To simply go to school to use the Los Angeles Dodgers are on their way to the world series of to compete in the spirit come from behind victory over the Atlanta Braves. Thanks for joining us the number of people around the world whove the contract coronavirus has surpassed 40000000 a quarter of those are so active cases countries right across europe are imposing more restrictions to tackle the new wave of infections many have seen a spike in daily cases including poland which is turning its National Stadium into a hospital to cope with the influx of patients its Health Minister warns infections could increase 520000 cases a day if people there dont stick to the rules and slovenia isnt forcing a nighttime curfew its also declared a 30 day state of emergency as cases there doubled in the past week and austria is limiting public gatherings to 6 people indoors and 12 outdoors. Wales is going into a National Lockdown for 2 weeks starting on friday more than 3000000 people will be affected and everybody apart from essential workers will have to stay home lets bring in bob hes across all these developments the team is joining us from london to 1st look at the situation over in wales what more can you tell us about how that decision was made. Well there in obviously this is a decision by the devolved government of wales and it stands in contrast to the situation in england for example because the the u. K. Government in fact was advised last month by its scientific advisors that a National Lockdown of what theyre calling a circuit break perhaps of 2 or 3 weights would be a good idea to drive down cases but they decided against it now wales has gone gone it alone with the toughest restrictions in the u. K. You can call it a lockdown comparable to what we saw earlier in the year because the 1st minister mark dreyfus has said that people must work from home wherever possible people must stay at home except for very limited purposes such as for exercise the things i. Gatherings for halloween bonfire night and so on coming up are all out of the window schools are going to reopen in some cases. After the half term holiday. And basically this is going to really remind people of what conditions were like earlier in the year he says the 1st minister says there will be a half a 1000000000. 00 fund to support businesses hit by these restrictions which are going to last a should specify for 2 weeks and he said that they need to be short but sharp to have a max maximum impact on the virus well this is the debate here in the u. K. Elsewhere there are localised restrictions for Greater Manchester a region of almost 3000000 again in north west england or forties that a Still Holding out against the governments wish to put them into the highest level of restrictions they want to more money for people who whose business is his workplaces will be shut by those open ended restrictions thats the key thing there the british chambers of commerce a warning that there must be the right for. In actual support there will be a catastrophic Economic Impact but were hearing that in fact in many cities in in england including manchester the weekly rate rates of transmission are actually falling now but in the hospitals intensive care unit so almost fall in some parts of that so a Greater Manchester area so theres the the big di lemma its all to do with how to protect Public Health services as the country goes into the winter period and it seemed this picture is sort of the same situation in other countries in europe now experiencing whats being described as a 2nd wave. Absolutely you are referencing poland which is making a football stadium ready to take up the you know the demands of the expected rise in covered cases take the pressure off the Health System there will in belgium now the 2nd highest death toll in the world per population from covered 19 there theyve already shut bars and restaurants for a month theyre now imposing a nighttime curfew from monday night austria is now bringing in a limit to the number of people that can gather its 6 people indoors and 12 people outdoors are very very worried by the rise that theyre seeing in over the weekend they saw their highest daily new cases the best part of 2000 and then its really the country which was the 1st to be really hard hit they are now telling bars that they have to shut by 6 pm unless theyre offering Table Service thats going to be a big cultural shock in italy theyre buying amateur sports and theyre banning local festivals and fairs which are a big part of life in italy these are all measures which they want theyre trying to do to avoid a National Lockdown but whether they can actually avoid what wales has now implemented is very hard to predict ok nadine barber reporting from london and in fact you. Well dr gloria tell yani is a professor of Infectious Diseases that supplants a university of rome and shes confident that the new measures are enough to get the outbreak under control in italy. First of all we have to say that the number has not increasing in its been a sure way we are searching infected people in are very deep way and off course as much as you look for them in the most you look for them the most to find them but what is important to underline is that we find infected people not people with the disease the this is the the the number the fraction of people with the disease quite small and the fractional persons who are severely ill easier than smaller therefore we cannot say that we are in the same condition as we read in march and dont really believe there will be the need for a lockdown a 2nd distance teaching and mostly for older students those of the higher classes will make a great difference in the future spreading of the virus and indeed cures in the next 2 weeks so i think that we should be confident that this manges we cope effectively with the increase of the numbers