Secretary of state to visit an illegal israeli settlements in the occupied west bank and the occupied golan heights. And its the latest and most controversial leg of his 10 day tour of the middle east and europe. At least 16 people have been killed in uganda during protests sparked by the arrest of Opposition Leader poppy wine, 350 people were arrested and Security Forces shot at supporters of the pop star turned politician.

Theyre being led by unionists, students, teachers, and members of colombias indigenous communities. They want to be included in talks with the government towards social and economic reform. Well, those are the headlines. Ill have more news for you here on aljazeera after do stay with us the kuna fast, so is heading toward elections, but spiraling insecurity is overshadowing the vote. Hundreds of thousands can register and much of the country is off limits thanks to roaming on kreutz. So what real change can these elections bring . Join us as we assess the outlook for the africas most troubled states. Its been a lot of deftness. Lot of there. I was at the cemetery 4 times in a week. Its been a nightmare for rob. Lets pray, god, we thank you for your goodness and your mercy, the loving kind. When kopek 19 began spreading across the u. S. And taking limes with it was clear that while the virus didnt see color race, it quickly found the divisions that society had already created. People so close to you. Now you see im liable and gone, gone across the country. Black and latino communities have been disproportionately impacted by the virus. And in chicago, one of the most racially segregated cities in the us. The majority of deaths have been in black and latino neighborhoods. The sort of recipe for impact existed at bay, so that when a disease like overhead land and a falls right onto the map of inequality that exist already. The disparity that cooper tonight on is one that r. T. Existed in everything from housing to health care to access to food. All covert did was plant itself into the social fogs that preexisted, the pandemic, was a way of making visible to a lot of americans and people around the world. What had been invisible to that . The shame that right for not seen because weve known this for many, many years that weve chosen to look away the covert pandemic is a work of america. Its true of these inequities that this country has refused to address, has been consistently neglected in this episode of fault lines. We look at chicagos great divide that allowed covert to spread by. Its a inspire you before we expire. Dont just exist later in the seemingly and lives it took in the process. She was amazing. She was beautiful. She was the most incredible soul. So know her is to love her. She was so this she was a she its, i enjoy and have been a some days it feels like someone snatched the sun from the sky. You never think that your babies will leave you is not supposed to be to the soviets, where when we met nicky, it had been 5 months since her 22 year old daughter nylon had passed away from kuwait 19. This was my love was my 6 child. She was everybodys favorite. She was the party planner. She was the family d. J. She made up old again. You see this love music, she does love life. He has her face, there are some her personality. I love him. Tell me then what happened this spring . It was out of nowhere. The only thing she was battling with was the asthma. Having trouble breathing. She didnt want to go to the hospital because of cold soul. She couldnt take it anymore. So she called it ambulance and they immediately set up an oxygen. And she went to the hospital nearby. At this point, you were not thinking that she had over it. You know, that it, ill, sue waited for a lot of test results to come back. And then she takes me and say, mom, they say i have in my heart best on us there was sending you to a better hospital. When i now arrived, nicky says her daughter was placed on a ventilator, and that after nationally seeming stable, her condition got worse. She was on a ventilator for 23 days in the 23rd. When she was only 20 9 and left behind her 2 year old son eric, when she was in a hospital fighting for her life, she was saying, wheres mommy . Every day. Wheres mommy . Wheres mom . And its like he said all my and he put his they had all much as and he said mommy cause we had her cremated and have for you you ok sleepy little every day you turn on and then you hear somebody else say its somebody else. Its like you think youre living in a movie, but the pandemic hasnt been a nightmare for every community of chicago because its played out along racial lines. As coppa deaths began to rise in the spring, nearly 70 percent of fatalities were black residents. Even though theyre only 30 percent of the citys population, and as its continued, its been both the citys black and latino communities that have had the highest infection and death rates. By the end of october, over 3000. 00, people had died in chicago. Black residents were 42 percent of the citys deaths, and latinos were 33 percent. Its an all too familiar story of sort of impact the happens to communities of color, right . When the data began to show who was being impacted most, the city formed a task force to address the disproportionate impact of the virus on communities of color. Some of the biggest things that impact and impacted death rates was seniors. It was underlie Health Condition and it was lack of access to health care. Those things are deeply racial as blacks and latinos are also more likely to be essential workers and exposed to the virus. It is the sort of devastating toll of what it means to continue to live in a very Racialized Society and really see so many of the negative impacts us society continue to fall and people of color. Good morning everybody. Welcome everyone of you all today we are grateful to god for the privilege of being present on this morning to see who we got to with these and in just a while, the grandest in the out welcome weve been alive. Services all in place boiled down to now its been a little lonely and because we were not allowing anybody to call up until im at the bottom of the goat in the predominantly black neighborhood where reverend Marshall Hatch limps the community is still coming to terms with the loss the pandemic is inflicted on the reverend himself lost his oldest sister rhoda to cope at one time. His role at last birthday party. My mom, when