A display of military muscle pushing aside and on a concerns that had delayed the parade last month when the back of the public vote on constitutional reforms to morrow has to do with todays celebrations. Facebook c. E. O. Mark zuckerberg faces a revolt over his hands off approach to inflammatory posts post of companies called the rounds from the social Network Platform in protest. And the new highway in cairo has turned this mans dream apartment into a nightmare and how did this project ever get the green light. Im going to go 1st welcome to the Program Health officials in the german state of north rhinewestphalia are conducting mass coronavirus testing and have reimposed lock down. Measures on more than 640000 people the decision follows a major spike in virus infections at a Meat Processing plant some 1500 workers of the 10 years slaughterhouse have tested positive for covert 19 germany also faces fresh outbreaks in other cities just as the Summer Travel season gets underway waiting for a coronavirus test in. Come friday Summer Vacation begins here in north rhinewestphalia its germanys most densely populated state and a negative test could be a ticket to paradise. See you basically were here to try and save our holiday. We would really like to go to ideally with a negative task result that we can present at the border if it wanted to prove we dont have corona. The mass testing comes after a massive corona Virus Outbreak at tunis slaughterhouse where more than 1500 workers have contracted covert 19 dire Living Conditions are being blamed for the quick spread employees living here moved out just 2 weeks ago under the specific situation with the geographical spread of the locations and also the International Nature of the 10 years work force mean that this outbreak is a potentially enormous pandemic risk. Similar cluster infections have also sprung up in housing blocks and getting in in central germany clashes broke out between quarantine residents and police balance noise district has also been affected confining societys most vulnerable to crunch living space as a result the hotspots have caused the reproduction rate in germany to skyrocket to 2. 76 but because the overall number of new cases remains low public Health Officials see concern is limited but. It is in our country and if we give the chance to spread then well take this opportunity which we can see in the current outbreaks. Elsewhere in germany the slow return to normality can be deceiving with most of the country enjoying the summer weather but the lock down in law is a reminder that the corvette 19 pandemic is far from over with a bumpy ride ahead. Has been covering the lockdown and does little he gave us an update on the situation that right the building behind me is actually a Community College but school is not in session theyve turned this into a makeshift Coronavirus Testing Center the authorities announced that everybody in good to slow can get tested for free but this is the only center they provided and as you can see a massive line has formed here it starts around the corner several 100 meters and then continues down the street for another several 100 meters countless people in line cant even see the end from where im standing weve talked to several families we talked to one family who was at the beginning of the line they said they came out here at 7 in the morning and there was already several 100 people standing there they had heard the announcement that they could get tested for free so they came out here as early as possible and theyre still worried that theyre not going to get to the end of the line and as for people who are all the way at the back the question really remains is there enough capacity here to test up to 200000 people who live in this district. I mean this is a localized outbreak but its captured the whole countrys attention how are people reacting elsewhere. Well thats exactly why so many people want to get tested because several german states have basically closed their borders to vacationers from this district no Summer Vacation begins next week a lot of people in line here want to go on holiday and bavaria for example and whole stein mecklenburg West Pomerania have all said that visitors from this district are not welcome in some areas though if you provide a negative coronavirus test then you can stay at hotels for example in the area austria is also among one of the countries that has banned vacationers from. Going to slow district and Bottom Dollar districts so a lot of people standing in line here want to get their negative test so that tomorrow saturday. Next week they can go on their vacations i understand theres also a similar smaller outbreak on the way a poultry plant in the northwest of germany tell us more about the. Thats right in this house and thats northwest of here separate outbreak at a poultry plant has and 23 people have tested positive but thats only out of 50 people who were tested so that plant is going to test all of its 1100. 00 workers but this really just brings a slaughterhouse into the spotlight German Authorities have known about the dangers for a while they passed a law to ban outsourcing of labor so that they can bring this more under control have a little bit more insight into how workers are being treated there but theres other voices demanding that some action be taken now this poultry plant even though they have positive cases theyve isolated them and theyre continuing work but some people are demanding that this really comes under focus here that somebody does something about the spreading of viruses at slaughterhouses so that a situation like this can be avoided.

