Their 1st televised president ial debate it comes one day after a shocking report about the income taxes that trump has not paid can bite and turn trumps tax troubles into a campaign coup and. Fighting slayers between armenia and azerbaijan over the disputed territory of nagornokarabakh the 2 countries have rejected calls for peace talks as the conflict threatens to escalate into an all out. Im brant goff to everyone watching us on p. B. S. In the United States and to all of you around the world welcome we begin tonight with 1000000 the 1000000 lives lost to the coronavirus the pandemic which began. 9 months ago has now claimed more than a 1000000 lives globally and from europe to the u. S. Cities are bracing for another surge in new infections a 2nd wave in the pandemic could 19 as quickly become one of the worlds deadliest Infectious Diseases the virus has spread to at least 188 countries in fatalities have been rising yet again since august after weeks of gradual decline many countries as we said are seeing a resurgence in corona virus cases including right here in europe and Public HealthOfficials Say the crisis is far from over. Were earlier we spoke with margaret heres shes with the World Health Organization in geneva and we asked her whether the emphasis should be on developing a vaccine and drugs to treat the virus or on coded testing and tracy. The emphasis should be on it lets say is do it all say yes the side just racing out what in 24 sevenths i mean but really for humanity how is that every day when i think of what the scientists are doing but we ourselves every one of us have to be responsible for stopping the transmission and yes and Health Systems and Health Authorities have to be increasingly testing ensuring that they are tracing every person making sure every person who is infected is put requirement and make sure everybody has a contact itself isolated and following those people and making it possible for people to take the actions we can stop the transmission. There was Margaret Harris there with the w. H. A german chancellor Angela Merkel she has announced a new measures in response to local spikes in coded 19 infection rates shes valen to avoid a full National Lockdown instead announcing what she is calling a hotspot strategy that after meeting today with leaders of germanys 16 federal states there is growing alarm here in germany that steadily rising infection rates could signal the start of the pandemics long feared 2nd way. I think all in all this was a very important conference in which we discuss the seriousness of the situation as fall begin. And we are not alone as we see from the very dynamic infection developments in our european neighbors. Our goal is to allow public and private life to go on as much as possible without needing. To do it that that means when infection rates rise we need to react quickly to get them under control oh always on a specific regional basis thats something weve learnt that we dont need to do the same thing for everyone but that we can intervene in a measured localised way and i think thats good news. And. Thats the german chancellor speaking there lets take this story now in the Political Correspondent so i mean young hes on the story for us here in berlin this evening good evening to you simon so weve got the chancellor she seems cautiously optimistic that a a 2nd version of a lockdown can be avoided but you have to admit the winter has not even started the infection rates are climbing where is this confidence coming from. Well this is something that the German Government has stressed again and again the chancellor said it again today that avoiding a widespread lockdown is a real priority they want to keep the schools open in particular and businesses up and running in the chancellor said to achieve that several things and needed in addition to continuing to follow the guidance on face mosques and distancing she said for instance theyll have to be and you have to cease on airing out rooms as particular in the colder months as people spend more and more time indoors she also said that Contact Tracing will continue to be important as we continue to see local outbreaks very likely over the winter and less outbreaks that were already seeing she said theyll be a new testing strategy and particularly quick quick tests so that only those infected have to isolate and then as you mention this hotspot strategy telling people how many people really should be able to gather both privately and publicly and also making it clear that if the infection rate goes up the number allowed to gather will decrease so its a widespread strategy and thats where the confidence comes from right so im young stand by for just a moment despite this government for operations many people here in germany are concerned about a spike in infections during the coming winter months so were asking tonight how prepared is germany for a 2nd wave w. News visited one Doctors Office in the center of berlin thats hoping to get ahead of the coronavirus kerr. 12 meters long and growing. That feeling 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 navy safer than going to iraq hospital and sitting in the close space where patients can be sick but here everything everyone is Wearing Masks and the 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 advice 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 politicians 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 yet 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 is done would rather make testing at home possible. If you miss a good move to cut it will 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 swamp 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 infections start rising sharply in winter they might be an alternative to long lines in the cold. And so i mean one of the strategies to deal with the 2nd wave is more tests more tracking how will prepared or help the forward using german for that. Well bred i think theyre ramping up preparation i think a lot of what was announced today was fine cine in the existing policy so i mention the testing strategy a lot of the focus there will be on schools to try and ensure that you know if theres a case of an infection in a school that doesnt automatically lead to the closure of the whole school but instead quick tests can help the students to get back into class quickly on tracking for instance you know germans visiting bars and restaurants have been asked for months to leave Contact Information some of them have given false information writing donald d duck because their name only on the forms and so on in future thats going to be regarded as an offense and there will be a significant fines if people do that kind of thing and to make sure that the system can deal with any widespread upsurge in infections in the coming months was spent announced today is 5000 needed Public Health offices and plenty of money to make sure the system the system is robust enough to get on top of any new outbreak and new infections of this marise lets hope that the Public Health authorities can stay ahead of the coronavirus curve as winter comes simon young on the story. Simon thank you. Will some of the countrys worst hit by the corona virus pandemic are not the ones making headlines every day peru which is topped 800000 infections and had one of the worlds highest mortality rates and its economy has shrunk by 30 percent but new cases are beginning to slow and that has prompted the government to go ahead with easing restrictions many fear that it could be too soon. Finally able to be by her husbands side. This doesnt cemetery in northern peru is the final resting place for local coronavirus victims now that restrictions have been eased relatives are allowed in to visit even though it isnt at the spot ana maria and her husband had planned for your method to get over to you but yes im the one i went to tell them to make burial arrangements and they told me i couldnt bury him in the plot we had chosen. I was told that an order had been issued that everyone who died from coated had to be buried in this summit area. Others are still fighting for their lives perus president says the countrys Health Care System is stronger now than it was at the beginning of the pandemic. And the government is expanding testing including in low income areas of the capital lima. So with the rate of new infections on the decline the government is pushing ahead with plans to reopen more of the economy and even start letting in International Flights starting with neighboring countries but some Health Experts are warning against reopening too fast. Eating the nasty reopening gyms bars discos and other forms of entertainment will be terrible. Siac. So yes it could bring about a 2nd wave quicker i want to say 1. 