More costs and u. S. Funding could harm Vulnerable Women that. Welcome to the Program Police in france have arrested a 2nd suspect in connection with a knife attack at the basilica and nice that left 3 people dead was the 1st islamist attack in france in 2 months president amount of cause holding an emergency Cabinet Meeting today the terror alert level is now at its maximum. A place of worship and the scene of terra candles laid outside the not chechen nice tribute to the victims killed within its walls. What happened inside is now being pieced together by forensics teams. Frances top counterterrorism prosecutor said this had all the hallmarks of a terrorist attack and they have detained a suspect there are people who are more disliked of but its sure when he was arrested he was carrying a document in the form of a paper from the italian red cross in the name of a to newseum National Born in 1990. S. To geishas have shown that this is the perpetrator moreover the person concerned is not known in the National Fingerprint database and is not known to the Intelligence Services or was in the when the police stormed the church on thursday it was too late to stop the bloodshed a Church Official and woman had been stabbed and killed a 3rd person died of her injuries. Police found a copy of the koran and 3 large knives in the suspects bags the man is now in hospital in Critical Condition president was at the scene within hours calling for national unity. If we find an attack to get in its because of our values our belief in freedom to believe freely and not give in to terror qua. Let me say this very clearly we will never give. Me money said. The french president has angered many in the muslim world by refusing to condemn cartoons of the prophet muhammad. Its a long standing debate in france reignited by the murder of School Teacher samuel party earlier this month. He was beheaded after showing cartoons of muhammad in a class on free speech. And with this latest attack france has 3 more people to mourn. For the very latest on that story were now joined by our correspondent. In news lisa theres been a new arrest in this case what can you tell us about that. Well police just confirmed me that they indeed arrested a 47 year old man apparently that man was living in the region around nice and he is originally from a maghreb country and now he was on the phone with the attacker several times the day before the attacks it 2 days ago and the police are now looking into the question if he was just in touch or if he was in the complex of the murder of the assailant who killed 3 people at the cathedral just behind me. There france is at its highest level what does that actually mean. Well it means that in additional 4000. 00 soldiers and Police Forces are deployed they cross the country at them are being deployed to trust the country at the moment to protect vulnerable locations here in france the police told me that they considered that under the lockdown because france has now entered a locked on for probably at least 4 we under lockdown volatile places are not only places of worship and there is a location where terror attacks happened in the past but also public transport because under the lockdown thats where people are crowded really so the police is really are really on high alert and theyre trying to protect as many places as they can at the moment but today france is going into lockdown how will that affect both the public commemoration of these latest also the investigation. Well obviously you know public commemorations will be difficult to carry out if you look back a few weeks you know when some of the party was beheaded by a radical islamist the teacher who had shown a cartoon of the prophet of mohammed in his classroom after that president in a car he indeed how held a public ceremony to commemorate this man but this will hardly be possible now here in france under lockdown there might be some online event or something or a car might hold a public speech on television but you cant obviously gather people here and france at the moment and the police are saying that they are expecting to stay people at home and but as i said they will still be on high alert and there will still be a terror attack alert a terror alert here in france theyre going to try to correct these places that have all the money and france. In nice thank you lisa. Well there has been reaction to these killings all over europe but also here in germany germanys president. Spoke to d. W. About the attack duties and. By then of course our thoughts are above all the relatives who have our compassion. But i believe what we in europe and not just in france must do now is to stand up to this act of. Islamist motives behind it. And violence and in our democratic societies above all we should not base the response of the state on a course determined by hate and cause and of. Acceptance and Mutual Respect are a part of our society and so standing up to such acts of brutal violence and islamist motives is one thing the other is to try and maintain the openness of our society thats the other challenge. To the Global Pandemic now and europe is suffering under a deluge in new cases germany has reported a record 800000 daily infections just days before a new limited lockdown will take effect in france a 2nd lockdown has already been implemented and in belgium all spittles are now struggling to cope as the number of patients hospitalized with covert 19 is higher than even during the 1st wave in april the country has become a new hotspot for the corona virus in europe and doctors and nurses are under enormous pressure as they try to keep the countrys Health System running. This used to be the Recovery Room for patients whove had surgery now it serves as a makeshift intensive care unit for Corporate Banking patients on life support hospitals of the belgian province of liers are no the epicenter of europes 2nd wave and struggling to keep up we are not able to admit one new patient any more so if a patient comes in the emergency room with a through these we have to transfer him to another or be done in belgium until the flemish part of the engine will be or through for the devo tells us his team is not only short of beds but also personnel one in 5 nurses in the region have tested positive for the virus themselves but the pressure is so high that those who dont have symptoms continue to work under strict safety precautions doctors and nurses here are working tirelessly to take care of covert 900 patients some of them are even infected themselves but despite all efforts the Health Care System here in belgium has reached its breaking point as the overall number of infections continues to rise the actual number of infections is likely to be higher than the official figures across town at leisure as University Hospital testing is