Show is fueling fears of a creeping clampdown as china has passed to impose its new law targeting dissent. Plus a heat wave hits siberia but the frolic is misleading the higher temperatures in the Arctic Circle are also causing forest fires. As welcome to the Program Authorities in germany have ordered a new lockdown in an area in the west of the country the decision was made after a surge in corona virus cases at a meat packing plant in the state of north rhinewestphalia authorities in and around the town of head of eden burke are hoping the measures now in effect will prevent the virus from spreading further. Many 400000 people are affected by the restrictions the new outbreak is the biggest since the Company Began listing the lockdown last month. The tiny district of good to slow is back under coronavirus restrictions until the end of june residents in the western german district can only have contact with their own household just weeks after restrictions were eased schools popes cafes museums and gyms will all close again. We will now for the 1st time in germany return the whole region to the locked on the ashes that were in place a few weeks ago. Before. The decision came after more than 1500 workers attorney a slaughterhouse tested positive for 19 die a Living Conditions are being blamed for the quick spread employees living here moved out just 2 weeks ago. The specific situation with the geographical spread of the locations and also the International Nature of the tenuous workforce 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 quarantined residents and police. District has also been affected confining societys most vulnerable to cramped Living Spaces as a result of the hot spots have caused the reproduction rate in germany to skyrocket to 2. 76 but while the overall number of new cases remains low the robot cock institute for Public Health concern is limited. In our country and if we give the chance to spread the news we take this opportunity which we can see in the current outbreaks from. Elsewhere in germany the slow return to Normalcy Committee saving with most of the country enjoying the summer weather but the lock down in good to slow is a reminder that the cave in 1900 is far from over with a bumpy ride still ahead. Does this update. Now that the lockdown has been once again and now its here in the region around good to slow because of the outbreak at the tunas factory the mood here has really sunk in people tell us that theyre worried that theyre going to go have to go back into lockdown after being free to go about their business for a while and they put the blame on turn yes they said that this should have been handled better so that they didnt have to give up their freedoms and really dont know whats going to happen in the next weeks and maybe even months. Im reporting from the lockdown area of law and our Political Correspondent you know is following the story from berlin here firstly can you tell us more about what exactly this district level lockdown means for the people in that region huge well it essentially means that an entire district is under lockdown that is the fast in germany it is affecting some 360000 people people can no longer go to gyms cinemas museums galleries everything is closed again cultural events canceled people can essentially only mingle with members of their own households cant go to pubs they counted picnics obama queues outside and of course they say life is going to go back to how life was back in spring when the numbers were really high we spoke to a couple of people in the affected region of just a little lets listen. Of course this is the right course of action but its a scandal that mr turner yes would allow this rubbish to happen it could have been stopped sooner yeah. Its interesting we were slowly starting to loosen up and now were having to backtrack because of the. Lets call them circumstances its counterproductive for the whole industry but the people in charge those responsible could have handled this differently its a shame yes. Chat of. Us has made fools of us who claims to have tested a staff and told the public that only 2 workers were infected and that was not true and the whole thing with the address is also a scandal in my personal opinion i just want to stop so he could get rid of illegal and off the books workers that are you. Good. Some ask criticism from the local people. Enforce the stricter measures well this time around they cant count on the population simply it hearing to the measures i think that is the underlying message here that i mean law said the regional leader of north rhinewestphalia has already sent out to the population and he said that hundreds of Police Officers will be sent to that district to make sure that people actually do stick to the new restrictions that have been really imposed and that quarantine measures arent here to and that the testing units can actually carry out the mass testing that is required for the authorities to eventually be able to lift those its been restricted again which is Public Health agency. Press Conference Today listening to that is there a danger of a 2nd pandemic wave in germany. This is not the only local outbreak that weve seen and in the last week. Actually weve weve got about 2 or 3 places in germany where weve seen a new peak in numbers overall there has been a steady decline in infection numbers since spring when the restrictions were imposed and germany has fat pretty well with this overall strategy of giving a lot of responsibility and flexibility to the regions to deal with the outbreaks but now we have seen those mass outbreaks in 2 or 3 places