Talking about Foreign Affairs is so good about Foreign Affairs and i think that the. Very biased version her parents are very biased. From comments perhaps setting the tone for his final sparring match with his challenger. Oh right all eyes on tennessee this evening i lets go to our washing corresponds all over south who will be following that debate for you now at the candidates biden and trump facing off squaring off for the last time on the same stage before the elections what can we expect. Its certainly going to be the last big clash of the 2 and as you know President Trump is trailing behind in polls some see him behind and more than 2 digits to an extent where even allies are distancing themselves from them fearing that theyre going to be dragged down by President Trump and of course he knows something has to happen this might be his last chance he received it he got a big hit by the 1st debate so we can expect him tonight to go into attack mode he will probably target joe biden son hunter biden president tom has been working on creating such a Corruption Case here against him without evidence of course we will very likely hear that tonight as an attempt to attack joe biden were not going to see a performance like the one in the 1st debate as you remember that was dubbed the worst president ial debate in history because a President Trump interrupted consequently and did not let his opponent joe biden finish his sentences no there are new rules in place for tonight and that means that the 1st 2 minutes every candidate will be able to speak and the microphones of the other the other candidate will be muted during that time so it will be a very different kind of debate were going to hear and see tonight the president as weve just heard also is very clear he believes all of that is unfair he doesnt like the questions he doesnt like the moderator that also being his kind of rhetoric that he sees himself as an underdog him against the establishment and thats also something were going to witness tonight in the president ial debate now is speaking of the election on a related note there are some concerning reports of foreign interference in this years election what more can you tell us about that. Right the director of the National Intelligence d. N. I. Rascal live yesterday reported that iran allegedly sent out emails to voters and that were coming flash coming from far right militia groups such as the probable reason we remember President Trump neglected several times to distance himself from those groups and in those mails. Voters were threatened so we do not know a lot a whole lot more on those a lot of an answer questions questions also with regards to what was actually being tried to achieve there the d. N. I. Is making the case that these males were sent out to damage donald trump and his campaign it could also be vice versa since these mail were threatening democratic voters now the authorities also say theres not a lot they can do about it except going public which is what theyre doing and warning voters that they should not feel threatened about this this is just a sham and yet another attempt to mingle in the u. S. Elections all over south reporting from washington for you thank you. And next to europe is facing its worst situation since the start of the covert 910. 00 demick infections are hitting record daily highs in many countries including germany and i have a graph that i would like to show you that illustrates the situation in europe this is europes curve you can see that the infections Rose Steadily in sharply in the spring taking in april as you can see here hitting the 40000 mark new cases reported every day but remember testing at that time was why wasnt was thats what spread rather its widespread now but back then it wasnt so the true numbers may have actually been a whole lot higher by mid may things stabilized most of europe was in lockdown and you can see the effect a nice steady light but that of course locked on it was lifted and since mid july it has been going up steadily cases rocketing up. Its which brings us to where we are now look at that stark number 174000 new cases were ported across the continent and here in germany the numbers have now exceeded 11000 for the 1st time and germanys Public Health body says the country could face an untrue spread of infections. 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 by around 100000 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 to buy a car 1. 5 mi 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 settings such as the 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 orating 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 london in bavaria where even schools have closed down again to curb the spread. Well National Leaders across europe are faced with tough decisions over how to deal with rising numbers of covert 19 in denmark theyve taken their own approach a sense of Community Spirit has been sent to help weather the crisis they even have a word for it and believe it could help populations facing new lockdowns possible Economic Hardship and the yearning for a sense of normality. In the u. S. Is with me here on the set dont keep us in suspense what is this magic word well firstly i spoke to one of our editor producers whos in the house whos danish thomas mtr and he told me its some fun since so hopefully we got that right and that i mean Society Spirit so its essentially really like a mindset and in fact before the pandemic it wasnt really a word that was used to alston actually in denmark but it is a concept thats very much part of well say the danish tradition which is this idea of coming together and thinking oh most like a collective in the sense that my actions will have some impact on say yours or everybody hears action so what was quite interesting as well was the Prime Minister met the fredericks and said that normally this means us coming together but actually with the pun demick its all about us not coming together and actually staying apart for the greater good i think its a great concept i mean its basically civic duty right im responsible for my fellow citizen and human being so what would we classify as being im just reading out some foreign since some fun since i got there so thomas told me theres no print you dont print stuff at the end. But yet essential what it is is there are loads of examples one is at tivoli gardens which is like a theme park in copenhagen what happened was during the pandemic it will double to a kindergarten for obviously for children and then also there is a very well known michelin star chef monk who just a few days before and will say the pandemic and old. Back in the spring began cooking large sort of meals for Homeless People and those who were a neat but also what we did was we spoke to a professor and he gave a sort of a a greater idea and a sort of a different take on what this all means lets hear from math from him now the concept is both. Generates motivates them and its generates acceptance so it generates your own motivation to keep its and also it creates an understanding for why it is that the restrictions are needed and therefore you are expected. So the Political Science is there michael bipartisan explaining to so its all about this sort of concept that you know you have to accept responsibility think as a collective some examples of what wouldnt be some fun sin im sure plenty office have seen them over the past few months one would be for example at protests where people arent wearing any masks or people who arent Wearing Masks for example on public transport where theyre supposed to be or are just engaging in behavior we saw in the report theyre coming together in large groups when they know theyre not supposed to because at the end of the day theyre putting themselves at risk everyone else whos there and subsequently everybody else in society and i was actually telling you before we came on air at a very interesting article which was talking about how one person who didnt actually follow the quarantine rules in our lives ended up infecting 56 people either directly or indirectly and like the starker of course the contras that sense of community really a wonderful a wonderful concept there what could political leaders across europe across the world learn from denmark well this is interesting because essentially this is very much part of danish culture and society its something that people are taught not essentially directly using this word but sort of indirectly through education and just the way their Society Works so its very difficult as well to kind of just implement that include trees where they dont have a tradition of that another aspect of it is to remember that scandinavian countries tend to have a great trust in their leaders and in their political system which isnt the case in many countries so for example if a leader is coming out like men to fredericks and you may like her you may not but people will listen to what she has to say maybe in other countries where there isnt that level of trust they dont really trust their leaders and being harassed by an issue of seeing had that has had a very negative impact on spain theres a great political divide and people are very divided over it and they just it almost breeds a sense of almost individual ism about how to cope with this situation all right thank you so much public fully alias what is the magic word so. Excellent sounds good to me thank you so much greatly that are with their ring you up to speed now with some of the other developments in the Global Pandemic ireland has sadly become the 1st european country to order a 2nd lockdown for the next 6 weeks nonessential businesses will close and bars and restaurants will be limited to take away service swedens government says it will take rules for night clubs its forcing them to limit the number of party goers to 50 amid a rise in cases in recent weeks and the European Union wants the World Health Organization to become more transparent about how states report emerging Health Crises thats according to a draft proposal on reform in w.
