states race to loosen their lock downs even as the virus spreads relentlessly will get 1st hand and that is just from washington. to last a new leaf on fragment of bone gives hopes of finding out what really happened to a group of students murdered in mexico in 2014 but it also raises questions about corruption in the original investigation of the massacre. i'm told me a lot of why it's good to have you with us under his face mask it wasn't clear whether brazil's president gyre both or not all was red faced with embarrassment or anger but now we know with certainty the man who has ridiculed steps to contain the corona virus has tested positive for it himself we'll have to wait and see whether bolton are still believes as you said before that measures to prevent his fellow country men catching covert 19 are not worth the effort. 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 choose day the brazilian rightwing leader confirmed to local media he had tested positive for covert 19. or still a bit of a laugh when i don't it on sunday with a certain feeling of being on well the cold was a monday with newsier tiredness a bit of muscle pain and a fever that reached 38 degrees in the late afternoon girls i then thought that with the symptoms and with the presidential doctor believing it to be a possible curve in 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 outguess and they're getting as long as we follow the safety measures 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 11400000 cases of course at 19 and more than 535000 lives have been lost. the outbreak is

accelerating. and we have clearly not reached the peak will be pondered weak the motown folk in isolation also placed a precinct in president. a speedy recovery in his own battle against the crew from the fires. for more on this let's go over to rio de janeiro where journalist mathias aber has been following this story for us but here's 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 the severity of his symptoms

if he 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 into both rose 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 balls in our 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's no scientific evidence that chloroquine 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 it's still 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 chuse 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 to the same direction again much just a bit in real thank you. the united states has announced its formal withdrawal from the world health organization this follows threats from u.s. president donald trump to leave the w.h.o. over disagreements about how to respond to the global pandemic trouble accuses the un agency of quote pushing chinese misinformation although he praised china's handling of the outbreak at the beginning of the year the us was the largest financial contributor to the w.h.o. . and while trump accuses the w.h.o. of not handling the coronavirus crisis well his critics say that he is not handling the crisis well earlier we spoke to our washington bureau chief in a poll and asked what do u.s. citizens think the figures here in the united states are just devastating we learned that in texas today we had 10000 new infections there already more than

130000 americans died of the virus we have more than $3000000.00 americans being infected so the situation is tense and this is another scapegoat of trump he kind of once to push the guilt over to we age oh to say that they didn't handle the so-called china iris that's how he called calls covered 19 they didn't handle the crisis well and that he does everything well but i have to say the mood in the country is changing slowly with all these figures people all get more warry they are really afraid of catching it of getting seriously sick or even dying specially now as in many places the hospitals are just totally overwhelmed in florida they are running out of 1st care beds hospitals in. some texan cities are running out of space so the mood is slowly changing

our house to make a living but we fear for our lives. many hospitals have reached capacity and the country is scrambling to increase its intensive care units. this wedding hall has been filled with hospital beds 12 doctors staff the emergency treatment center. i mean is it that we have around 100 beds here we have patients with mild and less severe symptoms and even some without symptoms that have nowhere else to quarantine and. india has ramped up its testing . fear that the tests will reveal a rising number of infections. one small fragment of bone might hold the key to an unraveling to unraveling a mystery that shocked mexico and made the country a byword of gang violence and corruption a laboratory in austria says it has
