the rest of the world. goes on billy's dream 10 putin starts august 3rd on d w. this is deja vu news live from berlin europe sees a spike in trying to virus cases just as many people had all 4 of their summer vacations as europeans head for the beaches the infection rate is surging again and restrictions are being reimposed we'll go live to brussels to get an assessment of what could lie ahead. also coming up on kong bans gatherings of more than 2 people in public following

a surge pieces their democracy activists say the government is using the pandemic to clamp down on protests. and police say this prevented a massacre at the door that stopped a gunman from entering a synagogue in germany has been replaced it will now form the centerpiece of a new memorial. i'm brian thomas good to have you with us today as coronavirus cases rise and parts of europe governments have been reimposing restrictions just as many people take their summer holidays there have been e.u. wide measures but there are concerns that national governments will be acting alone if cases continue to rise we'll get some analysis after this report.

it's high season for tourism in europe parisian terraces are glowing museums are open again vacationers have returned to the beaches. but with a recent rise in corona virus cases in several european hotspots governments are putting the brakes on holiday making the u.k. reimposed a quarantine on travelers from spain after a reported cases there rose by almost 1000 on monday tourists in barcelona were not happy with the news. to you that if you play in the back of the beach and see people suffering you also know it's. not often i don't think you meant it that i find that very excessive i'm enjoying myself and i feel safe but they've taken every precaution. to get the outbreak under control madrid imposed a new rule mandatory masks in public. and catalonia nightclubs have been forced to close once again. belgium is also struggling with

a new spike in cases the city of antwerp reinstated a curfew no one allowed outside between 11 30 pm and 6 am except for essential workers. germany fearing imported infections is requiring travelers from high risk areas to take a coronavirus test upon arrival german authorities are not ruling out the possibility of border closures if outbreaks cannot be contained. dozens off that's the job of politicians and the media to make it clear that the danger is not over when we don't get things right then we'll find ourselves in a 2nd wave which will also have economic consequences that's why we have to be vigilant most of your philosophy. it's clear that despite the heat of the summer the virus has not melted away but many are hoping europe has learned enough from the 1st wave to keep the virus at bay. so what lies ahead for more let's bring indeed have used riegert in brussels band good day to you can you can you fill us

in some more on the travel situation in europe at the moment are all of the e.u.'s borders open for move. no the borders are not actually all open every country has a different regime on its border in principle travel is possible but you have to food food some requirements but they are also bans in place for example people from luxembourg are not allowed to go to germany was out quarantine also the baltic states have been to travel from rumania and as you heard the germans are considering mandatory checks the border has been people come back from the hotspot areas in europe but i have to say that if you look at the numbers from the european center of disease control this morning actually the numbers are not that high there's a tendency of a spike of infections but far away from the spikes we had in the 1st of even

a pro may but nevertheless people are varied and the experts here in brussels say it's not the travel as such but how people behave in the distant nation and also at home that causes the problem so there's no appetite to close borders again it's very important to bring in that type of perspective right now and what about preparedness is the e.u. better prepared today than it was back in march to contain any possible 2nd wave i agree with you we need to be very cautious about how we describe this right now. but the european commission in brussels is trying its best to coordinate the efforts of the member states make this a very helpful vet site called reopen dot edu with that shows you all the restrictions that are in place and all the forms have to fill out to travel from bulgaria to sweden and things like that but the member states are still the sole

responsibility and to tease for imposing any bans or lifting or doing restrictions have and also the borders of the sole responsibility of the member states of the you cannot do much but coordinate but there's also a sort of dodgy going on financial advice the e.u. is. taking up loans to boost the economy in europe this is the kind of things the europe can do but the rest lies at the member states where you are belgium has been seeing a spike in cases there's so threatening actually that that's ortiz are considering imposing another complete lockdown to belgium cope with that but the government here in belgium is threatening a lockdown but they don't really want to have a lockdown because it would be detrimental for the economy in belgium and also for tourism so they try to bring in measures that would keep this in thing no

easy and people are not allowed to see as many people only 5 per week now and budget is hoping that this really do the trick numbers often better but they also not as high in absolute numbers at they were in april and may but it is very some it is a reminder that the pandemic is not over and there lies still more ahead become to fall and winter dan thanks so much for that from brussels today. let's get you briefed on some of the other stories making the news at this hour after rescuing some $94.00 migrants in the mediterranean is reporting that at least $65.00 of them have tested positive for the crow virus that's the single largest cluster of positive faces detected on the island since the 1st case came to light in march. u.s. president on trump has repeated his defense of hydro oxy chloroquine for treating coronavirus this after his son was blocked on twitter or retreating

a post in favor of the drug say there's a lack of evidence that he is in fact of from said media had rejected the drug only because he had supported it we could have people we could. german police are searching a garden near the city of hanover for a 2nd day as part of their investigation into the missing british toddler. office thought to be connected to a man authorities have identified as a suspect again was 3 when she vanished on holiday in portugal 13 years ago. well surgeon trying to virus cases in hong kong has meant more distancing measures have been imposed on monday the territory reported 106 new confirmed cases bringing the total number of infections there to about 3000 chief executive carry lam has banned public gatherings of more than 2 people and is urging people to work from home masks are mandatory on public transportation and at indoor public facilities.