we have observed in the last weeks iran has reported its highest ever single day rise in corona virus deaths 337 fatalities raises the total to more than 30000 and more than 4000 new infections were confirmed in the past 24 hours despite restrictions imposed 3 weeks ago schools gems and theaters are all closed and wearing a mask in public is compulsory and parts off the country lets get an update from the rest of the bars hes joining us from toronto a spike in the daily death toll. Why has there been an increase. Well one of the main reasons and that is one of also that cause of concern for Health Officials is that people are not taking these restrictions seriously in the capital despite the fact that many people are asked to stay home in the schools are closed and universities are all closed there is still a lot of people that are going about their daily routines the malls are open restaurants are still open and they are not hearing to the words of the Health Officials who are urging people to limit their movements in the city this is also one of the reasons that one of the main reasons for that is that many people dont have the luxury of staying home they have to earn a living there is no help Financial Aid from the government thats being offered at the moment so many people that weve spoken to say that staying at home for them is just not an option they have to make a living so the traffic that we see on a regular basis in the capital one of the busiest provinces in the country continues the spike this outbreak even though people are the majority of people that we see across the city wear masks there are still many people who go about their daily business and they try to earn a living many of the taxi drivers that we spoke to say they just cant afford to stay home they have to earn their days wages because there is absolutely no help Financial Aid from the government during this pandemic so will the government then be introducing new restrictions. Well the government here never actually shut down the country completely even though its one of the 1st countries in the middle east to have the outbreak in february it began theyve said that they just cant afford to shut down the country completely even though they have reduced they have introduced all kinds of restrictions and fines there the issue is that theyre not being imposed ive seen many people who dont actually stay home and their businesses the private businesses like hair salons and private gyms are still open and there is actually no authority that is following through its trying to limit this from happening so people in turn continue to go about doing their regular routines so the one of the main issues is that the rules are not being enforced and Health Officials have warned that the death toll will continue to rise and that one of the reasons that is because they said this this is the 3rd wave that iran has witnessed over the past a few months and this is one of the deadliest and that is they believe because the strain that has come through of covert 1000 is one of the strongest and also one of the reasons of the highest death toll that weve seen so far is that Health Officials have said over 80 percent of the people who become infected and pass away from this disease a disease have preexisting conditions there is over 11 percent of the population who are diabetic in iran so there is already a very a range of people who are susceptible to become very ill from this disease and this is why the officials have urged people to abide by the rules but the spiral that the Economic Situation in the country is absolutely not susceptible to people staying home. With an update from toronto or so thank you. Now thailands Prime Minister has issued a conciliatory message to protest or is saying rallies which were banned are now permitted as long as there are peaceful thousands demonstrated in bangkok for a 6 day to demand. Resignation they want a more democratic constitution as well as changes to the monarchy but it. Well the government has to do is protect the monarchy because this is the juicy of all types people we request just these few things and we request the protesters to demonstrate peacefully. Theres no plan to expand the area of the state of emergency the governments trying to compromise as much as possible i want to ask the protesters for a few things dont destroy government and private property dont do anything wrong and most importantly dont let there be fighting scott heiler has more from bangkok. This protest is in the custody district of bangkok now this is one of 3 that were announced very late in the afternoon on monday and within 90 minutes we were hear of that announcement there are people showing up already in their hundreds it is swollen to more than a couple of 1000 now again there are 2 other locations within bangkok again announce at the same time there are 6 across the northern part of thailand also being held on monday evening now its interesting how the organizers of the protest are doing this now theyre announcing the protest location time late in the afternoon and the people come out very quickly now whats interesting is that theyve said the protest leaders to protest organizers that everybody is a leader so everybody is participating and you can see that here also something thats interesting is that theres a very light if no Police Presence thats something thats kind of transitioned over what we saw obviously last friday evening but one thing that the protesters are saying here theyre going to maintain this level of protesting to put pressure on the government from the only thing that we can do is to keep coming out to show that we are not happy with the government. The monarchy reform is another important change perhaps the most important one in the past the monarchy played an Important Role behind many coups earlier in the day