meet the people here in berlin with an enviable task of keeping party goers socially distant. and god as welcome to the program north korea has placed the city of k. song near the border with south korea under total lockdown after a person was found suspected of covert $900.00 symptoms leader kim jong un called an emergency meeting on saturday if confirmed that would be the country's 1st official case north korean state media say the presence of suspected of having the virus crossed illegally from south korea. for more on that story i'm not joined but just smithies a reuters correspondent in seoul in south korea josh if confirmed this will be the 1st case officially acknowledged by north korean authorities how credible is that.

there has been a lot of suspicion cast on north korea's claims to have no confirmed cases so far not least because information is so difficult to get out of north korea in any kind of independent fashion obviously there's a lot of control on any kind of media access and even international institutions like the w. h. o. have only had relied on numbers given to them by the north korean government and so while it's been a lot of suspicions that there is some kind of outbreak there we also have no confirmation that there has been any kind of outbreak and in recent weeks north korea had actually sounds showing signs of lifting some of the restrictions that it imposed there and so at this point it's really unclear and as you said this would be the 1st confirmation and so that's something that's going to get a lot of attention if confirmed this case has been linked to a person whom the authorities in north korea claim defected to south korea 3 years

ago and just now returned to north korea what are we to make of that. it is somewhat interesting scenario on several levels south korean authorities here say that they're still. figuring out whether that story is credible but they have said there's actually a good chance that someone didn't turn to north korea recently at the same time it's unclear whether that person actually had cohered of any type and so it's something that we'll never know the actual details of that in the past north korea has sometimes mixed a bit of facts and. facts and fiction together and that may be the case that we're looking at here. in seoul thank you. ferkin has imposed a 2 weeks' quarantine on travelers arriving from spain after a surge in covert 900 cases that europe had only recently reopened most of its

borders to travel nightlife in the spanish region of catalonia shutting down once more while national authorities are introducing measures against the recent spike and infections the new restrictions are causing renewed district disruption to the travel industry and to tourists for. the u.k.'s sudden decision to take spain off a safe travel list left travelers with no time to prepare for its consequences to is to returning home environment broods has an airport were frustrated they had come on holiday with the understanding they would not have to quarantine upon their return. i think it's pretty bad because it's just come all of a sudden it's not given much time to prepare. for everyone to hop on a cane and i also think that ruins comes on everybody we had a wedding to go to help plans to visit friends and family that we haven't seen in about a long time and not again have to cancel all those plans so it's really quite upsetting

and those with holidays books for the coming days and weeks also face headaches too operated t.v. says it has canceled its upcoming flights from britain to spain but some airlines say they'll still fly possibly leaving would be holiday makers out of pocket. the rush to grab the mediterranean sun and sand after months of lockdown is believed to have contributed to the spike in code with 19 infections in the country sending some beaches into a 2nd shutdown. in barcelona nightlife is scaling back once more with clubs forced to close and do re imposed curfew on restaurants and bars there are concerns young people could transmit the virus to the elderly france is also advising its citizens against crossing the border into neighboring spain prompting concerns over 2 isn't there. everything's going so badly

this year there has been a 30 to 40 percent drop in a friendship that compared to usual if 10 or even 50 percent fewer french people come it will make a difference the spanish authorities insist their country is safe with fresh outbreaks being local isolated and controlled fears of a 2nd wave of coded 19 across europe are seeing nations struggling to stave off fresh outbreaks while trying to reopen their economies. for more on this story let's go to correspondent stephen bergen in barcelona stephen the spanish government says outbreaks in spain are localized and controlled so other measures taken by the u.k. and also by france too strict you think. well i would say it's up to the. decisions on the information. i think is the feeling here in the case of the u.k. this is yet another improvised decision. and somewhat hypocritical if given that

you're actually far more likely to get infected with corona virus in the u.k. than you are here a moment the other thing is that the worst outbreaks with there are some here in barcelona but the worst outbreaks are actually places of tourists who wouldn't visit there with as one that's an agricultural area. which is north of tourist areas hold. out sort of. long time of post because of that which is you know a working class dormitory horoscope this is the other place. it up with another country for example which includes of course the blank of benidorm places like roll tourist resorts there oh there will be 14 people in hospital the whole about to come to so. in some ways it seems it seems disproportionate.

it's making this decision overnight just a story from france people people who are here will have to go home and ask for 2 weeks off work because they're going to be important in spain just open up one months ago after a very strict lockdown how big a fear is now for a 2nd wave in the country briefly if you can. well the government doesn't seem to fear a 2nd wave. that is isolated most of the outbreaks and not happen in public places is not actually true that they were mostly derived from beaches and mostly derived from family gatherings and people missing having family gatherings and. that's basically the main cause of them. i think the other problem is the these do to states mix both tests of people with the end and people who are positive most of the people who are testing positive or symptomatic stephen thank you
