by day as far as so. sunny and livings fall but i know that our knowledge already will equip and because maybe we did not plan strike as it can be from the very start and that of you didn't take it seriously like not all need to i like to name it in a way that the government of focused on along with the people nation as a whole we did not take it seriously that should have been from the very beginning like the plan when she when there is a situation of crisis and when she know that the was was going through it we should have planned a very start as it could be we should have signed a what if the number of cases exceed that finally what they're trying to have been a plan b. and then there should have been a fine see arguing to do something about an issue of how it is actually on the ground what it is how dissipate in terms of beds not just the beds and not just the

1:06 pm
now where health officials are reporting 57 new coronavirus infections that's the highest number of daily cases in 2 months and more than a host of them were detected in beijing districts in the chinese capital is under strict to 2 a cluster is the city's biggest wholesale market and the new cases of spot fears of a 2nd wave of infections officials are calling for increased testing in some people to try and prevent the virus from spreading spreading and it's been known to defeat a problem across opponents in hong kong has been following events in china tell us more about the numbers here and what the government's response has been. 38 new cases in beijing but 36 of those are related to that market that you mentioned and that's of great concern to the government there because it seems originally it had surfaced on a chopping board for imported salmon they did further testing and they found that
1:07 pm
it was on many other products and goods and containers which meant that they could have spread so much further and it's now been detected in 2 other provinces linked back to that market so the government has since shut down that sprawling complex it provides about 90 percent of the fruits and vegetables and seafood for beijing so it's a huge blow to the food chain and the supply there although the government has stepped up bringing in agricultural products into other markets also testing other markets and putting more restrictions but what is also a huge operation for the government is testing just the staff from that market about $10000.00 workers in that market are being tested not only that and they're also going to be swapping and screening anyone who went to that market since may 30th so it is turning out to be a massive an extensive operation to contain that cluster the beijing's government is very concerned for several reasons firstly they have been very careful to try
1:08 pm
and keep the infections away from beijing that is the center of government that is the heart one of the main cities there and of course the heart of the operations in china and so they only had lifted restrictions last week in lifting restrictions on temperature check screenings wearing face masks and now they're putting it all back in place particularly in the areas in the vicinity of around that market 11 neighborhoods are now in lockdown and that area is home to about $2000000.00 people so once again beijing is becoming the focus of trying to contain that question the government's very worried as all along it had touted beijing as one of the success stories in china right will beijing the focus we also mentioned the viruses reemerge elsewhere in the big worry here is the fear of a 2nd wave. absolutely nic the virus also has emerged in guangdong but that is imported cases about 17 imported
1:09 pm
cases have been detected from a flight in bangladesh so what they've done is they've stopped all flights to and from bangladesh for a month and that is protocol in china if they do receive passengers with a large a large number of passengers from a certain area the other cases also are starting to surface in other parts of china where the virus is said to be linked to that market but the main problem here is china has been selling this whole success story narrative now part of the concern comes down to the fact that the perils of beijing is very similar to what we're so what we saw in wal-mart where the virus 1st surfaced at the end of last year that's also a major city of around 11 minute 1000000 people that also started in the market and that led to the you know the epidemic in essence that spread across the globe china managed to contain it by the end of march that declared success they said they had contain the outbreak and were on well on the path to recovery and now we're seeing
1:10 pm
this cluster emerge and beijing and it's raising a lot of concerns and also china's economy has been impacted hugely so there's a lot of reluctance in trying to shut down the country as they did a few weeks ago so the government is in a bit of a dilemma but at the same time making sure that they're taking very decisive measures to make sure that this just remains a cluster and it's taste of that right ok did you leave that for them thanks very much did we compiled in that reporting there from hong kong the situation in china was enough for margie clements who is unhappy dimeola just as cut university and personal straightly and my colleague fairly well but you spoke to him earlier and started when asking if it could be the source of the latest information jane in beijing. i don't think there's a lot of evidence the the bar's spreads. i think it's far more likely that. the plans to stop it where you've been infected but some you may have trouble
