Have now topped 4000000 on average thats 2600 people testing positive every hour and the Economic Cost there is just this huge more than 1400000 people claimed Unemployment Benefits in just the past week its the 18th week in a row that the number has topped a 1000000 economists estimate that 25000000 people are now out of a chill. Republicans are preparing to reveal the one trillion dollar coronavirus rescue package but that accredits say it isnt adequate House Speaker nancy pelosi is heavily criticize the package saying that more can be done but we have a real challenge for getting politics through getting partisanship this is patriotism for our country were up to 4000000 people and a matter of just over 2 weeks from the 3000000 mark we have to act and what theyre proposing falls far short well meanwhile enhanced benefits brought in because of the coronavirus are due to expire at the end of the month the white house says its working on extending the scheme but thats little comfort for those still waiting for money they had already been promised gabriel is on the reports now from new york before sunrise hundreds of people line up outside an Unemployment Office in midwest city oklahoma theyve all lost their jobs amid the economic recession caused by coronavirus and are now waiting to get help and be laid unemployment checks Deidre Blakely used to work at a hotel casino in milwaukee wisconsin she was laid off in march and has yet to receive for Unemployment Benefits its been over 3 months with no income ive been really stressed lately.

S. In march Congress Passed a pandemic aid package that included an extra 600. 00 a week for anyone left unemployed by the pen demick the problem the money still hasnt reached many who need it so why are so Many Americans still waiting for their unemployment money i posed that question to jesse ross dean the former chief economist at the u. S. Department of labor he said the federal government and state governments are facing an tidal wave of Unprecedented Demand and that the systems set up in the 1970 s. To distribute unemployment money simply have not been updated and cant keep up when you triple or quadruple the volume of claims that come in the system the Computer Systems cant keep up and then to the extent that people need to be involved we dont have enough people to keep up with that and so the whole the whole mechanism of the system is set up for a time thats very different from now and that leads to difficulties in getting payments out in times like this and with the pandemic still spreading across america and more states closing down again after reopening its feared the unemployment lines could grow along with the frustrations of those still waiting for help he rolls on dough aljazeera in new york. Well the u. S. State of florida is reporting its highest a single day increase of covert 1000. 00 deaths its also added more than 10000. 00 new infections for the 8th consecutive day the state is now the worst within the u. S. And has been criticized for closing slowly and reopening to quickly most recently Florida Governor run the scientists resisted implementing a statewide facemask order but in miami theyve increased the amount of that people can be fined for not wearing a mask a fine of 100. 00 will be given for the 1st offense double the unishe all 50. 00 fine when face coverings became mandatory there several weeks ago and the gallagher is in miami for us now so florida as we were saying one of the states thats worst hit by the coronavirus a pellet give us a little bit more detail about what the situation there is like now. Well a dog day for this state with 174 deaths reported on thursday that is a state record and for about the past 10 days the number of you cases has been at least 10000 in fact on july the 12th it was closer 215000 in total 5600 residents of this state have now lost their lives and were still facing this patchwork approach to tackling the pandemic here youve got ron dissenters the governor of this state a close ally of President Trump giving a press conference this morning saying he wont reconsidering warning consider closing down businesses and scaling things back when it comes to schools something on the mind of many parents here hes encouraging as is donald trump to get kids back into school saying they are at least not risk but of course there is a risk to the teachers in those schools and to the people at the homes where the children return to and in fact just yesterday we had a 10 Year Old Girl die here in the state of florida from coronavirus complications so it is still a very dire situation here when it comes to testing that is becoming a real. Problem i can try to corona virus about 4 weeks ago myself so you have to tell everyone around you that youve had it they then go and get tested and most of the people around me that got tested out to wait at least 10 days for those test results to come through there are other reports suggesting 2 weeks no obviously that kind of weight is not recommended the c. D. C. Says it should just take 2 days and in that period of time you can actually contract covert 19 making those test results all but useless so this state continues to face many challenges and whilst gov run to scientists wont mandate mask wearing here in miami dade which has been hit worst of all in this state there is now a mandated mask rule applied if people get caught near about 40 plus officers out on the streets trying to put this in place you will get fined and could potentially face jail that does seem to be working here in the city of miami because the cases are trending downwards but overall the state is still in the middle of a very serious pandemic gallagher with the latest there from miami in florida and they thank you its going to bolivia now the country is postponing its president ial election because of a rising number of coronavirus cases there the vote will now be held in october 5 months after the initial may date but libyas interim president has a name and theirs and many of our cabinet have tested positive for covert 19 the delay has been criticized by bolivias former leftist and 1st indigenous leader ever morales who resigned in november after mass protests. Lets go live now to that is a bow is in the. Forest so its been bad enough to postpone the president ial election yet again just how bad is the situation in bolivia. When is very very serious as we know as you say earlier today via lecturer tribunal announced that they postponing the elections from september 6 am till october 18th thats about a month and i have theres this has been a story that has been on going since i committee advised the Health Ministry that elections could not happen in bolivia right now that the peak of the virus will head to livia probably by late july and it will last for a while and probably remain in the country throughout all this and thats why theyre saying that elections are not in a way were commendable at this point what we know right now is that hospitals in the capital of boss in cities like some tacos have completely collapsed Funeral Services have also collapsed the police have reported that theyre picking up the bodies of people on the street so its a very very dire situation on the ground at least 6 Political Parties in the country have been requesting to the elections to be postponed able more Movement Towards Socialism Party has been saying that the elections need to happen right now that it is a threat to bolivia as democracy lets not forget what happened in bolivia last year it will what i just was forced to resign after protests took over their elections were suspended what i just had to leave the country and thats why many many in bolivia are saying that the elections should happen right now but the situation if extremely difficult at this point i said before 2500 people have lost their lives are saying that that figure could be much higher but many human Rights Groups we have spoken to are saying that elections are necessary in order in a way to get Transparent Elections are necessary in order to guarantee that the Political Tension that exists in bolivia right now can be decreased a lot of issues there that need to be balanced and you mentioned how you know how horrible the numbers are 1 and really when you look at latin america as a whole some of the numbers are staggering there have been 800000 cases in latin america in just 24 hours. Thats correct and the impact in latin america is romantic because of the problems of the endemic problems that latin america has overcrowding in many of the major cities the lack of access to Public Health inequality among many others and 100000 cases in this fast 24 hours thats at the center of this epidemic in the region is brazil with 67000 confirmed cases in this past a feel for how in the past 24 hours with the virus reaching to the amazon rain forest affecting indigenous communities affecting People Living in brazils favelas with as i said before problems of poverty overcrowding access to Public Health 2nd the amount 2nd amount of infections weve seen an incredible rise in argentina with over 5000 cases argentina was one of the 1st countries in the region to impose a very Strict Lockdown with Security Forces on the ground but in the past few days the cities of one aside and greater will cite is where around 12000000 people live testart it to open up some businesses and shops have started to open up and the cases have increased and also another country thats been affected is the rule its the 2nd country with the largest amount of cases in latin america and were seeing that the amount of infections are moving towards the south the city of akiba they have reported over 10000 cases in this past 24 hours doctors have been protesting there that they dont know how do not have enough supplies in order to cope with whats happening in the country so most definitely that america is deeply affected with what is going on not only because of the amount of loss of life but also because of the impact that it will have on those regions economy.
