to a church and appearing in a photo—op near the white house was a mistake. mark milley, the chairman of thejoint chiefs of staff, said the event created a perception of the military being involved in domestic politics. us stock markets have fallen sharply as investors became less optimistic about the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the american economy. the dow jones index closed down by almost 7%. wosses in other indices were almost as great. stocks suffered their worst day since march. activists in rio‘s copacabana beach have dug 100 graves as a protest against the government's handling of the pandemic. brazil has the second highest number of coronavirus cases in the world. it's also expected to overtake the uk to have the second highest death rate. here in the uk, the government says its new

‘track and trace‘ system aimed at halting the spread of coronavirus is working well in england. however, new figures show tracers failed to get in touch with a third resources, i guess, because it is tribal governments of the people they were chasing. that we're here's our health editor, hugh pym. talking about and different tribal governments? if you test positive, nhs test and trace will contact you to trace people you might have infected. testing and tracing is vital to prevent future coronavirus outbreaks developing. a new system for england was launched two weeks ago. now we have some details of how it's working. in the first week, two thirds of those testing positive handed over details of people they had so, you knew already that there's recently been in contact with. a situation with underlying save lives. health conditions, problems for native american communities, and yet when it comes to something like are you a bit concerned that coronavirus, this isn't somewhere where the federal american with one third of people government comes in and tells people who tested positive, what to do, and in fact gives them for whatever reason, you couldn't get details resources, i guess, because it is tribal governments that we're talking about and different of recent contacts? tribal governments? well, yeah. the federal government, though, according to the treaties signed i think that the system in the 1800s, we were told, has worked well, and to get two thirds "put down your guns and we will take in the first week of operation, care of you", and that it beat my expectations, included education, healthcare,

and then to have the vast food and things like that. majority, 85% of the so, honestly, the federal contacts that were given, government is at the self—isolating, that very bottom of the reason why beat my expectations too, the people on rosebud, and this system gets their life expectancy is 57. so covid is just deadly. the federal government better and better. is not doing theirjob. the nurses and the doctors in the federally—run ihs hospitals do not have enough gloves here's how contact tracing should work — or protective equipment. if i test positive for the virus, i'd be contacted by officials i don't understand this. by phone or e—mail and asked who i'd ihs got $1 billion met up with in recent days. on april the 3rd for covid and that means meetings supplies — we've no idea what they did with them at less than two metres, because when we talk to them face—to—face, not someone i might they say we don't have gloves, we don't have face shields. have bumped into in a shop. that might include, for example, friends i'd spent time with, so volunteers like you, jo, and work colleagues i might have been in meetings with, or a wider circle working from your own home have had of recent contacts. all that would then be assessed by a clinical team and those people to get involved and it might be contacted and told might have started to self—isolate for 14 days. small with a0 masks or so, testing's carried out at drive—through centres, but tell me something at locations visited by mobile about the situation now, teams, and in hospitals what kind of things you're and care homes. helping to supply. home test kits are sent out, then information on those testing we have a 2—pronged approach to this. positive is sent to health one of the things we do

officials who find out more about the contacts. one of them isjosie. is providing personal she's working from home in redcar. protective equipment, or ppe, to healthcare workers, frontline workers and making sure that they everybody that i've spoke to has are safe, because they're taking care of the people. been more than happy to share this is all on reservations. the information that we need. and the other thing that we do is a community approach we're and at the moment i've only had people that have had a couple providing hand sanitiser, masks, of contacts, or, sometimes food and hygiene supplies you know, a handful. but i guess once lockdown measures ease, then maybe so they can be clean and be able we will see more contacts. to kill the germs. then the tracers have to follow up the contacts. some, who wish to remain anonymous, have told us they have had very little work to do. we're protecting the people in every way that we possibly can, and it's grown from such a small amount to, it's not right that you're paid to do nothing. i think the time like you said, i was looking for a0 could be better spent. masks and now we can get thousands there is mass confusion about the system and about what to do, to people within just days. what advice to give, and to say it's world—beating and also, like, face is a bit of a joke. shields and gloves, hand sanitiser — we just got a very large donation in a similar system in scotland, there is an average of one of that and we're excited to be able and a half contacts traced for each case. to share that with northern ireland were the first all the communities. it becomes life—saving to be launched in the uk and wales also have testing and

