the cheerful protests that are being disperse with violence by riot police by police commandos and the kids think going on right now as we speak. some observers are calling the state of emergency a pretext for a crackdown on chest powerless to authorities to. basically carry out and no read the can and you whine and call me human rights violations with impunity so for whatever that happened today authorities cannot be. held accountable they cannot be put on call or they're going to be taken to be put in court on trial. no remedy use no compensation cannot be strong so this is a blank check for all repression and i'm thailand has sadly a return to solitary and rule. no be more and more repressive our goods coming

from robin is. not always the crackdown on protests we've. had on the issue we see a number of people protests are being put in custody with no access to the idea of next the crackdown on the media and stirring speech we have already beaten being informed that in times of culprits all of shadow side has been to see well what i have already given the problem in issue one mean to social media use said that any comments any critical comments against the government against them when i get will be punished so this is a very bad side that has got its driving further and further into this if the pay attention to $9.00 a little bit literally the 15 seconds we have left what about the king is he expected to intervene and if so what would he do briefly. if that

would be. the. mediation after you used to have it on there the previous team. it should have happened early right bad bad bad man calling for restraint from all sides calling for all all sides to listen to each other and even crap about anything bad to happen before it happened before that bad bad bad bad the previous kid broke in between conflicting parties in trying to camera. bad to end to a bloodshed. reconfirmation wanted for recovery completion. so now you think the security. human rights watch asia we'll have to leave it there really appreciate your time thank you let's turn now to some of the other stories

making news around the world at this hour 13 bodies have been recovered from a landslide in central vietnam triggered by torrential rains nearly all the victims were or were army officers trying to rescue missing workers already buried by another flooding has killed dozens in recent days. several european countries say they are deeply concerned and israeli plans to build more new homes in the west bank in a joint statement germany france italy spain and the u.k. called the move counterproductive israel has approved the construction of thousands of settlements in the occupied territory. u.s. social media platform twitter says it's investigating a global it the company says it has no evidence of a security breach or a half users in many countries reported not being able to use a platform for more than an hour. u.s. president donald trump and his democratic challenger joe biden have been answering

questions from voters at separate televised events held at the same time on different t.v. channel the so-called town hall meetings replace the 2nd presidential debate which was canceled after trump was diagnosed with 19 and then refused to conduct the debate online the rivals have very different approaches. always confident at times defensive as the incumbent u.s. president donald trump now has a record to pick apart and he got a grilling starting out with the nation's biggest crisis the coronavirus. knew it was a big threat at the same time i don't want to panic this country i don't want to go out and say everybody's going to die everybody's got their it all right you don't have mislead but you can you know you know there's not a little bit and more contentious exchanges as trump made exaggerated claims about voter fraud and deflected criticism over his tax returns and his position on white

supremacy that rush into it you've done this lying to everybody seem like i do white supremacy you times against a white supremacy for years my position at the same time on a different channel a different tone thomas challenger joe biden offered a forceful rebuke of trump's pandemic response there's a presidential responsibility to lead and he didn't do that he didn't talk about what needed to be done because he kept worrying and my view about the stock market we make up 4 percent of the world's population we have 20 percent of the world's deaths we're in a situation where we have $210.00 plus 1000 people dead and what's he doing nothing he's still not worried mass and so on because at times that bite and he entered but he did deliver clear punch lines on a number of issues including foreign policy if they will and before the election you are open greeba most effective as a world leader in my humble opinion not just by the exercise of our power most

powerful nation in the world but the power of our example that's what's led the rest of the world to follow us calling for after trading blows remotely the 2 candidates will again face off at the final election debate next week about making that you enforce that where you could joining me now from washington is our sumi so misconduct who's been keeping an eye on things sumi good to see you what's been the reaction over there to how the rivals fared on their t.v. appearances last night. michael i think this really here is being seen as a study and how different these 2 candidates are how different they are in tone and content we saw in those pictures their president trump relatively combative evading the some questions joe biden on the other hand delivering very lengthy at times as the piece said meandering answer is really policy driven we didn't hear or see much new from either candidate but beyond that the reaction has been very predictably