i was a road was like a big sister. She was the one that i would actually call just talk just as the reverend was transitioning to Online Services in the spring and the country was shutting down, got sick, was very rapid. We dropped off and she was talking, walking to a wheelchair a week later when theyre standing over open with 2. Heavily sedated. Body of a go on, i dont know. I just him stay there long are the same. Good bye old. Im sorry. I didnt know she could hear me. 3 days before routed died, Richard Hatch also lost his best friend of 45 years to come of it. Larry aras because of them going to church, but he went to high school. Then we went to college. Did on the go ahead. He was the best man at my wedding. The losses continue to pile up. You know, my mexico, im able to live side by side 20 years. What has been the impact in this community and black, chicago, as you say, of kobe . People all really in various states of desperation and stress, you know, so it is really just another layer of stress. I mean, what do you think is behind that . I think its become entirely clear that there is such a thing as structural racism, destitution all races, segregation from race. So us an opportunity with people is just various states of survival. The pressure of racism. I mean, is a very real phenomenon here in chicago. One thing behind the pandemics, racialized impact is the city segregation. Oh, the reverend lives on the west side and 9 lives on the south side of the citys predominantly black communities that have been most impacted by cove it. Meanwhile, the fewest cases have been in the predominately white and wealthy neighborhoods near downtown. This Health Disparity seen in kuwait isnt new though. Before the pandemic, the Life Expectancy gap between these neighborhoods was as wide as 17 years. Weve created a society in the us, nothing new that has put hop, brown and black on the bottom, the rich on top and the poor on the bottom. And we overlap those categories and the services that we provide, whether be school housing, health care, have all been, or layered in the exact same way that cows of facts in the body. First world and 3rd world conditions and in the subsidy for have traced to ups. This the west gulf will pour whiskey filled the car as one of the lowest life expectancies in the city left. The field has one of the lowest perp capita incomes. Its one of the younger communities as well. If youre a 16 year old teenager, young man who lives in garfield are likely africanamerican has a little more than a 5050 chance of living to the age of 65 peoples minds go to violence and gun violence. And certainly gun violence is the problem, but actually more than 50 percent of the early deaths in that neighborhood caused by heart disease, diabetes, stroke, hypertension, cancer, radical news. Just peoples beliefs, behaviors and biology that determine who live and die in the united states. But the social and Structural Conditions under which people live, living under social conditions where the neighbors arent safe, are those not food around where your housing is or ultimately has biological. A facts. One of the reasons behind the Life Expectancy gap is a lack of resources, something thats become more acute for vulnerable communities during the pandemic. Best way for us not to die off and cold, it is not to get so full people to want to shelter in place. They need resources and i so we provide fresh fruits and vegetables as well as household supplies. We are truly in the middle of a quality of life crisis. Were going to help you even before the Pandemic Community groups around chicago, working to address and draw awareness to the inequalities that have become more urgent now, like access to healthy food, most americans dont worry about if they have a Grocery Store. Right . Weve heard the term fool doesnt write the a block, the Grocery Store say, thats all that in itself is a Health Crisis right back to Health Inequities cope, exposed can be tied to problems like food deserts as well as pollution and housing, all of which follow along lines of inequality on a map of chicago, chicago, his like deeply. Federal aid. Johnson is an artist who lives on the south side of chicago. She examines the impact of the citys historic segregation. This is the man that was shared in the media for this time period. There are 6 of the case. This is a chicago segregation what it looks like. The blue that you see, those are the neighborhoods that are predominantly black, the pink, purplish, that you see, those are the neighborhoods that are predominantly white, and you see overlaps in all of these different yes. Mean projects folded, map looks at the differences between neighborhoods in the cities, north and south sides of the same street, 15 miles apart. One of the starkest differences between the north side and the south side resources and development, the development of new homes, new business, the. Those are the most dramatic differences that ultimately will be other amenities that are also different. Whats behind the difference, a, chicagos historic segregation. And discriminatory housing practice that were really heavily in the 195060 beginning in 1910, millions of africanamericans left the south and its racist jim crow laws for industrial cities in the north like chicago. Its you know, where my grandmother decided to come down south and see better opportunities. And when they arrived from the south, they were illegally blocked from living in certain neighborhoods and denied federally backed loans for homes in the areas they did live. Many could only buy homes and inflated prices through predatory contracts, resulting in the theft of their wealth and equity. Fortunately, greater inglewood is a neighborhood that was acutely impacted by discriminatory lending practices. Yes, this is a great example of what theres a lot of thought into a block of tea houses. Yeah, these are nice structure. Oh yeah. Because if you literally picked them up and put them on the north side, it would be, you know, 405000, what is it worth now . Maybe 20000 pounds in discrimination and segregation, the began decades ago, laid the ground for the desertion of resources from black communities. Thank you. 68. There was an influx of africanamerican families which came up from the south in the last wave of the great migration and began moving in and which then entire created with no of the white flight. Lotta