Russian president president Vladimir Putin says the world owes the former soviet union a debt of gratitude for its contribution to the defeat of nazi germany in world war 2 he was speaking at a Major Military parade in moscow marking 75 years since the end of the war the parade was originally scheduled for the mind may 9th but was postponed because of the covert 900 pandemic the kremlin dismissed criticism that its irresponsible to go ahead with it now saying infections in moscow are declining our correspondent is standing by for us at moscows red square where the parade took place today emily why did president putin decide to go ahead with this parade now despite. All the risk to public health. Well 1st of all this is the 75th anniversary this year is the 75th anniversary of the soviet victory in world war 2 and thats a hugely important event for russians and for Vladimir Putin as well and we saw this bombastic parade here today including foreign troops from former soviet states and from china from india we saw tanks crossing red square artillery flyovers of this really big parade. But also this big bombastic parade that im talking about house and National Importance this year as well because tomorrow a vote kicks off on constitutional amendments here in russia which could keep the blood in your putin himself in power as president for 2 more terms so until 2036 if that. Amendment if those amendments are passed so in some ways the kremlin i think with this parade is trying to create a patriotic atmosphere ahead of that vote and wouldnt think of holding such a massive event during the coronavirus of a pandemic. Well there were there were mixed feelings among the people that i spoke to here today on the one hand people say you know were in the middle of a pandemic until just recently we were supposed to be self isolating and now suddenly theres this parade in in moscow and in many cities across the country people are saying that they think that its not safe but a lot of the people i spoke to said this parade has to happened even though it was postponed because of the pandemic that they were saying that victory day is really sacred to them thats the word that many people here use after all an estimated 27000000 soviet citizens were killed during world war 2 which is known as the great patriotic war here so every family kind of has a story to tell and Vladimir Putin today also in his speech talked about the huge weight that the soviet people had to carry. Did you see any measures being taken good to show that this parade doesnt spark a new coronavirus hold schools. Well according to reports the soldiers the troops marching across red square today were under strict control they had their temperatures measures measured to ensure that they didnt have the coronavirus the veterans and the viewers in the stands watching the parade were socially distanced so there was space between them people were Wearing Masks but of course having 14000 troops marching through the center of moscow that is a huge risk but it seems that thats a risk that the kremlin is willing to take especially ahead of the all important vote which kicks off tomorrow. Been reporting from moscows red square for us thank you. Youre watching the news still to come in you a highway in cairo has turned this mans dream apartment into the night that many residents are asking how did this project ever get the green lawns. But 1st of his 6 people have been killed after a powerful earthquake in southern mexico the epicenter of the quake was located near the Pacific Coast in the state of one of the tremors knocked out power and cracked walls shift and pavements could be felt hundreds of kilometers away in mexico city. Standing on shaky ground and feeling the earth swaying beneath ones feet. The shock waves from a powerful earthquake the towns and cities across mexico to a halt. Residents flooded the streets seeking safety on shifting pavement. People often to put the sea it was very strong i had never felt such a strong earthquake only in 1905 todays earthquake felt very very strong we were so afraid she said to us and it was pretty severe and with covered 19 you think whats next. Hospitals were affected too but while medical staff and patients were evacuated those suffering from the coronavirus remained isolated inside. Yes. I felt how the bed was moving i was sleeping and then i saw how the curtains everything was moving. The quake hit at a time when mexico is a ready reeling from the coronavirus pandemic which has claimed more than 22000 lives so far latin america 2nd highest toll but the tremors effects could have been much worse mexicos president and thats that the countrys infrastructure suffered no serious damage but he warns citizens to remain cautious. Just busy. After the strong 7. 