Meanwhile several regional heads of resigned voluntarily as well as the capitals met protesters proclaimed a new measure of bishkek earlier on monday when all Senior Correspondent spoke further abang vents their vote against the eff with kevin. It really kicked off there overnight more or did a lot of it seemed peaceful enough when these protests begat merely people taking to the streets to voice their displeasure at how these elections what conducted it the results of the election would gradually with with passions and tempers rising people begad hurling stones at Police Progressive you became more and more Violent Police began firing tear gas water cabin back at the protesters indeed even robbed of bullets hundreds and hundreds of people now injured scores of them seriously many in intensive care in hospitals protest bit protestors begad assaulting government compounds the president the president ial palace the parliament the the office of the mayor all fallen to the protesters a deep the former president s son was among them leading one group that sees the central jail in in bishkek in the capital and he freed his father the former president who himself was was in jail facing corruption charges abuse of office even mud for his infamous role in violent resistance against a police raid. With because of what unfortunately innocent civilians suffer from the antiterrorist telfer group read that was sent to capture me the violence and cynicism of the current authorities are insane besides rubber bullets to special forces also used combat weapons one more time a call on the authorities to change their course and i would like to tell soldiers do not shoot your own people this is all good. To end badly for year at this point the situation is precarious because the the protesters arent going anywhere they have now voiced plans to install a new temporary Prime Minister to oversee read the writing of the country in prayer preparations for for new elections the president was adamant that what happened in bishkek was an illegal attempts by protesters by those who had lost to seize power this kind of trouble for views around the world just kind of a picture of forests is it unusual for kurdistan or not now this this isnt the 1st time were seeing events like this the reason that the government went out of its way to try to make this election or make it seem as if it was piro was because of. In the past 30 years there have been 3 similar revolutions protesters out mistreats calling for regime change the 1st president after 15 years in power was forced out by street protests the 2nd exiled out of the country now this is happening for a 3rd time unfortunately weve given give you start history there is a new telling which way events will unfold over against the if there were local journalists in bishkek also sent to sis reports on the violence that has gripped the city. Was. Just mocking the city on the. Weekends. We were under the letters will. Tell you it will. Be evil. The revenues donald trump is back in the white house he had spent 3 nights in hospital after testing positive for one thing i learned so much about corona virus and one thing that dont let it dominate you dont be afraid of it and i didnt feel so good and 2 days ago i could have left 2 days ago 2 days ago felt great were going back were going back to work going to be out front as your leader i had to do that and i know theres a risk theres a danger but thats ok and now im better and maybe im immune i dont know but dont let it dominate your lives get out there be careful we have the best medicines in the world. But his comments there didnt furia many medical experts who did say damn play the deadly threat of the virus made the statement a few hours after leaving hospital following his release the president ial helicopter touched down in washington with the u. S. Leader going to the white house balcony and removing his mask to pose for photos. Of the American People are of course still being affected as well the northeast dissing another big spike in cases new york city is already set to close schools in several neighborhoods getting hit hard by the virus and new restrictions come into force on choose day my number one concern has always been schools i would not send my child to school in a hot spot cluster that is not interested were going to close the schools in those areas tomorrow. Or the u. S. As a whole remains the worlds hot spot for the pandemic on friday new infections hit a 2 month record with over 54000. 00 positive cases thats the highest daily tally since the middle of august when the country recorded just over 64000 cases we heard from people in new york about the latest decision to close the schools. Why was he thought millstones there is no great optically what was my sons school which is actually to want to toy with out loud to the closet its for the safety of the students at the end of the day that theyre probably going to get down to making the most. Of. It somewhat discouraged at the same time for. Whatever whatever needs to be done theyre doing it you know that the school particulars are going well corresponds. To why new york is facing again a viral spike. The rate of infection in new york city is rising once again the highest numbers weve seen sense back in may so who is to blame for this well new york state Governor Andrew Cuomo says the buck stops with local officials. Say go over effective enforcement for every jurisdiction for local jurisdiction cannot or will perform effective enforcement violating entities notify the states and to close all Business Activity in hotspots where local governments come to compliance now cuomo says words have led to allegations of hypocrisy hes criticizing local officials for not doing what he has recommended well back earlier during the pandemic he was criticized for not doing what federal officials recommended i dont believe that any federal administration could be serious about physical lock downs of states or parts of states across this country i dont believe its illegal i think it would be economic chaos the decision around nursing home with Governor Cuomo decreeing that co that 19 patients should be sent there at a pretty big impact many have not forgotten what they see is a pretty big misjudgment that cost many lives there is something disgusting that democrats are doing that joe biden does and that you do which is you try to blame the people whove lost