Shock and disappointment as well but the overriding emotion here is shock followed by grief of course i mean you must understand that vienna has to be expedient Something Like this the last time they had attended a tackle of such a back to do it or any incident such as this was nearly 40 years ago so this comes as a very rude shock a very rude awakening for this country and also for this city and just to sort of give you an idea of how shocking this is for the indies and for this country im standing right now i dont want to step on spots Stephon Square which is essentially almost in the middle of the city and the square that you see in the distance behind me is only just chock full with people at the moment it is virtually empty that is the extent of the shock that people are experiencing over here im standing in front of also the well known stefans kick up where the bells are going off at the moment this is were talking about the heart of here and this is what was attacked and this is something that is hard for the people in this city to abide by so talk about. A little bit about what leadership there in the country has been saying as the chancellor has been speaking today addressing this attack what has he been saying. The president could say i made a very short speech but a rather emotional one in which he assured citizens that are austria will defend peace and democracy and that islam has no place in austria but this is of course along with the 3 days of National Mourning that austria has declared for which you had a minute of silence just a short while back just to give you a broader context of how important and significant these d. V. D. s of National Mourning is the last time austria saw Something Like this was way back in 2004 when austin played president thomas glass still passed away so its been that long that it was so many years back that australia speediest Something Like this and sebastian really driving the message home that austria will defend its freedoms and its democracy against any form of attack any form of a threat that the country faces and so must include also thanking all those European Partners and nations around the world that have expressed solidarity with the austrian people in this moment of crisis be rash briefly what more do we know about the attackers. So far we know that. The attacker is apparently a 20 year old man here at austin citizenship apparently not mr tony and roots beyond this the police are not saying very much they do say however that he seemed to have islamic sympathies and appeared to have been radicalized in some way and some sort of a connection with the Islamic State ideology has been made about 15 how searches have been conducted and some people have been arrested in russia venner ji joining us from vienna thank you. Well the final day of voting has begun in one of the most anticipated and polarized u. S. President ial elections ever it takes place a bit record early voting and a campaign marred by the president s allegations of foul play on the eve of the election donald trump and his democratic challenger joe biden made their final pitches to voters made aware of the torah for swing states telling voters that he would win again despite predicting his defeat 5 while focused on ohio and pennsylvania he told voters quote it is time to end the chaos of the past 4 years. Donald trump and joe biden have vastly different backgrounds and present starkly different visions for the u. S. Lets look at the choice facing American Voters today. One has dedicated his life to public service. The other dedicated his 2 winning. 2 men with contrast in style. And competing visions of the future. We choose hope over fear unity over Division Science over friction and yes over a law this election is a choice between a trump super recovery which were in right now or a divided depression. Joseph biden story is one of triumph and tragedy of overcoming a childhood stutter to reach the u. S. Senate just 30 years old only to lose his wife and daughter in a car accident weeks later. In 2015 by who was again left bereft when his son beau died of brain cancer. I found the best way through pain and loss and grief is to find purpose. Donald trump inherited a new York Real Estate empire and turned the neve into a brand. His life of waiting his call. 2 parties on my with some affairs were talk of the town. Gossip followed him everywhere im sawtooth did bankruptcys. Shot just as much. But it was a hit t. V. Show the apprentice that reversed his fortunes the push to trump from hapless new york businessman to long shot president ial hopeful. Over to a vast citys all white men in their seventys the similarities end there for decades biden rode the train to work. While trump enjoys the trappings of wealth. Biden spent his career shaping his Foreign Policy beliefs. And forging friendships are broad. Conspiracy theories about barack obama our president has finally released a birth certificate and run for office on a nationalist take it for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the United States so help me god contrary arrived promising isolationism. Its going to be only america 1st which saw him embrace dictators and foods while pushing me to allies around he told a deal after deal. I am announcing today the United States will withdraw from the Iran Nuclear Deal from the paris. Climate a court. Staged on treaties with russia. So were going to terminate agreement were going to pull out hes gone where few president s have he was impeached and he repeatedly cozied up to violent white supremacists. Very fine people on both sides. Providing america 1st means america alone hes on a mission to rewind to trump years and hes hoping his folksy appeal will win over swing voters. We are in the battle for the solution and she. Knew he too is no stranger to fighting talk during this big rita but youre wrong. When he sticks to the script his pitches the after 4 years