we're joined now by phoebe kong standing by for us in hong kong good morning to you phoebe how are people reacting to these strict new rules that have been put in place for your. all these easy to help us nationals played out of afam and since the outbreak like beginning of the fall like most of the people in the city have been used to wearing by like i don't know many say you know i don't know a month nobody but on the other hand it could be no you think tom long people might think that you don't take away like that but i am today people are banned from life finding enough back. nationally on all the way to the top and find places out so have the lunches and dinners and often more importantly if i'm not helping and i

miss some of the general public have claimed i or the blame the the feeding themselves on one team book whole thing the way off infection that they are now demanding the government to cut off all the time zones for one team for certain essential personnel including the seat to an actual authentic compulsorily one team in order to plug the holes and stuff like any possible in important cases from the t.v. the democracy activists where you are say that the government wants to use the pandemic as as a pretense to postpone the elections that are scheduled for september could the vote be called off. to happen very very short from our own government local media that the government is now considering to oppose the. death coming to what you actually are or like as these

ideas these to be along like so many activists. freshly poured out the champagne that they found it could be like something. like that that kind of buy them like that but it was we we thought that we have read that the government made the election and the nomination here have already bought it like the kind that they have already signed up for the phrase that the government made void all the time it said on nominations out of hope nomination here to how you will have to be thought again if you act and that's been the yeah and more importantly the government may also have made to think that the line like out of the wrong night if the election is a lot of controversy we expect that in coming a day the government may make official announcement like even saw coming to t.v. thanks so much from hong kong. here in germany a door that prevented

a massacre has been removed to become part of a memorial this store blocked the way into the synagogue targeted by right wing extremists in the german city hall last year the government fired at the door repeatedly and after failing to gain entry shot 2 people dead after fleeing the scene. carpenter thomas still hopes this is a job he never has to do again 10 years ago every jewish community hired him to build a door and last november it withstood multiple gunshots those saved by the doors resistance call it a miracle thomas taylor spent 18 hours working on a new door in his carpentry shop. indian voice i am aware of how important this store is one that's why i'm paying even more attention than usual to all of the details whiteman's on. the attack left him in shock he doesn't want to imagine what could have happened if his door hadn't held he says

for a new one it's mr diest he's ever built was a sneak you know. i hope his new door never has to show what it's capable of you should never experience what the old door went through was. very cold or was removed and of a watch of a dozen cameras so quick the village community leader missed a moment. obvious i didn't even see it now there's no door. for the community for replacement of a door this is symbolic step towards normality of a live now as before in a constant state of concern. how does view i hope we will experience a time when we have a door is strong or weak one can open it and ends of a synagogue and jewish holidays and services other the door doesn't always have to stay closed needs to be doing it during this i'm so glad that. the anti semitic

motive behind the attack is something the city still has to deal with artist lydia ada wants to make sure this happens she has worked with children from the jewish community together they are turning the old dog into a monument news is that to this wish to me it's important that everyone can relate to what happened here. is not only for the jewish community everyone even those outside this place to think about this attack and remember the people who lost their lives that day. has been mentioned and. the monument will be unveiled on the 1st anniversary of the attack it will stand of a courtyard of a synagogue protected by the new door for the carpenter for a moment of truth is a job well done mastering this it fits at least small details can be improved to make it better fit for crooked walls has easier when the building is new. to me of course and folded 2 months he hopes this new door is never put of

a test. and don't forget you can always get more of these and other stories at our website and on our social feeds for now though for me brian thomas the entire team of experts. combating the corona pandemic. where does research stand. what are scientists learning. background information and news. our corona update. from the covert 19 special next on d w. i was issued when i arrived here i slept with 6 people in

a room. it was hard i was fair. i even got white hair. learning the german language to me a lot this gives me a little but unity to interrupt let's say you want to know their story gets her fighting and reliable information for margaret. today as well hepatitis day every year more than a 1000000 people die from liver cancer and so roses which of course by viral hepatitis. the numbers are staggering for a disease for which vaccines under treatment and now available. globally no i don't know but i do sweeney and see a fair trade 125000000 people but only one in 10 of those people have

been tested and only one in 5 have received appropriate treatment. the world health organization wants to eliminate hepatitis by 2030 but some experts are now asking whether the covert 19 pandemic could derail that goal. welcome to you covered $900.00 special here on the news i want to get jones in the end good to have you with us sars cove too isn't our only enemy amid the coronavirus pandemic viral hepatitis continues to claim thousands of lives every day worth remembering what we're up against. their own main strains of the hepatitis virus referred to as types a. d and. according to the world health organization millions of sufferers unaware of the disease. slowly creeps up on

