1:01 pm
their abandoning demands for self rule. i'm joining us now with the sports including a shutout a major league baseball fan now the miami marlins have upcoming games to his pint as the team battles occur in a virus outbreak. all countries and cities in asia are praised for effectively tackling the coronavirus pandemic are now raising alarms over new infections it's just after chen 10 g.m.t. we're tracking the covert $1000.00 hotspots around the world vietnam says every city in provinces now with the risk of an outbreak of to being virus free for months while hong kong's leaders also warning the city is on the verge of a large scale outbreak and the hospital system is at risk of collapsing. i mean
1:02 pm
while a new report in india says more than half of the people in mumbai's slums of had coronavirus about 40 percent of the city's population lives in shanties in the u.k. the government's under pressure for discharging thousands of patients from hospitals into care homes without testing them some m.p.'s have called the decision reckless and appalling britain has also imposed a 2 week quarantine for people coming from spain as 8 records a resurgence in new cases and after months of lockdown chile has begun lifting restrictions in parts of its capital santiago but health experts there are warning about the risks of doing so well scott hylas monitoring the situation in vietnam and he's joining us now live from bangkok let's talk about this sudden surge scott do we know what has been causing this. rob yes we can pretty much pinpoint at least where the main concern has come over the last say 24 hours
1:03 pm
and that we heard the warning from the prime minister there saying that every city every province is at risk now in vietnam that's because of last weekend denying is a resort town on the coast and what has been happening like a lot of nations that have have been success stories in 1000 pandemic and that is trying to spur the economy by telling citizens to travel internally domestic tourism and travel that will help spark the economy that's what they did in vietnam and that's where the 1st cases locally transmitted cases in 3 months took place last week and then and then you have tens of thousands of vietnamese citizens going back to their home cities and that's where they're very concerned now that it could spread further and then we've seen some cases that have roots in denying and spread to other cities like hanoi and city those are the 2 largest cities in vietnam those are the big concerns and there are cases that can be traced to particularly in hanoi there was one where a gentleman worked at
1:04 pm
a pizza restaurant and he tested positive that was shut down the testing is going on there so that's a very big concern in vietnam but also when you look at other countries in the region like here in thailand they too have been encouraging their citizens to travel domestically to get you know these these slumping economy is at least a little bit and better shakes but obviously right now they're looking at what happened in vietnam very cautiously rob. nother success story of course had been hong kong but now we're seeing kong's leader saying that there is a warning of another outbreak there what more do we know about that. yes he said there on the verge of a potential outbreak and you know when you look at hong kong you look at how dense that city as you look at its border with china there are great concerns throughout this whole process this whole pandemic that there could very easily be a spike that could rapidly expand in hong kong but it really hadn't happened but
1:05 pm
this past week you've seen several days of over 100 locally transmitted cases and that really has the government there very concerned strictest measures put into place since this pandemic began face coverings are men dettori in any public situation as well as no more than 2 people can be can gather at once and then also there's no dine in restaurants those are pretty big restrictions when you look at hong kong you look at their history their success in these past couple of months so obviously very concerned that it could quickly get out of hand in hong kong other scott hardly talking to us from buying called let's get more on the reports into the release of patients to care homes for the elderly in the u.k. with rory chalons in london at 1st glance rory this does not look like good news for boris johnson's government again. well this report is looking into a fairly broad parts of the government's coronavirus pandemic response
1:06 pm
it's being put out by the public accounts committee which is a cross party body which looks at effectiveness and spending in government this report is more about effectiveness than spending. it looks at various different things the this issue of the people being discharged just discharged from hospitals into care homes is one of the things that this report is most critical of let let's rewind back to kind of late march early april as the government was was getting the n.h.s. ready for what was assumed to be a huge lot of coronavirus patients it was building new emergency hospitals and it was trying to free up as many beds as possible in the hospitals that already exist and what it did was order hospitals to basically discharge anyone who they considered medically fit some 25000 of these people were discharged straight from the hospital back into retirement homes care homes etc without being tested and the
