Eu leaders meet in brussels for the First Time Since the beginning of the pandemic. They are strugglingo t agree on a coronavis recovery package. E. A solution is possi the solution is what are people in europe expect from us because it itheir jobs that are at stake. Nancy a new quicker test for salivronavirus using goes on trial in britain. Ow its captain sir tom moore. Nancy hello and welcome. The u. S. Government leading Infectious Disease expert, anthony,ld aforcefully as possible to wear masks to stop the rise of the coronavirus. He assured americans that the pandemic will eventually he overcome, bu told an online conference that the Current Situation in the u. S. Looked bleak. On thursday, the u registered another daily record for cases. Than 77,000. I can say ia Public Health official, i can urge other lenders in states and cities towns to be as forceful as possible in getting your citizens to wear masks. Masks are important. As part of the physical distancing. Physical distancing is the most important part. But practically when you are living our life and trying to open up the country, you are going to come into contact with people. Thfo reason, we know that masks are really important. We should be using them, everyone. Nancy that was dr fauci speaking. Wh mee, the governor of torture is suing authorities in atlanta to prevent the city fe m enforcing quirement to wear masks and public. Governor kemp signed an executive order earlier this wete avoiding mask man across the state saying atlantas c mayldnt enforce the rules. I know that many georgians want a mask mandate. While we agree that wearing a mask is effective, am confident that georgians dont need a mask to do the right thing. Nancy for more on the decision, here is our washington correspondent. T governor believes it is a step too far in terms of government and government overreach to mandate these things whichtlanta has done and a number of other meat is the polities in georgia have alsoone. He believes it is a good and he took a tour of the state encouraging pele to wear masks. He just doesnt think the local authorities should have the power to tell people to do it. American society. E argument of to what extent is the individual subject to the power of the Political Authority . Nancy amir for rookie is one of those being sued by the government of georgia. He serves on the city council of atlanta. Thank you for making time to talk to us. Were you surprised to find out you were being sued by the governor . Thankou. Is a bit perplexing. I dont think the logic makes sense. You just hea from dr. Fauci that municipalities shou be as strong as possible to wear masks. We saw a surge and we just had 3500 cases yesterday. Most oas those are in the city of atlanta. The governors decision to sue our mayor who has made the right call in pushing for a mask mandate and the council is misplaced. Nancy the governor maintains that everyone wearing a mask is effective. His point is that georgians dont need a mandate to do the right thing. It is not so much about the mask wearing as how do you enforce it . It e is a fair questionept that t data shows otherwise. Cases continue to rise in a framework in which we are not pushing hard enough on georgians to wear masks. The lawsuit was predicated by wanting ptect the businesses in the city of atlanta. There are two important counterpoints. The mask mandate recognizes the states prohibition on entercing a man and it was recommendations. Business after business has said to me they appreciate the safer for their employees and patronshe to visit businesses. The logic falls flat. It isnderstandable to ma the argument, but the data doesnt support it. Nancy have been hearing from dr. Fauci and he says its important for everyone to wear a mask. How much weight does the advice from scientists carry now and little circles . Unfortunately, we have seen this across the country and the world has seen this as well, the coronavirus has been politicize Public Health should be looking out for the wellbeing of evyone. This has become a political football in the united states. One that is couched in individualism versus the greater good. Americans who live in cities in post proximity are more sensitive to this than americans who live in rural areas. The science continues to support distancing and wearing a mk i going to help us reduce the rate of infection which is what we need to get back to normal. Great to have you. Y much. Emmanuel macron says the eu is approaching a defining moment. The leaders of the 27 eu afternoon in brussels for theis First Time Since the beginning of the pandemic. They are all wearingasks. None of the warm embraces we usually see at the beginning of a summit. The big issue is the future of the recovery fund. In may, the european commiion presente a 750 billion euro plan to help countries overcome the economic shock of the coronavirus. Under that plan, 500 billion euros would be distributed to the worst hit countries in the form of grants rather than loans, which would mean most of it is never paid back. All 27 members understand the there are four countriesstbut a, denmark, sweden, and the netherlands who want reform in the southern europeantas in the job markets and pensions in return for the money that will be paid. Questions as whether the bunny should come in the form of grants rather than loans. R correspondent has more from brussels. There are many cupocations in the summit. There are many complications in the summit. The budget, the next seven years of funding, all ofn the europ countries means leaders have to put more money into c thefers, more from their pockets. Getting into that building behind m it is the first time leaders have sat around thend table togetherhey all came in in different masks in colors and sizes. When they did sit down together, its the first time they had people in a room. There were about 30 or so. Usually, these rooms he 500 people. They distanced themselves. Gela merkel, is her birthdayda to she is choosing to be here to sort out this collective fund to get the economy going again. She was swapping presence with the portuguese premised or as she gave him an old map. He gave her a book about being i think she was al given rosewater oil by the bulgarian when she arrived and told sreport what her ambitions were, she was straightforward. We will need lots of compromise from all sides to create something good for europe and good for the people during this pandemic. Also, a good economic response given the diffilties we are facing. That is why i am expecting very difficult discussions. We heard a similar reluctant optimism from the spanish prime minister, the french president as well. The bigssue is that 500 billion euros, as part of the fund to help economies goes to those hae est hit in rm of grants. Four cries are Still Holding out saying that they need some kind of guarantee thathis money will be properly spent if they are going to get involv at all. Hewant to keep rebate. The big contributors dont get much back in terms of what they put in. They are going to scrap that. S itl quite complicated. We dont believe ins tnt based system. What we have said we dont believe in the grant system. If the south is needing help from other countries, the is limited scope to deal with that financially themselves. Then i think it is only reasonable for us to ask for a clear commitment to reforms. We areod told the nside is up to mid optimistic, pragmatic, but any hopes of a significant breakthrough where they have agreed to a budget ich is said to be around one trillion euros seems to be far off. They had their cold fresh plate cold fish plate for lunch. I think we will need more masks and gel.

