Summary

Second only to the United states, Brazil’s death toll stands at over 275,000 and it’s now entering the deadliest chapter in this crisis. CNN Correspondent Matt Rivers gives us the view from the ground in Sao Paolo. Then Brazil's former health minister Luiz Henrique Mandetta joins Christiane Amanpour to discuss the failings of President Bolsonaro to tackle the pandemic and warns that there are many difficult days ahead. One corporation, Salesforce, is using its vast computing resources to help health agencies around the world track vaccinations. Our Hari Sreenivasan speaks to CEO Marc Benioff about the many ways COVID-19 is changing the world, both for businesses and the public. Today marks 10 years since the start of the war of Syria; a deadly conflict that would decimate millions of lives and leave the economy in tatters. Directors Waad Al-Kateab and Gianfranco Rosi reflect on where Syria is today. Their documentaries “For Sama" and "Notturno" respectively give an emotional and raw account of life under siege and the aftermath of so many years of war.
