hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: boris johnson's special adviser, dominic cummings, faces calls to resign after travelling hundreds of miles to stay near family during lockdown. he insists that he behaved " reasonably and legally". it is not a good look, though, is it, mr cummings? who cares about good looks? it is a question of doing the right thing. it's not about what you guys think. opponents are calling for the downing street advisor to stand down. engine failure was reported shortly before a plane crashed into a residential area of karachi in pakistan. at least 97 people have been killed.

a two—week quarantine for most people entering the uk — with fines for those who don't self—isolate. us democratic candidate joe biden apologises for his comments about african americans who choose to vote for president trump. now on bbc news — the latest edition of coronavirus: what next? hello and welcome to the latest in our special programmes on the coronavirus pandemic. on today's programme, we will hear from minority communities in the us and the uk about how the pandemic has

affected their lives, and an interview with facebook‘s founder about what the company says it is doing to combat misinformation around coronavirus. so, if you are saying something that is going to put people at imminent risk of harm we are going to take that down. if you're saying something that is just wrong and is spreading quickly but isn't going to put people at imminent risk, we don't take that down but we stop it from spreading. plus, don't forget you can find the latest updates on the pandemic on our website. but first, in afghanistan the united nations is warning civilian casualties at the hands of both the taliban and the government's security forces are on the rise. the un is calling for a reduction in violence as the country tries to grapple with the spread of coronavirus. our chief international correspondent has more. a fight on two fronts, a hospital underfire in kabul

as they battle against the deadly virus. a time of body armour and facemasks. trying to protect themselves against a new enemy. we have spoken to doctors across the country. there is not enough of this ppe to keep them safe. a doctor in kabul, back at work after recovering from covid—19, did not want to be identified. there is a big crisis at the moment. we have lost three good doctors this week because of covid—19. they were in contact with the patients suspected of having it. they did not have good enough ppe. sadly they are not amongst us today. there is a corona crisis now in afghanistan. a house in mourning. this man lost his brother,

faisal, a businessman. a sister, and his brother, yousef, a doctor, the first to be tested for covid—19 by a system which failed the entire family. i told the doctor that if my brother's test was positive, why didn't you call us? they told me they made a mistake. then they tested all of us, but after 13 days of waiting, my first brother died. then another brother and sister died, and we still haven't got our test results after one and a half months. he took to facebook to vent his fury. shaming senior officials into helping him. the government says it is doing what it can. they are absolutely right. people have died because of no testing equipment

and our health infrastructure was not designed to cope with a hyper event like the coronavirus pandemic. this caught us by surprise. a nation in the midst of violence and fighting. there is a lockdown, but it is not strict. in a country where millions live hand to mouth, hunger is seen as a deadly threat. many already hurting. i'm not scared of coronavirus, but i'm afraid of hunger. coronavirus won't kill us, but we will definitely die from hunger. in some mosques, they keep a safe distance in the muslim holy month of ramadan. in others, they believe only god can save them from their enemies. this invisible enemy may already be spreading fast, next door to iran, the region's epicentre. but there aren't enough tests to know.

for now, in this emergency hospital close to taliban front lines, the old war still takes the heaviest toll. doctors treat victims of violence. the disease is not expected to reach its peakfor a month or more, and many worry that the worst may be yet to come. in the united states, native american communities say they have been forgotten in the coronavirus crisis, despite making upjust 2% of the population the rate of infection amongst these communities is among the highest in the country. a roadblock in the hills of rural south dakota. since april, they've been operating 21w, with tourists and hunters turned away. two native american tribes say the threat of the virus, combined with their vulnerable populations and poor medical facilities, meant they had to urgently control access to their lands.

we have an inherent and sovereign right to protect the health of our people, and no one, man or woman, can dispute that right. but now fighting the coronavirus has got political. south dakota's state governor said last week that the checkpoints must be removed, claiming the tribes broke the law by blocking state and federal roads. what we are looking for is clarification in respecting tribal sovereignty, which is something i have always done in my words and actions, but also making sure that we have the ability to protect people. despite their efforts, tribal leaders here have not managed to keep the virus out of their land entirely. last week, the oglala sioux tribe ordered a reservation wide shut down, after learning that two residents had tested positive for covid—i9. let all of your relatives know, all of your people know, your friends, everyone across our reservation,

that it will be shut down. the largest reservation in the us is home to over 350,000 people spanning arizona, utah and new mexico. it has had 144 deaths from covid—i9 so far — giving it one of the highest infection rates in the country. the land base is enormous and can cover several states but in their highly populated areas that is where we are seeing large cases of confirmed coronavirus infections. in massachusetts a tribe are one of the few with their own health service and virus—testing scheme. would you say tribes have been forgotten in this pandemic? absolutely. tribes are forgotten every day regardless but in this pandemic it brings it more to light.

