but some would never come. when i wanted this to kate's zealots. on al-jazeera. almost her cause a 1000000 new coronavirus infections the biggest worldwide rise in a single day it comes as things take a turn for the worse in the united states. this is out 0 life and also coming up. the storm is upon us south africa's president brings back longtime restrictions after a surge in cases. libya's state owned oil company blames the u.a.e. for a blockade on oil exports by the world and we for have to. and in poland exit

polls predict a tight race between the 2 men battling it out to be president. so then there's been another record daily rise in the number of corona virus cases around the world 230000 people have been infected that is more than a hug a quarter of those are in the united states the state of florida has been particularly badly hit it lifted restrictions in may and has just reopened disney well but it's shuttered the national recall for new cases in a single day i recall had now reports. a new tragic record the largest number of coronavirus cases diagnosed in a single day in a single state of florida more than 15000 confirmed cases and the death toll is rising this is a state that was one of the 1st to reopen its economy and its republican governor

was defiant at 1st a lot of people in your profession who wax poetic leap for weeks and weeks about out florida was going to be just like new york wait 2 weeks florida's going to be met just like it only wait 2 weeks well hell we're 8 weeks away from that and it hasn't happened it took a few more weeks but it has happened and it's actually worse than it ever was in new york but unlike there the florida governor has not issued a state wide mandate to where mass. protests in one county tried to shoot and over the weekend another protest. a restaurant offering free food to people who refused to cover their faces selfish for not wearing a mask i want to say to you that all the people calling the selfish you're the one who's trying to force me a medical procedure so that you can feel more safe on the risks are very very loud this is a virus that has a 99.6 percent recovery rate this is a virus that is very well contained this is a virus that the c.d.c.

is removing epidemic status from none of that is true and wearing a mask is not a medical procedure still it has become a political statement for many in the u.s. the entire reason for the shutdown was so hospitals like the one behind me do not become overwhelmed when the states that are seeing the biggest increases like florida arizona texas the hospitals are close to capacity and given what we know about how this virus spreads it is likely that that is going to continue stretching the hospitals beyond capacity. the president spent much of the weekend golfing but officials in his administration made clear they are gearing up for a fight against the lead infectious disease expert in the government dr anthony thought i respect dr a lot but dr fox he is not 100 percent right and he also doesn't necessarily he admits that have the whole national interest in mind he looks at it from a very narrow public health point of view questions now about whether the man who

has led every national health emergency under 6 presidents will be fired by president trump in the midst of a growing pandemic patty call him al-jazeera maryland. mexico now has the 4th highest number of deaths from cavan 1000 in the world over take italy more than 35000 people have died it's recorded more than 300000 infections but the government says the true number is likely to be significantly higher and south africa is reimposing some restrictions as cases that spike a curfew is back in place of a night and alcohol sales abound of the country has the highest number of infections on the continent the president's arrival says scientists a full costing as many as 50000 deaths by the end of the year and a televised 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 alcohol will be suspended with immediate effect there is.

now clear evidence that the resumption of alcohol savings has resulted in substantial pressure being put on hospitals including trauma and i.c.u. units therefore as an additional measure to reduce the pressure on hospitals a care few will be put in place between the hours of 9 pm and 4 am let's enough room for me to miller who has more 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 i was 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. the nigerian government is to review agreements with several countries including u.k.

supported by the egypt now under international agreements only libya's national oil corporation can export the crude and all revenues must flow into the central bank both based in tripoli which is the seat of the un recognized government headed by fires also raj turkey's support in recent weeks has helped him to repel have to attempt to capture tripoli well have to his forces they want the oil revenue to be channeled into a new bank account overseas so that it can be distributed regionally after as many vote by the oil field since january costing libya nearly $6000000000.00 in lost revenue well i met but he is a nonresident senior fellow at the atlantic council where he focuses on libya and he says the oil blockade will likely force foreign players to get even more involved. while this blockade protracted and considering the protraction of this situation so to speak russia is actually the state that will be gathering the most

influence and has drawn in the us now is increasing the strew tonight in the situation and it has put it put it in quite a precarious situation because the pla medically speaking the us cannot do much unless it decides to counter russia either through very very concerted efforts soft power wise so that means speaking to terry key and speaking to the u.a.e. to stop doing what they're doing or to counter russia militarily because russia is involved in the military so it has these 2 options and i don't see it taking any of the 2 and that means that libya is headed to a certain extent in some form some way shape or form to either a yemen or as syria like scenario unfortunately. well these developments come as images on social media appear to show forces loyal to half the mobilising toward the city of sirte if you don't recognize government in tripoli she had the pictures saying they show armored vehicles into russian made defense systems forces backing

