Next month. Tired of for at least try to stem growing student protests by threatening to shut down several Media Outlets taking steps to block the messaging app telegram demonstrators are calling for the Prime Minister to resign. And the Champions League group stage gets underway to choose day evening when disney can leaders leipzig host turkish champions bush actually here the german side will be keen to make home advantage count against the club from istanbul. Im told me a lot of well welcome to the program in europe with the 2nd wave of the pandemic has arrived and its prompting National Lockdowns ireland has become the 1st e. U. Country to return to an almost full nationwide lockdown as a battles to stop a surge in. Rhona virus cases Prime MinisterMichael Martin said all nonessential retailers must close for 6 weeks starting on midnight on wednesday starting at midnight on wednesday while the schools will be allowed to stay open but bars and restaurants will only be able to serve takeaways and people have been told to stay within 5 kilometers of their home for all but essential purposes the Prime Minister of heels of the nation to respect the new measures. I understand and i feel very personally and profoundly the sense of disappointment the feelings of loneliness perhaps even this the despair that this announcement will bring for many the days are getting shorter and colder but i ask you to remember remember this even as the winter comes in there is hope and there is light if we pull together over the next 6 weeks we would have the opportunity to celebrate christmas in a meaningful way. For more we are joined now by governor riley he is a Political Correspondent at virgin media news ireland goven good to have you on the program ireland is the 1st you could want to take such drastic measures nationwide for a 2nd time why is it doing this. The main reason is concerned about arlins Health Service that right now there are 34 people with codeine scene in our and its care unit so that may not sound like much but arden is a country that only has around 260 or 270 permanent intensive care beds and as the seedling statistics there are only about 30 more available and likewise if you look at those who are just at hospital with co but 90 and want to go the number was 70 for the seat think its 298. 00 it has quadrupled in the space of the month and really the concern is that if that rate continues much more of the rate that its currently going then within a couple of weeks our system will simply be overwhelmed and that a lot of older procedures one have to be counseled and that we could be looking at something approaching the sort of circumstances that we saw in italy at the start of the spring which prompted so many other countries to go into lockdown arent as concerned now is that unless some drastic action is taken in the next couple of weeks to lower the level of code 1000 transmission in the Broader Society could be heading a similar way again and how is the public reacting to this announcement. Weve yet to really see this announcement is only a few hours old so most people havent really had a chance to digest this there were some opinion polls taken by newspapers across the weekend which suggested that irish public was broadly split on this that of course there were many people who simply were sick of the idea of having to be europes guinea pig were our it would be something of an experiment who just wants to go back to some kind of normality but there are others who accept that this is a very dangerous disease that this is a virus which can spread very very easily and which even if it isnt fatal it produces very Significant Health difficulties for many people who contract it so there are dividing opinions i think the whole market so could bet that the seed me when he really urged the public to try and reading uncle dan with the hope of saving christmas that if we have 6 weeks of properly observed lockdown maybe we can go back to having some kind of social life for december and save the Christmas Period whether that is enough of an incentive to keep everybody onside well have to wait and see but gavin this is likely to be caught in the hot will the country be able to handle the consequences of a strike on lockdown. Well that is something which the government has already had to entertain because this isnt even the 1st time that the National PublicHealth Experts have recommended a 2nd law also recommended this measure 2 weeks ago back then the government said it wouldnt accept it because it would have been too premature that the government was not ready that this suggestion was landed on it without any prior warning d and that it didnt have the basic support place to stay we passed our National Budget and we also have expanded welfare systems we have new employment supports we have new corporate lifelines which basically means the government thinks that it is prepared for this that this will be quite expensive for the r. 6 checker there will be about 150000 people there straight losing their jobs as a result of this the welfare supports alone will cost around a 1000000000 euro over the next 6 weeks thankfully its money that are it is able to borrow on the Global Markets that are economically went into this pandemic in a pretty good shape so it does have scope to be able to deal with that but obviously it is a very very significant gesture and something which is going to take you aside from its sightly a long time to work up ok well have to leave it there fanaa gavin reilly Political Correspondent at virgin media news island in dublin many thanks.

Lets bring in new financial correspondent against quater in new york no high end is it chills of Wishful Thinking to assume that a deal can still cross the line here. It seems very unlikely that we will get a deal done before the election im not quite certain how realistic it was to even believe in the 1st place that democrats and republicans would find some Common Ground i mean both sides us rolling around some numbers but its not the sheer amount of the 8 pickets but its what you spend the money for democrats for instance youve already mentioned a couple of points but theyre also looking for aid for state and local governments and thats for example what republicans some still refuse so it is getting less and less likely and it also seems to affect wall street here on monday blue chips for example down by a good 400 percent being the worst day in about 2 months yes run us through whats at stake if no deal is done. Well i mean ive been reporting in front of this local Movie Theater on in a couple of times during the pandemic starting in march when this movie plays close down and they put the sign up so you on the other side meaning the other side of the pen demick and i thought back then maybe it might take 2 or 3 months before they could reopen well obviously its taking much longer you have the Entertainment Industry you have parts of retail you have restaurants you have bars you have allies you have so many parts of the economy there are still not back online maybe during the winter months so we could see a wave of fiction because people cant afford to pay their rents anymore i know people who are still out of work i also know people who only make about 40 percent of what they did before the pandemic so yes in so many areas hate would be needed and so there is still some hope that after the elections are done and over is that maybe then we would get a bigger package but that will clearly also depend not just on who wins the president ial election but also how majorities in congress meaning in the house of representatives and the senate might switch no guarantee even of a hollywood style happy ending and cut to thank you so much. Now while most of the world continues to struggle with the economic fallout of the coronavirus chinas latest hoarsely figures appear to show that the country is on the rebound government fingers indicate Economic Growth in the 3rd quarter was up 4. 9 percent compared to the same period last year Global Demand for mosques and other medical supplies boosted factory a push and retail spending is now back to pre virus levels. Meanwhile though here in europe the focus is on how much the pandemic is costing with countries taking on huge debt to deal with the full age of locked. In 29900 countries that use the Euro Currency had a fiscal deficit of almost 77000000000 euros the latest draft budget plans from the European Commission suggest that figure will rise to 976000000000 euros this year well over 10 times higher the debt explosion has been made possible after rules designed to rein in spending were loosened to deal with the Economic Impact of the coronavirus. Saying on this topic during the pandemic many people have find themselves with more time on their hands thats prompted some to take a poll so not to like baking bread in chile some laid off workers have taken their hobby to the next level turning their new skills into look at this. Petro compas started making homemade bread after riots against social inequality in santiago de chile last year shuttered the restaurant where he worked then the pandemic meant he couldnt find a new job now he gets the lever go back to work for someone else. Who is the reason you know i was laid off from the world came over me but i had the support of my family who helped me they gave me my oven and we launched now we have 2 options and production has increased by more than 40 percent the idea is to continue with this in the future and to have a bakery and our own company this is the dream we want. The size of the Informal Sector which includes everything from selling masks on the streets to ad hoc construction work is hard to measure. The chilean government which is usually eager to clamp down on that sector now embraces that it lost to your company in a day campaign to legalize and cut red tape for entrepreneurs like petrol companies and his family. In august alone more than 16500. 00 Small Businesses like yours were created thats up 20 percent on a year earlier despite the groan of ours crisis. Small local businesses like ted rose are flourishing on social media and shot groups delivering everything from food and beverages to jewelry and they keep the fresh bread coming to their neighbors.
