4:00 pm
this is al jazeera. hello and welcome to the program i'm peter double you're watching the news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes iran's president says more than a quarter of iranians 25000000 people may have been infected with the coronavirus. investigators from the international criminal court arrive in libya to look into whether the warlords have to as committed war crimes. he was a pioneer of the u.s. civil rights movement congressman john lewis has died at the age of 80. mali's
4:01 pm
protest leaders refused to back down on demands for the president's resignation dismissing regional mediation efforts. also ahead fire rages through the historical fetal moments in western france that dates back to the 15th century. we begin in iran where the president hassan rouhani says 25000000 iranians have been infected by the coronavirus that's more than a quarter of the population rouhani says another 35000000 are at risk in the real figures from the health ministry or far higher than the official number iran is the hardest hit country anywhere in the middle east has no card to get paid leave out of mohammed one of the most important matters is that here is to medical
4:02 pm
recommendations and social distancing to limit the spread of the corona virus according to the ministry of health estimates 25000000 iranians have been infected with the coronavirus so far and we have lost about $14000.00 of them within $150.00 days. it is possible that 30 to 35000000 citizens are at risk to be affected in the coming period this means that the number of patients who will be hospitalized will double it is possible the virus will continue until march. well to put this in context johns hopkins university which is tracking the pandemic puts the number of cases globally at just over 40000000 and says iran has confirmed more than 271000 infections and nearly $14000.00 to correspondent joining us here on the news out of tehran zain how has mr rouhani arrived at these figures. peter we saw these numbers that he stated the 25000000 number during
4:03 pm
a meeting of his coronavirus task force this meeting comes on the day this alarming hard to believe number comes on the 1st day of return to lock down to a lockdown situation here in the capital tehran after we've seen a record number of deaths from the coronavirus pandemic in recent weeks now in the hours since this meeting took place in the hours since the president made this statement about 25000000 people potentially infected number that he said could turn into 30 or 35000000 in the next few months there was clarification from the secretary of the science committee on his taskforce and this gentleman put out a statement saying that the number really that mr rouhani was talking about reflects those who were tested and showed signs of having antibodies and those were people that were potentially asymptomatic for the covert 19 virus and were not hospitalized he also made the point of illustrating that actual figures of
4:04 pm
infection and death that iran compiles that it then sends out to the world official confirmed figures those come from people who are hospitalized and are tested positive in swab test. for the covert 19 coronavirus now what we see here the figure that mr rouhani is talking about perhaps a better word than infection is it's the total number of people that have been exposed in the country to the coronavirus now whether he misspoke or whether this was president hassan rouhani trying to fire a warning flare to illustrate iranians it remains a serious problem that they have to take the threat of the current virus seriously the point that the president made today either way is that iran has been and remains the worst affected countries in the middle east zain thanks very much let's bring in julian savulescu a physician and professor at the university of oxford doc so welcome to the news
4:05 pm
what's your reading of what we think these figures may indicate well they're indicating 1st of all which is what we're starting to realize that many people hate all are affected end up so i need to say to them are i symptomatic and figures that we've been using. to saw it whether to have a lot down all relaxed law down are rapidly changing and we still don't know even 7 months into this what the actual mortality is if you get infected it started off with an estimate of one percent of bain and racing think is that point 3 percent and it might go even lower so i think what we're seeing is not enough as research is being done we don't have accurate diagnosis is there a sense in which however if this represents a new transparency on the parts of a government in this case the iranian government it might actually be good news because we're getting
4:06 pm
a more accurate picture point number one point number 2 if so many people have been asymptomatic but they've still develop antibodies that will help the researchers because they can work on statistical modeling as well. absolutely i mean we should be going this is you know if we can all see without accurate data now early on it's raising to use your best guesses your best estimates but that we really should be doing research in countries like iraq and to better understand how fighting this disease how contagious and something then we can decide what what where are the costs of law down not worth it or whether we should be bracing do you think there's a possible significance here as to why mr rouhani came out with these figures today i mean it's not the 6 month anniversary say of the 1st confirmed case of covert 19 the numbers according to johns hopkins have not gone hugely massively high yes
4:07 pm
