open again for the creation as 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 a reported cases there rose by almost 1000 on monday tourists in barcelona were not happy with the news i think steve that if you place the that live on the beach and see where people are suffering your so nice to. know if i want to come here it's been a bit i find them 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 minatory 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 and where reinstated

a curfew no one allowed outside the tween 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. in dozens of 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 if you 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. let's get more on the story now we have our correspondent and records standing by for us and brussels hi parents good to see you tell us more

about the state of travel in europe right now are all borders open. in principle they are yes they have opened for commuters and also essential travel and most borders also open for tourists but if you look close every country in europe has different rules and measures in place you cannot say everything is open for example people from luxembourg cannot travel freely there are some hot spots in rumania and also spain and people from there cannot go freely where they want some countries are blocking tours from romania. out of their country is so you have to look at every country if you want to travel in the website by the e.u. commission the chords he you reopen. which tells you where to go away you cannot go and do you have to fill forms and it's more complicated than the boards was before corona but in principle you can travel as of now what about the growing

concerns about a possible 2nd wave is the e.u. better prepared today than in march to contain new outbreaks. the european union is certainly learned its lessons since opening for travel again in june the british and agreed that they need a more regional approach to close borders again like it was in the 1st round of lock down is not the way they want to do it the german interior minister jose of us said yesterday he wants to avoid to put there to closure of borders at any cost you have to identify the hotspots and prevent people from these hotspots travelling in this is the recipes not most of the countries are following and some countries which are more strict like for example hungary and the baltic states that closed borders more easily but the big tourist this to nations like france and spain italy they opened their the infections rate i actually know they are not rising of shop

leave and then can you bring us up to date on the situation in belgium where you are in the country seen a spike in cases so severe that authorities say they might impose another complete lockdown i mean how would the country cope with that then the problem is the threaten that are locked on might be the last thing they they have to do to prevent further spread to but also business with them as the prime minister said she wants to avoid that is more threats to educate people to keep the distances and not to meet in large groups and to stay away from large gatherings the outbreak in belgium is confined more or less to the city of un ferb and the government here hopes the 2 could attain that but a lockdown is fog down the road but it is it is a harsh reminder that the pandemic is not over and that people have to be vigilant

while her parents were eating dinner at a nearby restaurant. the mccann's spent 2 years publicizing the case urging authorities to keep looking hoping to find their daughter alive finally in june a glimmer of hope investigators in times to suspect a german man who was in the algarve when the khan disappeared german authorities however said they were no longer investigating modeling the constance appearance as a missing person case but as a murder the persistence of her parents has kept this case in the headlines so have the resources both private and public investigators hope they're finally writing the last chapter of this one happy story don't use our pad so as he is standing by for us next to the garden in hanover where the police excavation is continuing thanks for joining us what is happening right now where you are. well right now literally the excavator the small bulldozers coming by not sure if you can quite

catch this here and this is the machine that was actually looking for possible evidence. at this lot at this at these small garden lots that are so popular in germany by so many people and right now investigations going on this is a big big moment here because he's taking away. possible evidence in a big container and it'll be analyzed at a central location if this is the 2nd day of digging there i mean what led police to this garden. well police say that the suspect in question who is serving time right now known only as christiane baybay being the 1st initial of his last name. is a suspect in the disappearance of maddie mccann and also of a dutch boy 25 years ago and so that's why they're here they're very being very tight lipped about the whole thing they are simply saying that you know they have

good reason to be here and that's all they're going to talk about right now i was here last night lights run all over the place here and. it's possible that they were also investigate drug through during the whole night although one police officer denied that when i talked to him i can tell you that this entire area here is a different kind of garden lot community than most most are governed by a management committee of other garden lot. in other words people who have leased the land here this one is different it's owned by one person and that person leases it to other people and they don't have to follow a heavy set of rules now you can hear a lot of noise here from this from this bulldozer moving possible evidence across a very rough terrain here in any case i call the owner of this entire lot here and i asked them for an interview they said not interested hung up on me and in other words people here have a lot more privacy if they want they don't have to so follow certain rules as that

crucial excavation work is taking place behind you mean what are police saying about the main suspect in this case. again there being very tight lipped about the suspect simply that you know they have good reason to be here and that this is in connection with the disappearance of maggie mccain and also meghan again and also what. and the possible connection with the suspect that's all they're saying. you know that apparently he this suspect had a heart here that had been taken down a long time ago but that he had built a foundation under the foundation is supposedly a tunnel according to a local newspaper here and that's what they're especially interested in. reporting for us in hanover next to the garden where police are executing excavating thank you for that update you're watching news still to come on our show separated by the coast virus we meet love sick couples hoping to
