Life well planned. The freeman foundation. By judy and Peter Blum Kovler foundation; pursuing solutions for americas neglected needs. And by contributions to this pbs station from viewers like you. Thank you. France has announced outside curfews to curb covid19. If we follow the curfew, we will reducehe number of contacts. That is the point that we think that we can stop it. Europe has seen new coronavirus cases everyday. In the u. K. , politicians are divided on how to tackle the situation. The who has this. We have to hold the virus at bay, but we have to find a way to do this through working together. Amy Coney Barrett is back in the u. S. Senate for the third day of the hearings. We will up eight you on that. In bangkok, clashes with protesters after the motorcade was heckled. Lets begin todays program in france because the president has been liable for a public state of emergency being declared and announcing nighttimeurfews, all in at curbing the steep rise of covid19 infections. These measures will be enforced in paris and other cities on saturday. Some of them are marked on the map. Curfew will run daily from 9 00 a. M. To 6 00 not a clock p. M. To 9 00 a. M. There will be no restrictions on public transport at all. The president has been justified on french duty. His son if during the six weeks, we follow the curve view, we n actively reduce the number of contacts. Think we can prove progressively start to open up again. I am being careful because experiences show we cannot control everything. Six weeks seem to be the best duration for our actions. Lets look at the statistics in france. Here are the daily cases of past month. French hospitals have now more than 1. 5 1,500 cases. And the number of people in hospital with cobit is up to levels that we saw in may. These restrictions had already been before the announcements so this builds on it. In paris, lets talk through this. I am interested nothing on transport, schools, or universities. The economic sufferers on theaters, bars, anywhere that can ke place in the evening. One of the big urban centers, paris, marseilles, they will be required to return home by 9 00. It will be a bit like confinement because i suspect there will be a rule that comes anywhere you need a bit of paper to show the police if we do go out and there will be some valid reasons that will allow us to go out. Other than that, we will be required to stay in. The streets will be very quiet indeed. The point is that the target of all this is not restaurants, but what it iss young people getting together. We saw in all the cities a couple weeks ago, increasing measures that had bars shutting earlier, and it was clea that the target was young people because young people were drinking, fraternizing and spreading the virus promiscuously and that was deemed to be unacceptable. The first measure was the shutdown bars, but all young people and when i say young, i say people in their 20s and 30s, are going to have arties at home and that seemed to happen. There were plenty of people partying for the night. And so this is the response to that. You will not be able to have these parties, these house ies. Un you are prepared to have 30 or 40 people sleep on your floor every night. There is no point in having them around anymore. So that is clearly the target. It doesnt spell it out, but clearly the feeling is that young people who are not particularly worried personally about the virus who are still intermingling in an unacceptable way and this is supposed to stop them. Wax and uc i was curious fm that clip that he seems to be downplaying expectations that this sixweek stretch alone will solve the problem. Everyon is playing a middle of next year kind of game. They are saying things in other countries. Clearly, on the horizon, christmas, he will not want to say anything now that is going to dampen down the possibility of a reasonable is missed. He is holding out on the possibility that the six weeks from now, the number of cases will be down from the 20,000 that it is today from the three or 5000, and he is saying that we can start to use these restrictions quite clearly. He would be happy if that were to happen, but there is no guarantee in it. It has to be said that where curfews have been applied in france, and they were in the French Guiana over the summer and they were briefly applied in the east, they do seem to have worked. He is holding out hope that by christmas, the second wave everyo is calling it that. The second wave will have passed and he hopes that in the endgame, we will see a prospect and much more simple, universal testing, self testing that you talked about around the corner. Thank. We appreciate you taking us through that. Here are the latest figures. The daily total cases is up. At this time to over 90,700. That is 2000 higher than the day before. Putting that in context, heres our heth correspondent. In the last week, that is an increase of 21 . Bit more context, this time last month, we were looking at 4000 cases. You can see the way this is going. From cases, you go on to hospital admissions. Over the last week, the number has gone up by about 45 . There is another increase. The figure i always think about is ventilators. At the minute, there are 516 people who are so sick with covid that they have to be treated on ventilators. On the same date a month ago, it was 91. First of all, Northern Ireland is has posed the toughest restrictions. All pubs and restaurants are shut for a month. Heres our reporter in belfast. Clop they might. And extended holidays on the way. Two weeks instead of one for the half term break. You c make plans, you have children things like that. You have to make sure that the children are going to be cared for. A return to tighter restrictions must not roll on indefinitely. Latenight disagreements from last night, there it took some time for parties to agree how far they should