story in slovakia with over a 1000 cases a record figure for just one day united kingdom is having to consider implementing even more covert 19 restrictions as the 2nd wave accelerates cases they're rising by about 14000 every day the situation in ukraine is looking increasingly dire as lock down measures are extended a record 5000 people have been diagnosed with the virus in the past 24 hours and in germany there warnings of the virus spreading uncontrollably with health officials concerned that could soon be 10000 cases a day. i would like to elicit thoughts of the current situation worries me a lot we don't know how things will develop over the next few weeks it's possible that we will see more than 10000 new cases a day it's possible that the virus spreads uncontrollably. let's cross live now to dominic kane len dominic how the numbers stacking up where you are.

the numbers of new infections of corona virus have been rising for several weeks now a a steady rise of numbers but in the course of the last several days it's been a surge of new numbers and it's really worrying officials and elected officials this morning more than 4000 cases announced and we were hearing there from the head of the robert costa institute about his concern that it could soon be 5 digit figures of new infections i must say that the chancellor angela merkel at one point last week was talking about the potential for being even more than that such was the level of concern amongst the health officials but also amongst the politicians here in germany in so far as the solutions that they're talking about all several people eminent politicians have pointed to the system in place here in the city

state of perl in a traffic light system warning people in 3 different categories related to covert 93 which can be followed where people can see ok this is the danger level and this is what the government's doing about it it's in place here in berlin and the prime minister of various has suggested it for the whole country but so far at least that has not been agreed at the federal level. and dominic this bike in numbers it's being reflective throughout europe isn't it. yes if you look at the map of western and central europe you can see that this surge this 2nd wave of grown. there is a surge of corona and it is spreading right around the continents in fact in some ways the german experience is not that of the other case neighboring countries austria we know the highest number of new infections on any single day announced this morning poland we know more than 4000 infections announced we know also about

the situation in the benelux countries specifically in belgium and the netherlands where calls for lock downs and tightening of restrictions on on and social distancing have been the the words on the lips of many and we know the situation in france as well has been one where a doubling of infections many thousands of people are being reported as testing positive for the corona virus so it's quite clear that what's happening right now is the surgeon cases the interesting thing is that at least in so far as germany is concerned there has not been a parallel rise in the death rate so far but people will recall that during the course of the pandemic in this country that was the case that the provision of bed space the provision of testing and the provision of the sorts of materials used to reduce the the impact of the virus in the human body has been such the death rates here weren't that high but that's what people will be watching out for will the

death rate as the numbers of new infections have been surging. kain there with the very latest in berlin many thanks. at least 30 more soldiers have been killed in fighting over nagorno-karabakh the defense ministry in the disputed region says 350 servicemen have died since fighting with a very forces broke out 12 days ago it is the worst of violence between armenia and azerbaijan in decades there was more shelling overnight in the region's main cities toponica it's forced many to take refuge in on the ground shelters a local rights group says half the population has been displaced because of constant attacks from azerbaijan. and they've been similar accusations from the very side they accuse armenia of targeting population centers civilian deaths have been reported in several regions where hundreds of homes have been destroyed by

artillery international mediators stepping up their efforts to hold the conflicts with french russian and u.s. representatives meeting in geneva well turkey's foreign minister has criticised international efforts that have failed to resolve the dispute he says all media was emboldened because no one challenge their occupation of azerbaijani territory we have to change this stuff it cannot go it cannot continue like this the territories of azerbaijan including not in the karbala under the occupation of armenia for almost 3 decades since 1922 we have minsk group we have missed call chairs russia united states and france has there been any solution or any credible efforts no so that's why armenia is very much encouraged to attack as a bridge in the territory is not under the occupation. in july and also recently

so we also believe in a peaceful negotiated solution but everybody has to understand the frustration preservations of the bija. as bring you some breaking news the 2020 nobel prize for literature has just been announced it's gone to the american poet louise gluck the nobel committee awarded it to her list a couple poetic voice. u.s. vice president mike pence and his democratic rival come along horace have squared off over the challenges facing the nation including the pandemic economy and global warming but it was much less raucous than last week's presidential debate between donald trump and joe biden brunell's reports senator harrison vice president pence thank you for being here the sharp exchanges over the trumpet ministrations

handling of the coronavirus pandemic started the debate whatever the vice president is claiming the administration has done clearly it hasn't worked when you're looking at over 210000 dead bodies in our country american lives that have been lost families that are grieving that loss and you know the vice president is the head of the task force but when you see what the american people have done over these last 8 months hasn't worked. it's a great disservice the sacrifices the american people of maine so let's talk about caring about the american people the american people have had to sacrifice far too much because of the incompetence of this administration pince dodged a question about the rose garden ceremony that became a super spreader event it was an outdoor event which all of our scientists regularly and routinely advise the difference here is president trump and i trust the american people to make choices in the best interest of their health care is

fired back let's talk about respecting the american people you respect the american people when you tell them the truth but look senator harris you're trying to do your own opinion but the candidates clashed over the economy taxes and sharply over global warming which harris called an existential threat we have seen a pattern with this administration which is they don't believe in finance and joe's plan is about saying we're going to deal with it but we're also going to create jobs donald trump when asked about the wildfires in california and the question was you know the science is telling us this you know what donald trump said that science doesn't know we don't need a massive 2 trillion dollar green new deal that would impose all new mandates on american businesses and american families there were flashes reminiscent of the chaotic trial biden debate as parents repeatedly interrupted and talked over harris but she remained calm mr vice president speaking if you don't mind letting me

