a place of worship and the scene of terror candles laid outside the not church a nice attribute for the victims killed within its walls. what happened inside is now being pieced together by forensics teams france's top counterterrorism prosecutor said this had all the hallmarks of a terrorist attack and they have detained a suspect there are people who. when he was arrested he was carrying a document in the form of a paper from the italian red cross in the name of a to newseum national born in 1909. s. a geisha is have shown that this is the perpetrator moreover the person concerned is not known in the national fingerprint database and is not known to the intelligence services. when the police stormed the church on thursday it was too late to stop the bloodshed

a church official and woman had been stabbed and killed a 3rd person died of her injuries. police found a copy of the koran and 3 large knives in the suspects bags the man is now in hospital in critical condition president was at the scene within our was calling for national unity is that the if we feel an attack to go in it's because of our values a belief in freedom to believe freely and not given to terror to quad. let me say this very clearly we will never give in the book with. me when he said oh yeah. the french president has angered many in the muslim world by refusing to condemn call tunes of the prophet muhammad. was. it's a long standing debate in front. reignited by the murder of school teacher samuel

petit earlier this month. he was beheaded after showing cartoons of muhammad in a class on free speech. and with this latest attack france has 3 more people to mourn. let's get more now with our correspondent lisa lois nice to day to you lisa i was been france i was france been reacting to what looks like an islamist attack if so be the 3rd in 2 months well people here have obviously been reacting with far and sadness now france is today this room let me remind you that waking up under lock and so the streets of nice around me are rather empty however under the new lockdown rules you can walk around within a one kilometer radius of your home some people have been coming this morning to

this place in the square in front of the cathedral to show their respect and to light a candle maybe and just say that this really was a horrendous attack and francis those people coming out saying you know we're trying to stand together in these hard times. this is a very public attack as well inside a church how how is france going to respond in terms of security for people in the country. while the government will indeed take additional measures yesterday paris puts the anti terror plan on its highest level the whole country is on the highest. immediate terror attack alerts and thousands of additional soldiers and police forces have been deployed across the country to protect so to say vulnerable locations such as places of worship or places of locations where in the past other attacks have happened because it turns out that

that might also be the case and that might be vulnerable to future attacks though the government is really rank it ramping up and hoping to be able to prevent further attacks here in france as a friend's enters the law down as you mentioned how is it going to be conducting the public commemorations that we usually expect at these times for the latest victims of this attack. well that's going to be difficult indeed as he said he could conduct of the homes for now might be that the government will plan some kind of national speech but for the killing a couple of weeks ago of the 47 year old schoolteacher someone party was killed because he had shown a cartoon of the prophet mohammed in the classroom after that the government president and i might call denies the national saying you know how much and that obviously would not be possible this time around the government on the on the contrary keep on talking about this i'm sure they're going to they might take other

measures to further protect the country and to crackdown on radical islam is in the coming weeks lisa lopes for us in nice in front of the church where the 3 killings occurred thanks very much lisa. well kohut infection rates are not only rising in france and other european countries here in germany this nation is no exception delhi infection rates europe a new high for the 3rd straight day now topping 18000 in the last 24 hours now as the government tries to curb the virus with new restrictions we look at how one hospital's intensive care unit is coping with a surge in patients with newly evolved protocols. this patient has been in a coma since sunday his condition is so bad he has to be artificially ventilated he's 48 years old and one of 19 intensive care patients at this hour in hospital

the 2nd wave of covert 19 has arrived and is different to the 1st. we have a lot of older patients in the 1st wave some young ones too but now they're almost all young which means age 15 or younger. and there's another difference to what happened in spring the hospital is treating more seriously ill patients from neighboring belgium 5 arrived last week alone the hospitals head of medicine ses belgian took too long to introduce new stricter measures against covert. belgium is an example of what happens when these decisions are made too late there isn't enough capacity so we're taking in more and more belgian patients. during the 1st wave just on the 50 patients were on ventilators at this hospital at any one time but even that placed huge demands on the whole staff. but the benefiting now from the

huge amount of experience gained. we had standardized procedures last time. i will reactivate in those standardized procedures having these standards is very beneficial even if we get more patients we can just implement them. how well the system copes with the 2nd wave also depends on status fail ability. and there are shortages already in some hospitals caused by covert 19 infections or quarantine and those on the front line of the fight against covert haven't really recovered from the 1st wave. and we're in summer even if we had vacation time we were here there was no real time off and after the 1st wave we still had to deal with normal cases and also all the paperwork that was left from the 1st wave now. there's little time to relax because the number of patients who

are seriously ill with cove it is set to rise again experience shows that 2 percent of kovi patients end up in intensive care. so there will be more i'm expecting more intensive care patients than in the 1st wave. they were just under $3000.00 then i'm afraid it's going to be more this time. here and hearkened hoping to rise to the challenge all the way through the 2nd wave of the demands on all of them will be great. let's talk about these increasing demands and now with our political correspondent thomas sparrow good morning to you thomas looking at these new infection rates and doing a little bit of math based on those numbers we just heard in our report germany is seeing upwards of 150 to 200 people a day going into intensive care for covert what kind of strain thomas is this putting on the country's health system. it is putting a very serious strain there's no doubt about that not only other general numbers

