is helping the pakistani community to find a voice the stories we don't often hand towed by the people who live them undocumented and under attack this is iraq on al-jazeera. 'd this is al-jazeera. hello i'm rob matheson and this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes thousands in hong kong defying a ban to hold a candlelight vigil marking 31 years since the chinaman square crackdown. the charges are brought against all the police officers involved in george floyd's death with more protests calling for justice across the u.s. . defense secretary james mattis accuses donald trump of trying to divide america

and denounces what he calls a militarized response to the protests. libya's u.n. recognized government says it's taken complete control of the capital after months of fighting against the wall. and joining us roscoe with the sports including top n.f.l. quarterback drew brees apologizes to teammates told him he was part of the problem for his views on anti racism protests in the u.s. . this is gone past 13 g.m.t. that's 9 pm in hong kong on the 31st anniversary of the chinaman square massacre hong kong is the only place in china with a public memorial to the victims these are live pictures a candlelight vigil has been held in. city's victoria park every year since 1990

bucks with abandon mask on the rings in place this year protesters had to break through barriers to hold the rally earlier hong kong's legislature has criminalized insulting china's national anthem it's seen as another sign of beijing's growing control over hong kong sarah clarke is live for us now in hong kong sara give us some indication if you would what people are saying about why they have decided to defy this by. well as you can see behind me we've had thousands gather in victoria park this was an area that was sealed off by the police earlier today for police bad the government enforced social distancing rules and ban for the 1st time in 31 years this can't be jule the people in hong kong to mark the massacre of tiananmen square 31 years ago but as you can see behind me the people have gathered anyway and with the chanting of slogans of free hong kong liberate hong kong one country one nation we've also got

a number of flags calling for independence in hong kong and of course the organizers here encourage people to come and share their opinions about the democracy i think is there to try to box the organizations i hear and gather every year last year we saw about 190000 people gather in victoria park this year which still seem thousands despite that police ban now the organizers however are concerned about the future of rallies like this and that's as a result of the national security laws a child is going to introduce those laws and potentially target political distance of dissidents i should say all those people who speak out against the milan and they worried about the future of big assemblies and gatherings like this and that includes the tenements where can't let rituals which is being held for the last 30 years here in hong kong so there is there any indication that the security forces or even medical teams because of coronavirus might be stepping in to try to disperse the crowd. but not as yet we've had 3000 place to put across the city in hong kong on thursday now they're scattered around this particular area. peter not much not mine when these people gathered in video

victoria park when the organizers said that that would keep the calm it's been a very peaceful rally we've had a chance to get a match with one minute's silence with regard to social distancing we're certainly seeing more than i people here as a result of these people of thousands of people gathering at remember those people who lost their lives fighting for democracy in 1999 in chatham and squares so close ally for us in hong kong victoria park let's talk to anthony doppler on he's a lawyer and an author of books including city on fire the fight for hong kong he's joining us from there not to thank you very much indeed for being with us so hong kong's got the national anthem bill that we mentioned just a moment ago it's got the security bill that is due to come in and yet we're seeing thousands of people defying this ban on the vigil for 10 months square what do you think the future is for hong kong. look i think tonight has been a very powerful symbol i mean with the national anthem lorin the national security law as you were saying a lot of people were speculating was the spirits of the cotton kong people broken

with they perhaps no longer have the have the spirit to come out and protest well tonight has been a remarkable symbol of the hong kong people are still very passionate about democracy in their city and all of us fighting spirit and i think we're going to see them to continue coming out to protest in in in support of their beliefs do you think that the nature of those protests is going to change particularly as we head towards the point when the security bill gets introduced. yes but we certainly did see some very violent scenes in the course of protests last year so far in the course of this year of course protests have been quiet because of the coronavirus but also because the police have taken a much more aggressive early intervention approach to policing protests stopping crowds before they can reach a critical mass that could reach to the levels of violence we saw last year so it remains to be seen i think whether we get crowds crowds large enough and angry and also to lead to the sort of violence that we saw last year or it or

a combination of very aggressive policing of reps a change in tone may may keep things peaceful but i think we're definitely going to be in for some instability in the coming weeks and months and it's all talking instability way so did say in some scenes in the legislative council and on when they were negotiating or talking about the andersonville when they were disrupted by pro-democracy protesters and pro-democracy members of the council i should say do you think that people in hong kong are beginning to get tired of seeing this constant repetitive interruption that happens to the process of the legislative council and is that changing the opinion of some people at least in hong kong towards the protests. yeah the head democrat parties inside hong kong legislature i read a difficult position because they're a permanent minority though the way the system is structured is that the probate jihadi is always have a majority of that chamber as a result i think it means that the pan democrats feel that acts of protest

