the film of the knowledge and belief trust and deception democracy of the global storage july 1st on t w. this is the news from germany's scramble to the stand off the coronavirus as more than 1300 workers test positive. growth for the owners of the plant to be held responsible for floods in social distancing rules and failing to protect their workers. also coming up it was the epicenter of europe's 19 outbreak

now in the city. is the tragedy and the high death toll could have been prevented if the region's leaders have acted so. check on government subsidies and a level playing field for investors that's what d'you leaders are demanding from china as trade talks resume today china moves closer toward walk in brussels wants . to show me the money troubles of germany's why it. says it appears to have lost accounts containing nearly 2000000000 euros. welcome to the program alarm bells ringing here in germany after more than 1300 people tested. was it to focus on

a virus of the meat packing plant thousands of people have been quarantined in the western town of slope to try to prevent the disease from spreading further regional leaders say they are doing all they can to avoid reimposing a wider lockdown but criticism is growing of the company involved after video emerged showing that it failed to enforce rules on social distancing. it's an outbreak that has shocked germany day after day the number of infected 10 u.s. employees has risen to over 1300 today but there are indications that the plant may have ignored warning signs ahead of the outbreak. this video shows the company canteen in april of this year overcrowded despite germany's supposed social distancing restrictions and this leak recording and employ you can be heard voicing her concern about the situation this is tenuous.

how are we supposed to protect ourselves 10 years is one of germany's biggest meat processing companies its clients include german supermarket giants aldi and lidl the mass outbreak has sparked protests and heated debate about working conditions at plants. will do anything in our power to shed light on to the darkness in the sector. and will certainly try to keep the virus from spilling over into the general public. the outbreak at 10 years has raised fears of a super spreader event in the country's west where germany's 1st major outbreak happened over winter the latest developments have put north rhine-westphalia premier army in lush on the defensive he has now signals he's considering a larger quarantine in the area to control the outbreak. this is a source of this can be found at this specific company but we still cannot rule out

a wider lockdown an inflation day condition look a moment recent conan 10 years c l claimants 10 yes has promised to take full responsibility for the plant but local leaders have already said they have little confidence and his company to manage a rapidly growing outbreak for your call. covering this story for us he's outside one of the plant workers residence and now under lockdown i mean what conditions are workers facing there on the lockdown 6. as you can see right behind me is a fence without an exit we've seen people passing things over the fence which means there is no way to come out there's no coming and going here this is a housing block for workers from the tourney as factory and they're under a complete quarantine there's police parked at both sides of the street making sure

nobody leaves and goes in here we spoke we tried to speak to one of the workers inside a spoke german but said that he didn't want to speak to the media because other people living here didn't want the media's attention but we did speak to a german couple who also was living with in this fence they have their own house next to one of these apartments and they're under quarantine 2 they said it came suddenly and now there's a fence around here and they can't come or go they have to get food delivered which has been tricky they said so very strict security here well told us security how hard will it be for authorities to enforce the current in which involves some 7000 . and that close contacts. that's the question there are 7000 people who are supposedly under quarantine what we can see here is that several 100 are under quarantine we can see that with our own eyes the problem is earlier we visited a house that also had workers from the slaughterhouse where there was no police and

no fence and that's because these workers had found their own apartment within the city so even though places like this are under high security where a lot of workers live together there are also places within the city where one or 2 workers may be living who may have been exposed to the virus and are under self quarantine and it's hard to say whether or not that is as failsafe as this one authorities are. optimistic that they can keep it under control but like you said 7000 people and that's hard to keep track of. well i mean we. say the management of the company is facing criticism for the way it handled the situation what went wrong that. well the security management here the authorities in this region said they have 0 faith in the company you know that's because every step of the way they've made it difficult for the authorities to work with them one point said that they didn't have the addresses of all their

employees up to 30 percent of the addresses were missing they blamed it on germany's privacy laws but it turned out to not be true of the authorities tracked down the addresses of those workers. now the conditions under which these workers work is also has also been blamed for the problem there's you subcontractors so there's very little transparency in how many hours these people work where they live and that's under scrutiny now in germany but all along the way it's been hard to find out where people live on or what conditions they're working how this is virus is spreading believe they have it under control now but it's a matter of wait and see. if we porters thank you. let's bring up to speed with some of the other developments in the coronavirus pandemic the world health organization has recorded the biggest one day increase

