And i found the how much not have all the sport is an act then Pro Wrestling star and now an American Football League oh no. The access together with an Investment Firm for 15000000. 00. We begin this hour with a stark warning from the World Health Organization as the rush to find a corona virus vaccine intensifies while the w. H. O. Is applauding the efforts of more than 140. 00 Research Teams around the world it says that people should not pin their hopes on the discovery of an effective vaccine and stresses the basic prevention measures remain crucial. We also hope to have a number of effective vaccines that can help prevent people from infection however there is no Silver Bullet at the moment and then might never be for now stopping outbreaks comes down to the basics of Public Health and Disease Control testing isolating and treating patients and tracy and quarantining their contacts do it on inform empowered and listen to communities do it all for individuals its about keeping physical distance wearing a mask cleaning hands regularly and coughing safely away from others do eat all will have call for Global Solidarity came with an extra warning for countries with high transmission rates including brazil and india the World Health Organization saying that they face a long battle to find a way out of the pandemic what else is a professor of epidemiology in medicine at columbia universitys Melbourne School of Public Health she says the w. H. O. Is message is timely. I think the warning from the director general is is a wise move at this point in time as the as think we want to do is to have people be complacent let go of all the preventive measures that they need to be practicing in the hope of having a vaccine down the line this will be a big mistake which we need to do is to continue to lead double our efforts to do what needs to be done now rather than let go of those measures and hope for a vaccine in the future i would take an optimistic stand then i would say even if we find an effective and safe exene and this does not mean that everyone will get the vaccine immediately and we have to start planning today our Public Health systems have to start planning now for the availability of such a vaccine so we can prepare communities b. Can prepare people so that they are willing to get the vaccine because it does not help to have an effective and safe sex scene sitting on shall we have to get to the vaccine to the largest numbers of people around the world as quickly as possible their case government says that its running out tests for the coronavirus the can provide a result within 90 minutes millions of these are to be sent to hospitals care homes or trees as early as next week some Health Experts though a voiced concern over how reliable the new tests will be a Persons Health minister says that swift testing could help to make the country safer. These technologies which deliver these rapid turnaround tests world mean that we can expand Testing Capacity further and into settings where for instance in schools we have a currently we have survey testing so we have some testing that would be able to be expanded but also looking at looking across the community where we want to test people who dont have symptoms to find out where the virus is aljazeera go is live for us in london so here tell us more about these new rapid covert 19 tests. Well later in the potentially a game changer in terms of how effective the government can be in isolating tracking inch and testing any new searches of corona virus infections around the country and it stems really down to the fact that rather than having to send off your results and get the results within 1. 00 to 2. 00 days youre literally going to get it in an hour and a half and that really you know it could sort of have all sorts of possibilities for being able to sort of send about people who are thought to be asymptomatic at all you could it could mean possible changes for people trying to get back to work if they can be tested and mass testing for that and also for sporting events as well so really its quite crucial nava have been questions surrounding the efficacy of this how how effective is it the companies behind the testing kit say that they have controls in place to make sure that they dont have any false negative readings that come out of that in place but the scottish 1st minister nicholas sturgeon said that she cautiously welcomed them saying that they would be looking at them critically to see how well they would be doing but all in all really could really are sure in a new era of mass testing across the country and with that hope having to get a more tactical sort of look at how one does continue still lockdowns in future to contain any infections and how targeted you can make them which is something of concern to the government as it struggles not to want to go into another national lot of something that a lot of governments do not want to do again but to make this absolutely efficient and absolute targeted so normal life as it were. All the new normal could go back speaking of normal life this time of the year of course many brits would be on holiday in portugal not this year though new figures from that country preaching a bleak picture for tourism in portugal. Yes extremely bleak picture for the country especially as portugal had complained quite loudly that it hadnt been put on the list of countries with which british tourists could go to someone hadnt been really a problem but if you compare the numbers this year to last year theres been a 96 percent decrease in visitors going to portugal that british visit was just from germany from neighboring spain as well which is an absolute disaster for the country when you consider that tourism in itself represents about 15 percent of its g. D. P. Now with this and by and portugal of course is not the only country other countries surrounding the mediterranean where many travelers go to at this time of year across the continent and beyond theyre all really suffering the effects of this particularly spain as well as the cautious amounts of warnings that have been from other governments as well because of the spikes especially in the regions of catalonia and are gone but for portugal which has made a huge effort in really gearing up its tourism trade this is nothing short of a disaster for its economy and even though the government has said they hope to try and recruit some of those losses sometime next year in reality it will be a few years until its able to get those numbers back again as it was before the pandemic adrian deserves some youre going to go reporting live from london something many thanks dude. The philippines has reported more than 3200. 00 new corona virus infections pushing it close to overtaking indonesia as the worst hit country in Southeast Asia tough restrictions are already being reimposed in and around manila after infections jumped to more than 100000 after serious challenge dogon reports over Health Care Workers be leaving early. As we take care of patients a distress call with a clear message thousands of Filipino Health workers are appealing to the government to impose tighter controls saying the country is losing the fight against the coronavirus. Theyre going to hold it hold the line for much longer Health Care Workers should not bear the burden of the saving lives in the days of the sea understand. It is what they really are. More than 5000 new infections were recorded on sunday the largest single to increase since the 1st case was recorded months ago the number of recorded cases is now over 100000 the 2nd highest number of Coronavirus Infections in Southeast Asia after indonesia. The philippines government has already implemented one of the most stringent lockdowns in the world more than 50000000 people were forced to stay at home in the entire region of luzon for more than 2 months it began easing restrictions in march hoping to soften the impact of the countrys economy now in one of its worst periods of recession in recent years millions of filipinos have lost their jobs since the pandemic broke out. I fully understand why your Health Workers would like to ask for such a 3 month period they have been in front lines for months and theyre exhausted next time you can ask for on the weekends. And ask for a revolution if you want that evolution no lets kill all those with gold that that means metro manila and some nearby provinces will face further measures not a lockdown at least for now critics say over the months long so its all locked down how slow down corona virus infections it was also a missed opportunity they see the government be able to conduct widespread tests there would that we have seen hotspots early on that the government should also start to reassess its priorities in the coming months the country has long struggled with an adequate resources and Health Experts are warning that this pandemic may bring the Public Health system closer to collapse.

