Years. 99 percent of which are totally harmless we are now in the process of. Defeating the radical left the marxists the anarchists the agitators deluded theres. The more you. Kind of mean and. The more credibility and. Also coming up tonight the pandemic forced it to shut down 4 months ago today the worlds most visited museum the louvre in paris reopened the crowds are once again admiring the mona lisa but now she is the only one in the room without a face mask. Who normally whenever it comes before that it was crazy the number of people trying to get into it i think you know you just have a few people moving around a new school house and space. Its really surprising. Our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome we begin the day at the start of what is expected to be a horrible week that is how some doctors are describing the outlook for the United States and its losing effort to contain and slow the corona virus in the 1st 5 days of this month the u. S. Reported a record high of new infections 3 times more than a quarter of a 1000000 new cases since the start of july and dont forget the 4th of july the independent state holiday was a long weekend that should have been heavy on face masks and social distancing and light on large gatherings it was not today as mayors and governors admit that they lifted restrictions. Too soon they also warned of yet another surge in new cases and hospitalizations more sick perhaps more deaths and most totally preventable if everyone works together if everyone wears a face mask in public the us president presiding over 2 large gatherings last weekend wore no face masks today new York Governor Andrew Cuomo called trump al for helping to spread the Vice President dont be a coconspirator of coping do one simple thing acknowledge to the American People they called it exists it is a major problem its going to continue until we admit it and each of us stands up to do our part. If he does not acknowledge that then he is facilitating the virus he is a new ruling the virus are more listing with this story in the United States go to our Washington Bureau chief in his holiness good evening to you the coronavirus in america it is looking like a story of 2 countries one which learned the lessons of the virus and the other which is being humbled by the virus still i want you to take a listen to what the new york governor said today the good numbers about his state and the sense that its about the rest of the u. S. Take a listen its best news a number of lives lost and were down to knowing. Its unimaginable i one time that we would be this slow. Obviously you dont when you can see 9 you dont want 87654321. But this is great great news you now have 38 states in this country with an increasing virus rate of infection. Its only getting worse its not Getting Better you look at states like texas you look at arizona you look at those curves i mean we know those curves weve seen them weve been there done that. This is a frightening situation across this country i mean its it looks like florida texas arizona california they may have to go through what new york went through just a few months ago it indeed looks like it brendan figures are really horrifying and i mean and when you talk to people here on the ground my feeling is that more and more are really aiming for leadership from the white tell us because they understand that the take donald trump kind of takes and saying you know we leave it to the governor as we leave it to the states to deal with this crisis is not working out to me i mean you just mentioned the figures 100000 americans already dying died of the virus every day 100000 more get infected we will see probably a new wave after this Holiday Weekend so leadership from this in the white house is needed. Is talk to me about public regret some mayors are now saying that they reopened. Right mayors and also governors right because well they all down played the wires they said its not so bad i mean it only kind of really kills the old and the weak and all the others all fine but now we see this is not true we see that many Young Healthy people die of the virus here in the United States and all around the world so when they take new action they kind of stop face number tour number 3 from happening that means they do not open more space is quite the opposite they close down restaurant. They may wearing a mask mandatory so we really see a shift in many big cities and many states as well as the figures are increasing that dramatically you said over the weekend the u. S. President tried to play down the virus and he focused on the cultural wars that hes using to push his Reelection Campaign you covered the election there 4 years ago do you think the trump can win again with this type of race based tactic. Its still too early to say brenda i mean what we see and Many National polls his supporters his supporters going down my impression is that he kind of focus is really only on his heart core supporters im not sure if this is enough he has to reach out to those who are still of kind in the middle and a little bit undecided and this is said of july and also in 4th of july he gave this really very divisive speech is. Kind of neglecting the fact that the United States are really in the midst of. Rethinking that heritage that more and more people are really willing to take critical take on the path and i think if he keeps electing that im not so sure if he will be able to win the white house over again. Today the u. S. Supreme court ruled that states may require their Electoral College delegates to