agency says california has now become the 2nd u.s. state after new york to report more than 400000 cases earlier the white house press secretary revealed the president is tested several times a day the president is the most tested man in america and he says more than anyone multiple times a day and we believe that he's acting appropriately. mike hanna joins us live from washington d.c. michael expecting president trying to have scientists with him at the briefing. where he may have scientists but it's not clear yet whether dr anthony fauci the country's largest will be present within the last hour dr fox he has said that at that point he had not been invited to join president the 2 have had an uneasy relationship the president continues to claim that he values dr park tree however he did accuse dr pollack you recently of being an alarmist dr response to that was

no actually i'm a realist certainly not an alarmist so the issue is we do not know with dr parties going to be present at that news conference that will become apparent in the coming hour when it begins and in the meantime that give us an update on the virus situation around the country. well it continues to spike in a large number of states more than half of states a concern of continuing to record huge numbers of cases of the virus so certainly that is of great concern also of great concern is that c.d.c. report that you just mentioned and perhaps a can of those 3 cases being reported are. apologies we seem to have lost trouble there with the line to mike hanna and the federal prosecutors in the u.s.

have charged 2 chinese men with hacking hundreds of companies including firms researching the coronavirus they say the men targeted information on drugs most recently trying to steal cancer research it's alleged it was part of a multi-year cyber espionage campaign also targeting weapons designs dissidents and chinese opposition figures when it comes days after russian hackers were accused of trying to steal corona virus vaccine research. china has now taken its place alongside russia iran and north korea in that shameful club of nations that provide a safe haven for cyber criminals in exchange for those criminals being on call for the benefit of the state here to feed the chinese communist party's appetite for american and other non chinese companies hard earned intellectual property including covert 19 research several late stage vaccine trials are underway in brazil a chinese made drug which arrived in sao paolo nun day is being tested on some 900

volunteers and the university of oxford possible coronavirus vaccine is also being tested in brazil and south africa to risible has more. well the niece of branches was one of the 1st brazilians to receive the oxford vaccine against kuwait 19 she's a dentist in a hospital in sao paulo have exposure to the virus and they need to prevent the spread of the disease is what made her want to become a volunteer for the clinical trials you know this is a b. of us since receiving this vaccine i have had no adverse effects no symptoms or reactions i keep a clinical diary for the researchers and inform them of my temperature i continue working with the same level of exposure to the virus and working full time providing full assistance to this covidien patient last month the oxford trials got underway in 3 faces and their brazilian government has signed a letter of intention to have access to around $100000000.00 doses but it's not the

only vaccine that is being tested on monday the governor of so powerful an ounce 20000 seen a vaccine from china had arrived in brazil specky testing is now underway and is expected to last for 3 months yes ryssdal to order a lot more this study is controlled by the institute of blue turn turn we're not just participate in it will become an open study since we have the 1st evidence on the efficacies of this vaccine amat will allow us to bring the vaccine to the brazilian people quick 3 we have the possibility to become the 1st country in the world to use this vaccine on a large scale so this is a historical moment. more than 2000000 people are infected with the virus in brazil and it has killed at least 80000 others while the testing could one day prove promising some consumer groups award that brazil could be left out and that's why there are calls to vote on a law on compulsory licensing only licenses and the very.

large scale access and pursue should adopt a license and especially if you love it. congress which is. to. change its use i love you but each and every technology use to do it to do it endemic of. are subjected to. also a license in other words if not acknowledges should be under monopoly but many say it's unlikely that government. would support the law because he has downplayed the threat of cool with 19 brazil is a country of over 200000000 people. is crucial to help save lives. and to see. iran has reported its highest daily number of deaths since the outbreak

began the health ministry announced 229 more deaths on tuesday it follows weeks of rising infections across the country more than 278000 cases have been officially reported and at least 14600 people have died the rising toll from to the authorities to make face masks mandatory in enclosed public spaces further restrictions have been introduced in the west affected areas including the capital tehran. to south african cabinet ministers have been admitted to hospital with the coronavirus says the official number of infections there passes 373000 south africa accounts for 50 percent of cases in africa and ranks 5th in the world after the us brazil india and russia the virus has killed more than $5000.00 people in the country so far the world health organization says it should be a warning to the rest of the continent to strengthen disease surveillance. zimbabwe's president has announced a dawn to dusk curfew in an effort to contain the spread of the virus and says it

