sneeze into your own. millions of people infected with corona virus in india and brazil again raising alarms about containing the pandemic in the developing world. hello again i'm come all sons of maria here in doha with the world news from al jazeera but when you wear a mask you have more respect mixed messaging in the u.s. the issue of where the mosque should be mandatory and public takes center stage. also we're on a security patrol in the philippines the country works to enforce coronavirus
7:01 pm
restrictions and an oasis of peace in libya how misrata holds out the promise for stability and growth with the violence all around. so india has become the 3rd country in the world after the u.s. and brazil to record more than a 1000000 confirmed corona virus infections in all 3 countries the pandemic has crippled health care systems economies and really people's daily lives india 1st of all with some states are now re imposing their restrictions after the lifting of the nationwide lockdown last month many concerns here that a lot of cases are going on reported because of a lack of testing infections in the u.s. have set another record more than 77000 in the past 24 hours the highest daily number recorded by any single country so far in total the u.s. has more than 3 and a half 1000000 cases and brazil of course which is say more than $2000000.00
7:02 pm
reported infections again reported once. hospitals there are almost a breaking point and president diabolus in our himself is currently under treatment for coping 19 after initially dismissing the virus as little more than a flu so we're going to talk latin america and brazil in a moment with our latin america editor this year newman she's in santiago starting though at the white house with kimberly how where a mosque don't wear a mosque we encourage you to wear a mosque we're not going to enforce you to where it is so confusing. so confusing all across the united states in the state we're really focusing on right now the u.s. state of georgia specifically its largest city there atlanta this is an example of what's happening all around the united states but now the governor of that state taking it one step further saying today that he urges all the residents in his state to wear a mask but at the same time he's not backing down
7:03 pm
a lawsuit he filed on thursday against the mayor of atlanta keesha last spot ups and what he's essentially saying is that we don't need a mandate such as been put in place by the mayor in atlanta in order to do the right thing he's accused her of being too restrictive over extending her authority so the bottom line in all of this a very confusing message if you want us to wear the mask or not is what many in his state are saying what he's trying to say is that essentially he supports wearing a mask but he doesn't believe that residents need to be forced to do so in order to do the right thing ok kimberly how cute with that update from the white house thank you kimberly let's talk about brazil now a latin america to see a new it is only seen you in wearing a mask we should point out on the streets of good that situation in brazil it just shows no sign of changing no sign of slowing down and as we said the man at the top the president himself has got it. yes he certainly
7:04 pm
does come out and you're absolutely right here you get arrested if you go out without a face mask but that's not the case in brazil or and certainly in most of the country where there have been no new measures put in place despite the fact that the country has just passed another unfortunate milestone now there are more than 2w2w1x5m to be exact confirmed infections in brazil and in fact it took 4 months for brazil to reach the $1000000.00 point of infections and less than a month to double that so that gives you an indication of just how quickly that the the virus is spreading throughout the country particularly to the more isolated places where health services are even less less able to deal with the infections and to prevent deaths from taking place now did number of people who have died so far are nearly 77000 between 1300 and the fat between 100-1000
7:05 pm
300 people per day are dying in brazil which is a very very high number indeed and as in the case of united states and other countries testing is very low so what is presumed by experts is that really the pandemic is spread much much further than what we even think at the moment thank you to see in human eye latin america and i said in santiago in europe e.u. leaders meeting in brussels for the 1st time in person at least to negotiate a coded 19 recovery plan or proposed $858000000000.00 rescue package is aimed at pulling the e.u. out of what could be its deepest recession ever talks last month ended in deadlock used for biggest economies that is germany france italy and spain all back the proposal while some of the countries don't. empower us now with more on the several sticking points that countries are trying to negotiate. clearly what we have here are divisions in the heart of the e.u.
7:06 pm
once again on one side you have countries like france and germany italy and spain who are pushing for a deal an agreement on the e.u. commission's proposed more than $800000000000.00 recovery fund for the european union on the other side you have some member states are simply not sure that they want to sign up to which some of the more fiscally conservative nations including austria sweden the netherlands and denmark who are worried that what they're going to be left with is sharing debt and they're not they're not comfortable with that they're worried that they're perhaps going to be sharing a little bit more than others when it comes to the way that all the money will be worked out the idea is that the e.u. commission would borrow this money off the financial markets and then distribute it amongst the member states grants loans according to their need of course all the economies in the european union have been severely battered by the coronavirus pandemic the question is how big should this fund be should it be as big as the one
7:07 pm
proposed by the commission some of the nations against it say that no they think it should be much smaller and how should this money be distributed as grants and loans or just as loans and also there are some members who are saying ok well if we go down this route and we do reach an agreement then perhaps when we are lending out this money has to be done with certain conditions so that certain countries would sign up for example to agree to reform their economies. india we mentioned a little bit earlier it's seeing a surge in the number of infections are the world's 3rd of worst affected a country with more than 25000 deaths and as such more states are imposing lockdowns again to contain the outbreak elizabeth purana reports from new delhi. municipal workers spray disinfectant in a neighborhood in siliguri one of many areas of the state of west bengal under lockdown from srinagar and indeed administered in the north to the poor and to self

around a 3rd of india's 1300000000 population are facing some lock down restrictions. while some places such as goa are only imposing a weekend lockdown india's 2nd most populous state be hard has ordered its nearly 130000000 residents to stay home for 2 weeks behind as one of india's poorest states health experts are concerned about how rural and less developed areas are handling the outbreak now as it spreads its verdict. in the rural majority states the health infrastructure in the rural areas is far weaker and attesting so reliant on backtrace to get better are going to be a bigger challenge india is seeing around $35000.00 new cases and 700 deaths every day even though it's testing more than 300000 people daily that still one of the
7:09 pm
world's lowest experts believe the actual number of infections could be much higher it's almost certainly underestimated and the question of what the number of underestimation the me feel that it might be underestimated by a factor maybe even between something like going to trinity so when the number of cases or to get them out if it crosses a 1000000 we're probably looking at something more like 20 to 30000000 in the population and maybe that number could be even but despite the rise in cases the indian government remains positive health minister harsh vardhan says india has performed better than any other country in fighting quoted 19 adding that only 2.5 percent of the factions have resulted in deaths but independent health experts say that number isn't actually not just because of india's low level of testing but the fact that most deaths in the country are medically certified elizabeth purana al-jazeera new delhi. the philippines governments and forcing partial coronavirus restrictions in manila for another 2 weeks are also set to reinstate stricter curbs

7:18 pm
