Brazil's indigenous peoples face 'real risk of genocide'
Brazil has recorded another big increase in deaths from Covid-19, amid a deepening political row over the lockdown there. The world-renowned Brazilian photographer, Sebasti茫o Salgado, tells the 大象传媒's James Menendez that the country's indigenous peoples in the Amazon are facing a particularly high risk. He has written an open letter to the Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro, warning of a "real risk of genocide" of indigenous peoples.
