Is another lockdown on the way . Experts warn coronavirus is spreading significa ntly faster through england than the worst case scenario. A powerful earthquake hits turkey and greece more than 20 are confirmed dead as rescuers search the rubble for survivors. Welcome to our viewers on pbs in america and around the globe. Were heading into the final weekend of campaigning in the us president ial election. Both candidates have been in the midwest to convince voters theyre the man to run the country. Lets take a quick look at the latest opinion polls which putjoe biden nine points ahead of donald trump. But thats based on National Polling which wont determine who wins its the voters in key swing states who will decide the result. The coronavirus pandemic is at the forefront of this election. And the number of cases in the us has now passed 9 million. Both candidates have been criticising each other over their strategies for dealing with it. Joe biden is promising a long, dark, painful winter. Did anybody see the debate, by any chance . He said a long, dark winter. Thats great, thats wonderful. It is just what our country needs, long dark winter and a country who talks about it. Meanwhile, joe biden accused President Trump of giving up on controlling the pandemic. tx sot when he was told that be four weeks ago that we are losing 1,000 lives a day he said, it is what it is. Isnt that useful . It is what it is. Well it is what it is because he is who he is. That is the problem. Donald trump waved the white flag and surrendered to the virus but the American People dont give yalda hakim was at a Joe Biden Campaign event at milwaukee airport for us, with the latest on how people have voted. It is now four days until the election and actually, a record 85 million americans elevated across the country. The biden camp is slightly worried. Theyve issued some alarm bells and are saying that they are concerned about some of the voter turnout from the African American community and the Latino Community in certain parts of the country. Here in wisconsin been about 1. 5 Million People who have already voted. Either by mailing or early voting. So it really depends which part of the state that you are in terms of who is voting and who is not that bedside are trying to bleed into the traditional voters of the other side so, for example, republicans are trying to beat into the traditionally African American democratic voters and that is a strategy that both sides are currently using in these crucial swing states. Twenty one us states are currently in the grip of a coronavirus outbreak, with some of the most severe in the states that will be key in deciding the 2020 election. Lets speak to dr peter hotez, professor and co director of the center for Vaccine Development at texas Childrens Hospital and dean of the National School of tropical medicine at Baylor College of medicine. It is very troubling. We hit over 90,000 new cases in a single day. That is our record and there has been this apocalyptic prediction coming from some saying hundred thousand new cases per day and it looks like we will hit that as soon as next week. There are a few things happening. The weather is getting colder, people are moving indoors and therefore getting exposed to one another as they are staying in smaller groups. Also the virus seems to do better in cold weather and i think people are probably receiving higher amounts of the virus, there is more virus around and that may influence mortality. There are some papers that came out over the summer from europe that suggested that as a possibility so i think those are two of the important reasons. The other big one is dead continues to be this defiance of masks. People tying their political allegiance to not Wearing Masks and refusing to social distance. And this has been really devastating for the nation, especially in the middle part of the country. A lot of that unfortunately is coming from the white house that all throughout, since the summer has been downplaying the importance of the pandemic, dismissing its role in causing death, trying to claim it is down to the virus itself, so this has created the sculpture where many believe the virus is a hoax and it is quite extraordinary and it is really a coordinated and high science Disinformation Campaign coming out of the white house. If nothing changes looking into the winter and looking ahead what kind of numbers do you think america could see . Well, we have some forecast now coming from our institute of Health Metrics and evaluation at the university of washington in seattle. They are pretty dreary numbers. Looking at 511,000 american deaths by february 28 of next year so that is more than the doubling of the current number. Given how everyone is so exhausted already from the epidemic, that is really sobering news on the tragedy, of course, is we can do something about this. I put together ever last summer a plan to contain this virus, to prevent this terrible surge or delay it and even now if we could get 95 compliance with masks we could save hundred and 29,000 american lives but we just dont have that leadership. In washington, dc and in the white house and as we heard in the report, the president wants to continue to downplay it. Government sources say englands at a crunch point as coronavirus cases continue to rise. Scientists say around four times more people are catching the virus than anticipated. Its understood discussions are ongoing about whether additional restrictions are now needed. Our health editor, hugh pym reports. Testing of more than 150,000 people with and without symptoms gives the office for National Statistics a feel for how widespread the virus is in local communities and the data from the most recent survey suggests it is still increasing. The uks National Statistician gave me his assessment of where things now stand with covid 19. Theyve got to be fairly gloomy and i do believe that we are continuing to increase, i think we need to absolutely be tireless, everybody across the country, following the rules. Because if not, then i fear that the virus is going to exponentially increase. The estimates of how many people in the community had the virus in the period leading up to october 23. The most relative to the local population were in Northern Ireland, the least in scotland. But there were big variations within england with many more in the north west relative to the population but in the south east of england. The ons did say that in the north east of england there was evidence of a slowdown and slight reduction in case numbers and a bigger gap with the north west and yorkshire and humber regions. But Officials Say overall things are going in the wrong direction and minutes of meetings of the governments sage Advisory Committee renew a pessimistic move. A paper says that in england the number of daily deaths is now in line with the levels in a reasonable worst case and is almost certain to exceed this within the next two weeks. That worst Case Scenarios 85,000 covid deaths over the winter. Officials say government interventions can reduce that. Policy makers around the uk are under increasing pressure to come up with plans to allow families to meet up at christmas and the first minister in wales had a message for downing street. We need to share that information, we need to share ideas and wherever we can, particularly, would like to see is common in approach as we can together while recognising that the state of the virus and the response does depend on one part of the uk from another. In parts of scotland Face Coverings will be required for teachers and older pupils in classrooms from monday. Described by ministers strengthened guidant produced in the light of updated advice.

