Weome to outside source. In the u. , the toughest coronavirus restrictns since lockdown are coming into force. Prime minister Boris Johnson in a few minutes. G the country we will bring you that speech and talk about what it means. In the u. S. , 200,000 people confirmed to have died from coronavirus. Just look at the lives lost and multiply it. The family and since ofbut by community, the loss to our country. Anchor the predent is clear about who he blames. We must hold accountable the nation which unleashedag this onto the world china. Anchor an outspokef critic o the chinese president is being jailed for corruption. He was said to confess, but weo will speak our chinese experts, who say that should not be taken at face value. We will turn to the u. S. Passing 200,000 coronavirus deaths in a few minutes, but first of all, Prime Minister doris ponce and jaw responsys and Boris Johnson addresses the nation. Heet out new restrictions across england warning they could last six months. The other nations of the u. K. Have announced new restrictions. Here is Boris Johnsons statement in full. Ood. Se struggle against c the single biggest crisis thes world ced in my lifetime. In ls than a year, thi disease has killed almost a Million People and caused havoc to economies evewhere. Here in the u. K. , we mourn every person lost and grieve with their families, and yet i am more certain than ever that this is a struggle that humanitl in, and that we in this country will win. To achieve what we i must,ant to talk to you directly tonight fact the choices that we none of them easy, and why we must take action now. I know that we can succeed because we have succeeded before. When the sickness took hold in this country in march, we pulled together in the spirit of national sacrifice and community. Lowed the guidance to th letter. We stayed at home, protected the nhs, and saved thousands of lives. And for months, with those disciplines of cial distancingwe have kept that virus at bay. We have acknowledge that this is a great and freedom loving country, and while the vast majority have complied with the rules, there have been too many breaches, too many opportunities for our invisible enemy to slip through undetected. The virus has started to spread again in an exponential way. Infections are up, hospital admissio are climbing. Ngwe can see what is happe in france and spain, and we know, fatal than it was in the springs and that the vast majority of our people are no lessbl suscep and the iron laws shouting at us from the grasse that we risk many re deaths. Many more families losing lo bd onore their time. I know that facedri with that , the british people will want their government to continue to fight to protect them you. That is what we are doing night and yet the single greatest weapon we bring to this fight is onthe coense of the people themselves, the joint resolve o this country to Work Together to suppress covid now. So today i said at a package of tougher measures in england. Early closings for pubs,ars, tableervice only, closing businesses that are not covid secure, face coverings, new fines for businesses that failed to comply, once again asking offirs to work from home asking Office Workers truwork from home if they can. A tougher package of national easure combineith the potential for tougher restrictions for areas already in lockdown. It already carries the support of all the main parties i parliament. With colleagues in the devolved administrations, ielieve this is shared across the whole u. K. To those who say we do not need this stuff and should leave people to take their own risks, i say these risks are not o the tragic reality of having covid is that your mild cough can be someone elses deathknell. As for thest sugn that we should simply lock up the elderly and the vulnerable, with all the suffering that would entail, i must tell you this is let the virus rip through the rest of the population, it would inevitably find its way through to the elderly as well, and in much greater numbers. That why we need to suppress the virus now. As for that minority who may continue to flout the rules, we will enforce those rules withna tougher ies and fines of up to 10,000 pounds. We will put more police out on the streets and use the army toa fill if necessary. And, of course, i am deeply, spiritually reluctant to make y of these impositions or infringe anyones freedom, but unless we take action, the risk is that we will have to go with ugher measures later when the we have a huge caseload ofand infection such as we had in the spring. If we let this virus get out of control nme, it woul that our nhs woulde, hnce again, to deal with Cancer Patients and millions of other noncovid medical needs. Anif we were forced into a new national lockdown, that would threaten not just jobs and livelihoods, but the loving human contact on which we all depend. It would mea renewed loneliness and confinent for the elderly and vulnerable, and, ultimately, it wouldn threa once again the education of our children. We must do all we can to avoid going down that road again, but if people do not follow thse rules we hav out, then we mu reserve the right to go further. We must take action nowse bec a stitch in time saves nine and this way we can keep people in work. We can keep our shops and ours schoen. And we can keep our country moving forward while we Work Together toth suppres virus. That is error strategy. That is our strategy. If wehi followpackage together, i know we can succeed are better prepared than before. We had the ppp, the nightingales, new medicines, pioneered in this country, they anthough our doctors andso medical ad are rightly worried about the data now and the risks overwinter, they are things will b far better by the