For six more weeks. On day two of his libel case at the high court in london, johnny depp strongly denies slapping amber heard when they were married. Hello and welcome. It is so often called the worlds worst humanitarian crisis, and then it gets worse. In yemen, United Nations aid agencies are warning they still have nowhere near the resources needed to fight the looming threat of famine, in a country already ravaged by five years of war and disease, now struggling with a surge in coronavirus deaths. With the medical system already devastated, covid 19 is spreading virtually unchecked. Nawal a maghafi has been speaking to those bearing the brunt of yemens latest crisis. There are no daily briefings about covid 19 in yemen. Allahu akbar. All allahu akbar. No accurate statistics, and barely any tests. But every day, there are the dead, buried quietly in the early hours of the morning. Among the buried on that day in sanaa was mohammed al kuhlani. A few weeks ago, we spoke to him and his friends as they worryingly followed the pandemic news. Translation if the virus reaches yemen, they wont be able to count the dead. Yemenis mix a lot. We need to raise awareness. We need to teach people how to keep safe at home. The disease was already spreading silently throughout homes in yemen, including mohammeds. His family said his death was of a respiratory infection. It had all the hallmarks of coronavirus. Now we learn that mohammeds father and several members of the family have lost their lives with the same symptoms. This is his cousin days before he died. None of the deaths have been reported as coronavirus related. Six years of war has destroyed half of the countrys Health System in the conflict between the houthis and a saudi uae Led Coalition supported by the uk and the us. I met dr ashwag on several milestones during the yemeni conflict, during the famine, cholera and now covid 19. The suffering only gets worse, she says. Translation i go to people with hand sanitiser and i tell them to stay at home. They tell me, doctor, dont scare us with the disease. Were dying of hunger anyway. We need to eat. What options do we have . Its a tragic situation. It is coronavirus or hunger. Protective gear is not a priority for a population where two thirds dont know where their next meal is coming from. And the international community, distracted with its own crisis, is turning its back. A un fundraising summit raised only half the amount needed to keep its life saving programmes running. For months, there have been warnings of coronavirus sweeping silently in yemen. Now the pandemic is here and is exacting its deadly toll unchecked. Nawal al maghafi, bbc news. Us Vice President mike pence says the us has recorded at least 3 million coronavirus infections, more than any other country in the world. To put that in international comparison, its significantly higher than brazil and russia which have recorded the second and third most cases. And it means the us alone has recorded more infections than both asia and the entire european continent, which were once global centres for the virus. Of course this figure doesnt take into account differences in testing rates. Here was mike pence speaking at the Coronavirus Task force briefing. At this point, we have tested more than 39 million americans. Among those, more than 3 million americans have tested positive and more than 1. 3 million americans have recovered. Sadly, more than 133,000 americans have lost their lives and our sympathies are with all of the impacted families, and while we mourn with those who mourn, because of what the American People have done, because of the extraordinary work of our healthcare workers around the country, we are encouraged that the average fatality rate continues to below and steady. Be low. Lets speak now to our north america correspondent david willis. These horrible figures dont ta ke these horrible figures dont take into account different testing rates but they are likely to be underestimates. They are likely to be underestimates, mike, and they are chilling figures. They seem to be going to the opposite direction to those in europe and instead of flattening the curve, the United States appears to be fattening it. More than 3 million coronavirus cases, more than 132,000 deaths as you mentioned. President trump for his part is touting the mortality rate which he saysis the mortality rate which he says is the lowest in the world but there are still hospitals in texas, arizona and florida that are running at full capacity. The president , of course, very anxious, mike, to open this country up ahead of the november president ial election and he is now calling on schools and colleges to reopen in the autumn. That, despite contrary advice from his own medical experts and the warning from the president of one of americas largest teaching unions that the president is potentially putting students lives at risk by this. And the president actually threatening schools with loss of funding. Thats right, yes, although its doubtful if can actually carry through on that threat since federalfunding through