a huge national court this year because the parade is taking place just add up at the wharton vote to starting tomorrow on constitutional amendments which could keep the body here puts him in power for 2 more chances which 2036 so that's hugely important for the president and if you hear the kremlin the time for this is critically they want to create a feature article atmosphere we among the people here i have got to give you so there's a political dimension to this what 2 people in moscow think of holding such a massive event during the pandemic. well i would speaking to people out ahead of the parade and some people were saying you know this is seems badly timed for the pandemic there are still thousands of new cases of coronavirus cases across russia every day and you are worried that told me it was most. if you

happen to greet me if they bring to me people talk about their grandparents their grandmothers their grandfathers who took part in the war effort after all you have to remember that an estimated 27000000 citizens were killed during world war 2 you wouldn't know here at the rate of the rwandan war and just now in the us who didn't profits while about the huge sacrifices that the soviet people had to take to as he said free europe from knox is never. going to knock out for russia today it's well you know way victory day that's great let's go to war if you know your part of the official state religion you know modern russia is more couldn't believe with this pandemic still underway what measures are being taken to assure that the doesn't spark a new coronavirus hotspot. well there are

$14000.00 troops that marching across the square today so it's clearly you know a big risk that the kremlin is taking there are people here in the stands they are associated distance. kind of in between the letter and here you see watching the parade many people are wary. and there are parades happening across the country even though some cities have actually now sort of over the years of the content make clear there with the premise going straight to you know it marked out which has been a hot spot of the world of fire and you also already have actually times even you days had you not come out to watch those tanks that also artillery that is coughing your city today. and thank you very much that was emily sure risk where. germany faces its largest coronavirus since the country started easing restrict. in

april the round 640000 people are now back under lockdown in germany after more than 1500 workers at a slaughterhouse tested positive authorities in germany's most tensely populated state north rhine-westphalia reimposed restrictions in ghouta slow and violent golf residents blame the meat industry bosses for placing profit above public health. the districts of no environed are far back under coronavirus restrictions until the end of june residents can only have contact with their own hives homes schools pubs cafes museums and gyms will close again. we will now for the 1st time in germany return the whole region to the locked on the ashes that were in place a few weeks ago. before. the decision came after a massive corona virus outbreak at the 2 nears slaughter highs where more than 1500

workers have tested positive for cope with 19 dire living conditions are being blamed for the quick spread. the specific situation with the geographical spread of the locations and also the international nature of the tenuous work force mean that this outbreak is a potentially enormous pandemic risk similar clusters have also sprung up and has in blocks elsewhere in germany and getting in clashes broke out between quarantined residents and police. berlin's noid current district has also been affected those hotspots have caused a spike in new infections in germany but overall the number of new cases remains low the robot coffee institute for public health says it's essential to remain vigilant. in our country and if we give the chance to spread the news we take this opportunity which we can see in the current

outbreaks. elsewhere in germany the slow return to normality can be deceptive of with most of the country enjoying the summer weather but the new localized restrictions are reminder that the cope with 19 pandemic is far from over with a bumpy ride ahead. reporter in the loft area for us what's the situation there this morning. hi terry it's a lockdown is in full force and group is low and bottom doors districts pools playgrounds fitness rooms did not open this morning many people did not go to work bars will not open later tonight now there are no travel restrictions at the moment and this is important because summer vacation is starting next week many people had vacations planned and stayed from your arm and i should say that these people can still go on vacation you seem to contradict himself however when he also advised

people from these districts under lockdown to stay home if at all possible well obviously this is a localized break but it's captured the whole country's attention how are people reacting well let's go back to this question of vacation because a lot of germans vacation with in germany already 2 states. very and mecklenburg western pomerania have been travelers from the districts that are under lockdown and due to slow involvement or by saying that they can't stay at hotels there and telling them that they have to go back to their districts now on lashon is the state premier of north rhine-westphalia here he warned other states not to stigmatize people from low and bought into it he said that there are virtually no cases within those districts outside of the meat industry and most of those people or all of those people hopefully are in quarantine already so he said please do not stigmatize people traveling outside of my state at the same time health ministers

