johnson can't afford mistakes on the way out of the locked out too many were already made on the way in when the government reacted slow and. now a recent poll has found that britons believe that their government has handled the crisis worse than other major countries so far though as charlotte potts and london here in germany the corona virus infection rate has risen above the critical value of one that means every 10 patients are infecting 11 other people on average the country's public health agency says it's too early to draw conclusions but that the infection rate needs to be closely monitored this comes after many lock down restrictions have been lifted cafes and restaurants have opened in northern germany and warm spring weather has brought more people out onto the streets and into parks . now the rise in the infection rate in germany has also coincided with several clusters of new cases in meat processing plants the outbreaks have led to the temporary closure of 2 companies employing hundreds of contract workers from

eastern europe our correspondent sent us this report from one of the affected towns in western germany. animals are no longer being slaughtered here but goods are still being transported this large meat processing plant has been shut down at least 190 workers have tested positive for the corona virus the real number of workers infected is probably higher and that's provoked a backlash especially against the working conditions where a subcontractor employs hundreds of workers from eastern europe. they take used the need of people have to work 60 hours a week and more people who have to live in rundown mold infested cramped conditions who are carted to work and back in packed buses and vans it's dangerous and that's why i am protesting the other reports of poor living conditions for these workers are nothing new but now the infection rate is rising and that affects everyone who

lives in the area the regional government relax the lockdown conditions or we could go but not in the town of khowst felt. he got out of that all the way i think that and this wave of infections this exponential wave of infections will hit cosell yeah that's been getting lots of calls from local people and we are really scared and a local politician wants to show us why she takes us to a nearby village just a 15 minute drive away where many eastern european workers are housed. in that look they write all the names here the. names on the door are all romanian this man says he lives here he won't tell us his name but he says he comes from soup you a city in transylvania he's not wearing a face mask and tells us the house has been placed under quarantine. you've got until. the politician calls police to tell them that other people from the house

are moving freely around the village and going shopping. local officials turned up half an hour later than up and also very much like i assumed that these residential buildings had already been tested and that they put people who have been infected and people who had contact to them under quarantine under the border is over that it really doesn't look like that they've only just started testing and that's very late this is from about 3 good local people who are deeply concerned more than ever. let's have a look at the latest developments in the coronavirus pandemic u.s. vice president mike pence is isolating after his spokeswoman tested positive for corona virus pens has so far tested negative health officials in the u.s. state of new york are now investigating dozens of cases of an inflammatory illness

calling for transparent face masks to be more readily available they also want them to be used more widely and in the community they say it's not enough simply for diff people to wear them when you go to net 100 people. in the current situation with the coronavirus there are sales people for example at the post office or at the pharmacy who have masks the problem is excess ability when it comes to deaf people that's why we need more people to wear transparent masks. for the hearing impaired mosques can add to the anxiety of living through a pandemic and as they look set to become the new normal at least for a while many in the deaf community hope they will become more inclusive. now for a brief look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world there have been renewed anti-government protests in iraq just days after the appointment of a new prime minister. demonstrations against rampant government corruption 1st erupted
