Mayor very hit and felt it personally her husband became critically ill but survived it was a terrible time for the families but also for us as a mayor and also all the people of my policemen and you know the people in the town who are working. 24 hours a day 6 months later seen tritton has the infection rate under control with strict measures father room can and says now inhabitants need to heal its important to share. With each other what we feel what we want or and she thinks are the 2 but also or the.

But lorenzo changed his mind and wrote a letter leave. Dear grandpa i miss you very much i am mad about corona mad about what happened you were dead best and always are going to be the best because you think he said. That i was brave and i was happy that i did it that i could throw it all out. Please happy. Everyone lies. The sunni grandpa. No one here will forget them. To diffuse teri schultz reporting for us there. Lets get some more perspective on the story now we can speak to Gabriel Leone hes an epidemiologist and dean of medicine at Hong Kong University thank you for joining us as we mentioned weve reached a really tragic milestone 1000000 people have died from cover 1000 across the world and we know that the pandemic is still far from over what is your perspective do you think were going to see the death toll continue to rise at such a level going forward. Yes im afraid i do see it increasing oil except a rate increase jet korea all of hospitalisation and then of course a few weeks after that you will start seeing rises in debts as well so as. It is now going through the excessive rate at phase i wave to you will start seeing and in fact indeed you have started seeing the age all the inflicted to go up from the younger age groups now into the order that i dont age group and with that you are seeing. Being hospitalized and then as i said in a few weeks time the debt numbers will rise again on and increasing trajectory and that is almost inevitable especially as we now head into the middle and then they were to made early winter that is quite a sensitive period to recrudescence it is extremely worrying gabriel i want to ask you about some of the regional differences weve seen particularly with the death toll it seems that asia has actually fared much better than the americas and europe how do you explain that. I think i think that its not just the its not just the dex dex is mandy the tip of the iceberg so i think that the line is the total number of infections in lets say east asia for that matter head down australasia i think that those numbers are a fraction by well i dont even 2 orders of magnitude smaller then europe will be americas on a per capita basis and therefore when you look at hospital admissions i. C. U. Admissions and then dex eventually those correspond to the scale and i think that it really depends on how hard you work at double one of the restrictions to the north pharmaceutical interventions of testing tracing where one teeny and isolating ok and i think that there are very remarkable differences between different regions in the road in terms of those key measures and in fact some of those may reduce depending on the allocation on a global basis the 1st batches of vaccines as and when they become available i think starting towards the end to be a right the beginning of next year and even just a quick question on vaccines there we know that there are number of vaccines are undergoing trials at the moment when they become available and are safe to use do you think that would really mean the end of the pandemic. No i dont think that that would be the Silver Bullet that many are imagining or hoping pull i think that the 1st generation of back scenes with possibly one maximum 2 exceptions most of them. I designed and measured as outcomes and licensed. To reduce disease severity not to stop Tribes Mission and so that is a very subtle but critical difference well have to leave it there everyone then the dean of medicine at Hong Kong University thank you so much for joining us here. Germanys chancellor Angela Merkel will meet the countrys state leaders to discuss a new strategy for combating the pandemic merkel has warned that Current Trends could lead to a major spike in infection rates before the end of the year but just how ready is germany for a 2nd wave you visited one Doctors Office in the center of berlin that is hoping to get ahead of the curves. 12 meters long and growing. Thats the length of todays line at a medical practice in berlin. People have come here to get tested for corona through the window no appointment necessary. I think its a really nice option doesnt take so much time and its made the safer than going to oak hospital and sitting in the close space where patients can be seen but here everything everyone is Wearing Masks and just for the window so i think its really nice that the doctors ability cuts and runs the practice shes bracing herself for a harsh corona winter with many more patients to deal with. Any time you want my i dont want to be a prophet of doom and gloom but the numbers are clearly going up we all want to prevent another lockdown so we dont want to have to close the schools again somehow weve got to get through this winter. To prepare for whats coming germany wants to set up more testing stations they would receive people running at a High Temperature or with other corona symptoms additionally the Public Health office which tracks infected people was promised more personnel but that has yet to materialize. The quality shots have pledged to bolster the Health Authorities over the next 5 years this requires the creation of 5000 new jobs but now as october and november approach the jobs dont exist in the Health Offices this is a problem that urgently needs to be addressed. But instead of relying solely on Germanys Health care and tracking system dr cuts would rather make testing at home possible. They dont have to be given the chance to do a test without a doctor to go to the pharmacy and buy a test although they do not guarantee 100 percent accuracy and they provide an excellent indicator and are absolutely adequate from an epidemiological point of view because. The swap test involves taking a sample between the nose and mouth it shows the results within 15 minutes without sending the sample to a laboratory in germany though only doctors and pharmacists are allowed to order them should infection start rising sharply in winter they might be an alternative to long lines in the cold as we mention chance of acol as needing regional leaders today to hash out a new strategy to combat the virus. Political correspondent hans front tells us what to expect from that meeting. Well there have been some leaks about what is likely to be decided today and looks as though the restrictions will be tightened again what theyre talking about is that their number of people that are allowed to attend private parties for instance will be restricted to a 25 and public gatherings to 50 the background to this is that in recent months or in recent weeks the number of infections have risen is specially because of gathering such as the religious gatherings. Weighting parties birthday parties in other words things that are happening really outside public control in private in private circumstances but these kinds of gatherings ought to be restricted we have to say however that there is some dispute between the various regions the 16 federal states and germany amongst each other there is a push to have these rules imposed for the whole of germany but especially the rural federal states feel that in their cases where the number of covered cases are very low applying such strict measures would not be reasonable so there is some dispute going on about whether this will be for the whole of germany or not davies hans front reporting for us there lets take a look at some other stories from around the world human Rights Watchdog Amnesty International says it is halting its operation in india after what it calls a witch hunt and reprisals from the government Amnesty International said in a statement that the Indian Government had frozen its accounts and the organization has now cost all research and campaign but in the country.