spring, when we have not only the hope of vaccine, but one day soon and i must stress that we are not there yet of mass testing so efficient that peopl will be able to be tested in minutes so hey can do more of the things they love. Th is the hope. That is the dream. , it is hat it is attainable, and we are working as hard as we can to get there, but intel we do until we do, we must rely on our willingness to look out for each other, protect each other. Urnowhere in history has collective destiny and collective health depended sote comp on our individual behavior. If we follow these simple rules together, we will get through thes winter months together. Th are unquestionably difficult months to come and the ght against covid is by means over. I have no doubt, however, that there are great days abut now is the time for us all to summon the discipline and the togetherness that will carry us through. Anchor well, that was a special address by the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, just a broadcast of rushing was watching was our correspondent rob johnson. Your response . Correspoent a rallying cry to summit up. s how you would essentially, it is a simple message, a sort of twopronged message. This virus is on the march again and it is deadly. Better tha we do something now then something much more drastic later. I think it is a rallying cry, mple message. Anchor can i come up with an alternative, which is rallying cry to tory mps . He seemed to be aiming his arguments directly aoft som the counter arguments we have heard fr the mps he has in the house of commons. Correspondent i kept simple in that initial answer because i know we are always pressed for time, because i do think this is a rallying t call nation, but i made a no, absolutely, that the firepower of his arguments was directed much more to those who are reluctant to have any form of tightening of restrictions, and that is very much what you might callar the liben wing of the governing conservative party, which of course mr. Johnson normally counts himse apart a part. He said, you cannot protect just the elderly because if the virus spreads among young people, it will reach and the let the virus rip approach, he said it, if you did that, the Health System would be overwhelmed. I thought it was really interesting and i am glad you spotted it as well. Anchor it is interesting to watctheic very de line the Prime Minister is trying to walk. Si do this at the moment, the balance of suppr the virus and protecting the economy. It is so delicate at the moment you could easily imagine us hearing from the Prime Minister again one way or another in a few weeks time. Correspondent what the Prime Minister has been sayingay all is perhaps something everybody would agree with, very politicierybody in this country, every country around the w world,ch is, we are protecting lives and notbetween destroying the economy. Who could object attractive proposition . The question is, will it work . That is what this is about now. Will the measures that the vernment has introduced work . Nobody is down taking t nobody is downing the argument that we should find a mide way between protecting the Health Care System and not trashing the economy. I think everybody is agreed, it is just can you find something that will work . Anchor we will find no doubt over the next few weeks. These rules annnced will apply to england, scotland, wales, northern ireland, introducing similar,ougher measures. Lets talk england. Office workers are being asked to work at home from possible. Pubs and restaurants are asked to shut at 10 00 p. M. Whether things weddings and gatherings are restricted. If you went all the details on the regulations being announced, you can find that through bbc. Com news. In a few minutes on outside source, we will turn to america because, unfortunately today, its death toll from covid19 past 200,000. Itsl death tom covid19 surpassed 200,000. Investigating the italian citizenship test. The university denies wrongdoing and suara is it is quite a story.

This is the johns hopki idiversity c9 dashboard, a widely used source of data on the pandemic, and you can see americas total there is over 200,000. This chart shows the course the virus has taken in the u. S. From initial peak in april said thisto monday apri this monday. At the washington monument, this memorial for those who have died, each flag representi 10 victims. Ener democrat nancy pelosi visited today and turned her fire on the trump administration. This was preventable. Not all of it, but much of it. And what could be lost in the future is preventable, too, if we embrace science. Science instead of politics. Just look at the lives lost andn multiply i just by the number but by the family and the sense of community, ce loss to ountry. Anchor the new yorkeugmagazine has ht to place this milestone in Congress Context to, writing in less than a year more americans have died then in Armed Conflict combined since the second world war. Here are some of Donald Trumps speech at the u. N. General assembly. We have battledgainst an invisible enemy, the china virus, which has c countless lives and 188 countries. In the United States, we launched the most aggressive mobilization since the second world war. We rapid produced a rapid supply of ventilators, creating a surplus that t allowed us share them with friends and partners all around the globe. Savinneered a life treatments, reducing our fatality rate 85 since april. Anchor we asked anthonys where to look across some of the reasons this pandemic has hadev america soely. Correspondent america is a big country, 300 30 Million People, it will have a higher death toll. I think the virusa hit very populated state, densely populated city, early on, when the treatment