We collect information on confirmed cases of covid19. Count excess mortality in those numbers you see every day. If anything, the numbers that are currently reported probably represent an underestimate of those individuals who have either contracted covid19 or have died as a cause of it. Host 33 million infections have been read worldwide. The u. S. , india, and brazil are the hardest it, with 17 million cases between them. Infections are once again accelerating across europe after a summer of lucent resurgence. Tighter measures are being imposed in parts of spain, france and belgium, while tens of millions are under local lockdown and the u. K. The u. S. Has recorded the largest share of those deaths, with more than 200,000 for tallies. Under fire over his handling of the pandemic, President Donald Trump announced millions of test kits we sent out across the country and warns a rise in cases is likely in the days ahead. Last week we crossed a historic milestone when the u. S. Conducted our 100 millionth test, far more than any other country. Not even close, actually. Second seems to be india with 1. 5 Million People and the numbers will probably be 50 million more tests by us. We have conducted more tests than the entire European Union and more than all of latin america combined. Host our White House Correspondent has more. Reporter his administration will immediately begin dispatching 150 million rapid tests as they are known. You can get results in about 15 minutes. Those would be dispatched to communities across the u. S. Being put through the governors of the respective states. It will go to communities of color, nursing homes. The goal is to try and get students back to work and economies back to normal. We should point out the u. S. President ate almost an identical announcement back in august with regard to this. What this appears to be is another incremental step in the president s push to reopen the economy. Particularly in advance of the u. S. Election. But many are arguing why was this not done so much sooner . It would have spared so much of the social misfortune has taken place in the u. S. As a result of the shop downs of these shutdowns that have been going on for a prolonged period of time. We know the team of joe biden, the democratic president ial nominee, is planning on hitting the president hard.

Nagornokarabakh say at least 26 more of its troops have been killed. The International Community is calling for an immediate ceasefire and a negotiated settlement. Here is a report. Reporter summoned to war. These armenian reservists are leaving the capital. The president called all men into military service after fighting erupted on sunday over the disputed region of nagornokarabakh. Line, armenia says it is repelling attacks and what both sides are calling a war. The last time they fought, a 1990sr was in the early after the collapse of the soviet union. Some 20,000 people were killed. A ceasefire was brokered in 1994, but sporadic fighting has continued ever since. Russia, traditionally armenias ally in the region, has called for calm. We continue to monitor the situation very closely. We believe that the military operation should be stopped immediately, and the process of resolving this conflict, as well is the consequences of flare up, should be resolved by political and diplomatic means. Reporter but armenian Officials Say turkeys involvement is untenable. I want to be clear that not only azerbaijan but also turkey is at war with us. Main modernng the weapons available. Reporter hospitals in the capital have received dozens of Wounded Soldiers and civilians. Patients were moved into bomb shelters. We have 30 wounded and their operations undergoing. The were evacuated into bunker and seriously ill people are in the hospital. We are working on high alert and are ready to receive the wounded. Reporter azerbaijan says armenian artillery struck well inside its territory. Five family members were killed, and many more were hurt. Armenia and azerbaijan are also waging an information war, releasing defense videos showing airstrikes, but without context, or making claims that have so far proven difficult to verify, such as turkeys military involvement, or the deployment by both sides of middle eastern mercenaries to the front lines. Regardless, the casualty rates are climbing. And so far, the International Response has yet to pull these armies back from the brink. Azerbaijan is denying accusations from armenia that it is using turkish fighters from syria in the conflict. The accusations are baseless and groundless. It is propaganda by the armenian side. To deflect attention from their side, and deflect their own responsibility. That brings teorists from middle eastern countries. Host turkey has pledged to stand by its ally, offering diplomatic and military support. Heres more from the capital. Reporter ankara has already shown it is siding with azerbaijan. So far, especially after the armenia attack in the area a couple weeks ago, the turkish president and defense minister have been solid about turkeys standing by azerbaijan until the very end, supporting them militarily and logistically. Turkey has a military base in azerbaijan and has a very Strong Military agreement between the two armies. So they support them with military logistics, drones, and other investments that turkey has been producing the last couple of years. And apparently the turkish drones were also used by the azerbaijan military during this conflict with the armenian side. They have been saying for the last couple of days, we are going to do what is necessary to be standing by azerbaijan, and because they are our brothers. Between turkey and azerbaijan there is a saying. We are one nation, but two different states. So you can imagine how turkey is committed to standing by azerbaijan.

And for trumps strongest supporters, many have been conditioned to believe that the New York Times is not a credible news outlet. Trump has said over and over again that that newspaper is fake news, without evidence. Its an open question of whether his supporters will believe this reporting, and even if they do, whether or not they will care, given they have long supported the president they view as eccentric with Business Practices out of the norm.
