The u. S. Policing. Dozens of for him to refugees finally make it ashore in indonesia after a rescue Mission Launched by local fishermen. Thanks for joining us we begin in the United States thats where a texas has halted the phased easing of virus restrictions following a sharp rise in infections a record one day rising cases was reported right across the country on wednesday almost 37000 cases were confirmed thats the highest number since the start of the pandemic cases have been on a downward trajectory since late april but theyve roared back in recent weeks after restrictions were. The resurgence is concentrated largely in the south and west more than 2300000 americans have been infected and about 122000 have died. Well florida is one of the states experiencing a significant increase in cases after easing locked on restrictions where the 100000 and factions have been reported at the states governor is defending his reopening strategy and gallagher reports from miami. Some call this a reckless reopening others a much needed reboot of the economy floridas now shouted its own record with over 5000 new code 1000 cases reported in a single day state Officials Say increased testing is partly responsible for the alarming surge in a state where over 3000 people have lost their lives since reopening floridas seen younger people infected increased hospital admissions and less social distancing all of which doctors say shows a dangerous trend its truly an increase in the percent of people who are becoming infected with this virus and that serious and it will infect anybody any age any belief system any political. Viewpoint whatever the virus doesnt care about any of that it simply wants to get a one. Republican governor on dissenters has issued orders on social distancing and reducing occupancy at newly opened businesses but has refused to mandate the use of masks think we just got to trust people that you know given the opportunity to do to do the good things i take it make good decisions i think that that tends to work better then to mandate this mandate that here in Miami Dade County officials are taking a different approach now requiring masks to be worn in public at all times they say those rules are 0 tolerance the message here then is one of enforcement and not guidance although theres no talk of a 2nd shutdown other critics accuse the governor of manipulating data to make the case for reopening floridas economy one former employer. Now built her own coronavirus website after being fired by the Florida Department of health she says she was no longer willing to massage the data the state says she didnt listen to his superiors i dont need to be the person who manually gone in and change data to say hey this is the most trusted resource for information in this state and it says that its because it did. So now i do it again Officials Say younger people getting the virus means shorter hospital stays but in a state with a large Elderly Population florida is facing a potentially deadly resurgence of the corona virus and a gallacher aljazeera Miami Florida lets bring in alan fresh for his joining us from just outside the white house and the u. S. President alimentation that the reason cases are going up in parts of the u. S. Is because of increased testing. And hes tweeted that again just in the last couple of hours as he makes his way to wisconsin a place there is also seeing a surge in cases many people making the analogy that if you dont test for pregnancy then the number of pregnancies will fall thats how they think that Donald Trumps mind works that so theyre trying to say that its a ridiculous argument to make you remember that donald trump said that he ordered his staff to start slowing down on testing because they were getting too many cases the white house then said it was a joke that wasnt the case donald trump said he never jokes and then we had from the Administration Just on whedons day that they were going to essentially do away with federal testing in many areas no that has provoked a backlash particularly from the 2 senators down in texas who as you rightly point out are seeing a huge surge in the number of cases they say that perhaps the Administration Needs to rethink that at the moment donald trump hasnt made any comment on that but its the sort of thing he tends to back away from when he realizes theres a backlash that might actually impact republicans and so that may well be rethought laddie kudlow whos a Senior Adviser to the president particularly on the economy said just 24 hours ago there isnt going to be another shutdown but if you look at the states texas case is up california cases up arizona cases up new york the cases are down and thats why the governor there said that red states republican states had gambled with reopening the states too soon i know they were paying the price and allen now report from the governments own centers for Disease Control and prevention thats the c. D. C. Of course and says the number of americans infected may actually be much higher what are they basing that on. Well theyve been saying this for a little while but the putting more flesh on the bones theyre saying that theyre suggesting that a number of states are reporting possible cases and that means the undercoating could be somewhere in the region of 10 times less so were looking at about 2000000. 00 cases in the United States at the moment theyre saying there could be 20000000. 00 and they see 28. 00 states are doing this under code 26 of them have seen a surge in cases just in the last 48 hours or so the states that they talk about california texas florida and again new york but these see this means that the virus is around in the community and were seeing here just in washington d. C. In maryland and virginia the 2 states that are closest to the district that theyre talking about easing restrictions suddenly a number of states are looking again at that situation because they dont want to look like texas or florida where they push the opening to restart the economy and then suddenly find they have to start rolling things back because of another surge in cases a 2nd wave if you will all right alan fischer reporting from outside the white house allan thank you. Well speaking of a surge in cases india has seen a Record Number of new virus infections for a 2nd consecutive day with almost 17000 reported in just the last 24 hours the country now has over 473000 cases and almost 15000 people have died after contracting the disease the capital new delhi is causing a major concern and our fortys will carry out a home screening over the next 2 weeks the government predicts cases in the capital could expand to more than half a 1000000 by late july europe has seen an increase in weekly virus cases for the 1st time in months the World Health Organization says several countries are experiencing accelerated transmission of the virus which could have dire consequences.
