i danced in a school of those who look at me. the secret of mona lisa storage july 3rd on g.w. . this is the w. news live from berlin more than half a 1000000 germans find themselves back under lockdown the restrictions talk of parts of western germany after corona virus outbreak as a slaughterhouse locals claim the demand for cheap meat products at the dispense of workers health. also coming up russia marks a special victory day with

a display of military muscle pushing aside pandemic concerns that house delayed the parade last month we look at what a public vote on const controversial called situational reforms tomorrow has to do with today's celebration. cost the earth trembles in mexico as strong as quake in the country's south sense citizens fleeing for safety as the ground shifts beneath their feet. however as welcome to the program health officials in the german state of north rhine-westphalia are conducting mosque coronavirus testing after officials we imposed lockdown measures on more than 640000 people residents of the greatest low and violent off districts in the state of north rhine-westphalia face severe restrictions on their movements authorities took the locked out decisions after

major spike in the virus infections at a meat processing plant in that region some $1000.00 were. because of the 10 years slaughterhouse i've tested positive for covert 90. well reports on me i see if is outside a coronavirus testing center in does the which is in that area so i mean what's the situation like that right the building behind me is actually a community college but school is not in session they've turned this into a makeshift coronavirus testing center the authorities announced that everybody and get this low can get tested for free but this is the only center they provided and as you can see a massive line has formed here it starts around the corner several 100 meters and then continues down the street for another several 100 meters countless people in line can't even see the end from where i'm standing we've talked to several

families we talked to one family who was at the beginning of the line they said they came out here at 7 in the morning and there was already several 100 people standing there they had heard the announcement that they could get tested for free so they came out here as early as possible and they're still worried that they're not going to get to the end of the line and as for people who are all the way at the back the question really remains is there enough capacity here to test up to 200000 people who live in this district. i mean this is a localized outbreak but it's captured the whole country's attention how are people reacting elsewhere. well that's exactly why so many people want to get tested because several german states have basically closed their borders to vacationers from this district now summer vacation begins next week a lot of people in line here want to go on holiday and bavaria for example and whole stein mecklenburg west pomerania have all said that visitors from this

district are not welcome in some areas though if you provide a negative coronavirus test then you can stay at hotels for example in the area austria is also among one of the countries that has been and vacationers from. low district and volunteer with districts so a lot of people standing in line here want to get their negative test so that tomorrow saturday. next week they can go on their vacations i understand there's also a similar smaller outbreak on the way a poultry plant in the northwest of germany tell us more about that. that's right in this house and that's northwest of here a separate outbreak at a poultry plant has and 23 people have tested positive but that's only out of 50 people who were tested so that plant is going to test all of its $1100.00 workers but this really just brings a slaughter houses into the spotlight german authorities have known about the

dangers for a while they passed a law to ban outsourcing of labor so that they can bring this more under control and have a little bit more insight into how workers are being treated there but there's other voices demanding that some action be taken now this poultry plant even though they have positive cases they've isolated them and they're continuing work but some people are demanding that this really comes under focus here that somebody does something about the spreading of viruses at slaughterhouses so that a situation like this can be avoided. in thank you. well here are some other developments in the corona virus pandemic deaths in latin america and the caribbean have now exceeded 100000 australian has recorded its 1st virus related fatality in a month after an 8080 year old man died in the state of victoria the e.u. made ban travelers from the us brazil and russia when it reopens its external

borders according to a report in the new york times and tokyo says it expects a large number of new cases after a virus cluster was discovered in an office building that. 1st few nights it states is seeing a new surge of corona virus infections across large parts of the country as well that's according to the top u.s. infectious disease expert he says the next 2 weeks will be critical to the country's ability to manage new cases is warning comes as political polarization competes for attention with public health advice u.s. president donald trump was back on stage on wednesday eager to secure the support of voters in arizona no topic was taboo even if it included racist slurs got all different names. was catching. coronavirus right i'm. coming from was

covered 19 is now infected more than 2300000 people in the u.s. and killed more than 120000 trump said the numbers were the result of a testing we're testing show much we're now up to 27500000 tests when you have all those test you have more cases so the discoveries are they are more carries we want to do testing they want to do everything but they use it to make us look bad he was speaking as arizona texas and nevada set single day records for new cases on tuesday while other states including louisiana and south carolina have also reported barring surges senior health officials have confirmed widespread testing will continue or to my knowledge none of us have ever been told to slow down on testing that just is a fact in fact we will be doing more testing as you've heard from admiral gerar

