is that because. from prison to prison. you see. the old. 0. hello again i'm just on the attack and this is the news i live from my headquarters and coming up in the next 60 minutes another daily high for corona virus cases in florida and arizona as the death toll in the u.s. now surpasses 125000. outrage in india after an earthen reify was used to transport the body of a private 19 patient as the country struggles to cope with over half a 1000000 infections. russia denies claims that its spies often bounties to taliban

linked fighters in afghanistan to kill u.s. coalition forces. and cosmetic giants are to remove words associated with whitening from their products in the face of the global backlash against racism. the sports news of the f.a. cup which. he did not show and formula one champion. bernie ecclestone over what he calls and. comments on race is. now true of the world's most populous nations are reporting a wave of new coronavirus cases despite contrast in approaches to try to contain the spread the united states which left it up to states to impose lockdowns is now

facing a resurgence of the virus mostly in the republican controlled southern and western states which did not impose stringent shutdown measures florida and arizona both recalled a daily high as for cases of in 1000 on saturday and now the nationwide death toll has passed 125001 in india a nationwide lockdown has not been able to prevent record daily increases that the country now has more than huff a 1000000 infections the capital region of delhi a learn expect 500000 cases by the end of next month still europe is forging ahead with reopening but is struggling to reach a consensus on just how to do it even leaders have not yet agreed on which countries will be allowed quarantine free access from wednesday we begin our current. virus coverage from the us and patty ca in is in maryland just outside washington d.c. for us patty we've been watching those cases climb in florida and i see the today's figures yet another daily record it seems things are going from bad to west across

the republican controlled south. well you know this is all coming in just to give a little perspective the day after the vice president mike pence came out and said all 50 states are reopening safely health experts came out and said that is absolutely not true one problem they say is they just aren't simply testing enough people the president likes to say the cases are going up because they're testing more people but that does not actually explain what is happening just to take a step back we saw a couple of weeks ago when these southern states in these western states said ok we're reopening and we saw people flood into bars and restaurants and beaches and now predictably with health effects of the health officials said was going to happen is the numbers are increasing just to give you a sense florida has 9500 new corona virus cases as of today it was more than 8000 yesterday in houston they sent a text message the houston in the state of texas they said

a text message to all of their residents saying that the outbreak is now level one which means it is severe and uncontrolled so what you've seen is in texas and florida you see in the governor step in and say we're going to put some restrictions back in place closing down bars reducing capacity or restaurants and and texas they're closing a white water rafting facility were younger people were congregating but that's one of the more alarming things for health officials in the country is who's getting sick remember this was supposed to be a disease that mostly impacted the elderly that is not the case right now a 3rd of all hospitalizations is in those states is between people between the ages of 18 and 49 so we saw all these young people rush to go out rushed to resume their lives and now we're seeing the consequences what we're seeing is officials trying to put it back in the box without putting a full lockdown back in place but at the same time the one thing that experts say is needed necessary if you are going to control the spread is you need to wear

a mask but wearing a mask in the united states in large part because of u.s. president donald trump has become a political statement so even in the state of florida. at this very elderly population with this rapid spread the governor is still not mandating wearing face masks in public well let me ask you that in passing we've seen deaths now nationwide pos 125000 so how is the white house response to this pandemic now being without it well they had their 1st pandemic briefing in 2 months and the president wasn't involved with that in fact right now u.s. president donald trump is golfing at his golf course in virginia and it is impacting his polls we are seeing now former vice president joe biden leading him not just in the states that he needs to win the swing states know he needs to win in november but in solidly republican states like texas for example and florida now it's a very small lead but it is still a lead and that has got to be sounding alarm bells throughout the trim campaign

because if it gets worse and health experts say it's going to get worse they're not doing the precautions they need they're not doing the contact tracing that is going to be too new to spread in states that he needs to win. the election florida and texas and again florida has a fairly elderly population and polls show that is where he is losing the most support with white older voters those are the people he needs to win them the election last time and he is losing their support as the virus gets worse it is likely so will his support among that key base. speaking to us there from just outside washington d.c. thanks very much. well that's right in saying india now has more than half a 1000000 acquired a virus infections and that has all led to worries about a shortage of medical equipment and a scramble to try to build temporary facilities. as well. if there was any doubt that india is struggling to cope with a coronavirus pandemic this footage from the state a band or