Germanys chancellor merkel and u. S. Secretary of state by pompei 0 have both called for an immediate cease fire in this dispute it territory of nagornokarabakh in the caucasus. Phoned the leaders of both armenia and azerbaijan these 2 countries are now engaged in a 3rd day of fighting over the region it lies within azerbaijan but has been under the control of Ethnic Armenian forces since 1994. These scenes have put the International Community on edge. But for the residents of both mania and as a by xan they have been a long time coming. Azerbaijan all the as i by johnny ami will win this war and we will return to our historical lands a lot of those that get it as in this jury is out as if my country needs me as a soldier i am ready even at my age. Of course we are afraid of a long war but the civilian population and the military must be ready for it. It is better to be free later than to continue this false pace. The focus of the fighting is the goal in a car back region the dispute itself is decades old beginning in the early 1990 s.

U. S. President donald trump and his opponent to joe biden are preparing for their 1st t. V. Debate to take place later on tuesday after the revelations by the New York Times many voters want to know how trump will deal with the investigation into his tax records the times story suggests that the selfproclaimed billionaire and savvy dealmaker may actually face a nightmare of bad deals and unpaid taxes totaling hundreds of millions of dollars trying denies the assertions. Dont know compromised thoughts among the many questions being asked after all a geisha is a marriage that the u. S. President is liable for almost half a 1000000000. 00 in loans. To fake news. He dismissed rather than deny the story about a former white house ethics lawyer told g. W. News knowing where the money comes from mobsters. If the party that guarantees all of this that stopping a lot is asking for our whether it be russia or another country we simply dont know thats very dangerous for the United States to have our president and. To either foreign governments or all of our people closely allied with our governments the New York Times revealed how the reality t. V. Show the apprentice transformed trumps reputation from a field to businessmen with serial bankruptcies to mr trump a socalled titan of the boardroom with the mightiest touch if the sure revitalize the brand its allowed his empire to tap into huge loans which he then used to finance lost making golf courses around the world. Outside the trump tower turn fortress some lump while others are angry. The New York Times with unnamed sources with no proof absolute proof will come out with such a story to try to skew the debate i think now it just is a testament to the fact that he always thought that hes above the law and he lies about how much money he has how do you make this Many Democrats argue trump finances make him a National Security risk a point they hope will push sweet voters with less strong opinions to that end tonights debate set the stage for a fiery 1st head to head clash between trump and biden. Lets bring in Nicole Ranvir for more shes a us analyst at the German Council on Foreign Relations hi nicole good to have you with us of these bombshell revelations from the New York Times that the President Trump is hundreds of millions of dollars in debt and that hes paid very little in taxes how do you think that the trumpet ministration and republicans are going to try to get ahead of the story and frame it going into the debate tonight. Well they were of course this mr whole story as fake news because as in what they have to do now is they have to buy time. They know that this is a very serious issue theyre completely changed the rules of the game so but the only thing they can do now is they came trying to have this debate after the election if they have it now its a big problem but again they will downplaying it and both say its big news ok if we look at this from the other side of the coin how much does this actually play into the hands of his opponent joe biden in the debate. Well joe biden could of course point to the fact that as a Good American citizen you 1st of all if you are as a president transparent with your taxes you pay your taxes and insession considers them and they feel based a lot of it he follows the rules and the game shows that hes an honest good he was citizen like everybody else and there could be something there you know whereby into the hearts and minds of the voters are certainly going to be an issue at that if they can be sure of that what do you think your call that joe biden and donald trump need to do to come out on top tonight. Well the thing is they have so far when by trump in the t. V. Show this is basically a big advantage for trump because he is action entertainment and session t. V. Pro and what biden has to do to really change that is to his advantage is to show that he is on top of things and he is alive he is a lively you know and he you know has enough energy to be in the next u. S. President and here in my view very hard because again the success of trump has a lot to do with experience on t. V. And we might see a very very interesting debate tonight its their 1st showdown do you think that voters are going to see this differently do you think these revelations the New York Times will make a difference at the ballot box. Only talk about the people. You know who they want to vote for and they might be a small chance that you can support us of all the indecisive voters might now have belts you know about them be a big crowd story and might then change then my voting ballot but his core vote team they will not change their mind so the outcome is not so heavily influenced by this debate not. From the German Council on Foreign Relations thank you for your insights.
