The russians brave coronavirus fears and head to the polls for constitutional reform. He could allow president putin to stay in power it could allow president to stay in power for another 16 years. Welcome to the program. The United States is seeing a major surge in coronavirus cases , especially in the south and west of the country. Florida and texas amongst the woworst hit them each recording their highest dadaily increasesn new cases, leading to miles long lines at testing sites. They are urging visitors from hotspots to quarantine themselves. Months ago, the country faces a deepening health crisis. Back to square one. That is how this houston hospital in texas deal with theieir patieient, tripling in e last mononth. People got complalacent. People got overcononfident in or ability to manage normally, and it is biting us. Several other states,s, likie california has set new records for increases in infections this week, while other states like nortrth carolina have broken previous records for hospitalizations. If you dont do anything, looking at some of the models coming out of the policy labs and elsewhere, they look apocalyptic. In florida, the single day case couount has tripled from earlier this month. Residents brought traffic to a standstillll while linining up e tested and drive up clinics. It is transmitting quicker right now than it did in march and april, so we have to figure out the relationsnship ghouta wn you see a lot of spread the lockdown on the measures on lockdown measures being used is taking the blame. Hugh barry likely will have to close again. In longterm thinking suggests if you do it correctly, you make sure that everyone plays by the rules. If that doesnt happen, and we have to close again, a lot of places that could have made it, now wont. Despite huge demand to keep the economy open, Health Experts are calling on restrictions to be reinforced. Jeffrey leavy is professor of Health Policy and management at the Milken Institute school of Public Health at George Washington university. Welcome to the w. How worried are you about the surges in infectctions . Very worried. This was predictable, but tragic in its o outcome. These are states s that never fully implemented the full kinds of control measures that were needed to contain the epidemic, and you know, have not employed some of the simplest measures, like mandating that masks be worn in public, and so we could continue in public so we could contain the virus. The states that have been firm th socialdistancing and slowly reopening, and enforcing the use of masks, have seen a much quicker response to the pandemic, and have been n able o maintain contrtrol. These aree states thatat have chosen not to do that, and we are seeing the consequences for it. Just to be clear then, we would d normally expect localizd outbreaks in your dealing with any incurable disease that has become embedded in deciding, but a policy failure means these surges that we are talking about a muchch worse. Is that what youre telliling . T ty are muchch worse, and to some degree, preventable. You open up bars, when you permit much larger gatherings and close, confined spaces, that is a recipe for disease transmission. Evererne a publilic health was morning thihis couldld be a majr problem, especially whehen peope were n not Wearing Masks. We are in this absurd position in the United States Wearing Masks has become a political choice, that somehow you are disrespecting president trurumpf you choose to wear a mask, as opopposed to recognizing this ss very importatant Public Health measasure. How we got there is a l longer story,y, but these a are the trc conseqequences of that palletization politicization of the academic. I was going to ask you how influential the fact the president chooses not to wear a mask is, but you say it is gone beyond that. The actual wearing of a mask is a political statement in some places . It has tragically become that. And you know, the president has joined isesetting up t this conflictct between health and te economy, when in reality, we know that if we dont contain this pandemic, it will have a much worse impact on the economy. Yes, there are various serious shortterm economic pain, but we are seeing in the statess that took strtronger measures, they have been able to gradually open up, and openen up with that fits andtarts will see in states like texas and florida. Is it now too late, or perhaps politically impossible for these heavilyaffected states to try and get back some epidemiologicacal control . Thehere are m much higher ras of infection in those ststates,o control wiwill be more difficul, butt they can still do it. We can still step back. New york state is a a good example, where youou know, there was a tremendous outbreak, and with some strict measures, and with the right approaches, they were really able to scale things back. We arere going to see severalal weeks now, even if everything were shut down nono and texas or florida, we e will see morore ws of i increased burdens on hospspitals, increasising death, increasing illness. But then we have seen as we saw in other states, ovever time, tt willll diminish. I t think i it is p politicallyd for these governors to backtrack, but it is the only thing they will be able e to do, and we saw that with texas beginning to fall back, and we will see other states doing that as welell. Thank you so much foror joing usus, professor professor jeffry leavy from George Washington university. Andy has seen a record increasing covid19 infections for the second consecutive day. Nearly 17,000 new cases have been confirmed bringing the National Total to more than 455,000. The outbreak is feeling concerns in the hardhit daily. Health facilities are overwhelmed and officials are rushing to expand testing for millions of residents. The sharp rise in cases has been crowned at t the capital of india. The governmenent is