2:04 pm
a lot of fox news you will definitely support what president trump has done and her head has threatened to do in terms of looking at all the looting that happens in the evening and feeling like there does need to be so called law and order and of course if it's a rorschach test if you're another kind of american what you see is that the president has just threatened the american people with sending american soldiers to treat them like enemy combatants. as police crackdown on the protests journalists have also found themselves being targeted. but the price would be difference of course going to stuff on the man's way you see here was shot at with rubber bullets in minneapolis over the weekend in a 2nd incident simone's and his crew or shot at again as they try to drive away from police he says he's been harassed by police several times while the chording on the protests. germany's foreign minister heikal mosse has insisted that
2:05 pm
journalists must be allowed to do their job reporting on the unrest in the u.s. . if you had to do it with regard to the incidents involving deutsche eventa which of which we have also to be made aware we would contact us oath or choose to find out more about the circumstances we remain firmly committed journalists must be able to carry out their task which is independent coverage of events without endangering their safety it would appear to push democratic states under the rule of law have to meet the highest standards when it comes to protecting freedom of the press. standouts tartly. all right let's get more on the story now we can speak with nick waters from the investigative group belling cat which has been collecting and analyzing the instances of violence against journalists during these protests and he joins us from london hi nick i take us through some of the examples of how journalists are being targeted well so far we've collected 106
2:06 pm
examples of all is against journalists and although in some cases it's clear that these journalists in to go between protesters and police in the majority of cases we seeing. them being talked of by police despite sleeping journalists we've seen journalists being arrested being shot up with bullets. being talks with tear gas being hit with batons and shields despite it being very clear that they all join us now is it clear that this is definitely deliberate. yes and multiple examples is very very clear example when the c.n.n. crew were arrested like the clips you played with the usual a film crew you know you've got a big camera big very clear you press you have multiple other examples it is very clear journalist there is nobody else in the ministry in egypt since he and the police all targeting deliberately targeting press make you know some media has
2:07 pm
accused the president the white house of creating mistrust in news organizations we're seeing video right now a c.n.n. crew arrested live on air news organizations and journalists people have said that that the president has fomented anger against them do your investigations actually show this proof that there's been an uptick and attacks and harassment of journalists. and what we can say is in the last few days have been well over 100 attacks on journalists and i know do you think you can divorce up from the president of the united states spending the last few years describing the press as the enemy the enemy of the people and creating a culture in which the media have blamed fool the ills of america and all legitimate targets i don't think you can separate his statements the statements of the most powerful man in the country in the world from the kind of illness that we're seeing being deployed against journalists all right nick watters from cat joining us from london thank you very much. now the way for protests against the

virus the u.k.'s plan to introduce a 14 day quarantine for people arriving from abroad is being criticised with concerns that it may have a limited impact on public health and in new zealand prime minister just said the arden said her government will consider relaxing all restrictions sooner than planned as the country's fight against the virus is progressing ahead of schedule. health care workers around the world are carrying a heavy burden in this pandemic and that burden can take a physical and psychological toll it is even worse when they are expected to do their lifesaving work without protective clothing across latin america health care workers say that to save lives they're having to risk their own. this is what a medical professional dealing with covert 19 should look like but most health care workers across latin america can only dream about having access to this sort of equipment. publicly hailed as the heroes of the pandemic front line health
2:13 pm
care workers in many countries like here in peru are protesting against a lack of personal protective equipment in military and mexico as well healthcare professionals have denounced what they see as systemic violations to their right to safe and healthy working conditions. we are asked to reuse our uniforms just sold them from cloth they want us to wash or reuse our n $95.00 masks after several of our colleagues have become infected and even died we want the authorities to listen we want to quit meant so we can work. hard in colombia the rising worldwide demand and a decentralized privately administrative health care sector have caused grief shortages and an attempt to cash in on the crisis medical supply stores have started popping up in the capital bogota from full body suits to surgical gloves
2:14 pm
a seemingly endless stock of much needed equipment but there's a catch. even though protective gear can be purchased quite easily here and columbia adequate masks are expensive and often fake like this one but for many medical professionals entering this dangerous bargain is the only shot they have at finding at least some kind of protection. maryanna treats patients in bogata to protect her little son from the virus she moved out of the family home 2 months ago and to protect herself from exposure at work she tried to take matters into her own hands. we received a private donation of n $95.00 masks and some face shields then we took it upon ourselves to buy protective overalls. but we weren't allowed to use this equipment at the hospital. administration told us that we were only authorized to use what they provided for us. at the time that was merely
