10:06 pm
including the ones that they've been confirming as they go. and they've changed, as the pandemic has gone. now, peru who's changed. it hasn't just counted the confirmed s, it's also the excess test now and that's ultimately rocketed the number up and it's a bit of a bomb show in that country. now, why is this happened? there seems to be a number of different factors, one of which is that the public health system doesn't seem to be a top level in that country. and that's something that we've been heard hearing and being reported on throughout the pandemic. also, a lot of people seem to be going out into public space is not closed over crowding . actually when the pandemic at 1st sort of kicked off the peruvian president at that time, and that was quite a hard line locked down. but it seemed like a lot of people just didn't agree with that or didn't go along with it. and so peruvians have been heading out onto the streets in the country. so for a long time now, proof been one of the worst affected countries in the world per capita. and this is
10:07 pm
obviously just exacerbated things. absolutely. and so let's talk about football. now we all know that latin americans are quite football crazy and the corporate america football championship that was meant to be in argentina has now been moved to brazil. and i think it's just 13 days before kick off. but of course brazil, not necessarily in a position some would say to hold that kind of championship. yeah, it was originally moved from didn't tina because didn't seen it was having a lot of covey cases. so they've actually moved it to brazil, which has one of the highest totals of covey cases in the world. so a lot of people are questioning that decision, especially within brazil, one sen, coud it, the championship of death. and a lot of people are asking why that's happened. of course, president bull sonata, of brazil for a long time. now in the pandemic has been sort of down playing the effects of cove . it a one time he called it just

a little flew. and it's been saying that the country has to get on with business as normal. i should, she mentioned as well, that colombia was one of the other host of this tournament. and it said it couldn't do that because of internal protests. so now it looks like we are all going towards brazil. there will be empty stadiums is what we understand so far. we're not going to see an army of funds from different countries. it doesn't seem like they're going to be arriving in brazil, but just the thought of things coming in from across the continent. there's not a lot of time to vaccinate them, especially to give them 2 doses of the vaccine at this point descending on the country. i think a lot of people with in brazil, a seeing as, as a sort of an in. so how can the country be doing this be welcoming this torment when it's having its own struggle with the pandemic struggle that's been going on for quite some time. now as we understand several states has said that they don't want gains to be held the other meds and other state leaders a going on with this and saying that they are okay with games happening. and of course brazil has recently held its own,
10:09 pm
woke up so it does have the infrastructure in terms of stadiums. to do this, i think it's more of a messaging dilemma for the government at the moment. you know, the messaging coming out of brazil i guess, has been problematic throughout this pandemic. john holeman with the latest from mexico city. thank you. on the you end world food program is warning. the conflict in ethiopia is troubled at nor than t. grade region has increased already high levels of hunger. the agency says that after more than 6 months of fighting 5200000 people now need emergency food aid. that's more than 90 percent of the population, with many regional leaders warning over potential humanitarian catastrophe. the u. s. has appealed for $203000000.00 to scale up its response. it's already helped more than a 1000000 people since it started distributing food in areas around the p gray in

10:13 pm
of palestine. this is completely in man made dissolved, it was from bob meant by the is where the regime of a besieged people. this isn't an environmental tragedy. this has there is a direct, a graphic in this situation. and whilst i'm sure reconstruction efforts are deeply needed. busy in gaza we must always remind us of why that is the case. the case is because the israeli regime has deliberately targeted civilian infrastructure and have killed over $250.00 pounds estonians including $66.00 children in the lakes. the so and so i think the own us has to be on the responsibility of israel and also european state complicity in failing to hold accountable and for granting israel impunity for many, many decades. so the come on al jazeera,

10:19 pm
they're facing and illegal migration crisis on the u. s. southern border. and in order to deal with that, the bite and ministration feels that they need to engage with the regional allies, particularly here in central america to do 2 things, try to get a strategy for the southern border. but beyond that, to really deal with the root causes of illegal migration, why do people approve their lives here to take the dangerous journey north to try to find a better life in the united states. and so he's here to talk to a leaders about that trying to build on democracy programs here. also part of biden administration for $1000000.00 effort to the countries in central america to try to improve the economies here. so people feel they no longer need to take that dangerous journey north and they can have a better life here in the countries of central america. so that is very much going to be the focus migration over the next day or 2. yeah,
10:20 pm
and finding the root cause is not going to be uneasy. feet, i mean, the economy is one of course, but you know, criminality, criminal gangs. obviously another one of the main challenges is going to face in the region. overall as central america is different than it was in previous years, many of the countries here are no longer saying automatically yes to whatever washington wants. the countries you're speaking with independent different voices that are sometimes in contrary to us interests. and there is some hostility with several countries in central america, not so much here in costa rica, which is a strong us ally. but countries like el salvador, honduras, guatemala, all have presidents. that are, that are hostile, if you will, to the united states. president honduras, as a matter of fact, is under investigation in the us for drug trafficking, something that he denies, but his brother is in jail in the united states for drug trafficking. so
10:21 pm
a lot of these issues of corruption that you're seeing in central america and the united states identifies as, as a big problems here on why people feel they need to leave to make that dangerous journey to the united states. so this will come ahead of vice president, come on harris visiting guatemala and mexico next week, all part of a renewed effort by the, by the ministration. i renewed effort of urgency to try to reengage countries here in central america to deal with the economies down here. corruption, but also deal with the migration crisis that they're facing on the southern border . just last month, a 178000 people were held at the u. s. southern border trying to enter the us illegally. out of those about 50 percent came from just 3 countries in central america, el salvador, honduras in guatemala. so it gives you an idea of how big the bite administration
