here in berlin with the an enviable task of keeping party goers socially distant. i'm michael oke who 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 showing symptoms of covert 19 leader kim jong un called an emergency meeting on saturday if confirmed it would be the country's 1st official north korean state media say the person suspected of having the virus crossed illegally from south korea. for more i'm joined by josh smith a reuters correspondent in seoul south korea. i have to ask you 1st i mean if confirmed this would be the 1st case officially acknowledged by north korean

authorities how credible is this. well as with all things north korea their claims of having no cases has been met with a lot of skepticism due to the lack of hard information coming out of north korea so there is a lot of skepticism that this kid is in their 1st case that being said we also haven't had any firm cases otherwise and so if this does indeed turn out to be the case a lot of people expect them to potentially announce that they've had other cases as well which will be something that people are watching very closely josh in this case has been linked to a person who list ortiz claimed defected to south korea 3 years ago and just returned back to north korea what if anything all we to make of that. well south korean officials have said that there is a good chance that someone did recently return across the fortified border and

they're checking into that but it is quite interesting the folks that we've talked to know that this would potentially allow north korea to blame south korea rather than china for example for any outbreak in north korea at the same time they also know that it could allow the north korea to save face if it decides to accept aid that's been offered by south korea basically framing it as kind of a form of compensation for south korea's role allegedly in sparking an outbreak in north korea josh smith no doubt we'll be hearing more about this case from you thank you so much thank you. britain has imposed a 2 week quarantine on travelers arriving from spain after surgeon covered 900 cases there europe had only recently reopened most of its borders to travel nightlife in the spanish region of catalonia is shutting down once more while national authorities are introducing measures against the recent spike in

breaks that the health services are battling with sen there and all the corners and stay in the open gallus in the northwest and coupling the arak on the north east and down and in the sea as well there's a notorious case and a nightclub there in cordova where. 91 people were infected and and then likable 400 people were less than 200 people should've been in the us like. we know we know pretty much the causes of these outbreaks the problem with tourism and the problem with seasonal workers like grading around the country living in cramped conditions but the big problem is the lack of contact tracing so the authorities don't have a handle. on the infections and the people in the secondary people who could be infected you know as as you surely know spain was hit hardest by the kroner virus in europe and just opened a month ago after a strict lockdown how big are fears now of truly

a 2nd wave in the country. yeah it's funny there's a bit of. kind of a lack of reality about the situation people in the middle of the summer here people are trying to make more stuff for pretty severe lockdown and for the go to 2 months so they're going about their holidays and going to their summer homes and going to the beaches although i live in barcelona to know a lot of the beaches in the city were closed at the weekend and at the same time the people who. realize that we are very close to the government says for only one step away from a returning to a state of emergency and so it's very troubling that. after 54 months of this pandemic there is an element of the cheek so just have to wait and see what happens richard fitzpatrick really appreciate that thanks. highlighting some other stories now making news around the world at this hour protesters have clashed with police
