A dollar only 0. 25 maximum it would really be used. And hit by inflation aid agencies helping flood victims in sudan so their work is being hampered by an economic crisis. Ok lets get going the World Health Organization has warned the coronavirus pandemic appears to be accelerating Global Leaders but the number of deaths decreasing lets take a look at world picture focusing on the 5 countries that have seen the most deaths from the virus the u. K. Is fish in the world more than 41000 people have died there and its curve is going the wrong way the u. K. s Health Minister says hospital admissions a doubling every 8 days across the atlantic nearly 200000 americans have died since february. Hospital admissions are slightly to around 30000. 00 per day brazil has the worst outbreak in latin america with more than 137000 there around 4000000. 00 people have survived it india leads the world in the number of recoveries nearly 4 and a half 1000000 so far more than 1000 patients are being released daily however nearly 89000 indians have died because of covert 19 mexico has a 10th of indias population but has seen nearly as many deaths more than 73000 cases theyre supposed 2700001 monday and as we mentioned the u. K. Is witnessing a steep rise in the number of covert 1000 infections new restrictions have been put in place in several regions the governments advising people to work from home but says schools will remain open the u. K. Prime minister Boris Johnson today holding a Cabinet Meeting hes due to address parliament in about 25 minutes from now englands chief medical officer says there is a risk of around 50000. 00 infections per day by the middle of october the Opposition Labor Party says the government has lost control of the crisis need parker is our correspondent tracking all that for us in london sunny is there a sense there that britain is tipping towards something potentially much worse than weve seen over the past couple of months or so. Its the government is the 1st to admit that theyve already reached this Tipping Point weve seen it play out in other countries in europe a most certainly the government has been eyeing whats happening in france and spain and germany in order to make its next move and we will hear as you mentioned from Boris Johnson in parliament a little bit later on hes shoot to outline a range of ways in which they can bring the increasing numbers of coronavirus under control we already have an idea of at least one that from thursday bars restaurants will have to close 10 pm the owners of those premises will be legally obliged to only offer Table Service weve seen these kind of restrictions already in place in different parts of the u. K. Where numbers have been going up in recent days in the northeast the northwest of the midlands 13 and a half 1000000 people already under restrictions what looks like is going to happen next is that the government will basically connect the various different parts of the country and come up with much more of an overarching set of guidelines as to what should be done next there are of course different variations between different parts of the u. K. Northern ireland scotland and wales we know in the south wales for more districts there have been added to a list of very tight restrictions people cant enter or leave those areas without good reason like the need to to go to work so what people are hoping for is a greater clarity a clear message over what should be done next really to avoid what is according to the in the sciences is a steady increase in numbers but when it comes to the impacts of what we think Boris Johnson is going to announce what in half an hour or so neat i mean there are very specific consequences to this because people are saying look the Hospitality Industry has been hit if you run a rural part or a restaurant you get your business during the day so shouting at 10 pm because the government makes you started 10 pm is fine but if you run a pub or a club or a restaurant in a city center thats a late night culture so youre actively chasing business away if you have to close up the doors at 10 oclock in the evening. Absolutely one of the governments most certainly aware of this we believe that the house being a degree of disagreement within the government but also within the conservative party amongst senior m. P. s as to how deep and wide ranging these restrictions should be at the root of the heart of the this disagreement our concerns about the impact on sectors of the economy youre right to say that in recent months because of the overarching complete lockdown d the hospitality sector has been severely impacted it was on its knees and was starting to pick up again largely because of Government Initiatives and extra funding to encourage people to go out to restaurants so youre setting back the clock is going to be incredibly bruising so the question is will the whether the government will introduce measures that only certain areas of the country you would be subject to restrictions for a limited amount of time he does seem to be despite all the disagreements agreement that this should not be a nationwide initiative the suggestion is that they want to kind of deal with this in a kind of whack a mole approach so as soon as the numbers start to search they knock them down again with a whole range of different tools and initiatives but of course all of that is only going to add so confusion perhaps what people really want are clear instructions clear guidelines but how they avoid impacting negatively on the economy is going to be a very very difficult challenge for the government when you move around in london needs you know if you ride the tube or ride the buses hop in a cab whatever one does in