if you want to help save the world. this is al-jazeera. i don't know this is a new life and coming up in the next 60 minutes the world health organization warns the coronavirus pandemic is accelerating in parts of africa and calls for more testing kits. multiple mass graves found in a libyan city recently retaken by government troops from fighters loyal to the warlord who leave for half to. donald trump rejects demands to rename u.s. military bases despite playbill outrage over on or in controversial historical

figures plus. the conductor who used his time in isolation to achieve what he calls his greatest artistic success. and i'm just a bit of the only sport nascar bans the confederate flag from all its events following the protests over the death of childe floyd. so then the world health organization has warned that cave in $1000.00 infections are accelerating in parts of africa raising concerns about how developing nations will cope with the pandemic w.h.o. says 75 percent of the continent's 200000 confirmed cases had been recorded in 10 countries a quarter of those are in south africa with the western cape region including cape

. the hardest hit the u.n. agency says a lack of testing kits remains a big problem right across africa let's get more now from ahmed addresses in the 90 s. capital. how bad is the situation across the continent of africa. right so it's a really worrying need to talk to any health official on the continent and who will tell you that they are really really concerned about emerging trends in most african countries talking about hot spots and the report mentioned 3 countries in particular south africa geria and cameroon in the next few weeks so months to problem we probably are going to see an exponential rise in the number of cases here in nigeria a country that has been witnessing in the early days maybe a less than a dozen cases then eventually we got into dozens of cases hundreds of cases 2 days ago the niger center for disease control was talking about registering more than

$600.00 cases the biggest jump probably since the fundaments started and this is getting. more and more worrying for many health walkers this is a continent we're talking. we talking about where the health infrastructure is very very minimal and it's not up to us they're not prepared to deal with this pandemic in the crosspiece in fact initially common diseases like malaria it's quite huge burden when you challenge for most countries in africa and now we're talking about covered 19 with cases hundreds of cases being registered every day in any given country so it's a warning thing for many on tension and absolutely yes it's a very difficult for prospect ahead for all these countries in that one of the 10 of course is where you all of that is nigeria what is the situation there. the situation is not getting any better i need 2 days ago like i said the cases

rose to 600 more than 600 cases and yes today the nigeria center for disease control is talking about more than 100 cases and we are talking about a population of 100000000 people while the testing capacity is very very minimal it started with 6 centers in a country of 200000000 people to 6 states and the critical capital territory and then gradually the testing centers increased but we're still talking about minimal presence in most states many states in nigeria don't have testing centers they rely on. sutton state to take samples and of course test these cases and to be to be honest with you helpful teachers here i want it apart from issue of. in adequate personal protective equipment you're also talking about. issues like the lifting restrictions imposed early on to contain the spread of coverage 1000 menu

states are lifting such restrictions as we speak and this is a source of concern for many people and i looked up helpful features of thinking probably unless we should just as there are some of this restrictions are put back in place we probably are going to see more and more cases in the coming weeks and months and make art i would leave it for now that somebody dressed in a budget in nigeria will go to michelle yeah i was the emergency operations manager for the world health organization in africa and he says early estimates of up to 3300000 deaths from cavan 1000 can still be avoided. this is. particularly bizarre on there was having to sustain community transmission we vote in the appropriate measure but i think since the beginning. they want to think would think that we're not this in their african countries is that they move towards a stronger measures that's of course our feds also communities that is now triggering

. is but in india in general we cannot just out what we are observing is real oh well that's what was predicting based on the worst case scenario but we should not be complacent this situation was to really deteriorate we'd of. had facilities being totally overwhelmed so we may not have all the percent of the numbers but we have quite a good proxy that is also showing you what is the situation and how the situation is evolving and i think based on that the process probably think is to continue having strong public health measures including early detection and management of cases what we are strongly advise the countries that we need to put in place measures that can help us to my knowledge of it as well as dealing with.

health conditions we cannot afford to stop savitz is like a vaccination treatment of malaria tb and this is so obvious trash their resources but a country is to try to see how they can while scaling up or restaurants to cause the . continuities of of our services that are critical for africa. to libya now where multiple mass graves have been discovered in the city of the huna and other areas recently retaken from forces loyal to the warlord after libya's government of national accord says that they contain the remains of government soldiers who'd been taken prisoner to whom it was have to last remaining stronghold in the west of the country and last week the g.n.a.t. recaptured the city and this comes as the united nations says the bay sides all fully engaged in the latest round of ceasefire talks the u.n. support mission in libya says separate virtual meetings have been held with have to

representatives and the internationally recognized government take he says the u.s. needs to play a more active role in those talks and says yes that your state might pump a cool developments positive traina has more now from misrata with more on the discovery of mass graves now d.n.a. forces are saying that they've been able to recover hundreds or or over 100 bodies in these mass graves these mass graves are yet another indication of the brutality of the libyan conflict and the on the on the residents in the area now in march the u.n. support mission in libya released a statement saying they received reports of hundreds of in 4th with appearances killings and the displacement of entire families in the city of to whom by the kenyatta again tonight again that's the militia that was under heavy fire in control of the city of through a u.n.

