A Virus Outbreak here in the german capital an entire apartment block is quarantined stories of putting it down to craft Living Conditions and a growing complacent complacency about the pandemic. And as the bonus league is 2nd place club dortmund squares off against lowly minds one team appears to want the victory more than anyone else to tell you it wasnt dortmund. Im dr thomas thanks so much for joining us germanys chancellor says the trauma virus pandemic has exposed the weaknesses of the European Union and the germany will use its 6 month presidency of the block to promote solidarity and economic prosperity. Made the call she laid out for the bundestag the German Parliament her vision for the countrys e. U. Council presidency which begins july the 1st she said europes Recovery Plan will be limited in time and will involve borrowing on International Monetary money markets medical out of the pandemics lockdowns economic fallout is the biggest challenge the e. U. Has faced in its history. The pardon me had been. Painted the pandemic has also made it clear that europe is dependent on other countries when it comes to medicines and protective equipment the situation has laid bad deficits in terms of sourcing stocking and distributing medical supplies and yes it has also exacerbated differences in the economic and budgetary situations of e. U. Member countries as well as that there is also the fact that while the pandemic has affected everyone some have been more affected than others the medical and economic consequences of the crisis have deepened inequalities within the European Community the pandemic has shown us our europe is vulnerable and thats why i am saying and i really believe unity and solidarity in europe is now more important than ever. Youd have used chief Political Editor michel there following that speech for us earlier standing by at the German Parliament joins us now live today again michelle and in her address the chancellor was saying the e. U. Is facing the biggest crisis in its history what is a roadmap to get the block out of the crisis intact. Well she would like to see european leaders agree on that medium term budget even before the summer so that she can get this recovery of the e. U. On track but thats not that easy because the very solidarity that she spoke about is interpreted very differently depending on who you speak there are some countries that would like to see those worst affected countries like italy and spain be given more loans while its silly and spain also see that very differently they want no reserve ations kind of injections of cash ideally into their running bad budgets and that simply thats also the stance of uncle americal its not going to happen so theres a lot of internal bickering against the backdrop of this very very severe challenge the worst crisis since the founding of the e. U. And also outside world where the power balance is shifting so im going to america has a road map of sitting down knocking those Heads Together but also ensuring that what she sees as the hallmarks of german policy to not allow return to the previous status quo but to make the e. U. Fit for the future take issues like to digitalize ation seriously isnt forgotten over the immediate Crisis Management a pretty tall order shes europes longest serving democratically elected leader and so on paper she has the qualifications but now the talk begins as of tomorrow in a Video Conference amongst leaders michelle its a very tall order including internally inside the you she pointed to a number of forces that would be working against her goals can you force in on that. Yes was she was more than a losing towards the right wing populist movements across europe as she said that populace was simply just waiting for a political crisis to structure then abuse them then there was applause within the parliament and there mustve been some other noises as well that she picked up on from the far right. Because she said it was some feel that they were just address just now thats also something shes up against the vent defending the very democracy the rule of law within the e. U. And right wing populist to really want to see a renationalization of the e. U. And that of course was also and she criticized as well the initial reflex in this crisis of nations thinking national again which of course counters the very reason the European Union was created in the 1st place michelle in terms of Foreign Policy where does the chancellor want to see europe position itself when it comes to china and the united states. Well 1st of all she would like the e. U. To find a common position towards china and the e. U. Particularly china she didnt mention china venning but she said toward Strategic Partners well that is china she had to cancel a summit with the chinese within the e. U. Presidency or at least postpone it she said there was agreement that it would be held later and that was on an investment deal between those 2 potential superpowers thats how the e. U. Would like to develop itself a bit more towards not direction at the very least so the concern is that the European Union could become a battleground in what seems to be growing once again into an all out trade war between the u. S. And china thats a very risky position to be in and she wants all Member States on board and not simply think national how they can secure maximize the benefits out of the European Union but also instill that european thought into common foreign policies thinking something that simply isnt taking place in the European Union precaution at 19 but the e. U. Also has a legacy of made steps forward when crises struck strike michelle thanks so much for that from the German Parliament and the pandemics back in the headlines here in germany after more than 600. 00 workers at a Meat Processing plant in the northwest of the country does a positive for code it is the latest outbreak being attributed to poor working conditions and crowded housing for Migrant Workers and here in berlin an outbreak affecting more than 300 households in just one district has raised questions about a growing sense of complacency regarding the pandemic in the capital.

See salema a doctor is allowed to leave under strict Conditions Police are present to make sure people are following the rules. Putting hundreds of people in corinth seen as a challenge the balance of forces the outbreak comes as germany gradually loosens its lock down restrictions local politicians were not expecting this. Is what was almost a modest just less especially dramatic that the corona virus spreads like wildfire because people live in cramped conditions inside of their banks and Authorities Say the other possible reason for the new outbreak is callousness and neglect of physical distancing. Thats just where youre also a problem and its quite problematic that in the last few weeks people are not exercising discipline theyre not wearing face masks or following the distancing rules so people started thinking too early that life is now like before the coronavirus hit that reality or showing us otherwise because you pick i want you to take me up and germs preserve it for thora these are still trying to track the chain of infection taken the thing testing in affected neighborhoods to stop the spread of the virus in this city of nearly 4000000.
