President remember that so far 14000 brazilians have lost their lives we are not in the game we are facing a serious crisis of health life in the economy.

Despite that president Lopez Obrador announced a partial reopening starting a monday assuring us people that the pekin infections and has been reached john. We are at the point where we are beginning to have fewer cases but we have to be careful and not take it easy yet friday clowns appeared at various mexico city metro stations making sure passengers wear a mask wash their hands in maintain social distancing but whats clear across the region as latin america enters the worst phase of the pandemic is that this is no laughing matter alison and al jazeera. When earlier i spoke to the palace of terror from the Woodrow Wilson center in washington d. C. He says brazil could soon become the 2nd most infected country in the world. Both are not a will not change his attitude he cannot do it he is incapable of understanding the severity of this he thinks its all a ploy against him. And the fact the matter is however that brazil is had it in a very awful direction brazil could become in a few weeks time the 2nd largest coal the country in the world in the slums of rio in the slums of some power all of all other major cities in brazil that happens to have 30200 and. 10000000 people.

Yes President Donald Trump is valid to deliver corona virus vaccine by years end a new initiative hes dubbed operation warp speed but medical experts say thats an unrealistic deadline also efforts by the democrats to get a record 3 trillion dollar rescue package into law are likely to be doraine old i was there was how does the castro has more. At no time since the Great Depression have such a large number of americans sought help after losing their jobs and never in u. S. History has their spending at stores and restaurants fallen so quickly and so far now some of the members say lets take a pause lets take a pause do you think this virus is taking a pause do you think that the rent takes a pause do you think that putting food on the table and or the hunger that comes if you cant take a pause House Democrats advance yet another coronavirus rescue package on friday the 5th of a pandemic this one totaling 3 trillion dollars it seeks to extend Unemployment Benefits and send more checks to American Families and would bail out the Postal Service and address Election Security the republicans who control the senate have called it a partisan ideological wish list that will never become law the senate will not consider this bill the president will not sign it into law speaking from the white house rose garden into a background symphony of Truck Drivers protesting his handling of the pandemic President Trump announced the formation of a Fast Track Program to develop a vaccine and have 300000000 doses available by january when a vaccine is ready the u. S. Government will deploy every plane drunken soldier required to help distribute it to the American People as quickly as possible but trump in facade is that with or without the vaccine the u. S. Economy is ready to restart thats contrary to the advice of government. Health officials whove warned it reopening too soon could trigger another outbreak now people get along and see what the mass. They really want to come out more than 2 thirds of u. S. States have now canceled or significantly relaxed stay at home orders now as more people and their weeks of social isolation its far from clear how safe is the world they venture into. Castro aljazeera Silver Spring maryland well lets talk to what else is a professor of epidemiology and meds not Columbia University and joins us live now from new york office of President Trump has not promised to deliver a vaccine by the end of the year with this operation to warp speed but just how on bishops is this fast track timeline. This timeline is quite ambitious its quite a stretch actually i think even though the other. Estimations of a year or 18 months to the development of a vaccine were already quite ambitious so the great fear is that we dont want to cut any corners in the development of a vaccine its absolutely critical that a vaccine the xan to be safe and also be demonstrated to be effective there is no point in having a vaccine that is nazi and that does not work so i think most importantly is to stick to the science and do the studies that need to be done to get us to receive an effective vaccine off i understand that you are involved some years back in the hiv aids epidemic so just break this down simply for us briefly what are the main challenges for research as a manufacturer as whats actually involved. I think whats critical is 1st identify the candidate vaccines that meaning the molecules that look promising as a vaccine either in the laboratory or an Animal Studies then they do that the next step is to take this product this this candid vaccine and test it 1st in a limited number of people to demonstrate that at least is safe in humans if its proven to be safe in humans in a small number of individuals then we move to the 2nd trees in the development of the vaccine and that is when its tested in a larger group of individuals and hopefully then to see again then its safe and then to begin to see if there is any evidence that it actually works and this process speaks 7 months and its important that it be done and be done right and that no corners are cut in this important grasses and President Trump has talked about it being a Public Private partnership but it does seem though wafa that that this is a National Effort so let me ask you why isnt there much more International Cooperation in finding a vaccine and this is all about beating china perhaps. I think ideally we want an International Global effort to find a vaccine that cook the good 19 and them it is a Global Pandemic and the efforts to control it must be global and there finitely the efforts to find a vaccine need to be a global collaboration. Its unfortunate if that countries decide to go their own way and try to develop their own vaccine to be used in that one countries we are all in this together and we need to Work Together to identify vaccine as soon as possible together as a Global Community let me just get a final thought from you many experts say a vaccine is the only thing that will give americans gave all