the western town of bhutto's lot to try to prevent the disease from spreading leaders in the state of north when it was fairly. doing all they could to avoid reimposing a water law for. 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 plan to 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 widely circulated recording and employ you can be heard voicing her concern about the situation this is tenuous she says in the video that was leaked online how are we supposed to protect ourselves. 10 years as one of germany's biggest meat processing companies its clients include german supermarket

giants algae and. the mass outbreak has sparked protests and heated debate about working conditions at plants. will do anything in our power to shed light onto the darkness in the sector. and will certainly trying to keep the virus from spilling over to the general public. the outbreak at tonya's 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 as premier i mean law shit on the defensive he has now signaled he's considering a larger quarantine in the area to control the outbreak. just yourself this can be found at this specific company but we still cannot rule out a wider lockdown. look down the moment. the
2:04 pm
plans call on or has promised to take full responsibility for the outbreak but confidence is dwindling and the science management team many blame for what has become a major crisis. spoke to. one of the plant workers residences on the lockdown and i asked about the conditions that workers are now facing as you can see right behind me is a fence without an exit you 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 is 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
2:05 pm
a german couple who also is living with in this fence they have their own house next to one of these apartments and they're under quarantine through 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 storage fees to enforce the currency which involves $7000.00. 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 their 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
2:06 pm
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 because i mean reporting that and germany's infectious disease agency institute pointed to that meat packing plant as a big driver of germany's virus reproduction number which has now shot up to nearly 2.9. political correspondent nina haas is following reaction to that from does this outbreak at the plant month the beginning of a 2nd wave in germany maybe. the covert cock institute germany's leading public health institute that you've mentioned as says that there is no indication at the moment that the overall number of cases in germany is on the rise that this is
2:07 pm
a tendency they clearly link the higher rep reduction rates to those local outbreaks they say that currently there are some $3.00 to $4.00 places where we've seen big outbreaks and that has triggered the our rate to shoot up we need to take a 2nd to look at that reproduction rate because it does mean that at the moment one infected person infects another 3 people close to another 3 people but of course that rate was under one and it's now close to 3 that does sound alarming but what we have to look at is the overall figures of coronavirus infections and that there are many places in germany where there are 3 to 4 cases 400000 inhabitants for example having said all this about called institute also say that the risk is still high. is this increase in the reproduction number may be enough to prompt a rethink in government strategery. the overall strategy here in germany has been
2:08 pm
to give a lot of responsibility to the regions and a lot of flexibility to deal with the virus and jenny has had pretty well with that strategy having said that now of course the pressure is on and politicians are showing themselves concerned the labor minister of the country you bet is higher has announced drastic measures for the meat packing industry says the working conditions need to be improved fairly swiftly and more controls need to be imposed that also the health ministry in spawn has come out and said that's local authorities need to act swiftly to contain any local outbreak because of course there's always the risk that it could spread to the rest of the country and in spawn has also said that the burden is tight the parliament should evaluate the process of coronavirus strategy and measures you know as a thank you. bring up to speed with some of the other latest developments in the corona virus pandemic the world health organization has

