from the. hundreds of doctors and hide their bods main hospital for coronavirus patients on strike just one of many protests by health care workers across india a doctor here was attacked by relatives of a patient he had just declared dead who were rushed towards us and they just throw the children. me under data was broken it was hard to my left and i guess i was very scared and. i still was going to toward me doctors in hyderabad want the government to enlist more hospitals to treat the 19 patients nurses in india's leading public hospital protested for 8 days in delhi until the all india institute of medical sciences promised to improve working conditions even further there are nearly 300000 cases and more than 8000 deaths

along with a public health system that has faced years of cutbacks india's public and just because you know an image is that i mean it in. the face its limitations its streets its in that it was. for the whole world to see. his father isn't receiving proper treatment in hospital but he was admitted here yesterday and a doctor came to check all the time since and no doctor has come to check on him my father is 60 years old and a heart patients he has a severe cough and a fever. his uncle died from the corona virus at the same hospital this week but in the death that we cannot sort of talk about it we kept on walking from the more to the hospital with great difficulty we got the body and did the funeral he too was admitted here there were no beds available in all of delhi we had to put in a huge effort to get him limited here the worst cities of delhi and mumbai most to have some of the best health care infrastructure in the country reports of people

being. turned away from hospitals continued and here in delhi there are discrepancies in the number of deaths municipal council said they have buried twice the number of coronavirus patients and those being reported by the government this week the group. delis chief minister says they're expecting more than half a 1000000 cases by the end of next month because. a c. has are by that that the 1st of july really 80000 birds this will be a huge challenge. year delhi trying to restrict the territories beds to its residents but the central government has overruled that decision and the a supreme court says the situation facing patients is deplorable and ask the worst affected states to explain why the people aren't receiving proper care elizabeth pran of al-jazeera new delhi the world health organization is warning the pandemic is surging in size and severity in latin america in brazil now the 2nd worst hit

country in the world some intensive care units are 90 more than 90 percent capacity scientists have described president also now as a response of the virus incompetence more than 40000 people have died there and it's widely believed the outbreaks has yet to peak let's get an update from the he's joining us from bogota what are you hearing about the situation in brazil. well there in the w.h.o. is again sounding the alarm of the situation in brazil as you were saying in your introduction is the 2nd country in the world with the highest number of cases and it's now on track to become also the 2nd country in the world with the highest number of deaths there expected today on friday to pass the u.k. in that grim category there is a silver lining though the choice also saying that so far the national

health service in brazil as managed to cope with the situation under the increasing pressure however there are parts of the country where the intensive care units are in a critical situation a critical state with more than 90 percent of the beds fool so the situation is very worrisome we've seen big crowds though going out especially in hotspots of coronavirus. crisis like in big cities like in rio de janeiro and sao paulo very dense cities but people are starting to go out to malls that have been reopened this is of course of great concern there is also concern about the fact that the president here both are narrow continues to dismiss the effects of all this in his country and he called on his supporters to go inside

hospitals and feel and show what the situation truly is saying that it's not true that some of these intensive care units are in crisis in that instead this is all a boy to try and get him out of office this iteration in brazil is also quite critical because besides of beyond this pandemic there's also an increasing political division that is truly. putting out a risk that will crack to extend beyond the country and one side of the opposition is calling on an impeachment against the wall so not always being investigated for corruption the same is true for some of his sons but at the same time its allies in the score big base of supporters are now calling for a military intervention to keep him in power so a very very tense situation in brazil

a lot of different elements and it's of every complicated time for the yes sounds like it ok i was under a pity thank you for that update from bogota was the u.k. government eases coronavirus restrictions it's watching the countries our rates that's a measure of how contagious the disease is it's hoping to keep that figure below one so that would mean each person is infecting less than one other person on average a week ago that figure was below around 0 point $7.00 across the u.k. but the latest data for england's are rate suggests it could be as high as one our rate is at its highest in the country southwest's where it could be hovering just over one. most brits understand that we've sacrificed a lot we've stayed at home we've been fighting this virus getting the on number below one what we don't want to do is you know end up sort of essentially re importing it either by people coming here or brits going abroad and coming back so