bebeing heay criticicized for its pr r contat tracacg and a lack of medical facilities. Coronavirus is a huge problem, but we should think of limiting policies and facilities that will reduce peoples suffering and not policies that will create chaos. In the state of delhi alone, infections are expected to surge in the coming weeks. Government estimates show that could be around 550,000 cases by the end of july. In response, the delhi authorities announce house to house coronavirus screenings in the city itself. Going door to door will help the government to detect patients, and it will help to curb the spread of coronavirus. If people who have a High Temperature as they have coronavirus are tested, at least they will have the satisfaction of knowing whether they are positive or not. If they are positive, they will know. If they are n negative, they wt be anxnxious about it. Dedelhis authoritieies are noty facecewith the unprecedenteded chchallenge off stopping ththe d of t the coronavirirus. A shortagege of b beds is also a major ongoing issue. Thee indian capipitals luluxury hotels and stadiumums could be tuturned into field hospitals gd even Spiritual Centers in delhi are expected to convert to covid19 care facilities. Lets look at a couple of other stories around the world. The Health Minister of the democratic republic of congo has announced the end of its ebola epidemic, describing it as the longest most complex and deadliest epidemic in the countrys history. It began in august 2018 and went on to claim 2000 lives. In 300,000 people received experimental vaccines. German Financial Service provider has filed for insolvency after disclosing almost 2 billion euros disappeared from itsts books. The companys former ceo has been arrested. They say clear indications of an elaborate fraud extending around the world. This is dw news. A new report warns the pandemic could wipe out years of progress , inviting poverty in africa. What can be done for these economies for not spiraling deeper into crisis . Shareholders have voted to accept the German Governments 9 billion euro rescue package for the airline. The bailout will make the driven taxpayer the big shell hurled it in the countrys largest carrier with a 20 stake. The father has struggled. The shareholders were not happy about it, but the alternative is bankruptcy for the company and its 100 30,000 employees. The reason was clear. We have run out of money. While living from the reserves we set aside in good years. Without support, bankruptcy is looming. Earlier in the day, the Commission Approved a rescue plan and the shareholders gave their blessing, including their biggest shareholder,. He had been skeptical. The deal clears the way for a 9 billion euro government bailout plan. The state will receive 20 of the shares. Berlin can also increase its stake to avoid a hostile takeover. It is a heavy price to pay. Establish station the stabilization package, we have to work hard to pay it back and it will be an enormous burden to pay the interest and pay back the loan. This is particularly true because no one is expecting a speedy recovery in the aviation market. 80 of the airplanes are still grounded. Experts say it will be at least three years before the crisis is behind the industry. And things will be different. There will be a Smaller Group with 100 fewer aircraft, and a much slimmer structure. They have already close some of its subsidiaries and warns they will have to thousands of jobs. They are renegotiating wages and cabin crew agreed to take a 17 pay cut through the coronavirus crisis. Pilots will have to make similar sacrifices. The pandemic could raise could you raise could erase most of africas progress. That is according to a new study. It says densely populated urban settlement could make the continent susceptible to covid19. The social and physical distancing is difficult, but their main concern is the expected fall in tax revenues and the financial impact. They fear an increase in the number of People Living in extreme poverty, with a gap between the industrialized world and the african continent could widen. The institute for Security Studies is one of the studies authors and he explained why the report highlighted no debt highlighted debt as a particular problem. Debt in a africa has been increasing for several years, and youu know, when you are growing at 8 8 , debt may not ba problem, b w when growthth rates in africa clclined to 2 or 3 3, suddenly, your largeebt burden becomes a huge problem. So we think that covid19, the Global Impact of covid19, c cod mean the debt crcrisis could become the debt problem could become a crisis. So, african governments are borrowing additional money to try to deal with the impact of covid, but the imf recommends africa needs 114 billion u. S. Dollars to deal with it and it is nowhere near getting that. We are concerned about the impact that this could trigger, popossibly a requirerement as te g20 0 has acknowledged for some type of debt forgiveness. Africas first Clinical Trial of a covid19 vaccine has begun. It is being tested by researchers from Oxford University and johannesburgs university and it is one of more than 140 being developed around the world. It takes years of research and development to reach human trial stages, but scientists are under pressurere to come up with something fast. A shot filled with hope. This unemployed young man is taking a risk so that others might in effect. I feel a little bit scared. But i want to know what is going on with this effort so that i can tell my friends what is going on. This is the first covid19 vaccine trial being done on humans on the african continent. The vaccine is initially being tested on a small number of people. Researchers hope it will stimulate their immune systems producuce antibodies agagainst e virus. The eight participants form as group 1. It is a group, small group of 15 