you started with the thinking appearance i planned well as a great weekend planned for today it's easy to see all this not just dump it all of the same stuff save their names we are sick and tired of this injustice in our system to all of our system. the outrage is spreading as demonstrators confront the institutions that they say have worked against minorities for too long. writes on race and politics for various media he spoke to me earlier about the international response to george floyd's death i asked him how the events have affected him personally. i'm not agree i watched the video or watched the life being choked from floyd and i think this is the time for no compromise i think is the time no longer fit combined is the time don't want to congratulate people for turning out to these rallies and say we'll support black communities about actually

challenging racism wherever they see it in the most intimate settings at the dinner tables in the sub groups in the workplaces that go clubs wherever they find racism is to challenge racism when black people know in their the confrontational conversation that is now the work that has to be done to resolve this problem. now so congress speaking to me earlier a passenger who traveled on a special flight from germany to china has tested positive for the coronavirus a chartered flight was carrying 180 passages who received special permission to travel from the chinese authorities many are executives with german companies and the deal was brokered by the german chamber of commerce china has barred most non-citizens from entering the country to prevent the introduction of new infections. and someone who was on that flight was our correspondent mathias bellinger he joins me now from tianjin way he's in quarantine mathias hi tell us more about the person who tested

positive and what that means for you. it was 34 year old engineer from a small place in the south of germany authorities have really released quite a bit of data he entered the country without symptoms and with a body temperature of 36.3 degrees. that is what we know so far he must have tested negative in frankfurt because he was on that flight and passengers were tested before the flight so now here we haven't heard anything but let's just have a look 1st at what hour this flight was organized and how the security measures were let's have a look. i am here in frankfurt airport usually one of europe's busiest airports it's eerily empty these days

a few people however are queuing up in front of a lounge in the basement. we still have 12 hours until the parsha but we've all been samoan here for a test the virus test and of course if anybody turns out positive they can knock board the flight. we are passengers on the 1st flight to china in months next to me in the queue is the enter family christian works for a major german company in beijing. this is quite a hassle but it makes me feel safe so i kept it on the flight. the virus test is just one of many security measures to prevent the infection from being imported back into china again this is not a scheduled flight but a charter flight organized by the german chambre of commerce and it's seen as a test for many countries who are eager to get their business executives back into the country temperatures screened at the gate and we get

a test result. not just happen upon arrival the family as everybody else will have to quarantine for 2 weeks in a hotel room companies are to obtain multiple commissions from the chinese authorities for their employees and all of us had to pick up a special reside one of the consulates flight was even postponed a few days because not everybody was able to get the paperwork done in time finally we are on our way our temperature is checked several times throughout the night. upon arrival health authority officers board the flight to check the temperature again we have to fill in a questionnaire our data is registered with the health authority and we have to go for another round of testing. nose and mouth swabs for another virus test plus blood for an antibody test but they test directly from

the airfield to the hotel. after our luggage and sprayed with disinfectant we get assigned to our rooms which we will no longer be allowed to leave. so this is my home for the next 2 weeks we have to report our temperature twice a day food will be placed in front of our door several places windows separating us from the country we were finally allowed back into. a terrace want to janni fascinated us and i think to say that an assured now that you'll finally back where do you say things going from here in china well the question is at what pace can the country open up of course the economy is suffering

from the lock down as it is in many places we've seen all these measures we've been tested thrice twice for the virus and once for the i'm sorry but it's a temperature in take it and still it seems if this is confirmed if this was not a false test which is also a possibility for the false test result which is also maybe a possibility if this is called it shows that would be very hard to get things back to normal. it is a virus that seems to be spreading easily and it will take a lot of time until it's under control in enough places to make travelling a safe option cause fun and it is filling and he was on that flight from germany to china talking to us from quarantine in chanting thanks very much. here's a look at some of the latest developments in the corona virus pandemic more than