On the streets, there was fear and panic. I saw people crying, trying to reach out to their loved ones. Everyone was shocked and it was a very chaotic moment. About 20 buildings were brought down. The quake was felt as far away as istanbul and athens. Turkey is crisscrossed by active fault lines. The danger always lying beneath. Rescuers picked their way carefully through the rubble, here finding a survivor in gently cradling his head. The man was brought out alive, like dozens of others. And for some, emotional reunions. Social distancing swept away by the chaos in the relief. It bore the brunt of this earthquake but two teenagers died in the greek islands and in the mists of loss there has been a rare display of solidarity between two nations that are deeply divided.

In our culture, as a navajo, as a native american, its something were not even supposed to do, to deal with death. But dealing with death is michael begays calling, in the worst corner of the worst country for covid 19. With covid patients, we normally dont embalm. We usually just keep them in the body bag.

Living in the largest of the native american territories, the navajo have suffered more coronavirus deaths per head of population than any of the 50 states of the union many hundreds of people.

By midweek next week, our weather will finally have turned drier and calmer, but for the weekend, it is far from it. And for saturday, storm aiden as named by the Irish Weather Service for impacts there, but even across the uk will be very windy and, at times, very wet. Heres that area of low pressure passing to the north west of scotland. Another will come along on sunday, as it stays windy and there will be more rain. Now, saturday begins already with some outbreaks of heavy rain towards the west in particular and, for a time, clearing north across scotland, but then further heavy, even torrential bursts of rain sweep east across the uk with very gusty, squally winds, although for many of us, that will clear to some sunshine. It is in the west where well see the strongest gusts of wind 50, 60 miles an hour but closer to 70 on exposed coasts and hills. But even elsewhere, as this torrential rain moves on through, could well see some gusts of 50 60 mph. Its going to be a mild start to the weekend. Many of us see the rain clear to sunshine, but there will be further rain or Northern Ireland into western scotland in the afternoon. And still very strong winds. Parts of western scotland could for a time gust in excess of 70 mph. The winds ease a touch overnight and into sunday morning, as more rain comes on through from the west. Now, sunday will be a very windy day. This area of low pressure contains the remnants of what was once hurricane zeta. So, yes, closer to that, well see the strongest winds, but all parts will have another windy day. And after some early rain clears through, some will brighten up in scotland and Northern Ireland. Further outbreaks of rain in england and wales. Some of that mayjust push for the north as we go on through the day. Those winds still very gusty, particularly in northwest scotland. The chance of seeing some gusts above 70 mph for a time, and sunday is still looking mild. Now, it does turn colder next week, but thats part and parcel of a significant change in the weather. Still some rain or showers around to start the week, still quite windy. But from midweek, its drier, its calmer, yes, its colder, and there could be frost and fog overnight. But for the weekend, a focus on very wet and windy weather.