along partisan lines so president trump's team here are celebrating the fact that they say the president showed strength that he was able to engage with voters and shape the narrative in a way where he was able to highlight what he sees as some of his administration's accomplishments joe biden seen saying this is an example of why he needs to be the next president he spoke with voters he spent time on big policy points in there pointing out the fact that after the cameras stopped rolling in joe biden's town hall debate he stayed an extra 30 minutes or so to answer more voters questions but michael i will say that again we saw how these 2 men are very different wavelengths and as one observer here put it i think correctly had they been on the same stage we very likely would have experienced something similar to the 1st presidential clash which benefited nobody near the net neither the candidates nor the viewers should be i have to ask you i mean do these public appearances or or debates even matter in this election given the large number of early votes already cast and the relatively small number of undecided voters. michael it's hard to imagine that

anybody was really swayed by what they saw and just remember visually you had this very odd spectacle if you can call it that of the split screen dueling town hall debate format and the reason for that this constant visual reminder was that president trump as you mentioned had contracted covert 19 and refused to take part in a virtual debate so we got another reminder of how contentious this election season has been and beyond that they didn't answer some questions that might be important to voters so president not answering whether he disavows q one on where he stands firmly on mask wearing joe biden not answering firmly where he stands on that crucial question of expanding the supreme court if anything it might be the cove in $1000.00 pandemic michael i'd like to point out that the president said that the country is rounding the corner and right now in the country it's approaching 8000000 infections and 220000 deaths 220000 biting continues to lead in the polls how is that affecting the campaign strategies.

all michael tell you just quickly joe biden's team is very cautious about those polls you're referencing because one they're not entirely indicative of how people are already casting their ballots or what they will do come november 3rd and also because we could see another political earthquake in these few days still remaining ahead of the election now president trying to team strategy here is to get him out onto the road for a big campaign events are really pounding the pavement they believe he performs well there and he really feels galvanized on that in those rallies and he's having to georgia now where it is a much tighter race than expected for republicans so we're going to see the president nationally trying to close that gap. in washington many many thanks. in formula one vietnam's 1st grand prix will have to wait the race has been officially called off because the virus organizers were hoping to stage the event next month but say the continuing uncertainty makes it impossible all tickets will be refunded.

starts nov 6th to w. . this is the news coming up today a head of state who prefers living away from his. time asking about you know long kong spends a lot of his time in germany now protesters are asking why and demanding reform of the monarchy. and going hungry in the world's 2nd most populous country we'll look at the impact of family tradition on children in india and what can be done to stop it. welcome to news isha glad you could join us thailand's of the monarchy is facing

calls for change from thousands protesting on the streets of the country in particular focus is the current king did a long gone. germany have raised questions not just among his people but also in the german parliament has mall. the protest movement in thailand is picking up momentum protestors are calling for constitutional change and want to reform thailand's powerful monarchy people want to really really go to the roots of grievances they want. changes. and they will do you know and these protestors out mary and not easy and windy look to do that they see these team composition as. i think paris is. thailand's king along corn has

a strong influence on most aspects of thai society and has tried to consolidate his power he is known and often criticized for his lavish lifestyle. but instead of ruling from his royal residence in bangkok. the king prefers to spend his time fountains of kilometers away in germany. this hotel in the bavarian resort town is where he normally stays for long stretches of time his presence in southern germany has been a tabloid sensation but it has also drawn strong criticism from thai activists including jr. who fled thailand and lives in europe since 2010. the thai people are getting more angry because he is not here to answer to at least. stop into winning you know what he is here you think you know creations and

continue to hope to say influence she has organized the series of protests across germany to raise awareness and push for change in thailand like shining slogans against the king on his favorite hotel the unpleasant things the king shouldn't be acting as head of state from a foreign country germany's government appears to agree. as we have made it clear that politics concerning thailand is not to be done from german soil. on top of that there are many bizarre reports about what is happening there. and this just in we would always oppose having guests in our country who run their state affairs from here. but the german government hasn't announced any specific measures jr president sent a letter to the german chancellor and other leaders to urge the government to act

