The battle of nagornokarabakh rages on despite the u. S. Ground and russia stepping up ceasefire efforts. Thanks. The world has seen a record one day jump in global coronavirus cases the World Health Organization has reported more than 338000 infections in 24 hours in 5 and a half 1000 deaths this is warnings a sounded about rising cases across europe france reported more than 18000. 00 new cases it was announced that 4 major cities including paris and must say will be added to the maximum level in the u. K. Where cases rose by more than 17 and a half 1000 the government says its considering a range of measures for Northern England for the 1st time since april portugal has recorded more than a 1000 new cases and italy more than 4000 and potent Prime Minister says hes says Wearing Masks outside will be compulsory across the country even germany a country still seen as exemplary for controlling the spread of the virus has seen a sharp jump in cases dominic kane reports from berlin. This is the reality of covidien ukraine another life claimed by a virus whose 2nd wave is now sweeping across europe here in the town of stepanek a hospital designed for 100 people now has 106 corona patients alone. We are catastrophic li short of doctors the pressure is incredible and the Infectious Department we have one doctor per 47. 00 patients. Around the continent the number of new infections is surging austria has announced its highest daily figures so far in poland 2 unprecedented numbers of people are testing positive for the virus prompting the government to say it will introduce a general mask rule for all people outdoors and perhaps impose a state of emergency elsewhere as here in belgium the spike in cases has forced ministers to say no more than 4 people will be allowed to meet together in public but in spain the rate of new infections has slowed in recent days and a partial lockdown for the capital has been thrown out by a madrid court which said it infringed peoples fundamental freedoms whilst in germany a surge in cases is causing deep concern at the highest levels already up to. The Current Situation worries me a lot we dont know how things will develop over the next few weeks its possible that we will see more than 10000 cases a day its possible that the virus spreads uncontrollably in the german capital Officials Say that Testing Capacity has reached 95 percent with little scope for greater testing if numbers continue to climb. One of the measures being suggested the full season already in place here in the socalled triple traffic light Warning System where 3 different poses criteria one assumes the number of intensive care beds occupied by corona patients the awful reproductive rate of the virus and the number of info. Sections per 100000 residents for the moment the federal government believes its existing measures are enough. Germany so far managed this crisis well when you look at the map of europe youll see until now germany is a solid rock in this pandemic but we are seeing rising numbers across europe so far theres no suggestion of another National Lockdown politicians are perhaps fearful of the damage such a step would wreak on an already suffering economy and they know there are many people here who believe the existing measures are too strong dominic kane aljazeera berlin well for more on this rory chalons joins us live from westminster thank you for joining us for a jump in new cases in the u. K. What is the government voting to do to get on top of this. Well like in germany is dominic was just talking about the government in the u. K. Is very keen to avoid another national law down here it would be crippling for an economy that is already being battered by previous coronavirus measures and breaks it as well so what theyre doing is looking at various localised measures we have had a huge jump in the number of positive corona cases on thursday up 3000 to 17 and a half 1000 and were not yet in the kind of same dark period that we were back in april where hundreds and hundreds of people were dying every day at the moments the death toll is about 7077 deaths recorded on on thursday but to try and avoid getting back to the high death tolls that we saw earlier in the year the government is trying to bring in localised measures as i was saying so the north of england is expecting to have bars and restaurants shots across large parts of it as of next week and more measures are going to be coming in to other parts of the country as well we dont yet know quite what they are perhaps things like a ban on overnight stays away from home the government is looking into this and will be announcing things in the next few days but there are calls from not just the opposition parties but also within the governing conservative party for things to be spelled out a bit clearer than this we had say andy burnham whos the hes the mayor of Greater Manchester saying that its fully found out that hes city manager would have to close bars and restaurants from reading in there the Times Newspaper despite the fact that hed had meetings with government ministers several times this week and then mentioned anything about it to him then so the criticism of the government of the moment about what these measures are and how the communication is being addled. And what about france then numbers are also going in the wrong direction whats their approach here with the daily numbers at the moment in france are higher than they are in the u. K. For the 2nd day running they being over 18000 new coronavirus cases so again like in the u. K. Like in germany the measures that the government to taking are more localized ones so on thursday we have the legal grenoble leones santos again they move to the maximum level of coded alerts in the maximum restriction level as well at the moment they join paris marsay in that in the overseas territory of quite a leap what that basically means is that the bars are closed and there are increased restrictions for restaurants in those places to lose a moment pelly a close watch list and will perhaps find out on monday whether they will be joining the places ive already mentioned in the highest level but clearly what this all spells out is that this 2nd wave of covert 19 is really starting to pick up across that pretty much the whole continent of europe chalons life in westminster thank you for that update and billions in the in raining capital struggling to find available hospital beds for virus patients the country reported a record high of more than 4300 new infections on thursday and 230 more deaths descriptions are being tightened across the country including mandatory face mask orders in the capital tehran schools libraries mosque mosques and other Public Institutions i think closed for a week. Youll be you. There questioned over how or even if donald trump and joe biden will debate each other again before next months election the president refused to participate in next weeks head to head off to the organizers said it would be held virtually unknown in person his challenger joe biden says the debate should be delayed by week and held in person something the Trump Campaign has agreed to but that was on the condition the 3rd debate be held in the week before the poll something bidens team has rejected initial moves