skyrocket even higher if it doesn't take more steps to control a pandemic brazil has the 2nd highest death toll with more than 90000 deaths and the u.k. is 3rd with around 46000 virus related deaths confirmed so far. well we can join mike hanna is live for us in washington d.c. so mike it's been quite a. i'm not sure we got to mike have we yes we have a mike quite a drastic figure for the united states. well indeed and the use figures are gone past 150000 mark obviously huge huge concern but the disease trends are somewhat mixed at the moment there has been a slight drop in infections but the crease in mortality rate so what many are concerned about is that we. put the. leg there is

a leg in terms of what is happening in terms of actually getting the infections happening and then the consequent mortality rate rising but once again you are looking at a slight drop as i said in terms of the rates of infections across the united states but at the same time you're seeing this uptick in at least 9 states in the mortality rate so we have just heard a report from the association of medical colleges a very big association representing all american university colleges in this country and it says that it's absolutely essential that some kind of nationwide strategy is applied particularly with regard to the wearing of the mask which is being decided on a state by state and sometimes county by county basis it also says there are critical shortfalls in testing programs there are critical shortfalls in terms of returning the results of the tests it says that there needs to be at least

$2000000.00 tests being conducted today with the return of the results within hours however the stage the rate of testing is way below their beliefs then harp so there are all these issues that american medical association is saying can only be resolved through some kind of nationwide plan being put in place and this certainly has not happened at this particular point the association warning that the death rate could rise in the 10s of thousands in the week. to come if an immediate national strategy is not adapted so certainly a very very grave warning being issued there mike hanna thank you very much indeed . for the us outbreak has been fueled by conspiracy theories and misinformation around cures and the effectiveness of face masks and it was an issue raised with c.e.o.'s of the 4 big tech companies during testimony on capitol hill the chief

executives of facebook google amazon and apple were being questioned at a hearing over accusations of anti competitive behavior this is how facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg responded when asked about the role his organization could play in stopping the spread of misinformation or if we do prohibit content that will lead to imminent risk of harm and stating that there is a proven cure for coverage when there is in fact none might encourage them to take something that could have some adverse effect so we do take that down. fisher joins us live now from washington d.c. so you think on that issue of coronavirus misinformation the that the hearing got the answers it wanted. i depends on what side of the fence see you're sitting on i think the whole question of censorship is something that has been raised repeatedly by the republicans they certainly asked mark zuckerberg why did you hate it why did you censor donald trump to achieve replied well that happened

on twitter surprise she better go and ask them which perhaps gives an insight into how some of the senior republicans perhaps understand social media but on and done their stand of the individual platforms the tech companies are here because there is concern that they run monopolies that they are driving small businesses into the groan that they are decimating the main streets the high streets in the united states and that they are not being challenged anough and so this is the antitrust hearing the antitrust subcommittee and the trying to establish some of the business practices that go on but of course questions are being asked about censorship and whether or not conservative voices a feature prominently enough inset engines whether or not some social media platforms don't do enough. we weed out those controversial voices that come from abroad that try to influence. various elections across the united states

certainly we have from the chairman david cicilline right at the start of the hearing and he made it clear that essentially as far as he's concerned when it comes to this hearing the big 4 tech companies are on trial. and alan in terms of the antitrust haring alan not sure he can still hear me and the terms of the antitrust terry how much power does this particular committee or this hearing have in terms of making a difference. well as we know washington will start to run very slowly in the next couple of months as we get closer to the election but what is interesting here is that both sides republicans and also democrats are raising questions about apple and amazon and google and facebook and how they conduct their business there is one telling point jerry nadler who's the chair of the judiciary committee the full committee he asked mark zuckerberg about the part of instagram and he said look the reason you bought it is you saw it was

