More than 50 u. S. Senators appealed for the release of political activists and journalists facing dangerous conditions in egypt presents. To the youth sports news the Los Angeles Dodgers are on their way to baseballs world series after completing a superb come from behind victory over the Atlanta Braves. So the number of people around the world to have contracted coronavirus has exceeded 40000000 a quarter of those are still active cases iran has reported its highest ever daily death toll at least 337 people have died of covert 900 over the past 24 hours and it brings the total number of fatalities up to more than 30000 and more than 10000000 cases have been reported across latin America Brazil argentina and colombia among the top. 10 worst hit countries in the world and other nations across europe including potent and italy are imposing more restrictions to tackle the new wave who factions wales is going into a nationwide lockdown for 2 weeks that starts on friday it is one of the worst hit areas in the United Kingdom well in a moment well cross over to london to get the latest on the situation there from genoa hala monica yant of kiev is also standing by for us in rio de janiero but 1st lets go to Dawson Jabari whos there in tehran and this spike in the daily death toll in iran must be extremely concerning for everybody. Certainly and so much so that just a short while ago on state t. V. The president Hassan Rouhani had his Coronavirus Task force meeting and it was broadcast live and one of the main messages from the president was that people need to not be alarmed there is no cause to panic but that the residents of the all the different provinces need to listen to the Health Officials and their warnings and their protocols that is one of the main reasons Health Officials believe these numbers keep increasing and an important point to highlight is that the numbers that we get from Health Officials to their own advice as well they are not actual true numbers they believe the real figures to be much higher than the ones they put out every day because a number of people dont actually report their symptoms or their cases to officials many people dont get tested in the country under the Health Care System unless they develop symptoms that is how the covert tests are covered by the government but if you dont have any symptoms if you have contact with somebody and you want to be tested you have to pay for it for yourself but its actually in terms of the average salary is quite expensive so its one of the reasons many believe that this virus continues to spread another reason is that there is this is the 3rd week that we had in the capital shutdown of a number of various institutions including schools universities gyms barber shops but many officials dont actually enforce these rules heard of many places privately that are still open which means people still continue with their daily routines so there isnt really this culture of trying to stay home even the president highlighted this he said if we ask people to stay home will force them Government Employees to stay home what they will end up doing is actually going out so its not really productive for them also the Economic Situation in the country is not conducive to most people who need to have an income there is no subsidies provided by the government to cover those who lose their wages due to this outbreak so there is a lot of the. Reasons why weve seen this increase and also Health Officials have warned that this particular brand of the virus and that were seeing in this 3rd spike in iran is the most deadly so far and a lot of people that have died as a result of it have had preexisting conditions them over 80 percent of the people that have passed away from cold it have had those some conditions and so there is a lot of different factors can treat contributing to this increase also thanks for the picture in tehran lets spin across the other side of the world to near in fact where monica. For us because what is it Something Like 11000 new cases in the past 24 hours or so. Yes well in brazil its going to where were going to reach the 154000 dead over 5000200 cases of infections well the president of the 1st lady one of his sons they have all been infected and theyre all well. Although the numbers are increasing theyve been rather stable compared to 2 weeks ago and theyre just spiking up in 2 of the northern states. Also another new thing is the governor of fall which is the richest state in brazil theyre working with the chinese on the scent of x. X. Scene which should be here by december and has already said that at least in some polo if the vax when the vaccine arrives and if it works its going to be mandatory but present also natl says the you cannot force people to be vaccinated and also recently i just spoke to us specialist who is working in the Brazilian Institute thats working together to for the vaccine which was also being tested in brazil and she said that even when the pandemic. Is over the whole of it done team will still be endemic in brazil and perhaps in many other latin american countries where theres poverty and a lot of inequality. Of course not in america as a whole as the pitch is serious to give us it gives the broad paint a broad picture of how it is that. Well among the 10 countries you have the most cases you have peru colombia and argentina also besides brazil and argentina is like a contrast because argentina had a much stricter Lockdown People really respected to the rules like the president the minister or the opposition everybody have the same. Gave the same instructions which is not the case in brazil where you had where the president downplayed the virus all the time. Were there the Health MentalHealth Ministers were were one was far