1:07 pm
report says this was a reckless and negligent policy that this was an appalling error because the government been talking at the time about throwing a protective ring around cat homes while the chair of this this committee make hillier i've spoken to said that those sound like whole other words now because at the time it was basically sending people into those care homes without testing many of whom we don't know how many had coronavirus and subsequently there was a huge death toll in care homes and retirement homes that perhaps could have been avoided. rory we're seeing a certain amount of speculation certainly in the u.k. media that britain may well be thinking about adding extra countries additional countries to its quarantine this now this does seem to be speculation of the moment can you give us some more details on that. well yeah we don't know of any concrete details about which countries are going to be added to this list
1:08 pm
and when boris johnson the prime minister is warning people of such things likely and of course this is hugely confusing for brits who are planning to go abroad at the moment the decisions but spain back on the list over the weekend so many people by surprise and now everyone's off in themselves well you know farm already abroad or i'm about to go abroad how do i know that the country i mean or about to go to is not going to be added to that list of the last minute the travel industry is screaming about a different approach to this you've got the boss of heathrow airport saying that they should have testing being done at horse people coming off planes so that you can avoid this 2 week quarantine there is another approach being suggested which is testing people a week after they've called back so that perhaps they could be cuts in the hof
1:09 pm
you've got other recommendations such as you know let's not do this is a country by country blanket ban but be much much more specific so we can talk about regions of countries rather than whole countries themselves but yeah it's another confusing aspects of britain's approach to coronavirus rory thanks for that . in london or let's go to the situation in spain and we'll talk tomato who's there for us in barcelona let's talk about the u.k. putting people traveling back from spain to the u.k. on a 2 week courting team list how is spain reacting to that. well the spanish government led by banished from minister pierre that our son to have has begun come paining to brand spain as a save this the nation prime minister has been pushing the u.k. to reconsider the decision of imposing these 2 weeks quarantine to anyone travel from spain from all countries they're trying to make clear that spain is
1:10 pm
a safe this to nation and all the active clusters are quite located and quite under control so this this position from the u.k. that joins a list of 150 countries that have already imposed restrictions and limitations to travelers to a country course a big impact a huge impact in the spanish society and especially in spanish economy tourism sector represents a 12 percent of all of us economy and the tourist traveling every year from from britain $80000000.00 people so what they want to know what the next step for spanish government what they're battling for right now is to keep out of this decision. to stall is that during the current a virus outbreak didn't didn't we just have these cases are probably 19 so the message from the spanish government is that there are certain areas in spain that are much safer that countries like the u.k.
1:11 pm
so much i understand that that is the government is obviously as you just mentioned saying that parts of the country are worse than the others but what's it like across spain give us an idea if you can of where the virus is spreading and i mean what the numbers are. yes well the 3 main hotspots of the 2nd so-called 2nd wave of coronavirus all break right now on the region of iraq on the region of madrid and the region of catalonia where we are where we are based here today so much this week and. high number of new infections 501 in the past 24 hours it tripled the cases this is why the government the government has put measures in place that will be active will be gone today. making the mandatory use off of mass they're limiting the the gatherings up to 10 people close in terraces bars and nightclubs at 1 30 in the morning this might not seem very very unusual but you know that spain night live is also part of our economy so
1:12 pm
these limitations are very important for also for our economy there also have 3 opens the field hospital that was active during the coronavirus outbreak that was helping those supporting the health care services. they want to reopen just in case they need to send more patients there for what we are so far as we have seen the new people the infected than of coronaviruses the 2nd wave are john people are people between 18 and 40 years old the profile is completely different we have seen all these people are socializing i'm not i'm not taken seriously all this social distancing measures or monetary measures of the uselessness itself mask last night we went out with a group of young people we interviewed them we heard what their what their point of view was so let's hear what they told us yesterday. relaxed a little has changed for the youth of birth and on arsons a crown of ours crisis despite 3 months of strict lockdown in c.t.
