i think from a school days who knew keeping. the secret of mona lisa search july 3rd d. w. . this is the news live from berlin down restrictions are reimposed in an area of germany after a surge in cases of the slaughter house in the west of the country nearly 400000 people are affected by the new measures regional leaders say police will use force if locals refuse to comply. also coming up iran is the country hardest hit by the

coronavirus in the middle east so why do so many iranians appear to have lost their fear of the virus and is this preparing the ground for a potentially lethal 2nd wave. grounded by the coronavirus pandemic lufthansa's future hangs in the balance the german government wants to save its flag carrier but not everyone is happy to accept the financial help. as welcome to the program we start with breaking news germany has ordered a district of almost 400000 people back into lockdown amid a widening corona virus outbreak this off the germany's top health experts warned that the new cluster of cases had the potential to spread quickly word of the new restrictions came from premier of the north the country's most populous state north

wind was failure the new outbreak is centered on a massive meat processing plant 10 as. near the city of. more than 1500 workers there have tested positive for bias. russia says police deployments will be used to ensure the home quarantines of thousands of tenures employees with force if necessary. illit district of good is low we're not dealing with the biggest individual infection arc break in north rhine-westphalia and in germany. this specific situation with the geographical spread of locations and also the international nature of the turn use workforce mean that this outbreak is a potentially enormous pandemic risk. the mechanism agreed between the federal and local governments does not require widespread measures in the case of clearly localized infections.

however we will knowing for the 1st time in germany return a whole region to the lockdown measures that were in place a few weeks ago. let's bring in our correspondent who's followed that story you know what exactly does that now mean for the people in that region. regional authorities in north rhine-westphalia did hesitate for a while because it is of course a big step to place an entire district under lockdown again so at 1st what they did was to close the plant where that outbreak happened last week then they closed schools and kindergartens also last week but now i mean last said who we just saw said that it was vital to place the entire district of slow under lockdown and that means that some 360000 people are affected that lockdown will be in place at least

until next week when they hope to have more information about how the virus is spread exactly it means that people can no longer go to pubs or cinemas museums everything that was reopened is now being closed again they can't exercise indoors and the workers who have been placed under quarantine they will be supplied with essential goods by authorities well that the state premier used some quite robust language there how will regional government that enforce these measures we're talking about some 7000 workers from that 10 years meat processing plant and their families who have been placed under quarantine and i mean law said you said it he said he's going to deploy the police to make sure that the quarantine measures are aetate to that people do stay indoors and that the police can use force to actually impose those measures if necessary because of course they need to

carry out tests and some of the population there has not been so willing to be tested for the virus or the new lock down comes after more than 1500 workers at a slaughterhouse nigga just want tested positive for covert 19 let's have a brief look at how this whole story has developed. police medics and even the fire department have descended on the town of rate of eden brook to help stem a wave of corona virus infections over 1500 employees from the chinese meat packing plant have tested positive for coated 19 many of them foreign workers from eastern europe who live and work in dire conditions local activist in a butch nader has been protesting the situation for years she takes us to a building where 13 romanian factory employees lived until recently. as it's only 10 days 14 days at most since they left this place

inside a pungent smell greets us mold covers the walls many of the eastern european meat workers live in such dismal conditions most locals were aware of the situation but said nothing in the bush neither was different even organizing protests. we demonstrated in front of this house in december 28th tina this house is notorious. andre not his real name worked at the tunnies plant for 2 years for a subcontractor expected the worst thing about it was the working hours we began it one in the afternoon and finished at 1 in the morning completely the little one not the overtime work was not paid andre has since quit. after the corona virus outbreak at the tourney's plant authorities fear the virus

will spread to the rest of the city's population and maybe even beyond i mean i'm worried and it feels like we're losing control of the situation we don't know what is going to happen next. it's frightening how the corona virus has swept into our area we're afraid they'll close everything down here. the thought of it since i'm it's unbelievable frightening scary. the tourney's meatpacking plant has already shut down the pandemic has exposed problems that in a bush meter has been trying to draw attention to for years but only now are authorities paying serious attention to the meat workers' plight. you know that's a local situation there but if we look at the bigger picture in terms of the whole of germany what do people need to prepare for is this the beginning of a 2nd wave already. he does slow is located in

germany's most populous states north or innisfail some 17000000 people live there of course there's a lot of commuting between cities and the authorities simply can't be sure that the virus hasn't spread and that the lockdown will be enough to make sure that the local outbreak really does stay only that a local outbreak and the president of the leading public health agency the rubber cross institute mr avila said this morning that there is a risk of a 2nd wave here in germany that he is optimistic that it can be prevented provided that people do still adhere to all the necessary measures like keeping their distance and tearing to hygiene etc but of course that will be the big challenge for the coming months for the authorities to make sure that people adhere to those rules while the numbers are still low to still maintain that sense of urgency that the virus is still here nina thank you