their lives on your political enemies was it a mistake when your brother implemented a policy that Nursing Homes had to accept coded positive patients and endangered the lives of my brother was the 1st one to say the state was there was a learning cuomo has also faced criticism for allowing black lives matter protests to take place despite talking up the risks are talking about reopening in one week in new york city. And now were seeing these methods maersk gatherings over the past several minutes that could in fact exacerbate the covert 19 spread now despite his policy differences with the white house new york state Governor Andrew Cuomo sent his best wishes to President Donald Trump when he got coded 19 that is unlike new york citys mayor bill de blasio who saw it as an opportunity to take the president to task i think its another reminder of why what some of us have been saying is right wear masks practice social distancing and take it seriously this president obviously didnt do it and paid the price party lines power and position mean nothing to the coronavirus everyone is at risk now new york Governor Andrew Cuomo admits the leaders of the state made some pretty big mistakes along the way however he still wants everyone to believe that he is the guy to lead us through the crisis well andrew cuomo is a leading figure within the Democratic Party the Democratic Partys strategy. During this 2020 a lecture and has to run again in his trumpet and to run against coded new york has had the worst record in its handling. Of it in the country i mean new york has had the worst. Case death rate statistics and little was sprayed with the incidence of cope with in the country because much of the media in the United States is entirely in cahoots with the Democratic Party cuomo hasnt suffered any adverse consequences on that so yes its hypocritical but he can get away with it hes going to blame in the go with trump and pose as the hero who somehow say new york at the same time in the media and watch and allow him to get away with it. Now the violence is rage on. Between azubuike and armenia with heavy fighting continuing over the disputed nagornokarabakh enclave the region is internationally recognized as part of as a vision but run by Ethnic Armenians well heres some of the most recent images from the battlefield released by both countries i mean forces released a video showing in this area tank being destroyed while these areas presented footage of the village quote liberated from occupation and another video too of what they claim is captured military equipment you could have done of brings us up to speed now from an armenian time on the border. About 20 minutes away from the go and i care about this disputed region where clashes have continued and fierce clashes its difficult to paint an objective picture as to what the situation is like on the frontlines and thats because both sides armenia and azerbaijan the give contradicting statements for instance just yesterday armenia announced what they called a tactical retreat saying that they had to abandon several positions but they only did so in order to avoid mass casualties and to deal more damage to the enemy later in the day they had said that well their plan worked that they managed to kill some 200 desire by johnny soldiers and the rest of the army fled their by judge in turn denied all of that saying that they have complete dominance on the battlefield and that they managed to capture several villages you see how difficult it is to tell what exactly is going on there this comes to the tune of the armenian Prime Minister calling on all conscripts on all Army Conscripts who were discharged in the past year and therefore legally arent part of the mobilization to volunteer have a listen yes i want to appeal to our guys discharged from military service over the past year come to the center Recruitment Office and enlisting the army this is a life and death struggle thats as the capital of nagornokarabakh the city of where we lived. For the past for the past week or so it is being bombed relentlessly ruthlessly in fact sources on the ground are telling me that the scale of the bombings of the by journey bombings there have been absolutely unprecedented this is why our crew and other International Journalists unfortunately had to leave that beautiful town simply because it is too unsafe there we are hoping to get back there as soon as the situation more or less stabilizes in a so that as the as there by johnny president called on turkey to get involved in. This conflict not militarily but at least to be part of the solution this comes amid mounting reports that turkey is already neck deep in this conflict helping as they are by journey forces on the ground and also there is an International Consensus and some evidence that will turkey is helping as by john hiatt and recruit syrian militants to fight on their side this is something that both turkey and israel by john vehemently deny and now the United States state department and the foreign ministries of russia and france released a joint statement calling on both sides to mediately cease fire. Promising to intensify diplomatic pressure on both by john key. And stories of the unrecognized nagornokarabakh so i will be standing by and hopefully bring you move from the ground soon you go should an of there well things are also heating up in azerbaijani territory needed to speak to the area the government says the 2nd largest city in the country came under fire on monday and these are pictures now the market was shelled according to authorities the armenian side denies they have fired on territory meanwhile is that a conference and in doing all they can to chip in reporting next is now from the capital but. In the wake. Of the. In the region of the consulate it is and one make their own contribution. For the progress of this old throughout the capital there are several collection points by acting with this initiative of the people they want something from they all are already sense just. 2 trucks just today were sent about 150 boxes i think a big portion of the salary we must be spent this way and we here to stand our support to frontline troops we want to assure our soldiers that we are always with them. Statement even should that be expressed regret due to the people for this assistance but in the same time they said that people military personnel leave who are equipped provide it was