Polls predict a tight race between the 2 men battling it out to be president. So then theres been another record daily rise in the number of corona virus cases around the world 230000 people have been infected that is more than a hug a quarter of those are in the United States the state of florida has been particularly badly hit it lifted restrictions in may and has just reopened disney well but its shuttered the National Recall for new cases in a single day i recall had now reports. A new tragic record the largest number of coronavirus cases diagnosed in a single day in a single state of florida more than 15000 confirmed cases and the death toll is rising this is a state that was one of the 1st to reopen its economy and its republican governor was defiant at 1st a lot of people in your profession who wax poetic leap for weeks and weeks about out florida was going to be just like new york wait 2 weeks floridas going to be met just like it only wait 2 weeks well hell were 8 weeks away from that and it hasnt happened it took a few more weeks but it has happened and its actually worse than it ever was in new york but unlike there the Florida Governor has not issued a state wide mandate to where mass. Protests in one county tried to shoot and over the weekend another protest. A restaurant offering free food to people who refused to cover their faces selfish for not wearing a mask i want to say to you that all the people calling the selfish youre the one whos trying to force me a medical procedure so that you can feel more safe on the risks are very very loud this is a virus that has a 99. 6 percent recovery rate this is a virus that is very well contained this is a virus that the c. D. C. Is removing epidemic status from none of that is true and wearing a mask is not a medical procedure still it has become a political statement for many in the u. S. The entire reason for the shutdown was so hospitals like the one behind me do not become overwhelmed when the states that are seeing the biggest increases like florida arizona texas the hospitals are close to capacity and given what we know about how this virus spreads it is likely that that is going to continue stretching the hospitals beyond capacity. The president spent much of the weekend golfing but officials in his Administration Made clear they are gearing up for a fight against the lead Infectious Disease expert in the government dr anthony thought i respect dr a lot but dr fox he is not 100 percent right and he also doesnt necessarily he admits that have the whole National Interest in mind he looks at it from a very narrow Public Health point of view questions now about whether the man who has led every National Health emergency under 6 president s will be fired by President Trump in the midst of a growing pandemic patty call him aljazeera maryland. Mexico now has the 4th highest number of deaths from cavan 1000 in the world over take italy more than 35000 people have died its recorded more than 300000 infections but the government says the true number is likely to be significantly higher and south africa is reimposing some restrictions as cases that spike a curfew is back in place of a night and alcohol sales abound of the country has the highest number of infections on the continent the president s arrival says scientists a full costing as many as 50000 deaths by the end of the year and a televised address he explained why the government is bringing back the lockdown measures weve now decided that the sale the dispensing and the distribution of alcohol will be suspended with immediate effect there is. Now clear evidence that the resumption of alcohol savings 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 care few will be put in place between the hours of 9 pm and 4 am lets enough room for me to miller who has more from johannesburg. Boss of 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 mosque there 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 were in the last week alone and now south africa 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.

While this blockade protracted and considering the protraction of this situation so to speak russia is actually the state that will be gathering the most influence and has drawn in the us now is increasing the strew tonight in the situation and it has put it put it in quite a precarious situation because the pla medically speaking the us cannot do much unless it decides to counter russia either through very very concerted efforts soft power wise so that means speaking to terry key and speaking to the u. A. E. To stop doing what theyre doing or to counter russia militarily because russia is involved in the military so it has these 2 options and i dont see it taking any of the 2 and that means that libya is headed to a certain extent in some form some way shape or form to either a yemen or as syria like scenario unfortunately.

Unlike coded 19 we the infections can be tracked and reported on unlike the Economic Cost which can be measured in lost growth rising unemployment or to at the cost of this education emergency will be borne by children we estimate that the least 10000000. 00 children who are now out of school and who were in school will never go back to school there are many millions more children who will go back to school be at risk of dropping out because of the learning caps that have opened up will make been in lockdown and of course it is girls who bear the brunt of this because we know that when girls are out of school the risk of early marriage go out exponentially so thats why its really so critical that we wake up to the this emergency that we are facing and as an International Community response were.

Were facing a shortage of aid to food and clothes the important thing is bread people cant afford to buy it from outside we need basics like we said sugar and cooking oil and it has. 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.
