Responsible leadership matters, science matters and misinformation kills. T we fi learned of the virus 10 months ago in china. You will remember thes images from a Seafood Market in wuhan suspected be the center of the outbreak. Wuhan recorded their firsteath on january 11. First then the world marked its first major milestone when deaths marked than three months later the figure passed half a million and here were, one million recorded deaths. 3816 deaths a day, 159 every hour or one person dying every 30 seconds. This pandemi is far from being under contro something the who reminded us of David Navarro speaking to the bbc. Ertainly it has picked up in the last few weeks. We have seen ireasing numbers all over europe, canada russia, as well. Also the virus is spreading in we must not assume this is. Anywhere near the end of it. It feels remarkably as though we are going back into the dark space again. Three countries account for nearly half they are brazil, india, and the u. S. Together ty recorded 15 million cases of the 33 million worldwide. Daily cases across the globe ari quickly. Here is the w. H. O. What we should do to control it. We all have a role to play to otect ourselves and our loved ones. Those basethods such as avoiding close contact, wearing masks, trying to reduce the risk. Host ooe willat latin america and europe, but the u. S. Has the highest fatality so far. 205,000 deaths, 7 million cases. Although the u. S. Did manage to get its daily infection rate down from the peaks we saw in july of around 60,000 new infections a day, we are seeing the virus surge in many ss in the u. S. Utah, northa, dakouth dakota. Also a serious situation in wisconsin. We are seeing Health Systems across the world come under pressure. Host brazil and more sobering statistics, itaneported more 4 141,000 deaths. Cases arehe at 7. 4 million, highest in the world are these stark images illustrate the crisis row upon row of graves. This was captured in the capitl of brazil amazona state to dargentinpite an early and Strict Lockdown is catching up withh razil wrus cases. It has more than 700,000 recorded infections. We talked about columbia, peru and mico which had outbreaks and deaths well into the thousands. Arstafincreasingly under pressure. Here is a reminder of the that. These pictures have come into the newsroom from the peruvian capital, lima. Doctors are demandinbetter personal equipment to carry out their jobs. The situation in peru and many other countries in Latino America has to with the informal jobs at stor p a lot of people in these countries are selfemployed and have to go out on the streets to earn their living. What this has created is a situation in which because people were inheir homes and not able to go out and not able to earn their living, create a financial storm that right now is being evidenced in peru, the World Labor Organization is saying the situation in peru and other latin american couelries could go beyond 2022. Host what about those countries trying to get to some sort of normality . Columbia started International Flights last week. Guest we saw columbia restart inrnational flights. Mexico has a colorcoded region. We have seen in argentina a case of arit telling people going and being prosecuted for having risk the lives of people in his congregation. Host let focus on europe. We have seen a resurgence in infections across the continent. Look at the netherlands and germany. Spain is seeing a steep rise in cases. Here is guy hedgko in madrid. Ere is guy hedgko. 750,000 cases registered since the pandemic began. A phenomenon we have seen growing since the end of the National Lockdown at the end of june when restrictions were lifted. We have seen cas rising steadily and moreha recently trend has accelerated. The number of deaths andns hospitalizats smal compared to the peak of the first waven march and april, but the big concern is the number of infections. Were seeing outbreaks across the country. Today in the north of the country introduced restrictions toun a 40,000 people in terms of movement. The big focus of infections is the city of madrid and of the region of madrid, which has been introducing new restrictions on movement and social activity. Host germany, new limits on gathering brought in to control the infection rates which have been rising for weeks. And those who leave false Contact Information at restaurants will face fines. Here is jenny hill in berlin. Reporter germany is the country recognized around the world for having got over its initial infection outbreak relatively well. The numbers arego starting t up, though they remain lower than what we have seen in other European Countries like france, spain and the u. K. In the last week or so the new daily infections have exceeded 2000 times. Host one more update in europe. The netherlands has largely avoided large restrictions, but now we see a rise in cases and tough measures to deal with it. We have an update from the hague. Reporter people are advised to wear masks shops since the first hague, amsterdam. C in the bars and restaurants have to close at 10 00. Fa are not allowed to go to sports matches and that includes places like this. Parents cannot watch their Children Play sports. People are being advised to work from home when possible, stay inside if they have corona viruslike symptoms. Theyre looking at 20,000 new infections every week. Since lastk w 20,000 new infections. Next week there expecting 5000 today. Host there are many challges en we compare how well countries are doing. Some nations test more than others and count deaths in different ways. To digest this, here is the bbcs head of data science. The number of deaths we are seeing every day is surpassed ty thal number of victimsf the virus. If you look at the u. K. , we have seen 57,000 deaths where the doctor w certified cov involved. But looking at the dailyit figu, s much smaller, 40,000 instead of 57,008 if you are miting inesting, as most are around the world, the number of dehs is driven by the number of tests you do, and that is differentt in differ countries. The u. K. Is doing four times as many tests as india, nine times as many cpared to brazil. Course we will get different figures. I would be very wary of using the number of deaths we see every day to compare between utcountries,ore to look at the trends, compare what is happening within any given untry or region. Host we will bring you the latest on the coronavirus developments in the u. K. Later in the program. Lets turn to belarus. The u. K. And canada have imposed sanctions on president lushenko and his officials because of election f aud and violeninst protesters. Here is the u. K. s foreign there is a narrow window of opportunity to influent is happening. You cannot have the likes ofka enko and putin think Human Rights Violations can just pass host they say they coordinated sanctions to uphold Democratic Values a put pressure on those responsible. The u. s sanctions president , and National Security advisor and chief of staff. Mr. Lukashenko continues to hold onto power in spite of mass protests and claims the vote they gave him 80 was rigged. He denies election fraud. They have offered euros help. His comments came after