this is bbc news, the headlines. the chief adviser to the british prime minister, has come under further pressure after newspapers reports that he breached lockdown rules twice in the space of a few weeks. it was revealed that, dominic cummings had driven hundreds of kilometres to be with family members, while exhibiting coronavirus symptoms. —— while his wife. funerals have been taking place in pakistan for some of the victims of friday's plane crash in karachi, in which 97 people died. the government has launched an official inquiry but the pakistan pilots‘ association says it has ‘no faith‘ in the official investigation. spain in continuing to ease its lockdown. tourists will be able travel to the country again from july. spanish football's top division, will resume next month, after being disrupted by the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. all organised football has been

suspended since mid—march. now on bbc news. with coronavirus outbreaks at different stages around the world, we explore what might happen as restrictions change and people adjust to a new reality. hello and welcome to the latest on our special programmes on the coronavirus pandemic. i'm victoria derbyshire. 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. the hospital underfire in capital as they battle against the deadly virus. a time of body armour and face masks. trying to protect themselves against this new enemy. we have spoken to doctors across the country.

there's not enough of this ppe to them safe. a doctor in kabul, back at work after recovering from covid—19, i didn't want to be identified. translation: there is a big crisis at the moment. we have lost three good doctors this week because of r covid. they were in contact with a patient suspected of having it. they recently died, they didn't good enough ppe, sadly they are not amongst us today. there is a covid crisis now in afghanistan. a house in morning. there man lost his brother fussell, a businessman, a sister, and his brother, a doctor, the first to be tested for covid—19 by a system which failed the entire family. translation: i told the doctor that

if my brothers 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's doing 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 high per 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's not straight. in a country where millions live hand to mouth, hunger is seen as a deadly threat. many already hurting. translation: i'm not scared of coronavirus, but i'm afraid of hunger. coronavirus will not kill us but we will definitely die from hunger. in some masks 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 was ‘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 isn't expected to reach its peakfor a month or more. many worry 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. one 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 controversial president. in april he was asked about the 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 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 take care of that and we thought he had some kind of science that would 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, 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 40% 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 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 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—i9 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. he has been talking to the business as simonjack. he has been talking to the business as simon jack. on the immediate health risks if some crazy person decided to start telling people to, i don't know drink or inject bleach oi’ i don't know drink or inject bleach or saying that colloidal silver would be a good way of keeping the virus at bay what is the facebook algorithm response to that? is not out algorithm response to that? is not our algorithm. we have policies around this, about stopping misinformation. we break this into two categories. there's harmful misinformation that puts people at imminent risk of physical harm. things like saying that something is

a proven cure for the virus when in fa ct a proven cure for the virus when in fact it isn't we will take that down. and there have been hundreds of thousands of cases of things that are powerful misinformation, another example that's been very prevalent in the uk has been 56 misinformation. itjust has led to some physical damage of five g infrastructure, so we believe that thatis infrastructure, so we believe that that is leading to imminent risk of physical harm and take down that content. that's hundreds of thousands of content like that. we do take it down when can we enforce that even no matter who is saying it. there was a case where the brazilian president went out and said that it was proven by all scientists or something to that effect that there was a drug that was proven to cure coronavirus, and that's obviously not true, there's

nothing yet that at least i'm aware of that has been proven to be a cure. so we had to enforce that. evenif cure. so we had to enforce that. even if something was going to cause imminent risk of physical harm we don't want misinformation to be the content that is broadly going viral across the network. we work with independent fact chequers over the course of this period since the outbreak they have issued about 7500 articles saying fact checking content. which is led to a showing about 50 million warning labels on posts across about 50 million warning labels on posts across our services. about 50 million warning labels on posts across our services. when are those posts are effective because 95% of the time when someone sees a post has a warning label on it they click through to see it. if you are saying something that will put people at imminent risk of harm we will take that down, if you safely that'sjust wrong but is spreading quickly, but will not put people at imminent risk we don't take that

down, but we stop it from spreading generally. no one doubts the awesome responsibility that a company like facebook which has instagram and whatsapp of course, that responsibility, the minutes of the company with you what a note that saying facebook should be broken up, he said mark alone because of the voting structure can determine what people see in their newsfeeds and what privacy settings they use a m essa 9 es what privacy settings they use a messages get delivered. he set the rules for how to distinguish speech. hand on heart as the controlling shareholder in facebook, do you hand on her think it's a good idea for that kind of responsibility to be vested in one human being to you?” have said publicly that i don't think that any one individual or company should be making so many decisions about important values for society like free expression and safety. we have taken a lot of

actions on that front. just recently we have established an independent oversight board which basically what it is the starting off a group of about 20 experts who all, you know folks like formerjudges and former prime minister of denmark, abbot academics, journalists, leaders of nonprofits, people who come from countries around the world and have diversity of experiences but all have a commitment to understanding of free expression of human rights, this oversight board will make it so that people in our community can appeal if we think are making a decision incorrectly. this board will have the final binding say, so if they say something needs to come down or needs to stay up at that point it does not matter what i think, or what the other folks on out think, or what the other folks on our team think. this independent board will get to make that

decision. sol board will get to make that decision. so i do think that there needs to be some additional governance beyond just our company making all the decisions, which is why we are taking steps like that. it's very important. that's mark zuckerberg talking to simonjack. in south africa a group of actors ostrich at large restrictions as an opportunity to start a new online soap opera which they have shot by themselves at home. is proving so popular that it's already in its third season. cink clapper. standing by and action. so when the president announced that national lockdown i kind of sat at home and thought to myself, what happens to the soaps, and so in my head i was like, well,

when we just create a soapy on our cell phones? lockdown heights is an online instant novella. it's a telenovela we are so instant novella. it's a telenovela we are so casing instant novella. it's a telenovela we are so casing on instant novella. it's a telenovela we are so casing on social media platforms and is really a bite sized episodes. which is between nine to 12 minutes. we are on lockdown, ms was to be in the house, we all do! what happens is we all sent scripts are to actors and each actor shoots from home on their cell phones. in the individual parts of the episode of the scene in which that are edited together and it comes across as people in the same space. obviously you have to do whatever you can to get the shot. 0h obviously you have to do whatever you can to get the shot. oh my goodness. this is my tripod. well,

you are dangerous. we get out of my frame, what are you doing?” you are dangerous. we get out of my frame, what are you doing? i would just call up actors that i know, friends and people that i worked with in the past, everyone was excited. there are key to go into their space to do not know. i'm sorry i didn't know what else to do. let me go and set this thing up so we can finally be done with your mess. it grants us an opportunity as artist to stay creative during this period, for us to collaborate with one anotherjust to create something that's fresh and new because we are moving into a format that we have not explored before.” moving into a format that we have not explored before. i cannot stop thinking about how he felt when he kissed him. well, i am right here. i messaged all of the actors that even the crew that has been affected by the crew that has been affected by the covid—i9 virus within this space

is always be creative, always look for opportunities for creative ways of storytelling, of characterisation, of shooting. the creative ways of storytelling will be unraveled and shows like lockdown heights are shows to have the innovation. and cut! that's it for 110w. innovation. and cut! that's it for now. everybody you can find me on twitter or head to the bbc news website for the latest information. thanks for watching. hello there. we saw gale force winds across the uk today. lots of showers rattling through without much of england and wales did stay dry with plenty of sunshine. most of the rain was across western scotland. extremely wet with over three inches of rain falling saturday.