households left, there were further west out suburbs and there was a lot of large cheering of disinvestment that began at that time. He shot is part of a coalition working to address the Life Expectancy gap in chicago, especially by targeting a central problem disinvestment. The desertion of businesses and jobs. So what type of jobs are available to these Community Members that have the highest disparity that will in turn determine what kind of Health Insurance they have access to . What is the career trajectory thats allowing people to not only make a livable wage, but a sustainable wage over a period of time to break generational poverty . How does disinvestment affect the Health Outcomes in this community . Theres a connective tissue there that you cannot separate. You have to look at what investment in the community is, what is the strength of the court or what type of businesses exist . What type of Grocery Stores . What is the quality of food . When we look at the Life Expectancy gap, theyre all connected. The disinvestment began decades ago and still have to mean and communities are still fighting to keep the few resources in their neighborhoods to hospitals. Because the geographic segregation that gets replicated. And because the way capitalism works, there is a disincentive to go into poor black neighborhoods at many of the hospitals that serve the citys low income, black and latino communities for safety. Net hospitals, medical centers that serve the poor. Theyre largely painted the government program, medicaid, because black people are more likely to live in concentrated poverty and lack next people as well. In the latter, next population has a lot of undocumented uninsured people and the institutions they go to are force take a vow of poverty in order to know ive worked at that, those hospitals that are there and serve or people are under capitalize they cant invest. So as a doctor, i call that experience one street to a world right now on the street. And they close in 2009, which was hard because they had a lot of resources that we needed because they rely on medicaid payments. Its difficult for these hospitals to stay afloat financially. In the past 20 years, 8 hospitals that served low income communities in chicago have closed, and this is mercy, hospital. Mercy hospital is facing the same fate. Now, closure in the midst of a pandemic. Mercy hospital is one of the oldest hospitals in the city of chicago, and this is also considered a safety net hospital. Absolutely. But if you look at the people coming out of the hospital, you see who constituency is working. Class black and brown people because its funded through medicaid reimbursements, doesnt have the resources that it need this hospital used to have to try the center to close it. Whats the impact on the community . Then if deans safety net hospitals close, the impact is that people that live in this community dont have access to health put health care within a safe distance that hole. So people end up catching a bus in a train to try to get health care. Its a Public Safety risk, ill believe it. When destitution is like this shut down, it contributes to people leaving the area, the closure of mercy, hospital in line with the disinvestment that youve seen. Absolutely, it is to me, it is a part of the look. So you let all this lead out used to be the out of the will housing project. I dont use the word gentle the case because i think that takes the sting out of it. But with the way you program the way you produce communities as you kill the basic quality of life is too early to get it. Now. So right now, Chicago HealthEquity Coalition has an action, a 4 oclock. Were going to organize to save Mercy Hospital, whatever it takes to you know, yes, maggie to screw, as well as a coalition of the unions want the governor of illinois to intervene to save the hospital. We understood the 1st hospital, but we let our help maddux manage our health that a closing Mercy Hospital and downsizing them out of access to health care in black communities. This fortunately affected by coping with 90 and other Health Disparities created by White Supremacy is a farce. For the berry, i trust that gov great skill sets needs to explore. Big need to cover the bill stamp. Look at the stuff, this cold air of a house that you know about to help out some in life the now, but its going to be somebody else. And then when we come downtown to the citys financial center, hoping to raise awareness in the area. They say politicians care about going to be in a box called what is prepped. It says they cant ignore them. We will say what were doing when a Mercy Hospital would serve a largely black population. It gets hit by overhead. Were now the prices are rising. Its 6 am because its black people, nobody cares. Thats part of the problem. Making people care about something that simply imbedded in society is racism in its you let me answer you. I think id like to try to make it very imposing hospital, especially as the virus continues to spread across the us. And communities of color are still a risk that is safe, yet. Theyre making a week from now. Health and neck were days in this country. We promote death gaps, actual structural violence. Why . Closing a safety net hospital in an area of the city that desperately needs one. And i cruise accountable. Thats the interesting thing about structural racism. You dont have to find an accountable individual. Its about our system called it is the great new field has revealed the savage inequities and almost every basic quality of life is teaching you to think about. The pandemic has revealed while we have the preexisting conditions that we dont have access to Quality Health care. That many of our young people in schools dont have access to technology. Things that most americans take for granted. We are not the thieves that we are not. The problem of White Supremacy is the east on the question is, will america operate like that in your name . These are poor willed ring and disjointed days, especially for the young. My life changed because i cant go will say we have to be careful to not get sick at all said University Study found the one in 5 children and now afraid to leave their homes, the sense of disorientation and confusion, which is being very understandable, natural reaction to children and in the past few weeks, secure Mental Health units have been forced to discharge large numbers of patients.