going up and up the already mentioned those 18000 cases in the last 24 hours but also the number of active cases is going up and up and that is certainly a big challenge for health authorities here in this country the general statement that we have heard time and time again from german officials is that the public health system is not overwhelmed but that the speed in which the virus is spreading and those numbers that are constantly going up could seriously put a strain on the health services in the very near future that's one element of it the other element of that are the regional health departments who are in charge basically of tracking and tracing those coronavirus cases and we heard chancellor say that 75 percent of cases here in germany are not on the traceable so many regional and local health departments are certainly overwhelmed and that is one of the main concerns that german officials have right now when it comes to the 2nd

wave of the pandemic thomas there is a growing parliamentary opposition is criticizing the effectiveness of the government's measures germany it turns out has the same were tally rate from covert as the u.s. or netherlands can you tell us something about the political pushback against the measures being put in place by the american government. there is such only a big debate in parliament we saw that for example on thursday and gave a speech before the german parliament defending that new policy the fact that in november germany will have very strict measures in place and although some such and the approval of that as necessary measures that have to be implemented there is a growing debate one element of that growing debate is the fact that many in the parliament believe that the parliament should have a bigger say when it comes to deciding where the country should move to in what direction so far most of the decisions have been made by regional leaders and the federal government another element comes from the german opposition in the german

parliament they believe that some of the measures that have been put in place and not proportion of their excessive and they will negatively affect the country in particular when it comes to businesses and to the economic development as well ok no thomas we're looking at this very close it would be getting back to you throughout the day i'm sure for now though thanks very much let's get you briefed on some of the other stories making news this hour protesters taking to the streets across poland again on thursday to demonstrate against their country's constitutional courts tightening of abortion laws in the capital worth saw demonstrators gathered outside the headquarters of state broadcaster t v p opposition groups accuse it of airing government propaganda on the issue. and the mexican state of want to hospital search teams have found the remains of 59 bodies and unmarked graves most of the dead young people according to the country's

national search commission the state has been plagued by drug cartel violence and has the highest homicide rate in mexico. the united states has reported a daily record of coronavirus cases john hopkins university said there were more than $90000.00 new infections in the last 24 hours the us is the worst affected country in the world is now nearing 9000000 cases since the pandemic began. staying in the u.s. with just days to go now until one of the most contested elections in recent u.s. history more people than ever have voted early and and president of numbers of under 30 s are turning out to cast their votes as well we're going to take a look now at some 1st time voters from both sides of the political divide. this is all about her future and now ella has just turned 18 she's old enough to have her say. the 1st time employing us for such

a crucial election. and it's really going to determine a lot about how the country's going to evolve in the next 4 years and even after that so you know it's little bit nerve wracking but i'm deathly super excited that i can take part and i can help in any way that i can traditionally young americans have been turned out to vote in huge numbers but things look different this time around one week before election day nationwide around 20 percent more under thirty's have already voted than in 2016 in the battleground state of florida that figures around 30 percent. a few blocks away emer is also waiting to vote she says older generations need to make room for young voters concerns this world is for in the future is for young people to grow up in and they won't have to deal with as much as. some doesn't care about biden at least understands that he can't

just run away from the i think climate change is destroying our there's a lot of anxiety around the future and the selection the economy jobs but analysts say one issue is particularly important the go it is disrupted their lives in a fundamental way it's not their lives the lives of their brothers and sisters you know essentially any house with school age children has been disrupted by that in a fundamental way and i think that it has in some ways drawn. for the good with the only time in their lives how important leadership is in terms of their their did it it will be. evidence suggests young voters tend to support joe biden the other donald trump but there are plenty of young trump fans too at the new york young republicans club in manhattan there is also much concern about the future a future without president trump. trump is completely reinvented what the party means for the better and that's how he broke the blue wall because he appealed to blue collar workers he appealed to people without college educations he appealed to

the working class of this country want to conserve this american ideal empowerment of the hero's journey of pulling yourself up by the bootstraps and that's what the left is is targeting and threatening today even among young voters the classical left and right political divide still dominates right and which at least a quarter of all u.s. voters under the age of 30 the higher than average turnout will have a big impact on the results. all the impact of next week's presidential election will of course be felt in many ways in countries far beyond america's borders in kenya for example president trump has reinstated a ban on u.s. foreign aid or abortion centers those cuts have led to a massive reduction in services offered by these clinics. reports from nairobi

for frieda kansi getting pregnant was a disaster she was studying at the secretarial college the bright future she was working for suddenly seemed threatened when they knew i was pregnant i had no. clue just thinking. no these. thinking that i'm alive. and these. are lucky break she was referred to the know my clinic she underwent an abortion and now feels she has control thanks to contraceptive implants. it's good it's not bad in sticking out of the whole. lot of things in a future but the clinic is under threat decisions made

a world away from here slashed its funding us president donald trump reinstated the mexico city policy restricting funding for going to his ations which provide abortions or anything related to them it made life in many towns like here in melinda on the kenyan caused more dangerous for women and girls were used to provide free for me to planning free information we had on it would provide really pride and really today because we don't get them anymore for free these are for the most because as they report when they're pregnant when they're not ready for their pregnancies so this forces some of them to deliver or for them to have a safe abortion kiffin i was younger runs the banal my clinic that helped free down the cuts forced her to cancel an outreach program helping 15000 other girls and women in rural areas that help had included cancer screenings and age i.v.

