wearing of mosques in public. if we do it right we can overcome this crisis the head of the european commission says the stakes couldn't be higher as e.u. leaders discuss a major financial virus recovery plan. also ahead the u.s. tells the european union it should do more to tackle those defying a u.n. arms embargo in libya. and the hamas with the sport real madrid have won the spanish league title for a record extending the 34th time. man ending the club's 3 year wait for the tennessee. we begin in india where the number of corona virus infections has now surpassed the 1000000 mark several states and re imposing restrictions after the lifting of the nationwide lockdown last month. more than 25000 indians are reported to have died

off to contract the disease the actual number of infections could be much higher than reports of life to elizabeth peron i'm in new delhi. tell us more about the government reaction to this latest grim statistic. hi peter well we very much seen the management of the outbreak move from the central government a few months ago to being managed by state governments at the local level bringing lockdowns back into tries to stop the spread of the virus go is the latest territory it's in lockdown from today but just until sunday but it also announced said that bringing in a night or so from 8 pm till 6 o'clock in the evening until the 10th of august people allowed out of non essential activities joy and perhaps what's the most significant lockdown in the country right now is in the 2nd most populous state of

bihar where nearly 130000000 people went into lockdown on thursday that for 2 whole weeks the situation in bihar the cases there really concerning because it's india's most impoverished state has the worst public health care and that's why the government decided to bring a lot down back in because they do not have the public health care system to deal with the sort of rise in cases that we are seeing there elsewhere in the country. for the number of lockdowns a major cities and big alluded to and today instead of an unsupportive and hearty and in the southern city of bengal do they have just installed something like 200 mobile labs in containment zones to test everyone who's staying in the containment zones the some places are using the time of the lockdown to increase testing because even though india has increased testing so much of the last few months.

it's still not testing enough to know the real number of cases in the country now they're also bringing in this idea of bubbles or safe doors at the airport so people can go i assume from getting off the plane to getting in a taxi or on the bus in safety how is that going to work. so the 70 i should ministry has announced that it is. has these air bubbles it's calling them starting from today in fact between india and the u.s. just for 2 weeks in between india and fronts from tomorrow now they see this as the next step of the repatriation flights which have been going on for the last few months because this still no international commercial flights in india so something like 700000 people have been brought back to india and these repatriation flights some countries especially the u.s. have had an issue with these flights because they didn't think that air india that indian airlines should have a monopoly and so partly these air bubbles and to allow other airlines to

operate these flights they are a little bit more open than the perpetuation of thought that not just the citizens people who have valid visas whether it's residency or work visas can use them and the government is in negotiations also would be u.k. in germany this is that they're going to expand the flights depending on whether there's demand for them and there's very much you know they say that this is the step between repatriation and a return to international commercial flights that they're very much continuing trying to reopen india despite the rising cases that we're seeing ok liz we have to leave it there many thanks elizabeth there on our correspondent there reporting live for the news from new delhi. the number of reported infections in brazil has now surpassed 2000000 with 75000 deaths in the 2nd worst affected country

around the world after the united states some hospitals are now struggling to cope with concerns that many infections are going on reported because of a lack of testing a former health minister is among the voices condemning a lack of leadership from the president also narrow infections in the u.s. have set another record more than 70000 cases in 24 hours that is the highest daily number recorded by one single country so far despite that one governor is trying to block an attempt to stop the virus from spreading his alan fischer. dramatic u. turns across the country as many states which had rejected the idea of telling people to wear face masks or seeing cases search that everyone can adopt the practice of wearing a face mask for the next 4 weeks we will be able to get cobra 19 under control. but in georgia the governor there is going to court to ban cities and municipalities

making masking in public compulsory brian kemp says local orders can't be more restrictive than measures he's put in place his team only strongly urge is the winning of masks the governor has taken a formal position on mass in the state of georgia so whatever the motivation is i think that at the end of the day we all have to do the right thing because it's the right thing to do and what the scientists are telling us is that the right thing to do is to wear masks mask are not a political statement mask are a public health to a necessary public health to. the state of georgia can t. used to send mixed messages to everyone that lives here cases are no surging in 40 of the 50 states hospitals are being stretched to the limit we were previously

