The number of positive cases across aleppo and idlib were said to have risen tenfold last month, putting a strain on the already fragile Health System. The bbcs Darren Conway was granted rare access inside idlib and sent this report the road to idlib has been a journey of misery for so many. This is one of the last remaining parts of syria that hasnt been retaken by the regime. Millions of civilians have funnelled into this Little Corner of north west syria in an attempt to escape the fighting. But the people that live here are about to face yet another battle covid 19. Dr ghandoor is head of the two largest hospitals in idlib. Hes one of only 600 doctors for a population ofjust over 4 Million People. Very few covid tests are being done. While we were here, an average of 400 were carried out a day. Up to 40 of those tested positive. Aeroplanes, rockets, corona, angry, poor, security, its the same. All of them, all of these terms mean for us death. Life is already tough enough here. Its a daily fight for survival. A free food hand out quickly turns into a mob. But there are no masks to be seen. At times like this, prayer is about the only support the people here can rely on. But at this mosque, there is no social distancing. And if you thought that it was tough living in idlib city, just take a look at the refugee camps up to 1. 5 Million People living in filthy, ground conditions. This is atma camp. Its one of the largest. People live on top of each other, sharing everything from tents to bathrooms, food and water. This seems like the perfect breeding ground for the virus, yet the official statistics show that only a handful of people have tested positive here. One of the reasons for this is that only people who are showing symptoms and are willing to come forward are being tested. But theres a stigma that comes along with being a covid carrier here. Little zane has the virus. He caught it from his father. Translation people have treated me as if im disgraced. If they see me in the streets, they walk away from me. A couple of days ago, i went to get some groceries from the store and people moved away from me as if i am the virus, as if i will kill them. So, unlike zane and his father, most people would prefer to suffer through the illness in silence which, in camps like this, means that they are super spreaders. Would you say that the virus is out of control in the camps . Its out of control, yes, absolutely. This winter will be very bad, very dark, very hard. We do not have many places for people in the camp, we do not have many medi kits for these, we do not have many fuel to make children and babies and women more warm in the camp. We do not have food enough for them. No one really knows just how bad the outbreak is in the camps. This is a population who have already endured the worst of humanity. Its hard to imagine, but if the outbreak in the camps is as bad as predicted, life here is about to become even harder. Stay with us on bbc news. Still to come fashion is it a line or a circle .

But in taking the place of the liberal Justice Ruth Bader ginsberg, she will change the court possibly for decades to come. Amy Coney Barrett refused to be drawn on issues such as abortion, Climate Change and gun control in her confirmation hearing, but few doubt her appointment could herald a new year of rulings and some of the keyissues year of rulings and some of the key issues of American Life. With just a week to go before election day, meanwhile, both candidates have been targeting key swing states such as pennsylvania.

We want competent people to lead our country and for our economy to grow. Translation perhaps there isjust no peaceful way. I dont know. Its a horrible thing to say, but probably only resistance fighters can help us. As the government insisted businesses werent affected, masked officers dragged people away, the Security Services warning the protesters they may be treated as terrorists. The authorities are really afraid of this form of protest. It seems this is the only form which really works. I think this is perhaps the only way right now. There is no possibility to organise a dialogue within belarus. The strike came a day after police fired stun grenades and detained scores of the tens of thousands of protesters taking part in the 11th straight weekend of rallies. As well as hunting down some in their apartments. Official media insisted president lukashenko was at work as normal on monday with a busy week ahead of him. The stand off continues.
