ends it. malaria must. millions live. this is g.w. news live from berlin tonight the man who once dismissed code 19 as just a little flu now has the disease himself brazil's president. tells the world he has tested positive for the corona virus change his stance on social distancing will and if any follow the infection also coming up tonight president trump formally pulls the us out of the world health organisation accusing it of being

a puppet of china it comes as the number of new infections continues to soar in the u.s. plus hong kong's leader kerry lam issuing a harsh warning to anyone called violating the new controversial security law for democracy activists fear that there will be more suppression of dissent and that security law it's causing tech giants such as soon facebook and twitter to reconsider being in hong kong even ticked off the chinese own video clip that says it's pulling out of the territory. i'm bring to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome under his face mask it was not clear whether brazil's president. was red faced with embarrassment or anger but

tonight we know with certainty the man who has ridiculed steps to contain the coronavirus that man has tested positive for himself will have to wait and see whether he still believes as he has said before that measures to prevent his fellow countrymen from catching could 19 whether those efforts are not worth the. from the very beginning of the outbreak of which i have also repeatedly played down the risks of the corona virus and initially described this as a little flu he also flouted social distancing recommendations and other measures including wearing face masks in public. has been tested 3 times previously all came back negative however on tuesday the brazilian rightwing leader confirmed to local media he had tested positive for covert 19 or soon to be a big love. don't it on sunday with a certain feeling of being on well the cult was a monday with newsier tiredness

a bit of muscle pain and the fever that reached 38 degrees in the late afternoon girls i then thought that with the symptoms and with the presidential don't believe in it to be a possible curvy 1000 infection i had a c.t. scan at a military hospital here in brasilia my lungs were clear. brazil is the 2nd worst hit country in the world after the us with more than 65000 deaths and at least 1600000 coronavirus cases. despite this pass restaurants and other businesses are slowly reopening the people still have doubts then they're getting as long as we follow the safety measures with space between the tables i think it's worth reopening but we are the only ones in here but if for instance there's someone on another table i think i would probably feel

uncomfortable the w.h.o. has one the pandemic is far from over as it's taking its toll around the world participants that have now been moved 11400000 cases of corbett 19 and more than 535000 lives have been lost. the outbreak is accelerating and we have clearly not reached the peak will the pundit make them out how folk in isolation also place to proceed in prices and also not only a speedy recovery in his own battle against the conference finals. we'll have more on this let's go now to rio de janeiro talk to journalist much he is able he's been following this story for us good evening to you might see is does this have any impact on both scenarios ability to execute the office of president. but so no himself says no and he wants to go on to govern the country from his home

by video conference so for at the moment it's not sure if he would do so really or if rice president. replace him and bad in the end it depends on the severity of the symptoms of both scenarios so the next days will be turbulent him brazil monday as we know that president also nars says that he is taking the anti-malaria drug that has been pushed by u.s. president donald trump now doctors say that that medication does not work against kovac 19 so do we know why is also not taking it. yeah i think he says he still believes in this medicine simply as that he he thinks it can help he's convinced by it instead of the critics by experts. recent study in man hours in the amazon capital of brazil showed that cruel kind

can. cause heart attacks can of course problems which haven't been there before so it is not recommended by experts for all type of patients so. taking it in the end maybe because his role model donald trump also promotes this type of medicine we know that there is a growing list of political leaders who have become infected with the coronavirus some have changed their policies about the virus some have not how do you think this will impact the policies of president bush. i think personally that it won't have a huge impact on his policies in future because it's an hour is really keen to get a common new economy back on track he needs a strong economy in order to be reelected in 2 years and this is main aim to he wants to achieve and on the other hand he's in the middle of

a political crisis many ministers stepped back in the last weeks and months so he still he was a radical in the corona cries and i think i think he will go on like this because he is under pressure. politically and that means he might not change too much correspondence yes it hurts reporting tonight from rio de janeiro in brazil but yes thank you. the united states has formally launched an application to withdraw from the world health organization if follows threats from u.s. president double trump to leave the w.h.o. over disagreements about how to respond to the global pandemic trump accuses the u.n. agency of pushing chinese misinformation although trump crazed china's handling of the outbreak at the beginning of the year the u.s. was the largest financial contributor to the w.h.o. . well the united states remains the country hardest hit by the corona virus and it

is getting worse despite short rises in new code $9000.00 cases across the country many areas are going ahead with reopening and that includes the southern state of georgia around a 1000 people there each day are testing positive but officials are easing restrictions designed to control the pandemic as public life resumes african-americans are among those facing the greatest risk. things look like they're getting back to normal at lake allatoona just 20 miles northeast of georgia's capital atlanta a lot of boaters are back on the water and nobody's wearing a mask in downtown atlanta and across the entire state a growing number of shops and restaurants are reopening back in business and at work by order of the governor but not so fast with deacon of county atlanta if you drive a fairly common sign these days we're told that predominantly affluent african-americans