seeing about one inch and or even one in 8 of our tests that we were doing in the community they were coming in back now we're seeing one inch or so about 25 percent of all the tests that were doing which we've also ramped up but we're seeing more of those that are coming back which concerns us for increased transmission in the community the u.s. government centers for disease control recommends wearing a mask as do most medical professionals but it's only mandated and about half the states many retailers have their own policies no mask nor service but that's what some angry reactions putting one customer drawing a gun in florida you know new york's governor andrew cuomo has enlisted one of the most trusted voices in america to get the message across like when you wear a mask you have more respect. because your mask doesn't protect you it protects me morgan freeman appears on these public service announcements america

to mask up but it's clear the issue has become political and in america in 2020 political means divisive but many governors are warning if things don't improve when you'd stay at home orders might not be far behind alan fischer al-jazeera. the white house is increasing the pressure to reopen schools across the u.s. despite a backlash from some parents and some teachers as well as a record number as we've been hearing of new infections the trumpet ministrations as the consequences of not reopening cos rooms far outweigh the risks to children. the science is on our side here i we encourage that for localities and states to just simply follow the science open our schools it's very damaging to our children there's a lack of reporting of abuse are there is mental depressions that are not address suicidal ideations that are not addressed when students are not in school our schools are extremely important they're essential and they must reopen the leaders

are meeting in brussels for the 1st time in months to negotiate a qubit 19 recovery plan a proposed $860000000000.00 worth of a rescue package is aimed at pulling the e.u. out of what could be its deepest recession talks last month ended in deadlock use for biggest economies germany france italy and spain back the proposals other countries do not. we are at the beginning of this summit now and the stakes couldn't be higher because if we do it right we can overcome this crisis stronger and emerge stronger from the crisis all the necessary pieces are on the table and a solution is possible and the solution that is what our people in europe expect from us because it's their jobs that are at stake and the risk of the virus still persists and the whole world is watching us on this does have no need for sankar

not that we are not sure if we'll be able to come to a solution yet although we are hopeful but we have to be realistic it will require a great deal of compromise from all of us if we are to achieve something that's good for europe and something that's an appropriate response to the economic difficulties we're facing and i expect negotiations to be very difficult. joining us now is ian begg a professor at the european institute of the l.s.e. in london he joins us on skype in great to have you here on the news hour again so this is a huge deal not least because we've had emmanuel macro and angela merkel clearly signaling now for what the best part of 2 or 3 weeks this is a defining moment for the european union very much though and if they don't reach your conclusion today it's liable to be kicked down the road until september or longer and european citizens will not be very forgiving if there isn't any kind of solution so i think this is

a critical meeting it's worth noting that actually today's angular merkel's birthday so i think should be hoping for a particularly good birthday present. how do they square some of the circles here because they've got the baltic countries latvia lithuania estonia plus poland saying look you've got to really address where you spend it and which country gets how much money. yes it's a classic e.u. challenge of one how to horse trade your way to an agreement the problem you mention the central needs to european countries are saying we're relatively poor is the more the money should come to us the northern bloc known to some of the frugal 4 or 4 countries which are opposing this because they don't like some of the terms in which is exactly 0 and any of the southern european countries plus friends in germany pushing for an ambitious successful creation of a new recovery forms in all of this the horse trading can go in very strange

directions for example it's being done in parallel with the negotiations on the e.u. budget for the next 7 years one component that is whether some of the countries get what's called rebates money back from what would otherwise have to pay. off or in the duction the danes a rebate is the way to get them to agree to the recovery package and what do they say to you talked about eastern europe they're all formally eastern european countries what do they say to people like viktor orban you know he's been saying in effect do not tell me what to do and if i get money from you do not tell me where to spend it. well there's a tension there for for a number of reasons one is that there's been concern about what's been happening in hungary and indeed in poland on what's called the rule of law but they resist attempts to say your money from the e.u. is conditional on you respecting certain certain rule of law norms and we have to

