Thats right governments across the continent worried about the royces infections and the that which cases are now doubling italy was of course the 1st european country to be really badly hit by the pandemic earlier this year now the government there is introducing new measures for restaurants and bars at restaurants they have to shut at midnight a maximum of 6 per table bars have to close at 6 pm unless they can offer Table Service to people sitting down thats going to really hit the Hospitality Industry tough as it has done in other countries theyre also banning team amateur team sports and local festivals and fairs which is raising the prospect of a winter where tens of thousands of people will find themselves suddenly unemployed the government there are saying that they really have to act quickly to avoid a 2nd Public Health crisis we remember those really moving pictures of the intensive care units in italy but not just there austria for example are worried about the fact that over the weekend they saw their record daily new cases which was the best part of 2000 on saturday theyre now limiting gatherings to 12 people outdoors and 6 people indoors the kind of measure the other governments are considering at least in belgium which is the worlds 2nd worst hit by the pandemic in terms of deaths per population theres now what we already know that cafes and restaurants a shut for 4 weeks but theres now going to be an overnight curfew for members of the public from monday as they really do try to get on top of their infection so all across the continent weve seen governments trying not to impose what was called a lockdown where people simply are told not to go to work not to socially socialize not to go out but to try to limit the. Royson infections and therefore along the line in deaths until of course the vaccine is available meanwhile on the team when it comes to the u. K. The so whats the political disagreements on how to tackle this virus is that impact on the authorities ability to get the situation under control.

Limited though so theres the debate do you go for an open ended kind of localized restriction or a nationalized short sharp what theyre calling a Circuit Breaker to try to drive down transmission ok nadine barber their brain is the latest from london thank you. Demonstrations over inequality in chile have descended in savory loans with looters setting the lights to churches in the capital santiago the protesters were marking the years since their Movement Began initially over the rising costs of transports but which widens into calls for social reforms and a new constitution a latin america adds to the see in human reports from santiago was hundreds of thousands of demonstrators filled streets in plazas throughout chile to mark the day one year ago when the countrys social Pressure Cooker burst. There were dramatic performances alluding to Human Rights Violations committed by police was just so but there was also music and celebration just entire families had come to show that their resolve to fight for social equality remains strong to the but today marks the day that chile a war if it up would be abuse of always being marginalized were here to commemorate and say that we want a new chilling cold was but the peaceful demonstration that so many had called for was not to be was just 300 meters from the main gathering in santiago who did then dole set fire to 2 churches the 1st known as the paris of chiles police force then they torched another regarded as a National Heritage monument was by the time firefighters arrived it was too late. Was. Shops were also needed the group had clearly come prepared to confront riot police and do as much damage as possible nearby thousands of demonstrators continued calling for more equality and risk.

Behavior in this look at they have to reassess what they are doing and and these should not just revise the current abortion if you were just there for ending this war well 1st of all they are behind you that look at the office of the deliberate oftens upon a pox on him and will look at these. Regular pacts that the foam these bigos with explosives and the targets government offices and so theres no doubt in big clement or deny it we know about who are behind this and thats the challenge of course these attacks is against the commitments they claimed that they are doing something in the Peace Process so the the violates all the terms of that agreement that they made with the us in the family so the taliban has to realize that the road to peace the former it is to end this once we do everything not only happen government but the International Community what we all do is to pursue the taliban to end this nonsense war and violence.