not only testing to specifically identify people in the identify isolating contact trace but also much more surveillance state governments have also begun to ramp up other precautions washington will. soon joined several states including california in requiring people to wear facial coverings in public as the economy reopens but testing remains a primary defense against the virus with u.s. experts saying the current number of tests would need to be doubled to control the spread. of this brain my he's the spokesman for the world health organization in geneva a surgeon cases in many u.s. states u.s. president on trump says it's because the u.s. is testing so much is that true. but of course when you test you see more that's script and so if you test more you will normally also find more but the u.s. is accounting for quarter of the world's cases so we have now just reached 9000000

cases worldwide and short of 500000 that's and again the u.s. is accounting for the quantiles to both cases. so i think it's great that's good and ramping up surveillance and following up with the contacts and isolating sector people aren't signing possible contacts that is a good thing. and it's it's good that the administration does all this way more accelerated way and what we have seen before and if we see one more case is that's to be expected but of course the major goal here is to find excuses when it's all cited because right now there's still leading the world and this is also compared with other sheep countries it's a larger populations so. let's you have to say yes. as we saw donald trump is holding large complaint events in moscow today there's a huge show was a huge parade and europeans are looking forward to some of occasion season how

concerned is the w.h.o. that countries are returning to normal activities. but there's a there's a big. gamble but a little tradeoff here and we need to go back to some sort of law my ality in order also to have the physical and the mental stability to really be supportive bends locations weekends and evenings out mingling that's all and what for us as human beings but at the same time it's very important to what is a safe and possible as safe as possible shouldn't be nice or sanity versus safety and should be altogether the same for you can and should be livelihoods and lives so let's put it all in a safe way and nothing else and in germany actually just on this weekend it was very interesting to see people wearing masks all over the place is what everybody does but it's very very much in force and that's a that's a good thing so as long as you're spec the rules meeting where you cannot avoid

physical contact where your mask and where it's recommended of course and also the hand hygiene whenever you've been around people and have been touching items that's an important thing and if you do this then you're safe and then the national travel of course is another big question which everybody has on their mind what else but that has to be a risk evaluation of every individual country with a destination to go to some of these the nations by will be safer than others and then again the pen is also on the way in case that's needed how all of one of checks being done on trolls and else climbs how do all else act how do beaches consol are not functional how do restaurants behave that's that's a huge questions and that cannot be one answer to that it has to be an individual risk assessment which of course the national or local authorities after talking about individuals yesterday a judge in brazil ordered president table so naro to start wearing a mosque in public does the coronavirus showing the difficulty when public health

becomes politicized. very much so and i think we've seen in the recent past in the right recent months that especially countries which have a. politicized polarized society have not been doing so great and that's i think a lot of those countries which are much more stable as a society that doesn't have to be a political unity that can be described and is not a political left as normal democracy but when countries are all rise and politicized they have been not so well so the virus is pointing out weaknesses in society also on the political level and that's an interesting it's discovery and the president from the world health organization in geneva thank you. time now for a look at some other news stories making headlines today friends from a suitable companies are no free expects approval for

a covert 19 vaccine in the next 1st half of next year so no his program is one of dozens sprinting to deliver a vaccine to help end the coronavirus pandemic. heavy rains have triggered floods and landslides in parts of eastern and central china more than $200.00 hectares of farmland and hundreds of houses were flooded in the eastern and we province in central hunan rains bridge dams and displaced some 60000 people. 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 recent respiratory conditions including covert 19 and are telling people to stay indoor. at least 6 people have been killed after a powerful earthquake in the southern mexico the epicenter of the quake was located

near the pacific coast of the state of the haka the tremors of knocked out power and cracked walls shifting pavement could be felt hundreds of kilometers away in mexico city. standing on shaky ground and feeling the earth swaying beneath one's feet. the shock waves from a powerful earthquake the towns and cities across mexico to a halt. residents flooded the streets seeking safety on shifting pavement. you often see what we see but 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 covert 1000 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. 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 2nd highest toll. but the tremors effects could have been much worse mexico's president and the amounts that the country's infrastructure suffered no serious damage but he warns citizens to remain cautious . this boise is a huge move after the strong 7.5 earthquake there have been