of chaos on hundreds of thousands of crude 90 day he is uniquely placed to mend the country for the soul of this very good job of a president to hear. The Trump Campaign by contrast has been lights on unity and heavy on a mission for mission for the president this is about coming fast at any cost. Reject left wing fascism vote for American Freedom vote for america 1st vote for make America Great again. Both candidates have cost themselves as americas salvation but the truth is in this high stakes bottle the result will reverberate well beyond her borders. Americans heading to the polls today lets get more were joined by liz shoka u. S. Policy analyst here in the studio welcome to the program thank you for having me youve been watching us politics very closely what is different about this election i think one of the most exciting things to happen in this election is the mobilization people that have never been involved all the sudden have access to virtual phone banks socially distance can be saying so i think the sheer force of people on the ground is absolutely different in just bringing in a whole new set of voters who have never been activated before but i also think theres never been a more polarizing election and the stakes feel really high both by who wins but also what happens after top of this a little bit more about the polarization because that s. Of course been a long term trend of us that is nothing new it as a trend but it has accelerated over the past. For years has. Absolutely i think when folks are suffering they look for change and they look for answers and what happened is trump took absolute advantage of folks that were feeling like us versus them their way of life is changing jobs or changing their future or security is not the same and so they need a scapegoat they need someone to blame on the verse is that you have the left kind of feeling more and more disenfranchised from the right they no longer see that Common Ground that its so famous for you dont have that middle swing voter people are really entrenched and unfortunately the media plays a huge role in that people really become siloed they really only listen to their media and get their feedback and get real fired up in these chambers that just makes the distance between both sides bigger every day and thats just its also very apparent internationally we know that the world is watching this election you actually went out on the streets all over the world and got some perspective lets have a listen and then well get your reaction. When because i really see him as a passion whose interest is in his country a north korean politics are trying to do something to benefit. But official by the military i wouldnt like donald trump to win because his immigration policies are very strict and hes separating many families for the moment being i know that biden is ahead of trump but it doesnt mean anything like last time hillary was ahead but still won so i can only hope and pray that trump will not have a 2nd term i suppose because im a businessman. The country you need to be a businessman i dont think trump is going to be elections why because trump is out of guns. And i dont. I hope that democracy prevails and the majority are there this is sure. Whatever it may be. Elections would bring a new president who was able and then told us the same. America relationship. Class. Issues relating to older middle east some problems which is very important and the problem being donor trump would be revealing because i dont think your vision is anywhere close to winning and the kind of work is done for america and thats been groups if you dont reform i hope that dump loses big time i think he should write a book on how to destroy a country in 40 years 100 destroy a country in 40 years which is what hes done i dont care who wins the americans win the baseness. I dont have expectations i just hope the relationship between the u. S. And china will be peaceful louies and that you dont do the dont you know i saw in terms of politics not many thing taiwan can benefit more if trump wins you know turn to delphi and think i know why but just because hes more than i have a job he tends to balance china. It doesnt matter who wins who are their unpredictable and a bit sit removed we know that u. S. President s are just puppets you should be going to streams of voice so i have no expectation. But some really interesting perspectives from around the world we have to say there is interest certainly in this election to what extent has Foreign Policy been present on the campaign trail to what extent is it part of what voters are looking at when they do go to the polls so i think what were seeing from the biden camp is a director a bottle of the last 4 years were talking about saving the american reputation abroad however im just not sure when theres an economic crisis and a Health Crisis happening at the same time voters have Foreign Policy at the top of their agenda theres been a lot of conversation i love some of the reactions from folks in iran and china and those those issues are absolutely present in voters minds but i worry that sometimes its less about the nuance that is required in Foreign Policy and more and us versus them mentality thats happening on one side where. Its america 1st and so thats driving a certain set of the voters to the polls this election extraordinary in so many ways not least of which the fact that its taking place during a pandemic that means that some of the results might be delayed in some states what do you expect if the result is narrow if the results is delayed i think were in for several days i know both sides have been absolutely mobilizing their lawyers i heard talk of the biden camp mobilizing or going to events and volunteers around protecting the vote theres a Huge Campaign right now to wait for the results i think theres a push to recognise a lot of misinformation might be out there and we really do have to weigh i recently read that theyre probably not to call pennsylvania before friday. And thats the most likely Tipping Point state and so we have to wait on the actual real results not jump on the 1st minute misinformation that might happen and hope that folks kind of have that patience and dont just react suddenly thank you so much u. S. Policy analyst today on the day when americans go to the polls to vote for the new us president we appreciate it thank you for having me lets take a look now at some other stories making news around the world a 4 Year Old Girl has been rescued from the rubble of destroyed buildings in western turkey almost 4 days after a large earthquake hit the death toll in the quake has now reached 102 with more than a 1000 injured 2 children were rescued from the debris on monday. 