i think the idea of a korean team is the right thing to be doing and i know that it has broad public support meanwhile the ukase economy shrank by nearly a quarter over march and april as the coronavirus lockdown hammered businesses the u.k. has been warned it could be heading for its deepest recession in 300 years despite the easing of containment measures most shops in england will reopen next week and prime minister boris johnson insists the economy will bounce back while the economy's 25 percent plunge in the period over march and april is by far the steepest and sharpest on record it takes the country's g.d.p. back to 2002 levels in comparison the worst of the global financial crisis that was in 2008 was nowhere near a sharp dip of just 6.8 percent but that recession lasted for 5 years laura sleep is in london and says there are big questions over how the country will reopen.

well the r h 3 production rates might not be going up in the u.k. but the real issue is that it's not going down the epidemic isn't slowing and it's not going away and that's not just a concern for public health it's also an enormous concern for the economy figures that came out on friday suggest in the 1st quarter of this year the u.k. g.d.p. the total amount of money created by the country fell by 20 percent that's the equivalent of 20 years of economic growth wiped out in the single go in the country whose economy now depends very greatly on the service industry things like restaurants and bars the idea that people are still going to have to stay too far away from each other that the r.h. isn't going down is going to prevent them from reopening and just as european countries are now preparing for the summer the u.k. cannot do that at the moment in the same way at the same time very large companies there is a lot manufacturing the sorts of things that really underwrites the economy of the

country then they are starting to lay off thousands and thousands of people with all sorts of rumors of even greater job losses coming over the coming weeks and unions of warned us that the social effects of mass unemployment in this country could be every bit as great as those of the virus and so the problem with our rate not going down is it affects the economy very greatly so what does all of this mean for the least well off in one of europe's wealthiest nations i speak to dave ennis's head of economics at the joseph roundtree foundation he's joining us from leeds out and in northern england thanks for your time with us on the news hour on al-jazeera so the government's clearly saying that the economy is taking a heads with dire warnings of a recession but let's look at this on an individual level and what does a 20 percent g.d.p. drop mean for those who are already caught up in poverty. you know you're right it's a 20 percent drop in g.d.p. from month to month there's something we haven't seen before and while the size of

that change is shocking it's very not that surprising given that we've shut down big sectors of our economy to help with the health crisis over the last few months but what that feels like really depends where you sit in the economy and we know that it's many of those who are already at risk of poverty have been pulled into poverty before coronavirus that have suffered one of the economic fallout from kimono virus well and for the u.k. prime minister boris johnson insisting that the economy is going to indeed bounce back what's your reaction to that and how long do you think it will take for an economy to bounce back. well we really don't know at the moment we've never been through this sort of self-induced recession as we've got at the moment because it really was a really necessary response to the health crisis and we just don't know what happened after after this kind of recession but what's really important is that the

sectors of the economy that will be longest to open up sectors like restaurants hotels non-food retail are the sectors of the economy where people in work in poverty in britain rely on from. people who were already at the biggest risk of poverty before coronavirus and how and how is it that the government can actually support people out of this what what sort of tools do they have at their disposal that they can use. and the government has taken bold measures that are far we've see an unprecedented scheme where the government has paid wages of staff which means that in temper only laid off and that has protected big number of people from . consequences that could have been really really severe so if there is those poll measures have done a job so far that some people have formed through the cracks but there's a big risk that it's large number of people could fall through the cracks even

further could be dragged into poverty in the next stage is that support is withdrawn too soon before those sectors are able to get back up and running for that and even as i mean if anything this pandemic has really exposed inequalities in particular when it comes to health inequalities with specific areas being hit hardest like in the northeast of england for example so is there an opportunity here for the u.k. to do things differently going forward in what needs to be done i don't know absolutely that is the way to do things differently going forward and we know that our society was not in a good enough place before covert 19 we had 14000000 people in poverty including 3 in 10 children and we absolutely have to be looking now at how we reshape our economy going forward so that it reduces poverty enough as more people across our country who's out of poverty and secure learnings in why and how we create

