been pushing to reopen the economy despite soaring deaths and new infections brazil is the at the center of the pandemic in latin america almost 15000 people are now confirmed to have died from covert 19 the true death toll is likely to be much higher. now earlier i spoke to our reporter. and i asked her if there is any indication why type resigned i don't really know she never gave any reasons as to why he resigned but we know that he and bill so narrow have been at odds as a doctor and health care consultant ty's she prefers some stay at home measures while those narrow doesn't really want any knock down and he just wants to get the economy up and running again very soon because he also faces a lot of pressure from the business sector so on monday was a narrow issue to decree to actually allow gyms and beauty salons to be open again

and that took time by surprise because it was narrowed didn't even consulted him but the final straw could be both scenarios wish to actually use a drug that treats malaria on to cover 1000 patients a drug this cult closer o'quinn and to use has been discussed a lot since pandemic started but the w.h.o. has said that there is no evidence whether it could work well what's interesting and what i want to know is exactly how is brazil actually handling the corona virus epidemic so for person narrow the economy seems to be the number one priority he has tried to downplay the crisis since it started has been telling people to ignore quarantine measures has described the virus as little flu and that attitude actually has been criticized a lot globally and domestically and that's because brazil is one of the coronavirus hot spots it has already like 200000 deaths 200000 cases sorry and

15000 deaths and that's the 6th highest in the world but so was an era doesn't really appreciate any currency measures and also sect. because they correlate over the same issue i mean shocking numbers they're all the same. there is going to be so much political impact. on our i mean to ministers and institutional space of time well those narrow has found himself increasingly isolated over his response to the pandemic he has clashed with states and local authorities over the social distancing measures and their political have called for his impeachment and as for the public he has already been losing popularity. of the pens i make because of his approach to the crisis so brazilians have been employed and pans from their windows as protest and resignation probably won't do

anything to his popularity well thanks for all the dates they're from brazil and what's going on there. well let's take a look now at some other stories making news around the world medical workers in belgium have staged a flash mob to protest against their government's handling of the krona virus pandemic and to raise awareness of their difficult working conditions about $250.00 health workers joined the protest in the city of belgium's per capita death toll from covert 19 is one of the world's highest. a south african burry has repurposed its beer vats to make soup for people struggling during the pandemic would stop early in capetown stopped making beer wine alcohol was banned under the lockdown introduced in march now volunteers make 5000 liters of soup every day and

enormous undertaking officials at the root of this global pandemic are attempting. you know to die you know i'm a little bit worried. it is a huge effort for the government to take these measures to provide a test for everyone. when you have you it shows the care for residents health. for and to reach the chinese city will be transformed into a giant lab after a cluster of new cases spooked local leaders testing will need to be rapidly increased from capacity of our own 100000 tests to more than 700000 per day. i think it's necessary because after all a cluster of new infections appeared in one neighborhood just a few days ago there's a possibility of a reoccurrence of this epidemic we don't need to spend money out of our own pockets it will all be covered by the government so i think it's also

a protection for our own lives and property most of us i mean. about. for months residents were forbidden to go outside now they're being beckoned to line up together and get tested not for the 1st time the world is watching ruhani regular must testing on this scale could be one route out of lockdown and too few governments can marshal the resources required to pull it off. a long anticipated report has cleared hong kong police of any wrongdoing journey last year's pro-democracy protests the report by the independent police complaints council said police used force against the demonstrators only when officers quote had reasonable suspicion of lethal force being used or prepared against them the findings were released as a pro-democracy protester was jailed after pleading guilty to rioting during last year's unrest. for these protestors sin coho is

a hero. stay strong they shout as he is taken away in a van to serve a 4 year prison sentence cin was the 1st pro-democracy protesters to plead guilty to charges of rioting nearly $600.00 more face the same charges. the violence of hong kong police during last year's massive protests was also under review though they were exonerated the territories police watchdog claimed officers use of force was not excessive we have to be careful and fair to to the police force in this case is that they did have a very very difficult. situation to deal with and they have been forced into. the findings of the council whose members are appointed by chief executive kerry lam were quickly dismissed by the opposition. so those who wrote this report they simply chose to look the other way and that's why we have been adamant

about all day ma and that there has to be a proper. genuine independent inquiry into all this police brutality. the report is unlikely to quell the public's anger toward hong kong police images like these are seared into the memories of many who participated in or supported the pro-democracy movement. tear gas is a taste that nearly everyone remembers well all too well this ice cream shop has even made it into a flavor as a tribute to the sting of struggle. we wanted to make a flavor which reminds people to persist with the protest movement and not lose their passion. demonstrations stop this winter because of the corona virus outbreak but protesters have clashed with police again in recent days

now that the spread of the virus in hong kong has practically come to a halt. did your reporter cherry chime covered the pro-democracy protests in hong kong she gave us her recollections of the behavior of police and demonstrators although. i actually. situation i have seen protests that spring break through i've seen that growing and. i think that the thing. with these. things oh infrastructure on the street but also in many cases the police say falls indiscriminately on the public they were i have seen that and you think that the spray lawmakers who went back to the way said and i have seen them interrogate at parth i mean the demonstrations and i have also seen that firing again at close range and activity

and in many case there. was not only you and the protesters but also the press reporters who were there because the situation and to be one of the what they call the demonstration. last that's. right i. was he 5 project out. from the police so this really caught. the flak to me like the fact incident and they didn't. elaborate on this kind of situation. well i was due to your reporter cherry chance speaking to us earlier well moving on to sports and the long wait is almost over for a boy in this league of fans german football is returning after a 2 month suspension because of the corona virus outbreak there has been so much talk about hygiene and empty stadiums but what about the actual football dortmund

a packed stadium they boosted their outside title hopes with a 21 victory and. a well worked winner from ash rafa kimi was symbolic of their attacking verve. but shall cut off and raise their game against dortmund the players mass will be off for the darby as david wagner side look to continue their push for a european spot. training has been tweaked in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic distance has been kept where possible but the tackles are likely to fly against dormand despite the eerie surroundings. there we can honestly use of the obvious that are very different to this with a full house and a great atmosphere. it's a real shame if there's no other way to do it then so be it. without fans we've got to try and push ourselves somehow to push. the bones as they go played one game