all neat and in order to prevent any kind of misuse irrational or species even set up a temporary hotline where people can get in touch with the officers in the Missile Defense and then they will help them to distribute the assist to the destination final destination that of the soldiers or national army. Is the shooting does continue dozens of civilians have lost their lives on both sides infrastructure in the corner cutting back has been severely damaged to you as a result of the fighting many humanitarian organizations are alarmed by the escalation of violence and the level of civilian casualties we did speak to the red cross which says that locals have found themselves in an impossible situation. Having a terrible impact answered and instead humanitarian consequences are already apparent we are on the ground across the region and what we are seeing and hearing is that people are absolutely terrified and being forced to make really impossible decisions on how to keep themselves and their families safe people i reports of the on the move. And to find shelter on top of statistics is all happening in the context where winter is coming people have already been dealing with dayglo bokova pandemic we have been helping hospitals in the corner kyra back on the quest weve helped with emergency medical supplies our teams in the field its quite restricted in terms of what they can do because of the volatility of the situation because the fighting so intense in places so we havent actually even been able to get most of those and do a full assessment as we as we would like to do but obviously people people do need support and people need help and where we can weve been stepping up and we obviously hope to do a lot more. Were watching our feel comfy this hour britains with 19 tracing program suffers a major pick up with fans of cases disappearing from the system or have a look at what went wrong most of the stories to just off the bridge. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy going from duration let it be an arms race in this on off and this very Dramatic Development only really im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical guy time to sit down and talk. No one else seemed wrong but all roads just dont call. Me all the get to shape out of disdain become educated and gain treatment because betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart wait shes to look for common ground. Welcome back now the u. K. s response has been hit by a major scandal almost 16900 cases vanished from the National Tracing System all because of a technical error and in turn hampering efforts to find the contacts of those who had tested positive for the virus thousands of people blissfully unaware theyve been exposed to code it potentially spreading this deadly virus a time when hospital admissions are increasing and where in the 2nd wave where the issue occurred at the end of september cope with 19 case data failed to transfer from the ball from the laboratories to an x l spreadsheet used to tally the numbers misleading official figures suggested the u. K. s coronavirus cases were beginning to plateau but the missing cases confirmed that the country still on an upward path Prime MinisterBoris Johnson says all those infected have been contacted and the u. K. Health secretary was forced to admit the mistake. This incident should never have happened but the team of acted swiftly to minimize its impact now its critical that we Work Together to put this right what i can say is that all those people obviously being contacted in the key thing it is as i say that everybody whether it be in this group or all generally shouldnt should so pricey thats the way to make it work. Well there was an outcry online when the error was 1st announced the frustration with the test and try system comes with the surprise that it was linked to an older version of excel that shocked many who pointed out the amount of money spent on the Apps Development so which is a considerable amount we asked people in london how serious the consequences might be. Losing lives every day and we know small numbers what are the big numbers. This is business number for you come to these living in new york and i imagine theyll develop it as time goes on theres a real president. Sticks think that because it to be really good people. It will have a perfect in in the case of the repository they could have dished out a lot better. And i doubt wed be in such a happy to get the government going to have to rethink from here. The people will lose interest because obviously. You know their expressions something should feel guys already should be living probably. Or to Digital Privacy expert ray walsh to tell us that x. L. Should not be used for collecting this type of data and the former head of the Health Analysis in the office for National StatisticsJames Jenkins thinks that the main issue is tracking down everybody missed juta the glitch. It is quite concerned in that say 16000 cases have gone missing and it doesnt surprise me that potentially that they have been using some kind of archaic data systems that the government has been known in the past for being slow to on the Technology Uptake except im sure that the officials are probably getting and been working tirelessly behind the scenes and its probably that they go the pace that they be asked to deliver these things is probably causing the problems but this 16000 cases gone missing you know it doesnt really matter so much in regards to the numbers that were issued each day what the actual true number was a loss to release them all consumed in part is the actual trace bit if people have been in contact with somebody and then theyve not known about that they havent isolated dating could have passed that on and you kind of get into this kind of spiral thing that skit thats going on the reason that this has happened is that excel is a Spreadsheet Program that is very completely unsuitable for handling such a vast and Critical Data project exile is a spreadsheet that can only actually handle around 1048000 rows what they should really have done is they should have firm goals are to question was to create certain specific dates of race that was the barbers and even graduate level data scientists or its professionals could have great if. You were going to basically times them some identify isnt true right this isnt just negligence that it should be technical incompetence.
