the u.s. accounts for just under a face with more than $8000000.00 making it statistically the worst hit country in the in the world it's closely followed by india a country that is trying to improve the number of tests it can carry out and 10300000 cases are in latin america with 5 countries those of brazil argentina colombia peru and mexico accounting for 80 percent of them well let's go live now to monica who joins us live from rio de janeiro so monica tell us more about the picture in brazil and also crucially about news of an experimental vaccine which of course is the kind of news we all want to hear right now. well yes well brazil in latin america is the leading country it's the 2nd it's the world's 2nd largest hotspot in terms of fatalities 154000. approximately and in terms of infections it's the 3rd country after the u.s.

in india with 3000000 to more than 3000000 infections the vaccine it's but it's also a hub for vaccines and vaccine testing the one that is ahead of all is of the chinese one produced by sin of back and it's called corona vacuum has already been tested on 9001000 people they've received 2 doses and it's proved to be safe with very little side effects but what they really are worried now is to see how effective it is and i've spoken to a researcher who said that they are expecting vaccines to be like 50 percent 60 percent effective not 100 percent brazil also is testing is also working with the russians on the russian vaccine which they hope to have by the end of the year and also with astra zeneca so there are 3 vaccines that are expected to be in use here

and monica i mean you told us a little bit about brazil it's quite staggering that latin america and its own as well has more than 10000000 cases paint us a picture of what it's like across the continent because it really does seem to be focused on a few countries. well yes it's they've had very different answers to the pandemic euro why in paraguay i were like the examples but they're small countries your god is very small and has very little cases it's like the new zealand let's put it this way of latin america argentina which had a very much stronger stance than brazil because it didn't it didn't minimise the pandemic now it's seeing infections go up so would that's what's worrying. with the latest from rio de janeiro monica as always thank you. there ron has

the moment so many people that we've spoken to say staying home for them is just not an option they have to make a living so the traffic that we see on a regular basis in the capital one of the busiest provinces in the country continues despite this outbreak even though people are the majority of people that we see across the city where masked there are still many people who go about their daily business and they try to earn a living many of the taxi drivers that we spoke to say they just can't afford to stay home they have to earn their day's wages because there is absolutely no help financial aid from the government during this pandemic chief palestinian negotiator saeb erekat to is in a critical condition in an israeli hospital where he's being treated for complications after catching covert 19 at a cat is on a ventilator and has been placed into a medically induced coma after being taken to hospital on sunday the 65 year old has a history of respiratory problems and received a long transplant in the u.s.

the u.s. government is expected to remove sudan from its list of state sponsors of terrorism president donald trump says the move will take place once khartoum compensates american victims and their families this is what he tweeted great news new government of sudan which is making great progress agreed to pay $335000000.00 to u.s. terror victims and families once deposited i would lift sudan from the state sponsors of terrorism list at long last justice for the american people and the big step forward for sudan to cross live now to even morgan who is in khartoum forest give us a little bit more context 1st of all that i'm guessing you know what reaction to what the sudanese government itself has said and how significant is all of this. yes indeed barbara now just a few minutes after the read by the u.s.

president donald trump the sudanese prime minister abdullah also tweeted out thanking the u.s. president and saying that this is quite a significant step for sudan now this is something that this transitional administration which came to power last august has been working on since it came to power it's had several talks with the with their u.s. counterparts the prime minister of the travel to the united states in december just a few months after coming into office the u.s. secretary of state my pumper was here at the end of august and he also met with the prime minister and they discussed the issue of lifting sudan off the u.s. list of states sponsoring terrorism and that's because being on that list has had a deep impact on sudan's economy now so the animals on that list since $99.00 to $3.00 plays there by the clinton administration which accused the sudanese government bag them under on one of bashir of supporting terrorism now as part of the deal between the u.s. administration and the current transitional government sudan will be paying the terror of victims victims of terror attacks on u.s.

embassies in nairobi in kenya and in derry saddam's hands and yet as well as victims and families of victims. and over and over a terror attack on the u.s. navy in the course of now they've agreed that the total sum would be $335000000.00 that this was this was a result of an out of court settlements sudan has said that it is ready and has the money ready to pay the victims of the the victims and the families of the terror attacks now this would open way once sudan is lifted depositing that amount of money to the victims of the terror attacks this would open a way for sudan to be able to clear its areas with the i.m.f. and the world bank as well as to try to attract foreign investment that's because the country is in desperate need of foreign aid foreign currency or hard currency and foreign investment its economy has been crippled as a result of being. on the list of us states sponsoring terrorism and so the government has been trying very hard to get its name out of that list now

a few steps remain for the for the whole process to be formalized as the us president he said the money has to be deposited into u.s. banks and to the victims of the terror attacks before it's lifted off that list but for now it seems like this is the more significant step especially because it seems that the the wish of the sudanese government to have the issue of being lifted of the state sponsored terrorism list is the link from the issue of normalizing with israel that's something that the u.s. government has been trying to pursue them to do and that is something that the sudanese government says it has no mandate so for now it seems that it has been dealings and that the steps are moving forward in terms of delisting sudan of the list of states sponsoring terrorism and this is so we look at the some $335000000.00 i mean on the face of it obviously not a negligible sum but you're saying that actually economically this would be in sudan's advantage what reaction to all of this from ordinary sudanese people.

not everyone is happy they are glad that sudan will be lifted of delisted from the list of state sponsored terrorism but many people are condemning the move by the transitional government to pay victims of terror attacks especially when more than half of the country's 43000000 population live below the poverty line now the inflation in this country has been rising steeply in january alone it was just over 50 percent and last month asked by the national bureau of statistics it's gone over 230 percent many people can no longer afford the daily or daily meals or 3 to our meals 3 times a day we've seen market prices rising we've seen people queuing up for bread and fuel that is something that has led to government protests that are said to form a government but the transitional government is saying that the reason why all these economic crisis are there is because of the lack of foreign currency the other concern is that when when the u.s. president moves forward with lifting sudan off the list of states sponsoring terrorism becomes the issue of legal peace now sudan still can be pursued by

victims of other terror attacks which accuse it or who accuse it of being involved in any terror attacks sudan has been urging the u.s. administration to push the congress to grant the country legal piece so that it is that it is not pursued by more terror attacks that could result in its paying more money especially victims of $911.00 who have been a lobbying their congressmen and senators to not lift a dam of the s.s.t. so it's still a long journey quite a significant tweet from the u.s. president welcomed by the u.s. government with people want to see the actual steps being taken and see its impact on the ground here morgan with the latest on that story from her to him he thank you. still to come in this half hour venezuelan migrants on the move again there's borders reopened but now they are joining in harder with colombians banned from helping them and this thailand's prime minister urges protesters to rally peacefully the government looks to clamp down on social media.
