corona virus infections and a poor economic forecast from the federal reserve. and other world health organization is warning that covert 19 is accelerating across africa infections there have doubled to 200000 in less than 3 weeks the w.h.o. says a lack of testing kits remains a big problem. and us president donald trump has authorized sanctions against international criminal court officials investigating u.s. conduct in afghanistan the i.c.c. has rejected the measures calling them an unacceptable attempt to interfere with the rule of law. now america's top general admits he was wrong to join president donald trump for a photo opportunity outside a church after the area was cleared of and he raises. protest is chairman of the joint chiefs of staff mark milley he can see him here in army fatigues says he regrets accompanying trump he says it created the perception of military involvement in domestic politics many was with trump as he walked through lafayette
5:17 am
square after police used pepper spray and stun grenades to disperse peaceful protesters the president then posed with a bible outside a church as many of you saw the result of the photograph of mia lafayette square last week that sparked a national debate about the role of the military in civil society i should not have been there my presence in that moment in that environment created a perception of the military involved in domestic politics as a commissioned uniformed officer it was a mistake but i have learned from and i sincerely hope we all can learn from well let's not speak takara spondon and you got to go he's in miami and the 1st esben now millie seems he is just the latest to distance himself from triumph over this incident talk us through how it's all playing out. well i think it's pretty significant that a 4 star general with decades of experience in the u.s. armed forces made a statement like this this is
5:18 am
a man that serves the president and also represents the constitution and the american people and i think that he's really owning what he admits himself was a mistake we saw those pictures of him strolling with president trump and those unprecedented scenes shortly after those peaceful protesters were cleared out in full army fatigues and there is a clear you know confrontation between what his job is and what he was doing enough moment in time and now you've got marcus but the secretary of defense who publicly disagreed with president trump over his threat to deploy the military to calm the protests here across the country now saying that he will review the national guard's reviews over the past few weeks in these protests we've seen across the nation so there is dissension in the ranks i think. in the white house and marcus for apparently president trump was considering firing him and he was talked out of it by some of his senior advisers that's according to at least one publication here
5:19 am
in the u.s. but these are most men i think that realized in that moment that their job was not just to work for the president but also to represent the american people and up hold the constitution so in some ways i think the general especially took a risk but he also is a man of honor i think that realize what he did there was wrong and he's really owning that mistake markets for the secretary of defense may well be on thin ice that's certain the impression you get from the latest press conferences at the white house where the press secretary was saying for the moment marcus remains the secretary of defense president trumps pleasure but it seems for now president trump has been talked out of firing him and i see even a need all that criticism for being heavy handed with those protesters trump has now been playing up the law and order in dallas. yeah he's still banging that same drum he had a public meeting in dallas where he talked to various religious leaders various
5:20 am
local dignitaries he talked about education reform for communities of color we talked about black business owners getting easier loans to rebuild their businesses but it's the law and order and police reform that really caught people's attention here's what the president had to say we're going to finalize an executive order that will encourage police departments nationwide to meet the most current professional standards of force and then reinforce put force with compassion but if you're going to have to really do just this somebody is really buried you're going to have to do it with real strength real power and i said and people said oh i don't know if we like that expression i said we have to dominate the streets you can't let that happen what happened in new york city the damage they've never done anything. so this is an executive order that president trump says he's finalizing and it is a suggestion that police forces across the united states follow guidelines not the
5:21 am
kind of reform that people like black lives matter are demanding at the moment and people that weren't there it's quite notable that 3 county officials the police chief the sheriff and the district attorney were not at that meeting and all 3 are african-american barnett relented and he got together for us in miami following this development thank you randi. now brazil's death toll from the corona virus has officially passed 40000 and with more than 800000 confirmed cases it's the west had country in latin america now the iconic beach of coke copacabana in rio de janeiro has become the latest battleground amid growing tensions over the government's response. has. activists from a local peace organization dug 100 graves on beach in rio de janeiro turning brazil's most iconic teary spot into a mark cemetery to memorialize the country's more than 40000 people who've died of