7 the French Defense minister a floor on subpar lease says that her countrys forces have killed more than 50 jihad as along with al qaida in airstrikes in mali french Authorities Say that the offensive took place on friday in an area near the borders of turkey to fast so and the share where Government Troops are struggling to rout and islamic insurgency womens groups in poland to have protested for a 12 straight day over a Constitutional Court ruling banning abortions in a case of fetal defects that was one of the last legal grounds to end a pregnancy in the staunchly catholic country the protests have given voice to broader anger at polands conservative government. Well germanys intensive care units are bracing for an expected increase in cold that patience as the number of new infections hits record levels germany has weathered the pandemic so far without pushing its hospitals to limit but now the country has gone back into a partial lockdown in the hope of heading off what chancellor merkel called an acute emergency situation. This patient has been in a coma for over a week his condition is so serious that he has to be artificially ventilated is 48 years old and one of 19 intensive care patients at this hospital in are one the 2nd wave of covert 19 has arrived and its different to the 1st. Ringback in the area where we have a lot of older patients in the 1st wave some young ones too but now theyre almost all young which means age 15 or younger. And theres another difference to what happened in spring the hospital is treating more seriously ill patients from neighboring belgium the hospitals head of medicine says belgium took too long to introduce new stricter measures against kind of it. Belgium is an example of what happens when these decisions are made too late there isnt enough capacity so were taking in more and more belgian patients. And during the 1st wave just under 50 patients were on ventilators at this hospital at any one time putting a huge strain on all the staff but theyre benefiting now from the huge amount of experience they gained. We had standardized procedures last time. I will reactivate in those standardized procedures having these standards is very beneficial even if we get more patients we can just implement them. How well the system copes with the 2nd wave also depends on staff availability and there are shortages already caused by start getting infected with the virus or having to go into quarantine. And those on the frontline of the fight against covert havent really recovered from the 1st wave. And were in summer even if we had Vacation Time we were here there was no real time off and after the 1st wave we still had to deal with normal cases and also all the paperwork that was left from the 1st wave no i guess because. Theres little time to relax because the number of patients who are seriously ill with covert 19 is set a rise again experience to show that 2 percent of patients end up in intensive care. And so there will be more im expecting more intensive care patients than in the 1st wave. They were just under 3000. 00 then im afraid its going to be more this time. Here in our hand theyre hoping to rise to the challenge all the way through the 2nd wave but the demands on all of them will be great. The pandemic has forced many sporting events to take place behind closed doors some have been postponed like the 2020 tokyo a lympics theyre now scheduled to take place in 2021 and japan is testing to see how they can make it safe for the krauts to that and a baseball stadium in yokohama was turned into a testing ground for 3 days with 28000 people and attend. The Yokohama Base stars have 2 goals to win games and to try to get the upper hand on coronavirus the fact that their stadium was on one day almost 90 percent full is the result of a technological home run and also thanks to almost 28000. 00 test subjects. Mock took. You feel a bit on easy about it however having a lot of fans certainly helps the players on this. Goes who take part in the testing get a 35 Percent Discount on their tickets as well as having 2 apps kick in the National Corona app is mandatory as is a 2nd one from a private provider which inquires about your health 10 days prior to the game and 14 days after. We stay in contact with the olympic organizers theyre very interested in the data as we send it to them without names were doing everything to ensure that the games will take place next year it will get better because it will make up the. Monitoring devices are placed in the stands to measure a lot of people a lot of cheering and a lot of Carbon Dioxide add to that wind intensity and velocity and experts can already figure out where fan density is too high making the dangerous spread of the virus possible and at the stadium crowding is also an issue for washrooms but a Digital Guide post will show you the way sending you a chat function via infrared waves radio and t. V. All in real time. So that you dont and i mean weve installed the guideposts at 39 locations at toilets. And shops so if you have to do something then just look at the map to see where theres a line up and