including acts of protest inside the legislature chamber the only means lift to them to actually have a have any impact on the process now of course that also has the impact of all of bringing the whole process to a sense on occasions and does generate some frustrations in the community but then on the other side we have beijing being very interventionist and imposing this national security lauren on call which i think is going to just as much spur spirits in the opposite directions now we have elections coming up here in september very important elections for that legislative council and we'll see which way the community sympathies finally land when we get to those elections in september the protests began of course of course because initially there was opposition to about an extradition bill which was subsequently withdrawn but now the protests seem to be. more generalized in the sense they have a general antipathy towards the potential rule of the rule of beijing a lot of young people have put their futures their careers their university careers on the line for this do you think that people are going to be as willing to risk

their futures to carry on these protests. well we're now starting to see the trials and convictions of many of the people who were arrested during last year's protests starting to come through the court system now a few of the 1st convictions just in the last couple of weeks to protest the sentence to several years prison for riots and i think when the reality of that starts to settle in i'm sure that will give many young protesters some polls especially when combined with a very aggressive police presence on the street and if it reaches a point when there's an almost certainty that you're going to be arrested if you turn out i'm sure that will give many protesters so i think that certainly the the tone may be changing to a certain extent and the government government's approach in that sense may be working when you go to get your thoughts on this antony's after i'm going pressure time and al-jazeera thank you thank you. well in a few hours from now the 1st in

a series of memorial gatherings for george floyd will get underway in the u.s. city of minneapolis it's due to be attended by friends and civil rights leaders and all those who shared in the outrage over his death in police custody all 4 officers on the scene when he died in custody now face charges a key demand of protest has across the united states john 100 reports from minneapolis. for the crowds filling the street here and across the u.s. a sign their demands are being heard i found an amended complaint that charges the charges former minneapolis police officer derrick shaaban with murder in the 2nd degree for the death of george floyd for officer derek show been who was seen with his knee on george floyd's neck the charge was increased from 3rd degree murder to 2nd degree alleging floyd's death was intentional is seen they are likely to make a different they are listening to us they see what we asking for any any good what

we ask for the rest goes be officers and they were minnesota's attorney general announced charges for the involvement of the other 3 officers in floyd's fatal arrest of filed a complaint that charges police officer king lane in town with aiding and abetting murder in the 2nd degree for floyd's family it was the justice they've been demanding. i'm happy did all of this not being arrested. my boss had not been killed like this we deserve justice. but for many it is just a beginning. george floyd's family and the protesters have achieved their short term objectives but their long term goals are systematic change they're here today for george floyd so they don't have to be here tomorrow for someone else as one city after another across the u.s. rebuilds from fire and rebellion in the streets of floyd fame. the lawyer says

changing a system that allows the killing of one unarmed african-american after another will take time the protesters did not start these bars to bernie it was police brutality and all races from one to jeff this is the best start of these 5 grown in america and the only way to stay with these 5 years is to help them nice accountability equal justice but now minnesota's governor has begun by charging minneapolis police with human rights violations triggering an investigation into races practices that goes back 10 years the messages now and here in minnesota for the last 5 days come back to the issue at hand which is the systemic issues and the stomach racism and the lack of accountability up and down our society that led to a daytime murder of a black man on a street minneapolis at the george floyd memorial site many say the charges against

4 police officers won't bring protests to an end they just show why the demonstrations need to continue john hendren al jazeera minneapolis. well those new charges follow more than a week of mass protests in the u.s. at times some of the demonstrations of turned violent with buildings and cars set on fire and shops looted president donald trump had threatened to send in the national military but now says he doesn't think he'll have to. the former u.s. defense secretary jim baucus has criticized trump's handling of the crisis is accuse the president of dividing the american people saying the consequences of the result of 3 years without mature leadership well let's go straight to white house correspondent kimberly hawk it can be i understand it was peaceful last night but officials are preparing for bigger protests this weekend how is the white house approaching this. yeah you're absolutely right that saturday is now on the white house radar we know that there is

a sizable protest planned for the nation's capital to really overwhelmed washington d.c. and that is exactly what this white house is trying to do as well as there are large protests planned that will engulf the capital authorities are also ramping up their response we know that the f.b.i. has a command center that is set up some blocks from here we also know the attorney general william barr is looking to essentially have a stunning show of force in the nation's capital so what will that look like we know it includes soldiers we know it includes police from the various agencies as well as the metropolitan police department from washington d.c. we also can tell you the white house has been fortified in ways i've never seen before there is now a chain link fence all around the perimeter so that means that the tourists that are used to coming in getting their photos taken from the white house no longer can do that they now can only see it from a far and buildings have also been boarded up in washington d.c.