when you don't have water. tracing programmes. the authorities in england say the system works but it's early days and why does this matter and there's more to do to reach a wider public. so much to you personally? hugh pym, bbc news. i am a member of the sicangu lakota from rosebud. now on bbc news, philippa thomas i am native american. hears from people around the world about their extraordinary experiences during the pandemic and how covid—i9 has changed their lives. however, i live in utah. most of my family lives on the reservation but i live here. i was just standing there and in navajo, people were dying. i know lots of navajo, i know lots of people from all the different tribes in utah. welcome to coronavirus: all i could say... your stories, a programme about how covid—i9 is changing the lives of people around the world. i'm philippa thomas. ijust said, "i cannot stand here and do nothing." and so i did something and it has this week we're bringing you stories from the vulnerable grown and i have an amazing team communities whose residents are more of people who are incredibly caring, and we are all at risk but less in the public eye, working together to save lives. and the efforts being taken to try to stop the devastation so do you think you were that this pandemic can cause. brought up to take action? absolutely, and it is true of every

native american child we'll hear what's being and adult — community before self. done to stop the spread of the virus in one of the most densely populated areas in the world — asia's largest slum, for my youngest child — dharavi, mumbai. i remember my mother asking me, first, a story of native american volunteers who've banded together to help some of the tribal nations hit hardest by covid—i9 in some "what are you going to be of the remotest areas when you grow up and of the united states without—running what will you do to help the people?" water or electricity or internet access. so i got a degree in social work jo overton in utah started by helping because i thought that was one to source a0 masks. of the ways that i could really help native americans and it means the world to me. my mother is a world changer and i have a deep desire to make my mother proud and there would be nothing more important to me than being just like my mother. she changed the lives now she helps to co—ordinate of the people on the distribution of the reservations. thousands of pieces of life—saving equipment. she's working across tribal lines, monitoring the rise in covid cases every day. how? my mother, she was raising four girls single—y navajo was the very first to get covid back in april,

maybe the end of march, and in her early a0s she decided and it happened at a large gathering she would become a lawyer and then people went and then she would go home and they were home to the reservation in fact did and it infected hundreds and help the people. of families initially. if you're native american, you're at least ten times more likely to get covid, and you're at least four times more likely to die from it. even though my mother had rheumatoid arthritis and was quite crippled in different areas, there are higher numbers, from it, she did, she went to law but that's about the average, and that's school and then she moved back on or off the reservation. to the reservation, became notjust a lawyerfor the people but a judge. jo, tell us about some of the particular challenges that are faced in trying to fight covid. the very first attorney i guess you're talking general we ever had — about some areas that don't native and woman — she helped change the constitution have running water for a start? of our tribe, and she also rewrote the domestic violence code for two different tribes, including ours. exactly. there are some areas, especially on the navajo nation, where between 30 or 40% of the people don't my mother was always a voice for the voiceless and protection have running water. 00:06:44,826 --> 2147483051:40:07,128 it also means they 2147483051:40:07,128 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 have no electricity for the vulnerable. and a lot of what you're doing now is about protecting native elders. i suppose there's a double risk here, isn't there? being native american and if you're elderly. you must feel very vulnerable? absolutely.

