed down no one allowed to come in there in fact what a lot of the administrators here in the staff your said publicly and really pushed in the weeks ahead of this launch was stay away watch this obviously we'd love for

you to be here and see the launch in person but if you can't watch it at home watch it on the internet watching on t.v. . several of the key viewing spots are around kennedy space center will close down as well but driving in this morning you still saw people lining the beaches and roadways coming in to k.s.c. and a lot of people just could not stay away so it does mean a lot to a lot of people across the country unfortunately it didn't go today but again we try this weekend of saturday doesn't work and right now the early forecast is 60 percent go which is good news there's also a window on sunday. gray with the latest there from the kennedy space center in cape canaveral florida jay as always thank you. plenty more still to come on the al-jazeera news hour including a minute's silence as spain begins 10 days of mourning for those lost to the coronavirus plus. midnight burials and media banned from hospitals

u.s. president donald trump is threatened to shut down social media companies after twitter for the 1st time labeled 2 of this tweets misleading trump says twitter is stifling free speech by attaching a warning and prompting readers the fact check the president's claims alexy o'brien reports was arguably twice as most famous using the us president donald trump has even said to us one him the white house thank you very much everybody now he's at the center of a twist a storm after the social media company flagged 2 of his tweets as misleading for the 1st time trumpeted tweeted to his 80000000 followers that mail in ballots would lead to fraud twista said his claims were false and had been debunked by fact check is 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 trump has hit back accusing twitter in a tweet of stifling free speech and interfering in the november election about well twice has now taken its 1st stamp against the president now as an early it refused to act another series of trump's tweets where he suggested former republican congressman and u.s. t.v. anchor joe scarborough may have been involved in the death of an intern 19 years ago it's a very suspicious thing and i hope somebody gets to the bottom of it trump's tweeted for years about the unfounded allegations even though laurie close suzy's death was blamed on a hot issue last week

a widower. an open letter to twitter pleading with it to delete the posts saying i'm asking you to intervene in this instance because the president of the united states has taken something that does not belong to him the memory of my did wife and perverted it for perceived political gain what the course souness's the entire family have had to endure or for 19 years. it's unspeakably cruel for what whether it's the president or whether it's people following the president it is our speaker bully crew or social media companies like twitter facebook and you tube have come under increasing pressure to act faster and more effectively against misinformation and hate speech on their platforms twitter says the president's posts about the t.v. host don't violate its terms of service though it's working to address issues like this going forward thank you very much everybody thank you alexia brian al jazeera