the king has now returned to thailand for the 1st time in almost 6 months and is expected to stay for a few weeks protesters have vowed to continue demonstrating despite a crackdown things are not getting easier for king longhorn 'd. and joining me now is poverty in charge of all associate professor of the center for southeast asian studies at kyoto university and himself living in exile in japan praveen welcome why do you think the king of thailand spend so much time in germany. well i guess there's a number of reasons as i heard you know no one no one not quite sure i think the 1st one is for the medical reason that you need to consult with regular doctor in germany so when i get this is about his personal lifestyle i think he's a kind of a king who you know have some sort of if them truth. be happy or a correct good at least in bangkok he would be put to much under the spotlight

popular local media so being away from home especially in germany you know he can be away from the thai press and he can't be here you know as you wish at the heap of blissfully baria because it's not a big like cosmopolitan in many way it can be a way you know from from the last. rites haven't we were 1st talking about at the head of a moment that is very revered by thais but now this monarchy has suddenly become one of the 42 points of protests in thailand our stuff happened. well i guess that when people think about king ramattan the current king. you can't help but have had to compare him with his father though much must be real. and exactly because of the opposite collectivistic up to king which the p.b.s.

one having earned a kind of moral authority whereas you know the current one having you know lacked. such you know quality so people who see this read between the 2 and on top of that we talk about him staying long term in germany i think a lot of people felt that the king is not responsible the king has left the people and attending especially during this time of difficulty you know window when the well and good in thailand had to go through cope with nike and so because of these . you know come by that sort of push the way the people who come on the street to protest against the king. you want to tie dissidents who's living in exile in japan but there are many thais who are still solvent supporters of the monarchy i'm wondering how that support is with the criticisms that you have just leveled. well yes i mean the tie that type of political landscape has long been derided and

i think the political fault line has been drawn around and we're not at least in 2016 political crises. that you know witness the overthrowing of the government of passage in a while i think from that point on what type society has become so you want it either you are royalist or you are not really obviously what i said you know especially my critical standpoint we said we would not be would be rejected by the royalist but i but i understand that you know disprovable probably thought of the stream thing you know it's a look what the simply because of the younger generation you can see them coming out on the street now these younger younger generation day out quite lucky you know to be able to escape long ya propaganda under the previous regime so that's why they have no it's not a left collection octave greatness of different real thing and that's why they

become so correct that you know to come out to protect and speaking of this younger generation they're also the modern constitutional reform and that come from mr pryor chano just step down what is a connection between these 2 moms under fall of the monarchy. well you mean inseparable you know talking about the political reform in general you have to include the reform but we're not considering that the monarchy is in fact the sauce of the op the property in thailand so that's why i think at the beginning that he wouldn't touch on the government meaning that you know to push to call for regular to step down but now they move on to attack the monarchy instead because they know that talking about them or not he will also cover everything else in thai politics . right the way the protests are going and given the government response to it so far do you think the protesters demands will ultimately be accepted by the

government no i don't think so or you can see the way in which the government has handled the protests from day one that they have showed more side compromised and i'm talking about just the government for us that's why they continue to arrest callie and you could see that on wednesday night this crackdown on the protests there too not popular but it will not be also we have seen north from key west will go on to be able to negotiate with the reform in fact he has remained silent and i'm afraid decided is basically the answer to the reform we'll leave it there for the time being but thank you so much for joining us parveen chance of all funked on . despite being one of the world's largest economies at least one 3rd of india's children remain malnourished a condition that also makes it one of the top causes of mortality in the country but things could get worse as a coronavirus pandemic hits poor indians hard. she knew weighs far too

little 7 kilos at age 4 he has to be taken repeatedly to this hospital in madhya pradesh state in central india she knew is been into our walls 4th child farmworker she cannot feed her family alone right about the one that my husband is a day laborer if he can't find work then we don't have anything to eat that night right now things are especially hard. she knew is not the only one this hospital sees around 15 such cases a day many of the children have never had enough to eat. look at this little she no can barely stand up on his own he's also mentally disabled these are the effects of malnutrition and frankly this is also because there is no family planning. the villages near the hospital are very poor india has made great