follow the popular vote in the president ial election now the Electoral College thats important here Hillary Clinton she won the popular vote we know that donald trump he won the Electoral College and became president how significant is todays ruling with the election the president ial election now only 4 months away. You know i think i mean the electorate as i know it kind of really they have to follow the majority of the state of the place they are kind of. Lets have a look at texas for example so the majority of the texans would weld to republican then every electoral would have to follow that vote and they wouldnt be able to follow their consciousness so maybe this is a little bit of an advantage for donald trump but well its hard to say its a very complicated thing this election ill call it isnt it it is complicated is a mild understatement there in this poll in washington is always thank you a 5 day lockdown has been reimposed here in europe in northwest spain in the region following a surge in corona virus infections into the countrys 2nd local lock down after catalonia placed one of its districts under restrictions over the weekend authorities have traced this latest outbreak in gilead sia to bars that were reopened. Back under lockdown no ones getting into or out of our marina until friday except on exceptional circumstances some people werent taking any chances and as i meet everybody i will tell you we were told we might be able to leave on tuesday but were afraid of getting stuck here so we decided to leave but if theyre in the vicinity of. The popular tourist region on the northern coast of galaxia is home to around 70000. 00 residents people have been asked not to gather in groups larger than 10 and to wear masks in all Public Places including the beach. The restrictions come after a spike in coded 1000. 00 cases the Regional Health minister said the biggest outbreaks were linked to several local bars. And measures as due to stay in place until friday 2 days before Regional Elections some say such a short lockdown isnt enough. Were going to confinement for 5 days and thats because elections are coming up but will this flare up be over by then we should be taking serious measures and closing down for as long as it takes. At a National Level in the Spanish Government says it has the pandemic under control but the returns are not down and alysia is a grim reminder that the virus is never far away from resurfacing. Were Germanys NationalHealth Minister and his counterparts in these 16 german states theyve all agreed that face masks will still be worn in shots of some of the states have been pushing to end the requirement but chancellor Angela Merkel earlier made it clear that she believes that mass are indispensable in keeping corona virus infections weights look. Facemasks theyve become the must have of the season and obligatory on public transport and shops in germany since the end of april in the meantime theyve become a symbol as well as a reminder. Beyond our land of the pound our country responded to the pandemic has generally proven to be right but its not over yet. Now as the reproduction rate sits below one calls a growing in some german states to lift the rule particularly those hoping to attract tourists. German Health Minister again spawn tweeted that while he understands some peoples impatience and the desire for normality the virus is still here experts are of the same cautious opinion and have dismissed replacing masks with herd immunity. Is to say we would like to reach herd immunity and thats why were not very in face mask we whisking the people get sick they could look at see really sick and the people may die so the issue of herd immunity of course is important but we need to really understand if we are infected that we gain immunity they will prevent the 2nd infection and certainly the most important thing to reach herd immunity is eventually having a box in available in berlin the public is still divided. Lastly problem i think the masks are annoying but when you see how close everyone is to each other in the stores distance isnt being kept so i think its better with the complex im completely against repulsor your masks but i was against the rule when they implemented it when you go on the subway in berlin its 30 degrees celsius and you see how everyone sweating and i can hardly breathe but with school break in full swing scenes like these make it easy to forget that the pandemic is still ongoing thousands of german holiday makers have also headed approach now the country is waiting for their return and the hope that that vacation souvenirs dont include cave age 19. It has been almost a decade since germany ended Compulsory Military Service that decision also ended what had been almost a rite of passage for many young men in germany after School Spending a year in the army having a volunteer military its not a new idea the United States has the worlds best known volunteer military there are pros and cons to each system but recent events in germany have lawmakers asking is a volunteer military good for the Armed Services and for all of society last week germanys defense minister announced that a unit of the countrys elite k s k special forces will be disbanded it follows suspicion that members of the king s. K. Had links to or worse sympathizers of right wing extremism over the weekend germanys new commissioner for the Armed Forces Eva who said in public that ending military service was a big mistake i think it was a huge mistake the Compulsory Military Service was a polish we have to analyze