go. The tougher extractions were a compromise after a push to go further, but they were holding back. These decisions will make a huge impact on peoples lives. But they are for four weeks. We are determined that this will be timelimited. If we do not get our act gather, we are going to have to impose more restrictions. The fact that the impositions of restrictions like this of the first lockdown were a blunt instrument. Restaurant in belfast reopened a week ago. Now it is estimated that the new closuresill come at a cost of 700 pounds Northern Islands economy. Irelands economy. The slow but steady creep of rising cases since august has seen medical advisors in ireland shinto law down much pushing to lock down much harder. We need more severe restrictions for a longer ribbing of time because we have a real problem a longer period of time use we have a real problem. And whether larger parts of the u. K. Might follow. To wales, the government there has banned people from traveling into wales from virus hotspots elsewhere in the u. K. They requested travel restrictions, but they did not get a reply fromoris johnson. The Prime Minister has received the reply. I have asked for them necessary work to be brought forward that woul allow powers to be used to prevent people fm traveling into wales. This new rule will come into effect on friday. Heres Thomas Morgan in cardiff. Is expected that areas such as the north of england, enhanced measures in scotland, potentially the whole of Northern Ireland after this ban of entry to wales. The decision is one that is not taken lightly. It has been made to prevent the spread of infection iales because there was a suggestion that people coming to wales from areas such as the north of england where there has been a high number of coronavirus cases coming into wales in the north where there is not much u. K. Ministers have said that there is not any definitive proof to prove that that is the case. Mr. Johnson was reluctant to accept the first ministers request. The first minister had warned that if that was not going to happen, he was going to take matters into his own hands. What he has now announced, how it will be policed, at the moment people in wales, the local lock measures, they cannot leave their areas. Otherwise, they would be breaking the law without a reasonable excuse area that will technically be the same after friday coming from those high prevalent areas. Next, england. Boris johnson defended his new strategy. Millions are living with stricter restrictions, and he has been fending the National Lockdown. This was in parliament. The advice i have today, mr. Speaker, is that if we do the regional approach recommended itself to the hands and to the right gentlemen on monday, we can bring down the virus. Yesterday, for theirst time during this pandemic, there was a majopolicy difference in covid between the opposition and the government. The oppition of the labour party announced that it wants a short lockdown. Circuit breaker for two or three weeks. The infection re has quadrupled. Hospital admissions have gone from 275 a day 260 yesterday, patients were on ventilators and a number of deaths was tragically the highest since june. What is the Prime Ministers view on why these numbers are all heading in the wrong election direction . I said it quite clearly in the house on mday and difference between this stage of the pandemic is now snows very well is that the disease is appearing much more strongly imparts of the country than in others. The numbers are running against 33 cases per 100,000 in cornwall. Against 32 and north that is why the tiered approach, the threetiered approach that we set out on monday, and that he then supported is the right way forward. So a lot of divisions here. You might be thinking, what does the who recommend that the u. K. Do . David navarra is joining us. Please do what you can to tackle this problem dialogue between people and authorities. Through integrated local action and yes, when the situation gets really serious, localized movement restrictions. But we really do encourage National Lockdown to be used as rarely as possible. And that is because we see the extraordinary bad consequent as of lockdown. We are not saying that the virus go and do the problems it has to, no. We have the keep the buyers at bay. But we have to do this by working together, cooperating. It is very distressing to see the issue becoming a political football. Much more about covid19 on the bbc news website, bbc. Com news. We will turn to the senate and washington as the hearings continue into its third day. The dutch government has proved plans for euthanasia for terminally ill children. The new law will apply to incurably Sick Children who are experiencing unbearable pain and have no hope of recovery. It comes after the report was published that found small groups of very Young Children were suffering because doctors were afraid to take the action that was hazing there the law is designed to offer those doctors greater Legal Protections and add transparency to the system. It has caused intense debates here in the netherlands. Legalized euthanasia, after a month of debates, the legislation would affect five to 10 children a year. It is expected to be introduced in the next few months. I would lead story comes from france with the government is bringing in a nighttime curfew for paris and eight other cities. All with the aim of controlling covid19. Next, we will turn to an extraordinary day in thailand. Protesters in bangkok are protesting the kings powers. That is remarkable because thai constitution says that the king must be held in a revered worship and the protesters want the removal because he is a formal leader that rolled thailand through 2014 until leslie last year. Here we see the king and queen being driven by motorcade through the protesters and this is what we did them. What greeted them. Some