support mission also added that they verified numerous summary executions at the tour who in the prison on september 13th. so now the d.n.a. health officials have told us that they are finding out that civilians are among the dead in these mass graves were also understanding that the d.n.a. ministry of justice have appointed a committee to identify and investigate but that's the circumstances of the death and the minister of interior but the bush has said they will pursue the perpetrators of these crimes. cadman is an international human rights lawyer based in london and he says the evidence from the mass graves point to war crimes. i think the reports 'd that are coming out now are sharing that there are also some military because of it of being executed with hands tied behind their backs and

their reports coming out of civilians now of course still they'll need the investigation to identify the cause of death but it certainly looks in the face that these are execution and thereby construed in a war crime the fact that they've been buried in a mental mass grave would indicate that these are not individuals who died in the course of of warfare. if they are military personnel that the geneva conventions are very clear that the steps that have to be taken when military personnel are what's called order come out they become prisoners of war and the geneva conventions apply and the fact that these individuals have not been found dead and in some circumstances with hands tied behind the acts demonstrates something far more sinister it's not the 1st time we've heard a of situations such as this from from have forces carrying out attacks like this

it's likely to need to go back to the i.c.c. to invest. the bodies of $22.00 west african migrants including 2 babies have been recovered after the bait they were traveling on some tough the case to tune into many of the victims' bodies were found washed up on a beach they were taken to a hospital in the tunisian city as facts will try to say most of the people were from my very case is thought as many as 53 migrants were on the bay twin it capsized last week 45 confirmed dead. well plenty more still ahead here on the news hour including dozens of dead and many more missing as floods sweep away thousands of homes in china. domestic workers abandoned and left homeless is lebanon's worst ever economic crisis. and german football clubs come out in support of the black lives matter movement he said we have all the details and support.

one of the 4 former minneapolis police officers charged in relation to the murder of george floyd has been released on bail thomas lane had been held on band of $750000.00 he's facing charges of aiding and abetting 2nd degree murder for him to death set off widespread protests for police reform and racial justice well those protests are now being aimed at monuments to the u.s. confederacy. said the statues of soldiers who fought to keep slavery were destroyed and spray painted in force with virginia with one full top protest as i grew demonstrators attacked them one went off to 2 rights activists were arrested earlier in the day. the debate chooses even becoming a hot topic in the halls of the u.s. capitol house speaker and then he says confederate statue should be removed from

the capitol building well police he may be the most powerful woman in america but she lacks the legal authority to remove the 11 statues of confederate figures in a letter to the committee that oversees the statues she said at least 2 of them with charged with treason against the united states. donald trump has rejected calls to change the name of military bases they involve confederate army officers who fought against the government in the u.s. civil war the us president tweeted it has been suggested that we should rename a legendary military bases these powerful bases have become part of american heritage the u.s. trained and deployed a hero is only hollowed grounds therefore my administration will not even consider the renaming of these installations the white house press secretary echoed the whole transfuse order to brag is known for the heroes within it that trained there that deployed from there and it's an insult to say to the men and women who left

there the last thing they saw on american soil before going overseas and in some cases losing their lives to tell them that what they left was inherently a racist institution because of a name that's unacceptable to the president and rightfully so and i would also note where do you draw the line here i'm told that no longer can you find on h.b.o. gone with the wind because somehow that is now offensive where do you draw the line is it should george washington and thomas jefferson and james madison be erased from history what about f.d.r. and because of internment camps and he should he be erased from history or lyndon johnson who has a history of documented racist statements let's speak to a white house correspondent kimberly how could he joins us from washington d.c. and can be there is plenty on the president's plate right now he's heading to dallas what can we expect from the. oh well amid the social tensions that continue here in the united states the u.s.

