Of turning a blind eye to a burgeoning new migrant crisis. Hello, im terry martin. Good to have you with us. The u. S. Death toll in the corona virus pandemic has now surpassed a quarter of a 1000000 people by far the highest national, told worldwide. Infections are soaring to new highs across the country. New york city was the epicenter of the u. S. Outbreak earlier this year. Now its decided to close all Public Schools again as it fights a resurgence in the its an unseasonably early last week of school for children across new york city. Classrooms are shifting to Online Learning until further notice. Its the latest in a series of new restrictions in the state. Parents and students alike are unhappy. Its super unfortunate that these kids are going to be denied an education, but we can go eat dinner inside a restaurant or to loyalty. Is it kind of a little sad if thats whats best for the kids or go with it . The citys man feels the same way workers. I want to for as much as we are unhappy today that this moment was reached. We are resolved to keep fighting. Thats what new yorkers do, and we will overcome this moment. Cases in the state have more than doubled over the past 2 weeks. But new york is in the uni state to see an exponential rise. Cases across the country are increasing, as are new restrictions. Deaths have also been mounting, passing quarter of a 1000000. Since the start of the pandemic. The president elect is warning even more people could die if President Trump refuses to share crucial information with the incoming administration. From the me. Over 300000000, americans that are beyond our, our Border Guards are going to have to be taken care of. Theres a whole lot of things that we just dont have available to us or to less is made available soon. Were going to be horrified by weeks or months, or even as promising vaccines race to the hearth of an end to the crisis. The country will still have to enjoy a long winter for more, lets bring in dr. Peter. Hes an Infectious Disease specialist at the university of california, san francisco. Dr. Shithole, more than 250000 deaths. How did things get this bad in the u. S. . Well, its a combination of factors. Gerry, there is colder weather. Some more people are drawn indoors. There is a pandemic that which some have requiring demick resentments. And of course, you know, people are still in serious of a national strategy. We still dont have one. Its several months many months into pandemic. And were only as good as our neighbor has given the fact that we have very porous borders between states. There are 2, highly effective anti covered back scenes on the horizon that could be approved possibly in a matter of weeks. What are your expectations in terms of impact from those vaccines on the pandemic in the u. S. Military, i think i would approach it with very cautious optimism, i think will be some time before much of the general population sees a vaccine, of course, only about 50 to 60 percent of americans by the latest poll are even willing to stick their arms out to get the vaccine tomorrow. But we will be doing it in tears with health care workers. First responders 1st. Then folks who are home, want it in the shins and the elderly. Whats the situation in your clinic and others like it, when it comes to treating covered 900 patients . Do you have the resources you need . Well, weve been stockpiling masks. Weve been stockpiling drugs like from that severe over the last few months, but i still think we will run short incident key areas like diagnostic supplies. Theres been a run on individuals trying to get coded tests, and were not able to keep up with demand right now. But i would say its the call for this storm, and we expect a 2 week live between what we see in the community in terms of cases and what we see in the hospital. Hopefully, were not going to get overrun because we only have limited beds. President elect joe biden is warning that more people may die. Donald trump continues to block transition planning with the coronavirus. What do you make of the i think its a very realistic statement to make, given the fact that you know, even as something as key and vital like vaccines are a lot like you described. Terri is up in obscurity right now because we dont know how the military is going to be involved. The new administration doesnt know how other rephrase aeration of the freezing is going to be rolled out. Because as you know, both of these m. R. In a box seems require equal time work has to get to the arms of the patients who need it. So all of these key date details are missing from the new administration, from the Public Health officials dr. Peter chin home for of the texas of Infectious Disease specialist at universities have cisco in california. Thanks so much. Thanks so much. Terry. Return to india for the capital delhi is considering plans to reintroduce some law measures following 1st of gatherings at a drop in temperatures. The nation holds bracing for a spike in cases, but residents and delhi have already seen the numbers go up to the front line of the citys battle with cope at 19 the day is just beginning for but he knows it will be a long one. He counted 15 bodies in the morning when he left the morgue at delhis largest 1000 hospital, where he works. He will spend all day at this climate doria. He helped cremate the body sifi and ensured that people suffering. The shock of losing a Family Member to the coronavirus have proper protective gear. As they see their last goodbyes for the last week has been bringing in twice the number of bodies done earlier. Delhi is experiencing its 3rd spike in called 19 cases. The close 200 deaths every day was assigned to the mortuary after many locals before him quit all the venom by the number of corpses coming in. I had to step over bodies to sort through the names of the victims. I had to summon all my courage. Of course i was scared. Ive never seen anything like use in my life. Ive never seen so many bodies still, he soldiers on. He says someone has to here at the local hospital, delhis largest, go, dont know why this facility. The spike is evident. The severity of the cases has also risen as many more seek admission. While this hospital still has a high number of designated coronavirus beds available, they only have a handful of free ventilators and intensive care units or i. C. U. Beds left. This after i. C. U. Beds at this facility alone have been for drupal during the pandemic. Authorities here are confident that things are under control, but they are also bracing