remember that in all this is that every every country has a veto on the entire process because it has to be agreed unanimously therefore it will probably soft pedal the rule of law questions in the hope of seducing the likes of war or the pope who should ministration by saying here's the money to sleuthing worry last question in is it as simple as in those areas that were particularly badly hit early on in northern italy long body areas of spain is it as simple as throwing money into the health care system or is is there a list of other things that they can and should be doing. it's very much the latter because the direction for this huge e recovery program and is worth mentioning that it's one of the points of contention is whether it's direct spending grounds or loved ones that's another

promise of going to have to resolve this is very much about the future of the of the european union as it recovers is going to be a strong emphasis in all this on what's called the green deal trying to foster a much more environmentally attractive european economic growth model is not really about expenditure and on health care with a very immediate cost so the covert 1000 crisis ok we have to leave it there ian thank you so much more also being told in that they will be changing their face masks every 4 hours and disinfecting their hands every 30 minutes back there in london good to talk to and thank you. thanks. the restrictions have come into force in israel because of a virus infections their public places such as shopping malls and tourist areas are closed at the weekends and the miti limits on social gatherings both both indoors and outdoors some israelis for help mass protests against the prime minister benjamin netanyahu is handling of the emergency. coronavirus testing is being

a transfer rugs mainly prom syria mosque or dubai but if have are fearing it will be shorter than mediterranean sea and also hope profit as you know libya is the gate overall african continent is no more practical. so why you should stop cold turkey or that i'm a government because when they support these 2 actors they have more to lose in if the mediterranean and i do politics and also african politics. now the police in the south west of iran have dispersed protesters who are angry at the ailing economy the internet access was disrupted as demonstrators showed videos of the rally online security forces fired tear gas to disperse demonstrators in the southwestern city of babylon on tuesday judges upheld the death sentences of 3 men involved in protests last year hundreds of protesters forced their way into an oil

production sites in southern israel on the they were demanding jobs and more government investment in the region the largely peaceful protest was the latest in weeks of unrest and political turmoil soon on wednesday in israel's prime minister resigned. members of the west african bloc of course are in mali to mediate the escalating political crisis between the ruling party and the opposition the delegation has met with what's known as the june the 5th movement led by an influential mahmoud supporters of the protest movement want president. to resign they say he's been unable to solve mali security and economic problems key to has heeded some of the demands from the protesters he's promised to form a national unity government and to dissolve the constitutional court demonstrations began last month over the outcome of parliamentary polls held earlier this year nicolas hark who's covering those developments for us from dhaka in neighboring

senegal nick hi there tell us more about the ecowas members and the delegation. well peter it's led by former president nigerian president goodluck jonathan but he came with a team of 30 experts some of them are lawyers constitutional lawyers from togo and been here to help solve not only the political crisis but the institutional crisis that mali is facing key to this is. a parliamentary seats that were won by the ruling party during the last parliamentary elections that you mentioned peter those seats are contested by the opposition members of the protesters movement want to see a revote take place and so that's a key element to the negotiations that have been taking place i can tell you peter last night good luck jonathan as well as the experts that met with leading members

of the protest movement the m 5 women as they were called and one of its leaders 3 walked out of the discussion of the meeting saying that there cannot be any discussions and tell there is an international body that investigates the killing of 12 which. he described the innocent protesters during the demonstration that happened over the weekend during that time we saw the security forces commandos antiterrorist commandos as they're described by the money and forces normally used to target armed forces or armed groups launched against protesters resulting in and 12 people dead and there will be. a mollusc. paid to them later on to here today but the fact that these the government launched such a heavy response towards the demonstration and towards the demonstrators has with

