Across demonstrators demanding reforms in thailand back on the streets as part of holds a special session. Coronavirus cases are rising sharply in many countries across europe france is now reporting its highest ever increase in new infections and recorded 52000 and its latest daily tally while italy and spain also struggling with the 2nd wave but hopes for a vaccine are growing the British Health secretary says the government there is preparing for a mass rollout in the 1st half of next year in china the government there is conducting more mass testing after a new outbreak in the region nearly 5000000 people there. Being screened after the discovery of 137 new infections but there is better news in the australian hotspot of victoria there have been no new cases in the state for the 1st time in 4 months 5000000 people in the city of melbourne have been under lockdown for more than 100 days well our correspondent is in the french capital paris for us and actually it does seem like things are getting worse in france by the day heading into potentially of what will feel like a very long winter indeed. Or clearly the Health Situation in france is deteriorating 52000 new Coronavirus Infection cases were recorded in a 24 hour period that is the highest level yet and the head of frances Scientific Council of body an organization which oversees medical and scientific matters in france and advises the government a key has said that he believes those daily infection cases are near a 100000 a day because you have to take into account he says of people who are asymptomatic and those who do not go to get tested now the doctors in hospitals across france are also warning that they are seeing on the ground the reality of this situation they are saying that intensive care unit beds are filling up here in the paris region for example 3 quarters of intensive care beds are being taken up by patients and doctors say that the situation is only going to get worse in small towns across france mainly in the north and east were already seeing some patients covert patients being transferred to cities because those small regional hospitals cannot cope with the amount of new patients that they are receiving so worrying situation the French Health minister has said that november would be extremely difficult that we would see these cases continue to rise and we also have of course a cold weather which seems to be fueling the spread of this virus and it seems in many ways that the discussion here in france is turning towards having a knock down a possible knock down in the future the government for so long said they wanted to avoid a National Knock down but what many Health Experts and even the government are starting to hint at is that we could be seeing in the well in the weeks to come quite soon some form of regional lock down or lock downs which would mean that only cities would go into these lockdowns only certain segments of the convert zone segments of the population nevertheless though were certainly talking about lock downs where a few months ago we were not talking about that at all here in france certainly is a very tough conversations i had with france of course isnt alone the rest of the continent struggling to. Yes people are in spain experiencing the 1st night of a curfew put in place by the Spanish Government to try and stop the spread of the coronavirus there is their infection rates saw or people had to stay indoors between 11 oclock at night and 6 oclock in the morning the Prime Minister of spain Pedro Sanchez saying the situation was extreme and then in italy weve also heard from the Italian Government putting in place more restrictions for a month to come things like pools restaurants cinemas and theaters will have to shut that could be extended for a bit longer restaurants and bars will have to close much earlier than they currently are closed currently able to now and the Prime Minister says that is in order to try and avoid a National Lockdown which would be absolutely devastating for the economy italys economy already battered so badly by the 1st wave of this pandemic nevertheless doctors in italy hospitals are saying that perhaps a National Lockdown is what is needed because they are saying that i. C. U. Beds are filling fast and they are very concerned about the situation there Natasha Butler there for us in paris thanks so much natasha across the channel need barca has more from london on lapland vaccine rollout. A shred of optimism here from the u. K. Of course the oxford team in partnership with the pharmaceutical giant astra zeneca plowing ahead with trials at the moment im up how you call the Health Secretary whos been speaking this morning has been talking about very optimistically about the hope of rolling out a massive vaccine for general consumption general use in the 1st half of next year asked whether or not the vaccine may be available to some before the end of the year he said well who isnt ruling it out but it is the governments central position that they believe that the vaccine will be available a vaccine may be available at the start of the year of course the British Government pinning its hopes on the research being carried out in oxford also last week we did hear from a scientific advisor sits on an Organization Called the Sage Committee that advises the government he said that he believed also at the start of next year a vaccine would be available but there are a variety a whole range of possible vaccines may be available to given the wide portfolio of different options the different scientific teams are working on in different places in the world we are also hearing a report also on monday morning in one of the british newspapers suggesting that a major London Hospital has been told that it could receive a bunch off the Oxford Astra Zeneca vaccine as early as november the 3rd next week we believe also that Health Officials have doctors nurses and other Health Workers are being trained in how to administer that vaccine so some possible glimmer of hope there as well. Moving on and Libyas National Oil Corporation says its reopened its last oil field that had been closed the el field site is the largest in libya now nearly all libyan oil exports were stopped back in january by wall of cliff to have to us forces based in east africas Largest Oil Reserves started ramping up in september as some of its oil fields reopened now libya used to produce more than a nearly n. Barrels of crude a day but want to get out he is down for than 2011 plunged the country and violence the dire security situation has had a very negative effect on the economy at central bank want justice month that libya faces an economic collapse if it doesnt increase Oil Production market up or one head is in tripoli with more now the National Oil Corporation thats the state oil for based here in tripoli stated that it is lifted for. All the oil fields ports and installations across the country the 2 remaining oil fields the oil ports that well. Have to the forces. Of actually the 2 measure the Oil Exporting Ports in the country now the state oil firm also stated that Oil Production is going to increase to 800000. 