when i was asian decries a lack of leadership against the pandemic brazil is one of the epicenters with more than 50 deaths with more than. with more than 50000 deaths and more than a 1000000 cases i'm phil gayle and this is the day. coronavirus pandemic has left brazil naked in front of the world. absolutely. but i feel a headache weakness sometimes i can feel it in my heart. i feel weak. i'm afraid of losing my loved ones too and mainly because there's no remedy no cure but we know the primary so much more than. just. a social crisis and in many countries
6:03 am
a political crisis. that has exposed many quality historical social injustices. also on the day as the u.s. and russia open arms control talks china declines america's invitation. if you sports wall to reach agreements we're probably going to make a deal with russia or our. china will be very. welcome we begin the day in brazil the latest official figures say 50000 people have died from cough and 90 more than a 1000000 people have been infected making brazil the world's 2nd worst hit country after the united states president. has repeatedly downplayed the pandemic warning that the fallout from the economic shutdown will be worse than the virus itself but as the bodies piled up many brazilians are increasingly angry and what they see is a president's failed response.
6:04 am
out there rallying cry at this pro-democracy protests in brazil the capital brasilia tensions have been rising in recent months as the coronavirus pandemic has worsened and right wing presidential you've also merrill has repeatedly downplayed the health crisis here they're calling for his impeachment. but that we are here in defense of democracy and asking for. this president we use up the people's power and is committing atrocities he does not deserve to govern our country. by. over 50000 deaths more than a 1000000 confirmed cases brazil is currently the number 2 hot spot in the world health crisis some experts say the real number of cases is higher because many are
6:05 am
missed through a lack of testing and in addition to the government's poor response to the virus brazil is a patient with preexisting conditions. coronavirus 10 demick has left brazil naked in front of the world it has exposed social inequality of historic. well social injustices and the incompetence of public authorities it is the responsibility of those who have governed the country in recent years there is no way to associate these figures with the behavior of the president of the republic. is usually. brought up but it's going to the people according to the ngo doctors without borders nurses in brazil are dying of covert $900.00 faster than any other country in the world almost $100.00 per month since brazil confirmed its 1st case of the novel coronavirus at the end of february 2 health ministers have left office following clashes with the president one was fired while the other quits after just 4 weeks currently the government has no permanent health
6:06 am
minister. but clearly the president still has a lot of support even though according to the w.h.o. brazil had added more than $54000.00 cases in the previous 24 hours. straight to brazil where were we joined correspondent. in rio de janeiro welcome to the day how was the president's apparently dismissive attitude to this health crisis is apparent in day to day life what's missing. what's not missing other masks we can see really almost 100 percent of the population wearing masks especially in public transport and in supermarkets we can also see many brazilians and going out more than before since the last week people are getting together at the sea from people are at the beaches and they are drinking beer having barbecue even in the night so in the last days police dispersed several
6:07 am
times some party folks out on the sea front so brazilians are trying to get back to normal life which is really worrying for many experts in this at this stage of the crisis so whose decision is that who actually controls brazil's lockdown is it the president. it's the president but especially on local and regional level the mayors and the governors who are more responsible for these issues here on local ground on the level here in region narrow and in some polo and rio on both mega cities we've seen in the last days a reopening by these local authorities the shopping centers opened and the football the local soccer cup is back on track ever already been to matches so people think now with the with the reopening of some parts of the society that they might get
6:08 am
back to the day in the life they had before this crisis and this is really a risk let's be honest the brazilians i can see here in a way they are not as disciplined as we can see as we saw in many parts of europe so if states and city oath or tears are responsible for these the lockdowns why it's a president being blamed for the timing of this crisis. because both an hour as a president setting the the way let's say he's he's giving the guidelines and he's trying to yes certainly no pinion and this is really important message to many brazilians when he's talking in the evening and national t.v. and he already always downplayed the crisis and the risk of the danger of this coronavirus crisis so he's responsible as well and he can act as a president sending along ventilators to some affected regions he can send doctors
6:09 am
