you have to be able to relate to the human in. the right way. because the light and it's my job to shed light on how and why. this is al-jazeera. $1800.00 g.m.t. here on al-jazeera i'm kemal santa maria and this is the news hour millions infected with corona virus in india and brazil and with hospitals a breaking point we're looking at the challenges faced by the developing world. but when you wear a mask you have more respect. but what about the mixed messaging in the united states politicians are still divided over the wearing of masks in public even as the country reports another record high number of cases.

also in the news anger in sudan over the government's sweeping legal reforms that include allowing non muslims to drink alcohol. and the u.s. defense secretary effectively banned the divisive confederate flag at military sites a move expected to increase tension with president on interim. transport for the world champion lewis hamilton is able to set a time in 2nd practice out of the hunger. heavy rain frustrating hamilton in budapest as ferrari's sebastian vettel goes quickest. more than 6 months now since the 1st cases were reported but the resurgence of corona virus is now such a real threat with some nations seeing their worst spikes yet india for example has become the 3rd country to record more than

a 1000000 cases infections spreading in the smaller rural areas where health systems are far weaker and some states are now re imposing their restrictions after the nationwide lockdown was lifted last month in brazil the hospitals are struggling to cope with what is the world's 2nd biggest outbreak and there are concerns there as there are in india as well and a lack of testing has left many infections on reported let's not forget also president diables unary himself continues to isolate after being infected and the u.s. has shattered yet another record with more than 77000 cases in a single day even with those numbers politicians remain divided over the orders to wear a face mask the governor of georgia is now urging residents to wear them a day after suing the mayor of atlanta over its mosque mandate so here's the tame. this hour. in paris to talk was through what the european union is trying to do to rebuild the economy there but we're starting with kimberly how at the white house

mosques kimberly's so it's still incredible to think about 77000 cases a day that this is a continuing issue. and make no mistake about it even though the governor of the u.s. state of georgia is suggesting people should wear a mask he's still defending his lawsuit against the atlanta mayor that is the largest city in his state who is mandating these mass and that is something the governor doesn't agree with as stick with me here because i know it's confusing but essentially what he's saying is no american wants to be forced to do something they'll just use common sense so well these city of atlanta is putting it a mandate that you must wear a mask when you go into a restaurant for example or if you just go about your business and this is something that the governor of that state does not support he says that the in his lawsuit that the mandate is too restrictive and the mayor exceeded her authority

well one of the top infectious disease specialist has weighed in on that saying that wearing a mask is just common sense i can say as a public health official that i would urge the leaders the local political and other leaders in states and cities and towns to be as forceful as possible in getting your citizen tree to wear masks masks are important as part of the physical distance physical distancing is the most important but practically when you're living your life and trying to open up the country you're going to come into contact with people and for that reason we know that masks are really important. a lot of other issues we can talk about kimberly but i've been focusing in on schools a lot because this is again something which affects so many people and again there's so much confusion and the pressure to go back to school seems to come from

the building behind you itself. that's right again polarization and politicize ation of the reopening of schools just as we've seen on the issue of mass where conservatives tend to lean towards making it a personal choice versus a mandate or seeing that when it comes to schools as well now the white house is saying that it will issue new guidelines on the reopening of schools the white house very can't have them opening because it helps the economy something donald trump is trying to bring back after went on life support following the shutdown student hope at night but many parents are saying we don't feel comfortable putting our kids back in classrooms until we know that there can be and is short of out of safety and right now as states across the united states 40 whatever 50 are seeing their cases of cope with $1000.00 surge many parents not having the comfort level they would like and they also have to point out the fact that the white house to say well look we could do online learning but many families are saying that simply

isn't an option for us so there's a lot of confusion as you point out again dr anthony fauci weighing in this one too saying of course we want kids to go back to school but at the same time we have to make sure it's a safe environment right now a lot of counties don't have that certainty can be how it gets in the white house thank you kimberly before we look at the situation in europe i want to bring in our last in america is here to see newman in santiago to talk through the situation 1st of all in brazil which i outlined earlier there is just so much bad news coming out of there and absolutely no sign of those numbers changing at all. hello kemal there is actually bad news and good news in brazil but bad news clearly is that brazil has now surpassed that rather worrisome milestone of tool 1000000 confirmed infections and perhaps what's most noteworthy about it is that it took

