a sharp uptick in new infections and he warned travelers that party tourism is irresponsible during the pandemic of tourists returning to germany from high risk areas must get tested for covert 19 travel warning is a major blow for spain's tourism sector travel operator 2 he has announced it's counseling old german package holidays to the region and has asked all customers already there to return within the next week. mail an island of silence this was the island in the middle of june when german tourists largely began arriving again after lockdown but it may well start to look this quiet again soon now that germany has issued a travel warning for the bill eric islands gens schmidt runs a small her tellin my oka it is many rooms a large garden and now big worries. today we received 3 cancellations because people are insecure or cannot afford to go into

quarantine when they come back from majorca or the blair garlands there is simply a great deal of planning on certainty. in the course of planning things enjoyed its potential to travel warning was announced after surgeon coronavirus cases across spain many here expected it but others were hopeful even for it so i talk like came here 2 days ago and realize that i am scifi here than in berlin or in brandenburg or on the baltic sea where there are a lot more tourists. it's you seem to like to we don't know whether we will go home again all when we will go home and what impact this travel warning will have previously $5000000.00 germans came to the island each year many are now likely to cancel their travel plans the current warning applies to all of spain except canary islands to put it loosely you could say turn of the lights low in the shadows will close the country is elusive feel it's very difficult for everyone because the

islands rely on tourists on the one hand there are the hotels then the retail trade where tourists go shopping restaurants bars pubs discos actually every business has affected your lives so you will the 2nd wave of the coronavirus came faster than many expected and soon it will be quiet again on my oka on the evening to sports and there is a thrilling champions league quarter final match in lisbon bones league champions barn munich hammer and spanish giants barcelona a 2 the game was close close to the public because of the krona virus pandemic but the bavarian still put on a show to remember. robert leavened fed thomas miller to open the scoring in just the 4th minute to get the party started for buying munich 3 minutes later david al about gifted barcelona a goal when he put the ball into his own net after that though there was no stopping the bavarians goals from even paris h. savage could not breathe and another from maryland made it

a comfortable for one at half time. on the months after they got in the team piled on the pressure in the 1st half and forced our opponents into committing errors we were also great at his action and counterattacking. after the restart luis suarez gave a glimmer of hope when he made it forward too but then biron scored seemingly at will strikes from yahshua came age 11. and a brace from philippe could seno rounded out the incredible 8 to final score a debacle for barcelona. of course this was a painful defeat the way it happened it was extremely painful for me. but it's especially painful because of what it means for the supporters for the club this harsh defeat. cross alona fans in this pub in lisbon were

devastated. i can't remember any result as historic as this and so sad i'm ashamed i have never seen anything like it. after this performance by aaron are through to the semifinals and the favorites to hoist the champions league trophy. result barcelona fans who want to forget very quickly while moving on formula one championship leader it was hamilton clinched a record extending 92nd career pole position at the spanish grand prix on saturday 6 time world champion hamilton has won the last 3 editions of the race and he was fastest in all 3 phases of qualifying on a hot afternoon i sighed barcelona his teammate voluntary bought us came in 2nd to lock the front row for mercedes hamilton's closest challenger max for stopping of red bull will start in 3rd. well political twitter fights