2:15 pm
a conventional mask. while. i was then reprimanded by my superiors it wasn't a big deal but it made me very sad to see that on top of them not guaranteeing our safety they cause problems when we try to take care of ourselves lack of protection in colombia is especially problematic because of an idiosyncrasy in the country's health care system. and who grow you in an aggravating factor we're seeing a lot more of here in colombia than in other countries is that health care workers are usually employed in more than one hospital between 40 and 60 percent of them work in 3 facilities they travel back and forth between them and that makes the handling of a pandemic with the kind of transmission rate we're currently seeing very difficult . to ensure protection of exposed health care workers a judge in columbia recently ruled in favor of a group of doctors who sued the health ministry now all hospitals are obliged to
2:16 pm
provide adequate equipment for their staff but for the over 1000 medical professionals in the country who have already contracted the virus that decision comes too late for. that report from nicole fluke she is now back in germany and joins us for more on the story hi nicole we just saw there that the hospital staff in colombia need to actually appear their own protective equipment why isn't medical grade equipment being provided for them by their places of work. i said we well while in many countries across latin america that can be attributed to a lack of emergency funding or administrative gridlock the case in colombia is a little different because even public hospitals are being administrators by private companies and these privately run entities just can't compete in the bidding war that's going on across the globe right now some 94 percent of
2:17 pm
these companies are saying that they're having problems purchasing p.-p. . especially those much talked about and 95 lasts the colombian government has promised to step in they have allocated some 5600000 euros for protective equipment for hospital staff in the country but that's not nearly enough according to the columbia medical association $103000000.00 euros would be needed to provide adequate protection for all hospital workers and that includes not only doctors and nurses but also janitors and cleaning personnel all those people who are constantly exposed to a highly contaminated environment and some health care workers are speaking up about these shortages and facing consequences for a day even someone you spoke to would tell us more about that. yeah whereas the nurse that we spoke to for this report publicly spoke out about the
2:18 pm
lack of protective equipment at her hospital was forced to leave her job shortly after she spoke to us she told me that it wasn't directly related to the interview she gave me but that it definitely had something to do with her being perceived as a troublemaker for calling out these shortcomings and that's something that we're seeing very often across the western hemisphere a case of point out would be nicaragua for example where the government has played an active role in downplaying the significance of covert 19 where health care professionals are reporting that they're being harassed and even fired for bringing their own equipment to work and that somehow recognizing that there is actually a threat or even speaking about the virus not even critically about the handling of the government or the institutions they work for so that's just really goes to show how important it is to ensure freedom of speech for health care professionals during these times not only to call out shortcomings of their own institutions but
2:19 pm
also to sort of educate the public about the significance of this virus when their governments fail to do so and it comes as the w.h.o. now says they consider a central and south america hotspots for transmission of the corona virus so why are we seeing a spike in cases in that part of the world. exactly the americas which of course include the us are now home to 5 of the 10 countries that have seen most new infections in the past days and just the caseload is rising rapidly and a lot of countries in latin america that can be attributed to do especially one thing there's a high level of it is formality and a lot of countries in the caribbean and central america and south america that have been or still are under strict lock down and i'll kind of forced to ease restrictions to keep the economy from collapsing and get people back to work so
2:20 pm
they can they can earn a living so with more people out on the street of course the infection rate tends to rise but we're also seeing a spike because a lot of countries are now testing more than before. many countries across latin america have spent the past weeks and months ramping up their testing capacities and there's more tests being done of course there will be more positive cases and the focus now lies on vulnerable regions like the amazon in countries like haiti with the already very precarious health care infrastructures that tend or threatened to collapse under a major outbreak city our debt is nicole reporting for us thank you. turkey has started easing coronavirus restrictions with just 4 and a half 1000 deaths and a population of 83000000 the government has boasted about its success in handling the pandemic now restaurants are beginning to walk on customers and beaches have

2:23 pm
right while the authorities try to make sure that hygiene and distancing guidelines of followed but some still have the feeling that everything is going a bit too fast. you know trick or could i even feel scared to be outside today the cafes are kind of crowded to me the restrooms to me i don't know how people can be brave enough to sit together at such close distances again will the gold rush run on the american people should be more cautious we need to wear on masks i think it will be over soon or if everybody takes care of themselves back at the grand bazaar many shop owners are eager to get their businesses on track although they know it will probably take some time until the crowds reading return the. their opinion chamber of commerce in beijing wants china to slash airline subsidies it is