he is he has a lot of money and can help affected and when a regions and he did this really. late and not to an extent which many regions would have needed. the economy is seems to be the president's big concern about about various this pandemic and the lockdown give us an idea of the effect the pandemic is having on brazil's economy experts estimate that the recession with this year will be at around minus 8 percent and we have to remember and to remind us that brazil wanted. to be back on track economically they wanted to forget the strong the heaviest crisis in the last 10 years they've had in the last century so the country is now back in an economic crisis it's really. not a good situation for many companies for people on the ground because they suffered
6:10 am
a lot in the last 10 years and it will be one more last year for many brazilian companies and for many citizens as for the citizens. caught between a rock and a hard place on the one hand. the economy is going down the tubes that are presumably best as increasing employment so of course they want everything to reopen so they can at least try and put food on the table. yes that's the strategic point of what's an hour he wants to be popular among everitt brazilians and we can estimate that around 30 to 40 percent minimum are on this track they want to go back to work they have death to pay back they have informal jobs you can't imagine how many millions here in brazil are working in form of jobs from day to day and they have no income so far and some of them can't get
6:11 am
a hand on the emergency assistance which the government provides so it's a really really difficult situation for many of them so yes many are hoping that economy is getting back on track even the crisis being still not. being sort of ending in these days which ok thanks for joining us mathias evarts in b. attention. here in germany more than 3800 people as a meat packing plant have tested positive for corona virus thousands of people in the western town of goods as well have been quarantined leaders in the state of north rhine-westphalia say they're doing everything they can to avoid reimposing a white a lockdown. it's an outbreak that has shocked germany day after day the number of infected 10 u.s. employees has risen to over 1300 today but there are indications that the planned
6:12 am
to may have ignored warning signs ahead of the outbreak. this video shows the company canteen in april of this year overcrowded despite germany's supposed social distancing restrictions and this widely circulated recording and employ you can be heard voicing her concern about the situation this is tenuous she says in the video that was leaked online how are we supposed to protect ourselves. 10 years as one of germany's biggest meat processing companies its clients include german supermarket giants algae and. the mass outbreak has sparked protests and heated debate about working conditions at plants. will do anything in our power to shed light onto the darkness in the sector. and will certainly trying to keep the virus from spilling over to the general public. the outbreak at tonya's has raised
6:13 am
fears of a super spreader event in the country's west where germany's 1st major outbreak happened over winter the latest developments have put north rhine-westphalia as premier i mean lush out on the defensive he has now signalled he's considering a larger quarantine in the area to control the outbreak. doorstep this can be found at this specific company but we still cannot rule out a wider lockdown. look the moment. the plans call on her has promised to take full responsibility for the outbreak but confidence is dwindling and the science management whose team many blame for what has become a major crisis. well. safe talk to us from outside one of the residences where workers have been quarantine lock down the quarantine here couldn't be any more strict what we're seeing what you're seeing
6:14 am
behind me is a large collective housing unit for the workers from the. the tourney's factory and they are surrounded by a fence just like the houses across the street and here in this residential area just 20 minutes by car from the slaughterhouse that accounts for about 6 to 700 workers and like i said the conditions of the quarantine are very strict they have food delivered to them by truck it seems like once a day from the turn us company and right now medical workers are doing tests on all the residents are trying to knock off every name from the list that they have to test everybody who works at the factory the people who live here can't come out of this fence there is no gate has to be opened by with a screw and so it's very secure here but on the other hand a lot of workers don't live in these collective housing units they live rather in smaller apartments they're harder to locate. and it's hard to know if they're
6:15 am
coming going out of the house they're more under self quarantine in the region the government is confident that they have they have this under control that the virus is only spreading among people who work at that factory here the turn is factory so they think that it's remained within the community hasn't spread to the wider community they're doing the. test as you can see here to make sure that that is the case they want to know exactly how many people have the virus and if they can keep it contained within the community then they don't have to lock down the regional schools and kindergartens have been closed down here but otherwise people can go about their daily business and locals told us that the community of workers here many of whom who come from romania and bulgaria are so segregated anyway that they feel confident they haven't had contact with them at the same time there is a lot of discrepancies here in where the workers actually live at 1st 30 percent of the addresses of the workers couldn't be located so there's a lot of questions that remain whether or not this virus can be contained.