and not just the ones that have had their windows smashed also it appears that they are preparing in anticipation of the crowds that could cut essentially what this is it is starting to look like the flooding of the zone on both sides as this u.s. president continues to tweet law and order i mean kimberly of course we come forget the ongoing pro process of the spread of coronavirus and as a result of that we've got new unemployment numbers out of what's happening there. yes so the numbers are now not good they haven't been good for a while but this white house says well they're a little better than they were last week and that's reason for optimism most apparently what we've got here is almost $2000000.00 americans again filing jobless claims now that is the lowest number per week since coronavirus started but when you look at this all together you've got more than $40000000.00 americans out of work filing for unemployment benefits now the u.s.

president continues to project optimism in fact he tweeted on wednesday that the stock market's in good shape and hang on because things are going to get better in september october and november we're in the early stages of coming back he says but i can tell you most people don't feel like things are coming back right now that is not the atmosphere in washington d.c. and we're also bracing for the fact that there are going to be more jobless numbers coming on friday the unemployment numbers expected to be close to 20 percent one in 5 americans those are depression level numbers we've not seen since the 1930 s. and in projections the congressional budget office says look at when things improve hold on because it could take a decade or 2030 before this economy fully recovers its complete hold at the water's committee thanks very much. 3 men charged with the murder of a black man in the u.s. state of georgia are due to appear in court on model but he was chased and shot 3 times by retired white police officer and his son in february they were only

charged in may after a video of the shooting in brunswick led to nationwide protests a 3rd man who captured the killing on camera was later charged with felony murder but i'm gallacher is live for us now in miami with the latest andy there were protests around the country because of this case what do we expect to happen today . well the governor of georgia brian campus called this a book carious moment for the state he said that he will weed out any bad actors that turn up to protest the case today this is of course these 3 men appearing before court for the authorities decide whether there's enough evidence for them to go to trial but this doesn't sit well this case reflects much of what happened with mr floyd remember that model barry was killed in february late february and that the case these men weren't arrested to 74 days because the video didn't come out until may and in that 74 days various district attorneys and legal offices passed

the case on from one to the other telling the family that he was killed because he was suspected of being a burglar of course when that video came out everything changed now we are expecting protesters outside the courthouse in brunswick today of course the national guard has been deployed in the state of georgia brian kemp the governor saying he will take action if necessary but he's sensitive to the protesters demands and will meet with them if that is the case this is gregory and travis mcmichael father and son one of them and eggs police officer who both on themselves and basically chase mr moderate down and shot and killed at midnight outraged not just people in georgia the people across the entire nation is that case i think that is in the back of people's minds as they demand justice for mr floyd's death as well so this case will be watched exist dream that closely all 3 men have been in jail since they were arrested by the f.b.i. in may but now the courts will decide whether they should go to trial i need thanks

very much indeed that sounded like a life for us in miami. but more ahead on the news hour including over the lockdown protests over senegal the state of emergency turned violent plus. we'll tell you why the u.s. and china's test for tat conflict has not taken to the skies. and the league leaders in portugal struggle in their 1st day back after the coronavirus of the whole suspension joe's going to have all the action in the sport. maybe as you on record highs government says it has full control of the capital tripoli after fighting with forces loyal to war. jenny forces have also retaken control of an abandoned airport in southern tripoli huffed are launched an offensive to take control of the capital just over a year ago fighting continues but government officials say has also lost

significant ground in areas close to his stronghold of top. old comes as libyan prime minister fires all sort out is in in to meet turkish president of egypt up to one and we're going to get more on the talks in turkey shortly with sin and cos you all know 1st let's go to mahmoud of the warhead at the o.-port in southern tripoli . what makes the g.n.a.t. so confident that they have been able to take the entire city of tripoli. well. let me just you know that we have moved a bit further east of the airport to. this is it used to be destroying the hold of house that its forces. and from here they used to run the battle inside they have just recaptured this suburb and. they have been they have been celebrating their victory. defeat of have those forces