5 earthquake to see that there have been 147 aftershocks the more he is so they recommend that we remain alert and attentive in this. But while feeling the aftershocks some mexicans preferred appealing to a higher power. To the u. S. Now where a growing list of companies is said to boycott Facebook Companies say they will stop advertising on the platform in the month of july the move follows caused by high ranking politicians and Rights Groups for advertisers to use their money as leverage to force the social media giant to take tougher action and on misinformation and hate speech. More on the story and are joined by a reporter rebecca riches looked into this story Mark Zuckerberg in the crosshairs again well can you tell us what i would be talking about some pretty Big Companies that was a popular outdoor brand north face patagonia another is that just recently joined today ben and jerrys ice cream joining yet very proper Big Companies joining this growing list essentially telling enough is enough theyre rising up against facebook for continuing to allow inflammatory rhetoric and misinformation to fuel division and height particularly in the u. S. At a time when its going through such a pivotal now its comments like this one from President Trump he posted it in late may that many took to be an incitement to violence against black lives matters protest is. Its a comment that left even some of facebooks own employees sort of scared for their lives and livelihoods now that led civil Rights Groups to launch the Campaign Stop the hate for profit so in a strongly worded statement this campaign may. Used facebook of amplifying white nationalists allowing incitement to violence and turning a blind eye to voters and press suppression and that Something Else that trump has posted controversial comments about so the campaign aims to hit facebook where it hurts obviously advertising advertising makes up around about 99 percent of the companys massive revenue and with big names like north face and ben and jerrys as we were saying joining the list its likely that more companies will follow suit posers because. Theyre doing what a lot of companies sort of do in this situation throw a lot of money at the problem and hope that it goes away so they posted a new blog post they said theyre investing more than a 1000000000. 00 to support black and diverse suppliers and communities in the u. S. Now to be fair facebook also announced new features on its platform they i am that amplifying black voices and is committed to increasing representation of people of color by 30 percent in the next 5 years within the organization so obviously very positive moves but what were not saying in that blog post is a commitment to make sure that misinformation this sort of this rhetoric this incendiary and divisive content particularly that posted by donald trump as we saw is not tolerated on the platform and thats really what critics are calling for and including many of facebooks own members and employees why is reluctance to last. He said hes facing so much hate on this from both sides from all sides including several high ranking politicians whove been campaigning to break up facebook. Theres of course the argument of free speech its something that has philosophized about publicly for years saying that facebook shouldnt be the arbiter of truth but it is probably more instructive or helpful to look at facebooks average user they tend to be older more conservative than those of twitter and according to facebooks own conservative outlets make up 6 of the top 10 political media pages. In the us conservatives especially those in washington always say that their social media is biased against them so while zack about may not personally agree with trumps comments. He has actually come out to say that he doesnt agree its. He may have recognized that during a Trump Presidency its worthwhile for facebook to stay on the present side for the record as think you very much for. Fidget now group of residents of the capital cairo fighting against construction that will bring hundreds of thousands of cars just outside their front doors the government says the new highway is necessary to improve life in the crowded city and the apartments were built illegally but attorneys and neighbors say the governments in the wrong. The view is certainly unusual but its not something allah for him can enjoy the government is building a fool lane highway overpass just 50 centimeters from his balcony. Soon a 750000 cars and trucks will be whizzing past his home every day the 55 year old jokes about opening a snack bar in reality its no laughing matter. Pursued b. S. I find it depressing they didnt give us any warning they started building without informing me. Its hit me really hard i was in glimmers of. The concrete monstrosity cuts right through a residential quarter of cairo a middle class area home to dont his lawyers and Office Workers and a few small shops. They started building in september the highway is designed to connect the south of the capital with the north its a prestige project for the government but most residents had no idea it was coming they bought their apartments for up to 50000 euros in egypt thats a lot. In the soil my apartment is now under the overpass its cut off my sunlight and my air its made the apartment practically worthless and ive got 2 kids in kindergarten and Primary School soon theyll have to breathe in exhaust fumes and be exposed to constant horn honking every day that will kill them but no one seems to care about the health life or future of the children the well head how long that will help when all is they are issue for the other here. Cairo is a crowded and congested city endless traffic jams are the order of the day in the mega metropolis building projects like the new highway amend to bring relief the government says individual interests must take a back seat. But wesson so not giving up easily some may go hard is representing 150. 00 plaintiffs from the area and hes putting up a fight with a lawyer i believe its not fair and its unacceptable were going to sue the government the amount theyre offering in compensation is totally inadequate. The balcony used to be his favorite place quiet with a nice view soon he will have to seek sanctuary from the onslaught of traffic in duels.
