To our viewers on pbs in the United States and around the world, welcome. Angela merkel is urging caution as the country moves toward further easing of its coronavirus restrictions. Speaking after a meeting with state leaders in berlin, Angela Merkel said physical distancing rules will remain in place across the entire country. She added that infection numbers have stabilized at low levels but that there have been outbreaks where physical distancing measures were not being followed. Large events will remain banned across the entire country until at least the end of october. Merkel said that the main task is restoring germanys economic health. Here is she said. What she said. Based on the budget we agreed in cabinet, it highlights that the current economic slump is the most serious we have experienced in germany possible past history. We will need a great deal of effort to ensure that we take the right route for the benefit of our citizens. Brent what does that mean . Lets cross over to our editor. What measures is she talking about there . That was a nice way of saying that germany has come from existing on not wanting to take on new debt and now has suddenly gone to taking on more than 280 billion euros in fresh debt. That is a german record and somethining that will l have toe solved down the line as the right thing to do at the very right time. We are staying germany settle into the new corona normal. This is all in the same room with distance cap. There could potentially be a second wave. Brent that could have implications for schools. What do we know about the reopening of schools in germany . What has been decided . They all want to send children back to schools. Voices got louder in recent weeks. There is also the fallout from the measures that were taken and implemented due to corona with those infection rates. There is a great desire to move back to normal, even if that is a new post corona hotspot in germany. Brent we will be right back with you in a moment. Officials in northwestern germany have ordered the closures of schools and Childcare Centers after hundreds of workers at a Meat Processing plant tested positive for covid19 in the district. The outbreak at the plant owned by meat giant tonys has pushed regional cases far above the government threshold for emergency measures. That means further closures of public buildings could follow. This is the latest in a series of similar outbreaks that have been blamed on poor working conditions and mass housing for migrant workers. Lets pull michaela back in here. How serious is this outbreak . What did the chancellor have to say about the dangers of a second wave of the coronavirus . She did not want to go there. She asked why she concerned herself about something that is not on the agenda right now. The state premier where the slightest hotspot occurred said he expected to see this happen across the country as there is an easing of restrictions. These are workers mainly from romania and bulgaria. That raises the question of how successful germany can be in the near future and containing such flash outbreaks. This is happening across the country once again. That is the big open . As millions of germans head into holidays across the country. Brent thank you. Controller fresh up it of the coronavirus. Contact tracers are working to find the source of this new virus cost or. It is centered around a group of large families living in cramped conditions. This is the new coronavirus hotspot in the german capital. At least 70 people tested positive an entire apartment block has been placed under full quarantine. It has large families living in crowded spaces. For many, the quarantine is a shock. Not everyone is infected here, most residents are healthy. To lock them all up, not allowing them to leave this fall apartment is very difficult and almost inhumane. A doctor is allowed to leave. Under strict conditions. Police are present to make sure people are following the rules. Putting hundreds of people in quarantine is a challenge for authorities. The outbreak comes as germany loosens its lockdown restrictions. Local politicians were not expecting this. It is especially dramatic that the coronavirus spreads like wildfire. People live in cramped conditions. The other possible reason is carelessness and neglecting physical distancing. It is quite problematic that in the last few weeks, people are not exercising discipline. They are not wearing face masks or following distancing rules. People started thinking that life is now like before the coronavirus hit. The reality is shown this otherwise. Authorities are still trying to track the chain of infection. They are conducting testing in neighborhoods to stop the spread of the virus in the city of nearly 4 million. Brent here is a quick round up of developments in the coronavirus pandemic.

Indias nationalist Prime Minister is under pressure to respond aggressively. He vowed thahat the soldiers wil not die in v vain. India wants peace. But if provoked, we are capable of giving inappropriate response. For its part, china blames india. Beijing says Indian Forces violated its territory. The conflict arose in a region in the himalayas where an exact border has never been agreed. Infrastructure projects on both sides of the disputed line of control have increased attention in recent months. Now india is sending more troops to join the hundreds already stationed in the region. Both sides know the risks of a further escalation. After a phone conversation between their foreign ministers, beijing emphasized attempts to defuse the situation. China and india both expressed that they want to solve distances through dialogue to maintain the peace and stability of the border region. This makes a deescalation in the region even more urgent. This class has the attention of foreign ministers. They urged a deescalation before the conflict gets out of control. These are two large countries. I dont want to begin to think about the conflict that could happen if this results in a real military escalation. That is why we are trying at all levels to bring about deescalation. I dont think that germany needs to get involved everywhere as a mediator but we are sitting on the Security Council and we will take on the presidency in july.