good one laughs but although argentina was like an example its now among the 10 that have most cases so people there are extremely worried. Or amount of things about the money and here you know in brazil lets cross over the atlantic now its in Northern Europe to london to be precise and john hall is there and in fact is in wales where theyve Just Announced a National Look down how long for and what does it mean for the people. Inevitably anything like this means greater pain to businesses perhaps more job losses down the line later in the year much as is happening really in other parts of the u. K. As well such an escalation in wales though in terms of restrictions in place to fight this 2nd wave of lockdown announced a little earlier by mark drake for the 1st minister of the devolved didnt stray sion in wales will last 2 weeks starting on friday that coincides with the states who have to break down essential businesses will shots education will largely be shut hospitality of those people will be told to stay home work from home unless they absolutely current and moderate food when he announced this measure said that it was necessary not just to try and control the 2nd wave and to give the National Health service a much needed sort of breather edge of a pretty dark anticipated winter but also crucially to provide a moment of restart a reset for the much criticized National Test trace and i slight system built by the government here in london of course at a cost of 15000000000. 00 it simply doesnt work it hasnt effectively produced the data required on localised outbreaks to be able to deal with and isolate them on a localized basis they wont be any answer to this problem short of a vaccine unless there is an effective test trace and isolate system of the world to try to get on top of that then of course not facing the only grim picture in the u. K. Notably the north of england cities in the north and the midlands facing an uphill struggle to offer to students 3 turns to universities there in september and sent infection rates soaring liverpool is already under socalled tier 3 restrictions the highest the very high risk category newly introduced by Boris Johnson last week other cities the government has been trying to put under to 3 have been resisting their mayors led by andy burnham the labor labor mayor of manchester beans question the Science Behind these measures and also saying this simply isnt enough money to compensate people who will lose their jobs and businesses who will lose income its been a pretty an edifying row going on between tender. Running street and those mayors and defying of course because it makes a mockery of forrest johnsons election plates to level up the big divide between the north and the south well downing street in the last couple of hours of this meeting ongoing now have counted saying hospital beds in manchester particularly look like they could reach capacity by the middle of november if andy burnham and the other mayors dont submit to these measures well theyll be forced to and quite possibly without the additional cash incentive or a general thanks for that to john hall there in london lets take this one further we can speak now into exxon a piece that kooser Global PublicHealth Expert of senior fellow at University CollegeLondon School of pharmacy joins us now. Lets stay with europe according to the World Economic forum the continent is reporting more than 140000 cases a day on average thats more than india brazil and the United States combined how is it got to this state. Well unfortunately we can trace it back to this very relaxed summer period where many countries had emerged out of a certain walk down and had always acted as the virus had just disappeared on its. And we saw these air bridges reopen and even party is being held at septra however experts have been warning about this 2nd wave about the concerns for winter all her summer period saying that this is the time that we have an opportunity to build an Effective Team test and trace this to him so that we dont have to introduce more severe restrictions again like we had to do you in march and april and because of the huge catastrophic consequences that it entails so all of this is really. Turned around from trying to balance the Health Consequences with the economic consequences and perhaps doing it too rigorously too quickly without a saints or courage or i think weve seen with. Only sort of jump in there was a more not bombs no way with the shop down such as that was which were seeing in wales are you saying that thats not the way to go then. No im saying this is what we have to do because if we go back to the summer period we have. No we havent used that period to create better times some trace mechanism so its not a surprise that all we had eat out to help out all over schools reopen drives to go back to eat dry have to go back to the office all with the fire still in circulation so we went from low and it takes some time for it to reach back up to keep levels but how can we use that time to develop a better test into a system to do it in a more space or courage then this really aggressive measure that you lock down a Circuit Breaker perhaps when it be needed and we are now a stage because of this quick rate of hospitalizations or the concern about i. C. U. Beds where we will have to. You know wales is now doing the Circuit Breaker and its likely that many others will now follow suit because of because we want to avoid the full national law and this will be needed to do so ok what about a vaccine how far are we away from it and how quickly might to restore normality. So we do have. 200 candidates currently 42 are in human trials so the robot the pipeline is robots which is great means we have different types of platforms