1:11 pm
but other area where we may have been on the. visit of the muppet others a worked out or as a customer and set up a chain of transmission that was over and that's buster i think. the risk for the china is not through the food packaging in food distribution system i think it is through the people in and out of the mom but it's a very very large market. you know many thousands of visitors to the market. and it supplies about the budgets of fresh food so i think the really the biggest there was the baby a lot of on the table business market and then potentially spread around the city because how we understand this because beijing has had not not had a locally transmitted case in over 50 days the virus should theoretically not have been there should it. well i think it must have got them through one of 2 ways either there were in the case of in beijing. the medicare is actually spreading
1:12 pm
bars to other people it may not have become a sabbatical. and that some point in the market people visited the market the pumps and the medic in the class that was active that's one possibility the other possibility is that a person has come in from outside potentially international visit are are they were protected in the current in process and then they are set up the chain of transmission in it beijing i think it's very unlikely that the bars the baby or the . food stuff such as such as the right authorities are now racing to track and test will that be enough do you think to contain this quickly what else should they be doing at this. well i think the beijing authorities and the chinese are as a general being credibly effective in medicaid infectious disease outbreaks including that where the virus outbreak but also a great response i think they are expecting i mean obviously very seriously there
1:13 pm
are extreme measures to tell us but at the rabbi or if they're shutting down these drugs that locking people in there on the take me extends across the tracks again those are really that the tools that are available to them and they are they are they are using all of those measures. plenty more ahead on the news hour including a reshuffle in chinese company to meet spiraling coronavirus cases and death rates . i took the british. ambassador bremer's. for all the usual could speak out after all charitable systemic racism under the spotlight after the violence rest of the canadian visit to meet in. the hospital coming out to getting crowded at the top post the p.g.a. tour reaches a long awaited final round. 2 coordinated attacks in northeast nigeria have killed at least 60 people including

is a senior lecturer in african-american studies at the university of maryland in college park he says officials are listening to the outcry that followed the death of george floyd but more needs to happen. had there not been the outcry that we've seen over the past couple of weeks you would not see the level of accountability or transparency that you're seeing right now and i think part partly whether we like to admit it or not it was a large scale rebellion that included destruction of property that i think is pushing people towards making the right decisions and not trying to cover things up and trying to keep the population more in line and let them know that change is coming oh i think what we need is in terms of accountability is 'd when you have an active force and it's going to lead to a lawsuit you better believe that mr brooks family is going to sue. the city of
1:19 pm
atlanta who are this incident and so what they need to do is make sure that when they get a judgment that that judgment doesn't come out of the taxpayers' pockets it comes out of police pensions they are the ones who are responsible for these acts of violence so they need to be the one that puts the bill to us right now where they have promised to scott morrison as apologize for comments he made denying the country has a history of slavery his remarks and good indigenous australians as well as descendants of pacific islanders who say that just as well for little or no pay on sugar plantations marson says he didn't mean to cause offense i've always said we need to look at our history one of the comments i was referring to was to how the new south wales settlement was 1st established and the views that we communicated the tom informing the new south wales colony and you get back to people like william wilberforce and others they were very involved in that 1st fleet expedition and one of the principles was to be that astride that south wiles was was not to
1:20 pm
have slavery. dominic o'sullivan is associate professor of political science at charles sturt university and he says many australians are simply not aware of the past many countries in the world australia doesn't know that history terribly well and it has a habit of. think you think nice bit of a history of history that it doesn't like or that could cause tension or embarrassment or. difficulty in the present and i think. what morrison's initial comment denying slavery my main and off the cuff remark that. was it was simply a mistake and the fact that he retracted it very quickly i think realised it was a sign that he had realised that he really couldn't if they'd just as a nation because what he said was not true and in the evidence that it's not true is compelling. so rather than have
