beginning on monday next week germany's health minister says the measures necessary to prevent incoming travelers from infecting others and from triggering a 2nd wave of covert 19 most parts of the world are currently deemed to be high risk by germany including the united states brazil russia and turkey. but germany is now marking 6 months since its 1st registered trying to virus case and politicians are warning of a possible 2nd wave. why germany is seen as having coped well so far the government continues to warn that divorce may be a to come. if now in the summer through our leisure travel behavior we cause a roy's in the rate of infections overall infections then it will become all the harder to keep the situation under control the sautter. so far germany's

health system has not been overstretched by the wires. over the last 6 months more than 200000 people in germany were confirmed to have coronavirus and mordor $9000.00 plus. figures a slightly back on the rise lately show germans continue to support the cautious approach of uncle america's government. and i believe that the government has controlled the crisis well. that's compared to other countries germany has managed. their concern now is that the holiday season may have sparked a 2nd wave of depend. so will it we're joined now by a long shot in bourg a member of the german parliament from the business friendly for democrats is also a member of the parliamentary committee thanks so much for joining us today is

germany already in the middle of a 2nd wife. no i don't think you have a kind of sorrow that as you described before that we have rise of infections by people who came back from their holidays in turkey or whatever but i don't think the average 2nd wave already ok now is your moment at the moment your due and it can sort it back into place do everything to avoid a 2nd wave and this has to do to do with what you described before that you should do some protection against the danger that people carry the virus from the holiday season ok now if your party leadership favors the mandatory testing we're saying for travelers arriving the country to prevent this possible 2nd wave we're talking about but some f.t.p. party members call this a 1st step on a dangerous slippery slope regarding personal freedom could these tests be a precedent for for other possible future measures like

a mandatory coded vaccination for travelers well we have very very few democrats very sensitive about anything which effects human rights on my personal freedom but on the other hand the protection of the house is a very high very important thing so if you have to accept something to avoid endemic ought to to minimize followings of the pandemic so you cannot say everyone is tree and can do what you want other people in danger to be infected then we have to do some measures against it so i mean they have to be would potentially support mandatory vaccinations. you know now if he thinks a nation should be should be free but we want to have mandatory tests those people come back from risk countries risk areas what other type of container containment

measures would you back should we see a further increase in infections in germany. the only thing that we want to specific measurements we had in the beginning at the end of march would be get the government began the general restriction for everybody everything all the shops were closed all the restaurants were closed big parts of the economy were closed i think that is that not not was not the best idea we have to do a very special measurements for example if you have a hotspot this should somehow isolated everyone should be tested there and. those who have tested positive should be in canton but i'm not a supporter of the whole country it should be in another not locked on lockdown that would not in a good idea villainous inboard thank you so very much for coming in for your comments today. ok thank you. let's get you briefed on some of the other stories making in the news this hour in pakistan heavy floods inundated ferrazzi they've

a man revered and beloved by both sides of the political aisle. his bodies lying in state at the capitol rotunda where lawmakers are members of the public a lock can pay their respects. here is the clinical before the moved to be a great man or is the joint owner who for our civil rights and personally most of whom are 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 2 of the capital. he's motorcade made a symbolic drive down black lives moto boulevard at

a time of heightened racial tension in the u.s. mourners lined the street to honor the light congressman a recording of the late civil rights icon was played one last time for his fellow role make his. never hate. live in peace. there was. one people i want to thank you very much. the words he granted the world to read by. i'm joined now for more by did abuse stacey bivins good morning to you stacey varney you've been following the commemorations inside the retard 1st for us to get his his 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 has 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 such an important message for america right now when we see the country so divided so on able 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 i mean he has said he's been in congress

for over 30 years and 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. and it's an image already 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 characters so important you mention that as part of his legacy what else you think will be part

of that large i think part of his legacy is the black left matter movement there's no surprise that 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 verbal lead assaulted and being afraid to look a white person in the eye like i'm doing with you right now a fear of what could happen to them coming forward yeah so why don't we just half a century know exactly and we have him to thank for this and this is part of his legacy and it's an ongoing journey to the abuse they suburbans been snowing so very much they say for coming out on the story you're welcome. a former prime minister
