a former diplomat and a businessman with spying. and taking aim at boko haram nigeria's military says it's killed several leaders of the armed group. thanks for joining us the world health organization has delivered an alarming warning on the coronavirus pandemic rather than easing the outbreak is in fact accelerating and the world is now in a new and dangerous phase so globally 150000 new infections were reported on thursday that's the highest number in a single day nearly half of them were in the america the w.h.o. was urging people everywhere to maintain extreme vigilance the world is in a new and dangerous phase. many people are understandably fed up with being at

home countries and understandably go to open source eighty's and economies but the virus is still spreading far as it is still deadly and most people are still susceptible. we call on all countries and all people to exercise extreme vigilance well the w.h.o. drew particular attention to brazil which is fast approaching 1000000 infections that's the highest number of cases outside of the u.s. another 1230 people have died there in just the past 24 hours and scientists in italy have found traces of the corona virus and wastewater collected from milan and turin in december suggesting it was being spread through northern italy even before china reported its 1st cases let's bring in our line america editor in the city new

machines joining us from chile and the number of cases in brazil is nearing a 1000000 any sense that the government has a grip on the situation. very well what we've just heard is that it already has in fact surpassed 1000000 and that's another 20 nearly 27000 the new can take cases in the last 24 hours that according to a media conglomerate in brazil which normally puts out the statistics earlier than the health ministry which really will be in a few hours from now but the government doesn't seem to be planning anything new on the contrary president. has been urging the country to open up to open up its business is and to open up its entertainment including football which as you probably know is very very important in a country like brazil and so last night for example the 1st game was played the 1st state championship was played in rio de janeiro right next to

a an emergency tent hospital where coronavirus patients are being attended and word is 2 people died we understand while the game was taking place so a very very bad news indeed and in the meantime we spoke to the former health minister and we came on that was fired by president bush for insisting that it was necessary to increase confinement measures and this is what he had to say about what's going to happen with that pandemic in the near future. the middle of. the. time and. i think. and where you were in the cea and chin the government seems to be imposing stricter measures yet the situation keeps getting worse. it

certainly does another 6000 cases reported today more than 6000 in fact and the government is increasing police and arming the lot roadblocks to try to keep people at home to check that they've got permits those permits to allow people to go out of their houses to 5 food or medicine have now been reduced to 2 a week nevertheless the president is insisting that more needs to be done including raising penalties for curfew and and quarantine breakers to 5 years in prison the opposition to as it will not go along with this because a lot of people believe that the real problem here is not that people are breaking the party but rather that there has been too much alexa to do with business is with companies that are allowed to hire people that there are still allowed to circulate every could see a lot of buses a lot of cars here this is supposed to be a total lockdown right now except gavel but instead a lot of business is that claim to be essential services are still functioning and

forcing their employees to go to work and that seems to be perhaps the real problem right now as we see it thank you for that update from santiago. millions of people across the united states are commemorating what's known as juneteenth that's the anniversary of the announcement of the end of slavery. rallies are taking place in new york washington atlanta and many other cities this year the date significance has grown with recent protests against racism and police brutality so juneteenth got its name because on june 1865 an order was issued to free thousands of slaves in the state of texas slavery had already been abolished for more than 2 years but many whites in the confederate south kept the new secret there had been long been calls for it to be

from washington d.c. and bring in our town say so what's it like in washington state how. the school grounds are brewing actually right now so everyone is trying to maybe the russians a little bit without them you can memorial clearly of enormous significance. there with several 100 protesters who march from the bottom to the king jr memorial. and i'm with one of the organizers off this protest that. i had to show but she's appearing with us here and he told us that the significance of celebrating and protesting at the lincoln memorial. he uprising that's going on around music around the company yeah this location was very deliberate and it's very symbolic we wanted this to be more than just another protest in history. one of the active voices to be loud enough that they care eyes and that they understand that we will not stop

doing this until you answer our calls for change here man said i have a dream and this generation will see that dream through. are you seeing signs of trade recently took 20. about trains but you actually see actual change now the possibility of actual change from the people who have the power to make it so i will say that disappointment in our leadership is definitely added and not what i will say is that our community is showing up in our community is changing and from that change i think. i believe that we'll see a change in policy i have never seen or heard so many. people of color white people asian hispanic anyone come together to take part and so passionate and powerful i think that the community is changing and i think that more and more you so much. that i must thank you go to work. and that's what we keep on hearing that does seem to be something different perhaps because of the

sophisticated continuing and widespread targeting everything from all levels of government and political organizations to health education and critical infrastructure the government says cyber experts identified it as a state by stock because of the technique and scale of the attack you could describe it is malicious and that is why now. awareness leaders need to be right but morrison reassured strongly and saying they didn't appear to be any large scale breaches of people's posts no information it's a form of ice metric warfare. information warfare and the. scouts ran the usual declarations of hostilities and the identification of his during the attack and a lot of it is about denials cyber attacks on new but the government says they're increasing in frequency and scale it won't say which state it believes was behind

the attack but it comes at a time of heightened tensions between its trailer and beijing since is cold for an independent inquiry into the current of ours pandemic china has imposed tariffs on bali hole to base imports and also warns chinese students against studying in a stroller well the government has been careful not to point the finger at beijing publicly it's the country most widely speculated by intelligence experts to be behind the cyber attack and one of the few states along with russia iran and north korea which would be capable of carrying out such an attack but whoever is to blame the government is businesses to strengthen their technical defenses as the attacks increase nicola gage 0 camera. well the u.s. navy says it won't reinstate captain brett krause year after finding fault with his

party to that deal with iran have met to discuss what they do next and yet again they have shrunk back from a decision to return to the sanctions route against iran remember that these countries have been trying to adopt a bit of a carrot and stick approach with iran they have helped they have set up an old instax to help iran to as it were get around some of the sanctions imposed by the united states but they've also used the stick approach against iran several times by saying that the the activity that iran has been undergoing and going through since 2019 are not really the kind of things that should be it should be doing under the treaty it agreed to to it's also these 3 ministers here have referred back to the access that iran has been denying to the international atomic energy agency in saying well iran really needs to allow the inspectors from the eye to do their job but the clear from here is that the 3 european powers

find some sort of agreement between the 2 parties because the protest the protestors are gaining momentum now there's less people than last week partly because people couldn't afford to come to the capital bamako from the countryside and because of the security situation but still we have thousands of people on the streets of moscow protesting asking for president. to once again resign so it seems that the concessions that the president had made on tuesday raising the salaries of teachers and. suggesting that he would dissolve the newly elected national assembly in the constitutional court calling for a national unity government while all of that was not enough to stem out or to quell the crowd of protesters and in the absence of say who is the main opposition leader who's currently has been abducted a few months ago during the parliamentary elections in the absence of stimulus he

said well it's the influential leader mahmoud who's leading the charge against so following this high level mediation by the west african body he's conceded that he's willing to hold talks with as long as he fulfilled his promises. hello again the headlines on al-jazeera their world health organization has warned the coronavirus pandemic is entering a new and dangerous phase more than 150000 cases were reported on thursday the highest number in a single day while many nations are easing restrictions the w.h.o. has urged people to remain vigilant the world is in a new and dangerous phase many people are understandably fed up with being at