1:21 pm
a political fight have something to. it he offered his apology on the height that the issue would go away to some degree that. in other respects i think. what it's done is just highlight they significance of any society knowing its history and also. put into the australian mind the idea that it certain history isn't good in some respects protesters are rallying in japan in solidarity with the black lives matter movement. dozens of people carrying on to racism posters to be munching through a busy commercial district to take you fellows my son to racism demonstrations in the capital and in the usaca last week. the british prime minister boris johnson has condemned a far right demonstration in london as racist thuggery. as

1:23 pm
the police but i want to put all police officers in the same camp there are good police officers but the problem today is that there are too many bad ones so of course as a person of color when i walk in front of the police i feel bad i'm scared and above all when you see the videos you think to yourself that could happen to me. meanwhile french police converged on the arc de triomphe in central paris on saturday nights in defiance of the government their resistance to implement reforms including the suspension of officers accused of racist acts it comes days after the interior minister promised 0 tolerance policy for racism within french law enforcement. canada's prime minister justin trudeau has called for an investigation after police video emerged showing the violent arrest of an indigenous leader the footage has provoked outrage and spot debate over police brutality and institutional racism david meserve reports now from calgary. this was the moment canadian police arrested

a prominent indigenous leader while one officer tries to grab chief alan adam a 2nd rushes in and tackles him once on the ground adam is punched in the face as his wife a nice plead with officers to stop on friday prime minister justin trudeau demanded an inquiry like many people i have serious questions about what happened the independent investigation must be transparent and be carried out so that we get answers police dash cam footage shows adam being questioned about an expired license plate outside a casino early on march 10th chief adam accused the officer of harassing him and his wife the 12 minute video shows him swearing at the officer and taking a fighting stabs before being jumped tackled to the ground adam released this photo after being released from police custody my point did not want to come forward with this he waited for a long time he was suffering from trauma and finally came forward because i think this is an example of the systemic racism that exists in north america it can no
1:25 pm
longer be denied adam himself spoke about as arrest during a solidarity march on june 6th well it's pretty hard to turn the dollar very vicious. i took the bird it. got better the bruisers. for all the ortiz who could speak or would have to alter it for local r.c.m.p. canada's national police force said officers used reasonable force when adams resisted arrest but after the video surfaced a senior official made an abrupt about face earlier this week i made the statement that i did not believe there was systemic racism within the r.c.m.p. or canadian policing. i expressed my belief that racism is found in all aspects of our society in our institutions and in our police services adam is an outspoken indigenous leader known internationally for his work against
1:26 pm
oil sands projects near his community but while his fame has focused public attention on discrimination and abuse of people of indigenous descent his experiences are all too common and bitterness people make up less than 5 percent of canada's population but they account for around a 3rd of the prison population and 30 percent of death in police custody the question is now what authorities will do about a system that many here say is racist. david mercer al-jazeera in calgary canada or a time for weather now and jenny the monsoon is on the march and that it is doing very well actually it would cause with the good monsoon rains there's always a downside and this is it let me show you because you can see here on the satellite a massive cloud across much of the country and it's good it means we have got the rain however it comes out very very rapidly in some areas and look at this it looks fine at beginning but these are taken in several cities across maharashtra and you can see here just the depth of the water and this of course is
1:27 pm
a sort of scene is repeated in many states across the country and it will continue to do so because these monsoon rains as i say they can be torrential at times but look at this monday very extensive right the way down the western ghats carola right there across maharashtra and then of course right there way eastwards up into the far north east of india so this is all good news we need the rains the rains also bring down the temperatures and away from these rains that if i choose to look at these temperatures up to 40 celsius in new delhi these are some very high temperatures and you need the rain to actually reduce these time which is but you can see the rain is going to be particularly heavy again across the west this shows you the accumulation over the next few days and the yellow areas where we're going to see some particularly heavy amounts of rain and if you look at the number as we go through ben they choose day on wednesday you could see as much as 450 millimeters of rain that's nearly half a meter of rain so unfortunately as a sign it with the rains comes the downside of flooding the way more flooding of