a pradesh seems to confirm it adiga carries away the body of a man who tested positive for 19 is the latest shocking image from a country where the infection rate is surging and the authorities are unprepared in india's crowded capital more than 40000 people have tested positive in the last 2 weeks new delhi's hospitals only have capacity for around 13001000 patients. need it he expected an increase in cases but it's been higher than we initially thought in the 1st week of june there was a shortage of beds in hospitals some people didn't get a beard and as a result the death rate also increased. india is number 4 on the list of countries worst affected by the corona virus with more than half a 1000000 cases and more than 15000 deaths and the number of infections is expected to rise in the coming weeks the authorities are working to transform hotels wedding

halls and spiritual centers like this one into cave in 1000 care centers experts are advising the federal government to prioritize reducing deaths over containing the spread of the virus may be. right. but. it is. the doctors say expanding services is not enough india's public health system has faced years of cutbacks the impact of cave 19 is exposing its inadequacies. health care system so we don't. want to listen to be the leading. cause literally we. will be like this because we don't want not to be the only who can be. new delhi is not alone in experiencing

a surge of covert 19 infections are the big cities across india are also suffering and several states have extended the lockdown some experts predict nearly half a 1000000 more indians could get infected in the next 2 and a half weeks the tour a gate to be al jazeera. now peru has launched a nationwide vaccination program to ward off a surge in preventable diseases as it deals with the current a virus pandemic hundreds have been curing in the capital limited to be immunized against measles and other illnesses now months of lockdown have prevented many children and also elderly people from getting routine vaccinations while costa rica is further easing restrictions there with movie theaters shopping centers and beaches to reopen this weekend and also announced it will open its international airport on august 1st to tourists from countries that have controlled transmission

of coronavirus or we can now speak to man or polo he joins us live from mexico city many in a region that struggling to contain spread it does seem that costa rica has a bit of an outlier here how have they done. it is it was even seen as an outlier in the region even before the arrival of coronavirus one of the few countries in the region that said to spend enough on public spending to 2 to be prepared for this sort of outbreak but as you mentioned announce to the health minister has announced that tourism will reopen on august 4th on a gradual and limited basis but in order to do to reach that goal the country is eager to declare that they have the outbreak under control right now the country has made this announcement of a reopening a gradual reopening of its economy but there are still concerns over the borders the borders with nicaragua and panama remain closed panama has had one of one of the last countries to actually admit through its leadership that the corona virus

outbreak was a problem for them panama conversely on the southern border is one of the worst affected in central america so there's also concern regionally over $100.00 in the worsening effects of the corona virus their potential e bleeding over into neighboring countries of central america but as you mentioned coast rica is an outlier while the rest of the region is struggling to contain the virus and that as we've been saying the rest of latin america katy not doing so well cases i've been a have have now tripled in the last month and brazil continues to be hot. brazil is living in the worst case scenario for south america not the only country to be affected but certainly the worst the latest numbers over the past 24 hours brazil saw an additional 46860 new cases 990 new deaths this brings the total number of registered cases to well over 1200000 and what's of a big concern in brazil right now beyond the fact that brazilian hospitals in the

major cities are overwhelmed there are oversaturated but now that the virus is moving beyond the limits of brazil's major cities health care workers public health workers are having a hard time reaching people in more remote parts and more rural parts of the country but again while the rest of the region is struggling we can point to countries like to here in mexico as well of countries and governments having a very hard time mitigating the contagion no one is worse stop at the moment than brazil money or power or they're watching the region for us from mexico city thank you very much money now the u.k. is set to cancel the 14 day quarantine for people arriving from countries that it considers to be low risk for private 19 and will divide nations into green and red categories and those from the fast 2 groups will no longer have to go into isolation the rule changes to be announced next week on the u.k. is also expected to establish so-called ed bridges with france italy spain germany

