the world on fire starts aug 12th d w we have to fight back. and dance with the baby. this is good of you news live from berlin and if you are coming to germany you could be tested for code that the german government says it will be making coronavirus testing mandatory for travelers returning from high risk regions and countries infection rates have been rising here in germany and at popular european holiday destinations as well also on our show today.

u.s. makers remembering the late civil rights pioneer john lewis in a display of bipartisan unity congressional leaders praising the late democratic congressman as a moral force for the nation. i'm brian thomas great to have you with us today the german government says the travelers arriving from high risk areas will be required to undergo covert 1000 testing beginning monday of next week germany's health minister says the measure is necessary to prevent incoming travelers from infecting others and triggering a 2nd wave of. over 19 though most of the world's countries are currently deemed by

germany to be high risk including the united states brazil russia and turkey. the w.'s thomas sparrow is following this for us this morning good morning to you thomas and how is this set to work in practice and does this affect all border crossings land sea and air this test mandatory element of it has been extremely controversial in germany in the last few days in particular because it was seen as an encroachment on the rights of people returning home undocked where the government here in germany had been very careful in trying to decide how exactly they could carry that out they came to the conclusion that they could only guarantee that proportionality if they did it with these countries and regions deemed high risk those are countries and regions deemed high risk by germany's public health is that your default are called institute and that affects most countries outside of the european union this measure this compulsory measure

will start in the next few days and it will mostly be in when people come back to germany for example in airports but for example above area in the southern part of germany has also announced that he will carry out certain tests in. borders for example as well all train stations ok thomas you mentioned this is been a very controversial very heated discussion here in germany over the last few days now one reason spain is not considered a high risk under yet new infections many of them have been traced back to holly holiday makers returning from spain now that doesn't give the appearance this mandatory rule will be evenly applied. and this has to do with this proportionality element that i mentioned however germany's health minister did mention yesterday that he was particularly concerned about the situation in spain if you look at the guidelines of the travel guides of the german government it still says that spain as a whole does not go beyond that limit for the german government to announce restrictions

but the government has nevertheless stated that it's particularly concerned about the outbreaks in certain regions in spain ok there is a background of course to this in germany is today marking 6 months since its 1st registered coronavirus case politicians are warning germany is facing a 2nd wave let's take a look at that. 6 months after defers corinna case was diagnosed in germany many people are beginning to relax why germany is seen as having coped well so far the government continues to warn that the poorest may be yet to come. if now in the summer through our leisure travel behavior we cause a rise in the rate of infections or an overall infections then it will become all the harder to keep the situation under control this autumn. so far germany's

health system has not been overstretched by the waitress. over the last 6 months more than 200000 people in germany they are confirmed to have coronavirus and more than $9000.00 plus. figures a slightly back on the rise lately paul to show germans continue to support the cautious approach of uncle american government. hindered us i believe that the government has controlled the crisis well. spent that compared to other countries germany has managed. some india position i think the policy should be more focused under the economy to be honest i never like the word social distancing i appreciate the word physical distancing but it's important that we stay in contact with we are human beings we're social beings that we need to contact i think that is the 1st step that we have to look at of course

secondly to make sure that our economy still is running because without economy we would have no health and without no health we have no economy to concern now is that the holiday season me aspire to a 2nd wave of depend. ok with these concerns out there thomas how germany respond to a 2nd wave would we see broad lockdowns again or would they be more localized. the idea is that they would be more localized the overall goal 'd is to avoid general lockdowns now the decision as to when to impose pacific lock down the specific routes restriction this mostly in the hands of regional leaders here in germany and that's why these specific cases or outbreaks in regions for example now in bavaria being looked at very carefully by regional leaders to see how german leaders have to deal with it in particular what they are doing for example is increasing the number of tests or also increasing precautions but this is mostly up to regional

leader was the idea that goal as i mentioned is to avoid overall lock downs in the country is something of a learning curve there thomas sparrow for us thanks very much thomas let's get your brief notes on the other stories making that is today's the spanish prime minister peter sanchez has called on the united kingdom to reconsider its decision to place returning travelers under a mandatory 2 we quarantine due to spain's spike in covert cases called the move disproportionate and said most of spain was safer than the u.k. on the day when you. malaysia's former prime minister. has been found guilty of corruption in the 1st of a number of cases brought against him. a court convicted not 7 charges related to receiving nearly $10000000.00 from a state development fund he's promised to appeal he could spend years in prison. it's to washington d.c.

