us from lame a while. let's look at some other stories making headlines around the world. now, police in the philippines say the death toll from typhoon vanco has risen to at least 26 as floodwaters recede. and the clane up gets underway. a massive storm. the 3rd in as many weeks brought some of the worst flooding in years to the capital manila and nearby provinces. at least $74.00 migrants have reportedly drowned after their boat, heading for europe capsized off the coast of libya. for 120 people were poured on board, 47 passengers had been rescued by the libyan coast guard and fisherman and brought to shore in the united states, counting of mail and provisional votes is still going on. and several days after the election was called for democrat joe biden, u.s. president, donald trump still refuses to concede. the president has continued to spread unproven allegations of voter fraud is legal. tain, has filed lawsuits in several closely 4 states in an apparent attempt to contest

his election loss in the state of georgia, where joe biden, narraway lead, says, began a recount of all presidential votes by hand. after the trump campaign called for that recount. senate minority leader, chuck schumer says the republicans, refusal to accept the election result is undermining american democracy. republicans in congress are spreading conspiracy theories, denying reality and poisoning the well of our democracy. congressional republicans don't have the evidence. they don't have the proof. they don't have anything, neither does the president, congress, congressional republicans are deliberately casting doubt on our elections for no other reason. but fear of donald trump. corona, virus, deaths and hospitalizations are accelerating at alarming rates in the u.s. with officials reporting over 100000 new infections for the 9th day in a row. some states are introducing measures such as mask wearing,

while others are saying it's not up to the government to tell people how to behave during a pandemic. this truck arrives at a hospital in texas to help in the fight against the coronavirus. but it's not full of supplies, it's empty. it will be used as a mobile morgue as the hospital struggles to deal with the number of dead from the coronavirus. tents are being built in the carpark to make extra room. still local authorities have so far refused to implement a lot. it's a similar story across the country. the u.s. has seen an explosion of cases. for the 9th day in a row, officials have reported over 100000 new infections. some governors have seen the writing on the wall and brought in restrictions like mask wearing mandates, while others say it's individuals who hold responsibility for keeping numbers down . but i'm here to tell you that your mama search. it is time we got to step up.

we've got to do our part to protect one another. no government is going to do that for you. you have to take that upon yourself. you have to take that responsibility, help one another. many are sounding the warning that hospitals are rapidly reaching capacity. and one study suggests that another 100000 americans could die from the fars in just the next 3 months. our hospitals are rapidly filling with covert agents at a very alarming rate. and in the coming weeks, we will surpass our all time record high in terms of coal that in patient hospitalization. numbers here in the state of michigan, health officials are worried. people will become complacent over the upcoming thanksgiving holiday period. they are urging people to wear masks, and quarantine before seeing family in germany is also reporting a record number of new cases with nearly 24000 infections registered in the last 24

hours, the health minister against down says restrict the restrictions to slow the spread of the virus a likely to be needed beyond november. half of all hospitals are reported to be stretched to capacity. germany was able to boost its number of intensive care beds, jaring the 1st wave. but as we've reports, trained nurses are in increasingly short supply. even michelle is an intensive care nurse. she finished her specialist training at the end of october. now she's caring for a coronavirus patient in intensive care at disability university hospital for having f.m.s. endure it. we've moved him around so that he lies in different positions and don't get bedsores. my colleagues will take some blood for a blood gas analysis, which will tell us how to adjust the ventilator. and things that the 30 year old nurse cannot yet do alone. having passed the state exam and completed 3 years of training for 2 years,

she assisted on the ward with supervision. then after 2 more training years, she became a specialist nurse for intensive care and anaesthesia. let's talk about ventilation . what to consider when ventilating which set those are there and also types of surgery in more detail. you also get a deeper insight into anesthesia, the sequence of operations. here's the job is medically technically and personally challenging. that's why nurses cannot simply start working in i.c.u. after their basic training. louisianans in is 25 and just completed her 1st year of specialist training. 8 months of it during the pandemic. together with a colleague, she cares for a seriously ill coronavirus patient. after one more year, she will be able to do this on her own with their patients who should have one on one care. and of course we try to provide it. but sometimes it doesn't work out because we don't have enough staff to do that for me. that even though the job pays

well after training german nurses earn an average of $3500.00 euros per month before tax and those doing shift work in i.c.u. receive additional bonuses. but high stress levels, big responsibilities, weekend shifts and a lack of recognition are all deterrents plucked them and off the head and have sure raising the wage could be an incentive for staying in the job and it could attract others to choose this line of work. and death. i don't think we could be paid more life considering the work we have to do for the current. and i'm glad that this is currently being discussed, more demand for cash, but i have calmed and so the coronavirus pandemic may even bring about change. that doesn't think was our point then we were just taken for granted. the issue wasn't

addressed the last few years. many people don't know what nurses have to deal with on a daily basis, especially intensive care nurses. and why not just anyone can do it at louisiana and wants to finish her specialist training despite and because of covert 19, these nurses know the coming weeks will be tough, but saying they will somehow manage well, not everyone agrees to the current measures against the coronavirus here in germany, some oppose the limited lockdown, but overall a new in for a test day map poll suggests most germans support the government's policy. 26 percent think the measures go too far. well, 54 percent say they're appropriate. 18 percent. say the measures don't go far enough. well, staying here in germany, and this is normally a time when the country's world famous christmas markets would be preparing to open for the holiday season. but most have been canceled because of the pandemic. now

welcome visitors in germany each year. the hope is that they'll be operational again, next year with the my biggest christmas wish is that the corona virus is finally brought under control. and the next year is halfway normal. again, it's a modest wish shared by many across germany and the world you're watching day to be news. don't go away. monica jones will be here out for a short break. if your business headlines, remember, you can stay up to date on our website at state of money dot com. i'll be back next hour. i'm rebecca richards, thanks for watching. why are people sourced to hard in trucks?
