Record virus deaths in Brazil

Newsday

Available for over a year

Brazil has recorded more than 4,000 deaths in 24 hours for the first time. Hospitals are overwhelmed. We're joined by a doctor on the medical frontline. One of Myanmar's best known comedians, the 60 year old satirist Zarganar, is among those reportedly arrested in the latest crackdown by the military authorities. And the man accused of wanting to destroy humanity - just by standing up for Covid science. We hear from an American evangelical Christian who says some of his brethren have been politicised against masks and vaccines.