for more cases. More and more people are coming home. So we hope this is because of the number of people in the market was getting the authorities are now mapping out ways to prevent the Health Care System from being over bit and with daily guesses in delhi. Crossing the a powder mob. The National Government has now stepped in my partys plan to significantly vamp up the thing, increase the number of i. C. U. Bed and also deploy Emergency Health care forces elsewhere to delhi till the morgue and the board are stokley disk deployed. Crowds continue to trim the market. Just a little pinky losing restrictions is unnecessary. Because you is no need to worry, cases are going up there, keep rising even during a shutdown. People go out anyway, you want to make a difference. Youre smart. You would be interested to reach in right now. If you take some people feel so good because he put them back at the crematorium strongly disagrees. His is the kind of book that makes him vince when he sees the market full of feeling and people shouting together on the street. Memories of the dont dont maybe feeding for goes out and about. But judging is still afraid to come close to his cheese on daughters and his eating mother. But hes not giving up. Locked on for d. D. Is not an option. Its only been the pandemic ends that are jewish into legal reporting from delhi. Well, the number of new infections here in german, it has risen again with more than 22000. 00 cases reported over a 24 hour period. Thats despite almost 3 weeks of a partial lockdown. The increase comes as lawmakers in germany. What voted to strengthen government powers for tackling the Coronavirus Crisis in berlin . Police were forced to break up a protest by thousands of demonstrators who defied calls to wear masks and keep a distance. Thank you. What are cannon and pepper spray deployed by police to disperse the demonstrators . Thousands gathered near the German Parliament building a crowd, including antigovernment protesters, coronavirus skeptics, and members of far right groups. Many were not Wearing Masks or maintaining social distancing. They were protesting against coronavirus restrictions, which they see as a violation of their civil rights. By little, by little, in my opinion, the restrictions are disproportionate. Surely it should have been possible to come up with other measures that dont cause so much suffering. You still believe i am here for my children and my grandchildren. I will not allow their freedom to be taken away. Yeah. Police clashed with protesters outside lawmakers inside parliament who are largely in agreement and approve the new infection protections long. The law is meant to put the governments response of the coronavirus on a stronger legal footing. Previous legislation only list of broad general provisions and didnt foresee the severity of the pandemic or the specific restrictions needed to reign it in. This led to local courts overturning some of the measures. The new law defines more concretely which restrictions can be introduced, including mandatory face masks, limited social contacts, and restaurant closures. Health minister, young spawn, defended the measures and criticize those protesting against them. To be loud, to be against it, or even to deny the obvious. Oh, that is possible and must be possible in a free and open country. But those who are allowed are far from being right and certainly not in the majority. And this did not deter the demonstrators outside, despite polls showing they are in a minority. A recent survey found 56 percent of germans believe the restrictions are justified. And some actually want even stricter measures. Spring in our Political Correspondent here live on the phone. And clearly its been 2 and a half weeks since germany reimposed restrictions aimed at curbing the surge in corona virus infections. But infection rates are still high. Does that mean were likely to see even tougher measures . And if so, what could they be . Well yeah, you said it, there were tentative signs of optimism last week that the curve was flattening. But at this current rate of the new infections i made, it is very likely that when the 16 state premiers meets next week that they will indeed discuss further tightening of the measures and extensions of the measures the month of november and 1. Topic that is very likely to be on the table schools. So far, schools in germany are still open, but what a lot of people are discussing is sort of hybrid model where half of the students are in school and half of the students are learning at home from home. And im learning digitally virtually from home, and then they switch after 2 weeks. And so this is a model that is going to be very likely going to be discussed next week. And weve seen some really angry protests against the code measures are already in place. Is the government losing public support leon . You said weve seen angry protests yesterday. They are very vocal, very loud. But we do have to clearly say that it is a minority. Its a loud minority, but it is a minority. The majority of germans actually support the governments actions against the spread of the coronavirus. Over half of germans say they think that measures are appropriate and theyre 18 percent of germans, according to recent studies that say measures there should be strictures. So the government does enjoy a broad support off in the german population. And the vaccines are all the horizon. Theyre nearing approval. What sort of vaccination strategy is the government preparing . Well, the vaccination strategy is obviously still being discussed. What we do know so far is that the government is planning a mass rollout 60 Vaccination Centers that it is planning to vaccinate risk groups 1st, including medical medical personnel that it is planning to cover the costs for the vaccine and very important it importantly, that the coronavirus vaccination will be voluntary in the thank you so much. That was the w. s learning from home. Youre watching the news still to come. They are not backing down thousands of people stage, a fresh rally in the polish capital to voice their anger over the governments bid to type of fortune will. First, lets take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. Thailands Prime Minister is threatening a tough response to protesters demanding his removal, a new constitution and reforms to the monarchy. He spoke after another night of mass protests in bangkok with activists marching on thailands Police Headquarters and defacing the walls with paint a day earlier.

