states in india which has become the 3rd country to record more than a 1000000 confirms kovan 1000 cases the other 2 are brazil which has now more than 2000000 confirmed cases including its president john you're both so narrow and over 76000 debts and the us that's where more than 3600000 p. people have been infected 77 thousands of them in just the last day and nearly one 139000 people have died including 948 reported on thursday so the top infectious disease expert in the u.s. has warned the country could reach 100000 new corona virus infections a day that's if it doesn't embrace stricter containment measures dr anthony fauci says local leaders should be as forceful as possible on encouraging the public to wear masks u.s. policymakers continue to debate the subject with face coverings only mandatory and $26.00 out of the 50 states i can say is
12:03 am
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 citizenry 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 well georgia's governor is now urging people in his state to wear them but he refuses to back down on his ban on local authorities making masks mandatory in public now i know that many well intentioned and well informed georgians want to mass mandate and while we all agree that wearing a mask is effective i'm confident the georgians don't need a mandate to do the right thing let's cross over to washington d.c.
12:04 am
and speak to our correspondent mike hanna and with such big numbers of cases being reported every day mike it might be surprising to some that masks are still such an issue there. all right apologies we seem to have lost our connection to my condo in washington d.c. but we'll tell you about what's going on in brazil because the world health organization is saying that the country is infection rate appears to have plateaued and it should seize the opportunity to drive down transmission the w h o's emergencies program head says the country needs a sustained concerted action to get control of the virus brazil is the epicenter of the virus and latin america and its reporting at least $40000.00 new cases per day but again an update from our latin america editor in the sea and newman joining us from santiago it's not good news that it's reporting 40000 cases a day but i suppose the good news if we can say that is the infection rate has plateaued. but you know it really depends on how you look at it it's the
12:05 am
proverbial glass half full or half empty more where this. information that was just put out by the w.h.o. coincides with the report that they are now more than 2000000 infections in brazil that means that they have gone from 1000004 that was accumulated over a 4 month period to double that in just one month so that is a huge number it's true that many of the largest cities like rio de janeiro and sao paulo are seeing far fewer infections and far fewer deaths but the infections and the deaths have spread to other parts of the country and many of those places have far weaker public health systems and hospitals to deal with critical care patients or rather that cannot deal with critical patients care patients as well so what are the things that the w.h.o. pointed out is that there is not an exponential rise of new infections but the government has to bring the contagion under control very quickly otherwise all this
12:06 am
will mean very very little that it can just. explode out of control just as easily as as it did just a few we. so ago and over in chile where you are a strict measures have been put in place are people hearing to the lock down there . the lockdown has been in place now for months and in some places for as long as 4 months people are getting very very tired of it and what's happened is that the fiction rate in the death rate in chile is so high that officials are taking much more. for measures putting people in prison fines that are increasingly for anybody who breaks quarantine wearing a face mask in public is mandatory absolutely everywhere those who don't are punished severely and so it is working somewhat but again the the social pandemic
12:07 am
the unemployment rate the number of people who have nothing to eat anymore and who are forced to go out of the house even to go to soup kitchens is increasing also exponentially so unless they the traceability of the virus is put under control very quickly it's going to be very very difficult indeed to get to new to oppose this florentine all right to see a newman thank you for that reporting from santiago. most cases rise in more states are now reimposing lockdowns to try to contain the outbreak and there are fears the real number of infections and deaths in india is actually far higher than those records elizabeth purana reports from new delhi. municipal workers spray disinfectant in a neighborhood in citigroup one of many areas of the state of west bank ball under lockdown i'm sure you know that an indeed administered in the north to the polluted been to south around a 3rd of india's 1300000000 population of facing some restrictions. while some

12:09 am
underestimation the google me feel that it might be underestimated by a factor maybe even between something like the tree so 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 larger despite the rise in cases the indian government remains positive health minister hoshyar then 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 and medically certified elizabeth for autumn al-jazeera new delhi. new restrictions have come into force in israel because of a surge in corona virus infections public places like malls and tourist sites will be closed on weekends government offices were also because of the public and there are limits on social gatherings both indoors and outdoors prime minister benjamin

12:12 am
including the netherlands worry about shared debt they prefer loans with conditions rather than grants. what is very important to us is that countries are reform and if they want grants on top of loans something we don't want actually then you have to nail down very hard guarantees that reforms will be carried through part for the french president emmanuel macro leaders to show solidarity. so here we are at this very particular european summit the 1st to be held physically since the start of the coronavirus crisis and one that will be entirely dedicated to the european recovery plan and the budget for the coming years this is a moment of truth and ambition for europe mike ross says a failure by the e.u. to unite and help member states at a time of crisis could feel anti e.u. sentiment in the block and jeopardize its future the talks are expected to continue for most of saturday but with so many differences and so much at stake leaders may