opportunities all across our country so right david us we thank you very much for speaking to us on the news hour. more have coming up on al-jazeera including outbreak in the amazon how coronavirus is ripping through brazil's indigenous communities. a bomb goes off during friday prayers in kabul with peace talks just weeks away. and support for formula one races are called off because a corner virus leave will be here we'll tell you which one. but 1st libya's national oil company says it's lost more than $5000000000.00 since january because of the ongoing fighting it was forced to put exports on hold at its largest field this week after it was shut down by an armed group once again battles between the un backed government and fighters loyal to warlords or inching closer

community countries who recognize the g.n.a.t. but support have to like egypt can't be trusted. the u.n. support mission in libya has said that the d.n.a. in half there is military delegations are now fully engaged in the 3rd round of talks but with both sides setting strict conditions it is unlikely we will see a ceasefire in libya any time soon now traina al-jazeera misrata the killing of george florida in police custody last month sparked protests across the u.s. and the world along with demands for police reform now protesters have taken over a 6 block area in the u.s. city of seattle that's completely free of police president donald trump isn't happy unless threatened to send in the troops how to call him the latest. for weeks the streets of seattle were consumed by chaos day after day of protesters facing projectiles and heavily armed police the police said they were also attacked.

the seattle mariners a temporary ban on tear down the police used it anyway and then they seemed to give up walking away from this police precinct the city's police chief said it wasn't her decision you fought for days to protect i asked you just stand on that line day and day out to help it with project to be screamed at threatened and in some cases hurt then to have a change of course nearly 2 weeks and it seems like an insult to you and our community after they left the protesters claim 6 city blocks as their own calling at the capitol hill autonomous zone or traffic is not an aggressive or violent end at them like we did we didn't come out here for any of that just with those black lives killed by the police we want people to see that those lives matter it reportedly has the feel of a festival the protesters have planted gardens given out free food hosted long

conversations about race relations. but the u.s. president donald trump sees this very differently tweeting to local leaders in part take back your city now if you don't do it i will this is not a game these ugly at our kids must be stopped immediately move fast the democratic governor responded writing what we will not allow are threats of military violence against washingtonians coming from the white house the u.s. military serves to protect americans not the fragility of an insecure president and the city's mayor also responded demanding we do better as a society and providing true equity for communities of color is not terrorism it is patriotism it's unclear if the police will move in to take back their building as the 2 sides remain locked in a standoff a peaceful one for now paddy calling. on the governor of the u.s. state of new york has signed

a package just sweeping police reforms in response to the nationwide police brutality protests andrew cuomo says they will hold police more accountable there is no quick fix to this there is no well stop tear gas well change the uniforms that's not what this is about my friends and it would be a mistake if we went down that path this is systemic reform a police departments this is sitting down and taking a look at exactly what they do and have been doing and looking at it through a new lens of reform and reinvention because this has been 4050 years in the making. demonstrators and some politicians across the united states have been calling for major changes in the way the police operates in some cities like minneapolis that's where george floyd was killed have been made to dismantle the police department altogether christmas salumi visited one city that

did just that it's a lot has changed in camden new jersey since muhammad 1st bought his business here 15 years ago 2012 the city had the highest murder rate in the country and a police department with a troubled reputation mohammad credits the creation of an entirely new county police force for making his street safer doing their share and there is this. big criminal running down the bodies that are supposed to be very helpful the new camden county police department points to this incident with a knife wielding man caught on video as evidence doing away with the old department was a good move they say this kind of disciplined nonviolent response has led to a sharp reduction out only a crime but also in ality complaints officers including sergeant rafael thornton had to reapply for their jobs with the new department would say the biggest thing

that allow people such as myself who are the minority to be the majority. it changed the culture camden chiefs actually joined demonstrators recently who are protesting the police killing of george floyd violent crime has gone down dramatically here in camden since the county took over the local police department but they've also nearly doubled the number of officers on the streets and some local activists think that is exactly the wrong approach i ended merrill believes there would be even less crime in camden if there were more opportunities he's with a local group that supports what's become a national movement to cut funding for police if you look at the communities that the police are occupying people's lives getting better are you improving the overall quality of these people's lives the people feel safer they don't know the relationship is just as sure as it's strange as a previous administration more accountability and local control of camden police