of the protesters are using an antigovernment three finger salute, something that we think came from the film hundred games. You can see the heavy Police Presence too. There was a counter protest as well. [engine revving] we came out dressed in the royal yellow color and this is another video where royalist dressed in yellow are washing with protesters and police getting involved, too. These are the latest pictures. The antigovernment rally is still going on of the Prime Ministers headquarters. There has been an unprecedented series of protests in recent months. Our reporter was at this most recent one. This looks like the end of a protest of high tension. Perhaps the most sensitive spots in bangkok, and avenue where king was going in a motorcade. When we have had one of these big protests, everyone wondered if the king was being in some way insulted or not respect. There were large numbers of yellow shirts and supporters out there. In the end, these student protesters decided to avoid confrontation and moved up here just outside the opposite of the Prime Minister. The police have put up concrete barricades, razor wire, but they are keeping their spirits out. The movement is pushing along. It is still strong. Given what these protesters are asking for, this is a revolutionary moment for thailand. Many such confrontations in the past have ended violently in this country. Everyone is trying to keep it civilized and organized and at every point, they are trying to negotiate their way through. Therwill be no doubt at all about how divided these people are. The way in which politics is on the way, the way that politics has and the re of the menarche and government that hasnt stuck to the wall. The men in the middle of the story he has been king since 2016. He has been married four times and has seven children and friends much of his time in germany. He is also very rich with an estimated bothf the u. S. Dollars. That makes him the wealthiest ruler in the world. This Prime Minister has been reeling the country since ruling the country since 2014. The students want a constitution that is more accountable to the people. And also, they want a reform of the monarchy, which they say they want a monarchy that is accountable to the people. Do they have the support of any of the Political Parties . Many parties have been supportive of the youth. You have the government parties that have been trying to delay all the demands by the students to come up with a new constitution, but you have some opposition parties that seem to be supporting the students as well, but they have the minorities trying to push this forward. I was surprised when i saw these protest. Arent those protesters baking the strict rules are on monarchy in thailand . There are laws that you are not allowed offend the king or queen, you could face a jail term of a maximum of 15 years this is very unprecedented thats insane you came out and drove to protest and amend a reform of the menarche monarchy. This is never happened in my generation, but in this young generation, they have been brave on this and we do not know what could happen. We are searching to washington and the confirmation hearing of amy Coney Barrett. Shes donald trump sophias voice for Donald Trumps choice for Supreme Court justice. Everyone taking part in this knows that the confirmation will mean a 6 to 3 majority of republicans on the court. This is lindsey graham. This is history being made, folks. This is the first time in American History that we have nominated a woman who is unashamedly prolife and embraces her faith without apology. She is going to the court, a seat at the table is waiting on you and will be a great signal to all young women who want to share your view of the world that there is a seat at the table for them. One of the key issues that democrats have focused on his abon. Amy Coney Barrett has refused to share her views on this hearing, but she does consider this tbe a super president which means that it still could be challenged. There are everything from incremental restrictions, limits on medication abortion, the most safe and common methods of abortion, bands on laws that ban abortion. One of those laws or more will be challenged. There will be ruling lowered boards and Supreme Court will have the opportunity to weigh in if it wants and we believe that the courts will do that in the years to come. Another issue is whether Supreme Court proceedings should be filled, something that does not happen now. This is amy Coney Barrett addressing that. Would you keep in open mind about keeping cameras in the Supreme Court . I will certainly keep an open mind. The hearings have been reonably lowkey, but one moment has gone viral. Is there anything on it . The letterhead that says United States senate. That is impressive. People have been having fun about the blank notepad. What amy Coney Barretts notepad really should have said delay this until the inauguration, a reference to the fact that liberals in america would rather this process happen on the other set of election day. This is the right Wing Organization for america. The tweets imagine that amy about the law, and there are plenty of others bides. What were expecting is that on october 22nd, the Senate Judiciary committee although to move her nomination to the full senate and the senate itself would vote on october 26. A week before the election, President Trump will be able to say that he had nominated a third justice to the Supreme Court. For republicans, that is important for them to emphasize. They want to the script and not talk about coronavirus. They are emphasizing the fact that justice beck that judge barrett is a mother of seven and an icon to conservative women. Theyre hoping that she will close with hooks to be a considerable gender gap with joe biden pulling signifantly better with women than the president. Thank you very much for watching.