and the president of the Public Health agency said that there is a risk of a 2nd wave here in germany but that he is optimistic that that can be prevented if people stick to those measures that are still in place where mosques when you travel on public transport and go shopping adhere to hygiene measures keep your distance etc but of course it is a big challenge for the authorities to reduce the numbers and have reduced numbers of Coronavirus Infections and at the same time keep a sense of urgency that the virus is still here you know how to thank you very much for this update. And even more breaking news this tennis star Novak Djokovic chasse tested positive for covert 19 news follows widespread criticism of the decision to host a tennis tournament earlier this month that which a number of high profile players contracted the virus the 1st leg of the tour which took place in serbia attracted more than 4000. 00 fans and ended with players dancing together in a nightclub. Joining us now for more on this story is became bridget from w. Sports its all a bit bizarre is what exactly was this tournament and how was juggle it involved well this was a series of exhibition of events known as the adrian 2 and you say fronted by world number one Novak Djokovic now it was in 2 legs if you have just seen their 1st in belgrade and the 2nd in croatia is a very strange to have such a sort of diverse tennis tournament spread out across these countries during a Global Pandemic and were just seeing the pictures right now thats not social distancing is it absolutely not no and. Actually came out in self there was a bit of a backlash and he said the point of this tournament was to unite people and share a message of solidarity and compassion in the area and all joking aside this message of solidarity wasnt the only thing shared of course at this tournament and now 3 players before joke of it came out having tested positive from coronavirus including Grigor Dimitrov a very big name in the tennis world and thats when they decided to cancel the final of the tournament just before the novak joke which was also tested positive maybe a bit too late for all the no war. Aims behind this aside what was the reaction initially was very poor indeed as you can imagine it was widespread criticism after those 3 players tested positive andy murray of course he came out and said that lessons had to be learned from this also australian tennis player he called the whole thing a boneheaded decisions even host this tournament. And it was warranted i mean players were hugging after their matches they were dancing and nightclubs you just mentioned earlier they also picture them playing basketball together so there was no social distancing it was ridiculous decision to host the tournament and were seeing the results of that now. Can we expect more. People to test the i would say we absolutely can i mean that some of the players are only just going to self isolation now one of the. Players actually playing basketball in the pictures that were spread on social media with Alexander Sparrow of the german tennis player and i think in the coming days especially 4000 fans at the in attendance at 21 and all these players from all these different parts of the world converging to these 2 places together were going to see a few more cases i would imagine a marriage from the sports thank you very much thank you for. Time now to have a look at some of the other developments in the coronavirus pandemic Prime MinisterBoris Johnson has unveiled a major easing of englands coronavirus lockdown saying the country has seen a decline in the number of new infections moscow is allowing restaurants gyms and kindergartens to reopen in another phase of relaxing the citys restriction the number of south africas coronavirus cases has passed 100000 the country makes up close to one 3rd of all recorded infections on the african continent and for the 1st time and 75 years well leaders will not be coming to the new york for the annual United NationsGeneral Assembly the meeting will instead be conducted virtually with mostly pretty prerecorded speeches. Hong kongs leader carrie lamb has tried to reassure residents over a controversial new security law said to be passed next week saying she will not hand picked judges to preside over cases critics are concerned the law being imposed by china will be used to target dissent and erode democracy in hong kong they say the suspension of a popular comedy show is a sign that the Political Climate is already changing. Home reports. Just going up as a nonprofit to not hold hopefully they carry them in attendance a flattering palace music played a unit is empty hope one of the host of headline the oldest satirical show in the city. Today the team is filming the final episode of the 31 Year Old Program produced by arthur x k. Hong kongs public broadcaster has always been bowed in his criticism of the turtle as top leader and now its been suspended due to allegation of insulting the police. To someone so high headliner is an indicator of hong kongs liberties if it exists abuse the authorities are tolerant enough to accept discerned within public institutions. Otherwise it makes clear how the climate has changed in my car. Its closure has intensified concerned over hong kongs remaining freedoms especially when beijing is pushing for a new security law for a city the law what and power hong kongs chief executive to designate judges to hear relevant cases state security agencies in hong kong but also exercise jurisdiction over a small number of special cases but as to how the law will criminalize the 1st and commercial where