Exit polls suggest a tight race in poland as both incumbent president and his rival claim victory in the runoff vote. 230000 covert 19 infections in 24 hours the world has just recorded its biggest daily rise since the Virus Outbreak began thats according to the World Health Organization and the situation in the United States the country hardest hit has taken a turn for the worse the state of florida alone registered more than 15000 new cases on sunday that number supposes the highest daily tally reported by any european nation and what new york recorded when the pandemic peak there in april florida began lifting restrictions. In may elsewhere in the world south africa has reimposed a nighttime curfew and a ban on the sale of alcohol it has the highest number of cases on the continent of africa nearly 13000000 people globally have been diagnosed with covert 19 more than half a 1000000 of died according to the Johns Hopkins university tracker patty kohei in correspondent is in maryland she explains the reason for the surge in florida and other states to. When it comes to current virus in the United States a case of where you live and what your governor decided to do remember this was an issue where the u. S. President said this is up to the states they need to figure out their testing they need to figure out their hospitals so here in maryland with a republican governor took it very seriously shut it down didnt reopen quickly the hospitals have plenty of capacity the positive test results for the crowd of iris here are less than 5 percent now lets put that to florida where the governor keeps saying these cases are going up because they have more tests that is not true just to give you a sense they did 25000. 00 tests a day in florida a month ago their Positivity Rate thats the number of cases coming back positive compared to the overall test was about 5 percent now theyre doing 50000 houses a day in their Positivity Rate is almost 20 percent so thats not because theyre doing more testing its because more people are getting sick important remember florida doesnt have a rule where says you have to wear your mask some cities do but the state has not taken that step and they havent really shut down again even though we saw the governor to you know 2 weeks after he opened in may say journals were wrong its not the end of the world like everythings fine but he hasnt taken any steps to change the course of this disease so lets think about it if theres 15000 today we know the way this virus operates imagine how many people those 15000 positive cases have infected over the last week to grow it to do their symptoms were showing up but they were still able to spread the virus so the hospitals are on the verge of reaching capacity the 15000 number shows no sign of going down likely side to say its just going to continue to increase exponentially. Mexicana as the full highest number of deaths from cook at 19 in the world its overtaken its only 35000 people have died mexico has recorded more than 300000 infections but the government says the true number is likely to be significantly higher. As we mentioned earlier south africa is re imposing some restrictions as cases this spike the president several roma post says the scientists are forecasting as many as 50000 by the end of the year in a televised address he explained why the government is bringing back the lockdown measures weve now decided that the sale the dispensing and the distribution of alcohol will be suspended with immediate effect there is now clear evidence that the resumption of alcohol sales has resulted in substantial pressure being put on hospitals including trauma and i. C. U. Units therefore as an additional measure to reduce the pressure on hospitals a care few will be put in place between the hours of 9 pm and 4 am. For me to miller has more now from johannesburg. Boss of africa had quite a Strict Lockdown in place as the 1st infections were recorded back in march and april some of those restrictions have been eased but the president also said that South Africans arent at hearing to the regulations that are meant to try and stop the spread of covert 19 he says people arent wearing mosque there so massive social gatherings especially on weekends massive funerals where people are likely to catch coronavirus because theyre not adhering to any of the Health Regulations in place so that was very much the gist of that address but also given the surge in numbers in recent weeks you also mentioned how. A quarter of the infections are quarter of the deaths recorded and then i was sitting at just over 4000 within the last week alone and now south africa seeing an average of 12000 new infections every day and every day were seeing a new record in the number of infections and just how concerned the government is at this point and this is whats led to the government reversing or backpedaling to some extent around some of the easing of restrictions Libyas National Oil Corporation is accusing the United Arab Emirates of pushing the warlord into reimposing a blockade of its facilities now on friday his forces had allowed a tanker carrying crude oil for export to set sail for the 1st time in 6 months but they now say the siege will stay till the demands of a distribution of profits from exports are met the u. S. Embassy in libyas quote regrets foreign backed efforts impeding the resumption of oil activities. Lets take a closer look at the dispute over oil now most of libyas oil fields are located in the east controlled by half to self declared Libyan National army are supported by the u. A. E. And egypt under International Agreements only Libyas National Oil Corporation compound and export the crude oil revenues must flow into the central bank both are based in tripoli the seat of the un recognized government headed by. Turkeys support in recent weeks has helped him to repel half to the thames to capture tripoli his forces want the oil revenue to be channeled into a new bank account overseas so it can be distributed regionally after as men have occupied the oil fields since january costing libya nearly 6000000000. 00 in lost revenue image body as a nonresident fellow at the Atlantic Council where he focused on libya he says the oil blockade will likely force foreign players to get even more involved. While this blockade protracted and considering the protraction of this situation so to speak russia is actually the state that will be gathering the most influence and has drawn in the us now there is increasingly strew tonight in the situation and he has put it put it in quite a precarious situation because diplomatically speaking the u. S. Cannot do much unless it decides to count to russia either through very very concerted efforts soft power wise so that means speaking to turkey and speaking to the u. A. E. To stop doing with their doing or to counter russia militarily because russia is involved in the military so it has these 2 options and i dont see it taking any of the 2 and that means that libya is headed to a certain extent in some form some way shape or form to either a yemen or as syria likes scenario unfortunately. Well those developments come as images on social media appear to show forces loyal to mobilizing towards the city of sirte the un recognized government in tripoli said the pictures saying they show Armored Vehicles and 2 russian made Defense Systems forces backing the tripoli based government have been massing on the outskirts of the coastal city is the gateway to major Oil Facilities which are at the moment as weve heard under the control of her life after billions of dollars worth of currency printed in russia is being circulated in libya the u.