12:14 am
a pandemic within the country as the group movement against rape and sexual assault visited the national assembly in june all 36 nigerian states declared a state of emergency on rape and sexual violence that speaks of doctors an option coffey the 1st lady of nigeria's kebbi states she's also a pediatric consultant on the founder of the medicaid cancer foundation she joins us live from cabbie thanks very much for your time with us on al-jazeera so since that declaration of a state of emergency last month by all 36 states what's changed the situation improved for women. very much like you said the sense of the majesty was 1st one by the schooner fire stuff down from near thunder sun the boonies in the loft down both was a lot of economic issues and a lot of health issues and one of which was the suspension sequim about an increased sense of self centered big violence rape of women in all parts of the
12:15 am
country a sense of the majesty was the correct and there had been a lot of accidents like because all societies by governments all the various governments are to discern selective mesa and the exact government as governor's wife the 1st ladies have formed a coalition which has acted a lot and i hope you see this through. a senate general of the sexes in chester sets up a caste or i'd like you just my son to. give east even a focus a group are the laws especially the bottom part where we have a lot of cultural issues that overlap with. frankly the role is. to pass laws have fast sex coming around and the last secretary remain actually great and always as well from the violence as in some states like mine or b.c. past the high public sector lol that is the south of a frenzy for on what i see the right temple maybe
12:16 am
a little lower let me just jump in there for a moment speaking of the law i mean is part of the problem that nigeria has very low conviction rates for rape cases and and that in fact is what is contributing to gender based violence so there's really no accountability. michael is not the only country that has a low. memory it's really you know i know as a medical person going back through because apart from the fact that now i realize that all in all because. i mean where is where you have a social and i see i see a cultural impact there's a cultural side there ironically the women who report will gladly present our own race come here problem even in countries where there are laws. it's very difficult that conflict started ironically 3 but i do agree with you that that is difficult to pass. along how when we do not exactly just the north 2nd

12:19 am
thank you very much dr zane option coffee by going over the speaking to us when i was there a thank you and some of these prime minister has apologized for what he described as excesses by security forces who opened fire on anti-government protesters last week members of the west african bloc eko us are in mali to mediate the escalating political crisis between the governing party and the opposition but protesters insist that president to bring boubacar kaita must resign nicolas hogg reports from neighboring senegal. prayers for the dead 15 year old isa my god died from a bullet in the head when security forces stormed the influential muslim cleric mosque in bamako outside 27 year old how is he was walking home when a stray bullet struck her in the stomach is it to you said that a bout of the way they were killed was barbaric they were shot at close range some in the head others in the belly the attack was gruesome and we have many severely injured and the. prime minister. and is calling for an investigation after
12:20 am
at least 12 protesters were killed when a commando unit fired live rounds against demonstrators protesting against the president last week and this i am hopeful that this political process will lead us to a solution and the way out of the crisis is for the wellbeing of older people of mali but despite mediation efforts from the west african body ecowas led by former nigerian president goodluck jonathan the nationwide civil disobedience movement to the demonstrators who call themselves the m 5 movement want president mubarak to resign and be duly elected national assembly dissolved. and they. will want to solve the problems but indeed was elected. we. but it appears the crisis is deepening while the president calls for
12:21 am
a national unity government the m 5 movement want a transitional government that would strip kate of his powers accuses the president of abuse of powers and naming family members and friends to keep positions without oversight this video circulating on social media of the president's son an elected m.p. on a luxury holiday has caused uproar among the millions of of whom depend on humanitarian aid for food while millions continue to flee the ongoing conflict involving al qaeda and islamic state affiliates protesters say the death should not go in vain promising more actions ahead. continues to spread they say the future of mali is at stake because hawk al jazeera police in sudan have fired tear gas at demonstrators opposed to a change in law allowing non muslims to drink alcohol hundreds of protesters rallied outside the great mosque in the capital khartoum the government ordered the
12:22 am
closure of major mosques and 3 other cities to stop similar demonstrations bring in alderney young he's an assistant professor of african-american studies at u.c.l.a. is joining us from washington thanks for your time with us on this is just one reform of course in a series of reforms that the government is undertaking at the protest organizers are saying that the amendments are an imposition of secular laws because of external pressure. to what extent is this about sudan wanting to boost its international standing or is it fulfilling the demands of the revolution. i think it's a little bit of both daryn i think in many ways. the sudanese minister of justice is correct that this is supporting sudan's basic rights unlawful for instance getting rid of the laws on apostasy. banning female genital mutilation these are laws are long been a way to reducing guardianship but there is an element in which this is also
12:23 am
appealing to the international community particularly the united states which has long and besides the idea that sudan these from prove that a religious freedom and tolerance particularly for minority and christian religion how much of a sort of a delicate balancing act is this going to be for the government after all saddam has been governed for decades under a law during the bashir era i think the government finds itself an finds itself in a really tricky position because you know i don't 30 if we saw a big demonstrations and protests again looking for things like security service reform and looking for the implementation of most of the legislative council and civilian governors in the provinces and those demands have been largely ignored and demand for accountability for the violence against protesters have been largely ignored but then on the other side these kind of reforms while popular are part of the population and make the islamist islamic community very upset part of the is dismissed community very upset when she brings me to my next question in fact i
12:24 am
mean how much influence do the the islamic groups and supporters of the ousted president on one of bashir who are reportedly coming out in these protests how much influence do they still wield in sudan. i think there's still a significant force but i'm by no means do i think that they were the largest force in the country and i think for many people in the country things like reducing out the whole are. not a significant issue actually for most of the population which is facing severe economic hardship and in trying to. implement the peace process in places like darfur what about where you see this going next there will these protests continue will they have a momentum. i think they will continue for a little while but i don't think that they will have significant momentum going for it i think. that the majority of the sunni population probably understands that this is something that needed to happen but at the same time i think there is
12:25 am
significant pushback on the idea that these imposition of these laws were imposed with significant outside pressure right album young thank you for speaking to us on al-jazeera thank you again for having me. on identified body has been left drifting in a dinghy in international waters within the libya search and rescue zone for almost 3 weeks and that's despite 3 requests from the rescue group c. watch for the libyan italian or maltese authorities to retrieve that body see watch told al jazeera the author already has are yet to clarify if any other passengers were on board an estimated 400 people have died trying to cross from africa to europe this year on the 29th of june 2020 and $1.00 of the missions with our economics aircraft siebert we found a dead body trapped in the remnants of a half song about we don't know what happened there and especially what happened to the other people who were on that rubber boat so we request that the retrieval of

