A handful of cases inching down have tested positive so far and get the latest from china plus bangladesh brings in the Death Penalty for rape after a series of brutal sex attacks activists say a culture of impunity has protected perpetrators. Flow in turkey martin good to have you with us u. S. President donald trump has held his 1st election rally since contracting coded 19 trump flew to florida the 1st of 4 battleground states hes planning to visit over the next 4 days with just 3 weeks to go until the election democratic candidate joe biden is ahead in several National Polls and is outspending his republican rival both contenders have held very different bets in key swing states. Back on the campaign trail after his own brush with a witness donald trump is no trying to revive his reelection fortunes. Trump tossed masks from the stage at the 1st of several events this week. Following attendee separation from his hardcore fans it appears absence makes the heart grow fonder. I went through it now they say im a mutant i can feel i feel so powerful ill walk in the body i walk in there all kiss everyone. While the thought lingered sought to alleviate any concerns the tightly packed crowd to me have about catching the virus. That i said to my people were going to take whatever theyre oh they gave me and were going to distribute it around aspinalls it everyones going to have the same. Thing. Reinvigorated trump wrapped up the rally dancing with the crowd even as the tone jarred with a country in crisis. The contrast with democratic nominee joe biden couldnt have been stuck on visited another battleground state or one of several essentially distance events across ohio he attacked trumps handling of the pandemic last Donald Trumps presidency 250000 dead because of Group Experts say were likely to lose another 200000 people in the next few months unless we take some serious action and he doesnt know what hes doing. All because his presence only worried about one thing the stock market refused to follow the science its estimated we just warnings mass nationally we save over 100000. 00 lives between now and the end of the year. Biden himself is now heading to florida with the election day just 3 weeks away both campaigns are in overdrive. Well lets bring in de w. Is william glue crofter William Trump seems to be in fighting form again what are his doctors saying and when trump says to the American People that im going to get the same treatment for you that i got should they believe him well thats would be a difficult claim as as is the fact that hes negative his doctors did say before the florida event that he was negative but theres a lot of questions about exactly what kind of tests and how many tests and when the who the hows and wherefores of him being negative are still very much a matter of speculation theres thought that he was only getting these rapid tests which are far less reliable than a p. C. R. Test and its a p. C. R. Test that you need to show your negative to really claim and confirm that your negative and as far as the Health Insurance issue you know the United States has phenomenal health care but it has Terrible Health access you know america has great hospitals and doctors and research and medicines and if everybody got the kind of care that donald trump was able to get sure coronavirus might not be such a big deal but if everybody in america was even theoretically able to have that kind of Health Care Access it would also crush the Health Care System because not everyone can have that kind of interval individualized attention and all the medicines he got some of which for experimental so its really a far cry to look at the kind of care the president got the kind of care that average americans get right when as we see in the senate right now with these Judiciary Committee hearings the main issue with especially the democrats are bringing up is Health Access and health care which is coming up to the Supreme Court that could be struck down as unconstitutional. Isnt florida has been in florida hes putting a lot of emphasis on that state he seems to feel he needs to win it how important is florida in this election i think anyone who follows president ial elections knows that florida is an important state interesting state always causing some trouble for the campaigns we know the infamous case in 2000 where really came down to a few 100 votes in florida is a very important state 29 electoral votes often razor thin margins regardless of who wins and thats because florida is a very diverse state you have a large Jewish Population of large l g b t 2 populations you have very rural conservative voters you have cuban vote a large Cuban Community and they tend to be the most conservative of latino voting groups so its a very interesting diverse mix of people and thats what causes these razor thin margins but it should be noted that biden in a composite of polling is up 4. 00 to 5. 00 points in florida so regardless of the pictures that we saw there in the rally that might not be what many floridians are thinking so biden is looking pretty good in florida hes looking pretty good over the whole country of course with some exceptions but overall biden has a strong lead over trump what does he need to do to keep it thats right biden is up nationally is up by about 10 points and in many of the key swing states hes up anywhere from 5 to 10 points right now looks very difficult how this doesnt state as far as polling data goes doesnt stay in bidens favor biden would really have to put his foot in his mouth which he does have a history of doing we should note but would really have to do something insane for these kinds of polls to really change back towards trumps favor but we should also note that these polls were also in Hillary Clintons favor of 2016 and the probability is another another question to look at probability right now has trump excuse me has by then with about an 86 percent favor billy of winning this election which is better than Hillary Clinton thats a 16 when i was about a 7030 split between clinton and trump but we should by no means be calling the election 3 weeks before it actually happens 3 weeks is a long time and all of the 6 william gluco from our team covering the u. S. Elections thanks so much. Its like some other stories making news around the world today the u. S. Senate has opened hearings into the confirmation of President Trump Supreme Court nominee Amy Kone Barrett republicans are pushing to fill the vacant seat before next months election if confirmed barrett would reinforce the conservative tilt of americas highest quite well asian Opposition Leader a for him has met with the king in a bid to prove he has the support needed to prime minister. Last month and war declared he had the numbers in the parliament to form a new government the country has been in turmoil since the government collapsed in february amid infighting. And several flash flooding flash flooding in cambodia has killed at least 10 people and forced thousands to evacuate seasonal rains have been exacerbated by tropical storms across the region thailand laos and vietnam have also been affected china is testing more than 9000000 residents of the city of qingdao after a small cluster of corona virus was detected there Authorities Say more than 3000000 samples have already been collected and that the more than 1000000 results so far received only 12 have come back positive john a says its been largely coronavirus free since mid august with all reported cases coming from outside the country this latest outbreak has been linked to a hospital that had been treating imported code cases. Lets bring in correspondent ts berlinger hes in beijing for us good to see him it is the National Health Commission Said that quote the whole city will be tested within 5 days were talking 9000000. 