and here are some other developments in the global pandemic the world health organization says the number of global corona virus infections has now topped 9000000 north and south america account for more than half of the new cases india's hospital system has started to buckle under the weight of new covert $900.00 cases country reports more infections per day than any company besides united states and brazil spanish as authorities have reimposed lock down measures in some northeastern cities of the new clusters of infections emerged this within days of spain lifting a nationwide state of emergency and for the 1st time in 75 years world leaders will not be coming to new york for the annual united nations general assembly september meeting will instead be conducted virtually with mostly prerecorded speeches. iran has struggled to contain the spread of corona virus nearly 10000 people have

died from covert 19 the highest number in the middle east numbers started to fall in may but recent weeks have seen an increase in the number of new infections and experts say the outbreak still hasn't petes. with all its many ordinary people are failing to heed the warnings. to iran's metros notoriously crowded for safety at the pender make face masks are mandatory here as well as physical distancing among travelers. in a city with lots of regulations already covered 19 has added even more to the mix. but as with the other rules ronnie's have adopted a rather relaxed attitude. there are signs that you should not enter without wearing a face mask and in some stations they don't let people enter without one but people

don't observe this in the metro when it's crowded they go in and sit next to each other. all over the capital every day life is returning to business as usual after 4 months iranians seem to have lost any fear of the virus. almost as normal as if there were no problem at all i've seen many people who don't care anymore at the beginning there was strict but now they're not they don't know any rules at all. and. we have many sick and deaf people because people don't obey the rules they don't listen they don't keep distance they even kiss each other. and covert 19 is making a comeback over the past regan ron has reported more than 2000 new infections every day. experts like to see say the country is in the midst of a 2nd wave. bigger even bigger than the

1st but not as severe as the 1st one may be because the. situation. for now to iran's hospitals able to cope and while the sanctions imposed by the u.s. make it difficult to import medical equipment they have also decreased the country's dependency on imported goods so unlike many other countries iran never ran out of protective equipment because it's produced in iran still dr ali horizontal sea is concerned he fears the islamic republic's international isolation could make it difficult to get a hold of a potential vaccine. so to avoid a further spread of the disease he's contribution to a channel on instagram that informs iranians about covert 19 but as for as we have not educated enough people maybe just you know taking some

more strict decisions and restrictions in some some places but work. that is something most people in tehran spas are afraid of then those are still trying to recover from the weeks of lockdown and spring which made their already bad economic situation even worse. the sales have plummeted. in record for example checks have bounced and now they have piled up. but in general it's a terrible situation now you know whether how you hand. motions or the. it's not likely to change anytime soon iran's government has wanted citizens they will probably have to live with the virus for a long time. well time now for a quick look at some of the other stories making headlines this hour north korea

has really install huge loudspeakers designed to blast propaganda cross the border into south korea the sound systems were taken down after the 2 sides signed an accord in 2018 but tensions have risen dramatically in recent weeks. china has successfully put the final satellite of its new navigation network into orbit the chinese bedo system is designed to rival the us on g.p.s. as well as europe's galileo system 10000000000 dollar project has been in development since the $990.00 s. . u.s. president will trump pass temporarily halted access to several employment based visas the move affects hundreds of thousands of people seeking to work in the u.s. technology companies including twitter and amazon criticize the order and said that immigrants tech labor could help the u.s. with tavor from the coronavirus pandemic we're watching video of you news still to

come heat wave hits siberia but it's not all fun and games the higher temperatures in the arctic circle are also causing forest fires and other disasters. germany's track areal of tons is in dire straits the coronavirus fallout has brought one of the largest airlines in the world to the brink of bankruptcy the german government wants to save lufthansa with a 9000000000 euro rescue package but not everyone is on board. the fate of germany flagship carrier hangs in the balance it took weeks for love tuns and the government to hammer out a 9000000000 euro rescue package but it could take just one man to jettison heinz how much is the airline's largest shareholder he wants the package voted down he's especially unhappy about the proposed 20 percent government stake in the airline a summit on monday between the country's economy and finance ministers have tons of

. failed to yield an agreement. unions are alarmed they're facing the prospect of over $20000.00 job losses while they're ready to compromise with management on matters like wage cuts it won't be at any price as of tuesday lufthansa said it hadn't managed a deal with them yet but that it will continue efforts to reach one before shareholders meet on thursday the stage is set for a vote that will either seal of tons of bailed out or send hurdling towards bankruptcy proceedings. the situation. aviation expert. and the german government wants to save. you know has a lot of cash to do that but the biggest shareholder as we heard the piece is against the deal why is that. i think the fear is the devaluation of his own investment due to this possible government involvement and there's

a rumor that he actually wants to take tons out to take all of tons on the cheap himself because he is apparently about $16000000000.00 u.s. dollars rich his personal fortune and there's talk that he might be even willing to spend maybe up to $3000000000.00 euros on his own pocket or his own pocket to kilotons are running for a few months it instead of relying on the state subsidy of up to 9000000000 euros by the government but that would be certain in his mind keeping government out so what that tentative to a government rescue of real fatah is that a valid alternative and that's a very good question because nobody knows what mr tito really intends to do apparently after this high level meeting yesterday bill it remains unclear he was interested in hearing on this but he kind of apparently he didn't get it communicated that way he's not giving up his own position so it's really kind of