a competitor that goes to the very heart of what antitrust anticompetitive laws are all the boat and so you could understand that this committee which has been gathering evidence for a number of months is concerned about the business situation of many of these giants and on the back of that what they're saying is that they're going to conduct hearings in september so this is a clear message to the tech companies and we saw it also in a tweet from donald trump today that if the senate if the house of representatives doesn't do something about it then he will take executive action to do that and so what they're saying to the tech companies is look we know there are issues here view health problems you can turn around and say we're american businesses we're in the veto we actually encourage competition but if you don't start to put your house in order very soon then we will start to take action that does not for you that's something that the tech giants don't want to do so you can understand why there is concern from them really laying down a marker to do this for big companies and to other tech companies as well if you

don't change your ways we'll change it for you and you have too much power this power staves off new forms of competition creativity and innovation and while these dumb reforms may still produce some new innovative products their dominance is killing the small businesses and factoring in the overall dynamism out of the engines of the american economy. thanks john fisher there coming up on this news hour. 14000000 people at risk of hunger a dire warning as latin america reels from the impact of the groaner virus pandemic . unimaginable abuse allegations of rights violations against refugees trying to reach the mediterranean. and his sport would leave football action from italy as one of the game's biggest stars inspires ac milan to victory.

united states has announced plans to pull nearly a 3rd of america's military personnel out of germany president donald trump flak the move back in june amid a dispute with germany over its defense spending nearly half of the 12000 personnel will be moved to other locations in europe including italy poland and the baltics are white house correspondent committee how could explains. making good on its threat to the u.s. announced a withdrawal of almost 12000 u.s. soldiers from germany it's a move the defense secretary insists will improve the military partnership between north american and european allies. i think we are we are excited about where we're going and what it will mean in terms of our ability to enhance to turn strengthen up the straight to the lines in the process the cuts will reduce us forces unsurety

oppose removing u.s. troops from germany fearing it will weaken regional stability and nato is capacity to push back against russia. the plan to withdraw u.s. troops from germany is expected to cost billions and could take years to execute and could be reversed if president does not win reelection in november can't really help it al-jazeera the white house. says every city and province in the country is at risk of a corona virus outbreak is seeing a small but mounting number of infections after being virus free for months hong kong and thailand also raising the alarm as case numbers grow in parts of asia which have been praised for effectively tackling the pandemic it's called honda has more from bangkok. vietnam has been viewed as a success story during the coded 1000 pandemic through centralized quarantine and strict contact tracing the country of 95000000 people had no deaths from the

more experience in combating the virus and its face waves this time i think you also passed quite soon because we have experience and in hong kong which so far has been spared from a high number of cases the city's leader is warning of a potential large scale outbreak after local transmissions surged the most strict measures since the outbreak began were enacted on wednesday for at least a week no gatherings of more than 2 people and no dining in restaurants thailand has also been viewed as a success story with no locally transmitted cases in more than 60 days time officials are no doubt looking nervously at their neighbors after these recent spikes in cases of covert 90 that's because the government here has also encouraged domestic travel and tourism to help the ailing economy al-jazeera bangkok. france is also reporting a surge in corona virus infections with more than 1300 new cases confirmed on wednesday the country's health minister has urged the country not to drop its gone

against the virus give it home claims the increase is partly due to increased testing. has more than 221900 cases well in half of coronavirus patients who were put on a ventilator in germany died from the disease a study of 10000 patients also revealed that those who had to be put on a mechanical ventilator stayed in hospital for twice as long as those who didn't the lead researcher said older and sicker people were mainly affected but warned younger people also had serious complications the study also showed that while men were almost twice as likely to need a ventilator the mortality rate between genders was similar. the u.k. government has been criticised by m.p.'s for devising hospitals to discharge thousands of patients into care homes without knowing if they had coronavirus across party committee says the initial decision was quote reckless and appalling