2:11 pm
has left brazil naked in front of the world it has exposed social inequality historical social injustices and the incompetence of public authorities it is the responsibility of those who have governed the country in recent years there is no way to associate these figures with the behavior of the president of the republic. brooke but it's. quote according to the ngo doctors without borders nurses in brazil are dying of covert $1000.00 faster than any other country in the world almost $100.00 per month since brazil confirmed its 1st case of the novel coronavirus at the end of february 2 health ministers have left office following clashes with the president one was fired by the other quits after just 4 weeks currently the government has no permanent health minister. but clearly the president still has a lot of support even though according to the w.h.o. brazil had added to more than $54000.00 cases in the previous 24 hours.
2:12 pm
you're watching news 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 standards searching for answers. but 1st senior diplomats from the united states and russia are meeting to discuss arms control in vienna the talks come 8 months before a key nuclear weapons party between the 2 nations is due to expire around the world only 9 countries have nuclear weapons and over 90 percent of those weapons belong to the united states and russia each possess over $6000.00 warheads following far behind is china with iran $300.00 europe's 2 nuclear powers france and the u.k. have $3200.00 respectively the remaining countries israel india pakistan and north
2:13 pm
korea each have fewer than $200.00 warheads. more in today's talks in a moment but 1st let's take a look at how the u.s. and russia arrived at this point. this state of the u.s. russian arms control negotiations today makes the cooled war look congenial by comparison the intermediate range nuclear missile treaty or i n.f.l. . assigned by u.s. president ronald reagan and soviet leader mikhail gorbachev in 1987 it was considered a cornerstone of euro atlantic security it eliminated land based missiles and launchers with a range of 502-5500 kilometers those considered most likely to target europe if coming from russia but decades later in 2014 the obama administration produced evidence russia had violated the treaty with a longer range missile and last year at the trumpet ministration quit the deal we can no longer be restricted by the treaty while russia shamelessly violates nato
2:14 pm
allies agreed russia had breached its obligations but they worried abandoning the deal altogether would mean an unbridled buildup on both sides it is very easy to start that we see the demise of their honesty today but i still believe it is possible to reach agreements with our show on arms control however just last month again citing russian violations the us pulled out of the open skies treaty which allows signatories to fly over each other's territory and keep an eye on military movements this move casts a shadow over negotiations on the last remaining u.s. russia arms control treaty new start which expires in february unless washington and moscow agree to continue it while russian president vladimir putin says he'll sign it u.s. president donald trump has ranged from being ambivalent about extending the deal to being extremely ambitious about expanding it we're probably going to make
2:15 pm
a deal with russia or our. show there will be very be applauded of that but experts say even if china expressed interest which it hasn't there's far too little time to for a job broader agreement before new start it's finished. whilst talk a bit more about this joining me now from stockholm is dr peter thomas caffe senior research at the supreme nuclear disarmament arms control and nonproliferation program dr because of these talks are due to conclude on tuesday how likely is it that russia and the u.s. will make any progress because this is a 1st meeting between the u.n. has and there are some indications are i have more you can expectations evolve old comments or in your own arts that will lead to extension or it will use it in a negotiation of the new start treaty. but as they begin you that's
2:16 pm
a good start and i would like to highlight that even the spines of parents there of a chain you didn't give them who didn't come through all vienna to enjoy as a toss you that the you had to give them decided to stay and have them decision was their actual gunther bartz now this is the group and of these 2 think. well it's a good start maybe but what happens if the last remaining nuclear arms control deal between russia and the u.s. expires expires next february without a deal. are unfortunately. these chants. may be your heel and or was all of this each year. appointments airboat 40 years really gives them you know remains important to engage china and was old chap in the white house is unbearable to earth signs
2:17 pm
a stark extension for the next 5 yards or so it will mean of course and of that. but are it also maybe dependent on the political forces and the united states because now. very their presidential campaign and nobody knows who will lead the white house or the new social note here so it will means out it's unpredictable not only because of the car negotiations we'll go all but also it will be unpredictable because of the political forces and the levers there is a booth you mentioned china they're not taking part in these talks why. of their most oeuvre reasonable response forms a chain use of people and that it does not. are if hope it don't you china reserve a much smaller nuclear arsenal if the company are within your grasp of hundreds of
2:18 pm
hours and for notice the above for me it's just there but yes because our yes it's arsenal smaller but why not to be more a little more transparent for china doesn't say how much you care what happens their nuclear arsenal and your own you puts not appropriate to have shown as a part of the new start treaty china and maybe all the countries of building that are so china and the states with some bigger thoughts parents are involved in your arsenals and while it's dr peter to have a scarf senior researcher at the super nuclear disarmament arms control and nonproliferation programme many facts thank you. and to some of the other stories making headlines around the world today embattled german fin tech why

2:21 pm
city of st got today was definitely intended to send a signal that the german government the federal government stands behind the police force here in germany and will not tolerate violence against the police or the police and still god has described the riots as a as being part of the so-called parties see what is that supposed to mean. it's an excellent question it's a really interesting term and an interesting way to describe it so what we know about the group that was involved or believed to be involved in these in the clashes is that they tend to be they were all young people in their in their late teens early twenty's who typically gather in one of the central parks downtown in stuttgart and meet up when smaller groups with friends for for a night of fun so this is not necessarily an organized group per se it's more of
2:22 pm
a collection of of smaller groups that now that coronavirus lockdown restriction measures of lifted can now once again meet openly in public again and there's usually quite a bit of drinking that goes on as well as some alleged drug use too are more arrests expected. certainly i think that we can definitely anticipate more arrests coming over the next couple of weeks so far 24 people have been arrested for due due to the clashes over the weekend but up to 500 people are believed to have been involved police are going to be looking through the evidence from the shops and other another location suffered damage to try and gather evidence and to try and determine the identities of the people who were involved now they're going to face an uphill battle with that a lot of the people who were out on saturday were wearing masks were covering their
2:23 pm
faces and it was dark so investigations are definitely going to take some time but we will definitely be seeing more arrests in the future. thank you. 3. more than 2000 people turned out in madrid on sunday to demand to the return of bullfighting across spain the controversial sport has been canceled since lockdowns began on march 13th but now supporters are calling on politicians and organizers to restart events or the very least to offer financial support to what they consider to be part of spain's cultural and artistic heritage it's estimated the lockdown has cost the sport more than $5000000.00 euros. and finally something personal from all of us here news it's 5 years ago today that we launched a new channel from this very studio in 2015 since then we've produced some 30000