ones daily life there you get the sense that people are just fed up with it that theyve had enough and its almost like for understandable reasons they cant be bothered getting to grips with what they can do and what they cant do they want to get beyond it but they cant and theyre not being allowed to get beyond it. As a real mixture. There are there is a growing confidence amongst commuters for instance to take trains to board buses to go back to work because there was a Government Initiative to try and encourage people precisely to do that to return life to city centers to help the local economy there but at the same time people are incredibly incredibly wary about the prospects of heading into the wind some months having to restrict movement also the prospect of a Christmas Period in which the Retail Sector is he usually impacted by the possibility of people too afraid to go out and spend money on the high streets and also the impact on whether or not families can gather as well so a combination of frustration exhaustion a desire for clear messaging but also deep warry nervousness about the looming prospect of many weeks months of lockdown restrictions and ongoing uncertainty ok neave youll keep us company i know when Boris Johnson appears in the in the chamber behind you hes due to address parliament and the country in 20 minutes from now well talk to you later need thank you very much well arsenal of shouting is an urgent care doctor for the u. K. An agency explains some of the ways people can protect themselves during the pandemic the problem with the virus is we have to establish that its not going to disappear any time suit so we have to learn to adapt to be and live with it so through on who when we had to look down nationally in the march which a lot of the country and the people in the world did. The rates shot down so obviously people isolating now people are more meaning with each other rates are going up and mask is not the best way or the only way of improving it but that is certainly one of the you know best option we have at the moment in trying to control the spread of the virus i think the basics from any doctor will be look where a mosque 1st because if youre coughing or sneezing what do you usually do you put your hand in front to get out so a mask would automatically be protecting others so every always a mask theres a lot more protection in society the 2nd thing would be make sure you try and distance yourself from somebody else so that if the accident you do cough or sneeze your bit far outweighs the chance of you catching a look and the 3rd most important thing i would tell everybody is wash your hands 32nd so washing hands properly after any contact with anybody else including shopping bags including energy coming to your house if you do these basics the coronavirus is deadly but its a very stupid virus in the sense that it doesnt fly around for ages you have to catch it directly in effect itself so if you do these basic think theyre in the very no charts if you catch this more than 150 nations have agreed to take part in the covert 19 global Vaccine Allocation plan its known as kovacs thats nearly 2 thirds of the global population the World Health Organization says it hopes to develop and distribute 2000000000. 00 doses of vaccine by the end of next year and a plan would help bridge poor countries by and distribute bank scenes more fairly the u. S. Is among those that arent taking part having signed their own deals with vaccine makers were encouraged to see a large number of countries signing up to the kovacs facility but we face some downtime challenges for the added accelerator to work as planned it mice to be funded so far so the 1000000000 u. S. Dollars has been invested. This has resulted in a very successful started out phase but its only a 10th of the remaining 35000000000. 00 needed for to scale up and impact Libyas National Oil Corporation census restarting some production and exports the libyan warlord wholly for herself has imposed a blockade on Oil Facilities in january but announced an end to it on friday the state oil company says there are no longer any fighters all foreign mercenaries in her in the east and breaker in the center of the country so production can resume its waiting for safety decisions on the remaining oil ports head as more now from tripoli.

Hello there fairly unsettled picture across much of asia or what she now calls very closely is there is this is Tropical Storm dolphin you can see it very clearly here on the satellite now through wednesday it is going to be getting ever closer to eastern sections of honshu to begin to really push the rain in winds throughout wednesday at about 90 to 100 kilometers an hour and its not expected to get any strong. But than that there would of course be gusts the high than that and then into china again southern areas and if you will those scattered showers and thunderstorms a little a clump of shadows around beijing by thursday this is the day it is set to make landfall with about 100 kilometers an hour so they will be strong that could be some storm surge and those winds are Strong Enough to decent damage but it really will be about the rain it is moving quite quickly we could see maybe as much as 300 millimeters of rain and then across to south asia the rains headed once again mean very heavy across Northern Areas in particular areas in a pool pradesh traveling at the southward still those rains along the west and gas but not as heavy as they have been and if anything by thursday easing off even further but youll see where the rains are again through these Northern Areas very heavy across areas of new poll and again of course in that cold air that could likely tons of snow.