will begin on wednesday and be enforced by the security forces but critics say the measure has been announced to stop anti-government protests planned for next week zimbabwe has reported just over 700 infections and 26 deaths it took 4 days of negotiations but it dawned on the 5th morning the european union leaders finally agreed a massive coronavirus recovery fund they hope the $859000000000.00 deal will help rebuild economies devastated by the pandemic but it's also highlighted stark political divisions after pushback by northern nations led by the netherlands steadfast in reports from amsterdam. it was a test of and durant for e.u. leaders in their longest gox summit in decades 4 days of tough negotiations with tempers often freight finally on the 5th a deal $859000000000.00 in non repayable grants and loans to countries worst

affected by the coronavirus can that make cuts. in we we spent 4 long days and nights of negotiation more than 90 hours but it was worth it this agreement is a signal that europe is able to act after all people often accused europe of being too little too late for us here we're demonstrating that the opposite is the case dawned in masks it was the leaders 1st face to face meeting since government imposed lockdown restrictions in march lockdowns that also meant the biggest economic downturn since the great depression. german chancellor angela merkel was among leaders from france spain and italy who led the way in convincing the block to consider the amount evenly into loans and grants. we've laid the financial foundations for the e.u. for the next 7 years and at the same time came up with a response to the biggest crisis in the history of the european union with the

recovery fund. the south proclaimed fogel for sweden denmark austria and the netherlands initially stood opposed to the deal. the group led by the dutch prime minister mark hurd worried about death but in the end they were also convinced. this is of course different take you live to the white house now where president donald trump is giving his 1st coronavirus task force briefing since april the job of errors and what my administration is doing to get the outbreak in the cern belt under control seems largely in sunbelt but could be spreading where team is also working night and day with capitol hill to advance the next economic relief. package working very hard on it we're making a lot of progress i also. know that both sides want to get it done we'll call it phase 4 i think we're going to get it done we'll protect our workers or schools that our families and protect a very strongly as one family we mourn every precious life that's been

lost i pledge in their honor that we will develop a vaccine and we will defeat the virus we're doing very well with vaccine development and therapeutic development but i want to thank our brave doctors and nurses and frontline responders the job they do is incredible and they are truly brave. my administration will stop at nothing to save lives and shield the vulnerable which is so important we've learned so much about this disease and we know who the vulnerable are and we are going to indeed shield them and again the vaccines are coming in the coming a lot sooner than anyone thought possible by years if you look at the old system and look at the new system and think by years the china virus is a vicious and dangerous illness but we've learned a great deal about it and who it targets we are in the process of

developing a strategy that's going to be very very powerful we've developed as we go along some areas of our country are doing very well others are doing less well. it will probably unfortunately get worse before it gets better something i don't like saying about things but that's the way it is it's the way it's what we have you look over the world it's all over the world. and it tends to do that the governors are working very very hard and we are supporting them 100 percent everything they need they get and we're taking good care we have tremendous supplies and a great supply chain whether it's ventilators or gallons or just about anything they need so that's a big difference from inheriting very very empty cupboards the median age of those who succumb to the china virus is 78 years old roughly half of all deaths have been individuals in nursing homes or long term care in one study 90 percent of

those hospitalized had underlying medical conditions whether it's heart or diabetes but usually it's some kind of a condition it seems that people have that and if they do it's a problem no question about it young adults may often have mild or even no symptoms they won't even know this sick. they won't have any idea that they have a virus they won't have any idea at all america's youth will act responsibly and we're asking everybody that when you are not able to socially distance wear a mask get a mask whether you like the mask or not they have an impact they'll have an effect and we need everything we can get data shows children have the lowest they tell it or risk 99.96 percent of all virus fatalities are in adults because that so that's much much much less than one percent for children