president trying to bring about reconciliation he met on wednesday with african-american leaders now he will head to dallas where he will meet with pastors law enforcement officers as well as small business owners apparently the focus of the discussions that will be taking place with the president is whole list of revitalization and recovery now all of this again in response to the death of george floyd in the nationwide protests that have occurred in the united states we understand according to the white house that he will be talking about the racial hardships that exist specifically the historic economic health and justice disparities in american communities the white house saying these are legitimate issues that have been raised by the protesters right where he hasn't done any of the signature rallies for a long while now but he has just announced the date for his 1st campaign money when people. yeah raising some eyebrows about the

location and the timing the u.s. president saying his 1st rally and this appears to be strategic will take place in tulsa oklahoma on june 19th why is that a problem well this is known as june teeth in the united states essentially african-american a holiday for african-americans especially their independence day that marks the commemorates the end of slavery now this is significant because this state back in 1921 was the site of some brutal and bloody racial violence when might white mobs attacked african-americans using guns using explosives even dropping from airplanes different explosive devices so it's a particularly sensitive day you know this is something the white house has chosen as an effort for the u.s. president to try and reach across racial lines to try again to bring about reconciliation that many people wonder if he will be able to achieve that given

some of the rhetoric he's been known to use or that's a picture from washington d.c. i couldn't help it thanks very much there's a new social media campaign that aging businesses to reveal the diversity of their employees the so-called put up or shut up campaign was launched by a black a business owner in the united states who says she wants to push brands to reveal the number of black employees on stuff and since the protests against racism and police brutality began this they say should press has reviewed diversity reports of some of the biggest companies who pledge the solidarity with and from the efforts to recruit minorities have fallen short some brands have been showing their commitment to fight racial inequality i did us has already announced its plan to fit at least 30 percent of all new positions in the u.s. with black and latino employees. let's be not to julian a sentence walgren who's a senior advocacy officer at the european network against racism and she joins us live by skype from brussels giuliana welcome to the program. so what's happening

here exactly what these big companies and we're talking big aren't we microsoft and amazon and so forth jumping apparently on to the bandwagon without holding their own credentials to it comes up with all about basically. yes that's a question that we don't take in each return policy is fast so there is a rational. people are concerned that people of color companies so what we see now is really like a kind of. kind of. wake up call to talk about adversity any conclusion if you don't remember the market but now he's taking a look at each oh it's not it's almost structured so easy recruitment all the rules each occur in progression and where is the leadership so it's not really about representation or people of color you know maybe her mother but also who are leaders wives who can be extended to really. resident clues and policies.

right and it sounds like this campaign could not come soon enough if you look at the numbers part of the number of black c.e.o.'s of fortune 500 companies it actually peaked in 2218 years ago with 12 and today there are just 4. because i believe the market is not that people of color don't you see incorrigible sign biron not even a bit miss company is probably going to provide a seat speech free flight is very common that these employees are based to meet erections you know really a part of the job so if your out is marginal the. measure of understanding what is or what is race is or was not written says bet makes his whole environment very dumb so of course people are not willing able or to state others conditions because of the already you know very. unhealthy government so

that we can measure the mental her particular eat and of course if you're a leadership position you have time to number one and if you don't pretend that probably you'd like to to leave and it's such an environment as well right the thing is with this it is the kind of change that that is needed is so deep and radical and and fundamental it is going to take a long long time is that it will be years before things are on an even keel decades even. yes mcveigh had to start somewhere right we cannot who. is a moment of opportunity we can see what is happening every moment of. for me that or are a moment to change and i think the namrud spirit such a momentum 'd might not want to experience right now so i mean it's time it's not going to change these opportunity and trying to reap push forward very progressive actions and they project policies in we need these companies don't forget it is not

only about recruitment is about meeting the vironment safe were these people use about creating opportunities for leadership is carrying forward to use judgment days bieber is musician is about creating space for barrels of the easy to spot bodies where these people do not do not attempt. well because they are the few bailey corrections but all of the few here at recess when they explore the cd so of course each new treaty doesn't really have to start somewhere and what is happening now has created a ready elemental where we can start with i'm going to talk to you know where people should be able to listen to black people me and my society entreaties them to come out in order to progress all right great to get your perspective we really appreciate it julie in a sense we're going from the european network against racism thank you.

a lot of rainfall this time of year but the government says that compared to last year they've received already more than 6 percent more rain so about 30 centimeters of rain across this region over the past week now this region is also very mountainous it's very lush and that means that the people living in these areas are vulnerable not only to flooding but also turned landslides and according to state media many people have lost their lives in dangerous landslides across this area. another government activist has gone missing in cambodia it is the latest in a string of disappearances of dissidents in southeast asia and it's called hiding a report from bangkok pressure from supporters and family approach of the government to at least acknowledge the disappearance. taking a need for the missing dissidents of thailand. this vigil in bangkok was held just hours after reports of another reported abduction of a critic of thailand's government dissident watch i learned. it human rights groups
