A tight race between the 2 men putting it out to be president. So theres been another record daily rise in the number of corona virus cases around the world 230000 people have been infected more than a quarter of those are in the United States state of florida is be particularly badly hit it lifted restrictions in may its just reopened disneyland but its also shattered the National Record with over 15000. 00 infections and thats a part of the previous record set by new york medical haters in maryland and she explains the reason for the surge in florida and in other states but it comes to current a virus in the United States a case of where you live and what your governor i decided to do remember this was the issue where the u. S. President said this is up to the states they need. To figure out their testing they need to figure out their hospitals so here in maryland with a republican governor took it very seriously shut it down didnt reopen quickly the hospitals have plenty of capacity the positive test results for the credit iris here are less than 5 percent now lets put that to florida where the governor keeps saying these cases are going up because they have more tests that is not true just to give you a sense they did 25000. 00 tests a day in florida a month ago their Positivity Rate thats the number of cases coming back positive compared to the overall tests was about 5 percent now theyre doing 50000. 00 tests a day in their Positivity Rate is almost 20 percent so thats not because theyre doing more testing its because more people are getting sick important remember florida doesnt have a rule where says you have to wear your mask some cities do but the state has not taken that step and they havent really shut down again even though we saw the governor to you know 2 weeks after he opened in may say journals were wrong its not the end of the world look everythings fine but he hasnt taken any steps to change the course of this disease so lets think about it if theres 15000 today we know the way this virus operates imagine how many people those 15000 positive cases have infected over the last week to blow it didnt their symptoms were showing up but they were still able to spread the virus so the hospitals are on the verge of reaching capacity the 15000 number shows no sign of going down likely Scientists Say its just going to continue to increase exponentially in my skin as the 4th highest number of deaths from 98 in the world david take its really more than 35000 people have died its recorded more than 300000 infections but the government says the true number is likely to be significantly higher. And south africa is re imposing some restrictions as cases there spike a curfew is back in place overnight and alcohol sales are banned the country has the highest number of infections on the continent the president s who are opposed says scientists are forecasting as many as 50000 deaths by the end of the year in a televised address he explained why the government is bringing back the lockdown measures weve now decided that the sale the dispensing and the distribution of alcohol will be suspended with immediate effect there is now clear evidence that the resumption of alcohol sales has resulted in substantial pressure being put on hospitals including trauma and i. C. U. Units therefore as an additional measure to reduce the pressure on hospitals a care few will be put in place between the hours of 9 pm and 4 am well lets hear now from from a to mina who has more from johannesburg. Also africa had quite a Strict Lockdown in place as the 1st infections were recorded back in march and april some of those restrictions have been eased but the president also said that South Africans arent at hearing to the regulations that are meant to try and stop the spread of covert 19 he says people arent wearing mosque there so massive social gatherings especially on weekends massive funerals where people are likely to catch coronavirus because theyre not adhering to any of the Health Regulations in place so that was very much the gist of that address but also given the surge in numbers in recent weeks you also mentioned how. A quarter of the infections are quarter of the deaths recorded and then i was sitting at just over 4000 where in the last week alone and now south africa is seeing an average of 12000 new infections every day and every day were seeing a new record in the number of infections and just how concerned the government is at this point and this is whats led to the government reversing or backpedaling to some extent around some of the easing of restrictions. Now the Nigerian Government has to review it agreement with several countries including the United Kingdom over whats being described as an acceptable treatment during the pandemic the foreign minister geoffrey only him says the u. K. With landing rights for a nigerian carrier as it was trying to evacuate citizens had carried out one successful flight from the u. K. To nigeria and its scheduled another 2. Hundreds of nigerians were affected by the move. Libyas National Oil Corporation is accusing the United Arab Emirates of pushing wardley for have to reimpose a blockade of its facilities on friday after us forces had allowed a tanker carrying crude to set sell for the 1st time in 6 months but they now say the seas will stay until the demands of a distribution of profits from exports are met the u.

While this blockade protracted and considering the protraction of this situation so to speak russia is actually the state that will be gathering the most influence and has drawn in the us now there is increasing this true tonight in the situation and he has put it put it in quite a precarious situation because diplomatically speaking the u. S. Cannot do much unless it decides to counter russia either through very very concerted efforts soft power once or that means speaking to turkey and speaking to the u. A. E. To stop doing what theyre doing or to counter russia militarily because russia is involved in the military so it has these 2 options and i dont see it taking any of the 2 and that means that libya is headed to a certain extent in some form some way shape or form to either a yemen or a syria like scenario unfortunately well its of elements come as images on social media appear to show forces loyal to have to mobilizing towards the city of sirte the u.