1:13 pm
the familiar with the return to deal social habits. is 19 years old choose if you seem to follow the government's social distancing measures or wear a mask which is now monday atory in public places anyone. to see people going through right now in your stream and we don't know when they going to close everything again and yet it's so much easier to strike close your eyes when you get to. the cut on government is trying the best to reach the junger generations in sending a clear message that. he would like to treat young people as citizens they are citizens like we are like we are all are so we all have their share on this so yes i mean maybe it's a bit harder to get the message through them but i think that the only way to make them feel responsible correspond so well over the whole situation because they are
1:14 pm
historic bid this message infection rates are very high for those between 18 and 44 years old and the youth are now being blamed with fueling a so-called 2nd wave. president of the torah has described the situation as spiritual he has said that in the next 10 days the corner virus outbreak is not contained tougher measures will have to be put in place july is usually the peak month of the tourist season in catalonia but only 25 percent of the hotels are open and more and more is evasions are being canceled every day. some restaurants will be open until september those trying to right out of the storm can't believe what they are witnessing afonso gomes has worked for 42 years as manager of this restaurant at the brothel on a very morning going on there's new tourism atoll markets and restaurants are empty it's very sad to witness never in my life have i seen a situation like this and i'm 65 years old and the spanish government is facing an
1:15 pm
uphill task convincing the world that this is a safe destination and the cup 19 is on the control it's going to be a tough and uncertain summer martha. martha donna. in india health experts say there's been a sharp increase in the number of corona virus infections largely due to poor infrastructure in the $48000.00 cases were reported on tuesday bringing the total number to more than 1500000 the regions of delhi maharashtra and the tamil nadu account for more than half the new cases it is the 3rd worst affected nation after the u.s. and brazil with more than 34000 deaths it is about forums in new delhi and explains why india's infection rates may be far higher than the official figures. the results are very much a reflection of what independent health experts have been saying for a long time now which is that because india is still not conducting enough tests it
1:16 pm
has one of the lowest per capita testing in the world that the real number of infections in india are at least 10 times the reported number and possibly even up to 40 times while the official number for mumbai is around 100000 again it's a fraction of the millions who. says have antibodies and the surveys very much in line with the last one which was done in the capital new delhi with the results last week showed that a quarter of its 20000000 people have antibodies have had a virus and here in delhi the cases have been coming down the last few weeks bought yesterday on tuesday. to explain why it's conducting hof the number of the most accurate. tests that it's capable of and conducting twice that number of tests which are as accurate so. that it's coming down. to
1:17 pm
conduct more tests and to conduct more tests all over the country the prime minister promised in the. retesting center. in mumbai not far from here in new delhi noida and also in kolkata to continue with this drive to test more people to have a more accurate picture of the situation in the country. muslim pilgrimage to mecca . has begun under very different circumstances this year millions usually travel to saudi arabia but for the 1st time in modern history worshippers from abroad are not allowed to take part no more than one. expected to attend is the kingdom's 2nd biggest source of oil bringing in billions of dollars for. public health. central queensland university in australia he's joining us now from sydney thank you very much indeed for giving us your time so obviously a big impact on such
1:18 pm
a significant event in the muslim calendar the highs but also we're seeing these surges particularly at the moment around parts of asia is it too simplistic to put this these searches done simply to the reopening of economies i thank you for having me i think i think really did we go here is that i think. the government have relaxed that it's took sons to early and it isn't being done because we have never actually flattened a cup of coffee in some countries some countries still struggling still picking up wheat with consisted of how do you reckon trees but even globally we have never flattened really full government food on to is that is texans i think those caused what we are seeing right now and you are right some countries of actual flatten that kind of like you know there's a pacific some countries are flattened but again we had with dick kisses still
1:19 pm
rising in that globally i think i think what we are seeing is pretty much as a result of that event if you flatten your car that doesn't mean that that's not in the virus because there's still going to be a kind of his audience and because we have seen in some countries like for example in australia we have in victoria because the size and so does that a 2nd wave right there so that's the reason that we're seeing that is that the government have relaxed their districts and still early as a medical researcher and a lecturer on how concerned are you that we're seeing science being defeated by populist politics. look i think i think i think does decide as part of it isn't it because because seriously that is a tough time hits. and unfortunately politics got into the way of public health and and here we are in a very tough and difficult situation and that is when politics sometime tend to