Foreign Forces know the tell has been made public so far. Nevertheless my cost him a member of chinas Top Legislature dismisses fear off speech crimes i was assured by the beijing leadership. Would be drawn in a way that is balanced so in other words if an individual would just make a comment and wont constitute an offense if they repeat the same thing in a manner that would cause others to follow. Gauging. Beliefs then its a different matter. Basically its the United States and britain. In. The way. So see how also publishes commentaries on various platforms as well the media workers will be among the 1st to fall victim to the new law. The biggest threat is that beijing can draw the line arbitrarily it will send a Chilling Effect and exacerbate censorship the press will only be able to follow the official narrative antigovernment movement. Its problematic to have a security law without democracy because there are no checks and balances to the authorities power. Where the headliner will return to the screen will be subject to a review authorized by the government but as chinas new security law looms over the city i dont see how and many others are not optimistic. Well they already if you actually did of your news still to come summer has come early in parts of siberia but while some are making the most of the unusually High Temperatures others are being forced to deal with disasters the heat wave is unleashing on the arctic. But 1st a quick look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today north korea has reinstalled huge loudspeakers designed to blast propaganda across the border into south korea the sound systems were taking down after the 2 sides signed an accord in 2018 but tensions have risen dramatically in recent weeks. The former c. E. O. Of german financial power phone wire card mark was brown has been granted bail for 5000000 euros after his arrest monday this after the company said it believed accounts thought to contain nearly 2000000000 euros probably did not exist shares have dropped more than 80 percent. Of. Germanys flag carrier loved ones or is in dire straits the coronavirus fall or has brought one of the Largest Airlines of the world in to the brink of bankruptcy the German Government wants to save lufthansa with a 9000000000 euro rescue package but not everyone is on board. The fate of germanys flagship carrier hangs in the balance it took weeks for love tons and the government to hammer out a 9000000000 euro rescue package but it could take just one man to jettison it. Is the airlines largest shareholder he wants the package voted down hes especially unhappy about the proposed 20 percent government stake in the airline a summit on monday between the countrys economy and finance ministers have tons of. Failed to yield an 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 as of tuesday lufthansa said it hadnt managed a deal with them yet but that it will continue efforts to reach one before shareholders meet on thursday the stage is set for a vote that will either seal of tons of bailed out or send hurdling towards bankruptcy proceedings. Aviation experts. German government wants to save a lot. Of cash to do that but the biggest shareholder as we heard the piece is against the deal why is that. I think the fear is the devaluation of his own investment due to this possible government involvement and theres rumor that he actually wants to take tons out to take all of the tons on the cheap himself because he is apparently about 16000000000. 00 u. S. Dollars rich his personal fortune and theres talk that he might be willing to spend maybe up to 3000000000. 00 euros on his own pocket of his own pocket to keep a low terms are running for a few months it instead of relying on the state subsidy of up to 9000000000. 00 euros by the government but that would be certain in his mind if the government out so what that will turn it safe to a government rescue of law fatah is that a valid alternative thats a very good question because nobody knows what mr tito really intends to do apparently after this high level meeting yesterday in berlin and remain unclear he was interested in hearing all this but he kind of apparently he didnt get it communicated that way hes not giving up his position since really kind of suspense before thursdays exhausting every annual general meeting and business lee no no plans in a way that we dont really know what will be happening so its quite still quite exciting in a way and also a bit scary so what can we expect to happen if there is no deal before Shareholder Meeting on thursday is there anything else on the horizon. That is it is the fear that is no prearranged deal no because that would have been probably somehow communicated enough to guess this meeting so this several possible turn outs on thursday was the easiest for everybody basically of most of the treaties would be if this is a government state park its going to be approved by theres no reason to miss a deal it about this is really not such at the moment so the several other scenario is the most level one is that most times that already told us to do that they were conferring with the government and that would kind of begin Insolvency Proceedings which might lessen or devalue the value of most shares of the assets of most sounds or not so to enable of tons of probably to get rid of many expensive contracts for outcome policing off the pilot salaries so they will be really bad for the previews and it seems that mr tito might intend to kind of give more jobs if he takes over that the proposed 22002 already has a talk about the government. Spirit aviation experts thank you.