In the next few hours the United NationsGeneral Assembly will get underway it will be very different to look at this year because of the pandemic with most speeches coming in virtually a special ceremony took place on monday to mark the 75th anniversary of the United Nations our diplomatic editor james bays joins us live from the United Nations so james what are the speakers who are the speakers most of the speech is to look out for. Well its normally this way in fact nearly every year it happens in the same order unless someone is not on time and it will happen the same way this year youre going to hear the president of the General Assembly the secretary general and then by tradition youre going to hear president bush the naro of brazil brazil always has the 1st speaking slot and then the 2nd speaking slot always by tradition goes to the head of the host country and clearly that is President Trump 24 hours ago wed expected President Trump to speak said. The 5th end he didnt and in fact the acting deputy ambassador of the u. S. Gave the speech from the floor we do expect President Trump to speak here this morning in new york to give the u. S. Address in fact were told by the white house they recorded this speech yesterday afternoon clearly well be watching it incredibly closely both him and president both scenario have strong views on covert 19 so that is a good reason to watch them remember President Trump pulled out of the World Health Organization remember to the issue youve also been talking about snapback the Iran Nuclear Deal and the u. S. Saying that this step back provision has been triggered the rest of the world says it hasnt expect strong words from the u. S. President on that expect him to talk about the deal between israel and the United Arab Emirates and bahrain that peace deal that i dont think he believes that the u. N. Other countries have heralded enough so youll hear him talking about that and of course connected to kovan 19 but much bigger tensions as well whats President Trump says about china and after weve heard from President Trump we have a succession of World Leaders including president xi from china in fact weve got a better turnout than we ever have when they come in person in new york because of course they can deliver their speeches from their home capitals so we also have president putin coming up the king of jordan president of career emir of qatar president of iran amongst others so its going to be a busy morning apart from the trumpet ministration you know which is in full heading towards the end of an election cycle for those other countries that you were just mentioning there james what are their main Takeaway Points do we think i mean whats their message to the u. N. Was their message about themselves to the u. N. As well. Well one of the messages i think for many leaders that are going to hear about whether theyve been practicing it is a different matter is that there should be a boost to multilateralism that rather one key phrase but all the countries the world working together for the common good trying to solve problems certainly covert 19th has been a big test of that and we have not seen that cooperation from the macro is always a cheerleader for more to latch on to them hell be one of the speakers here the u. N. Certainly hoping on this 75th year that it can read bolster the whole idea of International Cooperation which is what it was invented for after the end of world war 2 but certainly in the recent few months it has felt to me certainly with covert 19 that the u. N. Has felt very very relevant james well talk to you later im sure but in the meantime thank you very much james spader diplomatic editor reporting live there from the u. N. In new york. A draft bill that would amend the constitution in sri lanka to give the president extra powers has been put before the parliament now if it passes it will allow the president. To dissolve parliament and give him full immunity against prosecution its set to replace a bill from 2015 that strengthened the role of parliament in elfin and as has more now from colombo. In the building behind me the Sri Lankan Parliament is where its all happening at a when the justice minister. Table that draft with the 1st reading he did it to howls of protest by the opposition obviously the amendment seeks to kind of close back all the sweeping powers the executive president lost in the last amendment to the constitution brought by the previous government now this is once again creates an all powerful presidency and that is an issue that many quarters have expressed concern with talks about the removal of any monitoring in the checks and balances against the executive president hes able to sack the parliament after a year hes able to me to hire a officers very sensitive officers the chief justice the heads of armed forces the heads of independent commission know which was the fruit of sort of the previous government and the constitutional amendment these are things that are concerning a lot of people particularly the fact that these changes the president essentially can run the whole show himself the Prime Minister and the cabinet become sort of bystanders he does not need to seek their approval or sanction he can go on with the business of government and this is what is creating concern while staying