them 4 months to reach 1000000 infections in less than one month to double that number to more than 2000000 the president is himself confined at the moment because he has tested positive to call it but he says he is feeling absolutely fine unlike the nearly 77000 brazilians who have died so far from coal the dying teen it is it has been reduced the spread of the pandemic has been lowered in some places but in others it's continuing to rise particularly in places that have very very weak health public health systems and cannot cope with the infections and with the sick but the good news that i mentioned is that the w.h.o. has just come out to say that it believes that if that actions in brazil are no longer rising exponentially and exponentially is the key word here which they say would then present a unique and very much needed opportunity for brazil to try to get the pandemic under control so right now it's a kind of

a glass half full or half empty depending on how you want to look at maybe just a glimmer of hope there isn't it what do you tell us as well about chile. there in santiago you wearing a mask i see plenty of people behind you wearing them as well how how bad is the situation there because brazil tends to dominate the latin america picture. it's it certainly does because the population of brazil is 11 times larger than that of chile it is the largest country in the region but in actual fact chile has one of the most serious cases of a cold with 19 the highest death rate per 1000000 inhabitants of any other country in of any country rather in latin america the. well you see behind me are wearing face masks i am as well you can be arrested and fined for not doing so the good news in the case of chile is that according to the health minister the number of infections here in santiago has gone down significantly but it continues to be very very high in the north of chile and gas that. these are areas where that the

mining minister industry is very very strong and so that has actually cause the price of copper to go up for fear that the production of this metal will be affected people here are pressing very hard for the government to relax confinement measures we've been in quarantine now for months the people behind me have special permits in order to be outside for only 3 hours twice a week and so credibly some people are even trying to rent their neighbor's dogs because they say that would at least give them permission to go out and walk around a couple of times a day so there's a lot of pressure for this to be relaxed but there's no sign that that will happen anytime soon extraordinary times aren't they lucy newman is our lots in america and it's been some good so aside from the u.s. you can see we're looking at some developing countries here and the effect on those and that's what we spoke to all of historical about earlier he's a professor of international relations at from the vatican in brazil he says

neglect by the president there in the nationwide response has made finding the virus even harder. when you look at the number of deaths in brazil over $70000.00 and many many more per capita than than in other countries like argentina or peru which have taken a more scientific approach so i think that still makes a difference to flatten the curve in brazil i think there's an aggravating factor that because the president doesn't want to take responsibility he's basically saying i'm against social distancing measures in order to be able to blame the economic crisis 6 months or a year from now and those who have defended the social distancing measures and because he's minimizing the crisis i think a lot of brazilians are unaware of the risk and there's a big debate about whether you know the president has uncovered a potential conspiracy against him and cetera so the idea of you know of not having a minister of help in the midst of the crisis and this strategy of constant

minimization certainly makes commenting the crisis in brazil much more difficult than in other developing countries that have taken a more responsible approach focusing on india now which we mentioned earlier another rise in cases there in fact it is the 3rd worst affected country with more than 25000 deaths and as cases now surpassed 1000000 more states are imposing lockdowns to try to contain the outbreak has about piron and with this from you demi. municipal workers spray disinfectant in a neighborhood in filigree one of many areas of the state of west bengal under lockdown but she and i had an n.d. to minister to meet in the north to do an on the political dissent of 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. beyond is 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 testing 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 world's lowest experts believe the actual number of infections could be much higher it's almost certainly under the mint and the question of what the noble underestimation the let me feel that it may be underestimated by a factor of maybe even between something like going to 22 in the number of cases or to get the know 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 oh it's medically certified elizabeth purana al-jazeera new delhi. now back to europe we said that leaders were meeting in brussels for the 1st time in months to negotiate some sort of covenanting recovery plan a proposed $858000000000.00 rescue package is aimed at pulling the european union out of what could be its deepest ever recession talks last month ended in deadlock the east for biggest economies germany france italy and spain all backed the proposal but some other countries don't see keeping an eye on events as natasha

