Below im terry martin good to have you with Us Health Experts in germany are warning that a new cluster of corona virus cases in the Western State of north rhinewestphalia has the potential to spread if action isnt taken the warning comes after more than 1500. 00 workers had a slaughterhouse near grouchos load tested positive for the virus so far regional leaders have resisted calls to reintroduce wider restrictions. Police medics and even the Fire Department have descended on the town of rate of even brick to high. Stem a wave of corona virus infections over 1500 employees from the chinese meat packing plant have tested positive for covert 19 many of them Foreign Workers from Eastern Europe who live and work in dire conditions local activist in a butch needer has been protesting the situation for years she takes us to a building where 13 romanian factory employees lived until recently. Was its only 10 days 14 days at most since they left this place inside a pungent smell greets us mold covers the walls many of the Eastern European meat workers live in such dismal conditions most locals were aware of the situation but said nothing in the bush neither was different even organizing protests for his mouth obviously demonstrated in front of this house in december 28th tina this house is notorious. Andre not his real name worked at the tunnies plant for 2 years for a subcontractor expecting the worst thing about it was the working hours we began it one in the afternoon and finished at 1 in the morning. You can do all one lot. Overtime work was not paid andre has since quit. After the corona Virus Outbreak at the chinese plant authorities fear the virus will spread to the rest of the citys population and maybe even beyond me im worried and it feels like were losing control of the situation we dont know what is going to happen next that its frightening how the corona virus has swept into our area were afraid theyll close everything down here. The thought of it since im its unbelievable frightening scary. Residents fear that restrictions will be reintroduced locally with shops being forced to close for a 2 week period the tourneys meat packing plant has already shut down the pandemic has exposed problems that in a bush need or has been trying to draw attention to for years but only now are authorities paying serious attention to the meat workers plate. And. Its innovative even book war that is underway i mean how confident are authorities there they contenting itself right. The mood has definitely changed today yesterday the authorities were still saying that they were confident that they get avoid a regional lockdown but this morning the district administrator said that it it now seems like a lockdown is looming so thats a change of mood here and thats because several cases a number of cases have been detected in the general population they wont say how many because theyre worried about cross county but that does mean that the virus may be spreading outside the tight knit community that is currently under lockdown suggest to recap authorities put the entire workforce of this. Slaughterhouse under strict quarantine and were hoping that the virus would stay among them a lot of attention was put on not on the condition of the people who are now sick 1500 of them at the last count but rather on whether or not this virus would spread to the general population and other some evidence that this is happening so the workers from that plant the work they plant thats been affected by they are break theyve been put under quarantine but what other measures are being taken to get this under control. Thats right the quantum for them is very Strict Police have surrounded buildings where many of them live in collective Housing Units and medic medical units are going door to door to try to test every Single Person whos under quarantine and that is quite strict as i said but there are also a lot of people under South Koreans and a lot of news slaughterhouse workers who are self quarantining within the city and thats a little bit more complicated more police have been brought in from outside this district as well as more medics we talked to some people some medics who were doing tests yesterday who said they didnt even know this region they didnt know the streets and how to get around theyve come from other places to help out here a lot of german attention has been put on this region theyve brought in translators to translate because a lot of these workers a romanian bowl garion and dont speak any german at all which complicates the situation schools are under lockdown but authorities are now worried that the system is not airtight this help break down has drawn attention to substandard conditions for workers in germanys meat packing industry what are the chances of those conditions improving after this well germany might be known for some International Viewers as having strong working standards a good collective bargaining a strong union but unions but the meat packing industry the slaughterhouse industry is definitely an exception to that a lot of attention has come to sub sub contracting which means that the Meat Industry is using companies from outside of germany in order to get cheap later labored to keep meat cheap the German Government has now said that cannot work anymore that some contracting will now be illegal for the Meat Industry but that wont come into effect until january and a lot of politicians are saying that in the meantime they need stronger regulations to prevent this from happening at another slaughterhouse in germany i mean thank you very much for bringing us up to date that was. Innovative.

Tehrans metro is not toria 3 crowd it for safety at the president make face masks are mandatory here as well as physical distancing among travelers. In a city with lots of regulations already covert 19 has added even more to the mix. But as with the other rules have adopted a rather relaxed attitude. There are signs that you should not enter without wearing a face mask and in some stations they dont let people enter without one but people dont observe this in the metro when its crowded they go in and sit next to each other. All over the capital every day life is returning to business as usual after 4 months iranians seem to have lost any fear of the virus. Almost as normal as if there were no problem at all ive seen many people who dont care anymore at the beginning they were strict but now theyre not they dont know any rules at all. We have many sick and deaf people because people dont obey the rules they dont listen they dont keep distance they even kiss each other. And covert 19 is making a comeback over the past week has reported more than 2000 new infections every day experts like to see say the country is in the midst of a 2nd wave. Bigger even bigger than the 1st but not as severe as the 1st one maybe because the. Facility is being prepared for the situation. With the disease but its. For now to irans hospitals able to cope and while the sanctions imposed by the u. S. Make it difficult to import medical equipment they have also decreased the countrys dependency on imported goods so unlike many other countries iran never ran out of protective equipment because its produced in iran still dr ali horizontal sea is concerned he fears the islamic republics International Isolation could make it difficult to get a hold of a potential vaccine. So to avoid a further spread of the disease hes contribution to a channel on instagram that informs iranians about covert 19 but as far as we have not educated enough people maybe just you know taking some more strict decisions and restrictions in some places but. That is something most people in tehran afraid of vendors are still trying to recover from the weeks of lockdown and spring which made their already bad Economic Situation even worse. Sales have plummeted. In the quarter for example checks have bounced and now they have piled up. In general its a terrible situation now you know. Its not likely to change anytime soon irans government has wanted citizens they will probably have to live with the virus for a long time. He has twice the top reporting there south korean authorities are sounding the alarm over fresh coronaVirus Outbreaks in the capital seoul they warn that if the spread of the virus isnt halted it could soon get out of control the World Health Organization says the situation in south korea underlines the need to remain vigilant even when new infection numbers are low it is a challenge for all countries and i think career with other countries demonstrate that even when you get down to very low incidence you still have to very strong public Surveillance System and you still have to have a very capable. Public Health Infrastructure you still have to have a population that is that is willing to take the necessary actions so from their perspective i would say the korea is still on track with. Disease control efforts like all countries there is there are always risks whove need to zs getting out of control. Correspondent frank smith is covering the story and joins us now from seoul frank authorities in south korea say they are now fighting a 2nd wave of the corona virus how serious is it well if we dial this back to in february and march we saw cases rises south korea was really the 1st foreign country outside of china to experience the pandemic we had upwards of 9900. 00 cases here hundreds of cases per day and then in april and may we saw those cases drop down to Single Digits per day then in june you know resurged and we had 67. 00 cases monday 48. 00 cases on sunday weve had a drop down though the last couple days just 17 on monday and 46 on tuesday with just 16 of those local infections but still if we look at the period of june certainly there has been are a resurgence here that has local Health Authorities south korea c. D. C. Concerned what exactly are authorities there doing then frank to tackle this. Well theyre increasing the quarantining that theyre doing for example of the 30 cases or sorry 46 cases that were announced today 16 of those were a russian vessel docked at busan and some 16 out of 21 crew members were infected there so at the poor south korea c.

