Infalling kenya. Thousands of would have been making the annual migration tourists to see them ill be telling you why. The sports news is yet another Major League Baseball team is hit by coronavirus. d basketball returns with social justice high on its agenda well hear from Le Bron James i said this hour. So there now once in a century crisis is how the head of the World Health Organization is now describing the coronavirus pandemic and to underline that the world has just hit another record for new daily infections thats close to 300000. 00 in the United StatesHealth Officials will question for hours by congress over the response to the virus the countrys top Infectious Disease expert says that he is now hopeful of a vaccine by early next year and for the 4th day in a row the state of florida has set a record for daily coronavirus related deaths. 257. 00 people dying in the last 24 hours alone and in the u. K. Restrictions are being reimposed in parts of Northern England after a new spike scotland is even more and its citizens not to travel to parts of the country unless absolutely necessary but lets begin in the u. S. Capitol where mike hanna has been following that hearing so this subcommittee has been investigating the administrations response to the current virus and what answers have they been getting. Well the intention of the subcommittee as outlined by the democratic chair was to establish a National Program based on science rather than politics but the way the hearing went to largely was a illustration of exactly how political divide within the United States is in packaging negatively on the fight against the spread of the virus very clearly from the democratic side there was probing questions in terms of indicating how the Trump Administration had failed in terms of its response to the virus from the republican side game pointed questions as to the impact for example of mass protests on the spread of the virus singling out at one stage Infectious Disease expert dr anthony you also had the president tweeting real time during the Commission Hearings after the Committee Chair had shown a graft indicating the radical difference between the spread of the infection in europe and in the United States president tran saying that this occurs because there is much more testing in the United States than in other countries however dr Anthony Party himself not agreeing with this pointing out that the difference in these infection rates stand from an initial reaction saying that europe cut down by some 95 percent or shut down by some 95 percent whereas the u. S. Shut down by some 50 percent dr also pointing out that many stay. Its reopened before reaching in the guidelines outlined by organizations like the c. D. C. And this accounted for the ongoing spike so there wasnt much solid information that came out but underlying everything was this immense political dispute that continues right now some potentially good news actually cautiously optimistic about a potential vaccine. The word cautious is very strong there but dr poetry outlined 3 different programs 3 different platforms that are busy researching vaccine they are collaborating on data they are collaborating on results and at least one of them says dr chee showed very very promising signs after the 1st and 2nd phase trials that vaccine is now going into a 3rd phase trial which will involve some 30000 people and dr fox indicating that there is some hope in terms of getting a vaccine out of this particular trial this is what he had to say. The response that was induced was really quite favorable and as ive said often and are repeated for the record now theres never a guarantee that youre going to get a safe and effective vaccine but from everything weve seen now in the animal data as well as the early human data we feel cautiously optimistic that we will have a vaccine by the end of this year and as we go into 2021. But some reasons not to be optimistic there was confirmation from Health Experts that the rate of testing is slower than it should be that the rate of returns from these tests sometimes takes between 3. 00 to 5. 00 days and sometimes as much as 15 days these are details that remain of great concern as the virus continues to spike in many parts of the United States or a mike thanks very. Mike hanna reporting there from washington d. C. Lets take this on about the vaccine or we can speak to one. Whos in new york and shes a professor of epidemiology and medicine at the Columbia University professor welcome to the program and so dr fox you know saying that we could have a vaccine by the end of the year or early 2021 is that realistic do you think i think you know we are all cautiously optimistic that we might have a vaccine available by that time line i think and in were encouraged and im particularly encouraged by the results the early results from several of the vaccines there are now under development that seem to be on moving in a positive direction and with that these of development and these studies there are being initiated now at around the world and around the country and i think that we are hopeful that if these studies are completed on time and that if any of these vaccines are shown to be safe and effective that we might have something in hand by the end of this year and the beginning of next year when you say in hand that doesnt mean available for the world at large does it because they will still be a huge process to to make it available to be rolled out is that right. Well i think whats unique about the Development Process for vaccines for a girl that is actually at the same time simultaneously were the studies are going on in the field of the manufacturing is actually also happening at the same time and i think through this new approach of overlapping the phases of development and manufacture of the next he hopefully that will mean then be a short period between and knowing that the vaccine works and is safe and actually having inevitable to be distributed to the people who need the vaccine so its confusing for the layman like me because you hear and see and read all sorts of different stories about the vaccine from all sorts of different sources some good sources to a lot of those saying that we might never get a vaccine. I think in there and there is there is reason for optimism because vaccines for these kinds of this kind of virus this family of viruses have been developed previously so thats the reason for optimism i think also theres reason for optimism because the early findings in animals as well as the early safety studies in humans have shown that was some of these vaccines were able to induce the in human response against the virus so i think if you take all of these pieces of evidence together i think thats why many of us are optimistic i do think though that we should be planning now for the vaccine i think we should be working with different communities and party lesions around the world to disseminate the information about the back the potential vaccine to hopefully generate the interest as well as also the trust in that the vaccine that will be available robbi distributed across the exact girl and i is going to say because the next thing when we do get a vaccine is actually convincing everybody to take it because not everybody will want to. And i think its there we should we should be starting to work now the time is now to work and try to build their trust and we have to disseminate the right information we have to get people to appreciate the studies of what has been done in why there are safety studies and are valuable and why its very important to be willing to take the vaccine to protect oneself and austin to protect others in the community so theyre trying to work on this kind of work is and to generate the trust is now we cant wait to we have the vaccine in hand to start thinking about how were going to gain the trust of the communities around the world the professor also that its just great to get your perspective on this we do appreciate it thanks very much on the potentially good news thank you. But millions of americans out of work in the wake of the pandemic could be set for a new hardship a 600. 