butler and paris for us i mean that just underlines the whole european project doesn't it they look for unity but there will always be these divisions amongst the member countries and there's so much at stake here. was very difficult isn't it when you've got 27 member states for all member states to be on the same page and degree and that is why we see these e.u. submits that tend to go on for several days when there is such a big issue on the table the big issue here is a recovery fund for europe the economies of being battered by the current affairs pandemic we're talking about a recovery fund of 800 $60000000000.00 u.s. dollars that's what's being proposed by the e.u. commission and the president that is supported by some countries including france and germany who say that this is a time to show solidarity it's a time of crisis it's a time to help some of the weaker member states member states that have been

weakened by this particular countries like italy and spain so badly affected by the covert 19 pandemic but on the other side you have so more fiscally conservative countries austria netherlands denmark sweden who are saying look we need to think about the size of this fund they're uncomfortable with the fact that the commission is going to be boring so much money off the financial markets they're worried about debts and they also worry about the way the money would be distributed whether it would be grants or loans so talks ongoing and expected to go on for quite a bit longer we heard earlier from the german chancellor as she arrived in brussels indicating that it could be very difficult to reach a deal. we're 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 were facing i expect negotiations to be very difficult. the french presence emanuel mark rohr when he arrived in brussels said that this was you know a moment for europe to really show ambition and in many respects what michael's been saying all along is that if europe fails to come together the e.u. fails to come together and sign off on this recovery plan then the very future of the e.u. could be a stake and what he means by that is if the e.u. fails some member states they feel like the use turned its back on them then this could fuel an anti e.u. sentiment in some of those countries and that of course could fuel or at least lead to the breakup of the european union in the future as people just simply feel fed up with the whole project and that is why micro merkel and many other countries many other leaders are saying that this is a time of crisis there's a lot of stake here we need to back this plan. in paris thank you. we are around

a quarter past the hour here's what's coming up tributes paid to 2 protesters who died last week in mali as regional leaders try to mediate a growing political crisis also a suspect in a major mexico criminal investigation is brought back to the country to face charges we'll have an update from mexico city and in sports what is the olympic president have to say about the prospect of fans being able to attend next year's tokyo games. sudan 1st of all where police fired tear gas to disperse demonstrators who are opposed to legal reforms made by the government hundreds of protesters rallied outside the great mosque in the car to. justice minister announced on sunday the easing of sharia based laws to protect human rights among the reforms the decriminalizing of apostasy and the sale of alcohol to non muslims also flogging

will no longer be used as a punishment we're going to talk to freelance journalist mohammed made about this now he's on skype from. mohammed 1st of all why is the government making these changes now. you know it's actually the. needed of the mission. needed in sudan and it's part of the demands of the ousted president bashir in. 2000 mind because. the majority of the. 4 freedoms. especially you know the woman. from many districted knows that in the era of including the indecent this woman and other other parts in the.

government is now demanding but all of the demands of the revolution it's been on the streets and you know that there were. protests nationwide protests in sudan in june. by ministers. to implement the demands of the revolution including the formation so this so permission to be go there because. many because of the all the. best and i know how to be adjusted with. clarity and that's all in the country and i will be down here it will have to be done in a very measured way if you're going to for example introduce alcohol for muslims it will have to be i suspect tightly regulated or tightly controlled. yes this is actually one of the one of the controversial things that within the laws i mean

amended because. they have bought those no actually allow. for the and then muslims for the sunnis not muslims but it's got to be a company actually is income by as it goes. you cannot i mean once you allow them in muslims to. that means you allow the consumption of alcohol in the country that member who are good for our own said to ears so and that includes including maybe open in the box imported from outside the company so. identified they're muslims from non muslims who want to and this is also there's another issue among the activists and normalise defendants that it's a kind of discrimination as well that you are not allow they're not muslims to do some sin and or to give them. the others because it's supposed to be on the basis

