state owned oil company blames the u.a.e. for a blockade on oil exports reimposed by the wall or the leaf i have to. exit polls suggest a tight race in poland as both the incumbent president and his rival claim victory in a runoff vote. 230000 coated 19 infections in 24 hours the world has now recorded its biggest daily rise since the outbreak of coronavirus began that's according to the world health organization and the situation in the united states the country hardest hit has taken a turn for the worse the state of florida alone has registered more than 15000 new cases on sunday that number subpar sees the highest daily tally reported by any european country and what new york recorded when the pandemic peaked there in 80.

probably florida began lifting restrictions in may now elsewhere in the world south africa has reimposed a nighttime curfew and a ban on the sale of alcohol it has the highest number of cases on the continent of africa nearly 13000000 people globally have been diagnosed with copd 19 more the hof a 1000000 have died according to the johns hopkins university track oh let's get more from patrick away in our correspondent joining us live this hour from maryland so why is florida suffering so much patty. well florida decided to open up as you mentioned very quickly and so what we're seeing now is the hospitals are starting to become overwhelmed it really is when it comes to corona virus in the united states a case of where you live and what your governor decided to do you remember this was an issue where the u.s. president said this is up to the states they need to figure out their testing they need to figure out their hospitals so here in maryland with a republican governor took it very seriously shut it down didn't reopen quickly the

hospitals have plenty of capacity the positive test results for the crowd of iris here are less than 5 percent now let's put that to florida where the governor keeps saying these cases are going up because they have more tests that is not true just to give you a sense they did 25000 test a day in florida a month ago there positivity rate that's the number of cases coming back positive compared to the overall test was about 5 percent now they're doing $50000.00 tests a day and they're positivity rate is almost 20 percent so that's not because they're doing more testing it's because more people are getting sick important remember florida doesn't have a rule where he says you have to wear your mask some cities do but the state has not taken that step and they haven't really shut down again even though we saw the governor to you know 2 weeks after he opened in may say journals were wrong it's not the end of the world like everything's fine but he hasn't taken any steps to change the course of this disease so let's think about it if there's 15000 today we

know the way this virus operates imagine how many people those 15000 positive cases have infected over the last 2 to grow it does their symptoms were showing up but they were still able to spread the virus so the hospitals are on the verge of reaching capacity the 15000 number shows no sign of going down likely scientists say it's just going to continue to increase exponentially in the health care system in florida cope with this. no no they probably can't and we're seeing that not just in florida but we're seeing it in houston we're seeing it in texas a lot of states in texas california arizona starting to see increases in states like south carolina so remember when this all happened in march the entire reason that the country went into lockdown was because they saw what happened in italy and spain they didn't want to see the doctors there have to make those choices as to who gets critical care and who doesn't so what we're seeing now is the hospitals

are having happen to them exactly what they were afraid of they're also running short on public p. p. e. that protective gear they need the running short on tests they're running out of tests so it depends on the state where you live in but in those states where we're seeing a rise it's more than 30 of the states seen an increase in cases the situation is only going to get worse and so far in many of these states we haven't seen the state leadership decide that they need to make any changes to keep that from growing talk to you later i'm sure in the meantime thank you very much political hay correspondent there in maryland well as we mentioned at the top of the program south africa is really imposing some restrictions as case is this the president's several run the post says scientists a full costing as many as 50000 deaths by the end of the year and some of us address he explained why the government is bringing back the lockdown measures we've now decided that the sale the dispensing and the distribution of uncle home

will be suspended with immediate effect there is. now clear evidence that the resumption of. as you solitude in some pressure being put on hospitals including trauma and i.c.u. units therefore as an additional masha to do's the pressure on hospitals a kid if you will be put in place between the hours of 9 pm and 4 am. for me more for us now from johannesburg boss of africa had quite a strict lockdown in place as the 1st infections were recorded back in march and april some of those restrictions have been eased but the president also said that south africans aren't at hearing to the regulations that are meant to try and stop the spread of covert 19 he says people aren't wearing mosque there so massive

