5:07 am
badly affected by all this the northeast is seeing another big spike in covert cases new york city's already set to close schools in several neighborhoods getting hard hit by the virus the new restrictions come into force choose day. number one concern has always been schools i would not send my child to a school in a hot spot cluster that is not interested we're going to close the schools in those areas tomorrow. u.s. as a whole remains the world's top spot for the pandemic on friday new infections hit a 2 month record with over $54000.00 positive cases that's the highest daily tally since the middle of august when the country recorded just over 64000 cases we heard from people in new york about the decision now to close schools today. was to the articles because there is no great optically it was my son's school which is actually to want to toy with our allowed to be allowed to. do the students of the
5:08 am
day that there will be putting it down because. it's somewhat discouraging at the scene trying or. whatever whatever needs to be done they're doing it you know that the school would look like it was originally a curse upon a killer mopey looks into why new york's again facing a viral spike. the rate of infection in new york city is rising once again the highest numbers we've seen sense back in may so who is to blame for this well new york state governor andrew cuomo says the buck stops with local officials . conseco over effective enforcement for every jurisdiction for local jurisdiction cannot or will perform effective enforcement of violating entities notify the states and to close all business activity in hotspots where local governments come to comply now cuomo says words have led to allegations of hypocrisy he's
5:09 am
criticizing local officials for not doing what he has recommended well back earlier during the pandemic he was criticized for not doing what federal officials recommended i don't believe that any federal administration could be serious about physical lock downs of states or parts of states across this country i don't believe it's legal i think it would be economic chaos the decision around nursing home with governor cuomo decreeing that co that 19 patients should be sent there at a pretty big impact many have not forgotten what they see is a pretty big misjudgment that cost many lives there is something disgusting that democrats are doing that joe biden does and that you do which is you try to blame the people who lost their lives on your political enemies was it a mistake when your brother implemented a policy that nursing homes had to accept coded positive patients and endangered
5:10 am
the lives of my brother one of them 1st i want to say the state was there was a learning cuomo has also faced criticism for allowing black lives matter protests to take place despite talking up the risks are talking about reopening in one week in new york city. and now we're seeing these methods maersk. yeah that rings over the past several minutes that could in fact exacerbate the covert 9 team spirit now despite his policy differences with the white house new york state governor andrew cuomo sent his best wishes to president donald trump when he got coded 19 that is unlike new york city's mayor bill de blasio who saw it as an opportunity to take the president to task i think it's another reminder of why what some of us have been saying is right wear masks practice social distancing and take it seriously this president obviously didn't do it and paid the price party lines power and
5:11 am
position mean nothing to the coronavirus everyone is at risk now new york governor andrew cuomo admits the leaders of the state have made some pretty big mistakes along the way however he still wants everyone to believe that he is the guy to lead us through the crisis well andrew cuomo is a leading figure within the democratic party the democratic party's strategy. during this 2020 a lecture and has in to run again in his trumpet and to run against coded new york has had the worst record in his handling. of it in the country i mean new york has had the worst. case death rate statistics and the worst sprayed the incidence of cope in the country because much of the media in the united states is entirely in cahoots with the democratic party cuomo hasn't
5:12 am
suffered any adverse consequences on that so yes it's hypocritical but he can get away with it he's going to blame him to go with trump and pose as the hero who somehow save new york at the same time in the media and watch and allow him to get away with it. the violence rages on between as opposed to on in armenia with continued. heavy fighting over the disputed nagorno-karabakh enclave the region's internationally recognized as part of a but run by ethnic armenians here is some of those recent images from the battlefield released by both countries armenian forces released a video of an assyrian tank being destroyed while these areas presented footage of a village quote liberated from occupation and also military equipment saying that they were seizing overseas during as enemy trophies he goes down off brings us up to speed from an armenian town on the border. where about 20 minutes away
5:13 am
from the go in a cab back this disputed region where clashes have continued and fierce clashes it's difficult to paint an objective picture as to what the situation is like on the frontlines and that's because both sides armenia and azerbaijan the give contradicting statements for instance just yesterday i mean announced what they called a tactical retreat saying that they had to abandon several positions but they only did so in order to avoid mass casualties and to deal more damage to the enemy later in the day they had said that well their plan worked that they managed to kill some 200 as they are by journey soldiers and the rest of the army fled i swear by john in turn denied all of that saying that they have complete dominance on the battlefield and that they managed to capture several villages so you see how difficult it is to tell what exactly is going on there this comes to the tune of the armenian prime minister calling on all conscripts on all army conscripts who
5:14 am
were discharged in the past year and therefore legally aren't part of the mobilization to volunteer have a listen yes or so i want to appeal to our guys discharged from military service over the past year come to the center recruitment office and enlist in the army this is a life and death struggle that's as the capital of nagorno-karabakh the city of panic it's where we've lived for the past for the past. week or so it is being relentlessly ruthlessly in fact sources on the ground are telling me that the scale of the bombings of the azerbaijani bombings there have been absolutely unprecedented this is why our crew and other international journalists unfortunately had to leave that beautiful town simply because it is too unsafe there we are hoping to get back that as soon as the situation more or less stabilizes and so that's as the as there by johnny president called on turkey to get involved. in this conflict not militarily but at least to be part of the solution this comes amid mounting reports that turkey is already neck deep in this
5:15 am
conflict helping there by johnnie forces on the ground and also there is an international consensus and some evidence that will turkey is helping as a by john hiatt and recruit syrian militants to fight on their side this is something that both turkey and as there are by john vehemently deny and now the united states state department and the foreign ministry is of russia and france released a joint statement calling on both sides to mediately cease fire and promising to intensify diplomatic pressure on both sides thereby john. mania and death already has of the unrecognised nagorno karabakh so i will be standing by and hopefully bring you move from the ground soon. yeah other side of this things are also heating up in the territories near the disputed area the government says the 2nd largest city in the country came under fire monday action pictures now of what's left of a market that was shelled according to his various authorities big time as
5:16 am
a reason cited the conflict so doing all they can to chip in reporting on that next is well for tally of from the capital back. in the wake of the recent advances or there was an army in the continent. people both in who are in the region of the consulate it and want to make their own contribution. for their progress in all of this hold it throughout the capital there are several collection points by this initiative of the people they want something from they are all the rage is a sense just from riot trucks just today was sent about 150 block boxes and i think a big portion of the salary we must be spent this way actually here to stand our support to frontline troops we want to assure our soldiers there we are always with them. if statement even should that be expressed regret due to the people for
5:17 am
this well in the same time they said that people military personnel leave well equipped and provide it was all neat and in order to prevent any kind of misuse and irrational or new thought the even set up temporary hotline where people can get in touch with the officers in the missile defense and then they will help them to reduce tribute the assistance to the destination final destination that of the soldier or national army. as the shooting continues dozens of civilians have also lost their lives on both sides infrastructure in a go in a car or a box been severely damaged as a result of the fighting many humanitarian organizations are alarmed by the escalation of violence and the casualties mounting among civilians we spoke to the red cross which has locals have found themselves in an impossible situation and they are terrified. it's having a terrible impact on civilians the humanitarian consequences are already apparent
5:18 am
we're on the ground across to the gym and what we are seeing and hearing is that people are absolutely terrified and being forced to make really impossible decisions on how to teach themselves and their families safe people i reports of the on the move trying to find shelter on top of statistics is all happening in the context where winter is coming people have already been dealing with dayglo bokova pandemic we have been helping hospitals in the corner kyra back on the quest we've helped with emergency medical supplies our teams in the field it's quite restricted in terms of what they can do because it develops realty of the situation because the fighting is intense in places so we haven't actually even been able to get most of those and do a full assessment as we as we would like to do but obviously people people do need support and people need help and where we can we've been stepping up and we obviously hope to do a lot more. this is our to internationalise 18 pounds mid day were of you watching thank you for it this is ahead of subsetting to outrage in

