president drums campaign team predicted a huge turnout for a much hyped rally in oklahoma so who is to blame for all the empty seats. i'm claire richards and a welcome to the show here in germany a number of police officers were injured saturday night when a large number of people ran rampage through the streets of the southwestern city of cart more than 20 arrests were made after dozens of people smashed windows and engaged in looting. shattered glass ransacked shops still cut streets after saturday night's chaos hundreds of people came to this park to party when the police arrived suspecting a drugs offense the situation escalated. people threw stones and bottles and

attacked police cars several officers were injured police called to the scene described it as completely out of control. into someone's invalid's the police all in all 1000 police officers were injured last night vision is that it was designed inst one of them was hurt so badly had to be taken off duty this number could still rise as officers often report their injuries afterwards that he'd made and understand using narcan gun combs videos circulating on social media shows several groups turning violent destroying shopfronts and losing until the early hours of the morning this all into something waiting for love throughout the night 40 stores are attacked. at the moment we see in shop windows was smashed and destroyed. from what we know at present 9 shops were looted always does noise in large english if they get warm. the next day start cut residents reacted to the destruction.

we've never seen this instant gut i'm completely shocked i just can't really believe it. can it clogs up this was the i found out about it through a video i just saw someone throwing stones at the shop up here to criminal damage destroying other people's property that's not ok at all. police are currently gathering evidence from the shops destroyed overnight more than 20 people arrested during the violence and now being questioned. well d.w. reporter rebecca meyer is standing by for us in stuttgart rebecca you're in the city center where the violent clashes took place on saturday night what's it like there today. it's a completely different atmosphere here during the day from compared to the scenes that we saw circulating on social media from last night lots of people downtown going about their usual business strolling eating ice cream but under

a really unusual atmosphere because as they're strolling as they're going about their days they're passing these shops with the smashed in windows piles of glass swept up on the cars on the pavement here sections of the sidewalk sections of this of this pedestrian zone actually missing which was seen in some of the videos last night that many rocks were being thrown at vehicles and shops and police so it's almost it's a juxtaposition of of normal everything back to business as usual but obviously with people looking around and with a sense of bewilderment about what had happened last night well let's talk more about what did happen what can you tell us about the rioters and their motives. well what happened last night as far as police have said is that when they went to go investigate a potential drugs crime groups of young people who were partying in a nearby park ganged up in support of the person who was about to be searched and

went against the police then and things escalated as billings began to ask really more and more people joined and police as to meet somewhere between 40500 people taking part what we know so far about the rioters the people who were clashing with police last night is that they were primarily young. that the and as well as that there did not appear to be a political motivation behind the clashes that was something that police were very clear about today and an afternoon press conference is that they can rule out any type of political motive behind this attack they did not elaborate but the mayor elaborated further and said that alcohol was certainly at play and also that there has been a new phenomenon that's a submerged in the past couple of weeks where a lot of especially young people and especially from from this from from the young people who are partying. that they've been more vocal about advocating violence

against police and about agitating towards the police so alcohol as well as the social media almost celebrity element at play was in the violence did go on a long and also for serious damage to physical property why did it take so long for the police to get the situation under control. police were just completely overwhelmed they were facing there were about 250 officers who were deployed eventually last night but they were facing 40500 people and and they were they were being attacked in a way that police haven't been attacked especially in the city that they have not been attacked before they were just completely overrun and and pollute both police officials have said that this is an unprecedented level of violence that they were facing last night rebecca shot a minor in cars thank you. well germany's coronavirus reproduction rate has jumped

to $2.00 i missed a huge outbreak at a meat packing plant in the northwest of the country that means that one infected person is on average infecting almost 3 others a rate of less than one is needed to contain the disease more than $1300.00 workers have tested positive for corona virus at the meat processing plant in goods as low almost $7000.00 employees at the plant are under quarantine most of the workers are from romania and bulgaria and live in cramped company accommodations. with more than a 1000 confirmed cases of corona virus the outbreak at the tin yes meat processing plant has now become the biggest in germany's most populous state and with the situation worsening the military has been called in to help test plant with his all of the company's 6500 employees are now in quarantine and around hoff have been tested. here and is in this situation is very difficult because we have

