While saturdays focus was on peace talks in cairo in libya this was the scene following an air to strike. As live position in green just south of misrata another reminder that a lost think piece appears a far from read church in this oil rich country that report from ahmed up the one who were who is with us now from tripoli mahmoud i saw someone in your report saying search is not the goal we want to get all the way out to the east again tell us how well that might happen what sort of timeframe. Well the Government Forces on the ground are a keen to take that this opportunity as have to his forces collapsing especially after the servant said backs the have been suffering recently especially after the last many strategic locations including the a in the west of libya and also all the major stronghold of have for us forces for the past year the city of torn up or now friday the Government Forces are now deploying get needed this city of sirte it also sending reinforcements from civil other cities in western libya especially from the city of misrata but the thing thats derailing get the Government Forces advancement towards this city center of sit it now is the ada strikes by the draw the Government Forces believe that its drawn supplied by the United Arab Emirates to have to that also yesterday another hate to the Government Forces by fighter jets lowered to half that of the Government Forces believe. Part of the russian supplied fighter jets that were sent to have to 2 weeks ago now this city of city it is very strategic for both warring factions its as you know that whoever controls sit it. Can only make use of its location not only as a connecting juncture between the east and the worst of libya but also it has a good libya military base which could be used to launch a the strikes to also to fly warplanes and also whoever controls city can easily move towards military bases have that as stronghold in central libya and can also move eastward to take control of this Oil Crescent Area that has the oil fields and the oil in. Deletions the oil terminals. On the coast but now the Government Forces say that they are determined to made the incursion into the city center of sit at city meanwhile eyewitnesses in the city say that they have been watching catheters forces leaving the city east toward towards. Marriage she base mahmud are the one who has that update for us from tripoli thank you we need to look at oil as well so important when were talking libya and Oil Production has resumes at the biggest oil fields after more than 4 months of closure the restart of the shuttle era and the ill feel fields in southwest libya follows withdrawal by forces loyal to the warlord folly for half the Oil Facilities which produce more than 300000. 00 barrels a day was shut down by half his forces in january more than 5000000000. 00 in revenue has been lost since then and over 100000000000. 00 has been lost in the last 4 years on a slow committee with us now founder and director of the sabbath institute a policy think tank based in the b hes in london for us right now. Just those numbers there underscore how Important Oil is to libya and actually im wondering how the country has even function for the last year 2 years up to 4 years without those revenues. Well it will go in for the balance or 20131. Of forces that no effective later in the year and a half minutes into 2 parts that are also going to be as oil was. Perhaps 6070000000000. 00 worth well all around that time so its not the 1st time but the last one what should it have the shock that oil was the day before the berlin conference the World Leaders on january 20th so are generally not. In a sign of good faith allegedly shut down all of libyas oil in a demonstration of strength that strength is you know as of yesterday when he was cairo really has been lost and his forces that know are lost at least a quarter of the viewers or a lot of production in the southwest is as one pointed out inch or so is a massive massive change but maybe the economy is massively dependent on all of that its also a demonstration signal strength internationally because of it controls the oil controls a portion of libyans will start getting to have to has and i mentioned this right at the side of the show been pushing west for so long in tripoli has been the focus i mean we go back to april last year when it all started now in retreat do you see any way that his forces can hold the line where they are all come back at all or is the government really in the ascendancy here. Well i mean in terms of him being able to begin to restart this more and once upon tripoli from the ground thats impossible it was more than fine i mean he has lost that everything that hes been trying to climb in the last 6 weeks it took him 6 years to build in addition so if you look at new images that have been circulating on social media and videos of just how much more we would see that was delivered by his backers in the u. N. He in egypt and russia over the last year 2 years in preparation bills theyve never lost a lot of their arsenal weaponry and equipment in a sophisticated equipment so thats thats going to be a real my most firmly believe them and you know this its almost immediately and most wins forces are in disarray you know they have left and fled only in the last the hours and what theyre really for the fight so far in the gym is concerned how close were you to communicating and if they want to see this forces to use the libya to i mean its as early as april last year when the forces in the so were deploying to tripoli many of them i spoke to said they were staying behind in preparation for an advance or least the libyan which sounded laughable probably because tripoli was just so near collapse and as you know later on and see what that you know theyre going to be at least the 