2nd debate the democratic rival joe biden if its held virtually. The world has seen a record one day jump in global coronavirus cases the World Health Organization has reported more than 338000 infections in 24 hours and 5 and a half 1000 deaths this is warnings a sounded about rising cases across europe as france reported more than 18000 new cases it was announced that 4 major french cities will join paris and last say at the maximum level in the u. K. Where cases rose by more than 17 and a half 1000 the government says its considering a range of measures for Northern England for the 1st time since april portugal has recorded more than a 1000 new cases and italy more than 4000 and polands Prime Minister says Wearing Masks outside will be compulsory across the country even germany a country still seen as exemplary for controlling the spread of the virus has seen a shop jump in cases john mccain reports from berlin. This is the reality of covidien ukraine another life claimed by a virus whose 2nd wave is now sweeping across europe here in the town of stepanek a hospital designed for 100 people now has 106 corona patients alone. We are catastrophic li short of doctors the pressure is incredible and the Infectious Department we have one doctor per 47. 00 patients. Around the continent the number of new infections is surging austria has announced its highest daily figures so far in poland 2 unprecedented numbers of people are testing positive for the virus prompting the government to say it will introduce a general mask rule for all people outdoors and perhaps impose a state of emergency elsewhere as here in belgium the spike in cases has forced ministers to say no more than 4 people will be allowed to meet together in public but in spain the rate of new infections has slowed in recent days and a partial lockdown for the capital has been thrown out by a madrid court which said it infringed peoples fundamental freedoms whilst in germany a surge in cases is causing deep concern at the highest levels. Of the Current Situation worries me a lot we dont know how things will develop over the next few weeks its possible that we will see more than 10000 cases a day its possible that the virus spreads uncontrollably in the german capital Officials Say that Testing Capacity has reached 95 percent with little scope for greater testing if numbers continue to climb. One of the measures being suggested the full season already in place here in the socalled triple traffic light Warning System with 3 different code criteria one assumes the number of intensive care beds occupied by corona patients the awful reproductive rate of the fires and the number of info. Sections per 100000 residents for the moment the federal government believes its existing measures are enough. Germany so far managed this crisis well when you look at the map of europe youll see until now germany is a solid rock in this pandemic but we are seeing rising numbers across europe so far theres no suggestion of another National Lockdown politicians are perhaps fearful of the damage such a step would wreak on an already suffering economy and they know there are many people here who believe the existing measures are too strong dominant cane aljazeera berlin aid agencies are warning of an alarming rise in corona virus cases across syria the government has reported just over 4 and a half 1000 infections but the u. N. Says the situation is more serious there are concerns the lack of infrastructure in opposition and kurdish held areas means doctors wont be able to deal with a significant outbreak they know what has more from neighboring lebanon. And reports from inside syria continue to point to much or to spread of kopi 90 and the number of confirmed cases the United Nations has been reporting rising infection rates in syria for some time now given the limited testing cross the country and challenges in Contact Tracing it is likely that the actual number of cases far exceeds official figures. The Syrian Government reports nearly 4500 cases and 200 deaths and portrays the situation as under control but multiple sources questioned that narrative they say infections have been in the 10s of thousands and at least 65 doctors died as they struggled in ill equipped hospitals with a lack of protective gear many patients are. Not. Just because they. Other patients. Only one or 2 every day. Infections have also increased tenfold in opposition controlled territories in the Northern Syria at least 30 percent are Health Workers coping is a challenge especially because there was a Health Crisis before the corona Virus Outbreak hundreds of medical workers were killed and facilities destroyed during the war and the deliberate campaign by Syrian Government forces and their allies medical workers say they are on the brink of an emergency coming. Before the pandemic we used to work from now until 2 we are now working from now until 7 and sometimes even longer hours. Despite that testing remains limited this medical laboratory serves up to 4000000 people who live in it live and nearby areas even when we have centers up and running we dont have sufficient tests. That is going to be a challenge coming down the line to be able to test as many people as needed and also people who are trained to analyze that. Efforts are being made to slow the spread by raising awareness and distributing hygiene kits in this densely populated and impoverished region where many live in camps sanitation is a challenge with a shortage of medical equipment and supplies as well as a weakened Health Infrastructure due to 9 years of conflict and government neglect communities are vulnerable jennifer their beirut. Reigning capital is struggling to find available hospital beds the virus patients the country reported a record high of more than 4300 new infections on thursday and 230 more deaths restrictions are being tightened across the country including mandatory facemask orders in the capital tehran schools libraries mosques and other Public Institutions have been closed for a week. The United States has slapped fresh sanctions on irans Financial Sector targeting 18 iranian banks the move is an effort to the shut iran out of the Global Banking system irans foreign minister has reacted angrily tweeting amid the coded 1000. 00 pandemic us regime wants to blow off all remaining channels to pay for food and medicine iranians will survive this latest of cruelties that conspiring to stop the population is a crime against humanity culprits and the neighbors who block on money will face justice well rosen in jordan has more on this from washington d. C. Perhaps the biggest criticism of the trumpet ministrations sanctions regime against iran is that the culminating impact is that this is hurting the iranian people certainly we have seen that criticism coming not just from e. U. Nations but also from a wide range of humanitarian organizations around the world now the Treasury Department went in announced this latest round of sanctions against these 18 iranian banks said that these banks would still have exemptions so that they could bring in funds to facilitate the purchase of emergency food and medicine to serve the iranian people of course people have criticized the u. S. For making it much harder to get that sort of humanitarian aid to the iranian people but leave no doubt the trumpet ministration has made one of its key Foreign Policy objectives the International Isolation of iran because of what it says is irans attempts to develop a viable Nuclear Weapons program and it believes that by cutting off all avenues of getting cash into the hands or the under the control of the iranian government that the trumpet ministration ultimately will be successful but we have not seen that at least not as of right now.