1:20 pm
have our rights. placed on the public health and we see is like that and i think that's that's why it's very important to to to put politics aside to put politics aside really full global community to come together and approach this outbreak despond that me. as a global community so that we can defeat this we need our life back we need our life back but unless we put away politics we going to going to know having this and i think does this is to. really prepare for how concerned are you as a scientist that this is setting a precedent that we are going to see more and more on different occasions different subjects that scientists are essentially pushed to one side by politics because politicians have been able to achieve that on this occasion with the results that we're now seeing. yeah yeah look i think i think i think it's good eve eve if we listen to science because science is science it doesn't know politics
1:21 pm
doesn't it doesn't know rejoin it it doesn't know create it doesn't all science is science the fact is the fact and i think that's something that i think if politicians going to listen to the science and listen to the expert opinions and really well because this set of people who understand the disease and i guess unless politicians understand. that these say people can make wrong decisions at a country level or at a regional level and we can see is like the kind of decisions we're seeing. we're moving we appreciate your expertise in this thank you very much indeed for joining us on al-jazeera thank you for having me. but more ahead in the news i'm including. when mr bush toured land that you will remember is very just a park be cleared and it was done and you said get it done grilled by politicians the u.s. attorney general defends the white house's heavy handed response to months of

1:23 pm
a several obstacles that could get in the way of the alliance. this resolution is the basis of some hope for officials in riyadh as well as washington who wanted to see the riyadh agreement successfully implemented but simply just declaring in a resolution that efforts will be accelerated to implement the riyadh agreements. doesn't mean it's going to be easy to do so the reason why it's been so difficult to implement it. since it was signed last year has to do with the fact that there are so many obstacles that make implementation very difficult the party use have very different interpretations of the riyadh agreement there are sensitive issues that the parties do not see eye to eye on i think the future of this relationship will be a very difficult one there are numerous reasons why that's the case one of them
1:24 pm
that i think is very important to keep in mind pertains to all is slaw which is the muslim brotherhood's yemeni franchise islam has played an important role as an ally of the hardy government but the s.t.c. views the muslim brotherhood linked group in yemen as a very dangerous group and is a big threat to the s.t.c. and if hardy's government in the s.t.c. will ever be able to see eye to eye on this question of what role is sly's to play in the future of yemen we don't know. hundreds of people were killed last year for defending the environment and in some cases for protecting their ancestral lands most of the attacks happened in latin america that's according to a report by the environmental group global witness out of more than 200 reported killings 641 in colombia and dozens more in brazil's amazon region in the
1:25 pm
philippines the majority of aids 43 murders were linked to agriculture that's an increase of more than 40 percent compared to the year before the report outlines the escalation may be linked to activists becoming more outspoken in fighting climate change illegal mining and deforestation or rachel cox is a campaigner global witness and she's joining us live from london by skype good to have you on the program thank you very much indeed for being with us why is it happening spend it specifically in these areas. well it's so much of what is driving attacks in camber in the philippines is also a driving attacks elsewhere in the world communities on the front lines of business projects speaking out against pollution environmental damage or displacement caused by business projects unethical business culture and global consumer demands
1:26 pm
together drive a kind of small cost big profit mentality which sees businesses teachings of by avalanche e.p. and quickly without ensuring affected communities are properly consulted a compensated so behind many of the attacks. are trends also in the restriction of of civil space and by that i mean the ability of communities to peacefully protest of what's criticism against government or companies. and we're seeing increasing use of force both by state forces and by private. private act to kind of quietly sabotage the freedoms of communities that speak out so you know we've seen that particularly when it comes to the philippines in recent legislation that's been passed like the anti terror law which has left governments open to left got leave governments to really. their label
1:27 pm
any critics as a terrorist and you know as unbelievable as that sounds that climate activists today can be deemed as a threat to national security we know that just last week members of legitimate she rights organizations people that they were witnesses where we have seen their faces parted on posters calling them terrorists you know crossing over to colombia they're also specific trends in the country to take care around challenging that the government facing challenges of implementing parts of the 2016 peace agreement which has led to the increased increase risks for communities. and much of this is done to increase pressure from governments and corporations and high. much of it as we mentioned before might be done to the environmental campaigners speaking out more loudly and making themselves for want of a better phrase more obvious targets when it comes to being critical of those corporations and the government. well i mean it's interesting if you break down