ongoing. And i cant smell or taste any more and i have a headache. Because after the medics here can conduct 280. Every day but these tests are strictly for those who have a doctors prescription family members friends or coworkers who have been in close contact with them but dont show any symptoms cannot get a test for them or as the moment we have so many positive cases the problem is there are far too many contact persons given the huge number of people who have symptoms wed be unable to test them as well as all the people theyve been in contact with at least not with the amount of tests we have currently if we had more tests we probably could back in the covert ward dr duvall fears the lax handling of the crisis in summer will put him and his colleagues in a very difficult position very soon when you have only one bet and 10 people out of a thing for the same bit you have to choose between the team that which one you want to. Know a doctor want to do thats one thing its like you know we are not doctors who do that kind of thing we all booked up to treat patients with which patient treating germany has started to take patients from belgian hospitals with infections expected to continue to rise here in the coming weeks the medical staff already at their limit who need all the help they can get. The situation in belgium lets bring in our correspondent in brussels by bad hospitals in belgium asked struggling to keep why has the situation worsened so quickly. It is not entirely clear what the reason for the fact that belgium is now the hardest hit country in in all of europe doctors and Scientists Say its a mix of reason the population was more relaxed about the rules of not following distancing rules after the summer break the Crisis Management on a federal level here in belgium is not sufficient obviously and also the regions vallone and the Flemish Region are not working together tally the number of intensive care units was not heightened or not increased as much as necessary so its a bundle of reasons but it is clear that belgian is not prepared for the 2nd wave and now people are hoping that at least the luck which entered into effect already will solve the problem in the coming weeks about as we just heard and there are people germany is taking patients from belgium because germany still has asked me how well does this corporation inside the European Union actually work. But there are many countries that are taking patients now on cross border. Agreements and the u. Commission is also sponsoring the cross border transport of patients but overall theres a lot more to do with the e. U. Heads and states of government just gathered in a Video Conference yesterday evening they pledged that they will coordinate more but theres a lot to do data sharing is not working sufficiently and the countries are not. Recognised thing the tests of covert on cross borders and the e. U. Is now concentrating on the vaccination effort the e. U. Commission is buying that seen those as 1200000000 doses for the whole of europe and the Member States have to come up with a plan how to distribute these vaccines and who gets the vaccination 1st and the was not saying that that would come soon but only in april messmates the nation in europe to start this brief if you can with the numbers are still rising throughout europe are we likely going to see border closures. Where the e. U. Member states are pledging no there will be no border can close as you have witnessed them in a place in april and may the borders will be open for the internal market for goods and also for people but the you is discouraging people to travel they say stay home even if you allow to travel and they got in brussels for us thank you dan. Time to have a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world new zealand has voted to give terminally ill adults who are experiencing unbearable suffering and have less than 6 months to live the choice to end their life if 2 doctors approved voters approved legal euthanasia in a referendum preliminary results showed 65 percent of voters supported the new law. 2 women have become the 1st taiwanese military officers to marry their same sex partner in a mass ceremony hosted by the armed forces that marriages are another landmark for asias community taiwan was the 1st place in the region to allow same sex marriage after a parliamentary vote last year. Protesters took to the streets across poland again on thursday to demonstrate against the Constitutional Court tightening of abortion laws and a couple of also demonstrators gathered outside the headquarters of state broadcaster t. T. P. The position groups of hughes it of airing government propaganda on the issue the. United states has reported the daily record of coronavirus cases against the Johns HopkinsUniversity Said there were more than 100000 new infections infections in the last 24 hour period the us is the worst affected country in the world its now nearing 1000000 cases since the pandemic began. And those rising numbers in the u. S. Have a variety of effects on the president ial election next week more people than ever have voted early to avoid unnecessary contact at polling stations also an unprecedented number of young people turning out to cast their votes often because they have seen their lives directly affected by a National Crisis for the 1st time to take a look now at some 1st time voters from both sides of the political divide. This is all about her future and now ellen has just turned 18 shes old enough to have her say. The 1st time voting is for such a crucial election. And its really going to determine a lot about how the countrys going to evolve in the next 4 years and even after that so you know its little bit nerve racking but im deathly super excited that i can take part in and i can help in any way that i can traditionally Young Americans have been turned out to vote in huge numbers but things look different this time around one week before election day nationwide around 20 percent more under thirtys have already voted than in 2016 in the battleground state of florida that figures around 30 percent. A few blocks away emma is also waiting to vote she says older generations need to make room for young voters concerns this world is for in the future is for young people to grow up in and they wont have to deal with as much as. Some doesnt care about biden at least understands that he cant just run away from the fact that Climate Change is destroying our theres a lot of anxiety around the future in this election the economy jobs but analysts say one issue is particularly important it is disrupted their lives in a fundamental way if not their own lives the lives of their brothers and sisters you know essentially every household with School Age Children has been disrupted by that in a fundamental way and i think that