00 a week jobless benefit has ended and attempts to agree on a new federal relief fund well theyve stalled lets get more from our White House CorrespondentKimberly Harkat and carol yes these checks end today so what happens next. Well the negotiations continue but that is not much comfort to the millions of americans that are facing the prospect of were going to how theyre going to pay their bills being out of work cases of coronavirus are rising in the United States also jobless claims rising but these checks are ending now in the midst of all of this the negotiations do continue republicans say that they offered some legislation that would at least give kind of a stopgap measure until both sides could be worked a the greenman out but they say that democrats didnt want to do that democrats say we have a solution to this 2 months ago and republicans were the ones that didnt take this legislation up so way you can see is theres a lot of finger pointing going on very little in terms of results now some of the big sticking points team to be over how much money americans should get per week moving forward democrats say lets keep the 600. 00 a week in place republicans say you know the big price tag what we would like to see instead is 200. 00 a week until september after that you get 70 percent of your previous wages so again this is something that has to be worked out nancy pelosi the House Speaker had a dueling press conference with the white house she struck a slightly more optimistic tone saying she thinks that there is going to be agreement but its going to take a little bit longer why is that significant will today was supposed to be the day they started their month long recess now when that will happen is kind of in doubt because they say theyre going to try and work on this and resolve something to help americans get through this crisis. The white house and use the president has been defending his proposal that the election be postponed. Yeah he seems to be doing a little bit of clean up on his comments you know one day after he suggested that the election should be delayed now he seems to be saying what i really meant was the results should be delayed or that i expect the results of the us election in november will be delayed it to be clear the us president does not have the power to delayed election its something that even members of his own party oppose and for that reason that may be why hes now saying that he has got some doubt about when the results of the november president ial election will be released take a listen you watch theyre not going to announce anything on november 3rd but i could go now to the 4th or the 5th of the 6 itll go on forever people should go you know they voted back during world war one they voted during world war 2 they went to the polls they voted they went to the booth and they voted proudly but now with a covert they dont want to vote stuff they dont want to vote. This will be catastrophic for our nation and youll see it im always right about things like this i guess i must be well i wouldnt be sitting here what many are suggesting the president is doing here is laying the groundwork to discredit the results of the u. S. Election he certainly admitted that in 2016 he may not accept the results and hes suggested that yet again for 2020 this leaves Many Americans nervous wondering about the future of a long held tradition in the United States and that is the peaceful transfer of power he up carefully or at thanks very much indeed can we hope that reporting from washington d. C. So to the u. K. And the british Prime Minister is holding off on plans to ease grain of rice restrictions because of a rise in infections for the 1st time since may the surge has prompted the government to reimpose measures in Northern England you know hole is there and joins us from oldham near manchester and. Downs new measures announced by the pm to what extent did these reflect concerns about a 2nd wave about to hit. I mean i think those concerns have been bubbling away for the last week or 2 would least certainly this reflects those concerns that a new wave may be on its way to britain hot on the heels of big spikes in infection rates across the channel in places like france and spain Boris Johnson gave a press conference a little earlier standing beside the chief medical officer in which they talked about the delicate balance between reopening the economy while trying to keep infection rates stable for ling and the fear that if those infection rates were to turn the other way and begin to rise they would immediately have to put the brakes on that economic reopening and this seems to be that moment so new measures announced expanded mandatory mosque wearing measures the Prime Minister called a halt to further easing of lockdown restrictions that were due to come in on saturday there are these localized restrictions that are being put in place up here in the north of england where i am around the Greater Manchester area east lancashire parts of East Lancaster parts of West Yorkshire leicester and so on in particular affecting a large muslim populations here among the 4000000 people affected as they prepare to celebrate this weekend so those communities are very unhappy that the Prime Minister when he spoke earlier noted his concern for affected communities but he warned we cannot be complacent we have to act rapidly. How are people taking the new restrictions in the parts of Northern England where you are right now. Were not well as i mentioned there we spent the day in muslim communities here in oldham where theres a very clear sense of frustration quite some shock at these measures that were only announced at 10 pm last night 2 hours before they were due to come in at midnight it was a rather chaotic announcement by the government on twitter in essence what they mean here is that households cant mix any longer under the same roof or even in private gardens that has a deep effect on communities here there are large populations of black asian and minority ethnic groups here many live in multigenerational homes and for those muslim communities in particular with the this weekend what would they ordinarily be doing well theyd be sharing big tables of food theyd be eating together meeting in households and private gardens that effectively that traditional celebration of the festival is now banned theres a great very tangible level of frustration even anger and a lot of calls of double standards here because while they cant celebrate their religious festival they point to the busy pubs where people can go on drinking and the busy beaches where people are flocking to enjoy the warm weather indeed for a generally gentle.
