Their abandoning demands for self rule. Im joining us now with the sports including a shutout a Major League Baseball fan now the Miami Marlins have Upcoming Games to his pint as the team battles occur in a Virus Outbreak. All countries and cities in asia are praised for effectively tackling the coronavirus pandemic are now raising alarms over new infections its just after chen 10 g. M. T. Were tracking the covert 1000. 00 hotspots around the world vietnam says every city in provinces now with the risk of an outbreak of to being virus free for months while hong kongs leaders also warning the city is on the verge of a large scale outbreak and the Hospital System is at risk of collapsing. I mean while a new report in india says more than half of the people in mumbais slums of had coronavirus about 40 percent of the citys population lives in shanties in the u. K. The governments under pressure for discharging thousands of patients from hospitals into care homes without testing them some m. P. s have called the decision reckless and appalling britain has also imposed a 2 week quarantine for people coming from spain as 8 records a resurgence in new cases and after months of lockdown chile has begun lifting restrictions in parts of its capital santiago but Health Experts there are warning about the risks of doing so well scott hylas monitoring the situation in vietnam and hes joining us now live from bangkok lets talk about this sudden surge scott do we know what has been causing this. Rob yes we can pretty much pinpoint at least where the main concern has come over the last say 24 hours and that we heard the warning from the Prime Minister there saying that every city every province is at risk now in vietnam thats because of last weekend denying is a resort town on the coast and what has been happening like a lot of nations that have have been Success Stories in 1000 pandemic and that is trying to spur the economy by telling citizens to travel internally Domestic Tourism and travel that will help spark the economy thats what they did in vietnam and thats where the 1st cases locally transmitted cases in 3 months took place last week and then and then you have tens of thousands of vietnamese citizens going back to their home cities and thats where theyre very concerned now that it could spread further and then weve seen some cases that have roots in denying and spread to other cities like hanoi and city those are the 2 largest cities in vietnam those are the big concerns and there are cases that can be traced to particularly in hanoi there was one where a gentleman worked at a pizza restaurant and he tested positive that was shut down the testing is going on there so thats a very big concern in vietnam but also when you look at other countries in the region like here in thailand they too have been encouraging their citizens to travel domestically to get you know these these slumping economy is at least a little bit and better shakes but obviously right now theyre looking at what happened in vietnam very cautiously rob. Nother Success Story of course had been hong kong but now were seeing kongs leader saying that there is a warning of another outbreak there what more do we know about that. Yes he said there on the verge of a potential outbreak and you know when you look at hong kong you look at how dense that city as you look at its border with china there are great concerns throughout this whole process this whole pandemic that there could very easily be a spike that could rapidly expand in hong kong but it really hadnt happened but this past week youve seen several days of over 100 locally transmitted cases and that really has the government there very concerned strictest measures put into place since this pandemic began face coverings are men dettori in any public situation as well as no more than 2 people can be can gather at once and then also theres no dine in restaurants those are pretty big restrictions when you look at hong kong you look at their history their success in these past couple of months so obviously very concerned that it could quickly get out of hand in hong kong other scott hardly talking to us from buying called lets get more on the reports into the release of patients to care homes for the elderly in the u. K. With rory chalons in london at 1st glance rory this does not look like good news for Boris Johnsons government again. Well this report is looking into a fairly broad parts of the governments coronavirus Pandemic Response its being put out by the Public Accounts Committee which is a cross party body which looks at effectiveness and spending in government this report is more about effectiveness than spending. It looks at various Different Things the this issue of the people being discharged just discharged from hospitals into care homes is one of the things that this report is most critical of let lets rewind back to kind of late march early april as the government was was getting the n. H. S. Ready for what was assumed to be a huge lot of coronavirus patients it was building new emergency hospitals and it was trying to free up as many beds as possible in the hospitals that already exist and what it did was order hospitals to basically discharge anyone who they considered medically fit some 25000 of these people were discharged straight from the hospital back into Retirement Homes care homes etc without being tested and the report says this was a reckless and negligent policy that this was an appalling error because the government been talking at the time about throwing a protective ring around cat homes while the chair of this this committee make hillier ive spoken to said that those sound like whole other words now because at the time it was basically sending people into those care homes without testing many of whom we dont know how many had coronavirus