them with an inflammation of the liver unbeknown to them all habitat is pathogens except for c. are preventable by a vaccine. the lack of testing also means many cases are discovered too late. and that for a disease that spreads easily and through poor food hygiene dirty water and lack of sanitation. the rest c. and d. are all spread via blood semen and other bodily fluids. i for more i'm joined by him care the spokesman of the german association off research based pharmaceutical companies good to have you with us please tell me how is the fight against covert 19 affecting the fight against hepatitis. it's affected in 2 ways really one is that the vaccination campaigns get interrupted in quite a number of countries because. the health care system is so

occupied with dealing with covert 19. the all the problem is that patients are afraid to go to the doctor because they are afraid to contract kovac 19 in the waiting room really and if they suspect that they may have got infected of some kind of appetite tease they don't seek diagnosis and don't seek treatment of course that is a phenomenon that we see this with a lot of illnesses heart attacks and so forth. is also known as the silent epidemic what actually do we need to know about it how how does it differ from code 19. well have a tie does this actually not one does the at least 5 different diseases and they

all calls by viruses of the have a different coles so. dangerous one so really the most dangerous ones b. c. and d. and. these appetite is especially b. and c. and i can be really silent as you are in fact it. for you without noticing you have no symptoms you'll feel well a ripping fine and only off to a year if when the virus of really. how much harm to your liver you'll start to feel sometimes that's why it's called fila right and of course there is no vaccine against hepatitis c. yet but there are certain drugs to treat patients as we'll talk about that in a moment don't go anywhere but let's just have a quick look at where we stand with the treatment for hepatitis c. and how this could perhaps also help 19 patients. around one

percent of the world's population 71000000 people have hepatitis c. . a virus is transmitted through infected blood for example from shared syringes toothbrushes razors and through unprotected sex. unsterilized equipment in tattoo studios there's also a risk it causes $3.00 to $4000000.00 new infections every year. the virus attacks the liver and causes an infection which can have serious complications such as liver cancer also ross says there is no vaccine but there are medicines to treat the infection for decades researches have given intense study to the hepatitis c. virus that could help in the search for medicine to fight cause that 19.

researchers at the university of mines in germany have fed reams of data into the super computer the computer simulates the effects of 42000 substances tested in hepatitis research against the corona virus the result for hepatitis medications contain active ingredients which could hinder application of a. a virus that discovery could accelerate the time to develop and other drug. of the german association of research based pharmaceutical companies ideally we find a therapy that helps those hepatitis c. and 9000 patients but what are the chances well it would be absolutely fantastic if one of those trucks what are you really suited to treat cope with 19 because we know them well we know about the side effects are minimal so these are the kinds of math that you really want to have. it just takes

time the supercomputers right at the beginning then of calls you have to verify those results in cultures for example because they're out of the. logical flow system is not a level of complexity above a computer and if it turns up get that you can use them in clinical trials so at the moment. from dramas actually different drugs. which contain antibodies which have been copied from antibodies found in the blood of x. patients x. covert 9000 patients so they seem to have the best chances right now in order to. cure well 900 patients is that one of the best shots that we're having right now.

it's suddenly one of the best shots and it's an approach which you can pursue fairly quickly we know how to handle and it all days we know how to produce them mass produce them with biotechnology and so if this turns out to be a good approach we can have a mass production of them and handling in the clinics quite quickly but these are just some of the many many approaches we have we have stopped counting at something $200.00 plus madsen's actually tests that fall the suitability against go with 19 among them some have a tie to smithson's right well that sounds promising and hopefully very soon we're lucky and find the right therapy for all those diseases well think of from the

german pharmaceutical industries association thank you so much for your time. oh you're welcome thank you. now then how are animals fairing in the pandemic that depends of course on where they live and how they kept to penguins young ones at the brookfield zoo in chicago are visibly enjoying being prompted by the staff perhaps just about a month ago and this is this they are thriving and growing fast brookfield susa indoor animal buildings of course have been temporarily closed to guests due to code 19. and the reason we show you this well we thought we share those pictures with you because many of you keep asking about animals and to 19 in fact that is the question that our science correspondent eric williams is going to answer now. what are the optics on infection and pat. this is a question i answered back in march based on

a pre-print study that has since been peer reviewed and published but because it's asked over and over i guess it's time for a general reminder the authors found that of the common pets challenge with the buyer as ferrets could be infected but weren't very contagious cats appeared most at risk of both developing disease and passing it along to other cats dogs on the other hand didn't appear to be very susceptible but other animals might contribute to outbreaks a lot of mink have been called on fur farms and denmark spain and the netherlands in the last few months animal welfare groups say well over a 1000000 after the discovery that they could contract and pass on the disease not only to other means but also very likely to pets like like cats the fear is that 1st farms could act as a reservoir for the virus and thereby contribute to future outbreaks in general

though current thinking is that the chance of transmission from. it's or other animals to people that it's quite. the infected mink cold on the fur farms in europe probably contract of originally from humans who work there. the coronavirus pandemic has also changed the lives of millions of goats sheep and camels normally they now get sold at major markets ahead of. the festival of sacrifice but this year fears about catching the virus are keeping customers away and faced with deserted markets livestock breeders and traders have turned to websites absence ocean media to showcase their animals the festival of sacrifice is one of 2 major holy days observed by muslims across the world including some 600000000 in south asia. well that's all still
