a surge in cases there democracy activists say the government is using the pandemic to clamp down on protests. and german police think for a 2nd day as they investigate the disappearance of british toddler battling the county to guard assault to be linked to a man identified as a suspect. i'm brian thomas great to have you with us today as corona virus cases rise and parts of europe governments have been reimposing restrictions just as many people take their summer holidays to europe is looking for a more coordinated response as national governments act alone to contain the virus will get some analysis after this report. gets high season for tourism in europe region terraces are glowing museums are open again cation ors

have returned to the beaches. but with the 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 reporting cases there rose by almost 1000 on monday tourists in barcelona were not happy with the news i think steve the idea of the. life of that live on the beach and seeing the suffering your so nice. now look i want to come again isn't 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 us. 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 that reader in brussels bad 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 fulfill 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 romania and a few hurt the germans considering mandatory checks at 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 distillation 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 that shows you all the distractions that on plays and all the forms you 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 has and also the borders of the sole responsibility of the member states of the you cannot do much but coordinate but that's also sort of going on financial advise 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 authorities are considering imposing another complete lockdown could 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 seeing 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 up in 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 lies still more ahead when we come to fall and winter dan thanks so much for that from brussels today. well south korea has reported an uptick in new delhi cases of drone virus there were 48 on tuesday but that's still very low compared to many other parts of the world early in the pandemic south korea was badly hit but swift action brought the infection rate down dramatically certain groups are most likely to infect others have been targeted have with preventative measures and that includes students and most of them seem to be listening. to young south koreans are increasingly sensitive to the potential they have to carry and infect others with coded 19 even

if they are not suffering from serious symptoms these university students say they do not have the virus and they go out occasionally but behave much differently than they did before the pandemic so we're all thinking i have sensitive so i catch a cold often and have a runny nose and sneeze a lot and these may be symptoms of company it also has a systematic cases so on afraid that i'll homme others so i'm careful and a mosque. so korea is concerned stems from several events in which individual carriers caused a large cluster outbreaks. the plight of the $81.00 shopping in entertainment district in seoul demonstrates the potential economic impact of a super spreader cluster break in early may reportedly a symptomatic virus carrier visited several bars and nightclubs in the area

hundreds became infected with kobe had 19 and businesses here still haven't recovered. the government is now looking to reopen some so-called high risk then use all those strict antivirus measures will be enforced because when you know so we have 12 types of facility including night clubs and karaoke rooms that are designated high risk in such a place was operates under customer will be required by law to follow prevention guidelines including keeping a visitor log. and practicing sort of ventilation and disinfection which when you come to the transmission of the virus by nice into magic your ears remains a contentious issue some experts believe so-called super spreaders lied to authorities when they actually had covert $900.00 symptoms still such events have generated stronger adherence to prevention. the taiwan clip incident had the

biggest impact on me because the pirates had almost disappeared with the little cat i thought things could get better and i hoped i could get to school next semester it was hard for me to see the current virus situation get serious again after that class the outbreak. south korea's new cases this week again dropped below 50 per day but everyone knows just one event could change the situation dramatically. let's talk more about super spreaders now with kim step in a professor of bio complexity as university of copenhagen thanks so much for coming in kim your work sheds some new light on super spreaders what have you found. well we have that super spread us shortbread us 1st maybe define super spread us they have they have persons that in fake much more than other people and the south korean shop i was was a case of case of that but sure were spread as could also be ready if they force i

got together with many people they would of course when i was or in fact many people in a short incident in contrast to normal spread us which priority are not bay infectious in this case the course or were spread out carrying most of it so should persuade us and really damaging our own super strength is that or that are asymptomatic that don't don't don't have any symptoms are a particular threat aren't they. of course then in a they they don't know it themself we and it's not that they are criminal or anything it's just. where the disease sits and tropes and maybe how they how they. how they have insulation is screwing how they speak maybe they shout high as shout a lot or they they do things like that and that's a little bit on your show and so no they're not particularly guilty of anything except they were under could you have the disease and then producing another virus