we do not get the attention we deserve and we definitely have been an afterthought. we are an afterthought still right now. under the $2 trillion coronavirus relief tribal governments are set to receive 8 billion to respond to the public health crisis. tribal leaders say this is not nearly enough to reverse inequality and discrimination that goes back for centuries. meanwhile, in britain, thejewish community also appears to have had a disproportionately high death toll. john mcmanus has been speaking to some of the families of those affected. yy was very special to us in ourfamily. remembering a dearly loved brother, another victim of the covid—i9 virus, which has hit

britain's jewish community particularly hard. this man shared a love of singing with his brother yy. the 20—year—old lived independently in the ultraorthodoxjewish community of stamford hill in north london. then one evening on the phone yy told his brother he was feeling unwell. it was to be their last conversation before he was rushed to hospital. my parents were crying. their hands were tied. they couldn't do anything. their son, they couldn't even go into hospital to hug him, to say goodbye properly. yy is one of hundreds of deaths among all denominations ofjudaism which appear to be out of proportion to the community's small size. this cemetery in hertfordshire just north of london has been here for more than 70 years. thousands of britain's jewish community have been laid to rest here. staff say that over the weeks of march they saw a sudden and unexpected spike in the number of funerals, many of them a result of covid—i9.

at the moment it's quiet but in the busy period we were having around ten to 15 a day for six days a week. this is a tube or mask. other parts of the community have also raced to adapt. 0ne charity in stamford hill has been supporting the health needs of the community for decades. literally from hospital beds if they need it to crutches. in the last few months it's brought dozens of oxygen machines to lend to recovering coronavirus patients when they are discharged from hospital. but there have been accusations that somejewish people have been slow to change their lifestyles in the face of virus warnings. i don't know anyone who doesn't know someone who's died. this woman is a community advocate and activist. she says that some influential jewish leaders failed to set a good example, but insists a much larger blame lies with the authorities. there are health inequalities that are known to public health england

about individual bame communities and none of that was news and it should have been obvious that our communities were going to be affected in a different way. nobody took the step to say that these communities should be warned in advance. nobody took control of the situation. there are still people in the community, still families, who are still mourning. the message of this pandemic has been to keep healthy by staying apart, but one organisation says that for traditionally large families who often live in cramped conditions that was impossible. there are families who have every age group in the house and that means we have little children from one—year—old going to somebody in the house who is possibly 60 years old or above that age. that contributed towards, you know, the virus being more aggressive in some parts of the community unfortunately. meanwhile, even as he continues

to mourn his brother, he says yy's life was a gift. he brought light. he was a beacon of light in the whole community, not just in our family. he brought light to people. john mcmanus reporting. as the number of dead in brazil hovers around the 20,000 mark, its government is under ever more scrutiny, in particular its in particular its controversial president. in april he was asked about the rapid spread of covid—i9 in brazil. by rapid spread of covid—i9 in brazil. by may, the number of cases was the third highest in the world. this virus which the president had dismissed as flu had killed 17,000 people and he was being held responsible. the lancet put it blu ntly, responsible. the lancet put it bluntly, perhaps the biggest threat to brazil's response is its president. you have two viruses to

combat, coronavirus and bolsonaro virus. the government's initial assessment of the threat raises questions. we paid attention to the united states and the united states was comfortable saying they would ta ke was comfortable saying they would take care of that and we thought he had some kind of science that would be released soon. it turned out to be released soon. it turned out to bea be released soon. it turned out to be a hollow boast. that was the former health minister who advocated social distancing and was fired. next into thejob, social distancing and was fired. next into the job, when asked about the decision to reopen gems he replied, was this an ounce today? it didn't go through the ministry. days later he resigned. in march bolsonaro told supporters the cure is right there. it isn't. at the third time of asking he has a health

minister who is happy to proceed. the drug has been cleared for treatment in brazil. undermining the health industry and preoccupation with an on tested drug. but arguably their lack of a nationwide lockdown has battered even more. this is an anti—lockdown rally and as you can see these are not advocates of social distancing but it is brazil's states that have the power to impose restrictions and they have done so but to very differing degrees. there are happier to what they are willing to try. about 4096 of the labour force is only being partially assisted. a lot of those live from hand to mouth so for them it is hard to see inside the house when you do not have the money to buy food. that leads us to the economy. brazil's

mean stock exchange index has plummeted. manufacturing is slumping and unemployment is rising. brazilian economist has written my investment advice would be not to run intoa investment advice would be not to run into a burning building, but how best to put out that fire? the president believes lockdown would make matters worse and in economic terms he is right. ecuador‘s president has defended its lockdown but says it is a zephyr family has lost half of what it needs to live and this delicate balance between saving lives and protecting incomes is universal but the bitter political row over whether brazil can political row over whether brazil ca n afford political row over whether brazil can afford a lockdown has had consequences. at the end of the day he is the president and people take advice from him and that is what has been so confusing to people whether to listen to bolsonaro or state governors. covid-19 has delivered a

deadly lesson. to explain brazil's failure to build a coherent response you must start with a president who hasn't always appear to want one. founder of facebook has defended its record of tackling this information during the outbreak. speaking to the bbc in his first broadcast interview in five years, he has been talking to our business editor. if someone said that colloidal silver would be a good way of keeping the virus at bay, what is the facebook response? we have policies around stopping