1:28 pm
our city of 16 you look at who is being targeted specifically within the subset of defenders that we work with which to land environmental activists we can see that indigenous peoples in particular are repeatedly shown to be a disproportionate risk of reprisals so last year 40 percent of victims belong to indigenous belongs indigenous communities are reporting has shown that this is consistently the case so for example our data shows that tween 20152019 over a 3rd of all faiths who attacks targeted least edition of people globally now considering their any 5 percent of the world's population these figures are a vast in comparison and you know some of the reasons behind why these communities may be more risk are senshi down so where resources are you know indigenous peoples are more likely to be attacked because the resources that their communities own occupier use often coveted by businesses and governments who have a financial interest in the same area of land so if project boundaries are the
1:29 pm
front lines then it's the communities here who are voicing opposition to a project or criticizing governments and investors that are enabling the project to their heads these are the people whether it's an indigenous warning colombia fighting against a coal mine or you know the save our schools movement in the philippines which is a movement of indigenous children trying to both protect land rights and the right to self-determination these communities their final selves on the front lines say you know it's your question it's a combination of yes people speaking out but it's a specific subgroup of environmental and land offenders who are being specifically targeted rachel calls from global witness we appreciate it thank you very much indeed thank you. and that's time for the weather and the jammies here as summer finally returned so you're right it has finally yes it's been very
1:30 pm
long awaited although i have to warn everybody it's fairly short lived but yes this is talk about a nice warm sunshine because it is summer has been for last couple of months you can see on the satellite plains you could please guys across much of the south and indeed across much of sense europe as well but there's also a lot of cloud with some rain just waiting when these when the wings across the northwest but in the meantime central europe into the swiss alps it is very nice it's warm and sunny and in fact people trying to cool down into southern romania because of course the heat is on and a similar story into the central public though people using the river to cool off now there is still some pretty good weather across many of those regions as we go through wednesday but you'll also notice this line of blue this is where the rain will be it will be 3 from northern italy and then extending up into ukraine belarus and western as the russia fairly unsettled the rest of wednesday to across much of scandinavia his the next system heading in towards the northwest however it doesn't make a great deal of headway because we've actually got this little ridge of high pressure which literally nudges up into more central regions of the u.k.

increase in nationwide covered 1000 deaths since may more than 1200 deaths were recorded on tuesday the death toll is now fast approaching 150000 the state of florida is one of the worst hit it's seen a record number of fatalities in the past 24 hours my cannas in washington d.c. and he reports on the reasons behind the rising rates the rate of infection says continuing to surge as indeed is the death rate but the state's governor under center says insisting that things are getting better he maintains that there is a lag in terms of the reporting which is resulting in the spike in mortality you said he says that within days the and its mortality rate will begin to drop but this may be optimism according to the figures that we are seeing florida is now the most infected state after california which still leads the way in which the infection is still running strong as in other western states such as texas and
1:41 pm
arkansas but remarkably president trump held a briefing in the course of the day and he contends that there is a downward shift in states like california and arkansas all this is simply not borne out by the figures that we are seeing texas for example has just reported a massive increase in its mortality figures now this may be because they changed the method of reporting however it is still a significant spike in the number of deaths recorded over 24 hour period so the position looking exceedingly bleak continues to look so not only in states like florida but in a number of other states across this country more than half of the states continuing to show increases in the rate of infection. after months of lockdown chile has begun lifting restrictions in parts of its capital but some medical experts say the government is not following recommendations from the world health

organization in america at its embassy in yemen was more. free at last from monday to friday residents of 7 affluent m.p.i. would neighborhoods are finally free to leave their homes to take their children out and to get exercise and nobody is happier than the elderly after 4 months they're now allowed out for an hour 3 times a week at a museum and for me this is wonderful why because if i don't then i will forget how to walk forget how to have a conversation forget places that i would frequent to go shopping. footpaths have been marked to encourage social distancing a traffic light and 2 lanes marked so pedestrians will walk on the right side of the street but many ignore them and medical experts say the government is also ignoring the w.h.o. guidelines for deep confinement that he claims to be following them they aren't even following the recommendations of their own advisory committee which was
1:43 pm
