was beyond small groups of peaceful protesters openly flouting a new national security law. they were also individual acts of defiance. the demonstrators were also disobeying social distancing rules the mass gatherings they were angry because sunday was supposed to be hong kong's election day the government citing code 19 for the perspective and our boys have been silenced by the government yet every time we want to apply for like a protest or marsh they always bend bend us so this time we didn't apply for a. march or protest to a police chase hearing officer and go with their decision to cancel the election has nothing to do with covert 19 i think the government is here to suppress the people's demands and what the future should look like there was a heavy police presence across the coulomb peninsula as officers moved quickly to shut down any opportunities for large gatherings i thought one stage firing pebbles

infections with more than $90000.00 cases it's not the largest daily caseload globally for almost a month and as such overtake brazil as the 2nd worst affected nation after the united states india's death toll has now passed 70000 with well over 4000000 cases india's government says the rise is due to increased testing and is continuing its push to ease more restrictions and when and actually narayan is director of the center for disease dynamics economics and policy he says india's true number of infections is likely much higher. so donna do studies in india indicate that we're probably undercounting cases by a factor of anywhere b d n a 100 perhaps even more and keep in mind that there are all 1000000 cases that are reported these are not the 2 would back into the sea recruitment service would indicate that we're well above you know 15100000000 infections true infections

right now because most of these are a problem so we're sure that anywhere between 20 and 30 percent of indians are already infected now the health care system has been challenged in the urban areas . but it is eases now in many rural parts of india where there are a lot of people that are not private health care facilities and it's true you challenge here because it's an invisible epidemic there are people dying but they're not getting counted or reported that the bottom line if is the number of people killed by the corona virus in mexico is far higher than previously thought the health ministry says 122007 165 excess deaths were recorded during the pandemic as well as double mexico's official quoted 19 death toll which 867000 is the 4th highest in the world several regional government offices have run out of death certificates let's get more on this from that is how the real getty who's involved . the excess deaths being put down to.

well and this has been a problem since the start of the friend in mexico because this is a country that has been doing a very very small amount of tests compared to the population instead of relying on statistical methods to try and trace the spread of the virus in the country and this according to what experts believe has also meant that a lot of deaths have gone on accounted that this has happened and particularly in hospitals that didn't have access to tests a lot of people have died at home also and other people that have died the quickly after arriving in hospitals have not been tested so. this is not surprising however the number seems to be particularly high now it's impossible at this point to know if all 'd of these dates or do are related to the 19 this season but

most likely the majority of them will be in this of course as creative control over see critics of the government in mexico are saying that the government there is trying to hide the real numbers of the pandemic in the country the government is saying that's not the case it has no more to do with the way we've been fighting it the important thing is if we've been able or not to controlled a number of deaths there's no doubt that this will continue to create controversy though in the country and definitely the real number of this tragedy is much higher there and in tasmania you can compare with the rest of latin america on dealing with creative r's. yes this is not mexico's problem alone most countries have to deal with under reporting in the number of cases in dates of course but some countries seem to have fared so far better than others in colombia where we are according to the government statistics

the excess in deaths would be below 10 percent of the official confirmed number so far but other countries instead of been doing even worse then mexico piru for example that's the country with the highest number of confirmed cases per 1000000 people in the world 87 of every 100. have died of the cove in 19 even considering that it looks like the real numbers are more than doubled in the death even in a situation even worse than mexico but it looks like the worst performing country in latin america so far as been believe. this situation there has been particularly complicated because of an ongoing political crisis but a recent numbers are showing that there could that the number of deaths could be 5

times higher then the confirmed number so far what's definitely it was a what's clear is that at the end this will be a much much bigger tragedy than the one we're looking at this moment anderson the amputee with a picture from latin america thank you very much indeed infections in several european countries is surging france reported another 7000 cases on sunday officials say the spike is partly due to increased testing and hospitalizations and fatalities contained nearly 3000 new infections have been recorded here in the u.k. that's the highest number since late may the government says mostly among young people there are fears that it could spread to the vulnerable. we'll take whatever action is necessary but the 1st line of defense is that people should follow social distancing we've also got the testing in the tracing and they're happening at wreck order rates we can use and we will use local lock downs if that's what's necessary

but the 1st line of defense for everybody no matter who you are no matter how old you are is to follow that social distancing so that we don't pass it on to people who will end up hospitalized or worse street virus restrictions in the australian today melbourne have been extended by another 2 weeks until late october health officials said the infection rate has declined more slowly than hoped melbourne in the state of victoria has been under a stage for knock down since the beginning of august a nighttime curfew remains in place and it's been shortened a tour it counts for 90 percent of australia's virus 7 virus deaths of 753. there is only one option and that is to do this in a series of steady and saif steps you can't run out of lock down because all you're doing is running into a 3rd wife and we'll all be locked up again i want to christmas that is as close to