they're high yes iran is suffering more than any other country in the middle east but it's not peaking at 500000 or a 1000000 yes it's very interesting oh i can't speculate on the market actions but i think it is revealing and it might well change the dynamic globally once we start to digest you know those numbers and if they're accurate. you know we might see we might see changes not just in iran but globally once because the right has always been a hot point with high antibody coverage to body numbers in certain areas but at least takes it to another level does it also mean doctor that when we look at any other country around the world apart from say places like singapore cats are small wealthy countries places like south korea you know those 3 countries have done a very good job and we trust the figures of those 3 countries does it also mean however that the the number of people who've been infected they maybe don't know it they
4:08 pm
are asymptomatic they've got antibodies those numbers might be higher globally as well. well i will be much higher there's also research out of this waiting that it shows that even if you don't have antibodies. you this and this large numbers of people who have pain faked it but don't produce any bodies you can see this in one of the whole the t. cells and i have immunity from from from that from notice the cell populations so antibodies gives you want to just a minute of the number of people exposed that that's not even you know the numbers might be even greater than that number the people that have antibodies significant right there might even orders of you know multiples right. thank you very much good to talk to you on the news out of investigators from the international criminal court have arrived in the libyan capital tripoli to look into whether forces loyal to the warlord how the 4 have type of committed war crimes the 3 member team will

4:31 pm
in poaching a lot quite significantly informed opinions there has been a very aggressive political rhetoric that has become very normal in israeli society in-depth analysis of the day's global headlines it's time for new policy and say countries i think not only seem to grady but he's written in the really deep all we all continue inside story on al-jazeera. you're watching the news from a reminder of your top stories so far today iran's president says 25000000 iranians been infected with the coronavirus that's more than
4:32 pm
a quarter of the entire population ruhani also says another 35000000 are risk of contracting the virus. investigators from the i.c.c. have arrived in the libyan capital tripoli to look into what the forces loyal to warlord holly for have to and whether he's committed war crimes mass graves and bodies were found in the city of tal who know last month his fighters left behind to be traps and improvised explosives south of tripoli after they recruited. him as congressman john lewis is died at the age of 18 he was a pioneer of the civil rights movement and the organizer of the 1963 march on washington. the virus pandemic has highlighted the vulnerable suffer 1st and worst in times of crisis so says the u.n. secretary general antonio could tell he's added that even before the pandemic inequality was a global plague as you can see there on your screen the u.n.
4:33 pm
chief is giving a live speech about global inequality i guess viewed through the prism of cope at 19 let's have a listen in to what he's saying. all the gain by is enormous mental strengths and incalculable courage nelson mandela spent 27 years in prison 18 of them at robben island but he never allowed these experience to define him or his life. nelson mandela rolls above his jailers to leave rates millions of south africans and become globally speed ation and that more than i can evoke of his life to fighting the inequality that has reached crisis proportions around the world in recent decades and that poses a growing threat to our future and so today. i will talk about how we can address the many mutual reinforcing strands and layers that we need quality before they destroy your economies and societies your friends copied
4:34 pm
19 is shining a spotlight on these injustices the world is in turmoil economies are in freefall and we have been brought to our knees by a microscopic vial. the pandemic as demonstrated the finish of our world's it has laid bare respects we have not for decades in adequate health systems gaps in social protection structure we need qualities environmental degradation the climate crisis entire regions and if we're making progress on either the gating poverty and narrowing the inequality and been set back ears in a matter of months the vios poses the greatest risk to the most vulnerable those living in poverty older people and people with disabilities and preexisting conditions and thus workers are on the front lines with more than $4000.00 infected in south africa alone and pay tribute to them in some countries else inequality is
4:35 pm
not amplified it's not just private hospitals but businesses and even individuals are doing and that these urgently need everyone at the magic example if you need quality the economic fallout of the pandemic is affecting those who work in the informal economy small and medium sized businesses and people who are getting responsibilities while mainly women. we face the deepest global recession since world war 2 and the brothers collapse in incomes since 89 and then 7100000000 more people would be pushed into extreme poverty and we could see famines if you study proportions. $1000.00 has been likened to an extremely revealing fractures in the fragile skeleton of the societies we have built is exposing fallacy is that fossils everywhere the lie that the markets can believe or else care for all the fiction that end bait can work is not work the illusion that
4:36 pm
we live in a post racist world the meat yet we are all in the same boat because while we are all floating on the same sea it is clear that somebody in super yachts with others are clinging to the 15 degree the friends in equality defines our time more than 70 percent of the world's people are living with rising income and wealth inequality the 26 reaches people in the world although as much welse as all of the global population i think cambodians wells are not the only merit colleges there we seem to last that line and. we have not lost the line to our diplomatic editor james bays at the united nations in new york will try and establish comes back to mr terrace james in the meantime it sounded like he was
