We begin in iraq where Health Officials are warning that hospitals may lose control of the countrys corona Virus Outbreak within days more than 5000 new infections were recorded on friday the highest number so far it was down slightly on saturday the Health Ministry is blaming much of the spike on a recent religious event at other gatherings where people were not Wearing Masks or observing social distance.

Well theres a slight decrease over the past 24 hours as opposed to the numbers that came out on friday just over 4600 new confirmed cases across the country and 63 people have died in the past 24 hours as a result of code related issues but these figures are an indication that the shura gatherings which took place on august 30th in the city of karbala in southern iraq which commemorates the death of amman hossein who is the grandson of the it late prophet is that one of the main reasons that were seeing such a spike in these numbers over the past 48 hours across the country does been nearly 10000 new infections and those numbers are something this country has not seen just to give you an idea in neighboring iran its double the size a population of iraq and they have half the number of confirmed cases we also understand that these figures that we receive on a daily basis are not a true indication of the actual number of people that are confirmed to have the virus because many people dont get tested or they are too afraid to go to hospitals many of the facilities and medical facilities in the country are not equipped to deal with the number of people that they should be dealing with on a daily basis the just the numbers weve seen of people who have contracted kovan 1000 votes go into a medical facility in baghdad alone over the past 48 hours has been just around 370 so this shows us that they really a number of people weve spoken to as well say even if they do get sick they do not seek medical help.

V. Or too many children in one home for one Television Set or not enough access to education 4 out of 10 homes lack Internet Access here in mexico so there are a lot of obstacles that the government still hasnt announced how exactly theyre going to be fixing that but for poor and Rural Communities indigenous communities here in mexico there has been announcement that Education Programs will be done over the radio again there was this promise from the government not to leave any children behind but at a later in the program well have a report from afghanistan where literacy is a priority of course for schools and teachers to confident that students will be able to make up for lost time.