here in this and now the government forces say that this. turkish military advance of weapons or the military support has played a major tool in achieving get this victory in favor of the government of national accord and also there was the rule of the russian medicine raise from the back know that they were fighting alongside of his forces against the government there was the will of the russian mercenaries has also impacted the house that his forces notably over the past few weeks the government military sources tell us that they have advanced and they have actually achieved major advancements in many areas in southern typically they can now claim that they have any captured in the whole. area in southern tripoli and the are now preparing a fresh offensive to move on the city of daraa who now about 70 kilometers in the

southern east of the capital tripoli thought hohner is the major stronghold of half that his forces in the west of libya of the government forces managed to capture who then have to his forces in this way lose the last of stronghold in the west of libya with the possible exception of a small town about 120 kilometers south of tripoli in the west of the moment called the town of. divvied. have been suffering setbacks recently in the west of libya especially. 2 weeks ago and then also in the west the mountain and before that in mid april several towns and cities along the western coast as you know that the government of national called has been sitting good jamming unit system units in the vicinity of the old inactive international airport to prevent have to work planes and drones

from targeting get their hands and meanwhile the advancement of the air force. the government force is also a chip muted to the turkish draws that have been playing a major and vital to rule and changing them into i'm in favor of the government of national accord the government forces now i say that they are in full control of this area it's called gusev been a shade and yeah that's in the bit in the vicinity of the old inactive international airport by seizing the old inactive international airport the government troops say that they can now secure the whole area they can prevent half that his forces from targeting many areas inside tripoli from that area but as you know that rob that have those forces they use the old airport to launch air strikes and also to launch rockets to target areas inside their capital tripoli the seizure of the airport for the government is not only a ministry gain but also

a political gain rob lockwood thank you very much indeed that's mahmoud on the workload reporting to us from southern shipley i want to talk to simcoe. who's in istanbul to get the reaction out of turkey because this of course is coming at a time when the libyan prime minister is meeting president up to one of turkey what are they going to be focusing on when they're having their talks. the 2 leaders are going to be are actually talking right now the meeting has already started and the main focus of the meeting is a political solution political solution in libya because we know that russia and the u.s. are urging for a cease fire in libya but yesterday as the turkish foreign minister put through during a live interview turkey doesn't want to lose time for any more talks about the ceasefire because cease fires in countries like libya and syria have proven to be

fragile to that's why. the turkish foreign minister focus that all parties who support the ceasefire in the area should actually be now supporting a political solution and they will of course for turkey it's not only in libya is not only we have because turkey has signed a maritime zone deal with libya which which to which protects turkey is rights and interests in the eastern mediterranean oil it comes up energy resources that's why they're backing the internationally recognized government and they've got turkey wants an immediate political resubmission to be a stablished inside the country so that all those rights that turkey has gained through those 3 months can stay in act also i have from the anchor of perspective in the things are a little bit different forces yes of the deputy prime minister of the general

national of libya's c.n.a. was in moscow and he came to turkey as well of course what he has discussed with the russian officers yesterday in moscow are also being discussed between prime minister said russian president don today but we know that turkey doesn't want g.n.a.t. loose any ground turkey wants jenae to ben's and we know that from the ankara person. directive of an anchor a believes that russia russia will continue to support the opposite camp for turkey but given the situation when i spoke to one turkish officer from last night he told me that they are sensing that it is the getting difficult for most call to control all or to have a 5 star as well as he began to act life general cut above as well and he told me that maybe most call might consider replacing the holy father huffed are

in the in the in the medium term of course this is this is a projection that he mentioned that will take time but most cool and. want to continue their cooperation in libya despite supporting the opposite camps because both sides have interests but on kyra say is that i'm kind of believes that most call wants a divided libya but chirk e on the opposite supports territorial integrity in the area that's why an immediate political solution in libya is necessary from ankara as perspective center closer or giving us the opportunity to from istanbul thanks very much indeed . and it's time for the weather here's rob and we're 4 days into the hurricane season we've had 3 tropical storms already ones about to reinvigorate now this is the part of the world i'm interested in a very thin bit of mexico here has allowed in the past all to go from the pacific