young people by understanding these risk profiles and learning how to treat the disease we've been able to greatly reduce mortality in the united states and fact which so you chart and how well we do compared to the rest of the world we have several treatments already available that significantly reduce the severity and duration of the disease including room to severe which has been very successful and a widely available steroid treatment and we have many more happening and coming out we've learned best practices for treatment of the virus at every stage and have shared these findings with medical providers and we've shared them all over the world but the relationship with other countries has been very strong we're all working together this includes ensuring all hospitals 'd are aware of the importance of different approaches to oxygen treatment including high flow oxygen

the importance of steroid treatment for those on ventilators and when you're on a ventilator we've learned a tremendous about the use of the ventilator and at the beginning people never had an experience like this where we needed so many ventilators so fast and even the use of the ventilators but the doctors have become incredibly and nurses and help. as have become incredibly good at the use of a ventilator which is actually a very complicated procedure and allocating room disappear to hospitals based on new admissions since it works best early and hospitalization and that's something that they've really started they're using it much earlier fatalities nationwide a fall in 75 percent since mid april that's a great number as cases and fatalities rise in certain hard hit states which you're looking at right now we're surging personnel supplies and therapeutics we again

have tremendous amounts of supplies we are in very good shape and we can move them quickly our case fatality rate has continued to decline and is lower than the european union and almost everywhere else in the world if you watch american television you'd think that the united states was the only country involved with and suffering from the china virus well the world is suffering very badly but the fact is that many countries are suffering very very badly and they've been suffering from this virus for a long time we've done much better than most and with the fatality rate at a lower rate than most it's something that we can talk about but we're working again with them because we're helping a lot of countries that people don't even know about i get calls all 'd the time asking for help especially as it pertains to the ventilators they need help with ventilators they have to get them they're very hard to get. we're making thousands

now a month thousands of ventilators a month it's been quite amazing we keep doing a good job and things will get better and better we'll be putting up charts behind me showing different statistics and different rates of. success and i guess you could say also things that we can do better on but you'll see them be put up as we go in april the average age of individuals who tested positive for the virus was over 50 years old today the average age is significantly younger hospital lengths of stay are almost half of what they were in april so the stays are about half the rate of cases requiring hospitalization has been reduced and mortality among those admitted to the hospital is nearly one half of what it was in april we've learned a lot with learned a lot about this disease how to handle it the doctors have learned a lot not only in the use of the ventilators but in many other things and things

are happening to like the room to severe and and other elements steroids etc but these trends could change without our continued and relentless focus and that's what we have we have a relentless focus and it's been that way from the beginning but we have learned so much as you know in recent weeks we've seen a concerning rise in the cases in many parts of our south you look at south southwest and west this growth in cases 1st began to appear in mid june primarily among 18 to 35 year olds many of whom were asymptomatic were also facing the challenge of a significant spice and virus cases across the rest of the western hemisphere including mexico mexico has been hit very very very hard and you know the president a great gentleman was here 2 weeks ago and they have really been hit hard because we've achieved nearly. fourfold increase in testing capacity in 2 months we're

successfully identifying more asymptomatic and mild cases some cases so mild that you really don't even treat them some cases. with children where they don't even know that they're ill and i guess they're not very ill because they recover almost immediately per capita the u.s. is conducting 50 percent more tests than europe and we've conducted nearly 3 times as many tests as all of the other countries in the western hemisphere combined the over 50000000 tests. this allows us to isolate those who are infected even those without symptoms so we know exactly where it's going what it's going to be there we're also working to reduce turnaround time my ministration has been aggressively responding to case growth we're watching president outlining his figure his 1st grown a virus briefing since april he said it pledged that they will develop

a vaccine and do that faster than was expected he continued to call the coroner as the china virus and he did admit that he said it would probably get better before it probably get worse before it gets better and he said he didn't like saying that but that was probably the case and he was also keen to point out that everybody should wear a mask you know asking everybody to wear a mask where it's not possible to distance perhaps a change in emphasis there from the president and he then went on to outline some of the areas which have been hardest hit recently but also some of the improvements in the mortality rate of those who have been affected by coronavirus in the recent months and improvements are being made in the last few months in treatment. and moving on to the u.k. government rejecting calls for a review into possible russian interference in the e.u. referendum it follows accusations that it actively avoided looking into evidence of meddling by the kremlin during the 2016 vote