the angered the demonstrators and it is making good long jonathon's and the echo was mediation efforts even more complicated peter what does the delegation bring to the table i mean will they be able to deescalate this rumbling crisis. well they can only give recommendations so they've already given him nation before they arrived saying that there should be the judges of the constitutional court should be renamed and this is what president mubarak did he dissolved the constitutional court they've also recommended that there should perhaps be a new vote for these 30 members of parliament of the ruling party and these contested elections that happened back in april now the the ball is in iraq and we work our kate hours hand he has to decide what is the way forward and there is the heart of it peter is the lack of trust between the protesters and the

president the lack of trust because he was elected on the basis that he would create reforms to remember there was the algiers peace accord that were signed in 2015 that said to into motion steps for him. to change the constitution and the institutions of governance to give more power to local government and that was steps have been really slow to take he hasn't managed to move forward towards these algiers accord and it seems that at the heart of it is in this crisis that mali has has been on since 2012 when armed groups had to come forward just hours away from taking away but might go well it seems that that is the heart of it the fact that the if the government is unable to address deep issues within the institutions of government and that's what the protesters want to see they want to see

a prime mover care kate to leave but didn't change in the institution of mali that better represent their aspirations peter ok nic we have to leave it there nicholas hawke our correspondent there reporting live from santa go. 140 people missing in the worst floods to china in decades millions have been evacuated from their homes the damage from flooding is disruption the supply of medical equipment to fight coronavirus thousands of soldiers have joined the rescue operation. and across south asia monsoon rains have led to floods and landslides 221 people have died over the past month and more than a 1000000 have been stranded in the power bangladesh and india in indonesia rescue workers are looking for survivors on the island of civil way see after flash flooding killed at least 30 people landslides made hundreds of people homeless with thousands more affected lots of common in the area but a rise in the forestation is being blamed for making them worse. jenny joins us with the global weather forecast any sign of those seasonal rains beginning to

number of infections could be much higher because of insufficient testing. the u.s. has reported more than $70000.00 cases in 24 hours that's a new record despite that figure the governor of the u.s. state of georgia is suing the mayor of atlanta for making it mandatory to wear mosques in public. readers are meeting in brussels for the 1st time in months to negotiate a covert 19 recovery plan the rescue package costs near to $560000000000.00 the talk so far have ended in deadlock. ok let's get more on our top story the searching virus infection rate in india joining us here on the news are achieved a sculptor he's a professor at the center for social medicine and community health. near university he joins us on skype from new delhi. welcome to the new why are we seeing a lot of spots in certain regions and in certain cities now in india.

that's been the defining feature of right from the beginning when it was concentrated. in the key metropolitan areas also the international airports this was in a sense expected it continued to get entrenched in the very high density population locations in these metropolitan areas including some of the older parts of the city as well as some of the high density low income parts and as was expected particularly with the easing of the lockdown it put right is both in these metropolitan areas are large urban areas as well as the indian states that it was initially low but it was expected to grow and that's what for example the situation in bihar is as was shown in an earlier segment of this news are does that mean that where we are today with this new 1000000 figure represents an open health challenge

but that may spread to become a rural health challenge as well yes true don't entirely at least in this point it's largely in a 100 challenge the fact that the. national mission which was launched quite some time back didn't really grow as chained and as fast as it ought to have been is perhaps showing some. of the trouble comes here now as we as we see this unfolding but it's also true that now as it spreads its threats to increasingly in the rural majority states the health infrastructure in the rural areas is far weaker and attesting so valence contact tracing it's better i'm going to be bigger challenges the fact is that the open areas despite the challenge have been need reasonably well but

there have been ups and downs as for example it's progress significantly in the control has been significantly well particular in the last few weeks in delhi for example but wasn't it has been of concern in for example bangalore of ok just to interpret for us what you're talking about this so we're saying relatively the mortality rate has been quite low but as the virus and the infection rate travels perhaps turns a corner perhaps can the government sustain what it's been doing so far when it comes to treating people with covert 19. yes on the positive side clinical care capacities have increased and is true of all states of course it is it's also true that there have been deaths and illnesses among healthcare workers as among other print lang workers it's also true that there are challenges of subjective equipment how about overall the mortality rate in india and the