a canadian province where medical personnel were caught on camera insulting a dying patient.
5:20 am

hospital with severe stomach pains and had a history of heart problems well during her final hours joyce live streamed her treatment in hospital a warning this video is upsetting. that is. what that video calls public outcry with several protest marches in quebec including outside the hospital where joyce died the canadian prime minister addressed the issue in parliament wednesday the woman's husband claims her death was caused by negligence and racism. but i am here to ensure justice would draw is justice when my children justice for my nation i am convinced that systemic racism contaminated hospital and killed my partner truly killer fish
5:22 am
and ian's were shocked to see this video of joyce kwan's final moments what happened was the worst form of racism when someone needed help the most i think this is an example of systemic racism that is simply unacceptable in canada. a nurse in another hospital worker who heard insulting joyce in the video have since been sacked quebec authorities say her death is being investigated by the local health agency and the coroner one of her relatives says racism is a daily fact of life for indigenous people in canada. i can say that joyce's case is unfortunately not unique we're always treated differently and it doesn't depend on whether it's a public service or shop or anything else the problem is that we have systemic racism nor sphere's we want justice we want to be treated differently nobody defends us and when we try to defend ourselves we often taken for terrorists or criminals and your community is so small it's very difficult to protest this sad
5:23 am
event has given energy to the justice for joyce movement it's been much talked about rallies were organized across the whole country other ethnic groups supporters in the fight against systemic racism but not the cuban government the prime minister francois allegro refuses to recognize systemic racism saying that yes there is racism to break but it's not systemic there should be a political willingness to change the mentality of people. german chancellor angela merkel's meeting with a better russia next presidential candidates fetlar taken off later today the german government spokes person saying she'll be welcomed as a key opposition figure in belarus taken off scars but is self exile in lithuania since the contested election which sparked nationwide protests the e.u. and us are joined by the russian opposition in denouncing the result as rigged taken off sky then they arrived in berlin on monday where she took part in a solidarity rally organized by the diaspora there during the event the opposition

5:25 am
viciously violated in belarus and ballarat sions are now crying out for help so we hope that germany's role in resolving this issue is the mediator will be one of the most important angela merkel is viewed as perhaps the best face for mediation the other real option was a money with my call on the french president but he has been quite publicly outspoken in his criticism of alexander lukashenko and in his support of the opposition angela merkel's government has said they don't recognize the results of august selection however the chancellor of self has really kept her powder dry while giving her support to the opposition figures. that's worth taking. i will meet with their positions to one of square one we see brief women taking to the streets calling for a corruption free life i cannot but it mire that. well president mcallen in france on chancellor merkel here in germany were 2 of the biggest and loudest
5:26 am