it also accuses ministers of being slow to support social care during the crisis around 25000 patients were sent to care homes in england in march and april to free up hospital beds for a choses outside parliament and says the m.p.'s want to make sure the same mistakes are made again the public accounts committee is across party body of m.p.'s that scrutinises government policy and this report has been looking at whether mistakes were made in the health and social care aspects of the government's response to corona virus and they say yes there were and there were several one of them particularly was the policy back in late march and the 1st half of april when there was an expected almost slaughter of coronavirus cases the government needed to free up as many hospital beds as possible and it did this by discharging people who were deemed medically fit now many of these 25000 in fact were sent from

hospitals to the care homes that they come from elderly people without being tested for coronavirus we don't know what the death toll was as a result of this bartz the number of people who died in care homes was huge and the report has said that this was a reckless piece of policy making we can hear now from a killer who's the committee's chair. it was an appalling era just assume you could take people out of hospital which was in itself not a bad thing but then just to put them into care homes without the right protection around them and what was really bad was when this became more apparent so you know the government has a thirst we perhaps weren't sure about it well you can argue about that but when it became more apparent there wasn't really then a solution on the proper support and yet the minister was talking about a ring of support around care homes they feel empty words now when you know what happened people dying alone without their family they're really tragic one of the purposes of this report is to try to make sure that the mistakes that were made

early on in the coronavirus pandemic repeated by the british government when it comes to a 2nd wave if and when that happens and so the committee is asking the governments to make sure that it gets back to them with a response to its criticisms and recommendations by the beginning of september. the world food program is warning that the pandemic means millions of people in latin america could get hungry this year and the problem is getting worse it's estimated that up to 14000000 people in the region a threatened with food insecurity as the outbreak adds to economic migration and climate pressures on food supply many of those at risk are informal workers who make up a large part of latin america's workforce the u.n. agency is urging governments to expand relief efforts. co-dependent has just been devastating and let in america who are already dealing with economic deterioration in many different issues but kobe has come on top of it just in the areas where debbie f.p. in this region alone we've seen

a substantial increase in overall 11000000 people that are marching toward the brink of starvation so it's devastating this why we must act and we must act now so that we can bring some hope to people of the larger political destabilization mass migration economic deterioration supply chain disruption in many people starve in addition to code itself i want to. live in mexico city so may i quote a stark warning on the issue of hunger in latin america. certainly so and what we're hearing from world food program officials is that there is this expectation that there will be upwards of 14000000 people who will be food in secure in 2020 that's 4 times the number recorded in the previous year and there's this expectation that if governments aren't doing more and we can point to a few hotspots in latin america as as showing alarming rates of contagion in south america there's there's peru colombia ecuador we can point to central american

countries which apart from the kobe $1000.00 pandemic are going through a drought which is worsening the food insecurity program countries like haiti and the dominican republic that are especially hit hard by code 19 what we're learning is that the economic impact that follows from the pandemic itself is almost like a domino effect and we heard that from that sound bite from the director of the world food program saying that the health crisis leads to an economic crisis leads to a social crisis and can lead to further deterioration of society but no country in latin america compares to what's happening in brazil and i just want to run through the latest numbers in brazil because brazil has surpassed 2400000 confirmed cases of copd 19 the death toll stands at 8539 as of wednesday according to johns hopkins university now there are some bright spots and there are some rays of hope certain policies that are making things better you can point to a stopgap welfare program in brazil that has in

a very short period of time actually had a very significant impact in poverty reduction in the 1st 6 months of the year there was a reduction in extreme poverty from 6.2 percent of the population to 3.3 percent of the population so while that does seem at least on the surface as a sort of positive side effect of the pandemic the ongoing arguably the worsening pandemic in brazil what we're hearing from experts is that it's a short term solution it's not a it's not a solution it's a stopgap and this isn't something that can be applied region. it can't be applied everywhere and if you look at it at countries that are reopening their economies you can look at mexico for example it's a struggle that's happening here in the country where the government is trying to strike that balance between public health and the health of the economy and in doing so there's this sense that it's inevitable that further lockdowns in a return to lockdown will be necessary when you're up a thank you very much annual muslim pilgrimage to mecca known as the hog

