Thank you for joining us we begin with the coronavirus pandemic and germany is imposing a partial lockdown from next monday to try and stop the record rise in cold in 1000 infections chancellor Angela Merkel says its needed to avoid a National Health emergency germany recorded nearly 15000 new cases on wednesday evacuees following developments from london and has more on germanys. In the local service she was responding to a very serious situation indeed she said that the doubling time for the virus house got shorter and the numbers in intensive care were doubling every 10 days she said shes been Holding Meetings with the leaders of germany 16 different federal governments have largely been able to set their own coronavirus rules but what shes looking for is a nationwide concerted effort to bring these spiraling figures under control so for november the 2nd all bars and restaurants the asus cinemas will be forced to close all nonessential travel will be stalled hotels will only be allowed to remain open for essential travelers so no tourist shops will remain open but fewer than one person in an area of 10 meters squared will be allowed inside those shops or expect long queues of people in possibly a rush to stock up on goods before the new measures come into force or also schools will be allowed to remain open but we have heard that some schools are already shifted some of their lessons online in anticipation of a tightening of restrictions to come because the german chancellor said that these measures would be under review and could be adjusted within 2 weeks time so stringent measures across the board will likely to seriously affect how people live their lives in germany. Now with cases soaring in france president Emmanuel Mccoy is expected to shortly announce new restrictions there speaking after meeting with the estonian Prime Minister in paris earlier he said european leaders would discuss a Pandemic Response at the summit on thursday level. Of course we talked about the killed situation in europe the seriousness of which requires the greatest good in the nation on the european level to avoid a repeat of the border closures and above all to coordinate our National Strategies against the virus but if you kill italy our testing policies our fears of a rapid rise in corona virus infections across the u. S. And europe have driven down stock markets in europe and on wall street lets check in with Christian Salome whos in new york for his christian everyone very very nervous about in europe and the u. S. And how will affect economies sell us about how the markets are reacting. Yes as weve been getting the news about rising cases here in the United States and across europe and new lockdown measures in europe the markets have been falling in response here in the United States its been a bad week all told with the trend continuing today the dow and the s. And p. Were down more than 3 percent at session lows for the dow thats more than 800. 00 points and looks like it could close today at the lowest level its been out since august this following on news as well of germany imposing new lockdown measures as we just heard thats also speaking investors we know the dax germans market close down as well more than 4 percent and the declines that were seeing are stocks across all sectors both travel and leisure which youd expect to be impacted by more restrictions more sickness stocks like boeing Delta Airlines and so on but even stocks that had been more immune more pandemic friendly if you will like amazon and netflix are also down in this suggests that investors are reducing their exposure reducing their wrist amid so much Uncertainty Oil prices also down more than 4 percent on news that stockpiles are rising and demand could also continue to fall given these latest numbers and figures what are we seeing here in the United States almost a half 1000000 new infections in the last week 2 days of record high factions and no relief bill in sight in washington d. C. Either it looks unlikely that there will be any attempt for congress to address these economic concerns before the election and oh yeah the election as well lots of uncertainty there too less than a week away here in the United States and theres possibilities that people are talking about we wont have the results on election day because of write in ballots and contested races and close races and so on all of this creating this very uncertain atmosphere and a lot of concern for investors. Thank you for that christensen and we in new york and as we mentioned france is expected to announce a nationwide lockdown in jest under an hour were expecting at present a man in my car to speak. In paris so or what are we expecting the president to announce. While we do know there is the french president a man or mark raul will certainly be announcing tighter restrictions exactly what those restrictions are yet are yet to be confirmed we have to wait to hear what he says but there is no doubt that there are a few options on the table that have been widely reported in french media one is the possibility of another National Knock down a lock to knock down that could be perhaps a little bit more flexible than the very Strict Lockdown we saw in france in march april and may another possibility would be to continue the curfew that was put in place now and less than 2 weeks ago nighttime curfew and also add to that a weekend curfew so effectively people be locked out of the weekend and in the evenings but daytime during the week would still be ok people still be allowed to go out and do their business now well hear from the french president it is clear though that this response is to the deteriorating Health Situation here in france we have seen new cases of corona virus infections saw over the past 2 weeks weve had a couple of days where theyve been more than 50000 new cases a day ahead of frances Scientific Council saying it could be as many as 100000 people actually infected because there are so many people who of course are asymptomatic are not getting tested is an urgent situation and the french government is looking to respond no tasha the there was already fatigue from you know this and the restrictions in france whats going to be the publics reaction to any more new restrictions. Well i think over the past couple of days talk of the possibility of another lockdown means that a lot of people of course prepared for that as an eventuality it doesnt mean though that it will be easy by any means because it was very difficult the 1st time for many people psychologically and certainly in terms of the economy there was absolutely people be very worried indeed about their Financial Futures about perhaps losing their jobs certainly not a pile of anyone wants to go down yet at the same time people that there is a Health Crisis many support the fact that the medical workers in the country under a lot of pressure hospitals the hospitals are under pressure half of the countrys i. C. U. Beds are already full and the government