Healthy its the 1st thing in there because we need to be to get over this road that this needs to be topped up rapidly you know we do it to protect. Also coming up the beat goes on in berlin the citys famous club and nightlife scene is shut down right now a victim of the pandemic but illegal raves have been popping up outdoors will take you to the party in south korea they thought they had the pandemic under control because they had hardly any new cases then they opened the clumps and they had their 1st case in a clump within the week which meant that the clumps had to be closed down again. But 1st to the u. K. Coronavirus restrictions were supposed to be eased there on saturday casinos and bowling alleys were going to open up weddings could take place again but not so fast Prime MinisterBoris Johnson now says the restrictions have to stay in place for another 2 weeks thats because of a worrying rise in new covert 1000 cases especially in Northern England heres what the Prime Minister and the Health Minister matt hancock had to say. With those numbers creeping up our assessment is that we should now squeeze that brake pedal squeeze that brake pedal in order to keep the virus under control on saturday the 1st of august you remember we had hoped to reopen in england a number of the higher risk settings that had remained closed last night the Health Secretary announced new restrictions on household contact in the northwest specifically Greater Manchester and in parts of east lancashire and West Yorkshire what weve seen is that one of the causes of this increase is households gathering together ignoring the social distancing rules so were having to bring in action and say that 2 households cannot meet indoors because that way we can help to stop the spread of the virus i know that the steps that were taking will be a real blow to many people everyone obviously whose wedding plans have been disrupted or who cannot now celebrate ied in the way that they would wish and im really really sorry about that but we simply cannot take the risk but the nature of the timing of the announcement has sparked anger among members of Britains Muslim community announced by twitter late in the evening just hours before the holiest festival in the islamic calendar. So you can you can just imagine pictured a scenario it was 9 30 in the evening last night which is christmas see you basically put the turkey in the oven you brought the presents youve got family coming around early in the morning from all of the country and 930 you read the news you see the twitter feed saying im sorry but tomorrow is cancelled. Now oldham is one of the communities that is experiencing a spike in corona virus cases and it has one of the highest rates in england right now local authorities have put strict measures in place because of the flare up opinions are mixed youre going after new ground theres no room in a word press pass. One of the getting once over Truth Movement of getting them of so ruthless that people are confused and scared all the minute all we can do is follow the guidelines on Public People and hope the government saving lives. And ive got to doctor in the hospital. The congo and say. So. Im not very happy at the moment. All right lets get some perspective from the u. K. Now we have 2 guests with us John Campbell is a medical expert hes a retired nurse and his you tube channels become an important resource for people seeking clarity about the coronavirus hes with us from carlisle and we have more 1000. 00 shine hes the chief correspondent of geo news he reports on pakistan britain as well as muslim and European Affairs hes joining us from london gentlemen its great to have you both john i want to start with you how worried about are you about these a localized outbreaks that were seeing. Yes im very worried is the onset of the virus has been declining for some time now in the u. K. But over the past week or 2 weve seen a gradual increase but the increase is not even all over the country that has particular areas where the increase is more prevalent theres more of the virus in the community and what the government is doing hes moving to try and crush these increased localized areas for example thats just being closed down for probably 3 or 4 weeks now a gradual reopening of leicester stocks on monday and now this straight to manchester area is a contiguous area this Greater Manchester yorkshire possible long kisha that have now had to be closed down unfortunately and what the government doing particularly in combination with the local directors of health is looking at the drivers of transmission and a lot of the drivers of transmission in this area is caused by families socialising together especially in multigenerational households so the office for National Statistics has shown that south asians typically im more likely to theyve been multigenerational households than the members of the population and this is particularly a problem because it means that younger people will come into contact with their parents and their grandparents and this is an issue because the older people are generally speaking the more they are at risk and also the south asian population has suffered disproportionately in terms of morbidity and mortality so its essential that we protect these vulnerable populations morteza lets come to you know because we just heard there that theres been some numbers about south asian communities we know that theres been a lot of anger in places like oldham and bradford that have large muslim communities who are now celebrating even they cant meet up with their families to celebrate i mean how big of a blow is this. Well you know actually if you get Health Minister announced that you know that is going to be to log on specially you know on the day off a muslim festival of feed it can was really a big shock and and a disappointing news for nearly a you know between 800000 blond you