with the story. Is a political analyst and executive director of the center for policy alternatives he says his government is in a strong position to push this through. But the government has a 2 thirds majority in parliament the question is as to whether the the titians that may well be filed in the Supreme Court with anything it does succeed that means that the government but also have to go to a referendum in the country if allowed on balance i would say that the government does have the majority fact that a set rumblings within the 2 thirds majority that a certain aspects of this amendment which people within their own majority are concerned about and so at the very least its incumbent to make it difficult for all the government to get this through let me end that they may it will succeed all the checks and balances that took place on the exercise of executive power and authority having got credit by this amendment it is horrendously autocratic applauded tarion amendment i mean it is a tremendous reversal to the gains that we have made as far as Parliament Democracy is concerned but i think for the vast majority of people its not in the seward home because theres a difficulty in getting their heads around constitutional amendments but there is a significant minority i think on the sterns the sort of gravity of this and that this could well pave the way whole a government which is a single a majority populist authoritarian government with a large dose of militarization throw in a misfire. 2 men have been sentenced to death in pakistan over a fire that killed hundreds back in 2012 a court ruled the factory believes the case of arson not an accident a member of the fire after the factory owners refused to pay extortion money more than 260. 00 people died in the incident but survivors saying many were unable to escape because the exits were blocked. Aid agencies in sudan a warning of a shortfall in funding because of an economic crisis record flooding has left tens of thousands homeless and many are struggling to buy enough food for their families mohammed a dope has been using some of the worst affected in the capital hot on the fisa hamadan have had hoped things would get better for them after that it moved all of saddams longtime leader on the bush years. But a year and a half later prices of basic goods are still sorting an officer who is disabled and makes falafel or being cake to support our family is finding it hard to make ends meet. She added of course this life is very hard prices are increasing by the day and some days we eat some days we dont. A week ago the Sudanese Government declared a state of economy can watch and see the move for a sharp decline by the sudanese pound against the dollar since then inflation has risen to a record 167 percent with prices of essential commodities like bread and sugar rising to more than double long queues for bread are visible almost everywhere we get if we are forced to wait in queues for more than 3 hours at a time to buy bread just 10 pieces of bread the elderly who cant stand for long are really suffering we are all separate the inflation has also affected the provision of aid to tens of thousands of people displaced by the weeks long flooding in 17 of sudans 18 states aid agencies say theyre forced to deal with a huge shortfall in funding actually it has been quite catastrophic if i may. When we receive lets say a dollar only 0. 25 of that maximum is what we are able to use because of the inflation last july inflation was at 144 percent in august was almost 167 percent so that means our ability to buy things is only 25 percent sudans Transitional Government blames the decline of the currency on what it calls a systematic operation to vandalize the economy by those opposing it where limit to how one have been in fear has been we will crack down heavily on those trying to manipulate the markets we wont be united in doing this as a government we will also introduce regulations for import and export of coal and yet some people are blaming the government itself for the crisis. The minimum wage from 5. 00 to 60. 00 that is the largest pay rise in the countrys history but broken with no resources of its own the government opted to fund the increment by printing more money so i think that done on a path to father economic decline u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei old recently raised hopes of but the economic prospects here when he announced the possibility of saddam from its role of state sponsors of terrorism perhaps even before the u. S. Elections in november that would allow saddam to shed its pariah status a truck to Foreign Investors and once again access to credit from institutions like the i. M. F. And world bank but diplomats say thats hinged on sudan 1st normalizing relations with israel a bitter pill it may be forced to swallow to ease its own domestic problems coming out the world is eating hot tom saddam in morgan has this update from. The country was under lockdown due to the pandemic or in a virus pandemic so most of the businesses have halted or working for only specific hours so that already caused an economic crisis for many people on top of that a lot of people rely on their day to day labor and with the lockdown that was imposed on the tomb a lot of them lost their businesses many people rely on again buildings and constructions daily neighbors telling to you on the roads that was restricted because of the curfew and the lockdown so many of them had to face the brunt of the inflation and the rough economy coupled with the floods where a lot of people lost farmland that was a little bit too much for people to handle now with been speaking to people who are affected and they say that they dont know whats going to happen next because they havent heard from the government about plans to assist them financially now the government has already declared a state of emergency because of the inflation and because of the devaluation of its own currency and lets take a look at this devaluation just last year around april the pound was worth 55. 