native americans treasure their elders. they are the holders of the past. they carry the wisdom and they carry the knowledge. and they teach us that one of the most important things is that they are also ourfuture. without them, we would not know which way we needed to go, and we would be lost. and in that process, we would lose a part of ourselves, so protecting our elders is the most important thing that all native americans feel that we can do. just thinking about your part in this volunteer effort, what do you think you're learning or the group of you are learning that might help you if there's another wave, another surge of the virus? well, we're really aware of the things that work and also some of the

things that don't work, and we're hoping, if there is another — well, right now covid is just beginning to rise on reservations across the country, and it means that we are pretty prepared for their needs, and so it makes it easier to know what they need. we have a warehouse, we have things in the warehouse, and we can get them out quickly so, if covid is rising in a place, we have a rapid, focused response and that is our mission to do that. what will you take a lesson from and say, right, do it differently next time? well, i think one of the most important things that we've learned is about having good contacts, so when i call as the indigenous outreach co—ordinator, i really need to find somebody who is willing to talk

and respond to e—mails, and be able to get the supplies out. and in making things happen and making them happen quickly, how much do you think it matters that people trust you, because they think you know what you are speaking about, you are native american? absolutely. because i am, i understand the difficulties that the different entities on the tribe are having and so, when i speak to them, there's already this common ground and, in doing so, it engenders trust and a willingness to tell me things that they perhaps would not tell a white person because they would not feel like they could trust them. you obviously are determined that you and others are going to be communities helping communities, because there is no other way?

absolutely. we are moving very, very quickly and we have great hope to protect native elders. all of the money that is donated, besides a very small portion, goes straight to supplies. we are 100% of volunteer. we don't stand around and say, "oh, let's wait for them to do it." that's ridiculous — we do it. jo 0verton on the challenges and the community spirit she's witnessing among native american tribes dealing with the coronavirus. i'm philippa thomas and you're watching coronavirus: your stories, a programme about how the virus is affecting the lives of people around the world. next, we go to dharavi, in the indian city of mumbai. it's a slum that's home to around a million people in the space ofjust one square mile, so social distancing is pretty much impossible. kiran dighavkar has been overseeing the official response.

so, in just 2.5 square kilometre area, you will find i million people in dharavi, and they are all staying in a small houses of ten feet by 15 feet, small houses and usually you will find structures of ground plus one storey or two storey, in which people are staying in ground storey. and on first and second floor, there are factories, small factories, where these people are working. so how is it possible to socially distance, let alone isolate, when you've got a virus among you? 80% of people depend on community toilets, public toilets and they do not have their own individual toilets. second important part in dharavi, all workers, labourers, migrants, they depend on outside food in dharavi. they do not cook food inside. maybe 30%—a0% of people, do not have kitchens inside their houses.

theyjust depend on outside food. when the lockdown was declared, most of them, they are unemployed, and they were working for food and we were providing them with food packets every day. 21,000 people for lunch and 21,000 people for dinner, we are providing food packets to them. so there is no possibility of practising social distance. for us, the main challenge was that people isolate as much as possible, and into government quarantine. how well has the strategy worked? because, when you look at india as a whole, it has got the third highest number of cases, after the united states and brazil. but in dharavi, how is it going? dharavi is surprisingly, as i told you, the first case the person was detected positive and when we went at his home,

by the time we enquired his family about contact tracing, get his contacts and all, the patient died in the hospital. we were completely were aware that the way the community is, it would take no time to spread and it happened like that only. instead ofjust acting reactively, we decided to act proactively. so what we did is we started screening people in the area. we took a team of doctors and we started visiting door to door with our ppe kits on. we started with the thermal scanner, we started screening people. we started taking oxygen level of patients with the help of an oxymeter. and those who were suspected, we just isolated them in a building to isolate. we started announcing people who were having symptoms of coronavirus to isolate yourself into the quarantine centre and we will provide you everything free of cost.

this is really worked and we isolated more than 8,500 people to date. when people happy to do that? if you go into isolation, you cannot work, you cannot earn a living? most of the people are working in essential services. most of them were health workers, grocery shops, delivery boys, maybe working on a factory farm. maybe there are a few people who were in essential services. initially they were not ready to come but once we offered them medicines as well, i think it was the big boost in the area because once they were somewhat isolated, we were giving them free food, like breakfast, lunch and dinner. along with that we were giving them tablets and any other symptomatic treatment that required doctors, they were facilitated with no cost. so that was a pretty good dealfor them. what about yourself?