a long delayed intelligence report says the government failed to take action even after information emerged of moscow trying to influence the 2014 scottish independence vote so you've got to go report. in the shadows of britain's democratic process and its economy the threat of interference from russia looms large russia who says i'm all encompassing security threat which is fueled by paranoia about the west and a desire to be seen as a subject great power. how is it malicious cyber activity in order to set itself aggressively for example by attempting to interfere other country's elections by pre-positioning itself in other countries critical national infrastructure and this is an immediate threat to national security. the warning signs with the scottish independence referendum in 2014 the 1st post soviet interference in a western democratic election but it raised little curiosity from the government

this long awaited report paints a picture of a political system rife with complacency when it came to the issue of russian attempts at interference britain's democratic processes were at stake as well as national security so the question remains why did governments take so long to tackle them there is a lot of russians with very close links to. putin who are now very well integrated into but the u.k. business political and social scene was referred to as lending london grad yet few if any questions have been hashed regarding the problems of considerable wealth. this. approach should provided an ideal mechanism by which illicit finance could be recycled through the london laundromat.

it was the government's failure to look into possible russian meddling in the 2016 breck's referendum that sparks the investigation by m.p.'s no evidence of interference has been found but the lack of curiosity to examine that raised alarm in the report after the break said vote it was the turn of the us in the 2016 presidential election u.s. intelligence agencies concluded that russia had been behind cyber attacks on the democratic party to help the eventual winner donald trump it was a wake up call that turned into an uproar after the attempted murder of former double agent said on british soil with a soviet developed nerve agent russia denied it was to blame but it plunged u.k. russian relations to a low not seen since the cold war but it is the undermining of british institutions that is at the heart of this storm the u.k. will have to overhaul its previous approach if it is to have a chance of tackling this new normal. al-jazeera london. that's why there's so in

matthew goodwin who's a professor of politics and international relations at the university of kent just on the issue of the intelligence and security committee said about the government failing to protect the referendum and the government has already said that it won't investigate it now so what do you think the impact of these conclusions from this committee will be. well i think the question of russia's involvement in the 2016 referendum will now remain as a riddle that will never be solved many people looking for a definitive view on that question and have not got that view the report is very clear in saying that firstly the intelligence services do not want to be dragged into what they see as a political dispute but also because now i heard later on today that the government is not planning to pursue the inquiry any further and so i think we're going to be left where we are which is not really knowing what happened and it was. on the

broader issues i mean that the report on news that russia is actively hostile towards the u.k. and that successive governments have failed to tackle a the range and extent of that hostility do you think the climate has changed at all now and that they're more practically tackling these threats. well certainly today government ministers were very quick to say that they are tackling the threats from russia or and other powers and we also have to remember the context in which this has taken place britain has gone through a very divisive very toxic political debate the last 5 years have been enormously difficult for britain's democracy in the committee that. was organized around this report has changed composition we now have a conservative party with a large majority and obviously a program it's a government that doesn't really have any desire to pursue and investigate this issue any further so i think it's fair to say that we're probably not going to hear

much more just last year what was interesting today is that people did say well there are a number of open source papers and studies into this question of russia's involvement in the referendum and those also are quite inconclusive so we're not going to get an update and also see what about the the influence the russians within society and that they talk about for instance the man that the members of the upper house of parliament the house of lords don't have to declare payments from outside sources is that something you think that could actually be looked at as something they might that might be tackled. i think it certainly could i mean i tend to be an optimist when it comes to these things and that britain's democracy ever since the parliamentary expenses scandal in 2009 has been overhauled and reformed in a number of important ways and there will obviously things that we could do with the house of lords but overall britain's political system. monitored incredibly closely in terms of interactions with other powers you might also picked up in the

last couple of weeks for example that our former chancellor philip hammond has been receiving scrutiny and criticism for taking roles with. foreign powers often leaving office so i think overall the level of transparency and accountability is is very high in britain and i think that's a good thing overall even if people today feel frustrated by this specific work or matthew goodwin thank you very much indeed for your thoughts thank you. lots more still to come this hour including. state like pompei appraises the u.k. standing up to china as he visits london. mollies opposition calls for a 10 day pause in protest against president ahead of the old festival. and the football team that can't stop scoring goals in italy they will behead that in sport .

