More than 1000000 couvade 1000 infections and the virus is reaching some of the most remote areas in the world. Why you are is known as a city located at the end of the world and argentinas southern tip or thought is here are concerned so. We know that an argentine of this week we are going to reach 1000000 cases. Adding to those numbers since the regular positivity is on the rise and we have around 74 percent of positive patients and according to the sampling we talk about. From most wired to one a site is or thought these are trying to understand what went wrong argentina was one of the 1st countries in the region to impose a strict lockdown. But in spite of it infections continue to spread. The government. Virus with a lot. Of our increased for example the amount of class going by what the government. Is what gave them enough time to get. Ready for the more rough. But the explosion in cases has strained hospitals and health care workers. I would like this to end now i cannot continue at this pace and i think none of the others in my situation who are doctors like me in intensive care must think the same way i do all stressed so you can keep going you know. Argentina is also struggling with an economic crisis which is one of the reasons why many could not afford to stay home.

The increase of a single kilo food by the state the situation is desperate its projected that in argentina there will be 20 percent unemployment and half the population poverty. The pandemic is having a devastating effect in latin america posing a major challenge to the economies and Health Care Systems in the region and even though some governments took measures to protect the population on time the rising cases show that in demick problems can pose a major setback when it comes to fighting disease. Still to come in this half hour. Was celebrations in thailand antigovernment protesters are set free on bail but the fight for reform continues. To be vital. And probably for me it will be trying to households split test president ial contenders take the fight to the suburbs. And i was more rain to come in Western Australia but not quite the sundry stuff that the satellite picture shows has recently been there now thats gone east that is falling apart is more cloud and more disappointing bits of rain occasional showers i think there were still strong even affecting perth a bit of the same in victoria but not very much more significant showers a New South Wales and then more so getting queens and will tend to edging towards brisbane and for the end the weekend probably the weekend as well the suns come back out in melbourne or about 20 degrees by 30. 6 those lights be running by the end of the day. Theres a slow change of season in the far north of china this is winter sitting here but its staying a long way north at the moment and in the forecast having that shes 16 degrees with rain as young south which is a Korean Peninsula and then off shore most of china is still enjoying a bit of a late summer early autumn warmth the temps in the low twentys typically but there is cold air around harbin dropped to 6 degrees a High Temperature on thursday. Now the wettest weather is in vietnam across in their charts the bay of bengal this circulation not returning to a tropical psycho but it will produce a lot of right now for me and their future for bangladesh. When i think of my leisure i think of potential when i think of potential i think for what it is not i think of young people literally to go to the island and do something that they can be proud of tom its impossible i think to the challenge. The reason the challenge in the country under. My name is mendacious so and this is my. Mind nigeria on aljazeera. Welcome back heres a reminder of the top stories on aljazeera major areas largest city is under a 24 hour curfew went to bed and the weeks of protests the indefinite restrictions in lagos come after a Police Station was torched in them a stray sions against allegations of Police Brutality the fiance of murdered saudi journalist demolish. The Saudi Crown Prince in the us the lawsuit alleges that mohammed bin sound man ordered the murder in istanbul 2 years ago. And the around 3000000. 00 people in manchester will be moved into the u. K. Sit tight as the level of coronavirus restrictions from friday italys Prime Minister meanwhile has ruled out on National Lockdown but 3 regions in the country. I bet they didnt you measures. Postal votes in the u. S. President ial election will still be accepted 3 days after the election and one state following a cork ruling the Country Supreme Court turned down an appeal by the republicans that would have limited the counting in pennsylvania votes postmarked election day or before will now be accepted in what could be a key swing state our White House CorrespondentKimberly Halkett says the issue of mail and ballots has become important during the campaign why this is such a divisive issue particularly along partisan battle lines has to do a lot with mail and voting typically democrats seem more supportive of that they have confidence in the mail in ballot and system donald trump on the other hand has said that its rife in rigged for fraud and as a result most conservatives choose to stand in line to cast their ballot voting day so the issue became that the republicans wanted to cut off when those mail in ballots in pennsylvania could be accepted on november 3rd but democrats made the argument that they should if theyre postmarked by the 3rd still be counted even if they come in 3 days late and so this is where the controversy has come in to give you an idea of just how much importance this campaign here at the white house places on pennsylvania back in 2016 around this time Hillary Clinton in the polls was ahead by 6 Percentage Points donald trump ended up taking the state this time around joe biden is ahead 4 Percentage Points so republicans believe they have a fighting chance even though joe biden is ahead in the polls in fact so much so thats why donald trump will be going to that state this evening to hold a make america get great again right. Ali as he fights for every vote with we should point out 2 weeks until election day 2 weeks indeed while america suburbs are said to be a crucial backed battleground in the president ial campaign they were key to Donald Trumps victory in 2016 helping him take swing states like wisconsin and minnesota and as john hendren reports now from just outside minneapolis that this of george floyd in the city and the protests violence and Property Damage which followed could have an impact on voters. All of the suburbs were rolling lawns lead to expensive homes where scenic views meet shops quaint and common close to culture foreign uff from squalor idyllic havens of safety and middle income splendor but dont let the leafy tranquility fool you divisions here run deep these are the battlegrounds where the u. S. Election will be decided in suburban minnesota a short commute from minneapolis George Floyds death under a Police Officers need led to raucous protests that divided a nation in many households. And probably for me it would be trying i like the idea of a republican socialism and that seems to be the direction of the democrats and i think character is an important quality and. I think also we need someone who can unify and not divide it why President Donald Trump seeks to instill fear into the suburban heart if you were elected this guy the suburbs would be overwhelmed with violence and crime and why joe biden is striking back how many suburbs will be burned in wildfires how many suburban neighborhoods will have been flooded out how many suburbs will have been blown away. Its super storms. Here one voters crisis of law and order is anothers calamity of social injustice and i have 100 percent support for the protesters and ive been doing my best to stay as active and be as involved as i can with it when trump won the suburbs in 2016 he won the election the math of midwestern battleground states is Pretty Simple the cities lean heavily toward democrats the rural areas lean heavily toward republicans most of these states will be decided in the suburbs the battlegrounds within the battleground states in pennsylvania michigan and Wisconsin Trump won the suburbs and narrowly won those states he won the suburbs here outside minneapolis to narrowly lost this state but there are signs of trouble for trump here white women for instance perfectly College Educated women growing really disenchanted with him in many ways so a lot of them are from the suburbs so yes overall they are moving away at least somewhat. Here in the land of 10000 lakes trump is no lagging biden in the polls but Trump Supporters know he also leg Hillary Clinton in minnesota in 2016 before nearly pulling off an upset victory john hendren aljazeera was out of minnesota the u.