of us confidence and fully reopening the economy in the absence of widespread testing but do you get the sense that perhaps in the u. S. Politics is overwhelming the science there is absolutely we have to be very cautious and we know that a vaccine is not around the corner what we have now is the effort to enhanced testing and to be able to conduct the Contact Tracing and the social distancing and the face with their Face Covering and so on these are the foundations of what we can do now i think we can articulate risk and now other then getting these methods that we know work for now why we are awaiting a vaccine in the future we have to do what we can do now to stop the transmission of this virus while we are working as scientists out of a vaccine hopefully sometime this coming year what a great to get your thoughts thank you for talking to aljazeera thank you thank you have a good. Now jordans king is warning neighboring israel against plans to annex more of the palestinian occupied west bank dollars says the move could start a massive conflict in the region israels vowed to annex a little jewish settlements and the Jordan Valley this would end the long stalled Peace Process by making it virtually impossible to establish a viable palestinian state on friday European Union Foreign Ministers agreed to step up diplomatic efforts to try to head off such a move by the time being aware efforts are devoted to the. To do provide take action you know the blue eyed boy any action in short of a negotiated solution for sure port of the. Field meant that International Law International Law would be of help here there and everywhere well hala elegant is a senior fellow at the middle east institute he says israeli annexation of plans could pose a threat to the jordanian monarchy. Jordan is one of 2 countries that has a peace treaty with israel that has the longest 2 arab countries i should say has the longest border with israel along the jordan river. And when the king himself comes out and essentially puts his relationship with israel and the treaty with israel on the line its very very serious you know for or the monarchy in jordan. An end to the 2 state solution which this plan and annexation is really aimed at achieving an end of any prospect of a palestinian state poses not just a strategic threat but quite possibly even an existential threat to the monarchy in jordan time for a short break here not just iraq when we come back the dispute between iraqs new Prime Minister and judges thats becoming the 1st big test of his time in power and hundreds of thousands of people flee the Central African republic as fighting intensifies between ethnic groups and i got this morning. Hello there things a little bit cooler across much of japan cloudy as well but not just because all this mass you can say is bringing some heavy rain with it so its not a good start to the weekend very heavy amounts of rain working their way into more central areas a home sure the rain eventually pushing across into tokyo so just 20 degrees celsius is the high note but across the Korean Peninsula one of the washout to the west of there and then again scattered showers with some storms into more southern areas of china taiwan not a bad day on saturday but by sunday expect the rains to really begin to increase this little area can see here this is the Tropical Storm von fall which by sunday should have cleared the northern philippines but will certainly bring very heavy amounts of rain into southern areas of the thai walmsley this Tropical Storm because it was a thai food when it made landfall this is it now this mass you can see here on the satellite this is the damage it left in its way this is when it made landfall into saw trees down houses damaged and then further to the north as well as all that we have some very heavy amounts of rain storm surge as well so the streets as you can see people literally need in the water more rain throughout saturday because the system will still be a Tropical Storm working its way through much of luzon and then 3 sunday it should have cleared off shore into the Philippine Sea but of course still very heavy amounts of rain and always the danger of mudslides landslides. As we embrace new technologies rarely do we stop to ask what is the price of this progress what happened was people started getting sick but there was a small group of people that began to think that maybe this was related to the coming of this closure on the job and investigation reveals how even the smallest devices have deadly environmental and health costs we think ok will send merry ways to china but we have to remember that air pollution travels around the globe death by design on aljazeera.

Now iraqs courts are resisting an order by the new Prime Minister to release nearly a 100 antigovernment protesters its being seen as most often the means 1st test of power as it tries to push ahead with promised reforms so manifold and reports now from baghdad.

The charges against my son is that he blocked the roads he didnt threw petrol bombs he didnt even carry a mobile hes a peaceful protest demanding his rights march in 7 i dont know why he isnt being released he has done nothing wrong i just want to know his fate. The judge has twice refused to release ahmed on bail but his parents hoped he would finally walk free after iraqs newly appointed Prime Minister must cover me promise to release detained protesters but what was supposed to be a decisive move to mend drifts with the protest movement has turned into a political role iraq had to just account for an ounce it would only release protesters if they had not committed any crimes but that theyd been seems to be at odds with the new Prime Ministers order that all demonstrators should be released except they were involved in bloodshed this has led many to question the Prime Ministers office for a day to bring about change i fear level its a political game the Prime Minister ordered to release the protesters but the judiciarys under the control of the Political Parties there are a powerful parties controlling the judiciary cording to the constitution the Prime Minister has limited power over judges he can give advice to relieve the tension on the ground to facilitate the addition of processes otherwise if we have committed any crime or you have been charges of course we cannot.
