it's been a better life but it won't cost. 11 least investigate it's just. millions infected with corona virus in india and brazil with alice was at breaking point we look at the challenges faced by the developing world. when you wear a mask you have more respect but mixed messages from the u.s. which is reported in another record high number of infections the politicians are still divided over the wearing of masks in public. life in doha and kemal santamaria with the world news from al-jazeera regional leaders are trying to mediate in mali stiffening political crisis as tributes are

paid to those who died in recent protests and the u.s. defense secretary bans the divisive confederate flag at military sites a move expected to increase tension with the president on trial. for the 6 months after the 1st cases were reported on the resurgence of coronaviruses now a real threat india has become the 3rd country to record more than a 1000000 cases infections are spreading in smaller towns with weaker health systems in some states and are imposing restrictions hospitals in brazil are struggling to cope with the world's 2nd biggest operate president diable sonora himself continues to isolate after being infected and the u.s. is shattered yet another record with more than $77000.00 cases in a single day georgia's governor is now urging residents to wear masks a day after suing the mayor of atlanta over its mosque mandate kimberly how could

at the white house i can play incredible to think 77000 new cases in a day and there is still a debate over whether you should wear a mask and whether it should be enforced or not. in short there are many americans that just don't like to be told what to do and that is the crux of the argument by the republican governor in the us state of georgia and his lawsuit toward the mayor of atlanta the largest city in that state what brian camp is saying is that residents in georgia don't need to be told what to do in order to do the right thing so he's confused many by urging them to wear a mask but at the same time accusing bottoms the mayor of going too far of over extending her authority that's left very many people confused not just in georgia but all around the united states we're trying to cut through all of the chaos and confusion with a little clarity is dr anthony fauci he is of course the top infectious disease

specialist in the united states a member of the coronavirus task force he's just weighed in in the last hour or so saying that he urges all local political leaders to be as forceful as possible that one would assume would include mandating a mass is mass are important for everyone and everyone should be using them so weighing in trying to bring about clarity even as many politicians are sending mixed messages including some would argue the u.s. president let's talk about school kimberly because that's another very important topic for so many americans are questions over whether the children will go back to school in the next term but the pressure from the white house actually for schools to reopen even as i pointed out before there are still these record breaking number of cases every day. and this is a lot to do with the economy because the schools are open people are spending money at restaurants and except this is

a big driver of an economy that is in really rough shape here in the united states by all metrics and this is something the u.s. president had hoped previously or for covert 19 heads would allow him to cruise through to easy reelection no longer the case in fact whole numbers seem to show that the president in his approval rating when it comes to having this crisis of covert 19 just gets worse and worse the latest about 60 percent disapproving when it comes to schools the white house has been saying as recently as today through kellyanne conway the counselor to the president there will be new guidance on how to reopen schools but dr anthony found she again weighing in on this one saying that you know it is important to get kids back to school but it has to happen safely and right now we're seeing how most 40 of the 50 us states i believe the number is 41 seeing sharp increases in covert nike teen cases that's means it's not safe for a lot of these schools to go back and even though the president is pressuring it

many local leaders are saying we're just not going to do it and that has also caused confusion in the united states as well confusion everywhere isn't it kimberly how could a white house correspondent thank you mentioned india before which is seeing a surge in the number of infections it is the world's 3rd worst affected country with more than 25000 deaths and most states now imposing infant reimposing lockdowns to contain the outbreak miserable purana reports from new delhi. municipal workers spray disinfectant in a neighborhood in sydney one of many areas of the state of west bengal on to knock down i'm sure you know had an indeed administered need in the north to do enough to put him in the south around a 3rd of india's 1300000000 population are facing some restrictions. while some places such as goa are only imposing a weekend lockdown india's 2nd most populous state be hot 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 the 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 of india 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 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 noble of underestimation the google 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 oh if it crosses

a 1000000 you'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 out to medically certified elizabeth for autumn al-jazeera new delhi. the number of reported infections in brazil has now surpassed 2000000 with 75000 deaths last in america at a certain say newman is in santiago with more details on what's going on in brazil . 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