know 1000000 muslims who live in those areas both for good amount just to not and of us your i mean you know developed a huge buckets of asian pakistani Muslim Indian and in muslim communities who actually got like you know just about 10 hours of a phone offering prayers and huge numbers and started this sort of missions which is it so that is like you know the i mean there was so much kind of misunderstanding which was we start with a government that has been no clarity on why a group of the other gen needs all of the Health Minister to go out needed 10 oclock at night when most of the people have gone. I mean you know i mean most of you do not. Doubt but its just you know that a small percentage are opposition to jews there so that if you did a lot of confusion as soon as you just get but its not important noted that this is the 1st 2 months of it you know muslims varied all year long and they had made huge but a petition for it they were their plan means together they had celebrations for the supposed to reject media that some had actually other did left london to at least to do that it has to be the families but all of a sudden you know our belief was built on top of that that it was a very you know huge ship a lot of and given in the community as to why does that you know that is a very overwhelming feeling but in the Community Within the Issue Community ok that this is action are targeted at issues this is dog you didnt eat and this does this out i says out of you know devoted studio types that asian there to to do things and for generations lived together and done more to more activist but actually that is not the case ok john i have to bring in here because i saw you just shaking your at your head of that i mean what is your feeling as a fair to say that this it isnt even that lockdown thats targeting specifically this community thats. Absolutely not the data from the office for National Statistics to show that asians are much more likely to live in multigenerational households and that is documented by the office for National Statistics and to be fair the government has been warning for some time to further lock down measures may be necessary on local directors of health the days and weeks before have been warning that this might be necessary so to say this is completely an inspector expected is not accurate theres been the possibility of this for some time the local directors of health warned of this last tuesday for example in various parts of that particular area so it wasnt inspected but to make to make this into a racial issue over a cultural issue is indeed unfortunate we all fighting a life threatening pandemic area we have to look at the meds and we have to look at the epidemiology and i think to cloud the science with cultural issues is unfortunate but indeed cultural clouding has been a problem throughout this pandemic and i mention this quite a few times weve seen it in the United States weve seen it in iran weve seen it and afghanistan and now were seeing in the u. K. And i think its important we keep that out and stick to the signs this is about saving lives ok im going to get your reaction to that a moment 1st lets listen to what the Health Minister matt hancock had to say but unfortunately the right support of the whole area was starting to rise and not just in the more focused areas like in oldham back been. In others that bradford for instance that weve been working on so thats why we had to take action across the board ok so much as a we heard the Health Minister say this is due to a spike in infections and john said that its unfortunate that there is something he called a cultural clouding whats your reaction to that. Well in shadowman some of the talk about ill get got started giving a good example ive been covering the story and i did it i think about 7 or 8 stories and its not my newspaper the News International and june us what happened a few days ago there the public at that many of you know the doctors talking about you know public bodies started sticks and all that good as a go Public Health thing learn in collaboration that the Daily Telegraph newspaper published a bloody sensational headline it said that you know british pakistanis at the sponsible thought of 50 percent of the imported koran and guesses and then that you know the story made headlines and that you it was clear that as it biased on his upbringing go it were not from abroad then it turned out that there were on the 30 cases on the tape it is says which came from pakistan out of nearly 60000 and those on you know basis of that it was said that on pakistani the most of the original imported cases are from pakistan not when i asked Public Opinion if they had a competitive did i would any other forms of Salvation National or beautiful that matter any other nationality didnt have any so there was an element of targeting under the Public Health thing then as not expend why the said that if you look at you know since in the last 4 months of the cases of bid because i know why this the covered 19 you know log on it is a record those of happened at the beaches at the bugs i did out of places that ive been musical festival going on those are the yards which have been really really high risk of an and then i mean look did the government said why is it mr cummings what there was a whole lot scandal about how he has been picking there been dubbed the hottest as the program big news or so but then something is the Big Government is this trying to portray it it is more about what the government suspects about a certain you know communities i live the nation communities and i tell you this studio that it should hold the house or 3 or 4 generations lived together on this today that is not true you know history would remember in seventys but not anymore ok. I have to bring john back in here and john to follow up on more i mean theres been a big heat wave right now and i just want