A new migrant crisis is emerging on Spains Canary island, where just last month, more than 8000 africans arrived by boat hoping to get to europe. Human Rights Groups say people are being kept in dire conditions when they arrive, while local Officials Say theyre simply overwhelmed by the situation. The journey by sea to the Spanish Islands is arguably europes most treacherous for migrants. Young Philip Schultz has been to gran canaria to see what awaits those who make the crossing from here, journalists can go no further. Some 2000 african migrants are being housed in this camp in the port of 5 times as many as were expected. Aid groups have spoken of squalid conditions, but its impossible for d. D. News to find out. She must santana works for the refugee council. His colleagues have been inside the camp. Everyone seems on the floor, some intense and some out in the open. Weve been criticizing this from day one, but we didnt think it would get this bad. There are 2300 people in the camp, and the numbers are growing every day. 2000 migrants arrived in the canary islands. Last weekend alone. The crossing is dangerous, but the coronavirus pandemic has cut off the migration routes. The government has started housing new arrivals in hotels near the camp. Human rights activists say theyre not getting a fair shot at the asylum system. A group of migrants from senegal, say they fear theyll soon be deported. But journalists are not welcome here either. The news is told to leave in mid conversation. May i not when i was angry at the Spanish Government, but also feels abandoned by the European Union . I dont know how it got to money. Im disappointed with spain and with europe. This is shameful. What a lot of politicians and representatives have come here recently. But we have no clue what the governments strategy is. To deal with the migration crises here on the canaries. Got me good at the idea. Spains government refuses to relocate the migrants to the mainland. Critics say this is 10 the islands into a prison. For months, the trends of increasing migration numbers has been visible here on the canary islands. Nevertheless, everyone involved seems overwhelmed by the current situation. Valuable preparation time has been lost. Instead, the island government, the Central Government and the European Union, starting to shift responsibility for the situation to one another. The Spanish Government has now started to procure further accommodation for the migrants. Many fear that this housing with philip before long joined by sophie from the United NationsRefugee Agency in spain. She joins us from las palmas, on the canary islands. We were not allowed to enter the migrant camps on the canary islands. What can you tell us about conditions there . Good morning.

There are not happy, very, very critical people there are registered by the police. The Spanish Police are being photographed and very often before each state will be all returned to the fact that there will be do not do legally in spain, in spain. Indeed, a human each spring, very, very dramatic day. So dramatic humanitarian conditions. The way weve been seeing this, of course unfold in europe for quite some time. The migration situation, what do you make of the way that europe is dealing with the migration issue . Indeed this is a, this is a bigger issue that the kind of area that is as is going to be insane. 17000. 00 rivals in a year is manageable for a country like spain, part of the European Union. It is not manageable for diac if the level of kind of reactions that these, as you said, is your heart did all certainties. Ari folman, well, they cannot hope anymore. But larger scale it is manageable and here indeed, this is what were calling for. Additional attention, Additional Resources planned that are making, being made very concrete very quickly. Does no time for any long term plan, does it time for now and Immediate Response with a lot of the sources, human resources, physical resources, and a proper migration and asylum. This is, this is what is needed now, and ive talked about the conditions and i would like just to bring this in perspective, that there is a very large number of Reception Centers around the archipelago run by interviews in this is true in the past and hasnt in other, in other parts of the archipelago, but those structures are equally, completely overwhelmed. Ok, what, whats the u. N. H. C. R. As role . What is your organizations role in addressing the migration challenge in europe . Well, the my actions alums in europe are very largely considered by you in h. R. And by all as nicks flows. And this is the part where we come in unit you are at the u. N. Agencies for refugees come in when it comes to d. N. C. National protection needs the obligation, internationally gay sions all Member States to fulfill this alleviation. Indeed to protect, to receive in conditions, very dignified, inhumane persons in need of International Protection in a situation like the canary islands. For example, what weve done is we have called upon to do tensions to arrivals from and from going to far if countries where we think this situation is prone to trigger forced arrivals, people that have no choice but to flee or war in their situations.