now where lawmakers and family members have been honoring the late democratic congressman and civil rights pioneer john lewis a ceremony for lewis has been held inside the refund of the capitol building where he's the 1st african-american congressman to lie in state he died of cancer earlier this month at the age of 80. bidding farewell to a friend those who work side by side with the late john lewis paid tribute to his life and legacy. the 17 term congressman from georgia was a pioneer of the civil rights movement remembered for his on wavering pursuit of a quality for all. they would all down was a person of great that's he also was a person of great humility always giving credit to others in the movement. john committed his life to advancing justice and understood that to build a better future we had to acknowledge the pest. house speaker nancy

pelosi spoke of lewis is a man revered and beloved by foes sides of the political aisle. his body is lying in state at the capitol rotunda where lawmakers are members of the public a lock can pay their respects. to be a great man. is the joy for our civil rights and. it was neuer so so many of our generation nowadays needs to look back and learn. how he helped to realize the ideals that this country was founded on that all men are created equal hopefully we as younger people will come together and continue to walk in his footsteps and carry on that mantle. arriving in washington on monday representative lewis took a final tour of the capitol. his motorcade made

a symbolic drive down black lives moto boulevard but as time of heightened racial tension in the u.s. mourners lined the street to honor the late congressman. our recording at the late civil rights icon was played one last time for his fellow room make his. never hate. living piece. meal 1. 1 people i want to thank you very much. i wanted to go into the world to read by. i'm joined now for more by d.w. stacey bivins good morning to you stacey eve morning you've been following the commemorations inside the retard 1st for us lose began his is career as a baptist pastor he was a stalwart of the civil rights movement that's right who started out in the early sixty's risking his life bodily harm to try to bring equality to all americans and

this is one of the reasons why he was so beloved because he was genuine and his love for human for other humans and he was determined i mean arrested 40 times as an activist 5 times as a congressman never gave up because he felt like america needed to live up to its promise and to have a more perfect union and so this is why he's so beloved that even though he faced racism state sanctioned brutality various forms of white supremacy he never saw the years away from his message of love and he never viewed away from this message of nonviolent civil disobedience which he referred to as good trouble is such an important message for america right now when we see the country so divided so unable to speak with a common voice on so many issues right now do you think that was a person who would have been able to bridge this difficult divide murtha seem right

well i think he's proven that he could do so i mean he has he's been in congress for over 30 years as i said he's was an activist and he was essential and bringing the voters' rights act on the civil rights act. and opening up a world to african-americans like me who would have had the life that we have if it was not for him and when you look at how he was honored in the rotunda nancy pelosi the speaker saying that he was beloved and reviewers. across party lines and cinnamon surety leader mitch mcconnell also talking about his great character you see how he was able to touch people from different parties and it wasn't just a political thing i think that what's really powerful about who this man is is the fact that people on the street still follow his example decades after he was beaten and arrested of nonviolence of standing up exactly what you know character so

important you mention that as part of his legacy what i was using will be part of that large i think part of his legacy is the black left matter movement there's no surprise that his his casket was stopped on black last matter boulevard that's a strong signal that he supports this movement and that he was really hardened by the diversity of people black white latino asian native american all coming together with one voice across the country i think that this is his legacy i think that people like me are his legacy i mean i come my family comes from the deep south mississippi and my mom's brothers and sisters would tell me stories about walking and seeing black people hanging from trees about being chased a verbal e assaulted and being afraid to look a white person in the eye like i'm doing with you right now as a fear what could happen to them come a 4 way yeah so i was half a century no exactly and we have him to thank for this and this is part of his

legacy and it's an ongoing journey did of you stacey bevan's been slice of very much stacy for coming in on this today you're welcome. or staying in the united states for our next bit of news now 3 major league baseball games was postponed monday night due to a covert 1000 outbreak all this at a time when the new season has just gotten off the ground at least 14 people on the . miami marlins team of tested positive for the corona virus but according to various sources the marlins were those the baltimore orioles at miami season home opener monday night instead marlins players are staying in their hotel in philadelphia after finishing a series there tuesday's game is also off meanwhile the new york yankees game was filled out if those one day also postponed prevent the visiting yankees from using the same clubhouse the marlins did over the weekend. is reminder of our

party noises this must be it. in a clearing the 1st people begin to gather. they've already started dancing. but the center of the party is probably father away people are streaming into the bushes we follow them. and there it is dance floors in the middle of the bushes people dance close together without masks the party is wild. like i can't get. enough. pounds parting here to. he'll talk to us if we don't show his face. or no. corona is not an issue in the house and haida since march it's been that way

since the beginning. of the parties here have been going on for a while i don't think there are a lot more than the usual 30 percent. it's now half past 2 in the morning more and more people are arriving how many it's hard to say maybe 400 or 500 the fact that it keeps raining doesn't slow down the event the party is well stocked people have brought their own drinks drugs and umbrella andrei has also been here several times 3 weeks ago he discovered the party for the 1st time ever hear of him busking her bass boat ok so something is happening here i didn't know what and i was curious and started following the sounds i was walking around behind where it was happening and all of a sudden i came to this clearing and saw a crowd let's say 500 people and one man with a big speaker they needed a new car battery everyone chipped in money so that they could afford one and then we kept on partying all night so that was back in the day that was

