A deal brokered by the us president abbas the palestinians feel betrayed. Im jarid great welcome to the Program Germany has passed a warring milestone in the coronavirus pandemic a total of more than 10000 people have now died from covert 19 in germany this follows a shop rise in cases in recent weeks a new record in daily new infections has also been serious in the last 24 hours with more than 14000 cases reported a grim milestone painful for every family it has touched germany has become the 6th european country to reach 10000 cope with 19 deaths. After a peak in mid april the daily death toll was much lower over the summer for most of july august and September Corona deaths in any 24 hour period were in single figures in the last 2 weeks the mortality rate has begun to rise sharply but there are hopes it may not return to the level it reached earlier this year we had very high death toll in the springtime especially for the elderly and now we have more rate is higher in the younger population and that explains why they were telling the rate is lower because younger people do not succumb 19 they usually get sick sometimes also very severe is severely sick however usually do not die compared with some other countries fewer people in germany have died from the disease the number of deaths per 1000000 of population is 120 neighboring france and seen more than 4 times their death rate meanwhile china and india have reported much lower numbers of fatalities by head of population those figures show germany may have dealt well with the virus so far but infections are also rising again more steeply than deaths and experts are increasingly concerned as they look towards the coming months. We dont know how the inspection situation will develop we have to assume that the number of serious cases will increase and that the number of deaths will also rise. If that assumption proves correct many more funerals will have to be held under the shadow of covert 19. Well joining me here is our Political Correspondent hans pond welcome hans what are the implications of germany passing this milestone of 10000 deaths well of course you can say that the figure of 10000 in some sense is abra 3 but it is a 5 digit figure and its the 1st time germany has reached it its simply another warning to the german population and to the German Authorities that this pandemic is still there is increasing an impact again that the number of cases is increasing and as weve just heard from one of the experts what is likely is that the number of deaths is also going to increase and increase more quickly again because the number of infections is rising so quickly so it is a worrying situation authorities are more focused on a local level in targeting cases does this mean that a nationwide lockdown probably isnt on the way in germany thats something that the authorities are doing Everything Possible to try and avoid a nationwide locked on is absolutely the measure of last resort in germany so what is happening in fact at the moment is that one is trying to target particular areas where the infection rate is particularly high most prominent at the moment is a section of bavaria in southern germany which has in fact imposed local locked on already and these kind of measures are likely to happen in other areas in germany as the number of infections increased ok we know that germany in the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic was largely spared from the scenes that weve seen elsewhere in europe but now we are seeing a shop increase why is that. Well this is the question that everyones been asking all over the world in some sense i think in germany too you had the situation that during the summer time here in the northern hemisphere. People were becoming more relaxed they were outside the infection outside a much less likely to happen and this kind of relaxation extended into this autumn period is full period where people are more inside again and having parties inside having set abrasions inside going into bars and pubs and clubs and as a result of this lack of care i think on the part of the population the number of infections has increased drastically ok our Political Correspondent hans pont thank you once. Well elsewhere in europe governments are scrambling to contain an alarming resurgence of the coronavirus on friday france became the 2nd european country to surpass 1000000 confirmed infections following spain earlier this week several other countries also seizing fresh records for daily cases the crisis is prompting leaders across the continent to tighten restrictions and impose lockdowns once more report starts in the build capital.

Well earlier i spoke to journalist guy hedge carya madrid and asked him why spain is struggling to deal with the 2nd wave of the pandemic. There is a feeling that if theyre not very strict look down the country hats in the spring which did appear to work that were rather too relaxed off there was that the regional authorities in particular allowed people to try and go back to some kind of normality perhaps too far there was a lot of movement over the summer people travelling within the space between regions and those so there was a loss of contagion between different areas of the country theres a feeling that that may have been a problem and also perhaps that the authorities didnt take advantage enough all of that time when factions were low in all thats the range force the health care to prepare for a 2nd wave which everyone seems to be expecting to arrive such some point in the autumn that was guy had in madrid speaking to me earlier well hes a look at some of the other developments in the Global Health emergency polands president on trade has tested positive for covered 19 as the country faces a record rise in cases a spokesperson said is feeling well neighboring Czech Republic has also hit a Record Number of daily infections on friday more than 15000 new cases were counted and the us too has set a new delhi record with more than 83000 new cases on friday this came a day off to President Donald Trump claimed the us was rounding the corner on codes of 19.