social gatherings especially on weekends massive funerals where people are likely to catch coronavirus because they're not adhering to any of the health regulations in place so that was very much the gist of that address but also given the surge in numbers in recent weeks you also mentioned how. a quarter of the infections are quarter of the deaths recorded and then are sitting at just over 4000 were in the last week alone and now south africa seeing an average of 12000 new infections every day and every day we're seeing a new record in the number of infections and just how concerned the government is at this point and this is what's led to the government reversing or backpedaling to some extent around some of the easing of restrictions. turn attention to libya where the national oil corporation is accusing the united arab emirates of pushing

the warlord to reimpose a blockade of its facilities on friday his forces had allowed a tanker carrying crude for export to set sail for the 1st time in 6 months but they now see the siege will stay till their demands of distribution of profits from exports are met the u.s. embassy in libya that it quotes regrets foreign backed efforts impeding the resumption of oil activities. these developments come as images on social media do appear to show forces loyal to mobilizing towards the city of sirte the u.n. recognize government in tripoli shared the pictures saying they show armored vehicles and 2 russian made defense systems forces backing the tripoli based government have been massing on the outskirts of the coastal city as a gateway to major oil facilities which at the moment are on the afters control government to as the principal russia analyst a global risk consultancy very risk maple crufty says russia is cementing its

position as a major player in libyan affairs. my understanding is that jarrett is one of the gateways to both energy industry of libya as well as on the road to tripoli so this is you know a chance for haftorah to to regain the momentum after being on the back foot for much of the last couple of months but this is a really interesting ad development in the far as it shows how much russia is in gauging and in libya is less about achieving very specific strategic goals in the country so much as it is maintaining a local client that it can use to leverage to to get a seat at the table when any peace deal is actually agreed and part of the problem they've had with this is where. marshall half stars other allies have been trying to pressure him into accepting some sort of a broader peace deal particularly egypt recently he's been able to turn to russia

their commitment which in turn has had allies of the libyan government. upping their commitment and egypt therefore then again having to commit to the civil war to a greater degree than it would otherwise the like so this whole you know plan to. gain a seat at the peace table by engaging in the region to get in the game is one that kind of backfiring as the the local proxies are able to play their various patrons off against one another at least 18 sailors have been injured offering splosion on board a u.s. military ship in san diego in california thick black smoke has been billing from the u.s.s. bonhomme richard which was docked at san diego's naval base firefighters on boats were attempting to put out the fire some 160 sailors were on board when the blaze was 1st reported but they will hold evacuated. exit polls after poland's

presidential runoff suggest the race is now too close to call at the moment the conservative incumbent is to get about 50.4 percent of the vote he's up against the socially liberal mayor of warsaw. the result could lead to a big shake up in polish politics and also affect ties with neighboring countries so new reports. an extraordinarily tight race and the result on my perch by a small margin under a do that is projected to stay in office 5 years in the role propped up by the rightwing law and justice party yet for all the control they wield in poland do death failed to secure a comfortable win so yes not a bad example to the public i want to make it clear and strong that i am happy about my victory for now it's only an exit poll victory but looking at the past results as you all saw it it has grown in my favor. this is the man

ok quick reminder of your top stories so far today here from al-jazeera florida has reported the single biggest daily rise in covert 19 cases of any west state since the pandemic began it's a pass the previous record that was set by new york sunday also saw a global record rise in daily infections. a nighttime curfew and a ban on the sale of alcohol has been reimposed across south africa to tackle qubit 19 the country has the highest number of infections across the continent of africa one of the story libya's national oil corporation is accusing the u.a.e. of pushing the warlords after to reimpose a blockade of its facilities the day after he allowed an oil tanker to sail with oil meant for exports his forces control most of libya's oil installations. 10000000 children may never go back to school after qubit 19 shutdowns that's according to save the children the charity is calling it a hidden education emergency and says girls will be the hardest hit budget cuts and

