The governor of michigan points a finger at the president to 6 people and charged with plotting to kidnap. The world has seen a record one day jump in global coronavirus cases the World Health Organization has reported more than 333338000 infections in 24 hours and 5 and a half 1000 deaths they says warnings a sounded about rising cases across europe as france reported more than 18000. 00 new cases it was announced that 4 major french cities will join paris and must say that 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 from Northern England for the 1st time since april portugal has recorded more than a 1000 new cases and italy more than 300000 potence Prime Minister 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 of the uk to illicit drugs and. 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 their 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 locked down 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 dominant cane aljazeera berlin Northern England is bearing the brunt of the u. K. 2nd wave of corona virus infections major cities including leeds and manchester have seen clusters not helped by this bright virus spreading through universities and hospitals are feeling the pressure again as admissions rise is that the government in london to threaten tighter local measures but leaders in the north have their own ideas and a whole reports from older and greater than just. Street by street door to door this is what it takes to contain an outbreak it is this thing around us in this particular area with that team of testers with us these are mainly unpaid volunteers working with the council in oldham Greater Manchester an area turning the tide on rising covert infection rates while the rest of manchester remains the current u. K. Hotspot i think its brilliant i hate it and i still. Think its brilliant should do it this everywhere manisha. This doorstep testing here but severe testing shortages elsewhere confusing local restrictions are having little effect so oldham is doing for itself what the government is struggling to keeping people safe the Central Government needs to learn from those in local government about what weve been doing and whats been successful they did turn to listen to us and rather than doing broadcast surveys room where they tell us what the government is doing which its not always clear whether or not its backed up by the science that dialogue needs to be 2 way we need to be feeding back into the government what were doing on the ground thats working and then they need to learn from that and roll that out to other areas rather than imposing kind of top down restrictions that are not always but by the science and appear illegitimate to vast numbers of people another aspect of why infection rates are spiralling so alarmingly have here in the north is that when the National Lockdown was lifted tour in the summer it was done on a london centric basis leaving infection rates still uncomfortably high in parts of the north well social and economic inequalities have combined since then to do much of the rest. Its known as the north south divide higher levels of unemployment overcrowding and poverty that are now contributing to rising hospital admissions to the northwest regions are all the robots are using translators for example theyre fairly rapidly so it started but it was 15 times lays being used in off west and but at the moment they got about. About 100 so almost a factor of 10 increase and there are students lots of them back on campus in september most now confined to cramped apartments and halls of residence a predictable wave of student infections increased manchesters overall rate 10 fold some may be tempted to think this is all happening a long way from the capital but as the government prepares to announce new lockdown rules that could be economically disastrous up here the predictions are that london could be just 2 weeks behind jonah hill aljazeera manchester well lets take talk more about all of this with annaliese wilder smith hes a professor of emerging Infectious Diseases at the London School of hygiene and tropical medicine and she joins us now from switzerland thank you for joining us and in east germany Austria Italy these countries had infection rates under control after the initial lockdown what whats going wrong it is really not too and surprising that been now and fortunately see this resurgence of cases its a combination of various factors one is there is indeed a bit of the drollness that t. And people are tired of being cautious but that 2nd also we had definitely increased mobility over to summer and serene to the action of the virus to different places and now we are also moving from warmer temperatures to cruel or assault more from outdoors to indoors which then also increases the transmission so the moment more research is being done into how the virus is transmitted what more do we know. It is the same as before it is a caltech time to context frequency the number of contacts and the contact proximity so thats what thats the basic tenet and thats what we need to make sure that we try to minimize so are these governments taking the right approach in these regional lockdowns do you think. In principle be need to do everything to avoid lock downs and indeed germany by that and several other governments have a step up approach dependent on various criteria and. The like the emphasis now is the targeted approach we need to zoom in where we think the highest transmission is occurring and then it may be different from from country to country or even within and within the country and what can people do on a on an individual level to protect themselves better. So for the older we need to enhanced the shielding of the older or the frail and were already doing that we need to get even better for the younger people i would just say the message for this year is slow down a bit maybe have smaller parties maybe pick up the book rather than going out i think for this year we just need to slow down until we have a vaccine and and we can restart our economies so here in the u. K. The infection rate is being driven by the Younger Generation is it the same in every country. It