Dangerous conditions in egypt. So then the number of people around the world who have contracted coronavirus has exceeded 40000000 a quarter of those are still active cases iran has reported its highest ever daily death toll at least 337 people there have died of cave in 1900 the past 24 hours and that brings the total number of fatalities up to more than 30000 and more than 10000000 cases have been reported across latin America Brazil argentina and colombia are among the top 10 worst hit countries in the world and other nations across europe including poland and italy theyre imposing more restrictions to tackle the new wave of infections wales is going into a nationwide lockdown for 2 weeks starting on friday is still one of the worst hit areas in the United Kingdom and lets get more on that from general whos standing by for us in london so jenny tell us more about this welsh lockdown and what it means for the people there. Well it wasnt entirely unexpected its been discussed for a few not days now it wails of course or already under restrictions much of the country and on friday to the rather unprecedented step of banning people from travelling to wales from high infection locations in england and scotland other parts of the United Kingdom of course and then mark directed earlier in the day today thats the 1st minister in the developed administration in wales announcing this 2 week lock down to begin on friday thats the beginning of the state schools hof to break itll last for 2 weeks it is pretty deep this lockdown almost as much as the one the National Lockdown across the u. K. Earlier in the year nonessential businesses will shut hospitality will shut most of education will be shut people will be told to work from homes to drake for saying this is an effort not just to control the course of the 2nd wave and also to give the Health Service of course a bit of a break a breather before the winter when things are expected to get really bad but hes hoping to use this fortnight in wales to reset to restart the national with a test a trace and isolate system that has so failed nationally thats a 15000000000. 00 system put in place by the government here in london that has simply failed up to now to do the job of producing live up to date dates are about localised outbreaks so that they can be locally controlled and isolated and that of course crucial overall to the battle against coronavirus. Thats the picture in wales of course wales is not the only place enduring these sorts of restrictions at the moment the north of england the middletons of england in particular having an uphill battle lots of cities up there University Cities have seen infection rates going up exponentially in recent weeks after the return of students to campuses in September Liverpool and tears 3 lock down restrictions thats the highest here in england very high risk category that is and the mayors of other cities like manchester newcastle and so on resisting government efforts to put. Them into tears resetting up the science doesnt stack up and the money isnt there to compensate for the loss of jobs and the businesses that will go under as a result of a big battle underway with downing street its ended in deadlock in meetings today the minute the mayors saying they wont do it downing street responding saying look your infection rates are out of control your hospitals are going to be full by the middle of november if you dont text set the money and the new deal that weve got on the table now will force you under these restrictions or well do it without the extra cash incentive ryan is not just with britneys new care of course they were seeing restrictions across europe too. Oh yeah the 2nd wave raging across europe barely a corner of the continent not touched by you laid it out there in the graphic as this segment belgium of course particularly badly affected as well in addition to the countries you mentioned the Health Minister talking about brussels and near the francophone region in the south saying his words weve lost control of the 2nd wave talking about a tsunami of infections there other countries sorts of also seeing highly rising rates of infection the Czech Republic france of course reaching record levels of 30000. 00 infections a day with a 9 pm curfew and the netherlands increasing its restrictions as well taking a step ever closer now it seems to wards another national knocked down there with its infection rate rising 60 percent in the past 7 days and as you say general winter is yet to come or i would have left. In london a number of those countries bringing in straight to measures is italy lets hear now from top to gloria whos a professor of fractious diseases at sap ians university in rome and shes come for the new measures are enough to put the corona Virus Outbreak under control that. First of all we have to say that the number has not increasing in its been a sure way we are searching infected people in are very deep way and of course as much as you look for them the most you look for them the most you find them but what is important to underline here is that we find infected people not people with the disease the this is the the the number the fraction of people with the disease quite small and the fractional persons who are severely ill easier than smaller therefore we cannot say that we are in the same condition as we read in march i dont really believe there will be the need for a lockdown a 2nd one distance teaching and mostly for older students those of the higher classes will make a great difference in the future spreading of the virus and indeed cures in the next 2 weeks so i think that we should be confident that this may show as we hope effectively with the increase of the numbers we have observed in the last weeks by lets get a picture in iran is in toronto and she says that many iranians cannot afford to take the restrictions that seriously. One of the main reasons and that is one of our also the cause of concern for Health Officials is that people are not taking these restrictions seriously in the capital despite the fact that many people are asked to stay home in the schools are closed and you verses are all closed there is still a lot of people that are going about their daily routines the malls are open restaurants are still open and they are not hearing to the words of the Health Officials who are urging people to limit their movements in the city this is also one of the reasons that one of the main reasons for that is that many people dont have the luxury of staying home they have to earn a living there is no help Financial Aid from the government thats being offered at the moment so many people that weve spoken to say staying home for them is just not an option they have to make a living so the traffic that we see on a regular basis in the capital one of the busiest provinces in the country continues this spike this outbreak even though people are the majority of people that we see across the city wear masks there are still many people who go about their daily business and they try to earn a living in many of the taxi drivers that we spoke to say they just cant afford to stay home they have to earn their days wages because there is absolutely no help Financial Aid from the government during this pandemic.

Fighters there you have the armenian soldiers we were speaking to these these women unseen ages trying to get an idea of how they are feeling about the way things were going in this conflict and the sense there amongst these people was that its not going very well for armenia theyve seen the videos of harry drones picking off groups of young soldiers they know that there have been territorial losses and theyre aware that in some ways the military tables have turned in the last quarter of a century from you know the time when the conflict flared up at its most serious and in the 1990 s.

But the border closed. Or stopping migrants telling them to go back. Weve been walking for days we have nothing to go back to this man says i and most shelters and soup kitchens along the way have been shut by officials trying to prevent gatherings i 2300 meters above sea level hundreds are sleeping on sidewalks braving cold temperatures there used to be 4 shelters here but none have been allowed to reopen.

Special envoy to afghanistan says attacks are threatening to derail peace talks and what it calls inflammatory rhetoric doesnt help either a suicide bomber killed at least 13 people in the Western Province of go on sunday and tens of thousands in Helmand Province or fled increased fighting between the taliban and Government Forces the taliban says excessive u.

I think its an unfortunate masters that they are trying to send and i would just violence despite the fact that the International Community the atman people are now ready to talk to this group burd the continent ration of these kind of violence and brutal attacks on you have been people who can really pose a serious threat to the Peace Process that millions of afghans are hopeful of war so i think its time for the taliban to to look at the their. 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 back look at the office of the deliberate often subpoena facts on him and will look at these. Regular pacts that the photo of these bigos with explosives and the targets government offices and so theres no doubt a big claimant or deny it we know about who are behind this and thats the challenge of course these attacks is against the commitments they claim 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 rope to peace the former it is to end this once we do everything not only happen government but the International Community when we all do is to pursue the taliban to end this nonsense war and violence.

Indigenous people working on cattle stations across australia either one paid or had their wages legally held back by their employers lawyers say up to 10000 workers or their descendants are eligible for compensation just see john flynn a lecturer in Aboriginal Studies that Edith Cowan University he says this is only a small victory. Justice has its place and there is a lot more work that needs to be done a lot of work is being done by incredible people in aboriginal communities already this would be a small victory and it points toward a greater victory yet to come giving greater control in regions to Aboriginal People is a better way of compensating for the damage that had been done in the past so you have the financial capital. Instrument but you also must have a deeper level of a better social contract of engagement with Aboriginal People in communities and its more about a shift of power to Aboriginal People and aboriginal sovereignty than a simple financial shift the problem with the control in the communities is there is a lack of consultation with elders primarily and also aboriginal stakeholders and political economy in those regions.