00 and i think we definitely need to reconsider these steps nothing. To fear is that peru could repeat the pattern of other countries seeing a rise in cases followed by a new wave of mass burials. Cardless take a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world kuwaits ruling amir shaikh. Has died at the age of 91 a strong u. S. Ally else of ostrov would with domestic political disputes and the 2011 arab spring protest ever since ascending to power back in 2006 his brother crown prince now off succeeds. French police have dismantled a migrant camp in the northern port town of callaway the makeshift camp was home to about 800. 00 migrants mostly from iraq afghanistan sudan and eritrea every year thousands of migrants trying to cross the English Channel to reach the u. K. Public transport across germany is facing disruptions they strike has been called by one of germanys largest unions it wants employers to sign onto a new National Labor agreement with more equal working hours across sectors and pay increases for trainees transportation is being effected in major cities such as hamburg frankfurt and here in berlin. With just hours to go until the hotly anticipated president ial debate in the Us Democratic candidate for the presidency joe biden and his wife jill they have just released their income tax returns by paid nearly 300000 dollars in federal taxes last year much more than the 750. 00 that President Trump paid in recent years bidens running mate harris also made her returns public release adds further pressure to limit the damage that the information may calls the trump reelection campaign. All of a sudden its about the taxes lets cross live now the Washington Bureau chief in his poll she will be following the debate for us later at a party in wisconsin good evening to you i mean this is the 1st of 3 television debates. Who is going to wait is this a debate for biden to lose or is this a debate that trump has to win. Well brenda i think it is fair to say that it is much easier for donald trump because you know for his supporters they dont really care what hes doing he has to appear as being strong he can bully bite and he can be aggressive he can even lie they dont really care about that and thats very different for joe biden so he has to prove that hes alert that hes there we all know his nickname probably sleepy biden sleepy joe thats how donald trump called called him so he has to show that hes there but she cant come across as too aggressive either because thats not what his supporters won so i think it is fair to say that it is much easier for trump to win than for joe biden. In these these debates many times focus more on style then than substance and its in a reno where someone like donald trump can do will a bully pulpit if you will and we know that is not joe bidens strength is it. No its absolutely not and we saw him over the course of the last munson public appearances he was really like kind of meandering he is sometimes really a hard time to be precise you know he starts a sentence somewhere and ends somewhere very different and indeed as you just said brant he has kind of to lay out his plans how he once to bring this country forward again and therefore he has to find a way to to really be very very precise and very easy to understand and this most definitely has never been his strong suit and over the last couple of months i think he got even weaker in that regard we will see tonight if all of the practicing and the rehearsals if they will pay off in his poll on the story for us tonight in wisconsin in of thank you. Tensions are flaring again over the disputed region of nagornokarabakh with both armenia and azerbaijan and forces accusing each other of attacks on their territory armenia claims turkey has shot down one of its warplanes which the turkish president and his eyes advice on the allies are denying tonight violence in recent days has been the regions worst in decades but im sure by john in armenia they are rejecting calls for any peace talks. These scenes have put the International Community on edge. But for the residents of both mania and as a by shun they have been a long time coming. Was a little the as i by johnny ami will win this war and we will return to our historical lands a lot and so i get it as it is victory is out as if my country needs me as a soldier i am ready even at my age and of course we are afraid of a long war but the civilian population and the military must be ready for it although it is better to be free later meant 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. When the ethnically armenian region declared independence from us a by shalen that independence has never been recognized by the International Community which is urging for calm from both sides the secretary general strongly called on all the sides true mediately stop fighting deescalate tension and returned to meaningful negotiations without preconditions or delay World Leaders fear the fighting could lead to full scale conflict which destabilizes the south caucasus region a kargil for pipelines carrying oil and gas to World Markets regional players like russia and turkey also at risk of becoming him broiled in the conflict and escalating it further. Today we are at the side of our azerbaijani brother and in the defense of the homeland mania Must Immediately cease its attacks and send back the mercenaries that have brought from abroad. Dozens of people have been killed so far including civilians and hundreds more wounded at the request of germany and france the Un Security Council is expected to hold imagine some talks on choose day but with both sides accusing the other of starting the battle and of continuing to use heavy artillery a quick and clean break from the violence seems unlikely. Earlier we spoke with the deputy minister of Foreign Affairs in the disputed region of nagornokarabakh and we asked her about the prospects of finding a peaceful solution well i guess as you know in 1940 the cease fire was signed between the sites it was the medication that russia and the mediator was and this was the only tangible progress with averages thats in that negotiation process and this was the time when current upside was part of the negotiations unfortunately for the last. Decade there by john has been ignoring her about and pretending that it does not exist as a science and as such carbon was not at the negotiation table so i think if we wants any progress to be mapes and any real advance in the negotiation process all sides to a complete should come at the negotiation table with the help of many others and discuss possible solutions and that was our means. The deputy minister of Foreign Affairs in the nagornokarabakh region or not to the United States in the state of california firefighters are trying to contain fast moving wildfires that are tearing through one country strong winds are not helping and 70000 people have been ordered to evacuate the latest flare up in californias largest wildfire season in recorded history.