6:16 am
the northern region of lombardi was the epicenter of europe's corona virus outbreak one point the more than 16000 deaths one of the hardest hit towns was but wow locals say every family has been touched by tragedy now many are calling for those responsible to be held accountable to. reports. images that are hard to forget military trucks loaded with coffins. doctors and nurses frontline fighters and overloaded hospital. which travel to battle a city that is still in mourning 1st stop the old town usually a tourist hot spot here we meet. a community worker things have calmed down now unlike at the start of the crisis. after
6:17 am
a few days some of us started breaking down emotionally they were sobbing like babies but it was partly the pressure but also because we were dealing with people who had seen 2 or 3 of their family members die one after the other. during our bailo was among the founders of superbad and initiative to help those who couldn't help themselves 200 volunteers joined him they delivered food and medicines to cover 1000 patients relief for suffering city everybody knows somebody who died of covert 19 the mural you can see behind me has become the symbol of the crisis a nurse with wings holding italy in her arms italian artist franco to vali dedicated it to health workers from the wall of bergen was public hospital the image that spreads across the world. at berga most men cemetery visit the
6:18 am
grace of people who died of. father beg tells us the number of fatalities was so high that many bodies had to be transported to cities at the peak of the crisis more than 130 coffins were stored here in his church or. body and. it was unsettling because you know being here like the. after a week or 10 days i started smelling not only the smell of pine trees and fur trees but something else that i stopped seeing mass by myself among the coffins. imagine all the body people and are grieving for the loss of fluffed ones but they're also beginning to ask questions they want to know why their region number d. which is one of the richest in italy was so hard hit stefan of course grandfather died
6:19 am
in a care home he's now collecting the stories of other covered 9000 victims we just want to know the truth we want to know if it was unjustified or if there is a high level of power in the heart is not the doctor or sort of nurses that have the possibility to contain this feeling or even to avoid their school and others say the worst affected parts of the region should have been closed down at an early states they criticised the region's far right president in milan for putting profits before people to see them before we find out who is responsible we have to understand whether or not we made mistakes from the regions point a few i think we try to give all possible answers and take all possible preventions at a time when we were confronting an extraordinary situation at a time when nobody knew much about the virus. from back in bed again will kyoto bio says the citizens will have to take things into their own hands his initiative
6:20 am
superbad again will start organizing concerts to support local artists up in we have to be careful we can't be too cheerful because we're doing this in a city in a province that is in mourning or project wants to be a him to life not just going back to work but a real new start a new start based on human relations. by lawyers confident that over time his city will manage to recover but that optimism a stamp and bud's a fear of a 2nd wave of infections. senior diplomats from the united states and russia are in vienna to discuss arms control 8 months ahead of the expiration of the new start weapons deal between them the u.s. and russia controlled more than 90 percent of the world's nuclear weapons with each possessing war than $6000.00 warheads china which declined the u.s.
6:21 am
is invitation to the talks is far behind with around $300.00 european nuclear powers france and the u.k. have 30200 respectively and the other countries know to have nuclear capabilities that israel india pakistan and north korea each have fewer than $200.00 warheads so here's a look at how the u.s. and russia arrived at this point. this state of u.s. russian arms control negotiations today makes the cold war look congenial by comparison the intermediate range nuclear missile treaty or i.n.f. was signed by a us president ronald reagan and soviet leader mikhail gorbachev in 1987 it was considered a cornerstone of euro atlantic security it eliminated land based missiles and launchers with a range of 502-5500 kilometers those considered most likely to target europe if coming from russia but decades later in 2014 the obama administration produced
6:22 am
evidence russia had violated the treaty with a longer range missile and last year the target ministration quit the deal we can no longer be restricted by the treaty while russia shamelessly violates nato allies agreed russia had breached its obligations but they worried abandoning the deal altogether would mean an unbridled build up on both sides it is very easy to start that we see the most of your honesty today but i still believe if you supports wall to reach agreements with her show or control however just last month again citing russian violations the u.s. pulled out of the open skies treaty which allows signatories to fly over each other's territory and keep an eye on military movements this move cassis shadow over negotiations on the last remaining u.s. russia arms control treaty new start which expires in february unless washington
6:23 am
and moscow agree to continue it while russian president vladimir putin says he'll sign it u.s. president donald trump has ranged from being ambivalent about extending the deal to being extremely ambitious about expanding it we're probably going to make a deal with russia or are pretty sure it will be very loaded at that but experts say even if china expressed interest will. it hasn't there's far too little time to forge a broader agreement before new start is finished. well do doctors tell you shultz is monitoring those talks his her assessments of the 1st round of meetings the 2 negotiators when they left this round simply said we'll see on the russian side said well we're always hopeful they do have another day of talks tomorrow but it wasn't clear coming into this round how much hope either side could really have with the trumpet ministration demanding that china join the talks in fact they went so far as to set
6:24 am
a seat at the table with the chinese flag today even though the chinese had made no commitment whatsoever to come to the talks so that doesn't seem to be a way to talk them into joining arms control talks by shaming them in this way so it's really not clear how much hope we have at this point but again there is another day that they can try tomorrow with the u.s. and russian sides as you heard earlier the u.s. and russia each have more than $6000.00 nuclear warheads and china has just a few 100 so they keep saying that once the u.s. and russia have reduced their arsenals to something more in the range of what china possesses then it might be time to actually sit at the table and have trilateral talks on a more equal basis at this point though china says it's not interested. fine leave something personal from us here at news 5 years ago today we launched a new channel this channel for this studio the 30000 news shows we've produced
6:25 am

6:26 am