misinformation. we break this into two categories so there is misinformation that put people at risk of physical harm. there have been hundreds of thousands of cases of things that are harmful misinformation. another example which has been prevalent in the uk has been 56 misinformation. there have been hundreds of thousands of pieces of content like that. there was a case when the brazilian president said it was proven by all

scientists are something to that effect that there is a drug that was proven to cure coronavirus and that is obviously not true. there is nothing yet that i am aware of that is proven to be a killer, —— a cure. we do not want misinformation to be the content that is going viral so we work with independent fact checkers. 0ver we work with independent fact checkers. over this period since the covid outbreak they have issued about 7500 articles seeing fact checking content and that has led to us checking content and that has led to us showing 50 million warning labels. we know that those posts are effective because 95% of the time when someone effective because 95% of the time when someone sees a effective because 95% of the time when someone sees a post that has a warning label on it they do not click through. if you are seeing something that is going to put people at imminent risk of harm we

will take that down. if you are saying something that is just wrong but spreading quickly but isn't going to fit the bill imminent risk we don't take that down but we stop it spreading general. no one doubts the awesome responsibility that a company like facebook has, the responsibility it has in the world. chris hughes, who founded the company with you, i wrote a note saying that facebook should be broken up. the algorithm can determine the privacy settings and even what messages get delivered. do you hand on heart as the controlling shareholder in facebook think it is a good idea for that kind of responsibility to be vested in one human being? i have actually said publicly that i don't think any one

individual or any company should be making so many decisions about important values for society like free expression and safety, and we have taken a lot of actions on that front. recently we have established this independent oversight board which is basically a group of about 20 experts, formerjudges, former prime minister of denmark, academics, journalists, leaders of nonprofits, people who come from countries around the world to have a diversity of experiences but all have a commitment to understanding of the extension on human rights, and this overs date board will make it so that people in our community can appeal the 50 think we are making a decision incorrectly on content and the sport will have the final binding see, so if they say something needs to come down or stay

out at that point it doesn't matter what i think about the folks on our tea m what i think about the folks on our team think, this independent board will get to make that decision, i do think there needs to be some additional governance which is why we are taking steps like that. so many industries are facing a long road to recovery because of the pandemic and tv productions are no exception but in south africa are a group of actors so stringent lockdown restrictions as an opportunity to start a new online soap opera which they have short by themselves at home. it is proving so popular it is already in its third season. popular it is already in its third season. standing by, and action!

when the president announced the national lockdown i sat at home and thought to myself what happens to soaps? and i thought why don't we create one on our sofas. it is an online novella that we are showcasing on social media platforms and it is bite sized episodes which ranges between nine and 12 minutes. we are on lockdown. i am supposed to be in the house. the scripts are sent out to actors and each actor shoots from home on their sofas their individual part of the episode of the scene and then they are edited together and it comes across, when it comes together, as people in

the same space. obviously you have to do whatever you can to get the shot. my goodness. this is my tripod. get out of my frame! what are you doing? i would call actors that i know, and everyone was excited and keen to go to the space they do not know. i cannot believe you tried to steal from me. i'm sorry, i didn't know what else to do. it gives us an opportunity as artists to stay creative and to collaborate with one another and just to create something that is fresh and new because we are moving into a format that we haven't explored before. well, i am right

here. my message to all of the actors and the crew out there that have been affected by covid—19 is a lwa ys have been affected by covid—19 is always stay creative and wait for opportunities for creative working. new ways of storytelling are going to be unravelled. cut! that is it for now. you can follow me on twitter or head to the bbc news website for information. a lot of sunshine around today but there is also quite a few blustery showers about and across the northern half of the uk winds have been howling

in the last day or so especially around western scotland, the pennines, the highlands as well, and on top of that heavy rain. this is the low pressure that has brought the rough weather to northern parts. still close by so it is making its presence felt but the south of the country is closer to the high pressure so you have two extremes with the rough weather in the north but further south it is not quite as windy although it is still quite blustery and here we are closer to the high pressure. winds in the north in excess of 50 mph through the afternoon and through the midlands in excess of 40 mph. temperatures vary from the high teens to maybe 20 in london. much fresher off western scotland. the rain and wind will continue

for a time through this evening. rain may last all through the night through western scotland and rather a lot of it. patchy rain extending into the lake district and parts of yorkshire and to the south it is going to be dry. it starts off dry and sunny in the south but you can see in northern areas always a bit more cloud. that cloud and any rain should eventually fade so most of us are left with a decent day on sunday. the best of the weather closer to the high pressure in the south so we have 18 in plymouth and 22 in london. sunday is going to feel warmer because the winds will feel lighter. high pressure builds from the south next week but it is always on the edge of us and we are expecting weather fronts to brush the north—west of the uk so that means northern ireland and western scotland in for some cloud and rain on monday but the vast majority of the uk is in for sunshine and with southerly winds those temperatures will be rising back up to 25 in london and 20 in newcastle in the week ahead so if you like

the warm weather it's looking very promising with temperatures climbing and there is a possibility they could hit the high 20s sometime next week in the south. goodbye.