you're coming into contact with a lot of people who might be affected with covid—i9, are you not worried about yourself and your family? yes, initially it was quite a tense atmosphere. i used to wear a mask, then face shield. i never wear ppe but i had mask, goggles, not exactly goggles but face shield, because while setting up the quarantine centres, we need to visit and check they were initially quite scary situations and everywhere it was on the news that this is rising in dharavi and it was becoming a cause of concern for my family as well.

i want to ask you a final question about having so much responsibility, there must be quite a lot of personal stress involved for you? one of my staff died who was found positive, while distributing the food packages in the area. and he died and that was a shocking and very bad day for my entire staff, including myself, and that was a really scary situation. that day, we tested 30 engineers and doctors in the area and 21 of them tested positive. that was really a scary situation. interestingly i tell you, though i have not shown any symptoms in the last two or three months, but i never tested myself because i was aware that once i test myself if i was found positive, what would happen to the mission? so i decided that, unless i show any

symptoms, i will not test myself. so that was really disappointing when one of my staff died because of covid—i9 and that was really stressful during that time. it really was very bad when there were 100 cases a day. that was during april, the last week. then we started getting on top of the situation. facilities were built up, oxygen beds, hospitals acquired them and there was little sign of hope and now it is completely 0k. other areas of mumbai are showing increasing trend.

0n the pushback on a covid—19 in one of the most densely packed patches in the world. thank you forjoining me this week for coronavirus: your stories. hello. a lot going on with our weather the next few days, and it's all being driven by an area of low pressure — this beautiful swirl of cloud here on the satellite picture. and rather than moving through quickly, this area of low pressure is just going to sit around, it's going to spin areas of rain up in our direction. brisk winds for a time, as well. and with the flow of air around this area of low pressure, we're going to tap into something rather warm and potentially quite humid.

so, to sum up the next few days, there will be some heavy, thundery downpours, with some sunny spells in between, and that warm and humid feel across most parts of the uk. now over recent hours, we've had a lot of rain across northeast england. that rain continues here, pushing into northwest england, northern ireland, eventually up into southern and eastern scotland. and across the south of england, another pulse of very heavy rain working in through the afternoon. some flashes of lightning, some rumbles of thunder are likely. this rain starting to get up into the southeast of wales, and the south midlands. the odd heavy shower following on behind. the temperatures a little bit higher than they have been, 21 celsius there in london. sunshine and showers to the north midlands into wales. a lot of cloud with some outbreaks in rain for northern england, and northern ireland. some of that rain eventually pushing up towards the southeast of scotland. but towards the northwest of scotland, well, here probably the best of the dry and sunny weather, although for some coasts in the northeast, it's likely to stay more murky. and it's going to be quite a breezy day, as well. now as we move through friday night and into saturday, you can see further pulses of wet weather pushing across the map. some clear spells, as well.

it's going to be a very mild night. we've got quite a few mild nights to come, actually. temperatures as we start saturday in double digits for most. now potentially another area of rain to push across northern england into northern ireland, parts of southern scotland. to the south of that, sunshine and really heavy showers breaking out — they will be quite well scattered. not everyone will get a shower but, if you do, it could bring some thunder, some lightning, some large hail and certainly a lot of rain in a short space of time. but look at the temperatures, 25 degrees in norwich, 20 there in glasgow. a bit cooler for some of these northern and eastern coasts where we keep a lot of cloud, some mist and fog. it could be quite grey and murky again for northeastern coasts on sunday. for most, it's another day of sunny spells and torrential, thundery downpours. and once again, it will feel warm — temperatures of 17 degrees in aberdeen, 2a celsius in london.