00 people hows that supposed to happen. China has impressive testing capacities they have tested the whole city off one which had even slightly more people 11000000 not in 5 days but a few more what they do in these cases is they pool the samples and test them in batches and then if the whole batch is negative they can all be considered negative if that batch has one positive case then the whole batch will test positive and they will have to retest these samples. That way they can do a lot of process a lot they will off course get a lot of assistance from laboratories all over the country. The fact that they have these singular outbreaks of course allows them to concentrate on these outbreaks and to get this testing done quickly and system that is pay in place in china where every household is registered to a Committee Also allows them to keep it pretty good track of who has already tested and who has not. The new case is meant here is they come just days after chinas golden week holiday when people travel across the country are chinese authorities keeping track of all those people. Well chinese authorities collect a lot of data for example every train ticket every plane ticket and every night spent in a hotel is registered in the Police Computers i dont know whether they are going to mobilize the state of for for this purpose they also have these apps everywhere where you need to scan a code when you enter facility a restaurant or whatever Shopping Center and this app then theoretically registers you to that place and if there was somebody phone positive way to also visited that place they would theoretically be able to track you down now with these apps its a bit more complicated because every province has their own and theyre enforced sometimes more thoughtfully sometimes more leniently so i dont know whether these apps who do not really do geo tracking but only these registrations whether these apps will help them to find everybody one has potentially been in contact with these 12 cases or how many there will be turning out but there is a lot of Data Collection going on and tracking so far has really worked not to mount in cases that weve seen before at least spreads were brought under control all brakes were brought under control quickly. But is thank you very much for bringing us up to date there that was mathias piling up in beijing so far germany has whether the great a virus and have it better than many of its european neighbors but the number of new hotspots here is increasing especially in the big cities politicians have brought in a range of new restrictions which often differ from one state to another critics complain that the rules or confusing. 2 weeks of fall vacations are in full swing for many people across germany but travel will be difficult this year especially for those living in the countrys socalled corona virus risk areas. Various areas have surpassed the threshold of 50 infections per 100000 residents over one week including german cities like berlin munich frankfurt and cologne. To try to stop the spread of the virus many german states have introduced travel restrictions for people who live in the risk areas in these states they cant stay in hotels or guest houses unless they show a negative covert 19 tests no older than 48 hours or quarantine for 14 days but other states havent imposed restrictions the picture is chaotic making it hard for people in germany to understand where they can travel to and under what conditions the federal government is the fending the measure but critics say the Domestic Travel restrictions wont help stop the pandemic and will put a strain on germanys testing system. In my opinion really a reasonable. Measure because most travelers are no really infectious so they are low risk. Of very important and very very p. C. R. Tests in order to make sure that. It is also very burdensome for the travelers and it is basically useless for controlling penned in germany. The new restrictions have disrupted travel plans at a time when many families across the country normally go on vacation people are frustrated by the lack of clarity. On the one hand i think its confusing for example i live in brandenburg and work in berlin and sometimes i wonder which rules apply where this always leads to some confusion and i would have liked more consistent rules i would prefer some uniform rules citizens would be more aware and maybe the rules would be communicated better. And if people understood the measures better maybe more would respect them. German chancellor Angela Merkel will meet with state leaders on wednesday as. It is im of the accommodation band grows they will try to bring some order to the chaos.

Now a new play has opened in moscow about the last leader of the soviet Union Mikhail gorbachev while russias current president Vladimir Putin fights to keep the soviet sphere of influence alive the play gorbachev for treys a very different leader a man who gave up power and let the communist bloc dissolve gorbachev himself was a preview. Would be great if i remember everything. Memories of the life of one of historys greats gorbachev from a balcony seat the 89 year old watched his own life play out on stage at the moscow theater of nations the play that was supposed to be a love story between michelle and his wife raisa became much more its the story of an entire country and the era during which gorbachev was in charge. Of what he to hes a visionary politicians none of us can come close to that one day his name will be written in gold lettering. 2 actors wigs and dozens of anecdotes from an eventful life together if getting near enough on comma tova play a couple who from early on dream of a better free your future everything seems to go according to plan the young Party Official hopeful from the countryside is given a post in moscow he rises to the ranks to become head of the communist party and then president of the soviet union. He dares to do what no one has done before reform the soviet union. In 1906 cover tough began his restructuring his perestroika risking what Many Russians still cant forgive him for today the collapse of the soviet union acclaimed in the west tough remains a polarizing figure in his own country. So it was as a politician he did a lot of bad things for russia. That im not. Its not good if a country isnt moving ahead to something a better word i want our country the soviet union was stagnant. The old times were not good. For us. Thanks to him we were able to free ourselves from the big prison that we were all in back then we helped russia will one day become a gorbachev was striving for. In the play about the statesman who brought freedom to his people there is no reference to todays russia no reference to the terrible disappointment that has still not been forgotten almost 30 years after gov charts resignation. I was a young woman when perestroika came and back then i was promised a whole new world a world with a functioning freedom of the press freedom of assembly and rights to sexual and gender selfdetermination the world that was promised to me then has nothing to do with the world today with 3 years of we see chess the climax of the play is the death of me why from cancer and the turning point of his career the last chapter is called gorbachev and solitude the theater may be filled with enthusiastic applause but in real life things quickly became quite lonely around michelle you cover chaff and history of a better freer russia to.
