And california as a wine country is burning again as fast moving wildfires terror across that region tens of thousands are forced to flee as the most destructive fire season in the States History rages on. Im sumi so much convents good to have you with us the corona virus has claimed the lives of more than 1000000 people but experts caution that the true figure is probably much higher the Johns HopkinsUniversity Database recorded this tragic milestone and that database shows the virus has spread to at least 180. Countries and fatalities have been rising through most of august and september after weeks of gradual decline many countries are seeing a resurgence in coronavirus cases including here in europe experts say the crisis is far from over. Well lets take a look now at the countries with the most deaths resulting from cold it 19 now if we take a look at the the map now we see her that includes the u. S. Brazil india mexico the u. K. Italy france spain and also iran but if we look at the number of deaths as a proportion of the population of each country we get a better indication of the impact of the virus and as you can see on the back that list is a little bit different it includes peru belgium bolivia spain ecuador she lay the u. K. Of brazil italy and of course the u. S. Now if you focus in on one of those countries belgium of the government there has been criticized for being slow to act but the hyper capita death rate may also be because of a statistical quirk belgium has a broader definition of deaths caused by the virus which makes its figure higher than in other countries but no matter how the statistics stack up every coronavirus death is a human tragedy didnt use terrorist cells reports now on one belgian families heartbreaking loss. The world has lost a 1000000 lives. One of them meant the world to 10 year old lorenzo my grandpa who was the best his grandpa luke picked him up from school each day and when i got to we made homework and after dad.

It on march 23rd luke became seen truants 1st corona death jeanine and their daughters nell and lane and lorenzo didnt even get to see goodbye now that really hot. It struck us really all. Mayor very hit and felt it personally her husband became critically ill but survived it was a terrible time for the families but also for us as a mayor but also all the people of my policemen and you know the people in the town who are working. 24 hours a day 6 months later same treatment has the infection rate under control with strict measures father room 10 and says now inhabitants need to heal its important that we share. With each other what we feel what we want our r. And d. But also or the.

You were to bastogne always going to be the best because you think he said in there. That i was brave and that i was happy that i did it that i get through it all out. Please happy. Everybodys. Grandpa. No one here will forget them. To diffuse teri schultz reporting for us there. Lets get some more perspective on the story now we can speak to Gabriel Leung hes an epidemiologist and dean of medicine at Hong Kong University gabriel thank you for joining us as we mentioned weve reached a really tragic milestone 1000000 people have died from coban 1000 across the world and we know that the pandemic is still far from over what is your perspective do you think were going to see the death toll continue to rise at such a level going forward. Yes im afraid i do see it increasing oil etc reaching project korea all of hospitalization and then of course a few weeks after that you will start seeing rises in deaths as well so as. It is now going through the accept rate at phase i wave to you will start seeing and in fact indeed you have started seeing the age all the infected to go up from the younger age groups now into the order that i dont race group and with that you are seeing. Being hospitalized and then as i said in a few weeks time the debt numbers will rise again on any increasing trajectory and that is almost inevitable especially as we now head into middle and then made or to made early winter that is quite a sensitive period to recrudescence it is extremely worrying gabriel i want to ask you about some of the regional differences weve seen particularly with the death toll it seems that asia has actually fared much better than the americas and europe how do you explain that. I think i think that its not just the its not just the dex dex is merely the tip of the iceberg so i think that noble line is the total number up in fiction. Lets say to east asia or for that matter that down on deck and australasia i think that those numbers are a fraction by well i dont know what youve been 2 orders of magnitude smaller then europe really america is on a per capita basis and therefore when you look at hospital admissions i see you admissions and then dex eventually those corresponding the scale and i think that it really depends on how hard you work tractable one of the restrictions to the north pharmaceutical interventions of testing tracing where one teeny and isolating ok and i think that. Very remarkable difference is between different regions in the road in terms of those key measures and in fact some of those that may reduce depending on the allocation on a global basis the 1st batches of vaccines as and when they become available i think starting towards the end to be a right the beginning of next year and even just a quick question on vaccines there we know that the number of vaccines are undergoing trials at the moment when they become available and are safe to use do you think that would really need the end of the pandemic. No i dont think that that would be the Silver Bullet that many are imagining or hoping people will i think that the 1st generation of back scenes with possibly one maximum 2 exceptions most of them good treatment of them i designed and made good as outcomes and licensed. To reduce disease severity not to stock Tribes Mission and so that is a very subtle but critical difference well have to leave it there gabriel then the dean of medicine at Hong Kong University thank you so much for joining us here in the w. Now germanys chancellor Angela Merkel will meet the countrys state leaders to discuss a new strategy for combating the pen demick backless warned that Current Trends could lead to a major spike in infection rates before the end of the year but just how ready is germany for a 2nd wave didnt you visited one doctor surgery in the center of berlin thats hoping to get ahead of the curve. 