again we. continue here when we talk about super spreaders and asymptomatic super spreaders and we have to take into consideration all the europeans who've had it all for this summer holidays right now that means beaches bars restaurants isn't this exactly the type of super spreader event threat that we should be concerned about. some of them we should be concerned about where you also have to consider how far do you go when you're at a super spread out how far can you transmit the disease around your maybe you can trust me did i don't know somebody does if i meet us or something like that it's not that you take the whole beach here and take some beaches around you it depends on how the air is around you whether it's humid how how much weened it is inside it seems that most of the super spreading events is inside boss is probably bad we know that sitting is really bad shouting is really bad if you don't say anything it's not so bad probably so so it's

a it's and then but maybe that means listen i want to emphasize is that if you don't know whether you are super friendly you can beat it any time so you should behave as if you are super fred and and that what you should do is is not meeting and out of people. you should meet people but if you meet the same people again and again and maybe your work colleagues are few friends and your family then you were not do that much damage ok and and that's that yeah thank you very much and one where one went ok finish your thought please come well and then if you are forced to go out in and be together with many people you should have a mosque and most of these german is doing that right we are not really doing it and then my because we say we have won but that's maybe a little bit sure were. premature ok can snap and professor of by a complex city in copenhagen thanks very much for that this.

now for some other stories making the news at this hour programs have started arriving at islams holiest site in mecca saudi arabia for the start of the harsh this year's pilgrimages dramatically downsize due to draw a virus last year 2500000 people from all over the world took part in this year's numbers are limited to about 10000 saudi arabian residents. after rescuing some $94.00 migrants and mediterranean malta is reporting that at least $65.00 of them have tested positive for the virus that's the single biggest cluster of positive cases detected on the island since the 1st case came to light in march. and u.s. president trump has repeated his defense of hydra i drove ox a clerk when for treating corona virus this after his son was blocked on twitter for retrieving a post in favor of the drug doctors say there is

a lack of evidence that it's effective from said media reports were directed to reject the drug only because he has supported. well hong kong's leader kerry has warned that the city's on the verge of a large scale outbreak of the virus that could overwhelm hospital stories of them and new and strict measures which they say are to curb the spread of the disease the new regulations include a ban on public gatherings of more than 2 people and mandatory face masks in public places the territory reported $106.00 new cases monday bringing the total number of infections to about 3000. we're joined now by phoebe kong standing by for us in. phebe how are people reacting to these strict new rules that have been put in place where you are. indeed a plate of

a government since the outbreak beginning i think yet. law like most of the people in the fifty's have been used to wearing light like no matter what they thought oh no a month already but on the other hand it could be no you didn't cause more people might think that you don't think the way like i am today like before band like signing he now back. to actually fall all the way the bottom line places out so have the lunches and dinners and more importantly somehow and famous on the general public have plain i for the blame the the the the exceptions on one team for call thing the way off in fact they are now demanding the government to cut off all the extensions for one team for certain essential personnel including the fee to an actor who opts them to compulsorily quarantine in order to close the

loopholes and stop 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 a 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 whole government local media. that happened and now considering to put the i doubt coming to what you actually are for like as these ideas. these this be along like so many activists specially put out there and think that they found it this could be like something. like that this kind of buy them like that but it is we report that we have read that the government may assume the election and the nomination period has already started like the authors of kind of

they have already signed up for the raise. the government made void all these summits a nomination that nomination here to help you will have to be thought again if the election is less money yeah and more importantly the government may also hog the bases that it makes them in the mind like crowding out of anything wrong like if the election is that a lot of controversy we expect in the coming days that the government may make official announcement like a make coming to d.v.d. thanks so much for that from. here in germany police are digging up the garden for a 2nd day as part of their investigation into the disappearance of madeleine mccann the british toddler who was 3 when she vanished on holiday in portugal 13 years ago despite attracting global attention this case has never been solved. a 13 year trail has brought them here

square in the people's italy. a note or performance of the oprah tosca with the backdrop of the sea in naples sung by the greatest diva of our time. it's a heady mixture. it's the view that life c.t. is bringing us more even more in the future. it's the 1st such performance worldwide since opera houses shut down during the pandemic to bring us jacmel katrina's classic the complete on some left some carlo in favor of the fresh air it's a logistical challenge the musicians must stay socially distanced and there's no stage set with the normal grand jury singers like on a trip and her husband uses a vase of how to perform with added intensity. it's