Governments leading expert on coronavirus, dr. Fauci, says all americans should wear masks to stop a sharp ris in infection eu leaders are meeting in heussels forirst time since the beginning of the pandemic. They have yet to agree on a recovery package for the economy. The u. N. Has increased its emergency funding appeal to more than 10 billion this year. Thathe is t deal with the worst effes of covid19. The organizations se impact of the virus if left unchecked i am joined by the u. N. Under secretary general for humanitarian affairs. Thank you very much for joining us and speaking with us. Th i understand is your largest ever fundraising call. Is that a reflection of how dire the situation is . That is exactly what it is. At the beginning of this year, we thought there would be Something Like 110 Million People arod the world in need of humanitarian assistance just to survive. Because of covid19, and the havoc and destruction it is wreang now, that is increased to 250 million pple. That is why we are asking for is extra 10 billion now which takes it to a total of 40 billion which we need to avoid a whole cascading series of shuman tragedies human tragedies. Tell us a bit about where this money would go and wha it would be used for. What are the greatest areas of need . We are working in 63 countries. A lot of them in africa. Also, in the middle east, parts of latin america and south asia. On covid, we have personal protective equipment f half a Million Health workers.

Routin immunizations. Prenatal care for women expecting babies. Essential care for newborns. Weseeed to build up all of t things because the crisis goes beyond the virus and isot having r side effects. Nancy briefly, the message you are sending is that richer nations have thrown out the financial rulebook in order to save their economies. They should do the same toon sae corona could that mean that they have their hands full at a time like this the problem i described to do, soluble problems by and large. With some ooney and a modic imagination, this is not a usual situation. E rich world has been wrecked to take extraordinary measures to protect their own economy. They would be compassionate but also smart in their own interest to do the same sorts of things for the poorer parts of the world. If this virus is not contained there, it will be back to bite everybody. If g out of control, that comes back to bite the rich world as well. We are seeing problems in exportable. This is not just an issue of me calling for compassion. This is advice on the smart thing to do. Ant to pay at bigger price later for the group of 20 countries whose finance e ministers eting this weekend and the other rich economies. Nancy thank you so much for joining us tay. Here in the u. K. , a quicker less coronavirus is being piloted in southampton. Thoue nds of peoe having saliva samples analyzed rather than the swab test that people find uncomfortable. If it goes well, more than c 250,000 peopld be offered weekly tests. Tak. The lid o never h testing coronavirus been so simple. Lean your head forward to t some saliva in the front of your mouth then spit. Jane, who is a nurse, and her three children are part of a trial in southhampton involving weekly testing of saliva. It is an alternative to nose and throat swab test which many find unpleasant. It is quite, uncomfortab especially if you have a cough. It can trigger a cough. It is much easier to do. Most pele with coronavirus have no symptoms on the day they are tested. Regular saliva sampling could be a way of detecting cases earlier. After months of homeschooling and lockdown, it might allow a return to normal life. To lp get it over with, the pandemic over wh and make it change lives. If the fourweek trial is successful, the whole of southhampton, more than to hunt 50,000 people could beev offered lisa test in a bid to prevent infections from spreading. It seems that people become positive in their saliva before they become positive in their if we are seeking to pick up this early spread, this may be the way forward. If the trial here goes well, saliva testing could play an increasing role in controlling thidcoronavirus ic. Weekly testing could be done in schools, care homes, or in hopots to try to prevent outbreaks from getting out of control. Anher advantage is speed. It takes 20 minutes for this laboratory get a result. Compared to ours for it different test. The key remaining question is whether the saliva test is Accurate Enough to be rolled out widely. Eventi potly nationwide as a way to end the epidemic altogether this saliva test has potential to be done on a very large scale in multiple locations and it can be done at speed. It could be almost drivethru. You take the sample, run the test, you have a resul this could revolutionize the way you carry out surveillance. Could ts be the way forward for us a to have regular testing like jane andd family an perhaps a way of allowing us to ciabandon soal distancing . Nay a massive chinese fishing fleet h defended on the edge of the galapagos Protection Zone. It is threatening to decimate the biodiversity. The Galapagos Islands are a World Heritage site in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of door. You will be familiar with some of their species.

A major migration route for those endangered species the travel through breeding, feeding, and to seek refuge. Waves of Plastic Waste of chinese origin coming up on shore of the park. Lastear, 245 chinese vessels were detected in the area. You may have seen this fromhe 27 when talapagos National Park intercepted a chinese vessel carrying 6000 tons of dead sharks. Some othem, endangered hammerheads. Lthe doctor isding specialist. He explained more about the boundaes of the protected zone. When the reserve was created in 1998, it was the second largest Arena Reserve in the world. It when it was created, we didnt understandhe extent of the movement of the animals we were trying to protect. Over the last 1015 years, we have been tracking sharks. They dont understand where the boundaries are. We find that they are moving offshore and into international wabirs. This is concern for us. We share our populations not just with galapagos but with costa rica. Ving back and forth between different marine reserves. There has been a Monitoring Program that shows that hammerhead sharks, the numbers have declined by most 50 in the last 20 years, despite the fac that they ar moving between marine reserves. En youeave the marine reserve, you are vulnerable to the hooks and nets out there. Nancy now to some good news.