and greece and that would mean quarantine free holidays for travelers to and from those countries but the u.s. portugal and south america expected to be among those in the red the u.k. is self isolation policy came into effect on june 8th and has been criticized by airlines airports and the hospitality sector paul brennan has more. i have to say the people that we've spoken to here in kingston in south west london are rather of the opinion that it's a bit too late for this year now the fear of infection ongoing infection the news that we've heard from america for example. just the hassle that there has been in the uncertainty about trying to book a holiday until now has left many people writing off this summer and looking ahead more to next year for their summer holidays rather than try and chances that said with the knowledge i think the announcement from the government that on wednesday

they'll be a full relaxation all over the current 14 day quarantine system has been welcomed by the association of british travel agencies they said it's encouraging they certainly hope that more people will try and booked some kind of a last minute deal and there's evidence that although most of the travel agents offices here there's a couple of other one just around the corner that are remaining closed the online booking systems have seen a big surge in in bookings today so there is evidence that there will be some people prepared to make that last minute dash particularly because the travel agents are offering some pretty hefty discounts in order to try to entice people back onto planes but like i say the but the straw poll the people we spoke to here found that the expectation of having to wear masks on planes of all the other restrictions they're going to are going to be in place for that for the for the foreseeable future simply not enough to persuade them that now is the right time to be booking those last minute foreign trips. well there's plenty more ahead for you

on this news hour including facebook announces warning tags to some content as more big companies pull advertising due to hate speech concerns. causing its plan to fill a mega dam on the nile more on the hope that ethiopia can strike a deal with egypt in 3 dogs. and in sport back to where liverpool returned to training 3 days after winning the premier league. now russia and the taliban have both denied claims that moscow spies off a bounties to afghan fighters to target u.s. coalition troops the russian embassy in washington d.c. dismissed the u.s. media reports as dangerous and baseless fake news the taliban also rejected the allegations saying it's not indebted to any foreign country while the trump

administration reportedly received the intelligence assessment in march but as yet to respond well we can dig into this with some odd he's a senior nonresident fellow at the atlantic council and is also a former afghan ambassador to france and canada he joins us now on skype from washington d.c. thanks for being with us they have previously been claims that russia has been supporting the taliban so how significant a these revelations especially for the afghan peace process. well yes there have been claims that the russians have certain contacts beyond just talking with the taliban and then go back at least 6 years in some cases never there is this allegation that just came out from. american sources saying that import was given back in march to the administration that the russians may be in collusion with some taliban opinion groups to a main target american coalition force in afghanistan is

a new and i think it's very controversial and as with a lot of questions always the in washington it is also a political issue because the american americans are in a campaign mode heading towards elections in november so what is needed at this point despite the fact that the russian parliament. is to substantiate this in order to see what else may be going on at a time when there's a peace process underway where afghans are supposed to meet on one hand the taliban and others on the other side afghans that are on the post $911.00 order the afghan government included and we this is going to complicate issues further and it remains to be seen as to how it's going to have an impact but it feels like the peace process is really just gaining traction could this potentially be rail that.

i am not sure a lot depends on how diplomatic efforts in the next few days especially the promoted contacts that have existed between the russians and americans in the past couple of years i don't have a level on the afghan political issue in the peace process or may be able to tackle this issue on one hand this issue has to obviously as i said be substantiated it needs to be looked into it needs to be taken seriously on one hand on the other hand we need to see how the diplomatic efforts from here are we can deal with this issue and whether it is going to be real all or stop or maybe to some extent. it's going to. damage the afghan peace process. and if it does what does this mean in the long term to the american presence in

afghanistan to decision there will be to give you and it's quite misprision by the time actions on our. decision that we take in after the american election is as the us when you meet about a diplomatic response really being critical here in terms of what happens next this has been sitting on present tense desk now since months and we've seen no such response yet what do you think is causing the delay. well this is a question that has raised a lot of issues politically very controversial as to why it is that. if anything has been done so on one hand the problem is to just come out and explain why they have done if whether we have done anything about this if anything has been done and how is achieved has it changed the equation on the ground and if you haven't why you have nothing this you see but i think that is so