the tripoli based government to be massing on the outskirts of sirte the coastal city the gateway to major oil facilities which at the moment are under afters control. exit polls after poland's presidential election runoff suggest the race is too close to call the conservative incumbent. is to get around 51 percent of the vote and he's up against the socially liberal warsaw mayor rafael across costs and the result could lead to a big shakeup and ponens politicians and so on you know. an extraordinarily tight race and the result on my couch 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 snapping at the heels of the incumbent. also a centrist pro european union man he launched his campaign at the last minute but as proven to be a spoiler for president do this a short when. all the votes just need to be counted which in truth will make this evening a nerve wracking one for everyone in poland but i'm absolutely convinced when we count each vote we will be victorious and we will definitely win and redo those deeply conservative and homophobic agenda was an appeal to his party's. nationalist base his constitutional reforms that we can the independence of the country's judiciary also put him at odds with the you compared with ruffo. whose liberal

program called new solidarity was designed to evoke the movement that helped and communist rule in poland he is seeking stronger relations with the e.u. than his competitor campaigned on but despite the clash between 2 radically different agendas voters came out in record numbers the highest turnout in the country since 1989 the final results won't be declared until tuesday and there will also be the votes of some half a 1000000 poles who are living outside the country in a race this tight every single one of them will count on it i go. still ahead here on al-jazeera. had an education emergency that could be released 10000000 children never go back to school plus. the label does it stream is but this rap group in the u.s. says it's just calling for when it's.

just around the gulf of guinea yet again so western areas a common room could see some flooding rains the possibility of very heavy rain there into northern parts of nigeria over the next day also could also see wanted to show you notice it's a coastal areas of kenya along with southern parts of somalia so the past south africa will see some wet weather pushing through over the next couple of days cool and windy for cape town on monday. but. an image can change the way we see the wu if we had not seen this week with me talking about it it can spark mass action or serve the interests of the powerful he created this moment for a follow up or to any act that can obscure the truth this is a legitimate news story that is correct and that talking points are pretty identical it can forge narratives all right through the listening post gives you

the full picture on a. again your reminder of our top stories at this hour there has been another record daily rise in the number of corona virus cases around the world 230000 people have been infected more than a quarter of those are in the united states. south africa is bringing back a nighttime curfew and a ban on alcohol sales to tackle rising cases of the country has the highest number of infections on the continent. libya's national oil corporations accusing the united arab emirates of pushing for have to reimpose

19 we the infections can be tracked and reported on unlike the economic cost which can be measured in lost growth rising unemployment or to at the cost of 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 be at risk of dropping out because of the learning caps that have opened up will make been in lockdown and of course it is girls who bear the brunt of this because we know that when girls are out of school the risk of early marriage go out exponentially so that's why it's really so critical that we wake up to the this emergency that we are facing and as an international community response we're. a

one i think us. we're facing a shortage of aid to food and clothes the important thing is bread people can't afford to buy it from outside we need basics like we said sugar and cooking oil and it has. the situation is very bad we don't get enough aid but people depend on it to survive in the camp if even less comes they will face huge hardship with 2 crossing points we're barely surviving will be under even more pressure if it's reduced to one humanitarian aid agencies worry that reducing the number of crossing points will further choke off vital. for years the un ran its humanitarian operations through 4 crossing points 2 in turkey one in iraq and one in jordan. the international organization warns stop being cross border a delivery will cause suffering and death now this is happening at

a time when the humanitarian crisis in the country has actually got worse we had almost a 1000000 people displaced earlier this year so we are very concerned that the amount of access for humanitarian aid is being reduced at the very time when we actually need more access stranded and surviving mainly through a serious face another major crisis with covert 19 spreading in opposition territory limited to a delivery to one border crossing will also likely further delay much needed medical supplies to contain the outbreak for now russia will have a bigger say over cross border operations and for many displaced syrians pushed by the army to retake rebel held areas will leave them with 2 options face starvation or surrender house in marbella al-jazeera. at least $21.00 sailors have been