he met in lithuania after she fled. He said time wasrucial. A lot of people are suffering because of thiseg re. Too many peoplere in jails. He will do everything he can to release prisoners. Host a longtime ally, russia,nd continues to sy president lukashenko. President putin says belarus found itself in difficult situation, unprecedented external pressure after president ial elections. Relations between russia and belarus are stronger than time or economic circumstances and are based on a solid foundation. Lets hear how effective these sanctions might be. Experts already discussed how effective they can be. Otthey are the first sanctions lukashenko many of these target his son and various heads of security forces, head of army. Ey do not travel to canada or the united kingdom. I would say these sanctions are very significant. They matter more as a signal rather than as a direct action which will influence or be a push. Host how signicant were those scenes of svetlana meeting Emmanuel Macron of france . This was a very symbolic meeting, important for tsikhanouskayand other members of the opposition. Here the trouble is the European Union has nointroduced sanctions. Cyprus has been working on that decision for a while. The main challenge for my crown and leaders is to agree where the sanctions for the europ bn union shouintroduced and whether those should be political. The thing which does matter for lukashenko is his economy. He relies on support from security for and people who work at the factories. As you remember from previous months, he got worried when factory workers started to protest. Host stay with us on outside source. Ill to come, Amnesty International halts its work in india, blaming the iian government for incessant reprisals. We will have an update. Host t of talks in the freetrade deal between the u. K. And European Union have taken place in brussels. Both sides say they need to reach an agreement next month. Here is our correspondent nick beek in brussels. Nick it is clear some concessions have to be made. People will tell you the same on both sides. Yes, a deal cabe done, it is just the otherot is not willing to give ground. Give ground is what both sides will have to do, specifically on the big areas that divide them at the moment. That is on fishing. I think the e. Will have to acknowledge it is a strong area rer the british and till be more british boats catching british fish in british waters. In terms of london giving grounds, there has to be acknowledgment brussels wants to see the british signing up to things like food and agricultural standards and giving someesort of guara when it comes to things like government subsidies in the future.

But i spoke to a alogovernment t. If that space for is that space for dissent in india dissipating . I dont buy that. T everybody is worried about the Prime Minister o pthe party er. Reporter in a vast, dkeerse country india, democracy has long been seen as a real [indiscernible] now seen taking a worrying turn. Host in the u. K. Even tougher lockdown measures will come in force to the northeast of england. The governmt has bn accused creating uncertainty over the restrictions. First, lets take a look at wh a the new rule. They are focused on households mixing. The northeast it is illegal to mix with other households in homes or gardens. From tomorrow that will be indoor public venues including pubs and restaurants. Meeting outdoors in groups of to six will not be illegal, but meeting a friend for a drink or meal is breaking the w, there is a 200 pound fine for the first offense. The u. K. Has seen 7143 ces confirmed. There was no mass testing in march and april so the number of cases then are likely to have been higher. 71 new deaths have been recorded. New restrictions coming into force in the northeast because it rspains a h for the virus and seems to be spreading between households. Here is the director of health, alice wiseman. Alice 80 are close contacts, those who identify with close contact to a cod positive case. Atwhether s in the household, back gardens,. Spitality secto we have aon s number of young people testing positive. More tha 80 are in the working age population. We want to target the moment we are seeing. Host local leaders have welcomed theghanges, s it is necessary to stop the ansmission of the virus, but they are critical of the way the govement has gone about it my worry is the way the government is doing this, in a pretty shambolic way, i asorry to say. I take no pride takeg a shot at overnment in this. We have got to be working together. By not doing so we are vdermining ty thing we want to achieve, which is keeping people safe. Host even members of the governments are caught up in the complexity of the rules. I know the rest of the country generally you can meet in a pub and book a table and restrictions are indoors. [indiscernible] no, i dont know the answer to that question. Hi donte details of those seven areas. If you cant give us the answer to that, how do you expect people to keep uptodate with the latest ruleshen even you as a government minister cannot answer that question . I am sorry i cannot answer that question. I do not represent the northeast. Tost that was the Education Minister speakinhe bbc this morning. Take a look at this, Boris Johnson being quizzed on the rules earlieroday. It is six inhome or hospitality. Host that is wrong. Gatherings of more than six people are banned bothndoors and outdoors across england with even tighter restrictions about to come into force in the northeast. That prompted this tweet from the primeog minister. Aps, i misspoke today. In the northeast numeralss mean you cannot meet in social settings indoors including pubs restaurants ur home. You should also avoid socializing with other housolds outside. The Opposition Labor Party said the Prime Minister is grossly g thepetent for not know rules. We have been following thy today. Here is analysis. There is a lotn of concern parliament and the u. K. That ministers make decisions without mu k scrutiny. W the labourarty are worried about that. They say the government is not on top of this and needs to speak to mps. There is a growing number of mps in Boris Johnsons own party putting pressure to have more of a say when the government wants to bring in more restrictions. They are concerned some of the measures go to far and secondly, that they dont make sense. If the Prime Minister cannot explain what the measures are and why they are in pla, that will only add to confusion. Has this pandemic becotes more compli and the rules become more nuanced, it is important politicians can take the publics with them and de them of the need for some of these restrictions. At the moment there is a question over how well that is working. The next few weeks we expect tor hear mor Boris Johnson trying to emphasize why some of those rules are in place. Host before we go, lets show you these pictures of giant aleppo goes tortoises being reased on San Cristobal island off the coast of ecuador. It is part of the captive breeding program. 36 tortoises will join the northwest of the island. Thes tortoises are between six and eight years old. There they go, setting off on their new life.