suspense before thursday's extraordinary annual general meeting and business leno no plant in a way that we don't really know what will be happening so it's quite sit quite exciting in a way and also a bit scary so what can we expect to happen if there is no deal before tons of shareholder meeting on thursday is there anything else on the horizon. that is it is if you there is no pre-arranged deal numbers that would have been probably somehow communicated after i guess this meeting so this several possible turn outs on thursday was the easiest for everybody basically and most of the treaties would be if this is a government a package would be approved by the numbers including mr deal it about this is really not certain at the moment so there are several other scenarios is the most likely one is the loved ones are there already told us that they would prefer the government and that would kind of begin insolvency proceedings which might lessen

or devalue the value of most chairs or the assets of most channels or also enable of tons are probably to get rid of many expensive contracts for iraq of leasing of a pilot salaries so that they will be really bad for the previews and it seems that mr t. might intend to cut more jobs if he takes over that the proposed 22002 already has a talk about the government and their spirit aviation experts thank you. now the former c.e.o. of german financial platform why a cop marcus but alan has been arrested after the company admitted accounts thought to contain nearly 2000000000 euros probably did not exist the financial service provider which processes electronic payments for online businesses has been a shooting star in the markets now shares have dropped more than 80 percent in

recent days since rumors of sham transactions surfaced and the company was able to file its annual report. atol in siberia has recorded a record high temperature as a heat wave hits the region many locals have welcomed the development but the unusual weather is also bringing serious problems for. beach vibes in siberia very young in the arctic circle is known for having the world's widest temperature range used to some of the coldest winters on the planet locals welcomed the current heat wave. the temperatures climbing up to 38 degrees celsius every day our family comes here to swim and they don a river. through it everything is great it's exactly what we need for summer the elections in the us we didn't expect this at all we usually don't have heat until

july. but to experts siberia's unseasonably high temperatures are cause for concern rising heat across the arctic has led to widespread wildfires in the soccer republic where very young ski is located local authorities say more than 275000 hectares are burning. the heat wave is also causing permafrost or permanently frozen soil to fall at a faster pace in late may the arctic saw one of its worst environmental disasters in decades when a fuel reservoir collapsed near nor lisc spilling $21000.00 tons of diesel into local rivers and accident blamed in part on melting permafrost temperature records are being broken all around the world but scientists warn the arctic is warming much faster than anywhere else. for more on this

now joined by peter fly though he's a climate analyst who works at the n.-g. o. climate analytics here in berlin his specializing in assessing extreme weather indicators on the really regional and national scale peter high temperatures in a region that is known for a wide temperature range i understand 40 degrees is nothing outside of the ordinary in parts of siberia why is this heat wave special and so it's true that the arctic has quite a pronounced on the site but deceit where it was really because the density so the 1st time that is 38 degrees in the arctic circle and it's not just a daily record has been a persistent event so the whole month of may 8th at temperatures of 10 degrees warmer than usual in many regions in this not been around x. years since since january. there's been a warm anomaly quite pronounced one phenomenon isn't you say it's in

a normally is is this part of the beautiful weather patterns there or is there something more sinister so development as. i push and looking at the moment which brings one out from the solve quite far into knowledge on a polar regions so this is a known better unama now but it's quite persistent so it lasted for a long time and the temperatures we're seeing at the moment definitely not normal and so just something you would expect from climate change so the warming globe has led to these extreme temperatures at the moment the arctic is a region very specially populated why should we should we be worried about a heat wave for the impact does it have on global climate. so and the arctic is quiet remote for a lot of people but the effects of them of course following or by famous industry actually have

a global impact so when this frozen so it is usually frozen most of the melts faster than usual which is the case now as to it and release as large amounts of methane which is a greenhouse gas and does globally wants to climate and it's b.s. also last year to those 19 this is right for as we head down large amounts of c o 2 can be emitted that is where it has which would also then have a global effect on the kind of the you're looking at data that i assume that comes in climate data right now during the corona related lockdown measures we're seeing a massive drop in the c o 2 emissions does that already have any positive impact in the arctic yes you said it's production of emissions which means that we still in it and greenhouse gases so we are still wanting the climate at the moment it's just a bit slower than we wanted. so for a positive effect or you know really measurable effect it would really need to drop

these emissions to 0 and does is actually our only way to protect us and that have been violent of the arctic so as we doctors just slowing a bit effect fit of latin thank you very much thank you for a famous spanish opera house has reopened after being closed for a month with a special concert for plants the event was the idea of a conceptual artist who said he'd spent a lot on getting in touch with nature. a concert inspired by the strength and beauty of nature resilient in the midst of a pandemic. the. span comes back to life after a 3 month lockdown leafy guest fill seats at barcelona's ellis aoe opera house rule. i watch what was going on in nature during the pandemic i heard many more