a little more critical with this now everything is a bit freer i have a great feeling now that i have is going through it at the time he was still concerned that people weren't paying any rules. on classes and yeah sure that's kind of critical and you shouldn't do that but in the end you're human too and you're young you work you still have time and some will be over soon then you do things that might not be so smart really the answer groups facilities or. another party goer tells us they were 4 police fans last week but the parties keep going on but not always up to today the group can party without interruption at about 3 in the morning we leave the time the. do you reaches its high point these people plan to keep on dancing until sunrise. the parties like these are legal in berlin with up to a 1000 party go as if they keep a distance of

a more i'm john buffalo ny he's assistant professor of social psychology at the university of heidelberg good to have you with us now do you sympathize with those party go us or other complete it irresponsible i don't know or. they can see plausible explanations. even right now i mean even if they look for example at cosmos survey by. the chinese threat appraises people is visually and don't don't feel threatened in the morning i once believed it cost the interest of us really trying it and is this a problem that really just applies to youngsters to young people i mean what about those holiday makers that we've seen in spain are all straight out there parting without a care what is their excuse. me 1st come back to the youngsters and i think for them it's actually it is a problem see i confused why you write i mean if you once corporation no g.s.t.

behaviors you need trust as opposed to. trust originates in one thing from. me i understand what you need what your needs are in the needs of youngsters that i think a particularly underrepresented in the public discourse that ranges from a decline of corporate restriction cost sexual activity into cannes or to organise working events the inability to celebrate degrees from university to travel or even . fridays for the future is bright are still. so so you're saying partying is also to a large extent just an expression office tray should. it is of particular interest with ostomy this that they don't take their cost seriously and now. perhaps even talk about it and different party goers in my aco even birds of

a 100 and i mean here he be the context is really part of what i mean we tend to think that the behavior bureau is what people are and what they really desire but i mean if you why do the street people will speed up and if you increase plate sizes we eat more and if you vote open party locations people will party it seems to ask them not to do so if they have the room to do so but so so what sort of thora t. said politicians do i mean case numbers are rising again i think and it's it i mean if it comes to party rant i mean that they have to seem to regard whether they really want to allow credit. and in addition require social distancing or physical distancing as it should because i think and if they want to have more hope aeration not in the party but overawed they should communicate in terms of

communication for trust besides and stating that you know in the needs of different people what you have to do is be really transparent about what groups and what does not work in the actions you take but isn't that where empathy comes in which has nothing to do with a plea. and yeah if you need it and to see i mean from the standard policy makers embassy needs that you have x. or embassy for different groups in the population not for citizens as a whole and i mean the cost to an interesting behavior is the general and it. seems and your. visit here is the regulations i mean they seem not to worry any more for everybody. groups minorities people that you cannot reach that more and then important to reach their important to region with half a minute to go for. young people even though they don't believe it are also

addressed can that be communicated to them of course it can be transparent about the statistics you use about the experience you consult and they read it seriously right from the way of quotes now from the university of hydel back on the psychology off party revelers in times of the pandemic thank you so much. and now it's time for your questions to a science correspondent derrick williams. can inhaled steroids help in the treatment of covert 19 for example for people who also have as not. currently the only steroids being used to treat covert 1000 patients as one called methods on though it isn't inhaled and it's only used to treat people who are in very bad shape and need respiratory support i think that what you're referring to is

a group of other compounds that made headlines last week called interferon they're signaling proteins that play a key role in steering the body's immune response by acting as a kind of frontline defender one thing they do is warn an infected cells that an invader is around so those cells have time to shore up their defenses source code to appears to be able to block the interferon perspire bonds kind of allowing it to sort of rampage unchecked so the idea is that by administering interferon based drugs through an inhaler at just the right moment you can cause the immune system to work not only as it should but also exactly where it should in the air passages and in the lungs initial results from

a non peer reviewed small scale study appear extremely promising but it was also conducted by a british drug company testing their own formulation so there will definitely have to be a lot more corroborating data before we can say anything for sure. and derek williams will be back tomorrow which means you can post more of your questions to derek on our you tube channel and if you'd like to keep up with the latest developments on the coronavirus then subscribe to our newsletter go to be a dot com slash corona dash news letter. now then there's an interesting story from japan and i hope we have the pictures here because several robots which could help fight coby 1000 were unveiled at a railway station in japan the operators of the tac cannot gateway in tokyo they showed a disinfectant robot which cleans