live here however today long lines of cars from the parking lot again for a box of vegetables and tobacco frozen chicken breasts or car and household. was going to be broke. i got you know never mind that i'll give you this is john beals he's a chef and used to have a thriving catering business then cope with 1000 arrows on a corner selling barbecue feel says the state's decision to loosen restrictions early and widely means he can work and feed his family but of course he knows about the potential health risks and it makes him feel uneasy. oh how can you open a country with no peer it's like seeing the people out to discount to see what happens if so many words like guinea pig african-americans living in atlanta since directly under privileged communities have suffered the most from the covert 19 lockdown and. so from what many say was

a hasty reopening of the state they were low paying jobs to live in so-called food deserts with no access to healthy nutrition let alone quality health care or education yet they are often so-called front line workers with no other options for the coronavirus death rate of black americans is roughly $2.00 times higher than that off white and asian americans and twice as high as the death rate for latinos we meet pastor anthony moti he says by reopening the state for business too quickly the governor willfully put primarily african-american lives in danger what we're doing is african-american leaders. use mess. the past as president trump is ultimately to blame for ignoring the disproportionate number of african-americans dying from covert 19

across the country. pay a heavy price for this. in the presidential elections come this november for now he wants his congregation to stay home urging them not to go to work or even come to church. well here's a look at some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world russian authorities have detained former journalist eve on sufferance and charged him with treason prosecutors say he passed the secrets to an unnamed nato country. as an aide to the head of russia's space agency has denied the accusations a bus crash in southwest china has claimed 21 lives when it plunged into a reservoir rescuers say 15 people survived the passengers include high school students taking nationwide university entrance exam. new york regulators say deutsch has agreed to pay $150000000.00 to settle claims that it broke compliance

video has emerged appearing to show masked men attacking the boats of migrants trying to reach greece the identity of the attackers remains unclear but an investigation by d.w. news and belling cat research has uncovered information suggesting the attackers may be linked to the greek coast guard athens has denied any connection. off greece poses a puzzling question was a disturbing answer more migrant boats are leaving turkey for the e.u. but on the greek island of last bus there hasn't been an increase in a rival as. there were 19 people on the spot but that one. is 16 year old from afghanistan to these pictures he said it was shortly after masked men attacked them from ending the boat was in greek waters off last bus on the 5th of june this year the boy doesn't want to be identified. by.

the hour much. much of the court 2 men have. received they are wearing black marks on their faces and one have. all or no more. you why we should connect it. we analyze dozens of similar reports and videos comparing them was jus data such as coastlines and the position of the sun along with information from emergency calls official reports and eyewitness accounts our conclusion refugees and migrants are being kept away from the greek coast at times by force it seems smart men often attack migrant boats on the open seas damaging them so they can't be steered and leaving them adrift sometimes they even actively fools the boats back into to push water as a tactic known as push back. these prospects i need to let against international law but it's difficult to establish for certain who these messman actually are even

though the evidence is apparently of all the. evidence such as this video. to detail journalists itself both structures let our colleagues from the investigative platforms battling cat and light house reports to clearly identify the d.m.v. as belonging to a greek coast guard ship. but greece denies using illegal methods the coast guard told t w. the operations conducted by a harbor police and hellenic coast guard are in accordance with international law and international conventions we also asked the european border agency frontex which works closely with the greek coast guard their answer didn't refer to the incidents in question they just said all of their border control operations conformed to the highest standards my question to context you say you don't know but how could you not know and what steps have you taken to rebut what we have as

evidence. hierarchy has been watching migrants moving across the gnc for years and has seen a rise in the number of pushbacks she has been monitoring the situation for the european center for constitutional and human rights. the e.u. is expected to stand up for a new law to be respected and we haven't seen that we have seen it in public statements made by representatives of institutions and we haven't seen it in any sort of legal action that new institutions have to power to take against member states not respected. members of the european parliament and the un high commission for refugees are demanding an official investigation they say greece has the right to defend its borders but it must do so within international law.

hong kong's chief executive kerri lamb is defending the new controversial security law imposed by beijing last week lam says the changes will make hong kong safer by preventing violent protest and she is warning people not to break the law so the whole government will take crystal implement this law and i for one those radicals not to attempt to vote lawful crossing the red line because the consequences of breaching this law. carry lamb speaking there earlier today one of the best known figures in hong kong's pro-democracy movement is joshua wall we spoke with him earlier and he was defiant about keeping up the push for political reform in hong kong political crisis a sockpuppet because system reform asked later in the situation and even allowing polish to call the house