and coronavirus cases so far more than 183000 the americas account for more than half of that in brazil more than 50000 people have now died from the virus hundreds of people joined in protests for and against brazil's president also narrow and his handling of the crisis indonesia's death toll has risen to 2500 the highest in the fast east asia and india has recorded 445 new deaths in 24 hours it's the biggest single day increase today. the northern italian region of lombardy was the epicenter of europe's corona virus outbreak more than $16000.00 people died than one of the towns hardest hit was bagenal locals say no family there is gave the tragedy and many are calling for those responsible to be held to account the w.'s marinus trust reports. images that are hard

to forget military trucks loaded with coffins. doctors and nurses as frontline fighters and overloaded hospital. which travel to battle a city that is still in mourning 1st stop the old town usually a tourist hot spot here we meet. a community worker things have calmed down though unlike the south of the crisis. after a few days some of us started breaking down emotionally they were sobbing like babies but it was partly the pressure but also because we were dealing with people who had seen 2 or 3 of their family members die one of them one after the other with. during october bailo was among the founders of superbad and initiative to help those who couldn't help themselves 200 volunteers joined him

vigil of food and medicines to cover 1000 patients relief for our suffering city everybody knows somebody who died of culvert 90 the mural you can see behind me has become the symbol of the crisis a nurse with wings holding italy in her arms italian artist franco to bali dedicated it to health workers from the wall of darkness public hospital the image that spreads across the world. at berga most main cemetery visit the grace of people who died of. father beggar tells us the number of fatalities was so high that many bodies had to be transported to other cities at the peak of the crisis more than 130 coffins were stored here in his church or bedouin body and. it was unsettling because you know being here like the. after a week or 10 days i started smelling not only the smell of pine trees and fur trees

but something else that i stopped seeing mass by myself among the coffins. emerged. people and are grieving for the loss of last ones but they're also beginning to ask questions they want to know why their region number d. which is one of the richest in italy was so hard hit stefan of course grandfather died in a care home he's now collecting the stories of other covered 9000 victims we just want to know the truth we want to know if it was just a fatality or if there is a high level of power in the heart is not the doctor or sort of nurses that have the possibility to contain this feeling or even to avoid their fusco and others say the worst affected parts of the region should have been closed down at an early

states they criticize the reasons far of president in milan for putting profits before people to see them before we find out who's responsible we have to understand whether or not we made mistakes from the regions point a few i think we try to give all possible answers and take all possible preventions at a time when we were confronting an extraordinary situation at a time when nobody knew much about the virus. from back in bed again will kill bio says the citizens will have to take things into their own hands his initiative superbad again will start organizing concerts to support local artists. we have to be careful we can't be too cheerful because we're doing this in a city in a province that is in mourning or project wants to be a him to life not just going back to work but a real new start a new start based on human relations the market. is confident that over

time his city will manage to recover but that optimism a stamp and bud's a fear of a 2nd wave of infections. moreno's draws for boarding that trade with china is important for all european economies but also complicated e.u. investors have long complained about the lack of access to chinese markets and unfair government subsidies leaders from the un try in our meeting today to discuss a new investment agreement e.u. leaders in brussels are holding a video conference with their powerful counterpart in beijing china's foreign ministry says the chinese government touches great importance to the meeting the goal of the stalled investment talks is to turn 27 separate agreements into one bilateral investment pact it will regulate key issues such as transparency a mutual trade heaping a level playing field for investors compliance with the rules on funding state

owned companies and the protection of intellectual property. the talks come at a time of tension between the 2 sides for example china has reacted angrily to e.u. criticism of its controversial new security law for hong kong european union leaders are looking for an opportunity to exert influence over beijing. if to deal with and i am fine and i am now in which we keep dragging this china on important matters like an investment treaty progress on climate change and our commander in africa but also on questions of the rule for our human rights and the future on cards that. china's economic policy has changed since the investment talks began 6 years ago the flow of chinese money into e.u. countries has been falling since 2016 with direct investment back to 2013 levels.

trade relations need repairing and the talks need to get moving. joining me now from brussels is our chief international editor richard walker richard they've been talking for a long time and there's still lots of tensions and there are. yes i mean the tensions are really quite extreme at the moment between china and the west as a whole really going back several months of course you know the context for that you know many things relating to the covert outbreak which of course began in china there are lots of questions about whether china could have been more transparent in the early days of the outbreak whether that contributed to just how far and how fast the pandemic spreads. also there are concerns just voice very recently by the european union outright accusing china of mounting dissin from asian campaigns within europe around the covert outbreak and then on top of that we just saw in the report human rights in jang in the province in western china more than

