BLITZER: In coronavirus headlines from around the world, Israel has just set a record for new coronavirus cases in one day. CNN's Oren Liebermann is in Jerusalem. Oren, tell us more.</s>OREN LIEBERMANN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Wolf, Israel is set to tighten its second general lockdown here perhaps severely so because of the surging coronavirus cases. Another record on Tuesday, according to the Ministry of Health with 6,861 new cases in a day. Far surpassing the old record set just one week earlier of about 5,500 cases. It's because of that sharp rise in cases that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called and convene the coronavirus cabinet issuing a statement saying the general lockdown needs to be tightened and quickly before the continuation of the High Holy Days to prevent the numbers from going up even further. Wolf?</s>BLITZER: Oren Liebermann, thank you. Britain also is seeing a spike, rather a dramatic spike in new cases and a return of tougher restrictions. CNN's Scott McLean is in London for us. Scott, what's the latest?</s>SCOTT MCLEAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Wolf, yesterday the Prime Minister announced strict new coronavirus restrictions, and today, the numbers show just how badly they're needed. Today, the U.K. recorded more than 6,000 new cases of the virus that's its highest single day tally since early May. The Prime Minister promised that these new rules would also come with stricter enforcement. In fact, he's even allowing police forces to call in the military to help. This second wave of the coronavirus in the U.K. comes just a month before a government wage subsidy program currently supporting millions of Brits is set to expire. But today, in Parliament, the Prime Minister rejected opposition calls to extend it. Wolf?</s>BLITZER: Scott McLean in London, thank you. Coming up, a growing concern about what winter may mean for the coronavirus pandemic. We'll be right back.
