Look at how the outbreak in africa threatens to send malaria related deaths soaring the c. S. And also perhaps. The painstaking process of restoring the acropolis in athens as the greek government revenues its call for britain to return its ancient trusts. And im santa how much not have all the support a big day for your fantasy the syria leaders have the chance to wrap up a night straight at league title. But we begin this hour with the current virus pandemic which is spreading further and faster every day now it took the wild 2 weeks to get from 1000000. 00 to 2000000. 00 infections its now taken just 4 days to make the leap from 15 to 16000000 days out from the u. S. Based on Hopkins University shows the United States. Brazil and india are leading that savage and take a look at this graph it shows the number of cases that are added daily and that curve is clearly rising with more than a quarter of a 1000000 new infections every 24 hours almost 650000 people wild wide are now known to have died after contracting the disease or shortly and in miami will tell us about the 10s of thousands of new u. S. Infections at the but is that Londons Gatwick airport for us with reaction to recent snap decision to reimpose that quarantine on travelers from spain but 1st this report from qatar. An unexpected change of plans hours before boarding a flight from spain back to the u. K. These tourists have learned will have to quarantine for 14 days on arrival the country was taken over britain say travel list on saturday and the measure took effect at midnight we had a wedding to go to and we help plans to visit friends and family that we havent seen in about a long time im not like i have to cancel all those plans so its really quite upsetting the sudden reversal falls to surge of covert 19 infections in spain we cry for straight right to be honest because it fails she feels safer in spain what it did bring me to the u. K. Before we left the u. K. It wasnt monday cheats wear face masks in a lot of places. But nearly everybody is wearing them so. Many of the new infections in spain are among young people showing mild or no symptoms lockdowns were imposed in some areas barcelona bars said curfews and many nightclubs closed the Tourism Industry in spain accounts for about 12 percent of the countrys economy and its again preparing for a downturn more than 20 percent of its foreign visitors last year were british and now france is recommending people avoid traveling there. So far weve had no cancel. Nations but this may create doubts for people over the coming weeks i hope there are fewer cases but a lot of work has to be done. The sudden reimposition of restrictions is a reminder to many that even though some walked down measures here recently relaxed a pandemic appears to be far from over patentable use of the union which is here on out its cousin a dream bob that has the catholic campus in london and e. M. I. See that madrid is defending their current virus response. Thats right it is defending its response because the British Government has been explaining its decision to impose this 40 day corn seen rule based on figures coming out of many cities in spain many areas of space on friday spain recorded 900 new called it cases and there are cities including barcelona madrid and saragossa which have seen a spike in in the number of infections so the British Government says it had to act it otherwise the dates are and then announce what it did on saturday spain now in the form of its foreign minister insisting that the country remains safe for tourism saying that they are trying to reassure their European Partners and theyre also trying to convince the British Government right now so exclude the bally eric highlands and the Canary Islands from that rule the quarantine rule because those islands of course are not part of maine and spain the British Government said that their decision was based on the pictures of coal they didnt fictions across mainland spain but the Spanish Government arguing that the islands should not be part of those restrictions because theyre very popular with tourists including british tourists and i mean this is caylee court so many people off guard how are people taking this relatively stubborn decision. People are really annoyed in some cases worried in others because they had just a few hours notice on saturday evening local time here people learned that if they arrived later than midnight local time they would come under the corn seed rules and not just for may not spain but those islands lets not forget ive talked to people who planned to go to the Southern Spain and who were key workers so they could said they couldnt afford to have 2 weeks off work returning from spain serve and change their travel plans some people are more stoic saying that they knew there was a risk involved in foreign travel but the tour operators here in britain are very annoyed theyre choying to argue like this by his government that those islands should be exempt from the rules there are skin why the government couldnt have waited 48 hours after fridays figures before imposing the rules because so many people travel on a saturday the government would respond well thats the whole point they had to be seen to act quickly to reduce the likelihood of reinfection here in the u. K. The Opposition Labor Party here according on the government to say what theyll do to poor people who have to go into 2 weeks of self isolation but beyond that i think there are a big worries about how it will affect peoples confidence and therefore hit the travel industry box for many many months to come theyve already been incredibly bastards but theyre for us