of the citizenship of the entire sudanese not the one believe us based on mohamed we're just we've been looking at pictures of the protests do you think they will keep going on for some time obviously the government's trying to. things down it wants to close most people are gathering to protest there do you think the protests will carry on. i think they are the i mean they are some group of some groups of islamists and supporters of the of the of the all of the present moment but here. they will continue because it's actually. the motivation of this but this is something i've heard about and so i don't think they were going to stop but the government since yesterday they import some descriptions actually they grows of bridges between. the cities of of the bigger come to me. and my mom mung among deployment of security

or guns and an army in the streets but i don't think that i'm going to stop i think it's these kind of things have to be sold soon the democratic process itself so. done now there is no legislative assembly i mean it's part of the it's part of the of the of the evolution of the government they mean. is. establish the transitional bottom and this bottle of it was going to go indoors on bars or at least goes into the transitional constitution and i think that a moment that's have to be the way out for forest of lies in this amendment to be to be really sort she adopted in the country and al-ameen after it is joining us from khartoum thank you so much for your time. meanwhile a memorial service has been held in mali for victims of last week's violence their ceremony took place at a mosque run by the influential cleric dicko who has been leading the

anti-government protests 11 people were killed and nearly 200 injured in 3 days of unrest also members of the west african bloc eco us are in mali to mediate the escalating political crisis between the ruling party and the opposition the day that the delegations met with what is known as the june 5 movement it is led by mahmoud decode supporters of that protest movement want president abraham book allocated to resign they say he's been unable to solve mollies security and economic problems to have hated some of the demands he promised to form a national unity government and to dissolve the constitutional court these demonstrations began last month over the outcome of parliamentary polls held earlier in the more now from nicholas hawkins following developments from dakar in neighboring senegal and he says the government is really under pressure to launch an investigation into the protests deaths. 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 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 last night good luck jonathan as well as the experts that met with leading members of the protest movement the and 5 as they were called and one of its leaders 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 what he

described innocent protesters during the demonstration that happened over the weekend during that time we saw the security forces commandos antiterrorist commandos as they were described by the money and forces normally used to target armed forces or armed groups launched against protesters resulting in and 12 people dead. prince mohammed bin ziad is being investigated for his complicity in torture in yemen according to the agency a french judge is looking into crimes perpetrated in yemeni prisons by iraqi forces the proceedings name mohammed ziad as the commander in chief of the u.a.e. forces this investigation began 29. after months of protests against racism in the united states the defense secretary has issued a policy which effectively bans the confederate flag at american military sites has

told military commanders that only flags that treat all people with dignity and respect can be flown on installations this is a decision that could increase tension between esper and president donald trump trump has cited free speech rights in his defense of americans who do fly the confederate flag might can a following the story from washington d.c. now might this thing the wording is interesting here because it doesn't seem to say no confederate flags it says these are the flags which we will allow. ok mike if you can hear me unfortunately i can't hear you so i'm going to leave you there just for now we have got someone else to talk to about this story and that is lawrence korb he is a former assistant secretary of defense now senior fellow at the center for american progress he's in alexandria virginia. first of all i should maybe i'll ask

the same question that i was asking to mike you the wording is interesting here isn't it the way it's saying it's not that we're banning the flag we're saying here the ones which we say are ok. yeah there's no doubt about the fact going to have spurs trying to have a holes where these can be uniformed military particularly the close to 20 percent of the african-americans who serve new york want him to get rid of this as you mentioned the president wants to keep it so he's using terms you know flags that you know don't convey our values and things like that but we already saw what happened when they ask or are there racecar drivers bandit comparer blank truck got all upset about that so you can imagine what he would do when it comes to someplace where he's the commander in chief i'm going to have direct control so i'm glad you mentioned the nascar thing because that was certainly isn't outside of myself and i