down to concerns that the president could still be contagious after catching coronavirus fire that the commission a little while ago changed the debate style and thats not acceptable to be easily in the 1st debate courting to the polls that ive seen but i beat him easily that i felt id beat them easily i think he felt that too you know im not going to waste my time in a virtual debate thats not what debating so all about you sit behind a computer and do a debate ridiculous and then they cut you off whenever they want and we can go live to the white house where our correspondent can be how kate is and is ready for us to be theres been lots of debate about the debate bring us up to speed. Yeah this really set the president off when he learned that the commission on president ial debates and arbitrarily decided that it was going to have the next debate be virtual donald trump was angry about this is you heard with reaction was that he called joe biden his democratic president ial challenger pathetic accusing him essentially of being afraid to be in the same room with him given the fact that the president is still recovering from kobe 1000 as a result he said thats it im not participating and i hold a rally instead well this resulted in the Biting Campaign saying ok lets go with that im going to have a town hall on the date of the. Debate when it was supposed to be held which is october 15th in miami instead im going to have a town hall and you can go off and do your rally and lets push this debate off until the 22nd. This will give you a chance to recover and also the statement from the campaign was is that it didnt want trying to evade accountability as they called it that really push the buttons of the trim campaign they said yeah were going to do that 22nd debate and were also to have a 3rd one on the 29th because we want to talk about the failed record of 47 years of joe biden that made the binding campaign angry and said you dont get to control the calendar were only doing one debate its happening on the 22nd and thats where everything has settled down so now what we know is were not looking ahead to 2 debates well have one more thank goodness i think and bottom line is going to be a little bit more subdued we hope than the last one because it is going to be kind of a town hall style and hopefully the moderator will have a better control of the candidates this time because the 1st president ial debate not so much yes it wasnt very civil the Vice President ial debate on the other hand was a lot more civil but today trump was insulting comment horace calling her a monster. Yeah yeah not exactly civil right ok so donald trump kind of has a history of doing this sort of thing particularly when it comes to women we saw this in 2016 when he called Hillary Clinton nasty he certainly has names for all of his opponents but he seems to go pretty hard particularly on women many allege that this is sexist language why did he call or a monster well he was referring to what is a legitimate criticism of kummel harris in the Vice President ial debate is her flip flopping on a very key issue to many in the United States that the issue of fracking of sort of i dont want to go into the process but taking natural gas out of the ground and she has said that this is something that she was vehemently opposed to then last night of the day she was no i never said that but she did so donald trump was calling her on that thats fine except the name calling which many people dont like particularly female voters who donald trump is already having trouble with and we should point out this is not a good move considering female voters really like come on harris feel she has energized the democratic ticket so this one could blow back on the president White House Correspondent kimberly haokip thank you for that. The house of representatives speak a democrat nancy pelosi has given her reaction to trumps interview on fox business and again called into question the president s response to the coronavirus and the plan isnt for the president to say that hes a perfect physical for. Us amended it best him and maybe i can agree with that and young it was young. Disassociation from reality would be funny if it werent so deadly. Still to come this half hour. President trump and i trust the American People to know what. Science doesnt know cross was over the coronavirus is the u. S. Vice president ial nominees hold the debate. Around foreign minister accuses the u. S. Of aiming to blow up his countrys remaining tunnels to pay for food and medicine but it is the latest.

Us Vice President mike pence and his democratic rival common to harris have squared off over the challenges facing the nation including the pandemic economy and Global Warming but its rebels reports from Salt Lake City was a more Civil Affairs than the 1st debate senator harrison Vice President pence thank you for being here the sharp exchanges over the trumpet ministrations handling of the coronavirus pandemic started the debate whatever the Vice President is claiming the administration has done clearly it hasnt worked. When youre looking at over 210000 dead bodies in our country american lives that have been lost families that are grieving that loss and you know the Vice President is the head of the task force but when you see what the American People have done over these last 8 months hasnt worked. Thats a great disservice to the sacrifices the American People of maine so lets talk about caring about the American People the American People have to sacrifice far too much because of the incompetence of this administration pince dodged a question about the rose garden ceremony that became a super spreader event it was an outdoor event which all of our scientists regularly and routinely advise the difference here is President Trump and i trust the American People to make choices in the best interest of their health care is fired back lets talk about respecting the American People you respect the American People when you tell them the truth but look senator harris youre youre trying to do your own opinion but the candidates clashed over the economy taxes and sharply over Global Warming which harris called an existential threat we have seen a pattern with this administration which is they dont believe in finance and joes plan is about saying were going to deal with it but were also going to create jobs donald trump when asked about the wildfires in california and the question was you know the science is telling us this you know adama from set science doesnt know we dont need a massive 2 trillion dollar Green New Deal that would impose all new mandates on american businesses and American Families there were flashes reminiscent of the chaotic trump biden debate as parents repeatedly interrupted and talked over harris but she remained calm mr Vice President speaking if you dont mind letting me finish we can have a conversation ok please ok senator harris other issues discussed included Racial Justice policing reform and the rise of White Supremacists i want everyone to know who puts on the uniform of Law Enforcement every day President Trump and i stand with you and the reality of this is that we are talking about an election in 27 days where last week the president of the United States took a deep.