12 meters long and growing. Thats the length of todays line at a medical practice in berlin. People have come here to get tested for corona through the window no appointment necessary. I think its a really nice option doesnt take so much time and its it may be safer than going to a cost bottle and sitting in the close space where patients can be sick but here everything everyone is Wearing Masks and the just for the window so i think its really nice that the doctors ability cuts and runs the practice shes bracing herself for a harsh corona winter with many more patients to deal with. Any time you want my advice i dont want to be a prophet of doom and gloom but the numbers are clearly going up we all want to prevent another lockdown so we dont want to have to close the schools again somehow weve got to get through this winter. To prepare for whats coming germany wants to set up more testing stations they would receive people running at a High Temperature or with other corona symptoms additionally the Public Health office which tracks infected people was promised more personnel but that has yet to materialize. And the politicians have pledged to bolster the Health Authorities over the next 5 years this requires the creation of 5000 new jobs but now as october and november approach the jobs dont yet exist in the Health Offices this is a problem that urgently needs to be addressed. But instead of relying solely on Germanys Health care and tracking system dr cuts and would rather make testing at home possible. If you miss a good movie youll have to be given the chance to do a test without a doctor to go to the pharmacy and buy a test although they do not guarantee 100 percent accuracy and they provide an excellent indicator and are absolutely adequate from an epidemiological point of view because. The swap test involves taking a sample between the nose and mouth it shows the result within 15 minutes without sending the sample to a laboratory in germany though only doctors and pharmacists are allowed to order them should infections start rising sharply in winter they might be an alternative to long lines in the cold as we mentioned chancellor merkel as needing regional leaders today to hash out a new strategy to combat the virus Political Correspondent hans front tells us what to expect from that meeting. Well there have been some leaks about what is likely to be decided today and it looks as though the restrictions will be tightened again what theyre talking about is the number of people that are allowed to attend private parties for instance will be restricted to a 25 and public gatherings to 50 the background to this is that in recent months or in recent weeks the number of infections have risen is specially because of gathering such as the religious gatherings. Waiting parties birthday parties in other words things that are happening really outside public control in private in private circumstances but these kinds of gatherings ought to be restricted we have to say however that there is some dispute between the various regions the 16 federal states and germany amongst each other there is a push to have these rules imposed for the whole of germany but especially the rural federal states feel that in their cases where the number of covered cases are very low applying such strict measures would not be reasonable so there is some dispute going on about whether this will be for the whole of germany or not. Hans front reporting there lets take a look now at some other stories making headlines around the world human Rights Watchdog Amnesty International says it is halting its operation in india after what it calls a witch hunt and reprisals from the government Amnesty International said in a statement that the Indian Government had frozen its accounts and the organization has now paused all research and campaign back in the country. French president emmanuel in my car has met valorously an opposition leader. During his visit to lithuania she said also fled belarus in august after a disputed election she told journalists after the meeting that michael had promised to help mediate the political standoff and balanced and secure the release of political prisoners. French police have dismantled up migrant camp in the northern port town of callender the makeshift camp was home to about 800. 00 migrants mostly from iraq afghanistan sudan and eritrea every year thousands of migrants tried across the English Channel to reach the u. K. And protesters clashed with police in mexico city as hundreds of women marched through the capitol demanding the decriminalization of abortion ranks of female Police Officers used pepper spray against the demonstrators abortion is banned in most of mexico except under certain circumstances like sexual assault. Germanys chancellor merkel and u. S. Secretary of state mike pump aoe have both called for an immediate cease fire in the disputed territory of nagornokarabakh in the caucasus michael following the leaders of both our media and azerbaijan the 2 countries are now engaged in a 3rd day of fighting over the region it lies within the azerbaijan but has been under the control of Ethnic Armenian forces since 1994. These scenes have put the International Community on edge. But for the residents of both mania and as a by xan they have been a long time coming. Was a little the as i by johnny ami will win this war and we will return to our historical lands. As it is that victory is our as if my country needs me as a soldier i am ready even at my age. Of course we are afraid of a long war but the civilian population and the military must be ready for it although it is better to be free later than to continue this false pace. The focus of the fighting is the goal in a car back region the dispute itself is decades old beginning in the early 1990 s. When the ethnically armenian region declared independence from us of i shall and that independence has never been recognized by the International Community which is urging for calm from both sides. The secretary general strongly called on all the sides true mediately stop fighting deescalate tension and returned to meaningful negotiations without preconditions or delay World Leaders fear the fighting could lead to full scale conflict which destabilizes the south caucasus region a kargil for pipelines carrying oil and gas to World Markets regional players like russia and turkey also at risk of becoming in broiled in the conflict and escalating it further. And that is that today we are at the side of our azerbaijani brother and in the defense of their homeland mania Must Immediately cease its attacks and send back the mess in areas that it brought from abroad talk with dozens of people have been killed so far including civilians and hundreds more wounded at the request of germany and france the Un Security Council is expected to hold emergency talks on choose day but with both sides accusing the other of starting the battle and of continuing to use heavy artillery acquitting claim break from the violence seems unlikely. U. S. President donald trump and his opponent joe biden are preparing for their 1st t. V. Debate due to take place later on tuesday after the revelations by the New York Times many voters want to know how trump will deal with the investigation into his tax records the times story suggests that the selfproclaimed billionaire and savvy dealmaker may actually face a nightmare of bad deals and unpaid taxes totaling hundreds of millions of dollars trump denies assertions. Donald trump compromised thoughts among the many questions being asked after all a gay sions of marriage that the u. S. President is liable for almost half a 1000000000. 00 in loans.
