Restrictions. Are you going to hope all these restrictions like the steam posed do firmly and the actual miss see in the front door because some Group Forward to them coming i would start right along this forest a pretty good thing. Whether physically it was healthy its the 1st thing isnt it because we need to get me to get over this grow that business we try to bracket you know do it to protect we. 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 clubs 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 coal 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 roles 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 eades in the way that they would wish and im really really sorry about that but we simply cannot take the risk that 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 picture the 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 say 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 your own after no room in a word press. One of the getting once over truth of the giving them of the soul roots of the people up it confused and scared at the minute all we can do is follow the guidelines on Public People and hope the government saving lives. And ive got a daughter in the hospital of. The congo and see. 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 shot 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 although over the counter those 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 nest has been closed down probably 3 or 4 weeks now a gradual reopening of leicester stocks on monday and now this straight to manchester area its a contiguous area theres 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 now 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 older men brought for that have large muslim communities who are now celebrating they cant meet up with their families to celebrate i mean how big of a blow is this. Well you know actually if you kill to minister announced that you know that is going to be logged on specially you know on the day off a muslim festival of feed it can wasnt 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 its off for good a month just to not and of us your i mean you know that up to huge pockets of asian pakistani Muslim Indian and in muslim communities who actually vote like you know just about 10 hours of a phone offering prayers and huge numbers and start of their 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 of 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 group love gone. I mean you know i mean most of you do not used to it 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 very important to note here that this is the festival which you dont muslims varied all year long and they had made huge populations for it they were good they had learned meals together they had celebrations from the supposed to reject media that some had actually other did left london to at least to do that has to be that families but all of a sudden you know a big plus would on top of that that it was a very you know huge 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 a dog or dietitians this is dog you didnt eat and this this this size is out of you know the body studer types that asian there to to do for generations lived together and then more the 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 had at that i mean what is your feeling as a fair to say that this it isnt 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 vote down measures may be necessary and local directors of health the days and weeks before have been warning that this might be necessary so to say this is complete you know 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 cadia 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 and 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 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 just listen to what the Health Minister matt hancock had to say but unfortunately the rights across the whole area was starting to rise and not just in the more focused areas like in oldham. And others that brought for differences that weve been working on so thats why we had to take action across the board ok so much as 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 give you stock to give you 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 genius what happened a few days ago there to 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 very 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 there as it biased on his upbringing or thrown off from abroad then it turned out that there were on detainee cases on the t. V. Guesses which came from pakistan out of nearly 60000 and those are all you know bases 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 bid 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 and to do Public Health england has not expend why the said that if you look at you know since in the last 4 months of the cases of it because i know what is the code 19 you know doggone it is a record those are 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 off 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 their been governed how distance of a big can these are so good but then something is the Big Government is trying to portray it is more about what the government suspects about a certain you know communities i live the nation communities and i tell you this to your diet it should hold on. 3 or 4 generations lived together on us today that is not true no history would remember in seventys but not anymore ok. I have to bring john back in here and john to follow up on more testing 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 we 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 that 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 population in that 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 cure 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 cohen skin makes fits in india more slowly and is 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 a Pakistani Affairs in london thank you both so much for your time thank you. Now here in berlin coronavirus restrictions have shut down the citys notoriously wild nightlife thats got some ravers raving mad there defying authorities in their going underground or rather outside and i know to our viewers that this report contains flashing images. Merlins club scene 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. And 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. Illegal 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 reverse 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 in this new league. Of these and for. 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 much of an empty font fought on. Sinful. 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 now what it is is a basically there are areas that dont provide avenues will say for members of the q plus community to express themselves. For example trying to inform people about issues that affect our 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 Close 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 this decision well the e. U. Back when these laws wer