type police have said that theyve ordered a regulatory body to investigate for Media Outlets for possible infractions of spreading false information and also spreading information that could incite violence now this is tied to that emergency decree that came out early thursday morning also part of that decree is a ban on gatherings obviously thats something the protesters are ignoring and saying theyre going to continue to ignore still ahead on the aljazeera news hour and another ceasefire on the edge of collapse the u. N. Chief says as our base and armenia are ignoring International Calls to stop fighting we have a live updates. And battling blisters cold temperatures and closed shelter as we meet some of the venezuelan migrants looking for a better life abroad through. European countries set out a joint bid for the womens world cup peter will have that story coming up in sports. But 1st the wall street journal is reporting that china has threatened to detain a merry can citizens if its academics are prosecuted in the u. S. Several chinese academics with undisclosed ties to the military were arrested in the u. S. In recent months they were accuse the flying on their visa applications in order to conduct industrial espionage china has reacted to that report saying it will ensure the safety of Foreign Residents we may be why lodging that foreign citizens are being arbitrarily detained in china the us is calling white black and is trying to play the victim here its trying to find excuses to justify its damage of chinese citizens legitimate rights and interests chinas been ensuring the safety and interests of foreign citizens in china as long as they abide by chinese law and regulations they have nothing to worry about katrina who has more from beijing on those reported warnings from china. The seems to be quite a threatening message and intimidation in order to sort of warn the us and or for force them rather to stop persecuting chinese nationals in the us we know in the us has been quite a crackdown due to security concerns on chinese academics at least 5 have been arrested and charged for failing to acknowledge that connection to chinas military we also know that about 1000. 00 chinese academics in the u. S. Have had their visas revoked also due to some security suspicions or concerns one of those academics who was detained was named tongue joined she took refuge earlier in the San Francisco chinese consulate before being arrested and detained and now this whole fiasco involving these 5 chinese academics has been a huge point of embarrassment for china and as weve heard earlier from jolly jen thats what theyre calling political persecution saying that the u. S. Is crying victim for what they think has been a sort of fight started by the u. S. Itself now what is interesting about what Chinas Foreign Ministry spokesperson said today he said he did not flat out deny that there would be a response or some Richard Boucher or impact on u. S. Nationals here in china he didnt flat out deny that although he did say that foreign nationals in china are protected as long as they do follow the law its been revealed the diplomats from china and taiwan got into a fight at a reception in fiji earlier this month taiwans Foreign Ministry says an official suffered head injuries when staff tried to stop Chinese Embassy representatives from taking photos of guests celebrating taiwans National Day China which regards the island as a breakaway provinces the event was illegitimate its. The u. N. Secretary general is urging armenia and azerbaijan to respect a new cease fire both sides have accused each other of violating the agreement this is the 2nd sees foreign debt stopping fighting over the disputed region of nagornokarabakh the region is internationally recognized as part of azerbaijan but its controlled by Ethnic Armenians well bring in rory chalons live from the armenian capital your of on in just a moment 1st joining us from fear in azerbaijan has the truce but holding her. Well the truth was announced to start on saturday at midnight but the conflict hasnt started hasnt stopped one minute ever since so we could say that the ceasefire is yet to be started as a bridge any government has announced that it has retaken several villages and cities in south of the. Karabakh region in one of these occupied areas. Also announced that it has made ferd to push continuing its offensive in those occupied region south of the that border karabakh on cleaved towards the border with iran and has actually raised as the reflagged on historical bridge to who the fed bridge also as a by john says that armenia has been shelling several areas mainly the region where actually a cotton factory was set on fire and several buildings around that area so maybe there is a ceasefire on paper but on the ground the conflict continues what we havent seen is actually. Armenian shelling going further beyond those okie by regions into proper as the area territory with which had happened last week just 2 days ago being that enormous long range missile that hit and killed 13 people in ganja but no one here really is holding its breath that it will hold there is an announcement that has azerbaijan does say that is willing to swap bodies that is really the crux of that cease fire that cease fire is meant only to swap bodies and Wounded Soldiers as they are by gen has issued a statement yesterday saying it is willing to swap the bodies it has passed the details to the i. C. R. C. It hasnt mentioned anything about doing good soldiers but for the i. C. s you really should start even doing that implementing that while there has to be a moment of calm long enough and that hasnt happened so far ok thank you for that update from azerbaijan lets bring in rich islands from armenia as captain youre of on whats the reaction from memory. Well i think like what it was telling us jus