a 1000000 people in so-called reeducation camps their rights being severely curtailed something the doctor well as reported on a lot and of course hong kong this new national security law that china wants to impose their threatening freedom freedom of speech in hong kong now the usual way for the european union with all of these concerns over human rights is to sort of voice concerns say that we talked to china about these things but human rights groups are saying that simply doesn't go far enough now and the european parliament is actually just recently chimed in in agreement with that saying that the european union has to threaten the consequences over these breaches of human rights otherwise they're just not standing up for their own values properly so more of that in their kind of super at the moment making this a very very difficult set of talks to hold their it sounds very difficult while the u.n. china eve meeting or at all given all those differences. yeah well this is actually

less than had been planned the plan was to have a huge summit to much fanfare with all $27.00 european leaders in germany this september that is being put on ice supposedly blaming the corona pandemic but of course all of those factors certainly at play here the european side would say 2 things 1st will they say it's important to keep talking they believe in diplomacy they believe in multilateralism so keep talking no matter how bad the problems are and the 2nd thing is they want that investment treaty that we saw described in the report that there's a real sense in europe that european countries have not had a fair crack at the chinese market the same sort of concerns that you hear voiced in america by donald trump obviously voicing a rather more low key way here in europe so they do want progress on that i think china wants progress on that too the question is with all of those concerns all of those geopolitical tensions all of the uncertainty in the world at the moment just means it might just be too difficult for the obvious chief international editor

richard walker brussels many thanks what if you don't use still to come how could this have happened in the prosperous german city of stuttgart an explosion of violence including brutal attacks against police and looting leaves many stunned and searching for answers. but 1st burst missing funds embattled german payments provider wire card taken another twist the company now says that 1900000000 euros reported missing from its account may never have existed at all the mystery of the mythical money has led to a frantic sell off on the of the stock of germany's new economy poster child. it was once a rising star in the financial startup world now wire card has fallen hard 18 months of fraud allegations and scrutiny into its accounting practices came to

a head last week and the fallout is ongoing on thursday wire card said auditors could not find 1900000000 euros reflected in its balance sheet the funds were supposed to have been in 2 philippine banks but on sunday the philippine central bank said the money never entered the country's financial system so the missing money scandal has already cost c.e.o. marcus brown his job and on monday a fresh admission a statement from wire card saying that it is likely that the 1900000000 euros do not even exist the amount accounts for a quarter of its total balance sheet wire card is facing a cash crunch and says it's in talks with creditors to continue financing at survival but time could be running out for the company once tell it as the future of german finance. well for more on that let's talk to. frank but josie how does almost 2000000000 euros go missing without anyone noticing.

well this is the question since this news broke on thursday is it missing did somebody take it was it embezzled or just did it never exist in the 1st place and it is looking increasingly likely that it didn't exist it was never there so that begs the question of why why are card would put 2000000000 euros that didn't exist on its balance sheet and there's still a lot we don't know about this story every day and new shoe drops and we just are continuing to follow it but it's going to take a long time and a lot of investigations to really get to the bottom of this but what we do know is that wire card of course has been facing allegations and a lot of questions over its accounting practices for years it's been repeatedly accused of inflating its sales and this cash number this 2000000000 euros in cash that is on its balance sheet it did help reinsure a lot of investors that the company was financially sound so this was a really important number for investors and the fact that it didn't exist is really

creating a lot of existential questions about about the future of the company you know a lot of investors have lost a lot of money that what comes next for why god will be able to stay afloat all the walls are really closing in on the wire card right now it is facing a massive liquidity crunch the stock has fallen 8090 percent over the past several days its creditors now are talking about canceling about $2000000000.00 euros worth of loans and it's going to be facing a lot of legal and regulatory challenges going forward so its biggest shareholders are talking about suing the company regulators here in germany are looking into the company it could face more investigations around the world and it probably could face businesses starting to cancel contracts and things like that so there really are very few options for the company going forward so it's delaying the influence of thank you. another some of the other stories making headlines around the world

and 24 people were arrested the head of police there says he's never seen anything like it in nearly 50 years in the job. 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 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 we've made and understand years from now going on call and 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 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 and luggage shift. 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 as far as the i found out about it through a video i just saw someone throwing stones at the shop was lucky to terminal 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. at

the scene and stood guard and sent us this update. the streets of jakarta shopping district have largely been cleaned up but smashed windows and boarded up store fronts serve as reminders of the violence that erupted here over the weekend local residents say they are shocked with what happened and city officials and state officials are valid tough response for those involved some of the young people who witnessed the clashes told me that they were also shocked that things got out of hand citing alcohol is one of the reasons as well as simmering tensions with police and general frustrations over the coronavirus pandemic. authorities have said that the rioters likely came from the so-called party scene but it's unclear exactly what that term means and determining exactly who was involved and what their motives were will likely prove difficult in the weeks and months to come. and the bundesliga 2nd division promotion hopefuls headed home and hamburg went