1:28 pm
course we've got amounts of rain all right jennifer thanks very much see you later still ahead here on al-jazeera no coffin no burial why front the public opinion musician to drastic measures so beautiful violent confrontation. i'm treating you in beijing office and on galleries have emerged from lockdown to expose the impact of the growing a virus pandemic our everyday lives. because for coming to the world's best tennis player gets back. goldcorp for the 1st time in 3 months. called the beyond well. taken without hesitation. for unguarded for power defines our world we should not have to trade our culture for oil and gas we live here we make the rule investigating

1:30 pm
but again you want yards there are among the top stories this hour and 2 coordinated attacks in northeast nigeria have killed at least 60 people creating civilians and soldiers a group called islamic state west africa province says it carried out the 3rd rate and on a state within a week. health care systems in pakistan and india are on the verge of collapse as cases of covert 19 spike both countries have seen record rises in the number of new . infections in the past day. chinese health officials reporting 57 new coronavirus infections that is the highest number of daily cases in 2 months more than half of them were detected in beijing for shelter calling for increased testing to prevent the virus from spreading. now for european governments of struck a deal with a british swedish pharmaceutical company to supply potential covert $980.00 has been developed and tested at the university of oxford a contract with astra zeneca there is for up to 400000000 doses which would be
1:31 pm
manufactured and distributed on the no profit basis 1st day says could be ready by september even though it's not yet certain to work all right let's bring in dr who have been there who's if you're on it just lancaster university in the u.k. joins us now. it's a little confusing this isn't it so before we get to and explain for us what's happening here because we know a vaccine is not yet been found but these deals are being put in place am i right in saying to ensure quick availability of any successful candidate. yes absolutely i think one of the major challenges one of asking will become approved to scale it up because the technology lower being used these are really difficult to scale out and to distribute into the water therefore if any government they are trying to put the deal in place so that once the vaccine would become available they are not any bits of bondage and one of these delays but also as i think that what the european union and what we are also and i think this is something really important to understand that this is a proper time to merely set up some national borders rules and international
1:32 pm
regulations to be to define who will be 1st one of the ones who actually would be the one of the investor the most of the lot of warheads that need in the mouse so that is really critical ok we'll come to that in just a 2nd but how far all we with with vaccine development because we have this program underway at the university of oxford and that seems to be the making good progress as far as we can tell. yes absolutely 130 vaccines including one of mine there are 7 of accidental i think it's on trial and then there are others out on the vaccines though that in phase 2 trial and one of them is off for us to act seem so this last scene had been tested here in the u.k. and also being tested in many other countries just to expedite the process for the approval process so as it stands now it is still a long way to go to. safety i think you'd see and i mean again that's typical of the horror that has been done in monkeys and other animals that appeared to be partially productive so it's
1:33 pm
a good gamble at one stage but on the other hand this is one of the holes that we are having at the moment right you mentioned joint trial at lancaster university tell us a little bit bit about that and what's actually happening with what is the process of trying to find a vaccine. yes absolutely it might actually get one 'd of the one full of vaccines being manufactured here in the u.k. and one of the at one point up my vaccine is that it's kill ability as we were highlighting sold most of the nation will are really going into the fields to secure the future availability of the vaccine is one of the major concerns and my vaccine since it is going to be agonising it's really easy to scale it health when it's more economical like same like influenza vaccine which is in the aggregate as well so we are at the stage of the safety trial in animals so hopefully in july. or august we will be going into finding that the nations will be able to break it but if lost in one state will become available scalability we're going to be an issue as you mentioned access to the vaccine is crucial and. a calling for
1:34 pm