strides in recent years in fighting poverty and hunger but many rural areas have been left behind one out of 6 children here is severely malnourished nationwide there are millions. every morning mother seeking help come to the village children center many of these women feel overwhelmed they've never learned what children need for their development with some food and medical care these mothers get the basics on health and nutrition. i don't think i'm good i'm a mother say the gods will fix it oh that means we have to teach them the most basic things our souls for example what food is good for children kids need decent food and education that's the only way they'll survive but the happy. through government programs and n.g.o.s india has been able to improve its position on the world hunger index from 102nd to 94th place in just

a year. but aid organizations fear the coronavirus crisis could hamper those gains. when there are fewer resources i believe specially the one level. even in the open areas for a large section of people then people don't have access to basic healthcare it is definitely going to increase the impact of malnutrition on the head of the u.n. wants to eliminate world hunger by 2030 to meet that ambitious goal india like much of the world has a long way to go. that's it for today there's more on dot com forward slash leader now with images from thailand protest on the streets have been demanding reforms to the constitution and the monarchy they're back on monday we'll see you then.

combating the pandemic. where does research stand. what are scientists learning. background information and. our corona update. 19 special next on d w. if it is for me. is for. being told it is for. beethoven is for. beethoven is for.

beethoven 20. 5th anniversary on. new infections are accelerating around the world in what appears to be the pandemics next wave but even as death rates remain lower in hotspots health officials say it's too soon to assume mortality rates won't take up alongside case counts. to follow when to search. unfold in europe with exponential increase in daily cases i've met ching but a scent that increases in daily deaths. the evolving consideration in europe raises great concern. as they look at the surging numbers one expression is uniting

many scientists are calling this time a cliffhanger moment what can the figures tell us about the best way to respond. welcome to the w.'s covert 19 special i'm jenelle that. we find ourselves in a time where each day sings to bring new sobering infection records governments everywhere are trying to push those numbers down while trying to stave off a lockdown but few have been able to avoid new restrictions we bring you with us report from france it was lunch time in the era of coronavirus the last time m.f. n e had fries she shared them with a friend who later tested positive for covert 19 and then ventured temporary testing center close to university here in surgery not far from paris but she never received her celts it was annoying because over of my friends will meeting i'd like apartments or anything to just like leave and i couldn't even go to the school to

look at them because physically when i cool so it was waiting like but we'll just stay home and do nothing but. i think you have to go through that it's not usual for test results to get lost in france but waiting for them isn't unusual recently people here often had to sit tight for several days in some cases over a week to get an appointment and the result time during which many others could have been infected france was hit is especially hard in the spring of the beginning of the covert 1000 pandemic that's why the country ramped up tests and it's now carrying out more than $1000000.00 per week like in this lab led by josh actually minutes he says the situation has improved. it will. do so given the facts that the requests were twice as hard as we had to make sure that we could technically carry out the number of tests requested since that is only the question

. we have on today this situation is currently being resourced. but directed testing is not the only solution cases are especially high in big cities like paris where the density of population is very high this hospital and point of paris was going through a hard time during the 1st wave into our divorce scored noting the covert done response here he sees another main reason for the rise in numbers and france. the french population suffered a huge trauma during the 1st wave nevertheless with another wave we're seeing a relative lax behavior in people to. devote personal responsibility is key in fighting the virus keeping a safe distance and meeting us few people as possible but since the virus is now

heavily circulating in france the government is toughening rules in paris for example bars have to close down for now we're joined now by qatar enough and she's a live data scientist at the world data lab catarina since the start of the pandemic we've been inundated with numbers and it can be hard to derive meaning from them we've seen the death toll from coronavirus worldwide past 1000000 now what does a figure like that tell us. first of all i think it tells us that we should really take this challenge seriously i mean when we're going this fight a high number and i think that a few months ago you couldn't really ask me to imagine this but to really drive meaning from that on birth and to really stand for something measures and i think it's even more important to look at countries numbers and especially countries and stupid numbers of deaths and i think it still always all these numbers these one that me really puts into