not disbanding them altogether is what he's calling for and he hopes the growing reform movement will get more people to listen christian salumi al-jazeera camden new jersey a statue of britain's wartime prime minister winston churchill is just one to have been boarded up ahead of anti-racism protests expected in london this weekend the country's prime minister says the marches have been hijacked by extremists after monuments were attacked but as the day in baba reports it's opened up a debate about who still deserves to be remembered and how. a reflection of a wider debate raging in britain like lives matter support is arguing with a potent spy the statue of winston churchill opposite the u.k. parliament it was boarded up because of fears it could be targeted by protesters now the prime minister's called the need to protect monuments observed and insisted people should not be protesting what's happened with these these demonstrations is

that a tiny minority or a growing minority. have hi jeff. and they are using them as a pretext to attack the police to to cause violence and to cause damage to public property so my unforeseen my message to everybody is that for all sorts of reasons why they should not go to these demonstrations. last weekend's demonstrators in the city of bristol pull down a statue of 17th century slave it would cost him it's now been retrieved from the river will be housed in a museum some commentators have suggested britain should leave such monuments up as a reminder of the evils of the past the local man disagrees statues you know in a not themselves do not do the job of teaching assistant you know if you were to try and base your historical knowledge of person on the statue of coast and you were using that to write in a paper i'd give you an 8 because it tells you he was a wise and to

a son of the city but that's not the full story is and at the latest anti-racism protest in central london there was little sympathy for boris johnson stunts i'm not sort of for ripping going around and ripping down statutes but i think i mean people have to also sells releases so it's questions about who we stock what we hold up a standard bearer i mean some parts and people in munich i want to have a not just that he whatever people do is wish someone complain about how we're trying to get a message across so we pay taxes and i feel like that's one of the best face that mr president knows to listen to us to 70 things other people are just ignoring yeah these protests have given people a chance to a grievances about perceived police brutality and discrimination in britain right now but they've also opened up a debate about how the country remembers its past and who it chooses to celebrate the protesters say it's about opening up difficult discussions not just closing

days after another mosque in kabul was targeted a mom was killed and i still claimed responsibility the government and afghans alike have condemned the attacks on these places oh boy shaped. by the. general that this is how the terrorism targeting holy places like mosques be condemned this attack and that's against any rule of fighting the attack happened at a critical moment for afghanistan peace talks between the taliban and the afghan government are closer than ever some saying they'll start within weeks and as attack some places of worship increase so is the concern that spoilers like myself could try to undermine the political process everyone involved in the negotiations says they must be prevented from doing so for your country free al-jazeera kabul. or the news hour still ahead. on this skitzo saliva could save millions of lives.

well returning to the current virus and the pandemic has been particularly devastating for indigenous people across latin america hundreds of tribes across the continents are difficult to access or test for the disease but some are fighting back so communities living deep in brazil's amazon rain forest have blocked access to their villages despite this rights groups say they're still twice as likely to die from the virus than other brazilians in mexico the indigenous population of more than 12000000 often use community radio to share information in remote areas of course or as khayyam by population of 80000 are guarding the entrance to their town they have just one infection and then colombia's cloud forests 10000 members of the tribe have also set up guard posts there is a bow reports on why doctors fear the virus will devastate indigenous indigenous communities in brazil. more than 100000 people from more than 300 tribes these are members of brazil's indigenous communities corona virus is

spreading fast among them and now they're struggling to cope with the seas so we probably didn't see that they had a specific word for indigenous people for salmons for us to perform our rituals under medicines but there's nothing like that here we have to go through other hospitals for a referral when you get there they don't put on the documents that we're indigenous . this hospital in my analysis has a designated area for treating indigenous patients but doctors say the biggest problem is not here. the disease is spreading into the interior and now it's going to hit the municipalities the river communities and the indigenous and the case of indigenous people they'll be brought here and why do we have an indigenous ward because we need to learn to treat people that are different differently and to value what sounds from the amazon with the state with the highest concentration of indigenous and brazil the highest concentrations of indigenous in the world and geo