00 Barrels Per Day within 2 weeks after these recent arrangements and maybe a 1000000 barrels a day within a month now remember that this is not going to happen easily because in order to bring good production back to normal this takes a lot of effort and also a sophisticated maintenance. Operation to bring the honest illusions to produce oil back to normal. Now a 3rd attempt to uphold a humanitarian ceasefire between azerbaijan and armenia has come into effect the 2 sides have been fighting over the disputed territory of gondor carabao bundt as during previous attempts to stop the conflict both have already accused the other of violating that agreement this latest truce was mediated by the United States despite heavy fighting on sunday rory chalons has more on median reaction from the town of john fida which is just outside the capital. The Prime Minister nick is saying that so far though he says there have been provocations this cease fire is holding for the moment and armenia is it hearing to it there have been accusations from both sides that violations have occurred but in the moment it does seem like this cease fire attempt is lasting a bit longer than the previous one just over a week ago which collapsed pretty much within minutes how long it will last well its difficult to say how many im in a cemetery here but about an hour outside of your a van and you can get a sense here of the kind of history the way that this conflict is so deeply ingrained into the psyche of armenia these graves down this side of me here theyre all soldiers some of them died in the 1st and theyre going to care about war of the early ninetys and then at the end theres a new grave and that contains the bodies of commander and his son who were both caught in the same drone strike about 10 days ago the son died instantly and the father passed away 2 days later so that gives you an idea of how much armenia is hurting at the moment you see the funerals taking place all over at the moment and this cease fire i think is more in the interests of the armenians than it is in the interests of the there is because as a by john has been making territorial gains over the last few weeks and you get the sense there that you know the popular mood is to keep on pushing on the other side our correspondent on hamid has the latest on that you ceasefire from there in azerbaijan. Exhibit early to say where its going to go if we base it on the 1st 2 announcements of cease fire the 1st one being october 10th and then a week after on october 17th then this is all the reason to be a bit skeptical about this 3rd real fear mention of a cease fire there have been accusations from both sides that the ceasefire had already been violated but by and large if i compare those early hours to early hours of a cool job or 17th was and when that 2nd ceasefire was supposed to come in place it is a much calmer well theres a billions actually. Are actually supporting this will whoever you speak to tells you the army this time has the upper hand is not anymore the army of the ninetys when as a by john was given really a humiliating defeat a bitter defeat that no one has forgotten here there is a army is making advances and those advent those gains are basically announced on a daily basis yesterday another key town the town of 2 butler which is north west of. Itself towards the border in armenia and also closing in from the north from a part they. Took under control a town called so certainly people are very happy about that also because terry tauriel gains means yes. Buying those areas that belong to by john but also getting hold of Natural Resources well still ahead few hang on after theyre painting in a pandemic we look at how art could help britains economy recover cryan a virus plus. In 2016 donald trump won the president ial election in part by winning in key swing states in the great lakes area ohio michigan and wisconsin we take a tour of the great lakes state to go play in the 2020 a large.

But. When covert 901st struck china and began to spread across asia. Some in the west criticized countermeasures a stew hot or too weak. But have the different experiences before asian nations in fact not shown the world to root out of this global pandemic. Coronavirus lessons from asia on a jersey into. The youre the. Head again i understand you terry and thats remind you of our top stories here this hour france has registered a rec order of new day infections with more than 52000 confirmed cases of corona virus on sunday and several other European Countries including italy and spain are now in prison stricter measures as infections. Libyas National Oil Corporation says its opened its last oil field that had been closed this means nearly all of libyas ports and facilities can potentially resume production soon. Humanitarian ceasefire has come into effect between azerbaijan and armenia to stop the conflict bad but the president about the by john has warned a military solution is still on the table. A large crowds of protesters are right now marching towards the German Embassy in the thai capital bangkok are watching the live pictures of those protests now and they want to petition germany to investigate the thai kings use of his powers during his stay in the bed in the Bavarian Alps where hes spent most of this year demonstrations havent specified what powers they believe the king had misused a special session of parliament was held to discuss months of protests that have been calling for reform of both the government and the monarchy well for more lets talk on and scott hyde like who is outside the German Embassy for us in bangkok looking at these pictures it really is quite the huge crowd headed your way. Yes several 1000 the looks like when they are started marching in this direction about an hour and 15 minute. To go its about a 3 kilometer walk so they should be here at some point soon because there are so many people and because theyre going into roads that they need to block off its taking quite a bit of time but this is their final destination theyre going to come here to the German Embassy and petition physically give the Embassy Staff a document that says that they would like an investigation into the kings behavior the thai kings behavior in german on german soil thats because he spend an overwhelming amount of his time in germany generally but specifically this year and thats what theyre looking for the German Government to do the Embassy Officials here have said that they recognize the right for these protesters to come and gather here peacefully and there is kind of a mapped out area if you will around here there are a lot of crowd control police theyve even lined the front part of the embassy with buses blocking off the sidewalk right in front of the embassy but most likely