projected get spit out the theory that this has been pretty satisfactory one expected that it would have been worse is really the testing bets off some concern because there are many states which are testing certainly below the national average and it does wasn't due to reduced to pre-define which indeed a new range of benchmarks actually means that it's not perhaps appropriate for adequately easing up of the lockdown which of course is being reviewed published in certain parts and variably relaxed in others ok we'll leave it there professor test group to there in new delhi thanks for coming on and joining us here on the news hour thank you. british airways passengers have flown on the boeing 74 seventh's the final time as the coronavirus devastates travel to man the airline's entire fleet of 31 jumbo jets is being immediately retired 4 years earlier than planned

for the all. time to talk sport thank you very much a madrid have won the spanish league title for the 34th time a victory over very l.s.o.

them secure the championship but with a game to spare 2 goals from kevin benzema helped reality to 2 on victory. this one coming at their closest rivals barcelona and last i guess is the sooner we'll have won all 10 of their games his spanish football. team lifting in the trophy in an empty stadium old games are being held behind closed doors with no fast. food he's. been very happy 1st in total was phenomenal but this one's got a special feeling after being locked up at home for 2 months and then we came back and we prepared ourselves in a different way we managed to win the spanish league which in my opinion is the most difficult to win it but i think we did so successfully and that's based on you know a lot of sacrifices so look i don't know what to do now but i'm just very very happy here but i'm so with no supporters currently allowed in the stadium due to the pandemic fans that watch the rails trials and bars and cafes in the spanish capital

more than 300 police officers were present in the streets to discourage fans from gathering a large numbers due to the covert 19 protocols. well joining us now from madrid is ben haywood a spanish football correspondent for the u.k. newspaper the evening standard 1st of all ben it's the 34th title for real madrid how sweet of the traffic is this for them and also how's the atmosphere in the spanish capital. i think it's a very sweet tryout for the senate because you know about lerner donated a levee in recent years for him to tend to the place of course was allowed to have 18 hour cannot squarely winds up the last 11 that's now eat up the last well represented only 3 tried and champions in that time so even those that people outside still haven't been winning domestically as much as they would it might in recent years so i think that that's one special and also special because you don't

as an it in terms of the atmosphere here in between a little bit situated a fence watching me because half of the ballots you mention votes that are home and the stimulus fountain which is usually the savings and you know when fans and when it's called again after plot points it makes perfect that was boarded of and closed and the police were there last night and no fans were allowed so a little bit different because i'm a little bit you wouldn't necessarily have known last night if you were in the city where that clock is just one major trophy fans very happy watching largely on when you've mentioned earlier this victory is very special for us in a dingy than sealing this title does this then decay to his decision to return to the club. i think it 1000 so it is difficult to go back for a 2nd spell especially when you've been so successful but this time around when those 3 champions race in

a row it's called an active ball if it's you down in the clip that you post you know he's always saying that a leader is the toughest ones who win and in his last season before he left they finished to finish 17 points behind us when he saw that failure and come back and some wins and he got off to all the difficulties he's had in pre-season the last several games the last 735 minutes ago that didn't quite you know bring in the press and wanted in the transfer market some of signing in as a speeding ticket you know had a difficult time champ his way. go ahead it was a lot of finally and then he lost the banty's to tell him not down and it looks like maybe they've been fairly away getting back to come back with a different kind of attitude since the last down and as you mention here 10 victories in a row of and i think it definitely been the case the dance decision to come back to it and also the close decision to bring him back is well it's been successful. and

as even mentioned earlier barcelona have dominated many yeahs how is reales victory felt at new camp. i things are very nervous about student groups people also change coach in season starting and that's a very good day in january for me in good city and that's always going to be a look at this route to. haven't been as good as it previous seasons but it's absolute gain in a messy calling from corpus and so a criticism. of the very last of course through a series now and you know they just tell me good enough and you know even though it's been your disappointments over the last 2 seasons gives romana it's little they still winning and now we have to do that so and so change is probably needed and also they're not looking ahead now and each spanish football correspondent ben