saying that death toll among indigenous people in brazil rose from 28 to nearly 200 in just one month and they expect the number to rice we spoke to sonya who is in the city of d.p. now. she says many communities are fearing extermination. there is an increase in illegal miners and loggers and they bring in the risk of infection we don't have the privilege to care for the pandemic alone we have to do this and at the same time keep on fighting with historical problems we face that will never dissolve like deforestation and invaders in our territory deforestation has also increased in the past month compared to previous years illegal miners and loggers are pushing deeper into the jungle brazil's president has made it clear he wants to open up the rain forest for business and the discourse is an incentive to those who want to expand brazil's agriculture frontier

a video released by the supreme court during an investigation against the president shows his environment minister expressing the government's plans. to susan we need to make an effort while we are in this car moment in terms of press coverage because they are only talking about corporate and push through and change all the rules and supply norms environmental groups say the government wants to move forward with a legislative. that will we can see guards against the incursion on indigenous lands. and for these communities it means their livelihood is seriously had risk threatened not only by epidemic that continues to spread but also by a government that is ignoring their calls for help. so can we trust coronavirus statistics given the variation in testing numbers and criteria around the world as early as february chinese officials changed their criteria when they choose to include when they chose excuse me to include

clinically diagnosed infections because of a shortage of tests new cases surged by 1500 in just a day in april spain's prime minister was criticised for claiming a study ranked their testing volume 5th in the world they were the problem was no such study existed many in the u.k. are skeptical of the government's daily testing counts the number includes tests that have only been posted outs and mouth and throat swabs are counted twice and the chilean government caused outrage when it confirmed the number of coronavirus patients who had died were being included in the number of recorded recoveries let's talk about this with john byrne murder could die out a journalist at the financial times here in london thanks for your time with us and i know this is something that you look into quite deeply so given the variation of testing numbers and differing government policies can we actually trust the numbers . yeah i mean it's a great question and i think as you just alluded to in your introduction that there

is more and more evidence now that we really do need to be very skeptical of the numbers that we're hearing directly from government. as you suggested there has been true all over the world we also had some reporting ourselves colleagues of mine from india specifically from new delhi this week showing that there as well this is this is a country where certain parts of india being hailed for successes in how they've dealt with the virus early on but we're now hearing from hospitals in new delhi. and the suggestion is that this is the case elsewhere in the country as well that many many more people have died than are being recorded some people are saying india my may really be reporting around a quarter of its covert deaths so i think the overall message is we should absolutely be skeptical of the numbers we're here we're seeing here and the one thing i would add to that though is that in most of these cases we're not talking

about any deliberate attempts by governments by officials to downplay the severity of the situation it's more the health care systems on mortality reporting systems are simply being overwhelmed by the numbers of people who are critically ill or in tragic cases dying that are just far far higher than they've ever had to deal with before i understand ok so for you than for someone who actually studies this and dissects and breaks it down what's the most reliable way of measuring the numbers. sure so the the approach we've been taking out the f.t. and others other publications have also looked to do this is looking at what we call excess mortality excess deaths so that's where we take the number of people dying from all causes not just coronavirus this in 2020 and we subtract the number who would die at the same time of year in a typical year so for example we say how many people have died in a given country in the whole of the month of may and how does that compare to the

average for the last few maze and what we're doing there is where essentially saying forget about how a country is recording this how it's reporting it whether it's testing rates are low or high and just tell us whether we're seeing more deaths in this country than usual and that means we get around the fact that some countries use different methodologies and have different testing rates and we just get the single number for each country which says here's how many more people are dying than usual and the reason we believe that that is a more reliable number is that in some of these countries where we've heard about the reporting problems and the problems of understated numbers or excess deaths numbers are a lot higher and a lot closer to what the people are seeing on the ground so just to give you one example ecuador is now looking like possibly the hardest hit country in the world in terms of its access death rate so if you look at the number of people who've died in ecuador over the last couple of months compare it to the average for recent years and then adjust for the size of the country ecuador now looks to be the worst