to the gulf war has just done that as you see it is a massive cloud his hard to find very much so or give us a brief history lesson amanda formed in the eastern pacific and went up just past all through guatemala to sit on the gulf coast and then sort of dissolves now it's arguable whether a monday continued or christabel formed anyway without calling this one crystal ball and it's made landfall over mexico probably over tabasco and he's sitting there barely now a revolving storm it's a mass of thunderstorms now that system when it went over that all produced an awful lot of rain clearly a lot of flooding damage more in the case of rain than wind damage in this case which is not surprising in the seasons but a category one equivalent now on the mexican side on the gulf coast we've had it may be making landfall heavy rain of course some flooding more as western camp ichi all of tabasco the the 2 areas involved in this and flooding is going to be the

theme as we go forward as you can see has always been already been waist deep in the immediate future just watch this general area and we'll follow it the next few days rob thanks very much indeed. but still ahead on al-jazeera how an economic blockade spurred qatar to rely less on imports and produce its own food products. i would rather keep my money so why i'm here because you. will hear from one of the tennis rising stars who joined the protest movement in the u.s. that's coming up but joe in sports. join our global community think of the crisis is just slap does in the face of the blessing upon latin upon human health equals global health keeping you up to date with oneself or situation where we have

a human rights prices that persist beyond the health crisis answering your questions is a dialogue just nothing we are now approaching a crossroads this is an opportunity that we must mark this the stream on al-jazeera frank assessments tourism income stream is dead in the water what's been the result . of the informed opinions there has been a very aggressive political rhetoric that has become very normal in israeli society in-depth analysis of the dates global headlines it's time for new policy to save the country they cannot all be seen to grady great to meet their stability we all continue inside story on al-jazeera.

you're watching out to see a reminder of our top stories this hour thousands of people have joined a vigil in hong kong to mark the anniversary of the 1989 tenement square massacre that's despite a ban on mass gatherings in the city protesters had to break through barriers to hold the rally. libya's u.n. recognized government says it has full control of the capital tripoli after fighting with forces loyal to war logically for huffed on the g.n.a.t. says it's also retaken an abandoned airport in selling tripoli. the police officer who knelt on the neck of george floyd in minneapolis is facing a more serious charge of 2nd degree murder 3 other officers on the scene have now been charged with aiding and abetting murder. jay gray has sent us this report from

minneapolis where protesters will later pause for a memorial in on george floyd. something that these protests for the last 10 days have been centered on getting the 3 other officers charged in upping the charges of derrick chauvin the officer whose knee was on the neck of george floyd as he died so the response has been positive people say that they feel like their voices are being heard but they're also quick to point out that the protest won't stop the justice hasn't been served until not only are these officers convicted but there are broad and sweeping changes across the nation in the way policing is carried out so they say that it will all continue but it will pause at least briefly today for a memorial service the 1st of several for floyd it will take place here on the campus of north central university there is a worship center just behind us that's where floyds families friends his loved ones will gather across the street there is a park and in that park giant video screens thousands expected to gather there to

pay their respects as well all of this coming just hours after the new charges against the $3.00 officers and the charges against chauvin now look to be another memorial that will come this weekend in north carolina that's where floyd was born and then a public viewing and that's in houston early next week. police in senegal have arrested more than 70 people love to protest against coronavirus restrictions turned violent demonstrators torched police vehicles on a health center near the capital dhaka calling for an end to the state of emergency and a nighttime curfew nicholas hack is live for us in the capital dhaka so i understand that the interior ministry has announced a relaxation of the restrictions do we know what the new measures are and is going to be enough for the protesters. some of the measures that were just announced by the interior minister is allowing people to

travel from one region to another up and since the march people have been restricted on lockdown we generally that's a problem because we're at the height of the dry season we're months away before the rainy season and many people in neighborhoods like this in downtown deckard want to go back to the countryside to plant their seeds and to start farming i mean here rob were scenes of running battles late last night with the military deployed on this we just over here and protesters down this street throwing rocks back to the police and the military you can see what's left of the protest of you know burned tires talking to people here about the new measures they say it's too little too late because a curfew is still in place so is the state of emergency which allows rob president to rule and to to to announce laws without any oversight from the parliamentary or the national assembly so we'll have to wait and see until tonight to see how the

