while, the government was encouraging everyone to go and get a test, but seemingly at the moment, people are finding that impossible to do so and when they go on the website, they are unable to book a slot and this is that one of the sites, if you turn up and with the key health worker and you are not able to get a test, however, if they did plan one in advance, that they would be able to get tested and may be, not quite as severe as gulf news is talking about the uae is warning of violators, as cases spike in social gatherings are being blamed for a two week search, according to the paper. yes, i think this is of being the beer went to around increases in cases and —— this will be an increase in cases there were 930 new cases with the highest daily increase in four months and that has been, and so, a lot of countries are going to be continue to look at the numbers and where there are the spikes and why they're happening and make sense that so rules can be adjusted in the public can adjust to the right way and soi public can adjust to the right way and so i think this is all around the world and will continue to be monitored. for viewpoint of the uae were there talking about an increase in cases spiking where is the japan times, they're looking at tokyo lifting its measures on dining and travel. so, a little bit of respect there. through august and the start of september into tokyo, restaurants and bars are being told that they need to close their doors at 10pm every night to limit the amount of people coming in and limiting the spread of coronavirus but

compared to the uk seems very far from being able to which compared to the uk seems very farfrom being able to do which compared to the uk seems very far from being able to do something like that at

good sign, but there is a decrease in cases and dave think that there are a lot of lessons, some these people, countries like new zealand as well, have really ducked the kinds of measures that they have put in place, although at they have put in place, although at the start of the pandemic, there was a lot of talk about how it is not possible to compare because countries are so different. but i actually think, we can begin to look at different countries and look at what has and has not worked and look at the different populations, different kinds of populations and what is actually been done and i think that is something that is being done to an extent but we can actually increasingly do it but in the uk, we are in this rejection at times of having these kinds of comparisons. but i do think it is a global pandemic in the pandemic does not respect borders and people like to construct them and still learning some lessons on how other countries have dealt with this is something that we need to do. putting coronavirus to one side, a watershed moment for wall street. what city group is doing. will be the first, to have a female chief executive and they are appointing a scottish