to bring in some images that we have of bournemouth also brighton and pool there were beaches during this heat wave i dont know if we have the images at the moment but these these beaches were packed with saw some pictures at least of that today so i mean are britons really in general not just the south asian communities observing distancing and mask roles less so than we would like but to talk about the the idea about asian communities being particularly at risk let me give you one particular example from black bird in darwin now the the population of the area is about 50 percent south asian theres been 114 cases in the past week in the past 2 weeks and 97 of those whoa have been asian and the reason im concerned about that is asian people have a greater morbidity when they get covered 19 disease they are more likely to be hospitalized they are more likely to go to intensive care they are more likely to develop a curate response reduce stress syndrome theyre more likely to develop sepsis and they are more likely to die now theres a lot of reasons for that and the office for National Statistics has pointed to the multigenerational households which all that its a Simple Office for National Statistics fact is no point trying to disagree without and in my view another major factor is lack of fits him indeed because dr colin skin makes fits in india more slowly and its a very important and you know modulating mode here ive been trying to get this message through for months now but it just doesnt seem to be getting through the social economic stuff seems to get in the way of the medical facts and thats the problem to many very interesting discussion where of course were going to leave it there John Campbell medical expert in Northern England were totally shocked commentator on Pakistani Affairs in london thank you both so much for your time later too. Now here in berlin coronavirus restrictions have shut down the citys notoriously wild nightlife thats got some ravers raving mad there defying authorities and theyre going underground or rather outside and are not to our viewers that this report contains flashing images. Berlins clubs is world famous but corona is threatening its existence. Clubs like this one have been empty for months. A vaccine is the only hope for many owners. Busy in it weve already seen examples of brawn showing that it really doesnt work in south korea they thought they had the pandemic under control because they had hardly any new cases then they opened the clumps and they had their 1st case in a clump within the week which meant that the clubs had to be closed down again. People are itching to dance again. The legal raves have been taking place weekly in berlins house in hyde park. Up to 5000 are thought to have attended one last saturday. Laura was one of them she wanted to remain anonymous. Just look around you at every football match there are at least 22 people on the field with substitutes youve got up to 30 or 40 people and they were very quick to allow that again. With restrictions but this categorical band ignores the needs of the party community. But receivers seem to be ignoring the threat of the coronavirus. I think the problem with a lot of people is that they cant understand why open air options are not being made available. They dont see an infection risk because there have been numerous large events such as demonstrations with no infections because. It would appear that there is little danger of infection. So i guess people say why not make it legal and if its not made legal they do it illegally. League come on just being mondays and for so. Many club owners have asked district authorities to allow open air events theyve been waiting months for a decision. For they cant be that hard to just make green Spaces Available where its possible to set up a security cordon and some portable toilets people are doing it anyway he meant of an empty front fought on the mice with one owns. What ive been i think most of us would cooperate if there were an official location thats cordoned off with a limit of say 50 or 100 people and youd have to wear a mask. But with fall and cooler weather fast approaching the window of opportunity for open air events is closing and with it possibly many of the citys beloved clubs. Now the European Union will not provide grants to 6 polish towns that have declared themselves l g ideology free zones or have adopted family rights resolutions its a rare financial sanctioned by the e. U. And one that has been condemned by the polish government and public fully aaliyahs has been looking into this thank you for joining us what exactly is in a free zone well basically it dates back to last year when over 80 villages towns and even provinces in fact in poland declared themselves these l g b t free zones that what it is is a basically there are areas that dont provide avenues will say for members of the closed community to express themselves. For example trying to inform people about issues that affect a community or even hold pride marches for example and its important as well to note that these arent laws theyre. Resolutions and their declarations of intent but that doesnt take away from the fact that of course these are incredibly dangerous and very damaging to the q plus community and also its been condemned not just in poland by Rights Groups but of course across europe what is the e. U. Saying about the decision well the e. U. Back when these laws were or these resolutions were originally and the parliament actually condemned the move from poland and also said that they would increase monitoring of the use of e. U. Funds and of course that brings us to where we are now and its very clear what the stance has been from europe if we just actually read a tweet from the president of the e. U. Commissioners for the funder line it was very clear she said that our treaties ensure that every person in europe is free to