Jobs saying it has to shrink to survive the pandemic and. Russia stages ground world war 2 parade storing patriotic fervor ahead of a vote that could extend that of evolutions presidency. New growth of ours cases in the u. S. Have risen to their highest level in 2 months thats now recorded almost 2 and a half 1000000 infections and 121000 deaths and researchers at the university of washington and now predicting that nearly 180000. 00 could die by october about half of the 50 states is seeing a surge especially in the self and southwest cases arising in the states seen hair and dark orange falling in those shaded gray light orange states are considered steady. And York New Jersey and connecticut have imposed quarantine perrie its for travelers from states with the highest infection rates we worked very hard to get the truck viral transmission rate damn we dont want to see it go up because a lot of people come into this region and they could literally bring the infection with them the. Infection rate formula will be 10 per 10000187 day rolling average or 10 percent of the total population positive on a 7 day rolling average so any state that has an infection rate above that would require 14 day quarantine as of today the states that are above that level are alabama arkansas zona florida North CarolinaSouth Carolina washington utah texas thats as of today 4 weeks floridas governor defended his states reopening plans and resisted making mosques mandatory but on wednesday rhonda sent a signal of the scale of the infections what were seeing in florida is really Rapid Transmission in that 18 to 34 age group and youre seeing a lot of cases come up and granted they werent being tested at this at the at this level a couple months ago but i also think theyre testing positive at a higher and higher rate. Bret brolan is a former u. S. Diplomat hes now president of Global Situation room a Political Communications consultancy he joins us now from washington thank you time for it how do you think this rise of coronavirus cases in the u. S. Is impacting Donald Trumps popularity now and bidens ability to make inroads. Well theres been a number of polls released in just the last week which indicate donald trump is down anywhere from 10 to 14 points behind joe biden and that is a significant shift from what we saw only a few months ago so i think as the numbers of cases and deaths go up unfortunately were seeing a political impact on the president s standing i think it becomes more and more difficult for him to make the case to the American People hes got this under control and he deserves another 4 years if we get a little bit more specific are there any indications about states that have shown strong support for trump that are now turning to become swing states yeah interesting only 2 of the states that you mention texas arizona have actually traditionally been republican strongholds and yet despite that deep red support in past elections donald trump seems to be having Trouble Holding on to his lead and also and this is very important for the International Audience republican senators in those states as well martha make sally in arizona john koran in texas are both in difficult reelection bits whatever you make of Donald Trumps response to the crowd a virus pandemic it has given him a lot of air time. His briefings for a while there were viewing all of the world whenever they happened do you think joe bidens message his campaigning has gotten lost here. You know its interesting there is a moment in politics where it sometimes is preferable to let the other candidate or in this case let the president will fall on the disaster and i think thats unfortunately whats happened in the case of President Trump you know he did those daily briefings for a while dominated them and i think his advisors were telling him mr president this is not helping us its not helping us obviously with the health issue but its not helping your polling numbers are there. Has blamed the World Health Organization and hes blamed china hes blamed the democrats do you think those explanations will hold sway specifically for his supporters who have in the past same to support him no matter what well thats the thing is youve seen a lot of blame shifting here and you know donald trump is glad to take credit for or any indication of success and has no responsibility for things going badly i think that only works so long and one of the interesting features of the cope with 1000. 00 crisis is that it has been a constant crisis over several months and so its more difficult for trump to keep on blaming others at the end of the day especially when we see other countries around the world reopening with low numbers and the u. S. Is still quite high thanks for that really good to get your analysis brett brew in there president of Global Situation room. A plan by israel to annex parts of the occupied west bank has been condemned by the United Nations secretarygeneral as a most serious violation of International Law and has appealed to israel to change its mind while the arab league is warning that if it doesnt that could be a religious war and diplomatic editor james reports from the u.
