A june about dresden that tests positive for coke at 19. I. Am Clay Richardson welcome to the show we began here in germany where the corona virus infection rate has risen above the critical value of one that means that every 10 patients are infecting 11 other people on average the countrys Public Health agency says its too early to draw conclusions but that the infection rate needs to be closely monitored this comes after many lockdown restrictions have been lifted cafes and restaurants have opened in northern germany and warm spring weather has brought more people out onto the streets and into parks. The rise in the affection rates in germany has also coincided with spikes in new cases at care homes. And some Meat Processing plants those cases in avatars have led to the closure of 2 companies employing hundreds of contract workers from Eastern Europe our correspondent sent us this report from one of the affected towns in western germany. Animals are no longer being slaughtered here but goods are still being transported this large. Has been shut down. At least 190 workers have tested positive for the corona virus the real number of workers infected is probably higher amounts provoked a backlash especially against the working conditions where a subcontractor employs hundreds of workers from Eastern Europe 60 people have to work 60 hours a week and more people who have to live in rundown mold infested cramped conditions who are carted to work and back impact buses and vans its dangerous and thats why im protesting. Reports of poor Living Conditions for these workers are nothing new but now the infection rate is rising and that affects everyone who lives locally. The regional governments relax the lockdown conditions at the beginning of the week. But not in the town of khowst for good and also has the guns that. All the workers here are affected and this wave of infections this exponential wave of infections will hit cause felt here we have been getting lots of calls from local people and theyre scared were really scared. And the local council wants to show is why she takes us to a nearby village just 15 minutes away by car where many Eastern European workers are housed. Look they write all the names here. Names on the letter boxes are all rumanian. This man ses he lives here he wont tell us his name but he says he comes from see bew a city in transylvania. Hes not wearing a mask. I mean tells us the house has been placed under quarantine. The Council Calls police to tell them that other people from the house are moving freely around the village and going shopping. Local officials turned up half an hour later. Going up and ill be going up i assume that these residential buildings had already been tested and that they put people who have been infected and people who had contact to them under quarantine because of course really doesnt look like that theyve only just started testing and thats a very late this is from about the. Local people are deeply concerned more than ever. Britain has the highest official death toll in europe just by Prime MinisterBoris Johnson is due to announce a limited relaxation of lockdown measures that have been in place across the u. K. For almost 7 weeks the country has recorded more than 31800 deaths related to cope at 19 Prime Minister johnson the contract of the virus himself and spent several days in intensive care in hospital although there is growing frustration that the Strict Lockdown rules most to stay at home orders are expected to remain in place. Well they dont use alex for as whiting joins me in the studio now alex what are we expecting to hear Boris Johnson say well lets make it clear he is walking a tightrope here between those who want the relaxation to happen quickly and those who say it is too soon and he cant act quickly so i think whatever we will see it will be slow to be ground chill and it wont be that significant now already today Boris Johnson tweeted out the. New government logo which replaces the stay at home words with stay alert and this is to a lot of criticism including from those opposition leaders who say its confusing its sending mixed messages in fact the 1st minister for scotland nicholas sturgeon has said the stay at home message will stay in scotland and in fact Northern Ireland distinct saying the same wales are also saying the same and making very clear to Boris Johnson the border of it he announces later it will be for england only and not for those of the devolved governments of the British Public clearly going to be told to stay at home whatever box were likely to see people being allowed to go out to more than once a day for exercise at the moment they can only go out once a day were likely to see gardens and is finally reopening and those people who really need to get to work to work in factories being allowed to go a bit as i say its not going to be as significant as some people have been briefing a few days ago this not going to be a big Party Happening in the u. K. Any time soon so Boris Johnson has been criticized for the response to the cove in 1000. 00 pandemic is theres going to be his chance at some sort of redemption well clearly thats what hes hoping for because in a way he cant put another foot wrong on this at the beginning he was accused of not taking as you say the fire seriously he was talking about that hed been shaking hands with people including people who had coronavirus and one of the hospitals he visited he was accused of not attending very important top government and scientific meetings missing around 5 of those and also as we know delaying the lock down of the u. K. Because its something that he really didnt said that he didnt want to do and then it became impossible for him it with he himself in a hospital in intensive care and he was forced obviously to to to look the u. K. Down this the number of deaths have risen. In fact the u. K. Now has the 2nd highest number in the whole well behind the United States but even so there are many people particularly in his own party on the right to his saying it is time to ease those restrictions but out on the streets of london today most people seemed very keen to keep those restrictions in place i think you should just be. A little bit more strict and just you know until theres a little bit more security and a bit more safe stuff and we should just ask him which is you know maybe ease looked down by just not a moment i dont think people are listening too much to we know more how can we risk it i mean theyre plenty that will send people up to my needs that means a lot to people i think that certain things which you know its caylee less likely to catch it i do is that men do is. You know youre not going to capture just passing someone casually have to be in some amount of contact with them so i think if they caught a lot of things but again we have to be. And alex what about travel from abroad will people still be able to enter the United Kingdom or this is pulled a lot of people for the past few weeks because whereas other countries have closed their borders and was not allowing people just to fly in or to to get a train into their country without going into core and teen the u. K. Has allowed that but now it looks like from june they will start to put people in quarantine for 14 days when they have arrived at ports and airports in the u. K. Or they perhaps months from may say it seems to be a little bit late to do this Boris Johnson also wanting to put in place a 5 tier Warning System over coronavirus to work out which areas in in the u. K. Or particularly in england will be the worst hit probably quite similar to what we have seen in germany over the past few days when it was announced that the the states would be able to do that so i think Boris Johnson trying to get back on top of this but we will wait to see what he announces for us waiting thank you so much for that analysis. Well now lets go to some other stories making news around the world a 25 year old german man in the southern town of a has been charged with arson and attempted murder after a series of attacks on shops and by people of turkish origin a man said he sympathizes with the socalled Islamic State and he named his hatred of turks as a motive.

Turkeys Senior Citizens have been allowed to venture outside for the 1st time in 7 weeks as the country relaxes coronavirus measures people aged 65 and over are now permitted to leave their homes for up to 4 hours a day they are considered the group of most at risk from the virus. More than 7000 people have been left homeless in the kenyan capital nairobi after the government forcibly evicted them and then bulldozed their homes Authorities Say the settlement was built illegally on government owned land but according to residents the evictions couldnt have come at a worse time i mean Economic Uncertainty caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Theyre returning home to scavenge things to sell or to help themselves build new temporary accommodation. Like this. Im scared to the government with everything that is happening around there demolishing our houses with no notice very early in the morning 5 in the morning when you are sleeping its vision that 10 years doing that then this is ok. But im sorry to say that the government is not seeing as us as human beings need to feel like good so ships on monday because. This is mostly when people were sleeping at home with their families. Well you know they came and demolished our houses and we have nowhere to go now is the market now they should tell us where to go my child is outside i have to come to hospital so i can get rent for house jobs has been lost we want to know where our rights.
