Army warnings with the sports news including would be most to score some pollen and pick legend alex a novelty has been seriously hurt in the sinisterly we understand hes been lifted to hospital after a crash with a heavy vehicle. Now the World Health Organization is warning of a new and dangerous phase. In the current a virus pandemic after a Record Number of infections for a single day more than 150000 cases were reported on thursday almost half of them in the americas as well as large numbers in south asia and the middle east the world is in a new and dangerous phase many people are understandably fed up with being at home countries are understandably egger to open up their societies and economies but the virus is still spreading fast it is still deadly and most people are still susceptible. We call on all countries and all people to exercise extreme vigilance. Well as i mentioned nearly haas of the new deal reported code than 1000 cases are from the americans but we have kristen salumi standing by for us in new york but 1st lets go to our latin america at attendants union and shes in santiago you see it it seems that brazil has now will surpass that very grim number of 1000000. Absolutely nuts it was sort of predictable that this what happened but that doesnt make it any less grim and any less worrisome especially as opposed to what weve just heard from the head of the World Health Organization the government is pushing to open up the economy and even entertainment for example on thursday night pressure from president died but also not all the 1st football championship game was played in Rio De Janeiro which is the city with the 2nd highest number of infections and deaths and this game was played without an audience without the public but nevertheless it was sending a signal to brazilians or at least that was the point of it that everything is getting back to normal that its time to go back out to play and especially go back out to work and this game took place right next to an emergency tent hospital where people were actually dying from coronavirus as the game was taking place so that just gives you an idea of what is happening of the disconnect if you like between what is going on on the ground with the corona virus and the way that authorities in many cases are trying to deal or not deal with it and speaking of authorities who say youre standing in chile and the government there has been imposing these strict measures that weve been seeing but the numbers are still growing.

Are 2 states with conservative governors who been resistant to mandatory mask wearing they say that they are concerned and they are watching things but they are have been reluctant to make that extra step now some localities are imposing them themselves here in new york were passed the mountain as the governor would say he held what he called his final daily Coronavirus Briefing for the last nearly 3 months these have become a daily event where he would update the latest figures the latest containment measures for the disease and he says its no longer necessary because the numbers of new infections and daily does here in new york are now where they were at the very beginning of this pandemic some 3 months ago and Governor Cuomo actually criticized some of these other governors for moving forward with reopening before they had socalled flatten the curve and brought some of these new infection rates down unlike here in new york where they took very stringent lockdown measures until the infection was contained and only then started to move forward so some growing pressure on those states out west into the south so far theyre resisting but watching the situation very carefully kristensen to me there for us live in new york city thank you very much for that update kristen.

Well lets now talk correspondent Kimberly Elizondo he is at a protest in new york thats marking the day weve been watching those crowds around you grow over the last few hours and in a departure from previous years that there are a lot of white faces out to. There are these protests are quite incredible quite frankly i want to just give you a scene this one goes on for several city blocks in what is more than 40 different protests that are happening throughout new york city and the surrounding neighborhoods on this june 13th holiday here i want to bring in a guest lets bring it back on in here how are you doing whats your name again my name is Joseph Joseph thank you for joining us youre an organizer with black bias matter why are you out here today. All of them are the people organized where black. Ribbon you know why should i mind. Not running to you to me tonight to you. And heres to you when no. Sleeves were made and it became aware 2 years later again so we are here in new york city limits and thats what were looking at the scene speak high and youre here what do you think as you see all of these people whats going through your mind i think im living. My happy she saw me. That doesnt want to stay in new york. City man just you know. All these be held accountable. I george i got to ask you youre wearing a mask im wearing a mask almost everyone hears her mask because were still in the middle of a coronavirus pandemic listen to why do you still feel you have to come out here ask yourself even though were. This pandemic happened but im retired and im certainly. Not going to stop me from the government community. Not to fight for the community and the people so. Its problems and we need to be where we need to be aware we think. Yeah im still here no justice no peace george thank you very much good luck with the rest your brains out here today thank you so you can really get a sense here of just the numbers of people that are out on the streets. And this is just one of multiple protests happening right now in new york city and it really has taken on added significance because of what is going on in america right now these are truly historic moments in u. S. History frankly and people really feel it on this friday at the juneteenth holiday is a moment to really sees and you can see theres a lot of black faces but theres also a lot of white faces a lot of that a lot of asian thats what is making this so much different from any other protests that weve seen her in the United States that theyre just to take the 1st city of the Cross Section of people that are really coming out here to have their voices are. On the streets of new york for us thank you very much well now lets move a little further south to the capital washington d. C. Where she had been tansey is standing she has you out with protesters there to talk us through the mood that looks very different from the. Well this is what as in new york is one of many protests that are occurring across the city you joined us weve just march with several 100 people from the museum of africanamerican history to the monument to Martin Luther king jr here on the banks with the paternal like right now theyre holding. A rather quiet protest taking a knee and reciting various names of People Killed through police will be doing this for 8 minutes and 46 seconds which was the time initially reported as the amount of time that a Police Officer knelt on the neck of george floyd. Lets. Take a look at. Its. Im not sure how much of this you can have but it is. Much more than that. Well i dont think theyve lost. The ultimate goal here i mean the point is and this is what we keep hearing from demonstrators its all very well now for the democrats and the republicans to Start Talking about Police Reform. Notably the republicans have put forward proposals which are relatively toothless democrats put forward proposals which have some long held like some sort of National Database of Police Officers with a disciplinary record we have no transparency weve had no transparency for a very long time but i think what we keep hearing here is what those politicians dont seem to understand is the conversation is this isnt about Police Reform this is about starting again this is about defunding the police because of the systemic nature. Within the police force as we see around the country. Using enormous amounts of force they get very angry. Drop so if youre dealing with that then how can you possibly reform them and thats what we keep on hearing after the point is that main focal point remains defunding the police having a different system because right now the police are just seen as occupation officers who only language is only ability to be violent so that is that remains the main issue however of course systemic racism isnt just limited to the police force and that has been ruled in. Washington d. C. Well continue watching around the country on this day. Thank you.
