this is think the news live from birth in a major corona virus outbreak at a german slaughterhouse raises questions about workers' safety politicians feel the hint to more than a good thing hunger book is a plant infected 70000 people have been quarantined also on the show scenes of violence as hundreds of people go on the rampage losing shops and attacking police in the german city of stuttgart. and how to organize protests in me i did not take will make an activist trying to make people listen up taking the risk

of contagion down. i'm at the house welcome gemini's coronavirus reproduction right has jumped to 2.8 midst a huge outbreak in a make packing plant in the northwest of the country that number means that one infected person is on average infecting almost 3 others more than 1300 workers have tested positive for corona virus at this one factory with 7000 more people now forced to quarantine in the surrounding area. coronavirus cases in germany had long been in decline but here at the 2 news meat packing plant in vicious circle the virus is making a comeback over 1300 employees have tested positive for covert 196500

workers and family members have been sent into quarantine. the factory has been shot at north rhine-westphalia state premia arm in lash it visited the site on sunday. guns not on this trial and in north rhine-westphalia infection numbers have gone down by over 75 percent since we reopened but here in the greatest low district we have a concentrated explosion in the numbers which are closely linked to the meat industry and it is not the 1st time that meat packing plants have become hotbeds of infection in germany the latest incident has intensified the debate over health and safety of the workers many of the employees come from eastern europe and live and work in cramped conditions their plight might now have wider implications. of this also of this can be found at this specific company and so it is still the

case that we are unable to rule out a wider lockdown looked on the moment finished lisa you colonel. it has been one of the loudest proponents for a swift end to lockdown midges now he faces the prospect of being forced into a humiliating. well for more on this i'm joined in the studio by reporter federica federica this is not the 1st time without a corona virus outbreak in a slaughterhouse in germany why is it that history is repeating that's right and sunny i mean we've seen similar outbreaks for example just a few weeks ago at another meat processing plant called best fleisch in western germany but also in france in the u.s. and this is really shedding light on an underlying problem here which is the dire living and working conditions that many of the employees of these plants have to endure in the case of germany many of them are migrant workers and they come from

neighboring e.u. countries such as rumania poland or of bulgaria and in many cases they are not employed directly by the companies by. contractors which are they they then are more exposed to exploitations and they live in very low wages they also often live in crammed dorms and that's of course then a perfect breeding ground for the virus the thing is now that this is not a new problem it's been in germany's radar for quite some time and authorities have been quite slow to act germany's meat industry is one of the most profitable in the country so these companies are also very powerful and they say that they have to rely on the contractors in order to keep germany's needs so cheap it's such a concentrated hotspot how was this affecting germany's coronavirus numbers. as

you mentioned mainly because of these one cluster in attorneys at the time is the infection rate. now has jumped to $2.00 which means one person could infect almost $300.00 people and that's of course bad news if we consider that for it is have been stressing the importance of keeping the infection rate under one in order to keep the disease under control however the robert institute germany's public health institute has also stressed that this guy can infections really they're there they're limited it's limited to those local clusters whereas in the country as a whole for now still has the numbers number of infections under control for now at least for the record budget thank you very much staying in germany several police officers were injured not when a crowd of people rampage through the streets of stuttgart more than 20 arrests

were made after dozens of people smashed windows and engaged in losing. shattered glass ransacked shops 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 the engine 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 and he made an understand you're going to. video circulating on social media shows several groups turning violent destroying shop fronts and losing until the early hours of the

morning this all into something very different for love throughout the night 40 stores were attacked. with the mind busy 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. the next day start cut residents reacted to the destruction. we've never seen this instant cut 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 was lucky 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. now that some of the other stories making news this. in serbia president alexander has claimed

a landslide victory in parliament 3 elections the center right serbian progressive party looks set to take more than 60 percent of the vote many opposition parties boycotted citing unfair conditions and the danger to public help. hundreds of people have joined in julian protests in the streets of brazil of a coded 191 side called the handling of the disease disasters and calling for president jaya balsa naras impeachment others turned out to supporting more than 50000 brazilians have now officially died from the virus. well as it's changed a lot of the pandemic is also affecting how people make themselves politically the environmental movement products for future is trying out old tentative mass protests activists gathered in the northern german city of over the weekend for a socially distant city meanwhile in lubec several 100 protesters rode their bikes

to remind people the climate crisis is still with us. all the more radical extension extinction rebellion movement is also written into the streets news and activists from both groups here in berlin. elena marshall and jacob basel are fridays for future activist they took part in the protest that turned environmental movement into a household name the coronavirus pandemic put an end to such mass gatherings fridays for future is now looking for new ways to raise awareness. of course you have to maintain social distancing that means that we for instance paint crosses onto the streets and some cities and people keep their distance by standing on those marks or we form human change with people holding tape to keep apart and some cases we won't bring people onto the streets at all but instead use

items like protest signs. as part of online protest fridays for a future place 10000 placards in front of the german parliament in april but the activists know such digital demonstrations won't be enough to push their message in the long term. i think we were right to hold back but now our voice needs to be heard again we have to remind people what is most important we have to be confident in clear that the climate crisis is the biggest crisis of the century we have to treat it that way. ahead of us and they are also keen to take up the fight again extension rebellion are back with what they're calling rebellion weak civil disobedience is compatible with social distancing as this sit in at an industrial lobby headquarters in berlin shows. where only a small group i'm glued to this spot and the rebels below me have chained

themselves to it this is how we protest and i think it's entirely appropriate. the risk of infection weighs heavily on the climate protests which have been forced to reinvent themselves. and their strong hippie vibes at this 24 hour demo and improvement park a handful of activists want to engage with the public who means it and discussion. we don't want to limit ourselves to big demonstrations where you go out on the streets for only an hour and all that counts is your slogan and the amount of people who show up we want to offer a space for people to exchange ideas with those. they think come more colorful and creative but with the pandemic preventing big turnouts climate protests have yet to reach their earlier power to exert political pressure. it was a special life