individuals. We are trying to understand the issue of the vaccine, especially in terms of the common side effects in the second issue is that immune response against the vaccine. But even if the results are positive, the vaccine would not eradicatate the virus. Just slow w its spread among the populalation. South africa has been particularly badly hit by the pandemic, with more than 100,000 confirmed cases, the highest in all of africa. To make matters worse, the country was already slipping into a recession before the virus hit. Now, or than 30 of people are unemployed. More than 30 of people are unemployed. I getting involved in vaccine trials, south africa wants to get access to an affordable vaccine, and not be left waiting at the back of the queue. We will look at some other developments related to the pandemic. The European Health care regulator has recommended the drug remdesivir has a treatment for covid19. Trials have shown it is be patients recovery. It has surpassed 10,000 with Health Officials recording more than 100 fatalities for the second day. The dutch government is giving 1000 euro bonus to Health Care Workers who helped the country tackle the coronaVirus Outbreak. People under lockdown in germany inhumane. A local Movement Restrictions were reintroduced in the state because of the cluster of infections linked to a slaughterhouse. But now, many of the people in a city say they are suffering. Locked in and desperate. Five days ago, these people were placed under quarantine the stop a core Virus Outbreak that coronaVirus Outbreak that originated at a meatpacking plant. But instead of ordering them to stay indoors, the authorities barricaded them in. I feel like a pig, like a pig in a small hole. We have a family. Officials say the fences meant to give residents a chahae to get fresh air while in isolation, but it also means those infected with the coronavirus are quarantining alongside those who tested negative. The liliving conditions inside e buildings makee Disease Control practicalllly impossible. Somome of the apartrtmenti lived in were vary clean, but there were exceptitions as well. It was a alwayvery crampeded and sometimemes there weree 10 to 14 people i in a single f flat. The the slaughterhouses widely blame for the outbreak that originated in their local plant and let to the areawide lockdown. Authorities demanding take full financial responsibility for the crisis. The company is currently providing food for their workers trapped in the fences. Only a slight relief for a world community. They ask questions, of course, and i would do that, too, if a fence suddenly appear appeared around my house. They ask about the company and many ask, i dont work there, i work somewhere else. Why am i included, too . Concerns grow louder every day. To make the situation more bearable for this neighborhood, local authorities are building recreational areas on adjacent fields, but to the hundreds of people feeling like prisoners inside their own homes, this gesture is of little consolation. Let get more from our correspondent, simon. Our fences and guards stopping people from leaving their homes . Why are these conditions so harsh . Simon we have seen similar cases and some other places. There are residents in another town who have not been able to leave their homes for the past we, but this is pretty drastic with these fences. That is true. I think the reason is this is a key hotspot in northern germany at the moment. 2000 people now with links to that Meat Processing plant have tested positive for coronavirus. The authorities feel it is necessary to require them to stay where they are. They say there is a risk of some of them just disappearing. A lot of these people are foreign nationals, and they might want to leave germany, and that would be a problem because that would make it really difficult to carry out the tests and Trace Program that has begun. And so, the authorities have stepped in and said, we need to do something. A lot of german states are worried about the spread of the disease around germany, but some other areas have imposed quarantine some people arriving from the neighboring communities. Some places are even saying it will be illegal to provide accommodation to o people from there. Austria has imposed a travel warning. All of these reasons i think help to explain why this is being taken so seriously. Phil the company that owns a meatpacking plant at the center of this, what are they saying . Simon a lot of people have been suggesting lately that it might be the ventilation systems in these meet plants that are the cause of spreading coronavirus, but other people have said the problem is with Companies Like this, they have been cutting corners for many years, and forcing their workers to accept substandard living and working conditions. That is helped spread the virus. The owner of the company says while he is sorry for that, he is doing what he can to support people with providing them with food and essentials while they remain under lockdown. The German Government says it is going to end the reliance on cheap labor in the meat industry, and the good news is the number of new infections is now coming down. Phil simon young, thank you so much. Russians have begun a weeklong boat to decide whether to endorse or reject president putins proposed constitutional changes.

Russia a wreck sir a russia expert said while putin wants to push the vote for now. Putin said it himself, if h e did not start the process now by giving himself the possibility to actually get reelected, even once more or two times in 2024, that wouldve started uncecertainty among the elite. The elite would have started to look for a successor, so he argues, i need to create stability in me that is the main background of the kind of of the constitutional report. Should the report pass, putin could remain russias president until he until he is 83.
