President tests negative for codeine and pains is an unproven drug for his recovery. And u. S. Diplomats depart their closed consulate in chengdu as relations with china deteriorate. We begin with a spike in the number of new corona virus infections in spain outbreaks a prompted the u. K. Government to make a last minute decision to reimpose a 2 week south korean team for people who travel there and across the atlantic the u. S. Is experiencing record death tolls more on that in a minute but 1st some of the ngo has a story from europe. A Welcome Break on a beach in catalonia after an unprecedented lockdown would be difficult for most people to resist but amid these relaxed scenes and uncomfortable question is being asked is this the start of a 2nd wave of the pandemic on saturday almost 1500 new cases were recorded in the region most of them in and around the city of barcelona many of the new cases are young people showing mild or no symptoms at all it prompted a swift shutdown up. Night clubs throughout the region as well as a curfew on bars and concern among other European Countries of further outbreaks the u. K. s government announced on saturday that a 14 day quarantine period would be introduced for travellers returning from spain and in france there were requests to avoid travels to the country altogether so he saw the us. Concerning the situation in catalonia which is displaying worsened indicators for infection there as you know those who are going to get is are deteriorating we strongly encourage french citizens to avoid going there until the whole situation improves and. This is the high season for tourism and many working in the sector are already feeling that drastic impact of the pandemic you know thank you. In all the years that i have been here this is catastrophic things were good for a time over the past weeks but not now even 2 weeks ago you saw more people out but not now there is nothing or nothing. All over the country towns and cities are once again closing up after a much awaited easing of restrictions the last couple proper track and trace system is prompting an increase in infections around the country it was hoped that the summer would deliver a pause in the pandemic but the contagious nature of the krona virus seems to once again trump optimism of a rest any time soon sunny guy i go. Well the coronavirus pandemic shows no signs of slowing down in the us is recorded more than a 1000 deaths for the 4th straight day 74000 new infections reported nationally on friday one of the highest single day totals since the outbreak began the state of florida remains one of the worst hit areas with more than 12000 cases detected in the past day the top Infectious Diseases expert dr anthony found she has worn state governments to rollback on reopening to cope with a surge in lets cross live now to our teacher castro shes in maryland id so things are seem to go from bad to worse in florida 12000 new infections in the last 24 hours whats been happening that. Thats right of the death toll is rising in florida as well there and with one person in florida dying every 10 minutes now this was one of the 1st states to reopen its economy its governor rick to santa is a strong supporter of President Trump in fact still receiving praise from the president for his handling of this pandemic but critics have said that the reopening of florida was essentially an experiment with peoples lives and that these figures were seen now are evidence that this experiment is failing not only in florida but also many other states in the sunbelt of United States that includes california believe viana and texas particularly in the southernmost part of texas along its border with mexico were seeing dire situations where that region which was already impoverished of resources now hospitals theyre begging for more supplies we know the military has added some resources there as well as well as were projected morgue trucks parked behind the hospitals unfortunately those scenes play now 1st we saw that in new york now in the southern parts of the United States as these figures of infections and deaths continue to take higher yes heidi the big picture youre saying that this i mean this week the usa passed the 4000000 cases milestone over a 1000 cases of deaths a day even President Trump has conceded things will get worse before they get better. Thats right but youve also seen him go back and forth in his latest Coronavirus Briefing in which he personally attended he also downplayed the risks saying much of the country looked like it was having no problem at all and the hot spots would have problems that just result themselves certainly attempting again to paint a rosy picture but polling shows that americans are simply no longer responding to that message from the president there is a heavy sense of disapproval of the way trump has handled the current virus pandemic in fact his polling shows him trailing the democratic challenger for President Joe Biden trailing in some polls by double digits most of that driven by the way that americans are perceiving his mis handling of this pandemic alright to castro there in maryland thank you for coming here is a scene from the collector a university of Exeter Medical school he says many countries have prioritize the economy over containing the pandemic. I personally feel this is a continuation of the pandemic rather than a start of a new wave the the number of cases only went down because we went into a lockdown but when we went into lockdown the case numbers were down but they were not 0 or they were not in perspective really low and what happens when the viruses out there in say collation and then you start opening up things like night clubs socializing meeting in restaurants clubs bars clubs etc and pretending this is the important bit and pretending that its all over let us resume because we need the economy to run unfortunately we get this huge number of new cases created we must accept that the virus is in say collation we must open they kaname but we must be very very careful why are we not doing this baffles me and i worry about the United States United Kingdom europe and the rest of the world there has been a pressure from the economy side to open up and i feel for example the United Kingdom opened up prematurely and i feel the house and the economy should run together which is we Work Together on how we open it safely rather than open it prematurely and unsafely.