employees living in 1300 different locations so this poses an enormous pandemic risk. enormous pond in the easy co. authorities say they're working around the clock to get the situation and upon troll they have complained however that the management of europe's largest meat processing plant 10 years has been making their job difficult by not providing relevant employee information the head of the crisis management team says he's lost all faith in the meat packing company. i do it with as much as i want to say clearly that the trust we have an attorney has company is 0 i have to say this clearly. that statement prompted a response from the owner of the plant he said his firm had struggled to collect the personal data of employees and contractors. you and i love

form and truly get i can only offer my complete apologies that i give my apology because we're the cause of the issue and carry full responsibility for all of me as a businessman and the company as a whole because i'm all for it he's now have the information needed to properly trace many of those infected mobile to sting units have begun visiting private residences in the region to test for further spreading many people in the local community are a nervous and frustrated with the ongoing situation. should cut us off this is serious it's catastrophic we all have to suffer again we don't know if a shutdown is coming which will benefit us all it's not nice. to. could prevent they should have started testing earlier with so many people working there don't know where. to go if. with the situation threatening to spiral out of

control authority is have closed the factory for 14 days. let's go now to some other stories making news around the world british police are now treating saturday night stabbing attack in the town of reading as a terrorist incident 3 people were killed a 25 year old man was arrested at the scene and remains in custody police say they're still looking for a motive. spain has ended its 3 month long lockdown as of sunday most of its borders with the e.u. and countries have been reopened some restrictions still remain and masks are required in shops and on public transport spain suffered one of europe's worst coronavirus outbreaks. brazil's health ministry says the death toll from the corona virus has risen to nearly 50000 the latin american nation has topped 1000000 confirmed cases and experts say it could overtake the u.s.

as the world's worst hit country president has been downplaying social distancing calling it a job killing measure. well u.s. president donald trump held his 1st a reelection campaign rally and 3 months in tulsa oklahoma on saturday the indoor events went ahead despite concerns that it might spark a fresh coronavirus outbreak trumbull was in a defiant mood but the much hyped event was marred by low turnout something trump said was down to media coverage of covert 19 and protesters go walking attendees from getting access. yes well this was a supposed to have been trumps a big comeback to the campaign trail instead empty seats and what appears to be an embarrassed president to tell us more i'm joined now by our reporter. peter a look on social media raises the question it did trump that trolls. it looks like it you know it turns out that a lot of these nearly 1000000 people who signed up for the event never really

intended to show in the 1st place instead they were really out to stick it to trump whom you know we learned afterward knock aeration really cares about crowd sizes it appears that a 51 year old grandmother by the name of mary jo law had a little something to do with it when she last week posted this message on tech talk it's 2 free tickets per cell phone number because when you register you have to give them your cell phone number they send you a code you put the code in and your tickets are reserved for you so i recommend all of those of us that want to see this 90000 seat on a jury and barely filled or completely empty don't reserve tickets now and leave them standing there alone on the stage what do you say. right so you know tick tocks a platform that is better known for dancing teenagers unemployable activist this is radio kind of seems have changed out or at least brought the 2 together it's been viewed more than 700000 times including by these 2 talk is that we're seeing right here. who all signed up for the event and use their platform to help spread the

message and get others to do the same the idea then spread to twitter where thousands of followers to pose in pictures of their tickets to the event a couple with you know talking in cheek excuses about why they wouldn't be able to attend after all and you know that appears to be at least part of the story as to why trying to speak come back turned out to be an even bigger disappointment whereas we're seeing calls to action across various social media but can we really say that this is the reason why attendance was so much lower than expected no i had to be fair it does seem unlikely after all there was no cap on the amount of tickets available. it was kind of a matter of 1st come 1st serve. so that's probably not the real excuse for the arena not being completely full but what this does tell us is that trump is facing a much tougher crowd then he did in 2016 in part because there's this new crop of you know incredibly tech savvy teenagers and young voters who understand social media so much better than trump does and who really proved himself incredibly adept

at using social media to mobilize politically out of breath taking rate we saw earlier this month when the black lives matter protests started sweeping us. we saw fans of k. pop music. many of whom have like huge followings on social media rallying on twitter to drown out anti black lives matter protest they also essentially crashed a police app that was used to collect pictures of protesters so trump is facing a tough reelection campaign on all fronts and including on his favorite strip stage which is social media all right thank you so much for your reporting thank you. you're watching d.w. news i'll be back with more news headlines at the top of the hour remember you can get more information on the day's top stories and much more on our web site dot com
