this is you know we news life from berlin coronavirus breaks out at another german its food production facility over 170 workers test positive eddie varian vegetable farm is the latest cluster of its kind in germany raising questions about conditions for farm workers often migrant laborers also coming up. a diplomatic standoff the stars and stripes are lowered as the u.s. is forced to vacate its consulate in the chinese city of chengdu it's in retaliation for the shutdown of the chinese diplomatic mission in houston last week

and the huge them across the nile that's causing tension between the reasoning should steve agreed to resume talks with serious concerns remain about the vital water supplies. glad to be back with the officials in germany are scrambling to contain a corona virus outbreak at a farm in the country south it's the latest in a string of covert eruptions linked to food production in germany 174 workers on the bavarian farm tested positive over the weekend. around 3000 people live in the bavarian town of manning and many are now waiting for corona virus tests a farm is under quarantine after 174 migrant workers tested positive for covert 19

. officials are trying to find out how they became infected and if the virus has spread outside the farm there are strict hygiene guidelines for businesses employing seasonal staff but various state premier says they were not followed. officials on the local and regional level say that hygiene inspections work carried out at this farm contributed but there are obviously fim violations which groups and that's why action has to be taken now. he said very a would tighten its coronavirus rules. even if you had businesses will face more frequent hygiene inspections and they'll be carried out by mixed teams from the public health commerce and agricultural departments which of. the very it will also step up testing of employees and violations of social distancing and hygiene regulations could incur fines of up 225000 euros instead of 5000 before people in

my ming are waiting to find out if the virus has spread from the farm to the town if tests show that has happened they likely face a new lock down i want to take you now straight to our political correspondent simon young who is tracking the latest developments on this developing story simon another outbreak in a food facility here in germany that relies mostly on cheap labor from poor in new countries either differing standards of protection for different people in germany . well in theory no but in practice i think yes inevitably there are a lot of people again and again i've pointed the finger at sections of the food industry and agriculture which rely on cheap labor on seasonal workers and many of these migrant workers you know they come to germany just for a few months and they are living in. sometimes cramped in

unsanitary conditions and there have been suggestions you know that they in many cases haven't been following the rules that they haven't been given the opportunity to follow the rules and there have been criticisms of employers and so that's why you're seeing a tough response here from the varian or thirty's but also elsewhere where there have been these outbreaks with increased checks and tougher fines for instance on employers and now what are the implications and what will the follow be of this new outbreak in the area. well so far germany's had a pretty good record dealing with corona the number of deaths is still under 10000 but the all right the reproduction rate is now above one the game in that so i think that the virus is spreading and we've seen these problems in the food industry but there's also been concerns for instance about young people partying and failing to distance and now heading into holiday season there are concerns that

that could cause an increase in infection rates so the government is worried the head of the chancellor of helga brown is sort of america's right hand man he's been talking about this today urging people to follow the hygiene and distancing rules even through the summer period let's have a listen to what he said before our goal is we have to ask ourselves how we want to increase our chances of getting through this pandemic well if we want to do that then we need to make sure we have as low a level of infection as possible at the end of the summer. so and that means we have to get from what we have seen over the past days with some 800 infections a day back to a situation where we have fewer than 500 cases per day i believe then we will have good chances of managing the pandemic virus called as well. ok so that's a really clear language there now simon some people are warning that this is the

beginning of a so-called 2nd wave of the corona virus so what are we to make of that. well the experts seem to agree that the number of infections will almost certainly roys again later in the year when it's cold when 'd people spend more time indoors than those of both things that seem to favor the virus so you know there is a real concern the could be a problem there that's why people are saying we want to enter that phase with the lowest number of infections i mentioned the vacation season there have been worrying increases in infections in some popular holiday destinations for instance in spain where a lot of germans like to go and they started going on holiday again there are fears that that disease could be imported back into germany that's why the government for instance has set up. a program of testing at airports and ports and you know