in the world and that is a classic example of a country where for many weeks we were hearing these daily reported numbers coming out of ecuador and they were just far lower than what we were seeing in the pictures of coffins piling up in the streets so the evidence is that excess deaths is a much more reliable indicator and and that's really just showing that the picture is a lot worse in many parts of the world than we initially thought very interesting to see to it john byrne mark thank you very much for joining us from london. thank you now nobody knows where the next epidemic will come from but scientists in cambodia are preparing for a clinical trial of a universal vaccine against mosquito borne viruses so they believe that the insects live or could be the key to stopping the next health crisis sarah hire at explains this small they suck your blood and they bites it for days but the saliva from these mosquitoes could help save lives scientists dissecting them in this lab just

outside cambodia's capital and they're extracting the 3 lines are made of protein in an attempt to create one vaccination against all mosquito borne diseases but markedly. we have more than 8 an incubator the mosquito saliva gland if we see a yellow color it means that the patient has developed antibodies against the protein in this alive. only existing vaccines inject a small dose of the pathogen like malaria is an antidote but this type of vaccine is unique enough to uses the carrier in this case in the ski type to train our immune system to recognize proteins in the mosquito saliva and then respond by weakening or even preventing the infection but most by each then only inject the viruses and other pathogen but also they inject certain level herbs and those routinely left bacteria and viruses also on into the human body so this study has been working on. finding those proteins that are going to say you care about is

a predator and using that one as a vaccine and destroy it appeared that it induces strong immune response has been very little side effect we're just certainly encouraging hundreds of thousands of people die every year for mosquito borne diseases and more than half the world's population lives in areas where one type of species transmits multiple diseases including the cat and meaning only one type of vaccination would be needed to protect us from mosquitoes one of the most dangerous insects in the world and scientists believe that they are getting closer to finding a way to prevent the next epidemic saddle height at al-jazeera. burundi's constitutional court has ruled the president elect must be sworn in immediately this follows the sudden death appear in a currencies of the country's outgoing president just weeks after elections were held to choose his successor the president elect won the election in may but wasn't supposed to take office until august. thousands of people across hong kong have

marched and sung protest anthems to mark 20 years since protests there hit a turning points. they've been commemorating a rally last year when tens of thousands of demonstrators were dispersed by police officers surrounding the city's legislative building the protesters delayed the debate of an extradition bill that sparked months of demonstrations and was alternately shelved. there was in the city's business districts and saw confrontations between demonstrators and police. this place like this are set up in almost all districts of hong kong it charts the timeline of the protest movement starting from june 12th to 2019 until present day june 12th this is significant day because it is seen as when the protests reached a turning point going from mostly peaceful marches and demonstrations into neared daily violent confrontations between the police and protesters on this day

a year ago protesters surrounded the government headquarters they were debating a controversial extradition law that law would have allowed suspects to be tried in the opaque courts of mainland china which are communist run the law was eventually withdrawn but on that day human rights activists and protesters say police used excessive force to break up the protests that changed the nature of protests and the police tactics both sides upped the ante in the coming months and just in the middle of all movement of like one fish in a foreign place only one year anniversary so we're here to support our nation can call march demonstrations and rallies are planned for this day but canceled due to social distancing restrictions currently only 8 people are allowed to gather in one place this gives the police the impetus to break up this protest that at any moment

there's a very heavy police presence around that most people here are defying those orders to be able to express themselves i'm actually very worried about the power of the police at us because as we can say it is getting wider and wider and there is no effective mechanism to exercise checks and balances on them and they can just arrest anyone they want they can just stop and search because you are young scared and. you're wearing black ok over the past few months the protest movement seemed to have subsided it gave time for the police to review their tactics they now try to shut down protests as soon as they happen with large numbers of police coming in and breaking out gatherings and that's just what's happened here but the protesters are just as fluid they just move on to other areas and carry on chanting slogans and regroup again at another point so over the last 60 years more than 200000 south