be used as well its likely that it wont just be one vaccine but multiple that are going to be distributed all around the world and there is positive developments with astra zeneca so we do hope that by the 1st quarter 20 train line there should be in the ability to get this 1st doses out but still if we look at who thats going to go to it just simply wont be possible to do it all at once so it is going to have to be a staged approach in the dont we chose working with gabby and set b. And countries to help prioritize create a framework so that the vulnerable and healthcare workers have access. But it wont be readily available to people straight away which creates an opportunity for falsifying medical products to men entering their markets and thats what im concerned about Going Forward weve already seen a shift of criminal activity to work state p p e fake tests and all these other complications are unintended consequences ok long road ahead it seems on a piece of appreciate that thanks very much indeed for your expertise thank you thank you chief palestinian negotiator saeb erekat is in a medically induced coma while being treated for coronavirus complications he was taken to hospital west rusin from his home in the occupied west bank on sunday he thought to say hes in a Critical Condition after contracting coded 19 nearly 2 weeks ago. Plenty more still ahead here on the news hour including another cease fire on the edge of collapse the u. N. Chief says it was a pleasure and in our media are ignoring International Calls to stop fighting will be life with the latest. Calling for change in chile tens of thousands rally across the country some protests and into violence. A School Coming up to barcelona star madly on message can return to form when they begin their Champions League and. All right vote counting is underway in bolivias president ial election unofficial early results suggest that new music has won hes the candidate from the socialist party of former president evo morales who was forced out of office after a disputed vote last year now even though counting is still ongoing and former president evo morales is already declaring victory for say his partys candidate from his refuge in argentina ralitsa hailed the bolivian people from during a difficult year. Undoubtedly todays a historic day once again the bolivian people have delivered to listen in democracy and perseverance the people have resisted a coup a defacto government to massacres a Pandemic Management marked by inefficiency and corruption several delays on the elections and the worst economic crisis in our history. Lets cross to bear his life for us in one if there is a. Indeed the winner what would his victory mean for bolivia. Well fundies elections sundays volta was a historic day for bolivia it happened peacefully with no major incidents which comes as a surprise of what weve been seeing in the country in the past year since there was a failed election that was canceled last year that left people taking to the streets to demand it what ellis west ignatius hes leaving the country and being exiled here in argentina and the protests we have seen in the country since then the cold counting process is still ongoing but unofficial results are already confirming a 20 point lead by side a say over. So what we know right now is that the official results are still out there but they need to be confirmed by the of poll showed counting process that many are saying its going extremely low and we satisfy is a former economy minister he was able what alice minister of economy for 12 years and many actually viewed to him what is no one has ever known me which is a period in bolivia that saw a period of extreme growth of nationalization of the gas industry where bolivia saw growth around a 5 percent growth rate a year and lifting millions of people out of poverty out of this is all happening in a country thats been polarized well many sectors of the country in cities like some. Others there are staunch opponent solve this Movement Toward socialism sparty but in spite of this most of the analysts we have spoken to say that we set of this victory brings stability to a polarized country he also brings some certainty over the economy lets not forget that while it is a country thats struggling right now with a very strong with covert 19 with the impact of corvet 19 in the economy aside from the political strife that has existed in the country but many of the people we have spoken to say that one of the main issues right now one of the most. The strongest benefits that we cited say that victoria would have is that it would continue to empower indigenous communities in that country while we were there last year there were thousands of people taken to the streets because they were afraid of what was happening in the until they were afraid of losing the benefits they had won why live on what at least one of us 1st indigenous president was in power well they have the guarantee now that they will watch those rights facts about the terms by reporting them from one as they are now fighting between armenia and azerbaijan or the new going to occur because killed another 1900 years in the disputed region i mean it says 729. 00 of its soldiers have died since the end of september the un secretary general is urging both sides to respect and use these for the 2nd attempt at a truce again on saturday the region is internationally recognized as part of us by john but its controlled by ethnic medians lets cross now to huddle Hoda Abdelhamid whos live for us in via in by sean and so the harder it sounds like this 2nd season is all but nothing is changing and its being ignored by both sides in. Well i would say that that cease fire exists on all but paper i mean since the very early