for tourists returning voluntary so far but there's talk about making it compulsory i think that's just one example of how germany could be toughening its stones going forward and did obvious political correspondent simon young reporting thank you very much and as simon referenced there spain the spanish government says that the country is safe to visit despite a surge in corona virus cases this statement comes after the u.k. reimposed a 2 we quarantine on travelers returning from the country well spain fears the move could deal a big blow to its struggling tourism industry has asked britain to exclude erik and cannery islands air from the quarantine measures citing the low number of cases there. aren't and next to vietnam which is back on high alert after an outbreak of the current virus was confirmed in the coastal

resort city of denying all this after weeks of no new cases being reported the gulf . and has reacted quickly and started evacuating thousands of people. this crowded airport lobby is a far cry from the beaches of done but for many people summer holidays have now come to an appropriate and overall $80000.00 tourists are being evacuated from the coastal city after at least 3 new coronavirus cases were reported there on the weekend. i was supposed to go back tomorrow afternoon but i'd rather fly home tonight the situation makes me worried but i will follow preventive measures by wearing a mask and having less contact with people. the mess of evacuation will take at least 4 days once at home travelers will need to cry on teen for 14 days to avoid spreading the virus people seem happy to comply. every. day i

will strictly obey the instructions of the ministry of health as well as those of the government even if i am not immediately parenting and i will submit my medical report right away. we've done so far that number has touted its success in fighting the pandemic the country has seen only a few 100 coronavirus cases and no deaths by applying tough measures now the government wants to keep it that way. and staying in asia where u.s. marines have lower theon american flag and u.s. diplomatic staff have left their consulate in the southwestern chinese city of chengdu well beijing ordered the closure in retaliation for washington's shutting down of the chinese consulate in houston u.s. secretary of state's my campaign called the facility a center for spying. hundreds of onlookers gathered to watch the evacuation of the

u.s. consulate in chengdu china though many took selfies and waved chinese flags large numbers of police officers plus a quick stop to any provokers of gestures that i. was . some was. up. the closure has stoked a nationalist sentiment in china. but at a korea. i am going through the u.s. close star consulate i think we should should there's 2 it has been said many times if we are to have a trade war something should have been done long time ago china rarely got aggressive i support china closing all of the u.s. consulates and embassy. had the foresight fear most is that the u.s. won't just stop now and might get uglier. with just hours to

go before the departure deadline shipping containers were loaded up while signs were stripped from the building. the departure follows the closure of china's consulate in houston texas last week and made allegations of espionage and intellectual property theft. the tit for tat diplomatic route marks an escalation in the tensions between the 2 superpowers over a range of issues including trade the coronavirus. well earlier china correspondent mathias berninger who is in chengdu you told us how the closure of the u.s. consulate was received in china i am in front of this consulate over there next to the black gate you can see the sign that said consulate of the united states covered by wooden panels and

a lot of people are here they came out today as they have done in the past 2 days to have a look at this historic moment some people where i outright triumphant all joyous they said they were happy for the u.s. to go others were sad that it had come to the data point and many just with curious they said that something historical was happening in their city and they wanted to have a look at it chengdu is not where most of the businesses the u.s. businesses are it is not as important as shanghai or quango but it is quite important because it covers a wide area of china it covers the whole southwest of china and it also covers to bed which has a distinct political meaning so it was an imp. it was a step that china taking that is about reciprocal towards the u.s.

had done it the importance should be about the same level as the use and consulate was to china now see a sibling or they're reporting from outside the now closed u.s. consulate in chengdu you are right time to tell you now about some of the other stories making news around the world. flooding in china has again caused extensive damage in central houben province of floodwaters submerged roads and washed away vehicles in southwestern chongqing heavy rains caused multiple landslides. on the day the philippines president or they go to their terrorist congress in his annual state of the nation speech hundreds of protesters marched in the capital against a new anti terror bill public gatherings of more than 10 people are banned under corona virus restrictions were testers say the government is using the health crisis to suppress dissent. the ukrainian army is accusing

russia backed separatists of breaching a ceasefire in the country's east the separatists have denied the accusations the truce went into effect at midnight on sunday it was agreed last week by negotiators from russia ukraine and the international monitor group the oh s. c.e. . egypt's ethiopia and soon have agreed to resume talks over a disputed hydroelectric dam that ethiopia is filling on the river nile on the gauche asians are over rather the grand renaissance dam have gone on for almost a decade so why is it so difficult to settle this dispute over how to share the precious waters of the nile there's more. this is the ethiopian ground renee sounds damn good for short. erected on the river nile dmin tributary the blue nile it took almost a decade to build and cement to be part of ethiopia's transformation. roughly