has begun but this is unlike any seen before millions of people usually travel to saudi arabia but the coronavirus means where shippers from abroad have been banned to mash airports. they've been coming in their millions every year from all over the world muslim pilgrims fulfilling a lifetime dream to perform one of their religions 5 main pillars. the sea of people waves upon waves in the gulf in this city of mecca has become an image synonymous with the holy city. but this year it's completely different the coronavirus pandemic has meant the pilgrims are not able to travel saudi authorities have put under lockdown they've said only $1000.00 people will be allowed to perform hajj all of them either nationals or residents of saudi arabia. the annual pilgrimage is

a huge source of revenue for the saudi government overall there is little transparency from riyadh on how much exactly it brings in estimates put the figure in the billions of dollars. losing out on that as well as all the money from those who would usually perform the smaller pilgrimage of alright during the rest of the year is a big setback i think it's very significant because so here yes and influence in the islamic world is mainly that i've found 2 factors that guest one is being the host and the custodian of the boredom was and the organizer of the mosque and what that ritualistic joining is i'll just ice 2020 has already been a tough year for the kingdom with oil prices reaching an all time low after a trade war with russia that saw the price of a barrel go as low as 27 dollars to make things even worse the covert $1000.00 pandemic has increased economic pressure on saudi arabia even more forcing the government to increase taxes and reduce salaries while many are commending saudi

authorities for their decision to prohibit pilgrims to travel to mecca this year there are those who are critical questions are being asked about how the 1000 people being allowed to perform hajj are chosen and will there be a fair distribution of house passes to all nationalities living in the kingdom and so now or thirties have failed to provide any information. in the past people of scrutinize saudi arabia for failing to deal with the huge crowds that converge on the holy city on far too many occasions people have died due to stampede or failure by the government to safeguard the security like when a construction crane fell on worshippers in 2015 this year the criticism is over the arts failure to deal with small crowds in a clear and transparent manner. i just. u.s. federal agents will be withdrawn from the city of portland following weeks of clashes between the offices and protesters oregon's governor says the federal

government has agreed to remove the agents in phases they were called in to help control anti racism and police brutality demonstrations but anger quickly shifted towards their presence and claims they were using excessive force or john hendren joins us live from chicago john what led to this particular announcement. well that portland model was widely considered a failure what you had was a large number of federal agents with no particular markings on them it just said police on some of their uniforms and they were supposed to be protecting a one block area a federal courthouse but instead they were going out and actually capturing people who had committed such small acts as graffiti and they were as video showing them being being people with big tongs and using tear gas and being very very aggressive in the governor of oregon and the mayor of portland both asked for those federal

troops to be removed and now it looks like they've cut a deal with the department of homeland security and other federal agencies whereby they will gradually withdraw starting this thursday and instead a small group of federal officials will remain there and they'll guard that building focused on the inside of that block and that state police from oregon would take over the surrounding area where the governor's says they will continue to allow people to exercise their free speech rights now wall this is happening the president of the united states has sent out troops to a number of other cities including here in chicago albuquerque was another one kansas city was another one here in chicago we got $200.00 federal troops and we are told that they are simply going to be operating on a behind the scenes basis they're going to insist they assist in the investigation of ongoing crime now trump would like to link those crimes to the protests but what

has really happened is you've got gang related in other violence in the streets of a number of killings here in chicago and in other cities have gone up that is really what those federal troops are now being sent out to do it appears that they have abandoned that portland model and meanwhile we're told today that cleveland detroit. and milwaukee all will receive troops but the total number of troops there will be fewer than $100.00 not enough to be seen on the streets so once again people behind the scenes doing investigative work on the u.s. president is also another initiative he says will reduce crime tell us about that. that's right the president of the united states tweeted today i'm happy to inform all of the people living in the living this their suburban lifestyle dream that you will no longer be bothered or financially hurt by having low income housing built in your neighborhood you know what that's about as in 1968 fair housing law that

