The mass outbreak has sparked protests and heated debate about working conditions at plants. Will do anything in our power to shed light onto the darkness in the sector. And will certainly trying to keep the virus from spilling over to the general public. The outbreak at tonyas has raised fears of a super spreader event in the countrys west where germanys 1st major outbreak happened over winter the latest developments have put north rhinewestphalia as premier i mean lush out on the defensive he has now signalled hes considering a larger quarantine in the area to control the outbreak. Of the source of this can be found at this specific company but we still cannot rule out a wider lockdown. Go on the moment. The plants coal owner has promised to take full responsibility for the outbreak but confidence is dwindling and the science management whose team many blame for what has become a major crisis. And it is safe is covering the story for us hes outside one of the residences way with his has been paced and locked down hello so just tell us about the conditions for these thousands of people who are now in quarantine. Hi christine well the lockdown the quarantine here couldnt be any more strict what were seeing what youre seeing behind me is a large collective housing unit for the workers from the tourney as the tourneys factory and they are surrounded by a fence just like the houses across the street and here in this residential area just 20 minutes by car from the slaughterhouse that accounts for about 6 to 700 workers and like i said the conditions of the quarantine are very strict they have food delivered to them by truck it seems like once a day from the turn us company and right now medical workers are doing tests on all the residents are trying to knock off every name from the list that they have to test everybody who works at the factory the people who live here cant come out of this fence there is no gate has to be opened by with a screw and so its very secure here but on the other hand a lot of workers dont live in these collective Housing Units they live rather in smaller apartments theyre harder to locate. And its hard to know if theyre coming going out of the house theyre more under self quarantine. So why even i mean have authorities oh havent already is imposed a wide and sound that extends into the city. In the region the government is confident that they have they have this under control that the virus is only spreading among people who work at that factory here the term use factory so they think that its remained within the community hasnt spread to the Wider Community theyre doing these tests as you can see here to make sure that that is the case they want to know exactly how many people have the virus and if they can keep it contained within the community then they dont have to lock down the regional schools and kindergartens have been closed down here but otherwise people can go about their daily business and locals told us that the community of workers here many of whom who come from romania and bulgaria are so segregated anyway that they feel confident they havent had contact with them at the same time there is a lot of discrepancies here in where the workers actually live at 1st 30 percent of the addresses of the workers couldnt be located so theres a lot of questions that remain whether or not this virus can be contained 50 i mean this companys management tenure has been severely criticized for the way that it had all the situation what went wrong well the head of Crisis Management here in the region to put this in perspective said he had 0 faith in the company anymore after working with them he said theres absolutely no transparency on their side in the beginning they couldnt give all the addresses of their workers and the thing behind this problem is that they work with subcontractors companies from other countries who can offer cheaper wages and can make meat cheaper in germany and theres a lot of pressure on the company to keep need cheap so that involves a lot of transparency the government has said that they are banning some contract work but that is only going to come to pass in january and for the time being they want to find a solution to make sure this doesnt happen again another factor in germany right thats b.

Leaders have expressed grave concerns about chinas proposed National Security role for hong kong the 2 sides met in a Virtual Summit to try to find agreement on a trade and investment deal that europe popes will help its Companies Compete in China Cooperation on Climate Change and the Iran Nuclear Deal also on the agenda but the talks have been overshadowed by concerns of human rights in hong kong. And joining me now from brussels is steve is chief international its a Richard Walker hello richard so what was the outcome off todays meeting. Well not a huge amount came out of the meeting at all really the president s of both European Council and the European Commission to part in a press conference after those talks and they were pretty clear that the 2 sides remain very very far apart on a large number of issues and its really is exposing the tough time that europe is having in really trying to calibrate a coherent stance towards china as china gets more and more powerful more and more assertive on the world stage now the thing is that europe wants better relations with china particularly on the area of trade and it really wants to find progress on this investment deal that they were talking about today but that investment deal has been years in the making already the negotiations on that go back fully 7 years and the 2 sides had said that this would be the year where they make a breakthrough but the implication from the 2 president s today was that they remain very far apart that china still needs to make a lot of concessions and the picture on human rights is getting bleaker by the year from shin jang in chinas northwest down to hong kong in the south of the imposition of this National Security law seen by human Rights Groups as a grave threat to freedoms in hong kong so the European Union is confronted with this kind of reality that it is struggling to get what it wants from china either on relating to its interests in trade or to its values in freedom and democracy. Thats the deadliest richard walk in brussels on that story of this video summit between eagle leaders and chinese leaders thats taking place to thank you richard. The German Football League has accepted a lower price from domestic bought hostas for the rights to screen its football matches in the 1st sign of a dip in the sports t. V. Market. Sky and picked up most matches for the 4 seasons from 2021 on witts over all clubs from the bundesliga and bundesliga tubal passion 1100000000 euros a season its a slight dip compared to the previous 1160000000 for the campaign now the coronavirus and then of course expects it to have an impact on the previously growing sports t. V. Market. And next meryl from sports joins us from our on the subject hey max so there were concerns already that the bundesliga would get a no amount is this a bit of a bureau or a good result considering the circumstances well i mean it is a blow if you consider the current trend which was very much growing up with not just in football in sports as a whole there was have been a huge growth in the market and for the bundesliga specifically their previous bidding round full 4 seasons had seen an 85 percent rise in comparison to the preceding contract now weve seen a decline but on the other hand this is the 1st big broadcasting deal that has been reached after the pandemic and taking the pandemic into account and a drop of 60000000. 00 per season isnt the huge drop that might have been on the minds of some of these executives here and they have been hoping before the pandemic for a 20 percent increase that obviously didnt happen but there have been a few surprises sky of course again the broadcaster to get the bulk of the rights there but joined by design who also get a sizable chunk of the matches and thats the streaming service so another sign to come however amazon and telecom seemingly submitted no bids that was a bit of a surprise as we thought i was and might get involved but right right the d. F. L. Has 7 oaks. So max what does this mean for the bundesliga and ive a sports leagues around the world well interesting enough the c. E. O. Of the of the d. F. L. German Football League said he one doesnt really see a regular seizing happening until 2021 which is when the next brokaw still starts but not the next season i think this will affect the growth of fees weve seen in transfers and contracts for players which of shot up of the last decade and i think there have been concerns and its only in england as well broadcasters that have said you know this isnt the same product that we signed up for when theres no fans no atmosphere and so on so were going to see i think quite a lot of dropoff in sports rights in general i think its a sign of things to come the product has slightly been devalued but i do think another interesting aspect of this right around has been the uptake and streaming sites getting a chunk of much as i think will be also some we will see a lot more of in the future ok thats very interesting so just briefly bring us up to date.
