beethoven's 9th. for the more starts on t.w. . this is deja vu news live from berlin is china facing a 2nd wave of corona virus infections concern is growing after a rise in new cases many involving travelers from abroad will bring you the latest from beijing. will be probably the toughest week between this week and next week then they'll be a lot of death unfortunately a somber warning from u.s. president donald trump as the number of confirmed proto virus cases in the u.s.

tops 300000. living in itself isolation is one thing but life on lockdown with kids one of whom is a preschooler well that's something else altogether. alex forced whining reports from the confines of her home here in berlin. i'm like a local welcome to the program in china the epicenter of the krona virus outbreak authorities have been cautiously lifting some restrictions on public life that's after the daily number of new infections dropped dramatically but now new worries about a 2nd wave of cases authorities found through. the new infections in mainland china

on saturday that's compared to just 19 a day earlier travelers from abroad or involved in most cases these so-called imported cases of the virus present a worrying trend for beijing as 2 cases where patients display no symptoms but can transmit covert 1000 to others the central government is now pushing local health authorities to find and isolate a cinta natica patients let's bring in correspondent crèche in beijing fabien it's nice to see you again people around the world look at china to potentially give them clues about what might happen where they live so naturally people might be curious to know is this 2nd wave coming from students returning a broader others coming from outside or is it coming from some other internal domestic source. well i mean in china we cannot yet speak about a 2nd wave because the number of newly new infections every day are relatively low

i mean you have to consider that this is a country of 1400000000 people and yes sooner or later scientists predict there will be a 2nd wave coming and mostly because of the. relaxation of trouble restrictions because of those some to metric carious silent carious of the virus because if you want to detect all of them that basically means you have to test the whole population and not only once but several you know over the course of a certain period of time and that's impossible and of course there are many important cases so basically students from overseas who return to china but they have to go to karen team for 14 days so in theory this is a system to secure but of course nothing is 100 percent secure but as of now i mean the official data suggests that there is no 2nd wave yet well with restrictions on movement being used what are authorities doing to stop a 2nd last. yes

a general trend not only in china but you can see that in the whole east asia and that's a little bit yeah i mean basically the the countries are isolating themselves they're shutting down the borders in china you can see that in the most radical way i mean no foreign us allowed to enter even longtime. residents here they're not allowed to enter not even for transit flights and within beijing also you have street karen rules people from a book provinces who travel to the capital they have to go to karen seen at the rest of the country became relatively free back to normal and also quite safe but this system only works if you isolate the country from the outside and south korea which was known to having fled the course of the virus but without actually you know locking the country down even though even for them right now every foreigner travels from abroad for 14 days in japan it's similar and in hong kong

also no foreign us allowed to enter anymore that's basically the general trend and maybe that's also a glimpse into the future for the development in europe and also the u.s. and so sudden pressure in beijing thanks much for that. there are now more than 300000 confirmed cases of corona virus in the u.s. where than anywhere else in the world in hard hit regions like new york state and california medical supplies have started to run low the death toll already stands and over 8000 speaking to the american public on saturday president donald trump warned the coming weeks would likely see that number climb even higher this would be probably the toughest week between this week and next week and they'll be a lot of death unfortunately but a lot less death and if this wasn't done but there will be death. we're looking for an obvious focus and the hardest hit regions some of them are obvious and some