65 percent of the country is not connected to the power grid energy from the dam could more than double ethiopia's current output fulfilling its needs and making it an exporter. but the dems also highly controversial due to its location. the nile's main source the blue nile starts in ethiopia at lake tundra the river flows toward sudan and joins the rivers other tributary that sudan's capital has done before heading downstream to egypt. is being built here on the border with sudan near the blue nile source the demo catch water in its massive reservoir whose surface area is larger than that of greater london this will inevitably have an effect on how much water flows to downstream countries egypt and sudan egypt is home to almost 100000000 people

who depend on the nile for 90 percent of their fresh water supply some fear that ethiopia will leave too much water in its reservoirs during periods of drought in danger and the flow downstream. that could leave egypt's farmers unable to irrigate their lands causing major food losses. and all this as the effects of a workman clime meant have already strained egyptian agriculture. the effects for sudan seem mixed one fear here is that the gerd could jeopardize the operations of sudan's own dams on the nile however sadat also sees an opportunity to get cheap energy from ethiopia thanks to gird and it could regulate water flows that are sometimes classed flooding these competing interests are among the reasons why negotiations over the dense operations have been difficult. no

comprehensive final deal has been reached but even with an agreement cooperation between egypt and sudan will be needed for the years to come. there are more projects planned along the nile and the effects of climate change and growing populations mean water could be an increasingly scarce resource. that was doing abusing it for hema reporting for you next we turn our attention to poland because that government several right wing government has announced plans to begin its withdrawal process from the istanbul convention while the treaty aims to protect women against violence and to help bring about the end of discrimination against women well it is the 1st legally binding convention of its kind in the world and people in poland took to the streets on friday to protest the measure or saw has since played down the decision saying it is not yet official so which one is it want to bring in now due to the reporter. who has been tracking closely the story

for us great to have you here in the studio so there's some confusion whether there will follow through on what they said but let's just take their statement for it's worth why does the polish government want to pull out of this treaty so the government says that this treaty is harmful because it forces liberal values on to poland but it doesn't want the main issue for them is gender identity that's the idea that gender is a social and cultural construct rather than biological sakes they say this is an ideology and they don't want this taught in the schools that on one young people to learn this if you look in the treaty it does contain this language it talks about gender identity that can be interpreted as the treaty not only is that you protect women from domestic violence but also chance women and non-binary people now the critics of the protest governments us. saying that this is just

a continuation of the sentiments campaign that the lauren justice party has been running from from the very beginning you'll remember earlier this month the president under due to was reelected in poland very much on a come running on a campaign of. the rights and i understand that there is also a religious element to this to this measure this drive so the law and just as far as the important is very closely aligned with the catholic church that the catholic lobby if you will they say not only does this convention impose liberal values that poland doesn't want but it also says the convention blames the catholic church and what it calls the polish traditional family values for being responsible for violence against women now if you read the text the catholic church of course is not mentioned at all but religion is but only insofar as to say that religion should not be just the cation for violence against women we have

a some reaction from this protest in poland over the weekend as a trans activists who on why she thinks the church really oppose the treaty. i mean the catholic lobby even defines helping someone get an abortion as a form of abuse for example someone who helps another person get birth control which is legal right now is considered to be harassing women and families they even call that sexual abuse but. i know people who've experienced domestic violence even i have in some form but i only realized this recent me because domestic violence isn't always physical sexual so yes i do know victims of abuse not use them but yourself and all that has there been an international reaction from the e.u. maybe it's been vitally widely condemned both from brussels and also from strasburg with which is the head office of the council of europe the council the council of