think for a lot of people around the world that's the place where we've seen it in the south at places like the nascar races and things that that why would confederate flags be flying on military bases in the 1st place and what form would they take well basically you've got to remember that a lot particularly army bases are named day after veteran generals one rank forecourt in port for example and so basically people don't think well since it's named after the general i can fly the flag here it's not at private gatherings or sometimes at a funeral for a man or a woman who obviously you know from the south now it's not official but they don't ban it people can do it if they want just looking at some pictures from mississippi an early july showing the flag coming down there of course they've taken the decision to remove the confederate symbol from their flag i mean that was a big step then you add in what marcus spends doing now even if as you say he's

trying to have it both ways there is a movement here. well there's no doubt about it because of the horrible events in minneapolis with the killing of george lloyd the whole question of how we treat african americans has risen to the war and even many people who are not african-american to say you know we've got to do something and then people say well he does something else has been going on for years i mean can you imagine if you're an african-american soldier in your ward branch you know at a base that's named after someone who was fighting to kill your ancestors would be you know in slavery so i think that that has been swept under the rug but now these people are saying wait a 2nd and in addition to that they're also talking about the fact that african-americans and other minorities while they comprise a lot of the enlisted or so not you know as many generals and admirals as they

should. do you think this will extend to you mentioned the bases which unnamed to confederate natives and there is a movement again to try to get those renamed do you think you could move as far as that because again another thing which donald trump said we will not have these renamed. well again i think it's really to ask for whether he's willing to put his job on the lot because of his a secretary of defense and he does not and then the president all will wolf president will pay a tremendous political political price but on to now obviously has not been like the program just you know secretary sweet time war who have defied the president when it comes to you know doing something like for example the secretary of the navy didn't like it when a client on any gallagher they see a little information we had committed committed murder so he got he got fired so i think it will be very hard for trump in an election new york to fire the secretary

you don't have time to get another one so i think if asked 1st worried about his place in history he should really just go full you know full on extreme ahead on this particular you know he say you know a military academy graduate or need certain they are not in scope it's always a pleasure talking to really interesting thank you for joining us thank you for having me take care and stay well well you too 3 white americans accused of shooting dead a black man while he was out jogging of pleaded not guilty to murder a judge in georgia has not denied them a security bond to be released on bail george mcmichael his son travis the neighbor william bryan they're all facing 9 charges in all 25 year old was killed in georgia in february but it wasn't until may that police actually made the arrests that was because visit video of the shooting a went viral and sparked outrage. so we have you on this news hour. nicolas cage at sydney's asylum seekers center looking at how many people are struggling to

cope during the global pandemic after being left out of government support package is. also an oasis of peace in libya misrata holds out the promise for stability and growth to meet the violence or around its main sport leo messi says it's time to change both alone after the cubs. win the spanish league and he is here with a little later. hello there yes more hot and dry weather throughout much of the middle east but to the south it is a bit of a different story lots of history being towards these coastal areas of oman and sure enough the rain is coming in with that area of low pressure in fact at times this rain that a very widespread but also really quite heavy we could have some localized flash

floods to the south of there wanted to showers across into yemen but the system is on its way but meanwhile on saturday the winds are fairly light not as much sun's and sometimes as not quite as high however on sunday it has changed 50 celsius in baghdad the winds are stronger 48 and in fact the temperature is lower in doha but that could also make things feel a lot more humid that rain will begin to push away from amman in the south and work its way across into yemen so again here we could have some localized flash flooding then down into southern africa most secure a fine across into south africa we want to see more showers continuing to impact these eastern areas of madagascar and a very strong. these rains really pushing up into mozambique but also across towards involve way and you'll see the direction of the arrows in those showers they will take those showers all the way up towards the coast of somalia meanwhile very heavy rain across central areas the gulf of guinea and then to the fall south cooler imports elizabeth.

