become neck legit and you know it's not given it's the latest results show that the population has become less concerned about the risk of code at 19 and not the public's acceptance of health and safety measures such as social distancing and mask has deteriorated i would like to be very clear how this situation develops is very much in our heads some cost bought into what it seems like this that have health experts sounding the alarm people in hamburg's famous red light district openly flouting social distancing rules officials have responded by introducing a temporary alcohol ban in parts of the city germany was one of the 1st european countries to return to something resembling normalcy but officials warn that the continued carelessness of a few puts those heart one freedoms at risk. i've told my interior minister if the numbers keep searching we have to re-impose tight restrictions. we have to make people understand that this virus is not playing around us this

summer holidays have added to health officials says popular travel destinations like spain are seeing new spikes as well raising the question whether germany will have to re close its borders oh if every country was in the european union is taking responsibility i guess we can award it so if you have for local hotspots of color on our i guess we have to fight against those local hotspots and not too close for now testing has been ramped up a german airport in the hope that the freedom to travel will turn into a 1st class ticket for covert to wreak further havoc on the country. earlier we spoke with margaret harris from the world health organization and asked her whether the surge in new cases in germany results from people letting their guard down. i think what's going on is that people really didn't understand that when lock

downs were eased this didn't mean you're out of school it's over we even don't even read the 1st 2nd waves because the fact is the fires that's always been with us it's it's come down but it hasn't come gone rolling out to sea it's always been there and it's been waiting for the opportunities we presented it when we realize we did what we do most of us we forgot the missives the very important message that this is a new normal this 1st loves the way we love to be together so this you do function differently. margaret harris from the world health organization now u.s. president donald trump has repeated disputed claims about the effectiveness of the drug hydroxy clear a queen in treating the corona virus that's despite his own food and drug administration revoking its status as

a covert 1000 treatment and warning of the potential risks of heart problems trump told reporters he believed the drug was safe. but many doctors think it's extremely good and some people don't some people i think it's become very political i happen to believe in it i would take it as you know i took it for a 14 day period. and i'm here i happen to think they still in what i've read i've read a lot about hydroxy i happen to think that it has an impact. this. comes just days after twitter and facebook removed a video containing misleading claims about the drug and i'm joined now by d.w. reporter joel roy has been following this why is trump talking about this drug again well the background to all of this is that over the past few days donald trump has been sharing links to a controversial video about this very drug hydroxy chloroquine and now that video is created by

a group called america's front line doctors who claim to be physicians standing against the scientific consensus on coronavirus basically rebel doctors and in the video a group of people wearing white lab coats made some claims about this particular drug stating that it can not only treat but can cure covert 19 now those claims are not backed up by science there is no studies showing that this drug isn't particularly effective against covered 19 and in fact there are concerns that it could be harmful for people who have certain heart conditions but nevertheless it fits into this narrative that some people want to hear that there is a miracle cure they can get the economy back to what it was before so this particular video was shared by bright bought news one of donald trump's favorite media outlets and then trump himself started to tweet it as well as his son but because of the misleading and potential harmful nature of the claims in that video facebook and twitter deleted it not before some 17000000 people saw the video and

as you mentioned that has sparked a feud now between the administration and the social media companies were not a spark but continue. it's been going on for a while now and the background of that is that facebook and twitter about is strengthening their policies in relation to spreading misinformation particularly around the topics of the coronavirus and elections so they started doing so in march they started but 1st fact checking and then later removing some of trump's misleading claims and that's what they did in this case they deleted some of the president's tweets and in the case of his son donald trump jr they blocked his account for up to 12 hours until he had removed some of those links they did the same thing by the way to rudy giuliani trump's lawyer a few weeks ago also for spreading information misleading information about these drug hydroxy chloroquine and now trump jr claimed that he had been sensitive the platform's claim that they are trying to prevent public protect public safety now of course trump has been at war with twitter for a while now and it's continuing but it doesn't seem like twitter is backing down it

is continuing to take a stand against the president's misleading and potentially harmful tweets he did report a thank you. now roundup of some of the stories making headlines. after rescuing some $94.00 migrants in the mediterranean sea multan is reporting that at least $65.00 of them have tested positive for the corona virus that's the single largest cluster of positive cases detected on the island since the 1st case came to light in march. the man of maybe a year in the 2nd largest city in colombia has tested positive for the corona virus comes as the south american country reports a daily record daily increase of over $10000.00 cases its president has extended a nationwide lockdown until the end of august. hundreds of people are protesting in