says in the next few weeks if nothing is done then we could see the hospitals even under even more precious saturated the point that they could no longer cope so i think people understand that nevertheless there are questions increasingly being asked as to why were actually in this situation in the 1st place because we had a lock down at the beginning of the year everybody knew that covert havent disappeared so why did the government not anticipate perhaps better the possibility of this 2nd wave and prepare the country better so that it would have to have such tight restrictions thank you for that matter there in paris. In other world news the latest cease fire between azerbaijan and armenia is crumbling after just 2 days by john is accusing armenia of killing at least 21 civilians and wounding dozens more in strikes close to the disputed region of. The attack in the city of baidoa is the deadliest on civilians since fighting started a month ago between the 2 nations armenia denies the attacks which comes days after the u. S. Brokered humanitarian truce residents of have told andras year they suffered hours of intense shelling Hoda Abdelhamid has more from azerbaijans capital buckle. It was the worst attack on civilians since this round of hostilities began now the latest number is still stands at 21 dead but more than 70 injured and as we understand it some are in very Critical Condition this comes on the back of 4 other people who died on tuesday evening including an infant not very far from barda city in a village nearby the authorities here were quick to condemn that attack president ilham aliyev himself said that the response will come back will be on the battlefield and aides to the president said that the armenians had used cluster smersh long range missiles to hit the city of bard today and the army is saying that this still trying to figure out the extent of the damage that has been done but we as we understand it there has been several civilian infrastructures that were hit too and here is really challenge now with a view from armenias capital yerevan. Today has been a grim day the worst for civilians it seems in this conflict so far the armenians have deny that they attacked shelled but the pictures obviously tell a different story they are medians are saying that it is they who have been the victim of shelling today in my car a back that the capital the main city in going to catechize to kind of being attacked and that the main hospital there has been badly hit particularly the maternity wing of it no casualties as far as we are aware in that incident but they have also said the armenians that. The city of shushi has been attacked as well and that one civilian died in that rocket attack i think theyre calling it and who were injured now. Saying that this is a continuation of what hes calling a genocidal policy against the civilians of going to care about the armenians of nagornokarabakh perhaps this is the kind of thing that we might see more of as as both sides gets increasingly invested increasingly desperate perhaps that attacks on civilian centers are going to increase as well.

Im john hendren in ohio a state known for picking u. S. President s it might just do it one more time and in sports details of a parting shot from boss a bonus football clubs outgoing rising. Price just under a week to go now until the u. S. Elections democratic president ial nominee joe biden has cast his ballot in his home state of delaware he met with Health Experts and delivered his brand on how he would tackle the cold in 1000 pandemic in the coming hours present donald trump and democratic Vice President ial nominee come a high School Address supporters in our zona thats bringing our White House CorrespondentKimberly Hahn cant be so 6 days to go the final stretch where and what the campaigns focusing on well as you mentioned is joe biden is home state of delaware where hes voting holding a Health Care Speech as well as a Virtual Event the focus of this is really his Closing Argument how he believes he could heal a divided nation kamel harris in arizona and 2 rallies for donald trump in arizona as well or he is going to make the case in those make America Great again rallies to ignore the polls that he says they were wrong in 2016 and even though there is a double digit lead nationally for joe biden he says theyll be wrong in 2020 once again 17000000 votes have already been cast kimberly thats more than half of the overall turnout in 2016 what does that mean for turnout on election day. Well it means that in many cases a lot of those who are doing in person voting tend to lean republican the early mail in voting has tended to favor joe biden thus far one thing thats not encouraging for donald trump is the fact that there is a surge in young voters thats in the demographic of 20 to 29 year olds who overwhelmingly are liberal in their persuasion and so this is also not good news for donald trump in fact in 2 battleground States Joe Biden leading in both wisconsin and michigan and the other discouraging thing even if donald trump says that the polls were wrong in 2016 and be wrong again is that joe bidens lead is far greater this time around than 2016 as well there are fewer undecided voters and of course the coronavirus pandemic is overshadowing all of this weve got record numbers of cases in the u. S. Is this election can be ultimately going to be a referendum on handling of the pandemic you know theres no question that that is motivating many people to get in their ballot the you have to remember that donald trump presided over historically low unemployment but all of that was wiped out with the introduction of covert 19 to the United States now we have high unemployment rates particularly for women of color and that is a target demographic that has been trying to reach out to but has been experiencing a lot of blowback as a result of the economic woes being faced by so many in the United States kimberly thank you very much for that company how cant live at the white house. Now when it comes to us elections im going to say its ohio that predicts the winning candidates than that in 30 of the past 32 president ial elections john hendren has a report. Clevelands industrial skyline rises from the ohio coast on lake erie and its ohios mix of industry agriculture and service jobs that make it a microcosm of the u. S. And thats what makes ohio the bellwether state. For decades all routes to the white house have gone through here ohio has voted for the winner in every president ial election since 1964 and they take voting seriously here i think its most important especially if you want to see change no republican has ever won the presidency without 1st winning in ohio. At may holes Bowling Alley winning is the name of the game. Here in suburban cleveland the diversity within International Border the crowd leans toward democrats and away from President Trump hes mentally imbalanced and he is a threat to the health and well being of everyone on the plane
