10:06 am
for leadership at this hour as it faces its worst civil unrest in generations is there any word as to when president trump might be addressing the nation. i'm aware that there is a rumor that he might consider the possibility of addressing the nation in his speech and i can repeat this have heard the rumor that he might be considering addressing the nation. and that is for the people behind me saying everything and not that he is actually very popular with the protesters and the population behind me they don't believe anything coming out of the mouth of the president of the united states. and they don't expect anything either no leadership no calming words no leadership vision for the future how to heal this country this country is
10:07 am
say many that's not me this is smarter people than me saying this this country needs a chalet leadership to heal. but. at least people here at least people here definitely think that the president is not the person who's going to deliver that stuff on thanks so much for that from the hapless. let's get a brief down some of the other stories making the news at this hour tropical storm amanda has battered el salvador killing at least 12 people the government declared a state of national emergency after heavy rains and powerful winds for good flash flooding and landslides cut power and left hundreds of people homeless the 1st storm of the pacific season also drenched neighboring guatemala. a gunman has killed at least 25 people at a market in eastern burke you know faso a similar attack friday claimed 15 lives the country has been battling job as

10:09 am
set to resume operating at full capacity of land though to reopen schools today has been delayed after opposition from teachers unions governing bodies and parents they say schools are not equipped to keep staff and students. standing by for us in front of the berg bill primary school in cape town. people are protesting at the school where you are today why is that. was mainly because of the confusion caused by the ministry of education here is the 2nd time that they have announced a date for the schools to resume and the 2nd time on a very short notice they decided to push it back once again for a further week until schools will resume here in south africa and i would say south africans are quite divided about it you have one part of the population that says well good we really have to get back to business our kids have to go back to school
10:10 am
and on the other hand you have people like the ones behind me who are protesting we're saying it's waste too early to send our kids back to school our schools are not yet ready and they don't have enough protective equipment you have people here with posters the saying keep our kids safe keep our teachers safe and they insist that it must wait longer until schools can restart because one of the points they're raising is also winter is starting in south africa and that is likely one of the factors that might bring the number of cases cases up schools are closed can you give us a picture of what parts of the economy are opening up today. south africa introduced a lockdown and 5 stages number 5 was the strictest one we've seen for 5 weeks where it was basically a total lockdown now we're going to stage 3 that means most businesses are allowed to open again millions of south africans will return to work again a big surprise here was that the president also that religious gatherings are also
10:11 am
allowed again up to 50 people it was a shock to many here because it was religious gatherings in the 1st place that helped to spread the virus in the initial face and but some restrictions obviously still remain facemask us till monday to re i just to get off for this interview here also the sale of cigarettes for example remains prohibited on the other hand they allowed the sale of alcohol so a lot of people who haven't been able to purchase a drink for 2 months will be quite happy from today experts are expecting about 1000000 cold 1000 in factions in south africa before the end of the year is the country prepared for ease restrictions under these conditions so i mean the lockdown here was introduced to get the health sector ready and a lot has been happening since then and more than 13000000 people were screened south africa that's more than 700000. and there's a lot of field hospitals popping up throughout the country because the number is
10:12 am
certainly going up the president says we will see an exponential growth of coronavirus cases right now we see about 33000 cases here but this is likely to go up very fast in the next month and as you said the worst case scenario we will see 1000000 infected people here and i.c.u. capacities are still not there yet there are 3500 beds at the moment and up to 335000 beds will be needed agents thanks so much for that from cape town. the spanish government has started paying out a national basic income to tackle an ongoing economic crisis need even worse by covert lockdown there's the move guarantees every household income of $10000.00 euros a leader a year spain's poverty rate was high before the pandemic and the extended lockdown has sent unemployment soaring. a queue of nearly 700 people snakes through the neighborhood all waiting for aid to help feed their families trued handouts

10:14 am
promised it would introduce a universal basic income to the value of some 3000000000 euros a year the money coming from the e.u. used corona rescue package will help them to keep that promise. this is the news still to come on our program this morning the artist christo has died at the age of 84 he became famous for buildings and landmarks got his life. first to belgium that country was among those worst affected by the pandemic but new infections are declining since early may hospitals have been allowed to offer a limited number of non urgent consultations but it turns out few people are taking up the offer. well. ball is happy to be finally treating patients again the eye specialist at the hospital in brussels has only been seeing

10:16 am
from $120.00 at the height of the crisis and they are strictly sekret. since early mate belgian hospitals have been allowed to offer a limited number of non-urgent consultations but people are not taking them up on the offer the consequences are dire not only for patients but for the entire health sector says the director general of some pierre hospital 1st and foremost describes is. has really put the hospitals all the obstacles in the country under the water in financially speaking so we have lost dogs of 1000000 euros. just because we were taking care of patients we have to stop everything else and everything else is what brings money to us the director expects the hospital to be 40 to 50000000 euros in the red this year he
10:17 am
wants the governments to step in and compensate hospitals without state health he says his hospital will have to cut all investments to stay afloat that would mean not maintaining and modernizing equipment scores of medics turned their backs on belgium's prime minister during her recent visits to the hospital one of them was julia best state he says stuff has been shouldering the enormous boredom of an already weaken system. to form and to educate and you know says you know so we in or 60 of the beast are with we have a lot of employees so everybody's under pressure everybody is. the stress and money isn't the only problem restrictions in the ongoing emergency plan leave some poor hospital operating at just 30 percent capacity we would like the
10:18 am
government to relax some of the rules completely understand the worry about the 2nd wave and the fact that we still need to be ready and we will but we also need to take care of all the non-coding patients who are also suffering from you know. serious diseases for many of them and diseases that could have been sequenced is as bad or even you know worse. than the cover it particularly if these patients all comment once love on ball is that a wave of people desperately seeking treatment could be on the way to avoid that she's encouraging patients to come now she says that the hospitals are safe and what's more waiting times for an appointment are shorter than ever. the world wide lock downs are continuing to take an immense personal toll and it's children who are often suffering the most many are not old enough to understand why