that is a burden the burden of proof that lays on the shoulders of the lies of the fault of the congress ministry show the other hand the taller law also need to come out. in a more clear manner and explain whether the other had these relationships and always see the russians themself you know was denial but we also need to explain whether they want america to leave this region in the behind the stable afghanistan to seal the region whether they want to fall down because remember in the 1980 s. russians would walk down that stands and. americans were who were assisting africans like the russian i will continue watching all of these developments very closely indeed an ocelot to the finish line to counsel great to get your insights on al-jazeera thanks for joining us. rights groups have expressed concern over violence against women in latin america during the virus pandemic

protests against femicide taking place in colombia despite the ongoing lockdown as the government stands accused of being unable to protect women correspondent alison is in the colombian capital with some of those protesters as wonder we've seen demonstrations around issues of femicide before what is today's message. yes we are at the site of one of these demonstration in the south you might be able to see there are roughly a couple of 100 of women blocking one of the toro fares here there's also presence of the police they haven't intervened yet about the traffic is completely at a standstill right now and they're protesting because as you were saying in your introduction there has been an increase in the number of killing women during the last the coronavirus lockdown with women home and that they ended up being victims

of the violence in most cases or in many of these cases. partners that while most crimes of gone down during the lockdown in colombia being almost sides in general robberies violence against women that has actually increased by 8.6 percent there are getting these asians that are following this and they say that a $110.00 families sides are killing of women on account of their gender this year. more than have happened during the last down they want so torrie these to do more about it the impunity is a big issue here fortunately in these cases there are been all the 4 sentences so far this year 65 people have been captured. most of those trials are now moving forward so these women are trying to bring attention to the public of what's

happening and. particularly what has been happening during the law now violence against women is nothing new unfortunately i'm in the current colombia is 2nd only to mexico when it comes to violence sigurd's rumor in the region but these people are saying more needs to be done we understand we should be home because of the lockdown but we're out here protesting to ask for people to protect women in this country. there on the streets of workers are for us but those protesters thank you for that update alison or. as alessandro was just saying one of the worrying effects of the coronavirus pandemic is also the increase in violence against women aid groups say it's saw in latin america where already 20000000 women and girls suffer attacks every year let's take a look at some of these numbers venezuela saw a 65 percent increase in femicide that's gender based met in april

a month later the number of women killed in argentina reached a 10 year high columbia recorded a 50 percent rise in domestic abuse reports by women under lockdown and in mexico where it's estimated 10 women killed every day emergency calls also jumped by 50 percent in the 1st 4 months of this year so we can now speak to viviana before kids she's a human rights lawyer and a feminist advocate and she joins us now via skype from bogota viviana those numbers are shocking talk us through what's driving this violent increase. i think i'm biased now is the more p.c. one or the something that is not new york every week many were killed because of me . and then i think that the women are tied up to the out of the order men of this society is indifferent to the violence against women and they do just use them in a fresh and they tend to question sometimes the big thin skinned these are intended

to mind be rape then being asking a question just to be to see if their life this is where women go report no way to go through all that. for us they can accept it's us to know we know they were to see a response are we saw it from the ground and see what seemed like i have been close to many women and i think naive is heartless i forget for a bit because of their reply when something news that they think cases are of the news and the media and they go are men feel they need the operation and they act quickly but then they were asked their hands on it and then we our problem is that thousands of women. just wait they are 1000 helped her get the cases out there is still waiting to do a response of that use these. events and other way to do whatever and then also

that our lifes don't matter. in your in colombia right now and you are talking about this culture of impunity what do you think the government can or needs to do to tackle this and do you need more laws more and force meant. we've only marlo's the we have enough and maybe it's like the education system who operated the law the boy used to persecute those that their superiors those billy they don't believe in one that says they're me end of the due process and they will go out and they mean is that the we have to see this instead and then ignore that we've been slow since the fall to do you know to go through so i knew this is the reason because up to is there. was an organization and there manning for colombian government to declare don't buy only

