All else where almost 5000000 people across latin america have been infected with the corona virus at least 200000 have died mexico has reported a Record Number of infections for a 2nd day in a row its the 3rd worst affected country in the world it registered more than 9000 cases and nearly 800 deaths on saturday Mexican Government says the real number of infected people is likely to be much higher and want than the reports actually suggest so many rough lows in mexico city and joins us now i mean for a country like mexico to have the highest death toll in the world this must be devastating for the country is there a fear that its not it could get a lot worse. There is definitely a fear that things are only getting worse as as you mentioned in a single day mexico posted its new daily high for number of contagions with more than with more than 1500 new cases let me run you through the latest numbers according to Johns Hopkins university here in mexico 4003 of 434193 confirmed cases 47472 confirmed deaths so mexico certainly has become a hot spot in the world overtaking britain for the number of of confirmed deaths worldwide and theres a lot of criticism over the leadership here in mexico many criticize the countrys president for taking a relaxed approach when it comes to contagion for often giving contradictory statements to what Health Officials here say mexicos president has been consistently saying for more than a month now that the worst of the pandemic is over that the worst of the Economic Impact is over a completely different picture than the one painted by the sticks that we hear every day from Health Officials here in mexico now the country itself has started a gradual reopening as far back as may here in mexico city july 1st to mark the 1st day of the quote unquote new normal for the city this meant people could once again go out and participate in public functions a lot of nonessential activities have resumed in the country and there is its not uncommon to see people not wearing a face mask sort of mirroring that the same relaxed and lackadaisical attitude from from the country from the countrys president so theres a sense that we here as you reported in earlier segments mariyam about certain regions and other countries in the world that may be returning to a lockdown public Health Officials here in mexico say that a return to a lockdown or an increase of restrictions to curb contagion is almost inevitable. I mean they want Health Organization spoken as well about that being response because of the social and economic pressure from the lock down how to the measures taken in mexico compact with the rest of the region. As you mentioned mexico is now in 3rd place worldwide when it comes to the to the death toll just behind brazil and just behind the United States and as as latin america as a whole approaches 20200000 deaths theres one thing that i think a perspective that helps put this into context latin america is home to about 8 percent of the worlds population yet accounts for 30 percent of the deaths worldwide so it is it is staggering and when you when you hear the sort of forecasts and warnings the disheartening warnings that were hearing from world Health Officials in terms of the Economic Impact for example the u. N. Expects a in terms of g. D. P. Latin america as a region could be set back by 10 years the World Food Program is estimating upwards of 14000000 people in latin america will suffer from severe Food Insecurity thats quadruple the number of people on that list compared to the same Time Next Year there are certain countries that are hotspots where the where there are a lot of contagion we know brazil we know mexico but there are other countries that not only coded that are only suffering from the kobe pandemic but are suffering from drought and political instability economic instability and the big takeaway now and still is that the virus the pandemic shows no signs of slowing in the latin american region thanks very much for mexico. Meanwhile here in the u. K.

Hopes that the worst of the covert 19 crisis may be behind the u. K. This autumn appear to be fading infection rates are rising for the 1st time since may not to the heights of a pandemic in april but nevertheless going up and the government has warned it may have to go further than the localised restrictions in place to control local spikes where they happen there are reports that the Prime MinisterBoris Johnson has commissioned a plan for a london wide lockdown including restrictions on movement in and out of the m 25 ring road asking people over the age of 50 who may hope vulnerable conditions to the virus to shelter at home and with schools due to return in just a few weeks time in september scientists are warning that any further reopening of the economy may mean other parts of the economy have got to shut again to maintain balance and the finger is being pointed at the Hospitality Industry will take a look at where i am now in soho in the heart of london and normally vibrant buzzing Entertainment District full of londoners locals tourists the bars restaurants and pubs that have been allowed to reopen the doors have the tables and chairs spilling out across the pavement and on to the road desperate for customers but there are no tourists around a lot of londoners are venturing out all that much and the reports suggest that the price of getting children back into the classrooms may well be that some of these businesses have to shut their doors again and Business Owners are warning they have survived one lock down many will not survive a 2nd.

A increase in corona virus infections in nearly a month describing the situation as concerning in most of its provinces the Health Ministry announced more than 2 and a half 1000 new cases on sunday with total infections exceeding 300000 the central city of where irans outbreak started is experiencing a resurgence more than 16 and a half 1000 people have died from cove and 19 in iran and then in the capital of the philippines manila the authorities there are set to reintroduce strict coronavirus lockdown measures from midnight on chews day a record single day rising corona virus infections was confirmed on sunday adding another 5000. 00 cases this takes the total pasta 100000 with manila accounting for most of those infections the philippines has the 2nd highest number of cases in the region behind indonesia and then the australian state of victoria has declared a state of disaster there is the number of covert 1000 cases is on the rise as they confirm 671 new infections on sunday a nighttime curfew is being introduced in the state capital and melbourne residents misstate within 5 kilometers of the home victoria accounts for most of australias new infections new measures a few to remain in place until the middle of september dr sanjay said on the as a physician an associate professor of medicine Infectious Diseases at Australian National university in canberra he said that complacency and fatigue have fed the pandemic in victoria. We certainly havent seen a drop in that data case numbers now you could also argue that with a place like blue which had a really extensive lockdown it took 4 weeks to really see a drop in cases its only been about 3 weeks here in victoria on stage 3 restrictions and probably just under 2 weeks with mandatory squarely in melbourne but there have been a large rise in that a number of cases and i think there were concerns that things were coming under control so they had to do something more extensive throughout the world weve seen that complacency and i think that key has become an issue with kobe theres that outbreak is dragged on and on australia has been no exception i guess a poignant example will be that a few days ago authorities knocked on the doors of people who had been diagnosed with heart of their not query probably being diagnosed covert and they were meant to be so if isolating and about a quarter of those doors that were knocked on did not have those people there so despite having coped with they were not at their house and that is of great concern now hundreds of people have marched to the gates of San Quentin State Prison north of San Francisco to demand the mass release of inmates as coronavirus deaths at a facility grow protest to say inmates are at greater risk of contracting the virus the Facility Needs adequate testing to avoid the disease is spread among its 3600 inmates as of wednesday 19 people had died from the virus demonstrators say the deaths were preventable lets go straight to casey casey b s radios kathy novak is at the prison where the protest is taking place just tell us about turnout there and what people have been saying to you. Well my own there ive got a few 100 people here are a lot of loved ones who have people incarcerated at san quentin and are worried about their well being as you say there are about 353600 people in our sara aided in san quentin and that over the course of this outbreak and 2000 people have tested positive for progress at 19 this prison is the oldest in california and advocates family members and even the president officials concede that it is just impossible to practice social distancing in this sort of setting. Its overcapacity doors are just bar and so its possible for a virus to spread through the eriks so evidently family members are extremely worried about the people that they love who are incarcerated behind these walls and they come out to protest and call for more releases the scrape says it has expedited a number of releases the governor says that more than 8000 more prisoners will be released as part of this action and that across the state of california for the 1st time in 3 decades because the population is less than 100000 but medical experts say that is still not enough to have the situation under control in a prison like san quentin there saying the prison population should actually be cut in half so the outbreak here is still very real a number of people its really concerned about the people who are infected inside thank you very much from San Quentin State Prison in france and San Francisco kathy novak of reporting to us that on a protest.