hello there still are all the catty picture across northern areas of europe and not discount of course there is a some rain in the makes the mickelson clear skies out across the southwest where we've also seen is in fairly strong thunderstorms and this of course is the result off the thunderstorm 1st of all in hungary a beautiful rainbows you can say that across the skies darkest skies in moscow but again some thunderstorms have been in the mix and some particularly strong thunderstorms in lisbon in portugal this of course is where the heat has really been in place temperatures actually coming down a little bit across into portugal and spain and in fact the same time the cloud is increasing want to shout to the north and you can see that very widespread throughout france across the line of the alps and on towards romania that sunny through wednesday there's also more rain across northern sections of the u.k. and a scattering of showers and for you cloudy conditions really across much of the north then as we go on into thursday those rain showers becoming rather more widespread

across the u.k. a time to rise london coming down a little bit as you might expect but mostly sunny and warm in paris with a high of 27 and again discussion of showers across areas of the south and more of that rain across northern europe as well meanwhile down into northern africa it is fine and dry there is the chance i want to show just developing across areas of morocco but for the most part for the next couple days it is fine dry and warm. but. the health of humanity is at stake a global pandemic requires a global response. w.h.o. is the guardian of global health delivering lifesaving supplies and training to help the world's most found people uniting across borders to speed up the development to test treatments and effects in working with scientists and health

workers to learn all we can about the virus keeping you up to date with what's happening on the ground in the womb and in the land. advocating for everyone to have access to essential health services now more than ever the world needs w.h.o. making a healthier world. for everyone. and one of the top stories here on out is there a us president donald trump is giving his 1st coronavirus task force briefing since

april in a shift in rhetoric on facial coverings he's encouraged americans to wear a mask if they cannot maintain social distance. but chinese made corona virus vaccine is now being child in brazil where more than 80000 people have died from the virus. and the u.k. government has been accused of actively avoiding looking into evidence of russian interference in the back seat referendum. mike hanna joins us live now from washington d.c. mike took us through that the tone of the briefing there from the president trying . well it was a telephone that we were accustomed to before when these briefings took place president trump taking the podium alone and going on basically a restyled speech about how well his administration is doing in dealing with the pandemic he repeated his claim that the u.s.

leads the world in terms of testing though many experts dispute this particular fact he also mentioned that the case load although it's increasing the mortality rate is dropping sharply which he sees as great courage meant he also mentioned for example that the young children while vectored are not affected badly at all this is once again disputed by a number of health experts so basically it's president trump back on the podium using this event to become america's cheerleader as he once described himself in the role that he saw in doing this attempting to offer comfort attempting to offer hope and he repeated this assertion that this virus is going to disappear without giving any a reason why it should so certainly it was a performance that we've seen before but one notable absence from this briefing is dr anthony found she now president trump was asked directly with the e.r.

stuck to to attend leave briefing dr fire chief the country's leaving for ologist president trump didn't answer he just said that dr deborah burke's is waiting outside she will brief be in a symbol of media when she comes in so he didn't direct the issue of the issue directly but it does appear to only partially him self said about an hour ago that he had not been invited to this meeting something that many would find a standing that he would be cut out of the loop as it were in president trump's 1st briefing in months i can i thank you very much. scientists in new delhi say random testing indicates that more than one in 5 people in india's capital have been a fair. by the coronavirus with 31000 new cases were confirmed across the country on tuesday and india's top medical research body is urging states to increase testing capacity many local governments have ordered targeted lockdowns in high risk areas to slow new infections india has reported more than 1100000 cases and
