coronavirus related rules seem forgotten on the party's trip the so-called tourists drinking and dancing with few face masks and little social distancing to be seen. german health minister young spawn has expressed concern. reasons of course in this that we have to be very careful that the bellarmine doesn't become a 2nd issue what i mean by that is the risk of infection is particularly high when people don't stick to the rules. if the austrian ski resort was one of the 1st coronavirus hot spots from our praise ski parties the virus started to spread all over europe. the health minister urged holiday makers to save vigilant in order to prevent new infections. when i see pictures from the baltic sea resorts and

there is a breeze and everyone's looking out for one another a bit i don't get nervous. when i see people partying and drinking out of the same bottles when people are hugging that of course increases the risk as musical. said he understood that tourists are impatient after months of lockdown but that their behavior would increase the risk of spreading coronavirus and potentially trigger a 2nd wave of infections. let's get more from wendy urquhart she is a reporter for the daily business and based on the special island highway in d.c. good to see so a lot of partying in different locations apparently without any social distancing going on over the weekend what all they all can say. well you know it's a really bad situation here at the moment because we have the strictest lockdown in europe and now we have hundreds and hundreds of german and english children so

arriving on the island and basically not giving a damn you know there were parties all over the place from friday till sunday till 23 o'clock in the morning and later all the bars now have to close at 2 o'clock they're not allowed to open after that none of the clubs and discos are allowed to open either so everybody's congregating in the streets and all we've seen is video of people how gang singing passing beer bottles around everyone drinking out of the same asshole no social distancing whatsoever and absolutely no sign of a mask anywhere so the spaniards here are really worried because you know we had we really did toe the line there was no one stepping out of line here almost 3 months that we were under very very strict lockdown so yes there is a little bit of resentment now when people see the photographs and the videos of tourists not giving it out because we're the ones who are being invaded when i
8:05 pm
would ask you this i mean given male his reputation as a posse island where the local authorities perhaps too optimistic in helping holidaymakers with idiots is still distancing. you know i think yes of course i mean i think so yes but it's a very difficult balance because like every country in the world right now the economy is slipping down the toilet so they have to at some point be able to get some businesses up and running and get people back to work and because it is a very difficult situation majorca as i'm sure you know depends very much on tourism and that is the lifeblood of the island so they need to get back on track but what they've done is i mean in the airports they have like. c.c.t.v. cameras with thermal imaging so when people come through they can see if they have a high temperature or not you know they're having to israeli and when to eat or to
8:06 pm
confirm what their health this when we don't have to much more times i must ask you this in fact if you could answer this briefly there are now see is that my uncle could become a new coronavirus hotspot we certainly heard that from the german health minister what's being done to prevent that. well there's a whole raft of new measures came in just today actually it's not compulsory to wear a mask in any public space except on the beach so if you don't you get fined a 100 euros on the spot that's it it's done and there will be fined over and over again until they actually get the message there's also a crackdown on parties as well so you know there's fines of up to $600000.00 euros that people throw of private parties so it's doing what they can but it's like herding cats you know people get drunk they do what they want and it's very difficult to control massive crowds he has right by their training and i actually knew before the police units to try and stamp it down a little bit all right that's maybe

insubstantial pressure being put on hospitals. including trauma and i.c.u. in south africa already banned the sales of alcohol in the early stages of the lock down but the industry pushed for reopening warning of massive job losses what happened afterwards the hospital admissions went up significantly about 17000 alcohol related trauma admissions in hospitals were recorded every week that's why for now the liquor stores throughout the country remain closed to get as much now seems to me going to be straightforward i'm not going to be rude i think it's terrible i think is the realistically because in a leaky industry is not only the people working in the bottle store there's a random 1000000 people now they're all have to be at home know how cold is the most dangerous thing that is when people are always fighting people like the ladies who are a woman who are violated every time just because of uncle so i support the president

a shot at governing for another 5 years during this time they aim to push through controversial justice reforms putting them on a collision course with the e.u. . n.f.l. football team the washington redskins has officially confirmed that it will change its name the announcement follows renewed protests of the redskins monica which is considered offensive to native american communities it seems at previously stated he would never change the name but has reconstituted off to pressure from sponsors some of them publicly requested a change in the wake of the black lives back to protests. and joining me in studio to unwrap this topic is chris harrington from take risk good to see you sir as we mentioned. the 0920 team said that that name would never change it has changed why did he reconsider. dan snyder buckled to the pressure of the corporate sponsors backing out because he has to watch his bottom line the national football

league is the world's richest sports professional league you know so when you factor in that they have a lot to lose you know for that for that matter and then when you consider the teams the biggest the 1st i guess straw that broke the camel's back so to speak was fed ex fed ex you know paid them over $200000000.00 for the naming rights of their stadium they threaten to take their name off other companies followed suit nike amazon if you want to look for washington redskins merchandise right now you can find it anywhere bailable because they've taken it you know off of you know the availability list is the one team right now you cannot buy any merchandise well interesting ok tell us about this team's name in washington well so the team has always you know been embedded with racism there founder did not even want to integrate the national football league this is back in the 1960 s. he had to do so because he was pressured by the kennedy administration you know basically so he obviously buckled to that pressure and. the legacy now he's been erased from history the founder had
8:14 pm
a monument standing in front of their old stadium they took that down erased all of his you know name from all of the official records you know and so forth so i think there's they're really trying to rewrite the history and start you know a new tradition you know one that obviously is appealing to all of the communities that enjoy watching the game yes it's also about the reaction that you've seen to this and everybody is probably dying to know now what's the name going to be right with the reaction of course you know one congresswoman the one native american funk congresswoman in the united states came out and said it's about time you know she did ever as a patients about the idea of why does it take a worldwide movement you know to get you know this done you know but obviously it's done now not everyone agrees with the name change but i do think the majority do it's in terms of new names a handful of names have been put out there you see a lot of new names coming out because they'll take their time you know if choose wisely of course but one name i liked was the senator's because the washington senators was an old baseball team as well so it's not brand new in terms of professional teams that that be