population here will react to the new easing of measures remember almost half of the population here lives on less than $5.00 a day they've been stuck at home they haven't been able to come out and to gather also one of the announcement made by the interior minister an easing in restriction of public gatherings up until now up to 4 p. . people were allowed to gather not more than that so restaurants will be allowed to reopen shelves businesses and that's good news for a lot of people here still people here feel that there will be fallout in the effect of the last 2 or 3 months that have been logged down and the economic crisis that looms ahead that's a warning made by the world food program that there may be issues of people going hungry in this country that's not accustomed to that it's just 2 weeks ago president he sells this year related to various places in the region and yet on

sunday we saw protesters take to the streets asking for access to water people in the south of the country running short of water in their police had to fire tear gas so the measures announced by the interior minister is in hopes to quell all that anger and that pent up anger of people who have been stuck indoors for so long waiting to come back out and to go about go about to their daily business to go back to work rob back to you that's nicholas nicholas reporting to us from dukkha thank you very much indeed but his prime minister is urging world leaders to unite against disease as he hosts a global vaccine summit among the coronas ponderous pandemic representatives from over 50 countries will join boris johnson as he hosts the virtual summit from london the leaders aim to raise more than $7000000000.00 let's go to london where charlie angela is live for a $7000000000.00 is a really big target charlie what's been happening. well it is

a big target but vaccines are a very hot topic right now and this is a very pressing issue this is about raising enough money to ensure that routine vaccination programs that have been going on in africa or in southeast asia continue because when they coded outbreak began the w.h.o. advised countries to suspend those immunization programs because trying to socially distance while vaccinating a small child is absolutely impossible to slow the spread of the disease they said that's wrapped up the same immunization programs for now but now they are saying that they are seeing outbreaks of these preventable diseases measles diptheria cholera in countries like nepal cambodia and ethiopia and that has them very worried they want these programs to restart immediately to make sure that those 80000000 babies under the age of one get those vaccinations that they would have otherwise been getting if this outbreak hadn't occurred so yes it is

a pledging marathon so to speak so far we've heard from the emir of qatar who's donated $20000000.00 china also $20000000.00 australia $300000000.00 and they're expected to reach that target because gabby the vaccination alliance says that this money will protect an estimated 300000000 children and prevent 8000000 deaths and as i said vaccinations a very hot topic right now and as well as looking at these routine ones that are also going to be talking about the vaccination for kovan one thing one of the consistent issues when it comes to vaccines is of course the affordability of it is the summit go to try to ensure that vaccines will be able to be afforded by everybody. yes that is one of the pressing concerns so the vaccination alliance gavi. has a sort of collective bargaining power and they're going to be using that to launch an initiative today which scuse me for reading it's

a little bit complicated. they are launching what's called an advanced market commitment which basically means that they are going to agree to buy a large share of large quantities of the eventual vaccine that is approved at fair and established prices which means that they can then be distributed to the poorer countries because there are already concerns of what's being called vaccine cording that the eventual vaccine that is developed will be developed in either the u.s. or china or the u.k. and that those countries will get the large number of doses for us when really what gavi is saying that it must go to who needs it for us health workers the most vulnerable people and they're saying that this should be a global product not just for the countries that produce it and when we're talking about the vaccine let's just look at where we are in that development is that obviously dozens of pharmaceutical companies in the birches around the world in the race to produce it to seem to be pushing ahead they've entered the phase 2 clinical

trials testing on a small number of humans and one is madonna that's a us company it's received a lot of press which is sent to a company market share up to 29000000000 despite never even producing a product it said that it's trial on 8 people has successfully developed bodies in their blood on a par with people who've recovered from current virus to some positive results they're now their vaccine uses r.n.a. genetic code from corona virus but it's also worth mentioning that there's never been a vaccine approved for human use that has used r.n.a. the other one that seems to be getting a lot of press and seems to be further ahead the most is one being developed oxford university is taking a slightly different approach rather than developing full antibodies to stop the patient from developing coronavirus what it's doing is mitigating the worst effects of the virus or protecting the patient against developing pneumonia which is one of

the which. the respiratory diseases seems to go on to kill most people. who are most vulnerable with corona virus so 2 very different approaches the pharmaceutical company astra zeneca has got behind the oxford university one the u.s. government has pumped $500000000.00 into funding the medina study but still many many months away from rolling this out of easily the logistical challenges of manufacturing distribution a long way off charlie thanks very much indeed mexico has recorded its highest number of corona virus deaths in a single day reported 1992 fatalities on weapons to it that's more than double the previous day's figure the country also saw a record surge in new infections. police in honduras have stopped migrants from making their way across the country to the northern border with guatemala trying to get to the united states but they've been stranded
