Im rebecca ridges welcome to the program germanys Public Health body says the country could face an uncontrolled spread of corona virus infections robert cock institute has recorded a new high fidelity cases and ones that covert 9 tain death rates are set to rise of dorothys have issued new travel warnings and are urging people to stick to the rules in an attempt to curb the spread of the virus stricter measures could be yet to come. Its the highest number of new covert 1000 infections the german Public Health institute has had to report during this pandemic more than 11000 new cases in one day these maps show in red where theyve been more than 50 new infections paragraph 1000 inhabitants over a 7 day period left is a map of germany 2 months ago now to the right its clear half of germany has changed color. And solution is to talk to one. Situation is now very serious the number of infections is rising quickly in many places and we dont know where that number is headed but we can still slow the spread everyone can play their part were not powerless if we follow all of those rules you dont tudor. 1. 5 me to distance hand washing and compulsory masks in Public Places such as while out shopping those rules seem to work for germany the majority of people dont catch the virus that work or on public transport but in private setting such as a private parties or weddings. The virus spreads where people enjoy coming together and where they want to get to know each other there is more intense interaction in those settings you discuss things you laugh youre having a good time then the virus naturally has a much better chance of spreading if theres an infected person present players with infection rates accel rating fast some labs in germany like this one in ryan and platon it a warning that smaller facilities are already working at full capacity and wouldnt necessarily be able to cope with rising numbers. Theres also increasing concern that more areas in germany will have to implement restrictions again like kiran back to land in bavaria where even schools have closed down again to curb the spread. So thats the picture in germany now lets look at whats happening in the European Countries earlier i spoke to a levy a courthouse in walsall or she said that the situation in polands hospitals is looking increasingly dire yes indeed the Health Care System in poland is about to reach its limits yesterday for the 1st time poland had more than 10000 you called it 900 infections within a day or on my dolls and people are hospitalized this is a record high in poland according to the Health Ministry we still have a wrong 6000 free baths in the country however theres rising reports of hospitals having problems earlier this week a covered 900 patient and Health Care Worker himself died after he was able to find a freak but. The Prime Minister motto is more of us announced the problem theres going to be a red zone for the whole country from saturday own meaning that theres going to be stricter restrictions and all of poland. From will seoul to london went to hell some pill bottles up to date with whats happening in britain back in just to give you some context the law many news outlets in the u. K. Yesterday we had u. K. Is now required at the hub i have days to go cases to date has to be points out that a lot more testing is happening here but of course that is concerned compared to the way the spring but that is concerning many many people now as you say there is a regional approach to go wales for example thats just imposed to what its calling. Essentially a national law down to trying to spread all the coronavirus youve got different measures in ireland and scotland but whats causing a real rebel here in the u. K. Is the difference between measures here in london for example to the measures several cities up north they are considerably tighter in the north of england is due to the disproportionate spread of the virus that the number of cases are and how youre seeing now play out is browns not only in parliament you had one opposition m. P. Yesterday calling someone from the ruling party. Names in the house the pond and i was up north last week people that very angry are in the know how this is playing out feeling that london is imposing measures on them that in the north they say that they feel like they are being punished older while trust in Boris Johnsons government schooling as cases here are writing. And lastly to athens now grace is one of the few countries where the situation is slightly better than elsewhere on the continent despite rising infection numbers i asked and he cant solve in athens why thats the case the governments here took a very aggressive start from the stance from the start of the pandemic here and its effectively imposed a very strict sweeping draconian lockdown that just brought the at the country to a standstill and we had no other choice because greece had just come out of a 10 year financial recession that had left the Health System here shattered so the government knew that it just could not face this this Health Crisis and use this 2 month lockdown to basically support the system to get the doctors it to get more i. C. U. Units in to get masks and suit to shield groups but what has happened though and thats how it managed to quash its code from the 1st time around but now were seeing a roaring comeback of the coronavirus since august weve seen it up by 7 fold in the last 3 months and that is creating a crisis yet the Prime Minister tonight is holding a nationwide address to inform greeks potentially of new. And speaking to us from athens now lets take a look at some of the other developments in the Global Pandemic island has gone into a 6 week lockdown its the 1st european country to order a 2nd lockdown nonessential businesses will close with bars and Restaurants Limited to take away service in indonesia is reporting nearly 400000 new cases the country has the highest number of infections and coded 19 deaths in Southeast Asia and astra zeneca an Oxford University say they have vaccine trial will continue despite the death of a volunteer in brazil regulators say there are no concerns about the safety of the brazilian trial.

A russian soyuz spacecraft carrying a u. S. Astronaut and 2 russian cosmonauts back from the International Space station has touched down safely in kazakhstan nasa astronaut Chris Cassidy spent a total of 378. 00 days in space but mission marks the last federal russian flight carrying a u.

President ial election intelligence officials believe that iran and russia have interfered in the upcoming vote they accuse iran of being behind recent intimidating emails targeting American Voters in multiple states they also allege that tehran and moscow obtained Voter Registration details with the goal of altering the vote democratic voters in at least 4 battleground states received emails that threatened we will come off t. V. If the recipients didnt vote for president donald trump. Data series some of that is in washington she gave us more details about the f. B. I. s accusations groups from iran and russia got their hands on Voter Registration data they use that information the arraigning groups did to send these threatening emails as you mentioned and as you said in those emails that said vote for President Trump or else now these emails were actually signed by the group the proud boys this is the White Supremacist Group some of our viewers might remember that the president refused to denounce in the 1st televised debate and this is a group that does support the president but that was a false flag there is a lot of information we dont know at this point ill tell you what that is thats crucial we dont know which groups were behind this we dont know if the Voter Registration databases themselves were accessed because that would also be a really key here and we dont know what the intent was the f. B. I.

Struggle to make the changes the protesters demand to the local Police Department and how police against them many apple is still. Dealing with the fallout and the controversy and the trauma so rounding george being killed by the Minneapolis Police department there is definitely a breakdown in terms of trust between our elected officials and their constituents as well as between their constituents and our Law EnforcementCommunity Volunteers from being prepared to patrol the neighborhood and the 9th ward of minneapolis where george floyd done christian and local and growing in number.