on that threat since federal funding accounts a p pa re ntly federal funding accounts apparently for about 10 of schools funding across the country at the president took issue with Harvard University which said it would be running the remainder of the year on line. The president called that disappointing and u nsatisfa ctory disappointing and unsatisfactory and he wants to get those colleges back running as soon get those colleges back running as soon as get those colleges back running as soon as possible because its an emblem, if you like, of the economy reopening and it also provides the opportunity for those children were back at school, for their parents to go back to work and thats something that is crucial of course to reopening this beleaguered economy. Just deeply, david, some nervousness i think about the apparent lack of backing at one of the briefings for dr fauci. Thats right, dr fauci has taken issue particularly over the past few days with the president s that the United States has the lowest mortality rate in coronavirus in the world. Dr fauci said that was a false narrative and he warned of a false sense of complacency and at the White House Briefing this afternoon, the spokeswoman was asked if the president still had faith in dr fauci and she declined to give a direct a nswer to she declined to give a direct answer to that, mike. David, thank you very much for that. Brazils president says hes confident hell survive coronavirus because hes taking the anti malarial drug hydroxychloroquine, a treatment plan that has no proven success when used to tackle covid 19. Mr bolsonaro has spent months downplaying the severity of the pandemic as thousands have died in his country. He tested positive yesterday. 0ur south america correspondent katy watson reports from sao paulo. Social distancing, no thanks. Masks, probably not. Jair bolsonaro is a leader whos never much cared the health guidelines, dismissing them every step of the way. But when it comes to unproven drugs to tackle the virus, its only horse hes back. On the day he got covid 19, Jair Bolsonaro posted this video of him taking the antimalarial hydroxychloroquine. He said he was feeling much better and over the weekend so it must be working. Its an honour to give that to you. Like his friend up north, Jair Bolsonaro doesnt ca re if north, Jair Bolsonaro doesnt care if the drug isnt recommended for covid 19, nor that there could be Serious Health risks for people who ta ke health risks for people who take it when they dont need it. It works for him, he says, so he promotes it. And pharmacies here have felt the impact. Ever since the president first touted the drugs president first touted the drugs and its, medication more often used in brazil to fight malaria in the amazon or for those skin conditions like lupus, demand has soared. Authorities had to introduce prescription for the drugs to try and control them. Translation we had lots of people looking for it, many just wanted to stock up at home but we dont allow that. Even though, there was such a big demand for it. The price of the drug has gone up as well, there has been a huge move. While Jair Bolsonaro is made sure the drugs can be offered to patients with even the mildest symptoms, many Health Professionals say its a dangerous path to go down. They are telling me, people come to the emergency room asking for the emergency room asking for the drug before we even examine the drug before we even examine the person. This is how this message has penetrated, is another virus, is an information virus, that has penetrated and synchronised millions of people to believe that there is a Silver Bullet when we all know there is not. The newspapers say Jair Bolsonaro minimised the pandemic, encouraged social contact and is now ill. Throughout this crisis, hes fought against measures that others have introduced to keep people safe. Is water down the law on wearing face masks and is even pushing to open the economy as soon as is even pushing to open the economy as soon as possible. Sick or not, he is singing the same tune for now. In the middle of a pandemic, the Health Ministry has been sidelined. To help ministers, both doctors, have gone, because they backed Global Health recommendations. The man now in charge temporarily as an army general whose biggest move so army general whose biggest move so far has been to get the military to boost production of hydroxychloroquine. But those are back president repeat his mantra that people need to work on the Collateral Damage of the virus cannot become bigger than the disease itself. A lot of people talk about science, science, science but science means medicine, medical science, it means social science, it means social science as well so we have to have all those things together. Because a solution thats perfect for europe, maybe its not the best solution for brazil. Maybe we need to find a solution in the middle between them. The problem is, brazils president is coming up with his own solutions that few people believe in. The countries in the middle of a crisis and it feels like little is being done.