Flu germanys flag carrier list tons is in dire straits the coronavirus fallout has brought one of the Largest Airlines in the world to the brink of bankruptcy the German Government wants to save tons it with a 9000000000 euro rescue package but not everyone is on board. If enough times as management got its way then life would be really simple germanys flag carrier would get a 9000000000 euro rescue package and survive for the time being but life is not that simple the airlines largest shareholder rejects the rescue conditions and t. L. Is maneuvering to see it voted down at lufthansa Shareholder Meeting on thursday hes especially unhappy about the proposed 20 percent governments stake in the airline the summit on monday between the countrys economy and finance ministers lufthansa c. E. O. And mr taylor yielded no agreement unions are alarmed theyre facing the prospect of over 20000. 00 job losses while theyre ready to compromise with management on matters like wage cuts it wont be at any price left hands there is entering a period of downsizing the carrier is no longer in the dax germanys blue chip index its now a midcap company. Of more on the situation at all of turns im joined by n. E. H. An expert on the b. S. Thanks for joining us it seems the German Government wants to save lives turns up at the airlines biggest shareholder is against the deal why. I think both looked at the sea on cost and all but also the biggest shareholder the city that they are quite diverse to the government getting involved with is really kind of it contradiction having a government having a say and so far it says for now dont carry on that has normally been in many other cases a recipe for disaster saying alitalia is an example so i think this is really there isnt it its the governments involvement at the price of the government for the state money that left and there really needs to. What can we expect to happen in the situation if theres no deal before love tons of Shareholder Meeting on thursday. It looks like it will be no deal before there was the idea yesterday of the same high level meeting yesterday you just mentioned in your report and apparently there was no conclusion yesterday and so its really suspenseful it will be on the federal be on the edge on thursday and it seems nobody really knows the outcome so its really like almost a crime story that its ok with whats the suspense on thursday lunchtime its starting a new one. And whats what so its really unbelievable that this is impossible to really predict what will be happening of course from time to has a plan b. And thats in seoul and see that is the only possible consequence if there is a vote the biggest challenge of mr t. V. Hes probably the size of factor against this state arrangement of state that has to be rearranged now but its really on the edge now and the question is if he and other shareholders probably would lose much of the value of this shit if of times it has to go into insolvency of the others and on the other hand most times it will be able to get rid of very expensive contracts one time with the pilots when they go into this insolvencies its really a 2 sided story here now the bailout package that skirling on the table has been criticized by observers outside of the lift some say that the deal should have forced the airline to become more the fire meddling friendly for example is this a missed opportunity. This really a political thing to say i think in general the agreement in germany just said that normally government active government involvement you need in an ally is a recipe for disaster thats wasnt something westernized in the German Government so they decided basically keep the hand out of active leadership in the eye and thats i think i reckon thats the understanding why the government unlike in france for example didnt impose very strict measurements from the government side as they really wanted to leave the out id like steal it on cost as this test has proven to be very successful before suspend think youre speaking with us was if you export and they inspect thank you. Well as countries in europe gradually emerging from coronavirus lockdowns many places are welcoming back their 1st foreign visitors in months before the pandemic berlin was one of germanys most popular tourist destinations so whats it like out there now we had a look at what. We have floating 500 feet above capital finally that is possible again the pandemics restrictions are eased borders inside here have opened but high above we only find just in inverness up from germany. The linen feels like a village you can get anywhere by bike and stand no crowds so you dont have to queue. Where actually from a small town and comparing that to the only difference is that there are more things to see here. No traffic jams no crowds not even at one of palins highlights the book gates most hotels and restaurants are welcoming guests again but many of them a business travelers and most of them germans they have to deal with coronavirus for strict which remain in place like wearing a face mask. And saying no i find it a little like so sting wearing the mask on the train it gets really hot on the main if you always have to carry it around remember to bring it up thats quite different. But otherwise german visitors seem to make the most of their trip to the capital it is the lynas who are craving something. Is feeding these. Cities and visitors from abroad are missing everything that used to be more diverse and colorful as. We continue our hunt for International Tourists at the side gallery where remain. Will still stand and we finally find one but with this story we didnt expect.