$22015000.00 to be exact confirmed infections in brazil and in fact it took 4 months for brazil to reach the 1000000 point of infections and less than a month to double that so that gives you an indication of just how quickly that the virus is spreading throughout the country particularly to the more isolated places where health services are even less. able to deal with the infections and to prevent deaths from taking place now a good number of people who have died so far are nearly 77000 between 1300 and between a 1000 or 1300 people per day are dying in brazil which is a very very high number indeed and as in the case of the 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. meeting

in brussels for the 1st time in months to negotiate a covert $1000.00 recovery plan a proposed $858000000000.00 rescue package is aimed at pulling the e.u. out of what could be its deepest ever recession talks last month ended in deadlock you've got the biggest economies germany france italy and spain all backing the proposal but the countries. in paris she has more on these sticking points that countries are trying to negotiate. clearly what we have here are divisions in the heart of the e.u. 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 is amongst the member states grants loans according to their need of course all the economies in the european union have been severely impacted by the coronavirus pandemic the question is how big should this fund be should it be as big as the one 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

leaders meeting in brussels for the 1st time in months to negotiate a covert recovery plan the rescue package costs close to $860000000000.00 the talks of so far into deadlock. the governor of the u.s. state of georgia is urging people to wear a mask for 4 weeks to help stop the spread of coronavirus but he says he won't support making it mandatory because that is on and forcible the u.s. has reported more than $70000.00 cases in 24 hours another new record. hospitals in brazil struggling to cope with the world's 2nd biggest outbreak there are concerns a lack of testing is that many infections unreported india has also become the 3rd country to record more than a 1000000 cats. after months of protests against racism in the united states the defense secretary is issued a policy banning the confederate flag at american military sites this is coming from the reuters news agency which is reporting it's seen a copy of a memo from markets authorizing only certain flags that promote unity of the

decision could increase tension between a spend president trump president trump has cited free speech rights and his defense of americans who do want to fly the confederate flag mike hanna in washington with more on this one so if this memo is to be believed authorizing only certain flags that promote unity so that's perhaps not explicitly saying no confederate flags but very much implied. that's correct the secretary of defense is walking a very fine line between immense pressure from the military which wants to get rid of confederate flags across all of its institutions and from the president who continues to support the display of the confederate flag insisting that it is a freedom of speech action so what marcus has done is walk this fine line but instead of saying what is not allowed saying that these are the only flags that are permitted to be flown on u.s. military installations he then lists each of these flags which obviously ranges

from the stars and stripes to various division or flags flags of allies in suitable circumstances so this is mark spitz solution to what is a potentially dangerous issue with the president who continues to press for the return of the confederate flag full whoever wants to fly it the bases themselves there was an issue about those being renamed in a push from think it was elizabeth warren over wanting to get some of those renamed . well indeed yes it's more than that the senate armed services committee controlled by republicans last month decided that it would appoint a committee to look at the issue of base names for example throughout the military president trump and mediately responded to that saying that he would veto any such legislation that came out now for example the committee was looking at installations like for toward fort benning fort worth all of these related to

confederate figures they want to change the names of these bases president trump insistent that this will not happen but it goes even further than that there are 2 aircraft carriers for example the u.s.s. cole vinson the u.s.s. john c. stennis now both of these carriers are named after republican lawmakers who advocated segregation so the navy once again is looking at altering the names of these john c. stennis for example is a ship that i've been on it's referred to as the sailors as johnny rare but that is a nickname that was given to confederate soldiers so this is an issue that goes far beyond the confederate flag it is an issue in which the military itself is attempting to rectify a situation that has built up over decades here very deep seated stuff might hang around washington thank you for that 3 white americans accused of shooting dead a black man while he was out jogging have pleaded not guilty to murder george michael his son travis and their neighbor william bryan

a facing 9 charges in all 25 year old was killed in georgia in february but it was until may that police actually made the arrests that was after video of the shooting went viral and sparked outrage. in the united states the rate of street crime is usually high at this time of year during summer this year though it's been much worse with hundreds shot or killed some say there are just few offices because of the pandemic others blame extra deployments to protests over the killing of george floyd john hendren looks at all of that from chicago 7 year old natalia wallace was gunned down when a group of men opened fire at an independence day party one of 27 people killed in more than 100 others shot over the past 2 weekends in chicago. it's broken you can also see it's broken again. we've got a tad of the damage turned up in atlanta an 8 year old girl was gunned down the same day enough isn't. in brooklyn on monday 10 people were injured and