5:22 am
kovi 19. it was a symbolic memorial but also a dramatic protest against presidents just here both scenarios dismissive response to depend their make about a bit of. the president of the republic needs to understand that the people are enduring one of the most difficult moments in its history thousands of dead families mourning unemployment the ghost of hunger haunting the houses of the velour residents and what can we expect from the president of the republican a time like this expressions of hope of solidarity seriousness and management. many locals seem to appreciate it the memorial was also a focal point for the deep divisions among brazilians and masculists supporter of president sorry knocking down the crosses while others applauded then another resident intervened to put the crosses back up as an argument ensued
5:23 am
you know what will be. my son died from coronavirus he was 25 years old and this guy's clowning around with no respect for those who are protesting there needs to be respect the beach is public and they have rights to. people for and against the protest argued in front of the cameras some accuse the protestors of being leftists terrorists. president how soon as you know brazil has woken up to these actions from the left nobody can take it anymore instilling terror and doing ridiculous things. the president. downplaying the pandemic trenching an already divided country even seeking last week to conceal the total number of dead turning a dangerous health crisis into a deep political one that increasingly seems to be bringing the country to a breaking point. where millions of children could be
5:24 am
forced into child labor by the current virus pandemic that's the warning from the united nations the number of children working has been in decline for the past 20 years but the effects of the kovac 1000 outbreak could reverse that trend but global economic downturn is expected to lead to a rise in poverty which studies show is directly linked to child labor children already and child labor may end up working longer hours under even worse conditions unicef and the international labor organization are calling on states to bring in greater social protections for the most vulnerable along with enforcement of better labor standards well we can now speak to cornelius williams he's the associate director of child protection at unicef and he joins us now on skype from new york thanks for being with us mr williams the u.n. as part of that sustainable development goals was aiming to eradicate all forms of child labor by 2025 is that now given the pandemic still a realistic target. who believe will not be able to achieve that tell ghetto to
5:25 am
leave government don't place but now right this moment of crisis is an opportunity for government to make sure that actually the response that it's required if it if the economy deteriorate 'd to make sure that children don't get really to challenge a label and we keep the trajectory that we have on the it will be if for the last 20 years we have been able to illuminate 'd to come up 9994000000 children out of charlie. what have been the impact of a lockdown is here during this pandemic i mean and so many places it seems that the restrictions that were meant to protect the most vulnerable have actually already put many more at risk while they're doing to navigate swe helping these 'd companies 'd actually still don't have the 4 feet of the c o 2 of the economic crisis right but what we're seeing now too early is getting.
5:26 am
billions of children who are out of school and we've seen actually property increase probably to receive 'd you know dropping livelihoods of families we see in actually. they leave their families to make decisions in their household how do you use their equal so they're not so throw him in part of the family that pressure on the planet at least what we're talking about and the pressure on the family 'd base to the family make a decision to not in the best interest of the children. mr williams i see that the sectors that children are most likely to end up working in are agriculture and domestic welcoming they can be quite informal sector which can be very hard to monitor how can all of this be penny east. so there are there were no laws and regulations that were passed and what we say business and regulation should not be suspended and one of the things we are calling for 'd is that type of time to
5:27 am
a kid go maint workers and employees should start that discussion right you know berate the unions that government should start this discussion of how they're going to make sure they have it all and make sure their children don't get drawn into charlie for good. the basic thing actually it's not about money to it it's about supporting the families so that the families don't have to make those negative decisions so we're calling on the government to look at this closeness and to make sure that children are so into out of their response plans i see that you are calling for more social protection and here with governments that are already under strain trying to shore up their economies are you suggesting that they redirect funds rather 10 direct welfare payouts for instance. what we're suggesting we have seen got maids all over the world actually. who took the place so ship
