but 15 veteran states have agreed to. issue a. minimum fine for infringements against requirements to wear a mask of 50 euros we've said that we want to put these fines in place for public transport and. long distance trains as well and we have asked the ministers of transport to look at how we can put this in place. i'm joined here in the studio by our political correspondent nina ha's are following 'd this very closely for us today good day to you nina. there will be no relaxation in corona regulations that's what we've gotten so far from the press conference what changes as of today 1st of all they've extended the issue that there are not going to be any. there's not going to be a live audience in sporting events until the end of october there's a commission that's going to look into whether that might be possible to again to

open that up again and then they're going to stop the free tests for people returning from risk areas currently the german government is paying for those tests they are also looking into changing the rules for people returning from high risk areas so hopefully by the 1st of october they said they're going to have a system in place where if you travel to a high risk area and you know it's a high risk area and you come back you have to go into quarantine basically your loss you have to makes all the conclave in compensation from the state so is it more personal responsibility for your actions when you're travelling when you're returning and in terms of paying for the testing exactly what else there was also discussion about the mass public events what exactly is not going to be possible to go to if you're a concert goer theatre lover what's the story there was theatres are beginning to open again there are currently lots of tests conducted. by researches also testing

big live events such as concepts to see what hygiene concepts need to be in place for those things to happen but if you talk about things where people roam around freely and say take a. trade for example there's just no way that they can guarantee that people don't get into close contact and that is considered too risky so that remains banned until the end of the woods knew as well as the johnson was talking about and electronic entry system what can you tell us about that electronic entry system will make it easier for the authorities to trace people that will have to be filled in if people return into germany from their journeys abroad because of course currently we have a system where people have to fill in a full handwritten form that will set applies to restaurants for example but nobody's going to stop you if you put in mickey mouse there's no people no person there who's going to make so that young already making us you know brown thomas and

so of course when people come back from risk areas and there's very clearly that the recent figures have shown that a vast portion all of those infection clusters that we've seen lately comes from those people returning from abroad and so they need to be able to trace people and of course even if they arrive with a negative corona test that doesn't mean that they don't have the virus it just means that when the test was taken the virus didn't show ok so there's questions with the testing its viability in terms of determining where we are really with the rate of infection there's also the desire to keep a mobility open as much as possible that's what the jones was talking about but you also pointed out that there are still questions remaining about private parties private gatherings what are the rules there they say that one of the groups that are bringing the virus. into the country the making infix in numbers rise

again is return knees from abroad but also here over the summer we've seen infection rates rise considerably with young people and you know people who went to a wedding or who sang with a choir it's a trend so the virus spreads in these private households and so there is a debate going on because of course some regional leaders have said but i can't limit the amount of people that allowed to gather in their own homes if i haven't seen infection rates go up in my area and so this debate i don't think it's over i missed something but they just said mikel said and i think that was sort of sums up what she had to say please people is it absolutely necessary please ask yourself do you really need to be in doles with more than you know a necessary amount of friends and if you do think it's absolutely necessary that makes sure that you have enough air in the room so what's news we have the final

1st uro's we know that the current guidelines are going to continue big gatherings are going to be banned and that the discussions are going to continue in the months ahead yeah and we have those new rules for people coming back to germany from the quarantine rules and you know thanks very much for following all that is today and a lot of work for exciting out ok we're we're here in the city of bilin now with our next story and the city set of the berlin senate has banned an upcoming weekend protest against corona virus restrictions exactly what we've been talking about here now they're citing concerns about spreading the virus at the berlin city halls ortiz broke up a similar protests earlier this month when thousands of people did not observe physical distancing rules among the protesters you or individuals the government says are members of various right wing groups. no mass no social distancing demonstrators against regulations deliberately disobeyed guidelines earlier this

a primary. was. its to russia and for the 2nd summer a row forest fires have been burning out of control in the russian province of siberia an area bigger in greece is said to affected by the fires several regions of declared a state of emergency. sure one traveled to the small town of the guy you could see a region where forest fires in the surrounding countryside are occurring with greater regular. regular drills keep the fire brigade in but guy running like a well oiled machine they are the town's final line of defense against forest fires . and when the threat of a forest fire comes within 5 kilometers of a town then we react but even if the fire is 10 kilometers away if we get the order to go my guys are always ready at the present. to be out there.

firefighters jumped into action in early july when this blaze threatened the town forest ranger is in charge of putting out the fire were overwhelmed. joined their effort as a local environmental inspector firefighting isn't part of his job description but increasingly hot and dry summers over the last few years have forced him to learn on the job some days he walks up to 20 kilometers through dense forest to map the spread of flames. the portion of this in that. this work is very difficult and it is a huge responsibility the fires don't have weekends or lunch breaks this year there were times when we couldn't sleep for 2 days straight because we had to locate the fire from burger to look at is a lot of the worth of work for. and of says it's often dry thunderstorms and lightning that start the blazes in the taiga forest authours were able to put this

fire out which was burning until just a few weeks ago but every year in russia huge sections of the tiger burned and many of them are too remote to reach and put out. the huge territory of is largely uninhabited that makes putting out fires that smolder in this remote region difficult and expensive a law in russia allows off the words to ignore fires in about half of the country's forests but scientists warn that strategy could speed up global warming because the fires are also a danger to the permafrost under foot. this much of. the destruction of plants life means that the permafrost is not protected from the sun's heat we need the permafrost to remain intact so we shouldn't cut down forests we should put out fires so they aren't constantly burning and we shouldn't inhabit much of the area covered by permafrost so that it doesn't decay.

you know. what. but for now many fires are simply ignored farmers from the region say clear days are few and far between. fires burn every year there's smoke everywhere there's smoke over there too. we can't lie around just because there smoke we have to work on the fields cut the hay there's smoke everywhere you can't hide from it. people here have accepted forest fires as a fact of life but if they're ignored they threaten to change the landscape and ecosystem in russia's arctic beyond recognition. now it's to nollywood the film industry in nigeria where

a controversy all new movie is being released online to evade the country's censors it's all about a love affair between 2 women nigeria's a deeply religious country made up of christians and muslims. outside of a lego's courthouse a lineup of alleged lawbreakers gay men heading for their day in court $47.00 charged with public displays of affection in a country that criminalizes same sex relationships elsewhere in that same city filmmakers prepare for an intimate scene between same sex lovers discussing relationships she took. on the gods of course. the film's director the actors all face prosecution if censors decide their work if they promotes homosexuality in the past nollywood has depicted queer characters as mentally ill or deeply troubled but the crew of the movie see their work perpetrating normal life for a sizable percentage of nigeria i feel like for