outside Gatwick Airport in london thank you so much nazeem well we can now speak to Andy Gallagher hes in Miami Florida one of the u. S. States where infections are rising the fastest and he the numbers just keep climbing across the country is there a sense that 1000 are trying to shift their approach to anyway. Well this is a very highly politicized subject tackling this pandemic in the last 24 hours we got reports that for 4 days in a row the u. S. Has reported over a 1000 deaths 18 states reporting record numbers of new cases and deaths the death toll now hovering around 150000 of the states worst affected at the moment were talking about california texas hurricane hanna the 1st hurricane of the season just hit that coast if you like in the last few hours and of course here in florida where for the past 2 weeks weve seen at least 10000 new cases of covert 19 each and every day that peaked on july the 12th with almost 15000. 00 cases and youve still got this very much patchwork politicized approach to tackling this pandemic here in florida rhonda scientists a very close ally of president jump is not talking about re closing businesses its pushing parents to send their children back to school which reopen next month and hes not mandating mask wearing but here in Miami Dade County the worst affected county in florida the mare of miami has put a mask mandate order in places reinforcing it with more than 40 Police Officers but in many cases certainly from what ive seen people are ignoring those orders especially in places like the beach where they are supposed to wear masks and meanwhile these figures just keep on climbing higher and higher and you talked about just happened the size this has all become i mean given the approach from the white house and the federal government where is confidence and trust in with our team now. Well thats a good question because what weve got here is a situation where the President Donald Trump has not come out with a National Strategy hes passed it on down to the states to deal with it in many cases the states are passing it the states governors are passing it on down to the men is so youve got this patchwork approach that simply isnt working if you look at the case of florida with more than 10000 new cases a day almost 6000 deaths and the icy use filling up very quickly so i think people are getting worried certainly businesses for the most part are still open here in miami but there is no National Strategy there is no state Level Strategy so as these figures climb higher and higher i think the blood getting more concerned and turning to leaders for some kind of decided Decisive Action because at the moment that really isnt happening certainly here in the state of florida and you get there in Miami Florida for us thank you andy with all the latest thanks well now we can dig into this a little more talk to buy a pen can you hes a senior clinical lecturer at university of x. To medical school and hes also acting Disease Control and management for more than 2 decades now he joins us from bath in the u. K. Dr thank you so much for taking the time to speak to us here on aljazeera and we are seeing this it celebration and spread across the globe was this to be expected especially as we saw countries easing their lockdowns. Absolutely and it surprises me that people are surprised and ask questions like where did this come from it is inevitable and obvious if we have a large number of cases and then we move from a environment of a lockdown to having people go back to work and mingling and socializing one meets the other and people get infected and then make more cases the other thing that makes coronavirus 1000 disease so difficult to control is because many people are infectious without showing any signs and symptoms of illness and that makes control that much more difficult and thats why we get these sudden resurge of cases all over the country and all were all over the world dr as weve been saying lots of countries have eased their lock downs and many of them have said they will not be shutting their commies down again after the damage of the last drop downs so realistically what are the options here for governments. Yes it is to work in partnership with health and economy and it is not a exclusive thing meaning we can Work Together and what we have to do is measures such as Infection Control social distancing wearing a mask are important other. Issues that have already started weve got to stop it so for example cinemas theaters crowded bars nightclubs those are places where infection will inevitably transmit and weve got to say no weve got to have restrictions that Outdoor Activities are a lot more safe than indoor activities so what we have to do is accept it will happen work in partnership determine what is safe and do the safe things and dont do the unsafe things where you say dont do the unsafe things i do want to ask about the hot spots that were seeing now the u. S. Thats in america especially india now even a 2nd wave in spain there is clearly very muddled messaging in places and what people should be doing is that whats driving the spread were seeing here. All without a doubt there has been a big failure of clear succinct precise communication in fact the biggest failing here in the United States brazil and elsewhere even in the u. K. Has been the mixed messaging we need these messages to be very clear very sharp and some of these messages are uncomfortable but youve got to say rather than be ambivalent about it so for example people whove gone on holiday to spain and now suddenly find that theyre going to have a quarantine period it should have been made absolutely clear that if