his national humanitarian emergency these declare asians you still to make their government brighter save do something in the family or even nationally or the region i live longer lives do but if don't put a range of danger and sanction those in their race their very lives because i are not sure is there sometimes it is in the new year about them not to happen so we have to change these. i.c.u. under lockdown and dealing with this pandemic other countries like south africa for instance they were worried about domestic violence increasing with locked down restrictions and in south africa they banned alcohol sales to try to help could something like that help in latin america do you think. it's. i think some day that cooler things i call you something that they face an excuse but i think he's more adequately sure they have their say that is not respect the rights that they

reflect the stent and he's in every way like i mean they're people who don't believe in war and don't respect their war and we have to see in this part of the quota that things like. that maybe some upset out of the words but they seem that we have to start to occur in that discourse about the violence in our super in our society in our family members in the media glare as didn't they work we have more able to do doctor by by instinct was by he's everywhere and then sometimes in state that people don't say anything you know it's like is here are people. close to you all and then people don't have to say anything that we have to speak out as they saw on t.v. they be something. that is not just for me or for one person to support it where it's for everyone is for this society and it's a big groan and maybe sometimes it just is just for for

a few bears on and then we go how big conversation about there and it's a conversation that will continue viviana barca's there a human rights lawyer speaking to us from bob katter great to speak to you and get your thoughts here on out of there thank you for joining us thank you. still ahead here on al-jazeera an end to political deadlock ireland has a new prime minister leading unlikely coalition government and in sport football fans and quarter on not happy lee will be here to tell you why. hello there remains halls and drive throughout much of the middle east some dusty conditions as well the winds have been fairly strong of the last few days still some strong winds in the 4 calls to go through sunday time which is in the mid to

tuesday don't often hear told by the people who lived on. the news what this is you wrote on al-jazeera. moonroof. hello again imus on the attack and that's remind you of our top stories this hour in the u.s. florida and arizona have reported and now that daily high for cases of 19 the country is grappling with a resurgence mostly in southern and western states the nationwide death toll has now crossed $125000.00 coronavirus infections also surging in india's biggest cities pushing the total number of cases there to more than half

a 1000000 hospitals under pressure some cities like new. delhi are scrambling to build temporary facilities. and russia and the taliban in both denied claims that moscow's spies offered bounties to afghan feiss to target u.s. coalition troops the russian embassy in washington d.c. dismissed there were reports of basements while the taliban says it's not and as a to offerings from any country. some of the world's largest cosmetic companies have been subjected to criticism for promoting negative connotations of daca skin especially in the wake of the black lives mass movement and now as a result from spaced cosmetics brand l'oreal has decided to remove words promoting weiss's skin from its products that includes the words fair and the word lights or unity of a decided to rename its fair and lovely line earlier this week it's now dropping the wet fat and on thursday u.s. cosmetics giant johnson and johnson said it discontinued 2 lines of products with

the words of fairness on the labels it's now also planning to stop selling its skin whitening creams in asia and the middle east now nina davuluri spoke to is the fast indian american to be crowned miss america back in 2014 she's petitioned manufacturers to stop making whitening products and welcomes the news. this is been an issue that i have been really advocating for 6 years now since the time that i won this america i remember the morning after i won and woke up to a headline in an indian newspaper that said it's miss america too dark to be miss india and that was the moment that everything had changed for me you know i grew up hearing comments like don't go out in the sun you're going to get too dark or oh you'd be so much more beautiful if you're a few shades lighter and since that time i've actually been producing a documentary starting 2 years ago called complection that really aimed to untack this idea colorism not only as it exists in south asia but many countries around

