There is a war and to see this. At all south africa has past half a 1000000 corona virus infections but has yet to reach its peak the Health Minister and else more than 10000 new cases on saturday africas most industrialized nation accounts for more than half of all reported infections on the continent with its population of 58000000 it has the 5th highest number of infections globally behind the United States brazil russia and india experts are saying that it could reach its peak early next month. Or for me to miller is in johannesburg joins us now in half a 1000000 cases and this is this is a significant milestone as net for south africa. And i think for many in south africa it is quite frightening given that the country has been under some level of lockdown for more than 4 months now while some of the restrictions have eased. Things really arent havent returned to normal at all and its quite concerning to see that number rise now the government also released a statement the president says specifically not long after the announcement of half a 1000000 cases a saying that things are bad but not that bad it says that the lockdown has helped to delay the increase in cases of the last few months giving the government time to prepare Public Health facilities and its relied on these Public Health facilities to help people in this country who have been infected by the virus but theres also been concern that in provinces like the eastern cape specifically the presidency has also acknowledged that that province its Health FacilitiesPublic Hospitals have been overwhelmed in the rest of the country in the provinces like the western cape the government has said that it appears as if the number of infections has plateaued and now theres a lot of concentration a lot of focus on other places like cutting where we are as well as natal they say that they have increased capacity in Public Hospitals theyve also theyve also established a number of field hospitals across the country but in recent media reports its also been observed that many of these field hospitals for example are whats been called White Elephants while the field hospitals have been set up they are beds they may not be enough staff or they may not be enough oxygen available should the need arise the government has said that a new ventilation project will distribute at least 20000 ventilators in the coming months so this is the kind of miss it. The governments trying to put out in that we are on top of things to the best of our ability but at the end of the day we do continue to see a rise in cases across of africa right now its not just about their ability to cope its also about testing isnt it because experts are saying that the truth the truth the true toll of the coronavirus is likely to be much higher because of the lack of testing are we seeing a rapid rise in cases elsewhere on the continent. Well in south africa specifically about 3000000 tests have been have been conducted and if you compare whats happening in south africa to the rest of the counted continent you know the this of africa has done pretty well comparatively speaking in a country like whats one of just north of south africa theyve been reports of 140 cases of the coronavirus and for a population of about 2000000 people that is serious for puts one up because theyre worried about the spread of the disease there but again as you say concern around the testing capability many countries rely on south africa for testing in the months previously weve seen tests being sent to south africa for for them to be verified and of course by the time the test results get back to the country of origin some time has passed and then theres concern around spreads and so south africa is is leading that race in terms of testing but in a country like zimbabwe theyve been 3000 cases reduced and so far and that is a country with this concern again about the number of tests that have been done and if there is an accurate number being reported and even in south africa well so africa has about is the 5th highest in the world with regard to the number of infections its 36. 00 in the world with regard to the number of deaths about 8000 and even then theres concern about accurate reporting around that so i think across the continent concern about the accuracy of numbers thank you from johannesburg for me to meller. Well in other developments russia is racing to become the worlds 1st producer of a corona virus vaccine with a mass Immunization Program planned for october russias Health Minister says Clinical Trials of the vaccine have been completed the plan is to vaccinate doctors and teachers 1st but some critics are worried that russia could be fast tracking the process in an attempt to portray itself as a leader in medicine and science the u. S. Says it should have a vaccine itself ready by the end of the year or early next year. Meanwhile negotiations for a u. S. Coronavirus relief package have finished for the day democratic senator judd schumer says they were more productive than previous discussions but hes also warned that congressional leaders in the white house a still not yet close to a deal the primary focus of the talks is the 600. 00 a week enhanced payment for people who qualify for Unemployment Benefits cheering the pandemic that scheme ended on friday the money seen as a vital safety net protecting people from hunger and evictions the white house offered to continue making the payments for a further week but House Speaker nancy pelosi says a short Term Extension only makes sense if a deal was close the democrats want a long term commitment old are now about 30000000 Unemployed People in the u. S. Or about 20 percent of the working population roughly a more than 1400000 new people registered for Unemployment Benefits thats the 19th consecutive week that number has topped a 1000000 rosen jordan has more on this now from northern virginia. The paychecks coming from us state governments unemployment offices have been dispersed there wont be checks coming in the coming week or several weeks depending on how long it takes for Congressional Democrats and republicans to negotiate this deal this is of course a situation that has people very concerned this is the speaker of the house nancy pelosi who convened a saturday meeting in her offices on capitol hill what were doing is not only trying to arrest the virus but by to invest in the economy as we help him and his stamp of working families so she day was productive in terms of moving us forward as the leader said with. Theirs and ours to have some clarity in some of the issues and well meet again on monday well when youre talking about trying to enact a bill that would add about a trillion dollars which is what the republicans want to do versus passing a bill that would spend 3 trillion dollars which is what the democrats want to do youre going to have a lot of disagreement there are also components in both bills that the other side does not like and those issues have to be negotiated certainly one thing that many Congressional Democrats and a few Congressional Republicans dont like is a proposal to basically give Companies Immunity from lawsuits by their employees if they get sick while theyre on the job could Senate Republican leadership says this is absolutely crucial in order to try to get businesses back up and running but Congressional Democrats and a few republicans say thats a nonstarter that this should not be anywhere near a bill that is really supposed to make certain that people are being able to pay their rent or their mortgage being able to buy food being able to buy medicine and being able to pay their bills. Protests as a back out on the streets of israel demanding Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu resign theyve been gathering for weeks on the governments handling of the quote a Virus Outbreak demonstrations have been further fueled by Corruption Case against the Prime Minister netanyahu stood trial in a bribery fraud in breach of trust all of which he tonight are a force that has more on this now from west jerusalem. This is now 3 weeks of really large protests with were meant to behind them these are seen as the largest scenes of civil unrest that weve seen in israel for nearly a decade and as you say its a mixture of motivations and groups some of them protesting against that you know for years over his Corruption Cases he is currently on trial that child due to start in earnest at the beginning of next year with witnesses being called 3 times a week but theyve been joined and their movement has been buttressed by the fact that israel is laboring under the 2nd wave of coronavirus the Economic Impact and fallout of that is being seen as not being properly assuaged by government policy they are trying to do that but there are people that ive been speaking to tonight even saying things like you know that there be people being asleep and theyre waking up against this Prime Minister that the coronavirus has been a slap in the face for the country and that is what is providing these protests with their momentum has finesse and you know he says that this is leftist this is an occasion sore on the streets theyve been calling for the police to to ensure that this doesnt get out of hand there had also been talk recently or least in the last few weeks about a potential. Exploding of his rather fractious coalition with his former rival benny gantz and going to a 4th round of elections well if his numbers continue to be damaged by this protest and the effect theyve been having and his group of ours policy has been having on his popularity in the polls or not makes that look less likely so it could be that he has to a verts elections in the short term and then we wait to see whether the transition deal where he hands over power to benny gantz next year actually happens.