this decision very critically there were already fears back then that right wing extremism would spread more in a professional army than in a conscription army. Joining me here at the big table now especially since more hes a member of the German Parliament with the conservative party the c. D. U. Hes also a member of the Intelligence Oversight Committee hes also a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army Reserves and president of the German Armed Forces reserve Association Mr since birth its good to have you back on the day you have to say you were never a supporter of in the Compulsory Military Service were you thats true in 2011 when we stopped the Compulsory Military Service i thought its not the time for that we said were in a peace period we call it we dont have these block thinking anymore about west or east and so were surrounded by friends so were going to and and i said its just too too short to look in the next 235 years you cant build up such structures and 1020 years so when we stop we have to think we conned rebuild it where it quick so i said its not the decision we should make 2011 we should look at in the future 2030 years and then we wouldnt have made that i think do you see a connection between having a volunteer army and what appears to be a rise in far right extremism within the ranks there is a connection we always had the model of citizen in uniform we so everybody had to go to the army even a man who didnt want very critic and so they brought lots of ideas and they bought an outside view in the army and so i think this is one element which was very good in the army and which made other people have a close insight to the troops and we lost that possibility do you think is there a calls effect relationship here having a volunteer army means making the army a breeding ground for extremism i think its not like this the issue is that if we have a citizen in uniform we have lots. Of people who have got a close inside in the army and we lost that instrument very good point the defense minister here in germany she does not want a return to. A conscription or Compulsory Military Service service i want you to take a listen to what she said about the elite k s k forces and about the militarys ties with Civil Society that she will mention in taking us. In this and that we call this a toxic leadership which has developed and promoted extremist tendencies and an absolute unacceptable lax approach to material and i mean mission because the constituent that is the special forces in particular require a basic trust not only of their political and military leadership but also of polman as their employer and of society as a whole is and now were hearing the defense minister there she is she wants a new type of service to be introduced in 2021 i think its called your year for germany and the description that its been published is young people who decide to do the service will receive 6 months of basic military training and then be called up for reserve service for 6 months closer to home is that is that a good idea i think thats a step that were talking since some years about a service year for the nation so you could choose going to the army or doing other things going abroad helping other countries helping older people so i think were talking about in germany right now about a service year for everybody man and woman and thats our young age for the country and i think thats a good decision giving one year Something Back to the society of the people and not just thinking about the own career but i mean youre a member of the reserves what do you hear from your fellow reservists i mean do they agree that a return to Compulsory Military Service would would be good for were the military as a whole i think the majority of dusts and if you see opinion. Calls and society more than 50 percent things going back to Compulsory Military Service is a good way but right now i think we having a change in reserve in germany in the future i think one 3rd of the army will relying on reserve i think 120000 reza versts will build one pillar of the german army in the future so be thinking how to get these reza wrists well trained in the future and i think this is what our minister announced right now is as one way to to get to get in these new new residents is more what is your impression about the presence of far right extremism in the military has it always been part of the military and were just seeing it more now or has it entered the military because the military is now a volunteer military i think we have it in the military we have some some people in the police also but this single issue is we dont have a structural problem in the army or in our police so i think we have to look very close that these people get out of army they have no place in our army no place in our police units but in the end if we have Compulsory Military Service we would have a closer inside of society in the army we in germany have an army that is controlled by the parliament and has always a huge linkage to the people to the society and i think thats important also for the soldiers to have this backing of the people its a good point to make it i have a feeling well be talking about this many more times in the future patches is what is always missed this is where we appreciate your time in your insights thank you thank you. For the worlds most visited museum the louvre in paris has reopened after being closed for nearly 4 months because of the pandemic lockdown the 1st visitors were reminded to wear masks but maintaining social distancing around.