10s of thousands and they want to get full honesty make anything of this face fire attempts which are backed by egypt it seems like a bit of a part of my phrasing a bit of a hail mary at the end. Yeah i mean its its only its almost a polite requests and a slow news and of a spotless and territory but there is a law that supports all the police and his backers and 1000000 russia at least for their principle get them in one peer about whether or not they will let up the collapse entirely that is the libya but for the moment it seems that there are lots and without that half there is a lot of strong man in the street without money is quite weak and it was and thats why he was there yes but then it was only a month ago when he said. That even to its only 24 hours before his spokesman was calling for a holy war and then 24 hours later he was in egypt meeting with the him so it tells you that theres every behavior from what also i would say i would stress this that the june a fairly credible reason not to trust them is integrity is in question he was brought to wellington on general 20th when he refused this was his follow on general moscow where he said i quote unquote need more time when i think its difficult for him and his love and you know what with him i think its not the case of the board of parliament no 171 of the story has a mental yeah and its all going to i think with us on the news out from london thank you do appreciate it. Heres what weve got coming up for you this hour it feeds mexico but the worlds biggest fruit and Vegetable Market has become a hotspot for corona virus infections. Also more virus victims but we will find out what tens of thousands of minks are being told in the netherlands and in sport is the africa cup of nations the next major tournament facing a delay far will have back at about 10 to the. In just the past hour the global death toll from the corona virus has passed 400000 and the number in the middle there more than a quarter of those i should point out are in the United States with approaching 7000000 infections right around the world now if we put that into a global picture with the map you can see where all the hotspots are obviously it is the United States there with those 400000 but its the list on the side there showing which brazil brazil has the 2nd highest number of infections in the world and a number of deaths at about 35000 as well thats going to change right now its just frozen brazils government has stopped its publishing of the road running total of the coronavirus deaths and infections critics just say its an attempt to hide the real extent of the pandemic this report is from. The sign on the window of this car dealership in sao paolo reminds customers of the need to use face masks and antibacterial gel its the 1st phase of the citys reopening despite record numbers of code with 19 deaths and president. At the center of growing criticism for downplaying the virus straight and attacking lockdown measures is going further. He is borrowing a page from his u. S. Counterpart donald trump and threatening to leave the world health organization. Either the w. Ite show works with ideological impartiality all we are also out we dont need outsiders why young in on our health here brazil is now the 3rd highest number of cars with 19 related fatalities in the world and experts believe it will soon become the 2nd scientific models predict that more than 125000 people could die by august 4th. Critics of both scenarios say hes responsible for Many Brazilians never taking the pandemic seriously. Anything its sad but he didnt wear a mask he made fun of it didnt believe it shook everybodys hand and unfortunately he caught it its very sad but thats the tree. But none of this is the tearing the president in his efforts to minimize the gravity of the situation the newly designed ministry of health daily report on the spread of the virus no longer records the total number of deaths. And the minister has announced a review of the criteria used to confirm coverage in 1000 deaths which critics fear will be used to manipulate the real numbers but some are. Under a huge price from here because they say. Theyre all it says against. And now theyre trying to find out people are out how to solve the problem the problem is huge so that government is trying to act in a really dangerous road trying to change that great try to change that numbers at debate. The growing divide over the Coronavirus Response in the country will take to the streets on sunday as protesters in favor and against both so maddow will face off in sao paulo and other. Well doctors and nurses across brazil keep working around the clock to save as many lives as they can in a country ravaged by the virus in deeply divided on how to respond and listen to them. So want to talk more about the numbers im going bring the map up again for you again remember this is from Johns Hopkins university this is the best snapshot we have at any given point as i said 6000000 900000 infections and 400000 deaths but of course a lot of that reports on how depends on how Different Countries report their numbers and as we see in the case of brazil how if they even want to keep reporting those sorts of numbers so its an imperfect science were going to talk to sanjay as annika about it and associate professor of medicine and Infectious Diseases at the strain the National University is on skype from kamber professor thank you for your time im sure you use that resource as well the Johns Hopkins numbers which most of us are how accurate in the end do you feel Something Like that is. I come out there to having me look it is a resource that i use all the time but remember it is only certain cases it is likely to be a huge and estimate so for these Company Cases we are using that p. C. Our test when we take an oratorio deal