was designed to de segregate neighborhoods well in 1002015 the obama administration strengthened that law by saying any locality that received federal funds was required to proactively integrate those neighborhoods and ensure that there was low income housing president trump you were saying never mind about all that now there are some important politics behind that president trump one his election in 2016 largely on the strength of suburbs around cities like philadelphia helping him to win key states like pennsylvania michigan wisconsin what's happened now though is that a lot of people in the suburbs in polls are showing their dislike for trump his popularity has gone down in those areas and this seems to be a pretty bald faced plea to get people in the suburbs to support him because he's going to keep low income housing out of their neighborhoods jesus and that would keep their property values up john 100 thank you very much indeed. still to come

sanofi the us and e.u. have also made purchasing agreements with pharma companies that are working on vaccines and russia says it could begin producing its own coronavirus vaccine as early as september. when i joined by thomas j. the council of foreign relations director of the global health program like so much d. for being with us just on the issue of the of the race towards a vaccine in particular that with russia's announcement that's come today the head of the russian direct investment fund has said that the minister of health in russia is following all necessary strict which a procedure is no corner as it being cut but how concerned are you that that things are moving too quickly in the development of the vaccines i'm concerned the russian development has really happened over the span of a couple of months that's quite quickly according to press reports suits involved soldiers produce baby who could trial so there is a risk that that was done non-voluntary only and we viewers need to understand and

policymakers more importantly need to understand is that what stake at stake here is not just this pandemic a bad outcome from a vaccine one only undermine a response to this pandemic remind undermined the utility of vaccines moving forward and that's a real concern because i can judge fundamentally changed public health yet how i mean how much has the efforts in all these different countries to come up with a vaccine becomes more of a national a matter of national prestige rather than an endeavor to help the world. well i certainly think governments are racing and there are one per this pandemic process as worked well as been the research and development we have over $160.00 candidates in the pipeline $25.00 in clinical trials and 5 in late stage clinical trials that's remarkable in 6 months so that is quite positive and scientists seem to be collaborating need the governments unfortunately are not at this point and as you

mentioned a number of made quite large purchases the u.s. itself has made $6000000000.00 in advance purchase commitments on that scenes so we don't have the clabber issue you see from that standpoint and they really are competing about not just who can discover a vaccine 1st but who gets it 1st so i mean if countries were to share that their supplies of axes with with other countries does that not then undermine the issue of if how many people within a particular cut share of x. they did it you need a threshold of people to put to be effective. you do need a threshold and it's perfectly understandable that governments want to address their priority domestic needs the question is are they going to vaccinate their entire population even low risk members before you're willing to share and that is frankly what has happened in the past in 2009 in the h one n one pandemic wealthy nations purchased all the supplies of the new vaccine and

only shared it once it became clear that they could back sydney well 2 things one that the virus wasn't as deadly as people thought and 2nd that they could backs me their populations early in this crisis 70 country sees local supplies of medical equipment that was rolled into 19 but the us has already bought up 3 months of stock of rim disappear so it is a real possibility that they will go beyond just what needs to be done to address priority populations and really consume all supplies through the early period and if they continue to do that what's the likely impact on the kind of the tree of the pandemic. so why don't prolong it in countries that don't have access it means millions of health workers critical health workers waiting months and potentially longer to receive back scenes that means health systems may collapse or

come close to collapsing that's not exaggeration that's of course what we saw to some extent in italy and other systems where the entire whole system becomes overwhelmed you see an extension of the economic impact the worst case scenario people have out there is that this pandemic could kill $40000000.00 people worldwide it could cost $12.00 trillion dollars in economic damage it is in every one every nation's interest that we have heard that no way that can happen is if we should vaccines thomas table he thank you very much and thank you my pleasure. the thousands of refugees trying to reach the mediterranean are facing stream rights abuses including torture sexual attacks and even death according to the un which says nearly half of the violence is perpetrated by those supposed to enforce the law and brian has more. harrowing journey through the desert to libya and