and subsequently there was a huge death toll in care homes and Retirement Homes that perhaps could have been avoided. Rory were seeing a certain amount of speculation certainly in the u. K. Media that britain may well be thinking about adding extra countries additional countries to its quarantine this now this does seem to be speculation of the moment can you give us some more details on that. Well yeah we dont know of any concrete details about which countries are going to be added to this list and when Boris Johnson the Prime Minister is warning people of such things likely and of course this is hugely confusing for brits who are planning to go abroad at the moment the decisions but spain back on the list over the weekend so many people by surprise and now everyones off in themselves well you know farm already abroad or im about to go abroad how do i know that the country i mean or about to go to is not going to be added to that list of the last minute the travel industry is screaming about a different approach to this youve got the boss of Heathrow Airport saying that they should have testing being done at horse people coming off planes so that you can avoid this 2 week quarantine there is another approach being suggested which is testing people a week after theyve called back so that perhaps they could be cuts in the hof youve got other recommendations such as you know lets not do this is a country by country blanket ban but be much much more specific so we can talk about regions of countries rather than whole countries themselves but yeah its another confusing aspects of britains approach to coronavirus rory thanks for that. In london or lets go to the situation in spain and well talk tomato whos there for us in barcelona lets talk about the u. K. Putting people traveling back from spain to the u. K. On a 2 week courting team list how is spain reacting to that. Well the Spanish Government led by banished from minister pierre that our son to have has begun come paining to brand spain as a save this the nation Prime Minister has been pushing the u. K. To reconsider the decision of imposing these 2 weeks quarantine to anyone travel from spain from all countries theyre trying to make clear that spain is a safe this to nation and all the active clusters are quite located and quite under control so this this position from the u. K. That joins a list of 150 countries that have already imposed restrictions and limitations to travelers to a country course a big impact a huge impact in the Spanish Society and especially in spanish economy Tourism Sector represents a 12 percent of all of us economy and the tourist traveling every year from from britain 80000000. 00 people so what they want to know what the next step for Spanish Government what theyre battling for right now is to keep out of this decision. To stall is that during the current a Virus Outbreak didnt didnt we just have these cases are probably 19 so the message from the Spanish Government is that there are certain areas in spain that are much safer that countries like the u. K. So much i understand that that is the government is obviously as you just mentioned saying that parts of the country are worse than the others but whats it like across spain give us an idea if you can of where the virus is spreading and i mean what the numbers are. Yes well the 3 main hotspots of the 2nd socalled 2nd wave of coronavirus all break right now on the region of iraq on the region of madrid and the region of catalonia where we are where we are based here today so much this week and. High number of new infections 501 in the past 24 hours it tripled the cases this is why the government the government has put measures in place that will be active will be gone today. Making the mandatory use off of mass theyre limiting the the gatherings up to 10 people close in terraces bars and nightclubs at 1 30 in the morning this might not seem very very unusual but you know that spain night live is also part of our economy so these limitations are very important for also for our economy there also have 3 opens the Field Hospital that was active during the coronaVirus Outbreak that was helping those supporting the health care services. They want to reopen just in case they need to send more patients there for what we are so far as we have seen the new people the infected than of coronaviruses the 2nd wave are john people are people between 18 and 40 years old the profile is completely different we have seen all these people are socializing im not im not taken seriously all this social distancing measures or monetary measures of the uselessness itself mask last night we went out with a group of young people we interviewed them we heard what their what their point of view was so lets hear what they told us yesterday. Relaxed a little has changed for the youth of birth and on arsons a crown of ours crisis despite 3 months of Strict Lockdown in c. T. The familiar with the return to deal social habits. Is 19 years old choose if you seem to follow the governments social distancing measures or wear a mask which is now monday atory in Public Places anyone. To see people going through right now in your stream and we dont know when they going to close everything again and yet its so much easier to strike close your eyes when you get to. The cut on government is trying the best to reach the junger generations in sending a clear message that. He would like to treat young people as citizens they are citizens like we are like we are all are so we all have their share on this so yes i mean maybe its a bit harder to get the message through them but i think that the only way to make them feel responsible correspond so well over the whole situation because they are historic bid this message infection rates are very high for those between 18 and 44 years old