what they do is though the occupy this large avenue here and what they do theyll hand over this letter and again that is them petitioning the government of germany to investigate the powers of the thai king used on german soil whats interesting in the last hour or so the foreign minister of germany has issued a statement saying that theyre going to continue investigating the actions the behavior of the tightening on tourism so this is something that the German Government is aware of and has been tracking but whats interesting with this protest coming here handing over this document obviously thats very symbolic and would be interesting to see how that process of German Governments response its got these protests have been continuing for some time now i see a problem and i think that special session today to try to address some of the issues whats likely to come the. Yeah this is the 1st Political Forum where these protests these escalating protests that began in july 1st Political Forum where theyve been discussed special part and Senate Session today monday tomorrow tuesday no nothing legally binding is going to come out of this but what it is is an opportunity for both sides of the issue and i say both sides because the Main Opposition Party like the protesters has been calling for the. Resignation of the Prime Minister pale and they did that again at the opening for their 1st opportunity to speak in the special Parliament Session today on monday they asked for him to resign he has rejected that but what were going to see over tomorrow still today is still going on and then tomorrow and tuesday is theyre going to continue discussing whats been happening on the streets of thailand no obviously the leading party ruling party theyre going to continue to point out the illegality of whats happened im also that it is going against the protocols to prevent covert from spreading so thats probably what were going to hear over the next day on tuesday but again nothing legally binding to come out of that but again this is the 1st opportunity in this these sessions were called by the Prime Minister to have this 1st kind of public forum Political Forum for whats been happening on the streets here in bangkok and across thailand but whats interesting because the way that the parliament is constructed the ruling party has most of the time because they have most of the members both in the senate and in the house so they have most of the time on the floor but weve already been hearing from the opposition other opposition groups and that these protesters have a right to do theyre doing and they are looking for the government to change the Prime Minister to resign its cant hide that theyre for us on the streets of bangkok will be stand cross all of us processed for you here on out there thanks so much scott.

Organizers say more than a 100000 people were out banging drums chanting strike and long live bellow roofs when you have them wished on you unfortunately i think that lukashenko will not accept the ultimatum he lives in his own world he thinks that many people support him and that were all wrong that would drug addicts prostitutes and vandals but which is peaceful he cannot understand it yet we are afraid of what will happen next week we will go on strike. But this is the 11th straight weekend of protests since the disputed election in august 1. That the opposition says was rigged taking a skier as his main rival she ran against him after her husband was jailed but was forced into exile in lithuania following the vote. Lucas shank is been in power of more than 25 years and doesnt want to quit his main ally russia has offered both political and military support systems or magics.

Senate is in the middle of an all night session after voting to limit the debate for trumps nominee for Supreme Court justice despite opposition from the democrats it is now just off to 7 oclock in the morning on capitol hill theyve been going all night and republicans are still continuing that session to try to speed up proceedings after democrats refuse to agree to a recess now that all means the final confirmation vote for judge amy carney barrett could happen later on monday that no nominee to the Supreme Court has ever been confirmed this close to a president ial election. And with just a week to go until the election now the attention of both sides is focused on battleground states the state of wisconsin lies on a political knife edge the traditionally Democratic State recently replaced a republican governor with a democratic won and now the democrats hope to recapture a state that does seem to be so when their way john hendren reports from door county. Donald trump swept into wisconsin like a cool wind off Lake Michigan and he left in 2016 with an upset victory in a state that hadnt voted for a republican for president since 19 eightyfour any did it in part here in door county a swing county that voted twice for george w. Bush twice for barack obama and in 2016 for donald trump door county is a tree lined peninsula jutting into Lake Michigan home to dairy farms apple orchards multimillion dollar lakefront homes and tourism. At the farmers markets and quaint stalls on this scenic lynn skate voters seem is divided as they were 4 years ago i when into the biggest. Depression had. American people could actually vote for somebody who. Treated other people that way. Totally totally blew me away our president has done a good job. But are you going to get in or not i dont know and i hope he does. I dont think is a Strong Enough to handle the job. With just days before the sun rises on the november 3rd Election Party activists say both sides know if not for wisconsin Hillary Clinton would be running for reelection and they are more motivated this time very early on they realize that joe biden was py going to be the candidate they could best beat donald trump theres a lot more enthusiasm and energy on both sides and people didnt realize probably that you know they maybe didnt think it was going to go to trump so i think they know ok we want to last time we got a shot this time too and i think people realize how pivotal wisconsin is in wisconsin and elsewhere political ads makers say battleground state polls are more reliable than they were when trump won upset victories across the great lakes states but 2016 has left many wary i think biden will win wisconsin but i think it will be fairly narrow even though the polls are saying 5 to 7 points it wouldnt surprise me if it came down to a point like last time or maybe 2 points whatever the polls say if theres one thing we learned from wisconsin in 2016 is that you cant take this great lakes state for granted john hendren aljazeera door county wisconsin. And in part 2 of a series touring some of those battleground states in americas midwest john hendren reports from detroit michigan to find out just what matters to voters says and a trump majority county trying to get out choose day hit on al jazeera.