S. President dollars from speaking from the cabinet room in the last couple of hours talked about where he sees the sticking points he says thats the issue of the price tag of this bailout essentially he believes that what democrats are asking for goes too far that theyre asking for money for state and local governments in his view many that he believes have been mismanaged and are looking at this coronavirus aid relief as a way to prop up governments that he says have been financially mismanaged including portland and chicago which we should point out are democrat run now as the democrats for their part say that they had a package 2 months ago and republicans took too long to discuss it so the 2 sides really are doing a lot of talking nobody is doing any listening and the timelines of problem as you mentioned the 6 100. 00 paychecks have expired and theres nothing in the works to replace it as of right now with just about 3 months now until polling day what does the president have to say about all of this.

S. President is blaming the media for the coverage is also in this one tweet blaming the tustin the reason the numbers are high he says is because of big testing then he also says open the schools which is something that Many Americans dont want in fact there has been some pushback on twitter with regard to that at one point the president s son barons name was tweeting the essence of the messages from so Many Americans was if you want to open the schools you send your kid to school we dont really want to do that do the same White House Correspondent kimberly how could reporting live from washington can believe any thanks drew.

Withdrew thousands of its troops it said that the taliban had also agreed to a reduction of violence the taliban said no absolutely not weve only agreed not to attack u. S. Forces and not to attack him in major cities in bases now sits and the taliban have really been probing to see how much violence they can get away with without drawing the us military back into the war and we know that both the taliban and the government have been under claiming attacks whereas before they would probably be exaggerating what they were doing on the battlefield now theyre then theyre not claiming so many so its actually quite difficult to read who is responsible for what anymore and weve also had an a surge an unclaimed attacks or attacks that are difficult to pin down lebanons foreign minister has resigned saying that the country is at risk of turning into a failed state.
