i am. this is g.w. news a live from berlin a major corona virus outbreak at a german slaughterhouse raises questions about worker safety soldiers are deployed to help with mass testing at the facility after more than 1300 employees are infected also on the show scenes of violence as hundreds of people go on the rampage looting shops and attacking police the southwestern german city extra toxic . and in the u.s. president trumps campaign team predicted a huge turnout from much hyped rally in oklahoma so who is to blame for all the

empty seats. i'm claire richards and welcome to the show germany's coronavirus reproduction rate has jumped to 2.88 admits to 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 and go to slow almost 7000 employees at the plant are under quarantine most of the workers are from romania and bulgaria and to live in cramped company accommodations. with more than a 1000 confirmed cases of corona virus the outbreak at the 10 years 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. and enormous punned 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 off 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 been there 10 years company is 0 i have to service 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. were not a lot form and truly good i can only offer my complete apologies and i give my apology because we're the cause of the issue and carry full responsibility for me as a businessman and the company as a whole because on both authorities 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. this is serious it's catastrophic we all have to suffer again we don't know if

a shutdown is coming which will then affect us all it's not nice. could be that they should have started testing earlier with so many people working there don't know where. to go and. with the situation threatening to spiral out of control. have closed the factory for 14 days. well for more i'm joined in the studio by political correspondent and i knew our chats and i know this is not the 1st time that there's been a corona virus outbreak at a slaughterhouse in germany have no lessons been learned well it's intended to be the case it's not the 1st time it happened in germany to us or happen in france it happened in the us and it's often in slaughterhouses indeed that it happened so of course it sheds a light on their working conditions on the living conditions of the workers of such places and here in germany most of those workers come from. um lesser well of

countries such as romania and bulgaria for example then these those workers are actually pave the way less than german workers would be so this says a light on the whole system of the meat industry which has to be revised in light of those events and how is this outbreak break affecting and germany's coronavirus numbers as a whole well you've mentioned the reproduction rate of devices which jumped $2.00 which means when you have 100 people infected 288 people will be infected by those people and so as for the pandemic to be under control you have to have a reproduction weight of one above one means that the hospitals won't be in capacity to receive older patients to treat older patients and that's when the red line the line is crossed that's when we're in the red so the fact that we have a reproduction rate of 288 is quite worrying however such clusters have happened

before that happened a few days ago in getting them 700 people are currently a quarantine then it happened in a suburb of bellina as well where tree 100 families are being quarantined so even if we see the number jumping to 2.808 this is also due to the clusters and if those clusters are masters. then there's no need to wear it now so what kind of action can we expect to see going forward well that's going to be more testing being carried out in those regions in those clusters when it comes to to meet industry there would be for example in made a government decided that it will ban the use of sept contractors so as to avoid for cheap. cheap working force to be imported in germany in fact there would be a whole with thinking about the dire conditions of the workers and german labor minister who better actually say did not have those events that he promised he promised more controls in the meat industry and those controls will happen

immediately we won't wait until a law is passed if they would happen quite soon my much as they do so much for your reporting thank you. well staying 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 shots got 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. the army into some mines in full it's the police all in all $1000.00 police officers were injured last night vision is

that it was this and in the midst 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 and he made an on the stand using narcan gun called 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 very different for love throughout the night 40 stores were attacked. at the moment we see in shop windows were smashed and destroyed. from what we know at present 9 shops were looted always does noise in large english if they get. the next day start got residents reacted to the destruction. we've never seen this instant cut i'm completely shocked i just can't really believe it and. golly globs of this was the i found out about it through a video i just saw someone throwing stones at the shop 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 u.s. president donald trump held his 1st 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 trump 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 blocking attendees from getting access. yes well this was a supposed to have been trump's a big come back to the campaign trail instead empty seats and what appears to be an embarrassed president so tell us more i'm joined now by our reporter. peter a look on social media raises the question did trump get trolls. it looks like 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 not ration really cares about crowd sizes it appears that a 51 year old grandmother by the name of mary jo long 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 story i'm barely filled or completely empty go 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 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 talking 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 posting 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 trouble speak come back turned out to be an even bigger disappointment whereas missing 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 you know it 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 a huge following 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. well to sports now and beyond this legal football a so-called a relegation 6.0 was played out and mights and ramanna locked horns in

a battle for survival on saturday a win for the home team the men's that minds have now secured another top flight season well bred and now need a victory next weekend and other results to go their way in order to beat the drop . 2 sides that have struggled this season went head to head florian code fails braman began the match day 6 points from safety 6 points behind minds who knew a win would guarantee them another bundesliga season. after 25 minutes the hosts broke the deadlock. robin cries on has been a solid contributor for mines this season and scored his 13th goal celebrating with a tribute to the black lives matter a movement. to sweet showing plenty of fight to get the ball over the line. and minds kept pushing just 5