appears to be the same in most of the european countries. Where it is now clearly driven by young adults because we have learnt in the past 6 months how to better protected the older people. Thank you so much annelise father smith coming from switzerland. In new yorks new rules putting parts of the state back into lockdown because of rising Coronavirus Infections have sparked protests we can go live now to christians to me hes in new york for us Christian Tell us more about what led to these demonstrations. Well the state infection rate for the coronavirus is just over one percent but in some areas of the state theyve seen surges in infection rates and because of that the governor announced that there would be restrictions put back in place in some 20 neighborhoods many of them here in new york city some north of new york city and many of these neighborhoods it happens are home to large Hasidic Jewish populations and this led to some outcry in one particular neighborhood of brooklyn that saw some very heated protests where mass were burned a journalist says he was attacked by the crowd and so on to be fair the Jewish Community is not the only part of the community thats can be complaining about some of these new restrictions weve heard parents complain as well that their kids are no longer able to go to school. The catholic leaders of some churches have also complained about the restrictions which limit their congregations in the number of people that they can have in. Churches and synagogues and so on Business Owners that had just reopened are now being asked to close again all nonessential businesses in these 20 neighborhoods that have been identified by the state but again it was the Jewish Community that felt particularly slighted and attacked by this announcement which came just as a holiday was taking place people were planning to gather and they feel theyre being unfairly singled out and thats what led to the demonstrations for 2 nights in a row so has there been any response from local leaders and the governor have they reacted. Absolutely Governor Andrew Cuomo said that well this probably wouldnt happen if the city had been more done more to enforce the restrictions that were in place concerning mass and so on he says this is all aimed at keeping the virus than check so that theres not a full blown 2nd wave but even some local jewish leaders who sympathize with the government with the governor and a agree with his thinking are saying that he went about this in the very wrong way they found his announcement in the way he spoke to the community very condescending and this is just heightening tensions between the City Government and the State Government who have been at odds over the Coronavirus Response pretty much from the beginning and so theres a lot of resentment now in jewish communities in particular about the governors moves which again they feel are signaling sick singling them out christians to me thank you for the update from new york ambulances in the iranian capital is 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 restrictions are being tightened across the country including mandatory face loss orders in the capital tehran schools libraries mosques and other Public Institutions have been closed for a week. Coming up on this news hour from london. Prison and trust the American People you know what. Science doesnt know crosswords over the coronavirus is the u. S. Vice president ial nominees hold that debate. And a kidnapped politician and french aide workers are among those released by an Al Qaeda Linked group in money. The United States has slapped fresh sanctions on iran Financial Sector targeting 18 iranian banks the move is an effort to further the shutter on out of the Global Banking system irans foreign minister reacted angrily tweeting amidst the coded 1000. 00 pandemic us regime wants to blow up all remaining channels to pay for food and medicine iranians will survive this latest of cruelties but conspiring to stop the population is a crime against humanity culprits and enablers who built on money will face Justice Rosen and jordan has more from washington d. C. Perhaps the biggest criticism of the trumpet ministrations sanctions regime against iran is that the culminating impact is that this is hurting the iranian people certainly we have seen that criticism coming not just from nations but also from a wide range of humanitarian organizations around the world now the Treasury Department when in announced this latest round of sanctions against these 18 iranian banks said that these banks would still have exemptions so that they could bring in funds to facilitate the purchase of emergency food and medicine to serve the iranian people of course people have criticized the u. S. For making it much harder to get that sort of humanitarian aid to the iranian people but leave no doubt. The trumpet ministration has made one of its key Foreign Policy objectives the International Isolation of iran because of what it says is irans attempts to develop a viable Nuclear Weapons program and it believes that by cutting off all avenues of getting cash into the hands or the under the control of the iranian government that the trumpet ministration ultimately will be successful but we have not seen that at least not as of right now. There are questions 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 and not in person his challenger joe biden says the debate should be delayed by a week and held in person something the Truck Campaign has agreed to but that was on the condition that the 3rd debate be held in the week before the poll something bidens team has rejected the initial move was down to concerns the president could still be contagious after catching coronavirus fire that the commission a little while ago changed the debate style i mean and thats not acceptable to beat him easily in the 1st debate going to the polls that ive seen but i beat him easily that i felt theyd beat him easily i think you felt it too you know im not going to waste my time in a virtual debate thats not what debating is all about you sit behind a computer and do a debates ridiculous and then they cut you off whenever they want.
