Reporter good morning, phillip. As cases grow, so do the restrictions across the continent really varying degreeing though, mostly regional weve seen some countries opting to close restaurants and bars like weve seen in parts of belgium, france, and also scotland places like italy suffered one of the most initial outbreaks and had a huge surge in cases initially. Theyve done a good job of keeping cases under control, but theyve had to impose more major restrictions giving mayors the ability to close rerestaurants and bars and impose curfews and limit group numbers. Were seeing parts of germany going back into lockdown for the First Time Since april in one district there, and were also seeing more restrictions here in the uk of varying degrees, mostly regional. Were seeing places like here in england going into a tiered system, parts of scotland going into lockdown, wales going into what is the harshest lockdown in the uk where theyre going to have a twoweek fire break where theyll close everything down to see if thats enough to stop the surging numbers there. But were seeing ireland going into a full National Lockdown for six weeks. The Prime Minister saying its probably the toughest regime in europe, but if they do this and stick to the rules, they may be able to celebrate a meaningful christmas.

The Trump Campaign releasing a statement on this, claiming that the commission is biased, that theyre changing the rules to provide an advantage to their, quote, favored candidate and then this was the reakds from President Trump himself saying that he would participate but that he thinks its very unfair that they change the topics he also called the anchor, nbcs kristen welker, biased of course, he agreed to her moderating the debate. The issue about the topics is the president said that they agreed to only talk about Foreign Policy now, obviously coronavirus has become the defining issue on the campaign trail, and he says expanding to include that and other domestic issues, not fair. The Biden Campaign responding on that, saying that the moderator chooses the topics, and both sides agree to that up front so, frances, this is going to be an interesting debate, now just about 48 hours away.