or a maze of 3 g. S. To a case of coded now we know some countries including the United States were not doing a huge amount of testing particularly at the start of the outbreak so they werent going to capture all the cases then there is the issue is even if you had the Testing Capacity that not everyone will seek out testing and then thirdly even if people come to have to state we know that that case doesnt always pick up everyone whos got the infection so recent studies show that at about day 3 of your illness date of the infection it was i mean picking up 80 percent of that particular kid they were not analyzing and of course you could be asymptomatic couldnt you not even get tested but have the virus the whole time well come out thats the other huge mystery of this outbreak what percentage of people are actually asymptomatic we know that there are a proportion who are asymptomatic dont display any symptoms whatsoever but are potentially if they exist to other people but theyre all very proportions in different studies one cruise ship study said about 80 percent and not the same 80 percent and there are a whole heap of studies in between from different parts of the world you said in your 1st ounce that those numbers which we have could be well below the true numbers are you. I dont to put you on the spot but are you willing to say you how much you think it could be under reported are we talking i was talking double the numbers are we talking 50 percent what what do you think. Well look im dealing way you work out what proportion of population are being infected is to do blood tests looking at antibodies to see who has had the infection irrespective of whether they remember being sick or not now a lot of this is to pave the antibody to state accurately not cross reacting with other coronaviruses or other infections but they have been carried out in some parts of the world now in new york when they looked at a coordinate was about 20 percent of the population london about 18 percent madrid about 11 stockholm about 7 percent so if we say its ballpark 10 percent in the us and europe alone which is about a 1000000000 people that would mean a 100000000 people infected worldwide and that doesnt include south america or africa or asia really interesting given your views and sending out a from the australian National University thank you there keep them up well lockdowns to stop the spread of corona virus are being lifted worldwide as we know in among the countries reopening is mexico but there are concerns there it is happening too soon a number of deaths and infections continues to increase and hospitals in the capital are filling up john home and reports now from an infection hotspot. This is the worlds biggest fruit and vege market the synth i would be a bastard i think and its become a hot spot for covert infections in mexico so if. Its not hard to see why its an ant hill of activity a city within a city as they say here we dress like this to go in knowing which way to do us but most people here what with next to no protection when youre lifting this. Even a maslows you down and as for not touching others face gets off a 1000000 visitors every day this pretty no way that they can pick social services thing going with that one fish market Officials Say they have managed to lower the number of clients coming in during coded that theyve had less than 500 cases but most of the people we talked to have been sick have there been people from your fiction avoided. A woman or i want yes some in this own around 9 or 10 and 100 has been ill too but after a month in isolation you have to come back. Here because money runs out in the little time i was out my savings got used up. And its not just the 90000. 00 workers here that depend on the market. This immense space the size of 400. 00 football pitches is the beating heart of mexicos food chain pumping out produce across the country and thats why mitt scarcities government decided they couldnt close it. But they have sent in Health Brigades 17 of the to patrol the market. But its a drop in the ocean and it doesnt help that some here still dont believe in coded i dont know that come or not good they think oh this is a game theyre like whatever nothings going to happen to me. Just outside of the centro communities enough struggling with the virus to. This is car you home 57 its going to be unfortunate nickname covert streets. Black bows hang alongside the more colorful. Residents told us about 20 people have died here not going to fix this family shut itself off for a month when 3 of them got sick the Street Cemetery protocols and perhaps divine help none of died just. Many people live will go to work in the central bastos and from 3 in the morning cars are passing through here to get there so they must have something to do with it hes done his job here but even divine protection has saved the streets residents from discrimination. If youre from cairo 157 a lot of people see you as lepers taxis dont want to take you you have to go and look for the doctors because they dont want to come here because most of back next door in the central customers have been staying away to. Follow says family has had this stool for years but its in trouble. Its really hit us there are days when we just have to throw the produce or we were 10 creates that we have to chuck out now traders say things are Getting Better numbers are picking up as the country begins to reopen the question is if fresh customers mean fresh covert cases to join homan how does it a city afghanistans Health Minister says the country is running out of hospital beds amid a surge in suspected Coronavirus Cases Health Officials Say the number is higher than expected a 1000000 people are believed to have been infected in kabul alone that is according to the citys government we look at the u.