finish we can have a conversation ok please ok senator harris other issues discussed included racial justice policing reform and the rise of white supremacists i want everyone to know who puts on the uniform of law enforcement every day president trump and i stand with you and the reality of this is that we are talking about an election in 27 days where last week the president of the united states took it to. bait stage in front of 70000000 americans and refused to condemn white supremacists whether any of the exchanges in this debate will change many voters' minds remains to be seen meanwhile both parents and harris as well as biden will be campaigning on thursday in arizona a swing state where polls show biden is leading robert also al jazeera salt lake city. you know into states approach to foreign policy also received plenty of

attention come a lot horace criticize trump's relationships with foreign powers while pence said there works in america's favor donald trump the commander in chief of the united states of america prefers to take the word of lattimer putin over the word of the american intelligence community you look at our friends at nato has walked away from agreements you can talk look at the iran nuclear deal and because of donald trump's unilateral approach to foreign policy coupled with his isolationism he pulled us out and has made america less safe will present from kept his word when we move the american embassy to jerusalem the capital of the state of israel with joe biden as vice president and they promise to do that they never did we stood strong with our allies but we've been demanding nato is now contributing more to our common defense than ever before thanks to president from leadership we strengthen our alliances across the as you pacific and we've stood strong. against

those who would do us harm marwan bashar assad is there as chief political analyst he explains how trump's approach as a hard line negotiated doesn't always work when it comes to global politics particularly with china. this is one of the shortcomings of a businessman c.e.o. if you will come statesman. president trump has been boasting for decades now about his capacity to negotiate even books force help others about how to negotiate the whole bit for him is that i can sit with president china and i can move into a very distinct force the chinese don't work that way. statesman they are probably the longest duration in the history of humankind they understand systems and they understand how to work in terms of a huge bureaucracy so the idea that president bush simply convince president xi was

of course a nonstarter not only that there's something even more important personal relations don't work in such huge competitions as i was saying between the rising. president obama a number of things not perfect. not enough but he did what a number of free trade agreements with a number of countries surrounding china on the other hand engage china on trade and you need to the europeans who are. america's most important ally for any strategic move for china india knitted americas asia and. south korea and others that america needs in order to contain china economically. still ahead on al-jazeera tens of thousands rally across indonesia against a war they say will harm workers and the environment plus. and i'm nicholas hawk

the 1st time since he was released from hospital on monday i went in i wasn't feeling so hot and within a very short period of time they gave me regeneration it's called regeneration and other things too but i think this was the key but they gave me regeneration and it was like unbelievable i felt good immediately i felt as good 3 days ago as i do now so i think this was a blessing from god that i caught it this was a blessing in disguise i caught it i heard about this drug i said let me take it it was my suggestion i said let me take it and it was incredible the way it worked i want to get for you what i got and i'm going to make it free you're not going to pay for it it wasn't your fault that this happened it was china's fault and china is going to pay a big price what they've done to this country china is going to pay a big price what they've done to the world mike hanna has more on the president's

video from washington d.c. . he's talking about monaco newell antibody cocktail called regeneration which was given to president trump while he was in hospital now there's a huge amount of problems associated with this. trial studies for this particular cocktail were only released at the end of september it is still in development it is nowhere near final trials or nowhere near if da approval now president trump got a. certain exception that he was allowed to use the compassionate use that is termed now we understand as well wolf from one of the co-founders of the company itself that president trump is one of only 10 people outside clinical trials who's actually received a dose of regeneration saying it's going to be free to all americans well that means the federal government is going to pay for it president trump says as well that the military will distribute it and we understand from regeneration officials

that the 1st contract for the 1st 300000 doses has been signed to the department of defense so the 1st body that will get doses of this drug is the department of defense which goes in accord with president trump's claims that at the military will actually distribute the cocktail but it's a long way away from that just to produce this volume of cocktails before final clinical trials of even being concluded is very difficult situation to see. a day and sees a warning of a shopping crease in coronavirus cases across war torn syria they fear the lack of infrastructure in opposition and kiddush held areas mean doctors won't be able to deal with a significant outbreak and despite the relatively low number of cases confirmed by the government the u.n. believes there is a widespread community transmission cena called all reports that reports from inside syria continue to point to a much broader spread of kopi 90 and. the number of confirmed cases the united

nations has been reporting rising infection rates in syria for some time now given the limited testing cross the country and challenges in contact tracing it is likely that the actual number of cases far exceeds official figures. the syrian government reports nearly 4500 cases and 200 deaths and portrays the situation as under control but multiple sources questioned that narrative they say infections have been in the 10s of thousands and at least 65 doctors died as they struggled in ill equipped hospitals with a lack of protective gear many. many . other.

infections have also increased 10 fold in opposition controlled territories in northern syria at least 30 percent are health workers coping is a challenge especially because there was a health crisis before the coronavirus the outbreak hundreds of medical workers were killed and facilities destroyed during the war and a deliberate campaign by syrian government forces and their allies medical workers say they are on the brink of an emergency come into court on a can before the pandemic we used to work from now until 2 we are now working from 9 till 7 and sometimes even longer hours. despite that testing remains limited this medical laboratory serves up to 4000000 people who live in it live and nearby areas even when we have centers up and running we don't have sufficient. that is going to be a challenge coming down the line to be able to test as many people as. needed and

also people who are trained to analyze. and. efforts are being made to slow the spread by raising awareness of distributing hygiene kits in this densely populated and impoverished region where many live in camps sanitation is a challenge with a shortage of medical equipment and supplies as well as a weakened health infrastructure due to 9 years of conflict and government neglect communities are vulnerable so i'm afraid there beirut. and in sri lanka key government offices have been closed to battles in cases departments including immigration on most of vehicles have stopped to stop people from congregating a curfew is also been extended an outbreak in the capital centered around a garment factory which happened this week so far the cluster is grown to more than 1000 cases in just a few days opposition groups in kurdistan look deeply