147 aftershocks. so they recommend that we remain alert and attentive in this. but while feeling the aftershocks some mexicans preferred appealing to a higher power. and. you're watching news still to come a new highway in cairo passed on to this man's dream apartment into a night that many residents are asking how did the project get the green light. but 1st russian president vladimir putin says the world owes the former soviet union a debt of gratitude for its contribution to the defeat of nazi germany in world war 2 he was speaking at a major military parade in moscow marking 75 years since the end of the wall the

parade was originally scheduled for may the 9th spot was postponed because of the coronavirus and the kremlin dismissed criticism that it is irresponsible to go ahead with it now saying infections in moscow i declined. our correspondent is standing by for us red square where the parade took place today emily why did president putin decide to go ahead with this parade now despite. all the risk to public health. well 1st of all this is the 75th anniversary this year is the 75th anniversary of the soviet victory in world war 2 and that's a hugely important event for russians and for vladimir putin as well and we saw this bombastic parade here today including foreign troops from former soviet states and from china from india we saw tanks crossing red square artillery

flyovers of this really big parade. but also this big bombastic parade that i'm talking about it house and national importance this year as well because tomorrow a vote kicks off on constitutional amendments here in russia which could keep bloody near putin himself in power as president for 2 more terms so until 2036 if that if that amendment if those amendments are passed so in some ways the kremlin i think with this parade is trying to create a patriotic atmosphere ahead of that vote and wouldn't people in moscow think of holding such a massive event during the coronavirus of a pandemic. well there were there were mixed feelings among the people that i spoke to here today on the one hand people say you know we're in the middle of a pandemic until just recently we were supposed to be self isolating and now suddenly there's this parade in in moscow and in many cities across the country

people are saying that they think that it's not safe but a lot of the people i spoke to said this parade has to happen even though it was postponed because of the pandemic that they were saying that victory day is really sacred to them and that's the word that many people here use after all an estimated 27000000 soviet citizens were killed during world war 2 which is known as the great patriotic war here so every family kind of has a story to tell and vladimir putin today also in his speech talked about the huge weight that the soviet people had to carry. did you see any measures being taken to show that this parade doesn't spark a new coronavirus hold schools. well according to reports the soldiers the troops marching across red square today were under strict control they had their temperatures measures measured to ensure that they didn't have the

coronavirus the veterans and the viewers in the stands watching the parade were socially distanced so there was space between them people were wearing masks but of course having 14000 troops marching through the center of moscow that is a huge risk but it seems that that's a risk that the kremlin is willing to take especially ahead of the all important vote which kicks off tomorrow. sherburne reporting from moscow's red square for us thank you. a group of residents in egypt's capital cairo are fighting against construction that will bring hundreds of thousands of cars just outside their front doors the government says the new highway is necessary to improve life in a crowded city and the apartments where built illegally attorneys and neighbors say the government's in the wrong divvying 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. seanie 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 in columns of 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. my apartment is now under the overpass it's cut off my son lights my air it's made the apartment practically worthless and i've got 2 kids in kindergarten and primary school soon they'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 will you know is there issue for you as a player. 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 amend to bring relief the government says individual interests must take a backseat. but residents are not giving up easily

some egg or heart is representing $150.00 plaintiffs from the area and he's putting up a fight with a lawyer either although 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. 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 all those. the covert $900.00 pandemic has disrupted trade around the world giving global economies a chance to rethink their dependence on imported goods now uganda's president wants to reduce the country's dependence on products from china and support local manufacturers but economists say that china's role in this should be carefully scrutinized for outside uganda's capital kampala these women and men have a tight deadline to produce half

here the bam boom the flow this steel which is the biggest component on under starts we have an o. and with and is now such contracting that and localizing the supply chain that fuels production in manufacturing last year you're going to spend more than $880000000.00 on importing goods from china alone researchers see that uganda can keep that karsh if locals produce the goods however the local economy could still lose out if the factories at home owned by the chinese who can rip up to it profits some also argue that because china relies on africa's raw materials and its market it might not be ready to lose each to the local. whatever china wants too much of it they come and get here they take it and grow much or they can process and they bring it back now you're telling them that you know you guys we

are going to we want to start our own business and tell you what you told them is please get out of here and you do things about a source you break in the shoe but that does not seem to deter professor from training up ugandans he's hope is that embracing technology will improve uganda's chances of becoming more self-reliant. and now if you like me have a fear of heights you might want to look away now as we bring you some of the death defying feats of swiss acrobats freddie naca and his troupe the 55 year old set 3 new world records on tuesday as he walked into unicycles sometimes blindfolded a long cable suspended more than 175 meters from the ground in the beautiful mountains of southwest switzerland his fellow acrobats joined in with