successful in slowing the spread of the virus but some experts say the country is lagging behind some of its asian counterparts and its response has been heavy handed and focused on using fear to fight a pandemic jim duggan al jazeera manila the u.k. prime minister boris johnson has outlined his plan for england to return to normality saying employers will have more discretion to bring stuff back to workplaces from next month that's the spyder advice from his trial chief scientific adviser saying there's absolutely no reason to change the work from home guidance so go has more from london. friday in the middle of july in central london and you usually see this place thronging with people not just the people working in offices nearby but also with visitors tourists from of the country but of course these are anything but normal times the prime minister boris johnson is
12:34 am
under the gun to try and provide some kind of roadmap to normality of course a lot of that rests on how people can go back to working they can stay working from home or where they can work from their offices or other workplaces and the prime minister has made it clear that he's leaving that decision up to the employers. from the 1st of all this we will update our advice on going to work. instead of government telling people to work from. we're going to give employers more discretion and ask them to make decisions about how they're staff who work safely that could mean of course continuing to work from home which is one way of working safely and which is work for many employers and employees now as well as employees going to be affecting the local authorities as well who will now have to be in charge of closing down any public spaces in case of any localized break outs
12:35 am
but this would seem to be running counter to what the government's chief scientific adviser and out on thursday said that people ought to be really staying at home as much as possible until the end of the pandemic but let's not forget exactly how much the trying to make has affected the economy here there is enormous pressure to try and get things back to normal as quickly as possible question is in the rush to try and limit the damage that's been done to the economy so the government is really diverging from the scientific advice says it's always followed. and british airways is retiring its entire fleet of boeing 747 aircraft after a sharp downturn in international travel the u.k.'s national carrier was operating $31.00 of the so-called jumbo jets more than any other airline it had planned to retire the last the fit's fleet by 2024 as a look to more fuel efficient models but all its 74 seven's are now being grounded

program just you know secretaries we've conver 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 he clark or any gallagher on the seal who you know basically had committed committed berta so he got he got fired so i think it will be very hard for trump in an election year those fires a secretary you don't have time to get another one so i think if asked those worried about his place in history he should really just go full you know full of extreme a hand on this police and residents in chicago and several other u.s. cities are braced for another weekend of violence summer street crime is accelerating with hundreds of people shot or killed this year alone crime analysts say the pandemic and the george floyd protests have increased tensions in an urban area as $100.00 reports from chicago 7 year old natalia wallace was