00 to the dollar but that was at the official rate something that is not really used much here on the part of the market the black market it was 17 pounds to the dollar today its going to 250. 00 pounds to the dollar so thats a huge discrepancy more than 3 times what it used to be and for a lot of people even those who have had Salary Increment over the past few months the inflation is still too much so people are staying on top of the floods that they had to face over the past few weeks and the losses that they have to incur because of the floods yet to see a government response to this economic crisis especially those who have lost farms. Mollies former defense minister bond or has been appointed as the interim president by the military colonel will be his deputy diplomats from the regional bloc echo us have been pressurizing the army to return to civilian since the president. Was removed from office last month the Transitional Government says elections will take place in 18 months time palestine is ending its presidency of the arab leagues current session in protest against arab countries that have normalized relations with israel the u. A. E. And bahrain have recently signed u. S. Mediated deals for full diplomatic ties needed him as more from ramallah. Well the foreign minister maliki said that was some arab states used their silver and dried as what he called an excuse to normalize relations with israel he said that the arab league has a shared responsibility in these normalization deals with israel nor namely because these arab states did not discuss that decision with the arab league nor did the arab league adopt a resolution that was submitted by the palestinians to condemn normalization he said that palestinians do not want to be presiding over a session of the arab states are rushing to normalize relations with israel he was asked if that is a pretty lewd or an introduction for palestinians to be leaving the arab league he stressed that this is not what palestinians are looking for but they want the arab league to be. To really be true to its previous resolutions lets not forget that the arab league is the place where the Arab Peace Initiative was born it was it did he did time and time again and it says that denormalization between arab states and israel will only happen after israel and its occupation of palestinian and arab lands and that should have been the reason or really that the incentive for israel to end its it to end its occupation because at the end of the day it would be normalizing relations between with more than 52. 00 at up an islamic state.

Germany has urged the u. K. To stop playing games when it comes to the comments were made to have a meeting of e. U. Ministers in brussels the e. U. Chief negotiator will be briefing the group on the progress thats been made in the latest round of tours Lawrence Lees noori a border town that sees a lot of cross border trade he spoke to the director of the towns chamber of commerce to further explained how the deal will affect that region. The European Union was absolutely astounded at the sudden revelation from the british side if they said that they were prepared even in theory to break International Law to undermine the with the current Withdrawal Agreement that Boris Johnson signed up to and so the e. U. Has put the u. K. On notice that if by the end of this month in just 8 days time the u. K. Doesnt withdraw that threats then the e. U. Will effectively sue them through through the european courts and the other deadline of course they do as a part from this is the october a use summits at which point both sides say that needs to be a deal but its looking vanishingly less likely that that will happen and of course they are the people who are right at the front line of the sharp end of all this of the businesses and people and towns right on the ball at the irish border between the north and the south because they had all thought that they would all agreement pushed the trade border into the irish sea and that therefore there would be no return to our border across and thats all and the fact the British Government suggested that it might undermine the Withdrawal Agreement puts that hard border straight back on the table so lets talk to Qana Patterson whos from the near Enterprise Agency and the chamber conus as well. What was your action to come to germany when when when suddenly the British Government announced that it might undermine the Withdrawal Agreements and it said plainly we might break International Law but the people here say that that. Shark.
