get 1st hand analysis from washington. plus is wearing a mask in public a civic duty or an infringement of civil rights to take a look at the actual battle raging in the u.s. over the wearing of face coverings in public during the pandemic. i'm told me a lot of ball it's good to have you with us under his face mask it wasn't clear whether brazil's president jalal bowl so narrow was red faced with embarrassment or anger but now we know it certainty the man who was ridiculed steps to contain the corona virus has tested positive for it himself well have to wait and see whether both so narrow it still believes as he said before that measures to to prevent his fellow countrymen catching covered 1000 are not worth the effort. from the very

beginning of the outbreak about 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 choose day the brazilian writes when they to confirm to local media he had tested positive for covert 19 or still a bit of a laugh when ok started on sunday with a certain feeling of being on well the cult was a monday with newsier tightness a bit of muscle pain under fever that reached 38 degrees in the names of the new girl fidelity thought that with the sentiments and with the presidential doctor believing 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 to out us and 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 w.h.o. has won the pandemic is far from over as it's taking its toll around the wild parties. that have now been moved 11400000 cases of corporate 19 and more than 535000 lives have been lost. the outbreak is

accelerating. and we have clearly not reached the peak will be pandemic the world health organization also wish to pursue president. a speedy recovery in his own battle against the current in the fires. more on this let's go over to rio de janeiro where journalist mathias aber has been following this story for us but he has does this have any impact on balls and arrows ability to be president. he says he will go on as before he just wants to govern the country by his presidential palace where he lives he going to make some video conferences go on as before because his symptoms so far are not really strong so he's going to doing trying to do this but in the end it depends on. his symptoms if you can do so or if his recent

president. will have to take over at one moment so far it seems he's trying to do it by the year the times are now really turbulent here in brazil it's not sure what's going to happen the next days you know both norah says he's taking the anti malaria drug pushed by us president donald trump the doctors say the medication does not necessarily work against covert 19 so why is ball so narrow taking it. he simply believes in it he says so 2 hours ago he talked to his followers on a facebook live message saying on camera that taking a pill of clerking in front of the camera and saying that he believes in it knowing that there is no scientific evidence that caribbean really works so he's ignoring a recent study done in man hours the amazon capital of brazil where scientists showed that it can cause heart attacks so. just following his role model donald

trump who is on the same path when some political leaders get infected they change their policies others don't and let's look at brazil the country is registered over 1200 additional coronavirus deaths on choose day alone how do you think this will impact on our oh it's policies so far chorused that this crisis will be longer and will last longer this is one consequence of his politics and his policy to reopen for example shopping centers and restaurants and i think he might not change his views and his opinion on the crisis because his motto is business 1st economy 1st in order to be reelected in 2 years so i think he will stay the same president as before and all the signs that we see so far are going

into the same direction a much is a vote in real thank you. now the united states has announced its formal withdrawal from the world health organization this for follows threats from the u.s. president donald trump to leave the w. chill over disagreements about how to respond to the global pandemic trump accuses the u.n. agency of court pushing chinese misinformation although he's praised 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. . let's cross over to the washington bureau chief in this poll in a president trump has been threatening that the u.s. would withdraw the application is now in this is official but it comes into effect in a year and they'll be elections in november so where does this leave the us right

so a good job by even the candidate from the democrats already announced that he will kind of change this when he's the 1st stay in office and as the elections are taking place in november and then he might joe biden might be sworn in generally that would leave him enough time to take this withdrawal back trump accuses the w.h.o. of not handling the crisis well this coronavirus crisis meanwhile his critics say he is not handling the crisis well what do americans think. right so i mean this is another political stand right i mean the figures here in the united states are just devastating the learned that in texas today we had 10000 new infections there already more than 130000 americans died of the virus we have more than 3000000 americans being infected so the situation is

tense and this is another scapegoat of trump he kind of once to push the guild over to we age oh to say that they didn't handle the so-called china iris that's how he called calls covert 19 they didn't handle that crisis well in that he does everything well but i have to say the mood in the country is changing slowly with all these figures people i'll get more warry really afraid of catching it of getting seriously sick or even dying specially not always in many places the hospitals are just totally overwhelmed in florida they are running out of 1st care beds hospitals in. some texas cities are running out of space so the mood is slowly changing. as you mentioned the numbers of infections are astounding as well as the rate at which people are getting infection infected yet there are plans to reopen schools what's behind that.

yes right he says you know the costs of keeping kids longer at home are higher than the cost of the virus itself so what's behind that he already pushes businesses to open again he wants to go back to normal as his biggest fear is the economy keeps shrinking and he knows that really will diminish his chances to get reelected in november and that's basically all he cares for that is more important for him than the health and the safety of the people of the united states and in a school in washington thank you for that assessment it's only been a few months and facemasks have become a part of everyday life in most parts of the world experts say wearing these masks is imperative when trying to slow the spread of the corona virus but nowhere is the discussion around mosque wearing probably as polarizing as in the united states far

from being merely tired of them many people simply have never wanted to wear them are you going to allow the government to tell you you have to wear a mask i. the time is now time for action thank you guys very much. anti maskers people who against the wide consensus of public health experts either want to limit mask wearing or are against them completely running any of them and similar reasoning over at the end i don't wear a mask for the same reason i don't on where underwear things got a breeze i care were you. that there were was. was that it was i was. right was. you are was was the world.

and on the other side critics have been taking the country's most prominent anti mask or so far to task in increasingly creative ways. just socks rule a slowdown. of mercury free. for the face of the surplus of the free. world. from his remark a dearth he might have even gotten the message he started to change his tune as of late to me not have no problem actually i had a mask on a show like the way i look ok i thought it was ok it was a dark black mask and i thought i'm a drunk and looked like the lone ranger but now i have no problem with that i think people feel good about of they should do it however the president's decreasing aversion to masks influences attitudes it will probably be mandatory mask wearing

policies that will make the difference the number of states requiring nose and mouth coverings like new york and california are increasing but calls are getting louder for a nationwide masking paul. proponents say national measures would decrease infection rates and save the country from another round of shutdowns and an estimated trillion dollar hit to its economy something most people would welcome maybe even and he massacres. the effort to get professional sports up and running in north america faced yet more setbacks on monday the n.b.a. is no law key bucs and sacramento kings closed their practice facilities due to positive covert 19 tests just as the basketball league prepares to resume its season in florida meanwhile in soccer f.c. dallas announced on monday that the team was withdrawing from the m.l.s. it's back torment due to 10 of the club's players testing positive for the