it has in some ways dramatize for many people the 1st and only time in their lives how important leadership is in terms of their their did it it will be. Evidence suggests young voters tend to support joe biden the other donald trump but there are plenty of young trump fans too at the new York Young Republicans Club in manhattan there is also much concern about the future a future without President Trump. Completely reinvented what the party means for the better and thats how he broke the blue wall because he appealed to Blue Collar Workers he appealed to people without College Educations he appealed to the working class of this country want to conserve this american ideal empowerment of the heros journey of pulling yourself up by the bootstraps and thats what the left is is targeting and threatening today even among young voters the classic left and right political divide still dominates right and with at least a quarter of all u. S. Voters under the age of 30 the higher than average turnout will have a big impact on the results. And the impact of next weeks president ial election. Will of course be felt in many ways in countries far beyond americas borders in kenya for example President Trump has reinstated a ban on u. S. Foreign aid for Abortion Centers the cuts have led to a massive for duction in Services Offered by these clinics to. Reports from nairobi for Frieda Kenzie getting pregnant was a disaster she was studying at a Secretarial College the Bright Future she was working for suddenly seemed threatened when they knew i was pregnant i had. Just thinking. No this was thinking. And these. Lucky break she was referred to the know my clinic she underwent an abortion and now feel she has control thanks to contraceptive implants. But the clinic is under threat decisions made a world away from here slashed its funding us President Donald Trump reinstated the mexico city policy restricting funding for going to his ations which provide abortions or anything related to them it made life in many towns like here in 1000000. 00 on the kenyan caused more dangerous for women and girls were used to provide free. Free information we had on him would provide really to do it because we dont get them in the mall for free. These are for the most goes as they report when theyre pregnant when theyre not ready for their pregnancies so this forces some of them to deliver or for them to have a safe abortion kiffin i was younger runs the banal my clinic that helped free down the cats forced her to cancel an Outreach Program helping 15000. 00 other girls and women in rural areas that have had included cancer screenings and age i. V. Treatment she dips into her own personal finances so that what is left can keep running a priority is to protect girls and women from unsafe abortions if i dont do it the im afraid the next. The next possible to do it the wrong way that close in that store and young men. The threat of financial punishment for having anything to do with abortions is affecting Kenyas NationalHealth Policies says kountry Reproductive Health coordinator Kenneth Maruti reading in maine that our constitution gives way to be christians to secure the productive we have resorted to to not falling or constitution because of fear. The choice of the u. S. President not only decide whether kenya can follow its constitution says the man who ends up sitting in the white house could mean life or death for patients who would wish to somebody sits on that seat somebody has understand is a human being you need that flu and that is a human be dying simply because theres no information given to her lungs these plus a little bit of that. Didnt he is sure god is going to have the information and theyre going to be. Great doctors great mothers if you judge because they will have information to prolong their life. The reporter most reports from nairobi and joins us now from there maria in your report you mention the mexico city policy that restricts abortion funding from the u. S. Can you tell some more about this the mexico city policy 1st came into effect and 19 eightyfour by former president Ronald Reagan since then democratic president s have suspended the policy during that terms in office and republican president s have reinstated it so what does that mean it means that foreign n. G. O. S and house provide us all around the world that receive Development Aid by the u. S. Im not allowed to use these funds for anything related to abortions so when donald trump became president and 2017 he not only reinstated this policy that is pretty says as he extended it so that 9000000000. 00 u. S. Dollars were not available anymore for those Health Care Facilities all around the world why did he do that what he needed the votes of the evangelical christians that was one of his Campaign Promises and he kept it. You mentioned the evangelical christians but where does Public Opinion in kenya stand on the issue of abortion. So if you talk to kenyans on the street and you know i asked them about this whole topic of fortunes actually something we did a couple of days back most of them the overwhelming majority is hell is you know kenya is a conservative religious country there is no place for Something Like abortion and abortion actually is only one woman we found told us actually yes if the life or health of the mother is in danger there should be the possibility to get a safe abortion thats also actually a constitutional right of women here in kenya but if you talk to Health Care Providers who actually provide these kinds of services here in kenya they also told us you know the environment really has become very hostile towards the evangelical movement here was felt very much empowered by this u. S. Policy. See also been affecting the Legal Framework. So actually as i told you the Legal Framework of what when it comes to abortions. Abortions are allowed in kenya but only under very specific circumstances only of the life and health of the mother is in danger only of this a case of emergency or a rape case so that means that these cases have to be you know these circumstances have to be fulfilled so if a woman arrived at a clinic she should receive safe abortion safe abortion post care as well but we talked to Health Officials on the ground here and they told us you know there are cases and these are not rare cases when a woman arrived at a Public Hospital for example and she is in dire need of help because she procured an unsafe abortions evolution and has complications because of that and she might die in the waiting room because doctors and Health Workers they are too afraid to actually treat her because theyre afraid and scared that the funding of death acidity could also be cut so these are actually cases that have been increasing since the reinstatement and the extension of this u. S. Policy. Ruby thank you.