4:37 pm
getting ready for quite a robust delivery of a speech there. you know they are describing this here is the u.n. as a landmark speech it stopped for a moment because of technical reasons because this is all being done virtually this is mandela day nelson mandela's birthday and it was always a plan for antonio good terrorists to give a speech he was originally going to go on a trip to south africa of course that perspire own but it is a hard hitting speech on global inequality and you heard some of it there he's not naming countries but he's certainly wading into difficult political territory because he's taking on i think inequality and in some ways taking on inequality created by capitalism as you've heard and just that line that you heard about fall
4:38 pm
suits and phyliss the quote was the lie that free markets can deliver health care for all in the election season here in the u.s. where the u.n. is based clearly health care remains one of those absolutely central political issues and i'm sure they'll be some in the u.s. system who derived the secretary general and remember that once before he was a socialist prime minister was a home country portugal we also think he was a book going to touch on this idea that the countries that won the 2nd world war particularly if you talk about them through the prism of the aftermath of that in certain parts of africa for example you know blending that into colonial past times as well or colonial history i should say that the they have refused to engage with necessary reforms for the countries that the either defeated in world war 2 or where they used to be the colonial power who is he thinking about specifically there do we know. well he's certainly as you say raising the
4:39 pm
echo of colonialism and the effect it has on the world now and clearly raising the whole structure of the international system of the bretton woods organizations the world bank and the international monetary fund and the system within close to home to him the system within the u.n. because of course you still have a system of the u.n. of a u.n. charter that was decided exactly 75 years ago in the aftermath of world war 2 and that system still gives him what is the ultimate court with regard to peace and security a special power to the countries that won world war 2 there are 5 permanent members of the security council and they retain vetoes many countries would like to see that changed in fact i probably would go as far as say virtually every country apart from those 5 members the secretary general is not wading into that
4:40 pm
controversy to saying there needs to be a change to the international system so an important speech by the secretary general going further than many secretary generals have gone and certainly further than this one has in what has been so far for years in office he's been very cautious about what he says he's very careful not to criticize the big powers he's not directly criticizing them but he is criticizing the system that they benefit from in this speech james do stay with us please here on the news and switches and put some money in the meter we're going to go back. and to get. at u.n. headquarters economies that want colonized i typically reask getting locked into the production of raw materials and goods and you form of colonialism and we see these in global poverty lation. as being a double victim. 1st as a target of the court on your project 2nd every can countries are and that he presented in the international institutions that were created after the 2nd world
4:41 pm
war because before most of them had won independence the nations that came out on top more than 7 decades ago every fuse to contemplate that he forms needed to change power relations in international institutions. and as is the way with these things i have television we've lost the un secretary general again let's go back to james bay as a diplomatic editor he was also we think james going to focus in on this idea of very clearly drawing a line of demarcation between climate action and climate justice and he has said this for a couple of years now particular going back to the paris climate accords was that at least 3 or 4 years ago now where the idea is that old rust belt industries should and will be replaced by green industries but people will lose their jobs off the back of that so they've got to be provided for presumably by the incoming new
4:42 pm
industry. yeah absolutely and that of course is the digital technology and again he says there is a inequality in a divide there in terms of digital technology and those that have access to new technology and those that don't i'm in a very wide ranging look at inequality around the world also in the speech focusing on the current movements with regard to race relations around the world following the death of george floyd the black lives matter movement and also gender parity and dealing with the effects of the me to movement so those get reflected as well in this very broad and quite powerful speech by the secretary general and i think i'd go as far as say quite controversial speech by the secretary general wading into areas that probably are going to not please some of
4:43 pm
the powers that be in the world certainly the p 5 permanent members of the u.n. security council stress on human rights again of course but no specifics in this speech that's how i think the u.n. are hoping to deliver this and not get a ton of criticism from the countries that have the most power in the international system he's talking about the broader system and how the fact that coded 19 has acted as an x. ray exposing the fractures in the system and this is the time. to change things of course he's he's he's detecting the problem he's not giving any idea of how to solve it in terms of getting countries together most of the countries are too preoccupied with their own responses to covert 19 so far to look at these sort of structural big issues the exist in the world and certainly we've had no talk of
4:44 pm