the world and so to hear this news it's really the 1st step in moving forward to dismantle these arcade notions of colorism and globally just eliminating the products doesn't solve the issue or changing the name doesn't solve the actual bigger issue that we're talking about here and that is this ideology that their skin is considered elite that's fair skin is considered the ideal is better than and darker skin complection and that in itself is racism so unless these companies can and not only companies that of course entertainment industries need the jazz really dismantle these ideology that they themselves have built that they are skin and it is the only type of we're be scanned then we truly can't break the cycle of colors. well we can now speak a little more about this with a mirror she's the founder and executive director of beauty well it's a project that aims to end skin lightening practices and chemical exposures he

joins us now from minneapolis in the united states amir we've seen some of these big companies and then the nape some of these products and others just relabel them is the problem here with the words or with the very existence of the product itself . thank you for having me it's not only deprived. kill it it's him is. studded with inclination is really deeply rooted in culture that's so just changing the names and this continuing the whole entire product will not change the issue. so these companies who are saying that they're changing the names they're not stopping this all of these products so basically they're still up all the ideas of color is that white is that black is actually there is still up holding these ideas so it does not change the fact that there is still promote in. just in the last hour and here i was speaking 10

minute of it or if you just heard from this well the former miss america has been campaigning on this issue and we were both commenting actually on the fact that as women of color we've both been told the way to dock these products is because of demand so how do you change something as entrenched as the very concept of being seen in various cultures. yes so as i mentioned earlier this is 3rd it this is highly prevalent. experience call and they say she was or is slavery and so it becomes so much embedded in cultures and saw so we have to really kind of nice the minds of these communities we have to educate communities of color then we have to teach them that these so they saw the priests who were there but also. but also we have to make sure that these young people and these communities of color black communities and brown communities see the percentage of people that

look like them whether it's media whether it is celebrities whether it's these magic can be any sort of presentation is very important and so we have to really really and colorless them and that actually will help to address the issue of chemical exposures that are coming from these cultures and and our saw. why we have to really define beauty what beauty is that needs to be redefined i do want to ask you a little more about the chemical exposures because so many of these products have become so incredibly mainstream in parts of asia and africa that it can actually be quite hard to find a product that doesn't contain something whitening but some of them can also be very toxic talk us through some of those dangers. actually all the skin lighting products are toxic there they're all made of metal could be and we know our every

skin lighting product it's toxic so america. it's extremely toxic ingredient and we have been tested in product is that contain high levels of mercury and we're talking about. just all the way to $150.00 parts per 1000000 of nerve and we know that most of the logical impacts in the impacts and other health impacts and these are 2 lifetime health impacts that we're talking about. early childhood. exposure has. a lot in these communities that we work with and saw and also had. this is an ingredient that causes cancer and so so it's not only we're fighting with colored it would also make sure that we improve the health outcome of our communities and. the founder and executive director of the well thank you for joining us out of there. thank you

so much for having me. all the black crime is not a movement is now also influencing the entertainment wild following those weeks of global protests creators of the cartoon show the simpsons now say they will not use white actors to voice characters of color anymore the show had already faced years of criticism for its portrayal of the indian convenience store. why is actor hank azaria step down from that role of this year the show hasn't outlined any specific changes for other characters there and changes also coming on another major american cartoon family guy act i'm i can read said he will not voice the character of kievan brown anymore saying persons of color should play characters of color he also voiced a latino made character. i spoke to kevin powell he's a human rights activist and also wrote the book when we free the wild he says there needs to be more changes like this across the entire entertainment industry. i

think that you know what we're looking at is the fact that probably would is recognizing that people of color can wolf we left out of the participation of these these these care these these these these roles whether they're voice overs for end of nation for real growth and i'm sort of black people but also asian people let their people native american people who don't eastern people those people call it theory and so there's a record they have to being because of george floyd being killed on videotape and that it's in a minnesota a few weeks back and it's the necessary conversation let's employ people of color in these spaces that they've never been employed in or not on a regular basis the real issue for us in america right now is power sharing and being a part of the decision making process and oftentimes people of color are not even at the table as these decisions are being made that could be racist or islamophobia of course sexism or any of those things that are actually in the hurting people all over the world not just in america as images are put out there we know that in t v the does is not enough depictions of people of color and again we're not just
