Percent between him and his rival its still too close to call. And the aid agencies are warning that russias victory in limiting syria a deliveries to just one Border Crossing will cost lives and intensify the suffering of 1300000 people. Welcome to the program from the americas to asia the coronavirus pandemic is infecting people around the planet wreck all rights the World Health Organization has reported more than 230000 cases in 24 hours the highest single day increase since the outbreak began globally the death rate is remaining steady around 5000. 00 people are dying each day but in the worlds worst affected country infections and fatalities are both rising the u. S. State of florida has shot at the National Record for daily cases more than 15000 reported on sunday thats higher than any of americas other states at the peak of their outbreaks well to put it into perspective if florida were a country in itself it would rank 4th in the world for the most new cases each day behind the United States brazil and india the surge in infections have already exceeded the highest daily tallies reported by any european country so far the total number infected in florida is now nearing 270000 more than 4000 people have died across the United States more than 135000 people have died nationally. Well patty cohen joins us live now from outside a hospital in maryland and if we can look at the situation in florida 1st another depressing milestone has been paused how all the hospitals coping and how much pressure is it pushing on the Health System that. Well if you think about it the whole reason the country shut down is so we wouldnt see what happened in the hospitals in spain and italy happen here or to the hospital behind me now here in maryland they locked it down and basically theyve seen the Positivity Rate stay below 5 percent but in florida the Positivity Rates thats the number of tests being taken. Could coming back positive is now 12 almost 20 percent so as you mentioned more than 15000 cases and lets think about this virus what we know about this virus your sick and spreading the disease for days if not up to 2 weeks before you actually start to feel the symptoms so if these 15000 people were getting even one other person sick more likely 2 or 3 these numbers are going to be astronomical and likely the hospitals are going to collapse and many cities they already have or theyre at least at capacity and lets not forget florida this is a state with a mostly Elderly Population so theyre going to see the death toll continue to rise but one thing they have not done is really change any of what they are doing when it comes to social behavior youre not seeing people being told by the state that they have to wear masks youre not seeing them close churches or they have closed many bars but churches are still happening now salons hair salons so these businesses are still happening and people are not Wearing Masks meaning these numbers could be just a horrific beginning right and it would appear that there are no plans to roll back on the reopening so many businesses and companies are going to turn main open for now. They are and that is unless the governor of the census decides to change attacked has shown no indication of this excuse me of course it started early in the 2 you know he reopened faster than many of the other states in america and 2 weeks later he did a victory lap he chastised the media and said you all is playing to doomsday picture there is no truth to whats happening well it wasnt just 2 weeks but we saw a lot of people in florida and a lot of these states that are having this problem we saw them all rush to bars not Wearing Masks and starting to see now on mostly republican governor saying they dont want to take the steps are saying you have to wear masks we saw in texas the governor changed course but what we saw there is local officials said were not going to wear masks so the idea about wearing a mask in this country its now become a partisan issue if you wear one youre saying youre a democrat if you dont youre saying youre republican and youre not going to youre not going to cave to what the government wants you to do now it could change because youre starting to see a different tone from the u. S. President donald trump he was seen in public wearing a mask but that was at a hospital and he said well in certain situations like in hospitals you should wear a mask so not the exact indorsement that you saw Public HealthOfficials Say was necessary to stop these horrific numbers from continuing decline thank you very much with the latest on this story patty calling in joining us there from washington thank you patty so lets turn to south africa now have been some changes that the president reinstating a nighttime curfew and a ban on alcohol sales as his country grapples with a corona Virus Outbreak thats infecting 500 people every hour more than 13000 new 1000 cases have been reported over the past 24 hours the highest on record for the country 84000 people have died of course ralton in just the last week. Weve now decided that the so you the dispensing and the distribution of oklahoma will be suspended with immediate effect. There is no clear evidence that the resumption of of course aliens has resulted in substantial pressure being put on hospitals including trauma and i. C. U. Units therefore as an additional measure to reduce the pressure on hospitals a curfew will be put in place between the hours of 9 pm and 4 am for me to mill in johannesburg says the government is modifying its response but also africa had quite a Strict Lockdown in place as the 1st infections were recorded back in march and april some of those restrictions have been eased but the president also said that South Africans arent at hearing to the regulations that are meant to try and stop the spread of covert 19 he says people arent wearing maust theyre so massive social gatherings especially on weekends massive funerals where people are likely to catch coronavirus because theyre not adhering to any of the Health Regulations in place so that was very much the gist of that address but also given the surge in numbers in recent weeks you also mentioned how. A quarter of the infections are quarter of the deaths recorded and then i was sitting at just over 4000 where in the last week alone and now south africa is seeing an average of 12000 new infections every day and every day were seeing a new record in the number of infections and just how concerned the government is at this point and this is whats led to the government reversing or backpedaling to some extent around some of the easing of restrictions. Well india is reporting a record surge of nearly 29000. 00 new coronavirus cases in the past 24 hours on tuesday a weeklong lockdown will be imposed in bengaluru one of the countrys largest cities in the capital of the Southern State of karnataka the new cases take the National Total of people who have been infected up to nearly 850000 at least 22 and a half 1000 people have died.

Polands president ial race is still too close to call exit polls have given the conservative incumbent a large in a lead with almost 51 percent is slightly up against socially liberal. Is predicted to receive just over 49 percent of the vote so i gather reports.

Homophobic agenda was an appeal to his partys nationalist base his constitutional reforms that we can the independence of the countrys judiciary also put him at odds with the you compared with.

Them the situation is very bad we dont get enough aid but people depend on it to survive in the camp if even less comes they will face huge hardship with 2 crossing points were barely surviving will be under even more pressure if its reduced to one. Humanitarian aid agencies worry that reducing the number of crossing points will further choke off vital a for years the un ran its humanitarian operations through 4 crossing points 2 in turkey one in iraq and one in jordan. The International Organization warns stop being cross border aid delivery will cause suffering and death now this is happening at a time when the humanitarian crisis in the country has actually got worse we had almost a 1000000 people displaced earlier this year so we are very concerned that the amount of access for humanitarian aid is being refused at the very time when we actually need more access stranded and surviving mainly through a serious face another major crisis with covert 19 spreading in opposition territory limited to a delivery to one Border Crossing will also likely further delay much needed medical supplies to contain the outbreak for now russia will have a bigger say over cross Border Operations and for many displaced syrians pushed by the army to retake rebel held areas will leave them with 2 options face starvation or surrender house in marbella 0.