are going to get together to decide on a unified plan for going forward because it seems that around germany people are afraid of a 2nd i'll break well talking about other breaks understand there's a similar if smaller break underway now at a poultry plant also in the north east of germany in northwestern germany rather can you tell us more about. that's right invidious housing that's a separate state to the northwest of here $23.00 workers at a poultry slaughterhouse have tested positive for a corona virus and that's just out of 50 tests that were done how many of these people that were tested were showing symptoms or they were on shift was one person who tested positive so 23 out of 50 is not a good number they're going to test everybody at the factory and put anybody who came in contact with these people in quarantine it seems though that the business is going forward this still slaughtering turkeys there and i have to remind you

that this was the story at the beginning of the outbreak at the turn is a slaughterhouse in this region where in the beginning there was a few cases they said they had it under control they were testing everybody and after just one week 1500 people tested positive so a lot of anxiety around the meat industry right now in germany i mean thank you very much for bringing us up to date that was. in. and let's look at some other developments now in the pandemic deaths in latin america and the caribbean now exceed 100000 australia has recorded its 1st virus related fatality in a month after an 80 year old man died in the state of victoria the e.u. may ban travelers from the u.s. brazil and russia when it reopens its external borders according to the new york times tokyo says it expects a large number of new cases after a virus cluster was discovered in an office building england is set to

produces physical distancing broods from 2 meters to one meter plus that will make it possible for even smaller pubs and restaurants to welcome customers again i think a meter is fine it's a business in everything really so i think they put it just right. others consider it a bit too early days to eat for strict chins i suppose they've got to do something and. if it goes back up it's going to be looked at again so that doesn't allow for enjoying pint son precautions will soon be the new norm in england. so you look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world stay french pharmaceutical companies sort of she expects approval for a covert 19 vaccine in the 1st half of next year so a feast program is one of dozens sprinting to deliver a vaccine to help end the coronavirus pandemic. a massive cloud of dust from the

sahara desert is blanketing the caribbean where such a high density of dust hasn't been seen in half a century health experts warn the dust could exacerbate respiratory conditions including covered 19 or telling people to stay indoors. in the u.s. state of georgia a funeral has been held for a shark brooks the black man who was fatally shot during an encounter with of lanta police this month it was shot less than 3 weeks after the killing of george floyd whose death in place custody touched off nationwide protests. officials say at least 6 people have been killed after a powerful earthquake in southern mexico the epicenter of the quake was located near the pacific coast in a state of one haka the tremors knocked power and call several severe damage in some areas pavements wobbled and kilometers away in mexico city.

standing on shaky ground and feeling the earth swaying beneath one's feet. shock waves from a powerful earthquake rocked towns and cities across mexico to a halt. residents flooded the streets seeking safety on shifting pavement. to pull up at the foot of the sea it was very strong i had never felt such a strong earthquake only in 1905 today's earthquake felt very very strong we were so afraid she said to us and it was pretty severe and with covered 19 you think what's next. hospitals were affected too but while medical staff and patients were evacuated those suffering from the coronavirus remained isolated inside.

yes and. i felt how the bed was moving i was sleeping and then i saw how the curtains everything was moving. the quake hit at a time when mexico is a ready reeling from the coronavirus pandemic which has claimed more than 22000 lives so far latin america's 2nd highest toll but the tremors effects could have been much worse mexico's president and nouns that the country's infrastructure suffered no serious damage but he warns citizens to remain cautious. this boise is a she's moved after the strong 7.5 earthquake there have been 147 aftershocks the most. so they recommend that we remain alert and attentive in these. but while

feeling the aftershocks some mexican's preferred appealing to a higher power. former wire card boss marcus brown has posted bail following his arrest in munich on allegations he inflated company numbers investigators said brown was cooperating with them the scandal surrounding the blue chip wire card in the missing one point $9000000000.00 euros in its balance sheet poses an existential threat to the payments service or its star have been rising with the growth in digital transactions wire card is now scrambling to secure credit lines and could be forced to sell off business units. well for more i'm joined by dr leo lip is to company advisors business is in the payment sector thanks for being with us this morning so what could this meltdown wire card mean for all the digital payments the company has been handling so i really i don't