europe is the human rights organization that is behind the system both convention. the full name of the of this of the as the book a bunch of other ways the convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence and poland ratified that in 2015 before the northern justice party came into it came into power now the secretary general of the council of europe she said that the sole objective off the treaty is to combat violence against women she's also said today that if there are any misconceptions or mis understandings about the convention we're ready to clarify them in a constructive dialogue so we have the situation now the polish justice minister over the weekend has said that he wanted today be to be the day that the exiting off the fiji star said earlier today just hours ago the head of the prime minister's office said that there is no official decision being made yet so either they're listening to the critics or they're stalling well to wait and see i thank you so very much. i want to turn now to the u.s.

where the body of the late civil rights campaigner john lewis is due to lie in state in the u.s. capitol in washington today and on tuesday before his funeral later this week representative lewis died 10 days ago at the age of 80 in the 1960 s. he was one of the leaders of the civil rights movement alongside martin luther king jr he later became a congressman and was widely admired for his championing of civil rights for everyone you know use in this poll has been finding out how some african-americans in washington will remember him. culture of coffee 2 is a 100 percent black owned business its mission is to bring all kinds of people to gather as tributes to john lewis coming from across the country customers here share their thoughts about how the civil rights activist has affected their lives. john lewis a lot of folks know that conscious of congress knowing that he existed has made me

a better man a bit better father. how could i have been able to impart that to my daughters import how it's important to stand for something. to be committed. whatever it might be in his case it was for the people civil right now just like people of all people the recent killing of george floyd has brought the fight for equal rights back to the streets like lives matter has become a cat's cry for protests which often turn why isn't it to defy it is a war and it's not something black people are trying to peacefully end its war for years now. now now we're fighting. the lincoln memorial the site of many historic events. right here at this very spot john lewis spoke in 1963 next to a civil rights icon martin luther king he dedicated his entire life to fight social

and racial inequality in a non violent way his death comes at a time when many americans think that this is not the right response anymore to the ongoing discrimination especially younger protesters have the feeling that they have to take more forceful actions. but congressman lewis always advocated getting into what he called good trouble a political tactic which continues to resonate with many african-americans to me he means the world as a african-american as someone who believes and i think he stood for being nonviolent and just the things that he accomplished on his life time that enables me to do what i do right now everyone is going to miss social injustices so i think this is the right approach peaceful marches and protests this was needed we don't

need to be violent we need to persist. just keep at it. john lewis himself remained persistent until the end of his life talking to dr value 4 years ago he expressed hope that his vision would extend. beyond the united states i believe if we can get it right here in america maybe we can serve as a model for the rest of the world. and that was in his full reporting from washington want to raise this force now in the secretaries of the season's g.p. saw francis fabio cortes aurora of yamaha with the wind rather and the end of this in grand prix this extends his lead in the world standings with defending champion mark marquez missing the race after breaking his arm last week. in beaking temperatures at the track and yet as spain. took the lead from the outset and held on throughout the race perhaps more interesting was the battle for 2nd for a while it looked like francesco bug naive team promised to qantas would get on the

podium for the 1st time ever he got past yamaha teammates valentino rossi and maverick the knowledge only to see his bike start trailing smoke forcing him to retire then it was up to the 2 yamaha drivers to battle it out for 2nd italian rushy was impressive here but his spanish teammate the knowledge passed him on the penultimate lap to take 2nd and hand the italian 3rd winner quite toronto's at the heat played havoc on the track sort of because you know to make 25 laps in front of these temperature i think was the hottest. race of my life honestly it was so hot. in the air or so in my head and my feet was so hot so really difficult but honestly i felt really good in the bike quad toronto now claims his 2nd successive win and disc or on a virus steal a championship after taking the spanish g.p. at the same yet as track last weekend. this is ditto your news in berlin don't forget you can get all the latest news about heading to our web site that's dot com