universal access for all but these kind of deals that we're seeing that this one with astra zeneca they seem to just be set up with the rich countries so how can we be sure the poor nations and those perhaps most affected can't be supplied with the vaccine when it comes. yes i was sort of this would be one of the biggest challenge i meant find especially and september if they were going to back some would be very close to be finalized and you had to have really a lot of resources to ensure that this would go into the country that cannot afford otherwise and who leaks before you get government got the meeting that you that actually the alliance one of that made it and this is why the merely to build up enough that sources that we can use to manufacture those vaccines then same is the case with the sappy and the big 8 foundations all the cloying to where they're not that sources to make it available because i think the bottom 'd line is that unless everyone is not safe no one is safe but this would be certainly a challenge to gets to get the vaccine and every foreigner off the border and
1:35 pm
especially when it comes to the african country that we report infrastructure and those that are still behind in the epidemics right well we wish you luck with your word dr mohamad manila from lax university thank you very much thank you very much meant by having. well in the final report about 0 series that looks at the impact kevin $1000.00 is having on indigenous communities we're focusing on ecuador it has the highest death toll per 1000000 people of any country in latin america but the indigenous community has use ancient and new methods to fight back a lot in america you see in human as this. is an especially world community perched on the high lands of ecuador. the centuries it's been the agricultural service center for the capital keep it all about an hour away. you might as well be another world this sign warns community under quarantine. for $132.00 checkpoints in around every single entry point. everything is
1:36 pm
disinfected and the indigenous community controls shed jewels entrances and exits of all vehicles and people. only a few outsiders are allowed in a curfew from 2 pm till 5 am it is strictly enforced it's now 2 pm and the town is closed till tomorrow. but even on a circular where. you must understand that the endian and the genesis people have their own philosophy their own cosmo vision language and culture that's applied to our struggle for land water and self preservation we're also applying it now to the pandemic. those who disobeys by breaking could feel or other irresponsible behavior are submitted to indigenous justice. these young men are being punished with 8 to 16 hours of community work it could include everything from cleaning this plaza to
1:37 pm
public toilets it's a moral sanction meant to embarrass them before the community that you are. the police sometimes hands them over to us and we assign the punishment. the results are impressive in this community have. $120000.00 there hasn't been a single death from cold 19 nothing short of miraculous in the country with the highest death toll per capita in latin america. is nevertheless suffering on account of the pandemic. it's famous for its roses one of ecuador's main exports but with the world economy on lockdown there roses have been wilting away. in the flowers on our main source of income around 80 percent of the population lives from them so this pandemic has hurt us badly. a few cargo planes are beginning to export their beautiful products again albeit in small quantities.
1:38 pm
but the indigenous community likes to say that their lives will again smell like roses as long as they continue winning the battle against the intrusive new virus. you see in human al-jazeera. chile has a new health minister after his predecessor resigned today controversy over the underreporting of coronavirus cases. it was under mounting pressure to quit off to it was revealed $5000.00 chileans have died during the crisis as 2000 more than the government had reported a new daily record is reported on friday and chile has more infections per 1000000 people and other countries in south america and our fellow has more. it is a bit of a surprise to hear the resignation of chillis health minister on saturday especially given the fact that she lays right now going through the worst phase of the corona virus outbreak in the country there but health minister of mentally each is
1:39 pm
a somewhat of a controversial figure he's been heavily criticized for taking what's being criticized as a as a relaxed role for not implementing more robust mitigation measures to contain the spread of coronavirus in chile comparing the the efforts and she led to efforts in neighboring countries like argentina which implemented a total lockdown so the president of chile is have a stamp yet it has been under a lot of pressure from political opponents to replace the health minister all of that culminating now with the resignation of my knowledge but if we to if we look at chile right now just to reiterate a few of the of the statistics she was supposed to be an exception to the rule in latin america even before the outbreak began in the region latin america was expected to be ill prepared it was said that latin america spends less on health policy than any other country in the world there was an expectation that she would do better than most of the other countries in the region unfortunately what we're seeing is that she lay again is one of the worst hit countries in the region
1:40 pm