expect it to have a huge effect in the end there are there are systems in place there are there are protections in place for the accounts that merchants would have for handling payments and those payments typically would be released to the merchants within a matter of days after they're actually made so if you would either walk into a shop or buy something online those funds are not held for extended periods of time by a paper provider that typically put into a sort of quote unquote normal bank account relatively quickly when i ask you about the business model behind all of this in just a moment but 1st there's talk of why are card having to sell all parts of its businesses perhaps just to stay afloat are there other companies. south there who are standing by to fill the gap so that to plenty of them so it's a well it's a highly competitive market there are number of companies out there that offer services including traditional banks start ups global giants technology processors that are happy to step in and fill that gap so they're ok let's get to the business

model a lot of people don't really understand what wired card actually does people who work in finance like yourself of course know this but it's not well understood can you explain in a nutshell what business model wire card has so there are 2 sides to it. 2 sides of the card to the cards is the which which they in which the very big one is the issuing side so with that the brand or a bank that would issue a card to a consumer like you or me or you could walk around have one of their cards or could be someone else's brand on a so-called white label product the other side of the business is having merchants having shops whether online or brick and mortar shops as they're called as their customers and they enable them to accept payments whether they're card payments or other types of online payment schemes and then forward that money to the merchants now what card was not a small company this is it was represents one of germany's blue chip companies in the dax we've seen its share price plummet in recent weeks what will this mean for

the shareholders so my sense of it and i'm certain an expert on how that would work my sense of it is the shareholders could be out all the money of why or why are car going to be insolvent if the business does recover of course the share price will recover but given the current state of it i'm not sure that i would want to venture a guess about what's going to happen to the share price over the next few hours not to mention the next few days or weeks. any idea from your perspective what went wrong because with this 1.91.9000000000 dollars euros it 1st there was it was gone in then it was said it was never there to begin with any any idea what happened there. there are a variety of things that i suppose could have happened the most obvious one the appears to be and i don't know anything more than what i read the press either but the most obvious one is that appears to be either gross mismanagement or fraud or both. it seems to be that the having accounts placed with other banks in other parts of the world is relatively common practice with the payments industry this is

the way in which banks service customers in other markets or able to deliver payments to markets in which they themselves don't have a direct presence so that it is in itself is not the problem of problem in my judgment is that the there is clearly something has gone wrong seems to have been a fraud somewhere ok definitely olympus thanks for coming in this morning thanks for talking with us. a group of residents in egypt's capital are fighting against construction that will bring hundreds of thousands of cars just outside their door the government says the new highway is necessary to improve life in the crowded city and the apartments were built to legally attorneys and neighbors say the government's in the wrong. the view is certainly unusual but it's not something allah fahim can enjoy the government is building a full lane highway overpass just 50 centimeters from his balcony. sunni 750000 cars and trucks will be whizzing past his home every day

the 55 year old jokes about opening a snack bar in reality it's no laughing matter. i find it depressing they didn't give us any warning they started building without informing me. it's hit me really hard as gentle a muscle the morgue the concrete monstrosity cuts right through a residential quarter of cairo a middle class area home to doctors lawyers and office workers and a few small shops. they started building in september the highway is designed to connect the south of the capital with the north it's a prestige project for the government but most residents had no idea it was coming they bought their apartments for up to 50000 euros in egypt that's a lot of the soil my apartment is now under the overpass it's cuz of my

sunlight and my air it's made the apartment practically worthless around and i've got 2 kids in kindergarten and primary school soon i'll have to breathe in exhaust fumes and be exposed to constant horn honking every day that will kill them but no one seems to care about the health life or future of the children the well head how long that will how when all is they are into. cairo is a crowded and congested city endless traffic jams are the order of the day in the mega metropolis building projects like the new highway a meant to bring relief the government says individual interests must take a backseat. but residents are not giving up easily. some a is representing $150.00 plaintiffs from the area and he's putting up a fight that i did a little it's not fair and it's unacceptable we're going to sue the government the

amount they're offering in compensation is totally inadequate and the balcony used to be his favorite place quiet with a nice view soon he will have to seek sanctuary from the onslaught of traffic in doing was. well here in germany it's graduation season for students and a pandemic is forcing schools to make adjustments but one school in berlin says it's already learned to be more flexible persevered as it struggled to incorporate young refugees the school was altering syrian graduates whose success has exceeded the expectations of many special honors for a very special graduating class the german family minister hands out diplomas to this year's best students these high school seniors arrive from syria only a couple of years ago with the horrors of civil war still fresh in their minds.