for the virus was not as good. New york has about 30,000 deaths and that is twice as much or the same as texas and california combined. So there is a probl with new york that happened early on, but there has been problems with handling the virus as well. Mixed messages, patchwork of health care coverage, policy on health throughout the United States, and a president who initially downayed the seriousness of the virus and had a mixed response oncegan to take it seriously. Tharted to focus on the economy rather quickly ispring. Anchor we have had two examples, those clips from nancy pelosi and President Trump, that ev though this is a health care challenge, it has always been intensely political. Correspondent it has and part of the atmosphere in the United States is intensely paisan. As soon as donald trump stepped into this and began talking about ending the lockdowns ast es, liberating places like michigan, the response to the pandemic became partisan. I was just at arump or ellie last night. A lot of them were not wearing masks. It was in ohio. They booed the republican governor of ohio because he has had a stringent response. Anchor President Trump was among those speakg at the u. N. Xiinping delivered a prerecorded address. It was delivered because this is a Virtual Event for obvious reasons. That is not stopping the tension between the u. S. And china being palpable, not least because of covid19. Here is President Trump. We must hold accountable the nation which unleashed this plague onto the world china. In the earliest days of the virus, china locked down traveled mystically while allowing place to leave china and in fact the world. China condemned my travel ban on their country even as they canceled domestic flights homes. Citizens in their the world health organization, controlled by china, falsely declared there was no evidence of human to human transmission. Later, they falsely said people without sympts would not spread the disease. Anchor some of this is not new. President trump has made a number of accusations repeatedly. Ile there is some evidence that china was slow to report the outbreak, we should know that at the timesi prent trump praised chinas early handling of the virus. President xo aoke today. Facing the virus, we should enhance solidarity. We should follow the guidance of sciencet and launch a jo International Response to beat this pandemic. Any attempt of politicizing the issue must be rejected. New york at the generaln assembly. Here is her analysis. Correspondent what you see here at the united nations, albeit remote, is really a retreat from multilateralism, certainly in the conventional sense. You have china now trying to portrayhe itself asountry all about multilateralism that will fill the void left by president trus America First policy, but the tension is palpable. President xi had to go so far as to say he does not seek a cold or a hot war, so it is the tension between the u. S. And beijing tha are dominating this. Anchor is a xi jinping backiit up his words actions . Correspondent china announced they would give another 50 million u. S. Dollars to the u. N. To fight coronavirus. Ed is another example of how i another example how, for example, china is one of the biggest funders of the world health organization. The United States over th s statesthdrawing funding from that body. But of course cwinese influence likely come at a price, and that china will want more control of the various eu and bodies it is stepping up to lea in. S u. N. Bod it is stepping up to lead in. We used to sayhat this week of the u. N. General debate was chaos. Known critic of the president has been sentenced to 18 years of prison in china. Hea businessman wigh the name bannon. He has been found b toe embezzlingublic money and accepting bribes. He has been fined at several hundred thousand dollars. He is also the former chairman of a Chinese State owned propertyroup. A march come he disappeared after publishindely shared article comparing the president to a clown w had been stripped naked but insisted on being treated like an emperor. That kind of our right condemnation of thea resident is ry rare, is Stephen Mcdonagh will explain. As Steven Mcdonnell will explain. Correspondent for people who have not lived here, they may not realiz h much of a redline it is to cross, especially given his not an tivist. He is from the countrys elite, onetime chairman of a state owned developer. He moves in the same circles as all these senior commonest party people. Communist party people. For him this about the leader was not to be tolerated. Anchor is not the first time he has had a run in with the authorities. China shut down his microblogging accounts on a social network and was ponced on suspennd the party because of that. Is now said to have voluntarily confessed to all these charges. Here is the policeman thought to be carrying him following that tosion, where we are told he has decided not appeal. Rights gups have appeale the party of using corruption charges to clampown on dissent. Correspondent there was clear that the state wanted to keep him around a tht leash n a tight leash around 2016 because he had been constantly creating controversies online. In 2016, his social media accounts were taken offline. In relation to corruption, it is difficult to tell, because he was a billionaire, huge business tycoon. So we are not entirely sure, but what we do know is that, for a long period of time,rn the gont was very unsettled with the growing boys he had ndline and the fact that he had this momentum beim of dissent. Anchor em ader that Prime MinisterBoris Johnson has called on the public to summon the discipline and resolve to foll the new credit virus rules. Announced on tuesday in a television broadcast.