be who they are live where they like love who they want and aim as high as they want and ill continue to push for an union of equality but if we actually read what helena di you know shes the e. U. Commissioner for equality which brings us to what this story essentially is about that grants are not being given to these 6 towns in poland she says that you values and fundamental rights must be respected by Member States and state authorities this is why 6 time twinning applications involving polish authorities that adopted l g b t f 3 zones are family rights resolutions were rejected so theyre coming out and theyre saying directly to poland look this is not ok and we are going to make sure that there are consequences and what is poland think of this losing out on money towns well i mean poland said the minister of justice there has condemned the e. U. s decision and he said that he will not allow discrimination of polish citizens and local governments by the European Union lets not forget as well the president ial campaign president did a made l g b t q plus rights you know a pretty important topic and was talking very much about ideology and he made it one of the main issues of the campaign and also the leader of. Colons governing party has said. Close rights are a threat to polish identity to our nation to its existence and the polish state so this is a big topic in poland and tell us more about the situation right now for the l g b t 2 plus community in poland well poland is one of the few countries still in the European Union where it doesnt issue or recognize same sex civil partnerships because of what i was talking about there politically its created a pretty hostile environment for members of the community and in some cases weve even seen violence and you know whats quite worrying and very scary even is to say that in poland hate speech against the. Community isnt punishable by law so its old these elements which are making it a very you know difficult place to be for members of the community davies probably fully public fully ileus with a thank you so much. The atlantic Hurricane Season this year is already breaking records as the trend toward more Severe Weather continues 9 storm systems have produced Hurricane Force winds the season after Tropical Storm was declared a hurricane on friday its the earliest date for the 9th hurricane of the season on record storms have already caused havoc across the caribbean and Atlantic Coast this year it was an early start this year for the Hurricane Season storm started forming before the official start of the season on june 1st it is the 6th year in a row that hurricanes have formed early. And we have matthew computes here with us hes an atmospheric scientist and a meteorologist at the Washington Post matthew thank you for joining us as we said this is a busy Hurricane Season so put this into context for us i mean how troubling are the numbers that weve seen so far. You know just to give you some perspective weve had 9 storms so far typically the data are not storms closer to october or so were more than 2 months ahead of schedule and its not just the number of storms this form weve used so much energy in the atlantic so far this season bigger called a security disciple an energy now typically we see about 100. 00 units of ace this time of year were at 238 percent what we normally see so the arctic is buzzing with activity and it doesnt look to shut up anytime soon all the last time we saw hurricanes come this strong and fast was 2005 when a Hurricane Katrina as we know brought devastation to the u. S. Do you think that theres any indication we could be heading for that type of storm or season again you know its impossible to predict weather are going to go one storm that goes you know all the way up to the top of scale but i do you think this season if there was to be a season this season is really proud we have so many different elements in this season bird sample watch if youre in the western Atlantic Point 6 degrees celsius above normal any have to keep in mind for every degree celsius the air temperature increases you hold 7 percent more water so that really pushes us towards stronger storms and wetter storms which is pretty concerning already it is far out of season now in addition we have a weekly nina starting to form that reduces the westerly winds in the upper atmosphere over the atlantic westerlies 2 strong going to tear apart a storm play tug of war with the storm we dont have it this year so were likely to see more storms in addition we have cooler waters of the senate which means rising air over the atlantic easier for storms to form and on top of that something towards the end of august ali connectedly couple killed and we will help push more air out all the lancets are again the stage really separate increased number of storms and with ocean captures like this more intense storms are likely it doesnt sound good math i mean why are we seeing this frequency now. Well though every probably 40 years or so 25 to 40 years you get this flurry of activity now over the past 4 years weve seen 6 category by parties in the atlantic its been a very busy period and part of the reason may be thanks to Climate Change now Climate Change wont increase the number of storms but it was a do for significantly more intense student changing window to fix the atmosphere warming waters and of course pushing these storms to turn whose motives and matthew just quickly what is it that authorities can do to prepare unfortunately not really a ton of other than making sure people know this is a threat to anyone along the Atlantic Coastline pass watch this and take it seriously and when in certain elements with Climate Change this scales are tipped towards more rapid intensification in the future which means a storm can gather strength a lot more quickly than we can predict it as getting ready and the consequences can be significant.