rising poverty from the pandemic may lead to an estimated $77000000000.00 shortfall for education until 2022 children are at extremely high risk of dropping out for ever in western central africa yemen and afghanistan girls are less likely to return with many forced into early marriage or at risk of teenage pregnancy save the children is urging governments to prioritize education and they are asking debtors to delay repayments for poorer countries so they can pay for schools let's talk now to kevin walk ins in he's chief executive of save the children u.k. he joins us from london kevin walk ins are we talking just to be clear here about 1.61.7000000 children being forced to what we would call formal full time education never to get back into that. we

aren't got through the tip of an iceberg because they serve as we describe in the report is a hidden education emergency unlike coded 19 we the infections can be tracked and reported on unlike the economic costs which can be measured in lost growth royson unemployment or to at the cost that this education emergency will be borne by children we estimate that the least $10000000.00 children who are now out of school and who were in school will never go back to school there are many millions more children who will go back to school to be at risk of dropping out because of the learning. will make been in lockdown and of course it is girls who bear the brunt of this because we know. when girls are out of school the risk of early marriage go up exponentially so that's why it's really so critical that we wake up to this emergency that we're facing and as an

international community responds with why can't we simply carry on with online learning i mean we've interviewed many teachers many academics who specialize in the teaching of children as opposed to the teaching of students and they generally say the online learning model around the world has been a success so are we therefore talking about areas where online learning is either impossible or it hasn't happened over the past 4 months. well online learning is a great thing if you're a line we know the least 500000000 children who are not allowed to school are not online we know from our surveys in save the children and why do surveys that at least 80 percent of children in the poorest countries who are out of school are getting no support at all with learning now it's absolutely critical that when

these children go back to school they are they 1st of all there are searched and secondly that schools are properly resourced to to conduct these learning assessments and provide them with accelerated learning the hundreds of millions of children who are on the wrong side of the digital divide and really not getting access to those online opportunities if this is as bad as you say it is mr watkins and i'm not questioning that of course briefly does this mean that we all suffer because if you've got a 10 year old and the education of that 10 year old stops at 10 you've then got a 152025 year old lacking the basic skills to go into the workplace. well that's a correct exactly right these are the costs that children will carry throughout their lives. in the old blanton school for example so when those girls become mothers those children far less likely to be vaccinated they're far more likely to

die before their 5th birth so we know that every year of education will increase earnings by around 9 percent a year so for millions of children this is not a poverty which is being closed down now that is why we're calling on the international community to convert the debt night billeted days of the very poorest countries into investments in this precious asset of children and the education of children we have to leave it there kevin watkins thank you for coming on we do appreciate your time thank you. in mali funerals have been held for antigovernment protesters killed in the capital bamako at least 4 people died during demonstrations this week tension is high despite president. promising to form a national unity government he's been accused of failing to solve mali security and economic problems and protesters say they won't be satisfied unless he steps down

a bit is. done with relations with government should be in accordance with the law in syria questioning an investigation are your rights as has been mentioned in the law but insulting and accusing someone without providing accurate information or not you're right that's up to members of iran's most conservative parliaments it's 1979 revolution tackled and shouted at foreign minister divides read. he was called a liar by some in parliament angry over the handling of the 2015 nuclear deal a deal that was supposed to curb iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief but since donald trump pulled the u.s. out of that deal and reimposed sanctions iran's economy has struggled and it's prompted conservatives who gained a majority in elections this year to turn around president has and rouhani and his reformist. shouldn't have emotional and irrational reactions should be wise and justified sometimes you don't agree with an opinion 100 percent these may be normal

political differences but iran has also suffered an explosion at a suspected missile site and a fire at its natanz nuclear plant in recent weeks which iran has said could cause delays for parts of its program to sort or to join in addition to there's been financial damage but thank god no casualties. an admission of damage but no indication of what the cause was or who was behind it some outside the country have pointed the finger at israel and the us the supreme leader reminding his parliament of the threat to the country faces and how they must stand together against the u.s. there are attempts by conservative politicians to summon president rouhani to parliament to face questions and there's even talk of impeachment it's not clear if the eye to those remarks will stop this course of action if they don't then it will put conservative politicians on a collision course with the supreme leader if they listen then they could be accused of toeing the line and holding president rouhani to account. al-jazeera the