treatment she dips into our own personal finances so that what is left can keep running a priority is to protect girls and women from unsafe abortions if i don't do the i'm afraid the next liberal the next possible to do it the wrong way that close in that store and. the threat of financial punishment for having anything to do with abortions is affecting kenya's national health policies says kountry reproductive health coordinator kenneth maruti building in maine that's our own through gives it to be presidents to secure productive we have resorted to not falling off. because of fear. the choice of the u.s. president will not only decide whether kenya can follow its constitution says the man who ends up sitting in the white house could mean life or death for patients.

who wish that somebody sits on that seat somebody who. is a human being needs. that is a human be done simply because there's no information given to. these plus a little bit of that here. to help the information and they're going to be. great looked great. if you just because they will have the information to perform their life the reporter who filed the report for us joins us now from nairobi mario miller good day to you mario your report mentions the mexico city policy that restricts abortion funding from the u.s. can you tell some more about that yes so the mexico city policy was 1st put into effect form of u.s.

president ronald reagan and 984 according to the policy foreign n.g.o.s and how providers all around the world that receive u.s. development aid i'm not allowed to spend a single daughter of this on abortion related services so when donald trump became president in 2017 he not only reinstated this law he extended it so that $9000000000.00 us dollars were not available anymore to those health care providers all around the world and why did he do it what he needed at the votes of the christians it was 2016 u.s. election year and that was one of his promises so he delivered it we saw the effects it's having in one clinic that you've visited there what about more broadly what kind of effect is it having in kenya. so as i mentioned the trump administration extended this policy by cutting not only family planning funds but all kinds of funds so for example maternal and child health care was

effect of nutrition programs prevention and treatment of the to close's. sanitation program so there was a lot a huge impact actually for people on the ground and also for health care workers like a fin and her team that didn't have you know the money to to do these art reach programs to remote villages to offer those services for free so the villages they had to somehow look for own solutions and these were not always safe solutions so there was a recent study actually showing that there was an increase by 40 percent of abortion cases in countries affected by this policy and these abortions are very likely not safe ones thought that means there was also an increase of death cases you know legally abortions under very specific circumstances or legal in kenya mexico city polzeath been affecting this legal framework for abortion.

that's true abortions are legal in kenya but only if the life or the health of the mother is in danger so that's actually the specific circumstance that has to be fulfilled so that the mother can actually reach out of public hospital for example to seek help for you know safe abortion or post abortion services but what happens on the ground is of the difference so how is officials actually told us that there are cases and these are not rare cases that i woman would come to clinic to a public hospital ask for help because she underwent an unsafe abortion has complications and she eventually would die in the waiting room because doctors are not willing to treat her out of a fear that they would lose the funding for their clinic and these cases have actually increased since the extension of this policy. mario buller's thanks much for bringing us up to date on this from nairobi time now to meet

a detective with a difference is a better investigator who tracks down criminals in pakistan but the world of crime is combating isn't in the big cities of the stolen property he works to recover well it isn't cash jory but for thousands of people his work is essential here's a look at a farm laborer turned private eye. he may be a bit unsteady on his feet but his mind is still razor sharp they call him the sherlock holmes of pakistan 70 year old nosier nanda is a master at tracking he goes after cattle rustlers in his home village of customer the success rate is over 80 percent. prince tell you everything about it his size his weight how he walks you just have to be able to interpret them then there . is highly respected in his village 20 years ago the former farm laborer taught himself how to do detective work cattle masson had been getting out of hand

in customer since then he's returned hundreds of stolen cattle to their owners even the police regularly call him in to help on their cases. well the people in those skills are often a great help to us after all he's been doing it for a long time and pretty well knows all the possible suspects in the area locally to use me but i'm doing it anyway and just like in a crime novel going after thieves and cuss or can sometimes be dangerous at his angel no longer takes part in chases nevertheless some of the bad guys still seek revenge. before i help catch attack me at home and beat me up badly but that would. still that hasn't deterred this sherlock he wants to keep catching crooks and reading footprints at least as long as his own feet can carry him. well the surf is up in portugal before we go we want to show you what the tail end

of a hurricane looks like when it arrives at a world famous surf spot these are some of the biggest waves ever recorded. in northern portugal will leave you with these pictures and i'll be back at the top of the hour thanks for being with us.