you go somewhere and something happens in that country like a large number of cases we may have to restrict your movement upon returning back to the u. K. Thats not a difficult message to convey it should be conveyed in that manner and so weve also seen a huge acceleration in infections in south africa and africa has always been one of the regions that have been warning would struggle to cope with this pandemic given what weve seen in latin america recently showed the rest of africa be bracing for sad like south africa is currently experiencing. Im very concerned about africa because what we can do in europe is very difficult to achieve in africa therefore a lockdown is not possible because people live on a daily basis the havent got reserves of money to just sit at home and be ok there for a different approach is needed in africa and the only approach that we know all of in africa is basic Infection Control and government should help those poor nations with regard to their Infection Control and control of cope with disease its not going to be easy enough at all dr bad penn khania there from the university of x. To met at medical school great to new insights here on out as they are said thank you thinking of us. Well speaking of lockdowns in argentinas government appoint thousands of security personnel back in march to and force a nationwide lockdown there to contain the virus but reports of abuse and violence have also been on the rise as traceable reports from buenos aires. Seen demi dont says her brother luke last west killed by the police on july 9th the day he turned 18 be living on. I working class neighborhood in greater oneness itis yukos was shocked when he left his parents home to buy a drink to work out of work this was 2 blocks away and we were on a motorcycle the police car crashed into them and threw them on the ground he had a bullet in the middle of his chest i dont know why they did it lucas was so happy to be turning 18 he wanted to get a drivers license and help our family. Loved horses and like to compete in races around the province his friend Brian Bromell was with him that night he says they did not mean to violate the lockdown and never thought things would end up the way they did but to get on a limb. Now we cannot trust the police they dont take care of us they kill us we have to take care of each other because we cannot expect anything from them. But many say look us in the only victim of the Security Forces its been 4 months since argentina imposed to prevent the spread of colgate 19 but critics say that the government has given too much power to Security Forces on the ground who are in charge of patrolling the streets Security Forces that have been involved in abuses in the past human Rights Groups say that at least 12 people have been either killed or disappeared by argentinas Security Forces 22 year old. Went missing in april he told his mother he was going to see his girlfriend 200 kilometers away in the province of when. He was never seen again Security Forces have been patrolling the area where he went missing for the past few weeks to try to find him the United Nations is demanding a full investigation into what could have been and then forced disappearance human Rights Groups say the incidents in the past months are not isolated. This is nothing new and shows again that there is a structural problem during koren 1000 Security Forces acquired greater protectionism because they are in charge of the lock down reforming the police is a dead since argentina returned to democracy because even though there have been attempts of reform the real problems were never tackled. The 2 Police Officers involved in the killing of god on are under investigation his family is hoping justice will be served. One of us. Well in the news ahead this hour. A mostly peaceful protest turns into a crackdown by police and federal offices in Portland Oregon. And anger from women in poland as the government expands its conservative social agenda. And in sports no signs of rust and brown looks as deadly as ever even off to a few months off basketball action coming up a little later on. Protests in the u. S. City of portland against racism and Police Brutality and now into the 9th week nationwide demonstrations started back in may after the killing of george floyd and minneapolis portland city leaders say i guess being inflamed by a President Donald Trumps decision to send federal agents and riot. Was demonstrations like these have been held in Portland Oregon for the last 2 months. Protesters supporting the black lives Matter Movement demanding racial equality and in to Police Brutality throughout their profile if you get their message across that were not backing down and were not this im here for a very very good 03000 we will get our police before. The protest intensified this week after u. S. President donald trump sent federal agents into the city organs attorney general applied for a temporary restraining order against what she described as their unconstitutional tactics but that was rejected by a federal judge. Local politicians and democrats in congress accuse the officers of using Excessive Force even still more people are joining the demonstrations have been. Basically the president targets or try to make an example of the city. Absolutely brought a broader base to the to the protests were there at the beginning then after you know a month or so the protests were getting a little bit smaller and this is only brought about everyone that would have been out at the beginning. Federal agents were also sent to the neighboring state of washington. On saturday fighting broke out during protests in seattle doz
