Record death toll in Brazil

Available for over a year

One of Brazil’s top health experts - Drauzio Varella - has said the situation couldn't be worse - and it will be a historic tragedy. And yet - they are looking to reopen the economy - we find out more about the situation on the ground. There's been a surprise fall in the US unemployment rate in May which now stands at 13.3%; how are markets reacting? We hear from Professor Dorothy Brown from Emory University School of Law in Atlanta about the racial economic divide in the US and the connection with the protests there. Also in the programme, we ask whether global lockdowns make a long-term difference to climate change. Plus, one of the world’s finest orchestra’s, the Vienna Philharmonic, has just held its first live post-lockdown concert today. They performed Beethoven’s 5th Symphony, conducted by Daniel Barenboim. But in line with anti-coronavirus regulations in Austria, only 100 people were allowed to attend. PHOTO: Covid-19 tests in Brazil/EPA