a new situation and to remain challenge and still we don't you know how the next months will turn out but why is it most important to get countries specific numbers and especially of deaths how does that help us get the most accurate picture of the impact of the pandemic. so 1st of all i think if we look at the number of infections versus the number of deaths in the herself infections obvious need to panic a lot and how much do you test and the numbers of deaths i think they are better reported in almost every country of the vault so i think they give us about the picture of what you say actually happening and how that situation really is i think however it can make sense to look at the number of infections if we think about short term measures that we want to take the number sections gives us a better picture wise and especially if we want to compare different countries across the globe i think the number of excuses i'm using but. comparisons have also figured quite prominently people would say compare fluid

deaths to a corona virus that's the way of putting these numbers into contacts how useful do you think that is as an exercise. well i think if we compare the numbers of that does come out so actually quite misleading compare 19 to the normal feeling i think that in a lot of countries we can see that the numbers that's from 99 not so high so far like france and germany austria if you have the chance to really take measures quite early in this and that make but i think here we should not be misled about another self debts but we should draw their own look at studies that analyze that infections the tendency so this is basically the rate of how many people are in fact that no matter whether you show symptoms or not really die of disease and here we can see that 19 is actually 16 times as the enemy as the moment so i think that's the best comparison 16 times as deadly as a normal flu without is

a staggering figure of course i also want to ask you about the number of unreported cases we have to assume there are a lot how much do you think they affect their understanding of the whole picture. well they definitely affect our understanding of this picture and it's really hard to assess also how many on the part he says they are specially in countries that either cannot be one to test a lot or also in poor countries that just don't have the possibility to really get with measureless of these numbers i think in this case it can be helpful to look at the total numbers of the us not only from the whole week but all over all and country and then compared to these numbers to the averages from the last years and i think this can really tell us have as the number of deaths increased have people been dying because of this from them and now i have to say katerina i worry that we lose sight of the fact that behind these numbers there are real people and real

consequences for real lives to remind our policymakers doing a good job of remembering this when they design responses to the crisis. well i want to assume that they are doing their best and i think that in many countries also for example germany and austria they have dominant why didn't drop so far i mean i think it's really hard to assess which messrs measures we should take and i really wouldn't want to be in their place so i think in many countries they are doing a rotten job so far also i'm i think that the numbers are probably the most useful tool for setting measures and force of that means so i think numbers and they don't really give us the best guidelines here and there's things that as a whole to life emotions or the feelings that we have with this pandemic numbers can also really help us to find the misinformation and also the insecurity that

it's related to this and i mean so i think that looking at the numbers and really trying to do our best setting different measures here is the best you can with which moment. numbers tell a story but you have to be listening thank you very much catherine offense of the world data lab we really appreciate your insights thank you for having me. and speaking of numbers here are the latest data off from more than 200 countries the numbers show new cases doubling in 38 nations and increasing in another 79 countries. they've stayed at the same level in 10 countries. 67 nations so seeing their new positive kovan 1000 cases decline another 8 are down by least half and 8 countries have reported no new cases for 4 weeks in a row here's the bar graph showing the statistics of the past few weeks the fight against the corona virus will be over when that whole chart turns blue so it's

going to take some time. and now it's time for your question over to our science correspondent derrick williams. dangerous is the pneumonia why not find a cure or treatment for the pneumonia instead of the virus. pneumonia is a blanket term that's generally defined as a more or less serious inflammation of tissue in your air passages and or your lungs it can be caused by a number of different pathogens both both viral and bacterial pneumonia that coben $1000.00 can cause is generally initiated by the virus and can't be treated for example with antibiotics which only kill bacteria when they're infected with source code to the cells in the small sacs in their lungs where gas exchange occurs what

are called the alveoli begin to die and clog the lungs up and that can eventually lead to what's called acute respiratory distress syndrome as the pneumonia progresses the situation can be exacerbated by the immune system causing massive inflammation which is which is supposed to help get the infection under control but which can actually make things worse so so treating or curing coronavirus pneumonia means either addressing the problem at its root which is the sars code to infection itself or somehow toning down the body's immune response to when it goes over the top. and you can post your questions to derek on our youtube channel if you'd like to keep up with the latest developments on the coronavirus to subscribe to our newsletter just log on to d.w.