a search warrant and overwrite one common law system by the mainland rule by a hotline i guess that's not the way out no matter what happened was they'll continue to fight for freedom and also we wish the well to know that how the race of hong kong people and ex-pat life in the hall might be extradited to china and we might not be serving joe sentence at home and it will and we might be to start the south joe sentence in beijing that's the french generated by beijing last sentence and it's not the things that we have imagined by activists in the previous day but that's not the phrase the frets generate i have a comedy 40. that was hong kong democracy activists just want speaking with us earlier western governments are finding themselves in a dilemma over how to react to this new security law in hong kong they don't like it but they have to tread carefully because china is an important trading partner. street battles and angry crowds in home call it in europe the protests to cell

phone coming woods alone the e.u. has criticised the homecoming security law that several european countries have new economic ties with china for instance through the belgian road initiative which could make them reluctant to point a finger at beijing. germany which no holds the e.u. council presidency might be expected to use its leverage to get tough with china but chancellor merkel hardly sounds urgent dimensionally its function in human rights questions are always on the agenda you know bilateral talks with china that includes a human rights dialogue which we want to continue to hear. china is germany's biggest trading partner more than 200000000000 euros worth of goods are traded between the 2 countries annually but no government wants to be seen to tread softly when fundamental rights are being challenged. there are calls for a more robust approach from an unexpected quarter the leader of germany's business

friendly free democrats on. kong was a place with a lively civil society as well as great economic freedom and the rule of law both of those are now being called into question we should not make it a question of either economy or democracy we should make the case for the idea of freedom and for reliable agreements. for now the e.u. is pressing ahead with plans to hold a summit later this year hosted by the german government but that risk sending a signal that relations can continue largely unaffected by the scenes in hong kong some believe this might be the moment for berlin to take a stand. people in hong kong have in recent months been quite disappointed by the reaction in germany it's been noted that germany really basically doesn't say anything in public and is very has a very weak response to pressure from china there is

a sense that germany's not living up to. 2 weeks you know to expectations at this point the chancellor's instinct is to keep open and push for change behind the scenes. says china shows its growing assertiveness in hong kong europe's values now being tested. and global tech giants are just facebook twitter zoom and tick tock are scaling back their presence in hong kong because of that new security law people in the territory are worried that this will erode even further their freedom of expression on law. while web users in mainland china have to negotiate a powerful censorship system hong kong's internet is free and open until now anyway google facebook what's up telegram on twitter of all stop taking requests for user data from hong kong online freedom of expression in the city is seen as under threat i think where the ok all to fear he's already is. all

about cyber special people. the new law means police can force internet companies to remove content breaching online rules can lead to jail or a fine. peter orders are for doing so i believe the government will take further action towards these social media platforms. i think it's possible we will be able to use these apps in the future. perhaps. the move piles pressure on chinese owned firms trying to expand internationally like tick tock tick tock rejects allegations beijing could use its services to spy on users. tick-tock has taken its up out of hong kong was soon which is being criticized for censoring content critical of china has poles tongue calling data processing requests after the new law the hong kong security law has brought the

world's attention to internet security and china. and for more on this story now i'm joined by the to be reporter. let's start with to talk why is to talk pulling out of hong kong so the official on such a tough question is that the doing it in light of recent events very vague statements leaves a lot of things on on said are they doing this to peace beijing are they doing this because beijing is telling them to do so or is this some kind of you know heroic move to show that they care about freedom of expression in hong kong by don's which is the parent company they say they do not take any orders from beijing or do they share any daughter with beijing but there have been cases in the past where they have censored content or taken down consent specifically relating to pro-democracy movements posts from hong kong and mistreatment of we go muslims of minority and china and. the u.s. tech giants you know reassessing their positions on hong kong they face

restrictions or bans in mainland china will we now see that happen in hong kong as well now is that going to happen i mean it remains to be seen but you could look at this new security you know at the beginning. basically the the social great firewall. of china or you know covering hong kong. or social media platforms and individuals can be fined $10000.00 euros or they can be put in jail for up to a year for content that is critical of the government so the media companies really have to reassess if they comply with these laws and the law you know very vague what about. it is going to pull out of hong kong but we have to remember it is a chinese company it's owned by a company in beijing so why is it so controversial i mean you can almost say now that that has the come proxy or a symbol of the kind of rising influence of china in the world just you know not

long ago it was banned in india over a border conflict between those countries just yesterday at my compare the u.s. secretary of state said that the united states might be thinking of banning the app as well even went so far to say that if you use the app. to go straight to the chinese communist party take talk have respond that they were refuting that. this happens they have what they have in. themselves from their own chinese. roots traded that you know that hides in the form of disney executive as their see so they kind of have a need to find get the balance right and i'm not sure if they've gotten the balance right between the kind of chinese route and their western. work doesn't seem to be too successful if you've got that they're considering banning it in the united states that's for sure always thank you. on sports news known 2 time world champion fernando alonso is set to return to formula one with reno in 2021 having retired