this is the news hour from al-jazeera these are the top stories the number of coronavirus cases in india has surpassed the 1000000 mark 125000 people have died and there are fears the actual number could be much higher because of insufficient testing a year leaders are 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 so far have ended in deadlock. and after months of protests against racism in the us to. secretaries issued a policy which effectively bans the confederate flag at american military sites the

decision could increase tension between president donald trump. to mexico where the former boss of the state run oil company's been taken to hospital just as soon as his extradition flight from spain landed and is due in court to answer corruption bribery and money laundering charges from the time when he was chief executive of the company and he was also a close aide of the former president in the pena nieto whose administration was linked to the opiate addict scandal which was the largest kickback scandal in south america so let's talk to mom in mexico city any update on his condition because i heard it described is it was it general unwellness or something very generic like that. there was quite a bit of anticipation on the arrival of a media mexican territory following that extradition flight bound from spain that arrived here in mexico city somewhere around 600 hours local time he was

transferred directly from the airport to a medical a private medical center here in mexico city come all as you mentioned describing a general weakness the doctor that saw him say that he displayed symptoms of anemia that's about all we know at the moment in terms of the news of his hospitalization but of course this is big news here in mexico space precisely because as you mentioned this is linked to one of the biggest corruption scandals if not the largest political corruption scandal in latin america. a former chief executive of pemex mexico's a privately state owned oil company he is in simple terms accused of money laundering cuse accused of bribery and and he was due in court at noon today unfortunately that is a closed door meetings official officials here saying that that due to the pandemic this would be closed to the press but that's about as much as we know so far it is

big news considering that this is tied directly to as you mentioned the outbreak scandal is this sort of corruption or corruption in the past something which the current leadership in mexico has really made a point out and says we're going to go off to this. we heard specifically from the president on the disciplinary lopez obrador during his morning press conference early on friday to talk about the list so a case to talk about the order. as one where over the course of several months and through 3 different continents dozens of high level government officials were prosecuted were sent to jail. directly related to the older brick scandal including a former president but that didn't happen here the president of mexico says that impunity in the country protected guilty parties in the country president look at what other also said earlier today that he believes that this case specifically is important for quote continuing to cleanse the country of corruption but again due in court at noon an hour ago closed to the press but it is reported that already

struck a deal with prosecutors to turn over audio visual evidence of high level mexican officials receiving bribes so there is an expectation here in mexico that for the 1st time since the since the scandal began we may see a political firestorm play out here in mexico stuff thank you men will drop in mexico city beijing says u.s. officials of court lost their minds and gone mad in their attacks on china the sharp words are in response to reports the white house is considering a travel ban against members of the chinese communist party. i mean nobody in the united states has come out to officially clarify whether this is fake news or not but i think if this report is true then they are brazenly choosing to set themselves against 1400000000 chinese people brazenly standing in opposition to the chinese people who make up one 5th of the world's population this is totally

against the wishes of the people of both the united states and china. the united nations is demanding an international investigation into the disappearance of a libyan politician and women's rights defender rights groups say get over was violently abducted from her home by forces loyal to wall attorney for half a year ago she is an m.p. in the alternative eastern parliament which is backed by half but she had also been critical of his military operations turkey's president. obama's criticize the u.a.e. and egypt for their role in supporting hafter egypt's president. threatened to arm tribal leaders who back after their says that's illegal sisi has said his country would support half his forces if tripoli's government and its turkish allies renewed their assault on the city of sirte. the steps taken by egypt in libya and its support to half sure that egypt is entering an illegal

approach also the without the government in particular is behaving like a pirate to supporting the coup with large quantities of money and this indicates the position of the 2 countries in libya there is the illegitimate government on one hand and on the other hand there is their school regime. or while most libyans deal with the violence of this war there is one city which has found some relative stability allowing the local economy there to thrive it is the mediterranean city of misrata east of tripoli but the reputation of being the safest place in libya is reporters from the trainer these aren't the kind of images which 1st come to mind when people think about libya. most western countries advise their citizens to stay away because of fighting and insecurity but medics who see says the city of misrata is unlike anywhere else in the country and is regarded as the safest city he rents