and the youth are now being blamed with fueling a socalled 2nd wave. President of the torah has described the situation as spiritual he has said that in the next 10 days the corner Virus Outbreak is not contained tougher measures will have to be put in place july is usually the peak month of the tourist season in catalonia but only 25 percent of the hotels are open and more and more is evasions are being canceled every day. Some restaurants will be open until september those trying to right out of the storm cant believe what they are witnessing afonso gomes has worked for 42 years as manager of this restaurant at the brothel on a very morning going on theres new tourism atoll markets and restaurants are empty its very sad to witness never in my life have i seen a situation like this and im 65 years old and the Spanish Government is facing an uphill task convincing the world that this is a safe destination and the cup 19 is on the control its going to be a tough and uncertain summer martha. Martha donna. In india Health Experts say theres been a sharp increase in the number of corona virus infections largely due to poor infrastructure in the 48000. 00 cases were reported on tuesday bringing the total number to more than 1500000 the regions of delhi maharashtra and the tamil nadu account for more than half the new cases it is the 3rd worst affected nation after the u. S. And brazil with more than 34000 deaths it is about forums in new delhi and explains why indias infection rates may be far higher than the official figures. The results are very much a reflection of what independent Health Experts have been saying for a long time now which is that because india is still not conducting enough tests it has one of the Lowest Per Capita testing in the world that the real number of infections in india are at least 10 times the reported number and possibly even up to 40 times while the official number for mumbai is around 100000 again its a fraction of the millions who. Says have antibodies and the surveys very much in line with the last one which was done in the capital new delhi with the results last week showed that a quarter of its 20000000 people have antibodies have had a virus and here in delhi the cases have been coming down the last few weeks bought yesterday on tuesday. To explain why its conducting hof the number of the most accurate. Tests that its capable of and conducting twice that number of tests which are as accurate so. That its coming down. To conduct more tests and to conduct more tests all over the country the Prime Minister promised in the. Retesting center. In mumbai not far from here in new delhi noida and also in kolkata to continue with this drive to test more people to have a more accurate picture of the situation in the country. Muslim pilgrimage to mecca. Has begun under very different circumstances this year millions usually travel to saudi arabia but for the 1st time in modern history worshippers from abroad are not allowed to take part no more than one. Expected to attend is the kingdoms 2nd biggest source of oil bringing in billions of dollars for. Public health. Central Queensland University in australia hes joining us now from sydney thank you very much indeed for giving us your time so obviously a big impact on such a significant event in the muslim calendar the highs but also were seeing these surges particularly at the moment around parts of asia is it too simplistic to put this these searches done simply to the reopening of economies i thank you for having me i think i think really did we go here is that i think. The government have relaxed that its took sons to early and it isnt being done because we have never actually flattened a cup of coffee in some countries some countries still struggling still picking up wheat with consisted of how do you reckon trees but even globally we have never flattened really full government food on to is that is texans i think those caused what we are seeing right now and you are right some countries of actual flatten that kind of like you know theres a pacific some countries are flattened but again we had with dick kisses still rising in that globally i think i think what we are seeing is pretty much as a result of that event if you flatten your car that doesnt mean that thats not in the virus because theres still going to be a kind of his audience and because we have seen in some countries like for example in australia we have in victoria because the size and so does that a 2nd wave right there so thats the reason that were seeing that is that the government have relaxed their districts and still early as a medical researcher and a lecturer on how concerned are you that were seeing science being defeated by populist politics. Look i think i think i think does decide as part of it isnt it because because seriously that is a tough time hits. And unfortunately politics got into the way of Public Health and and here we are in a very tough and difficult situation and that is when politics sometime tend to have our rights. Placed on the Public Health and we see is like that and i think thats thats why its very important to to to put politics aside to put politics aside really full Global Community to come together and approach this outbreak despond that me. As a Global Community so that we can defeat this we need our life back we need our life back but unless we put away politics we going to going to know having this and i think does this is to. Really prepare for how concerned are you as a scientist that this is setting a precedent that we are going to see more and more on different occasions different subjects that scientists are essentially pushed to one side by politics because politicians have been able to achieve that on this occasion with the results that were now seeing. Yeah yeah look i think i think i th
