to force this week the government has reversed its call for workers to head back to the office. if it is possible for people to work for a moment encourage them to do so meanwhile hospitals in spain are battling western europe's highest court 1000 castell. health officials are considering whether to expand a lot don't light to include the whole of madrid. some of the families confined to their homes are confused by the mixed messages. i can't quote but i can go to drink. in munich germany the annual beer fueled fest was cancelled but the drinking holes are still packed the good cheer belies the worrying sojourn coronavirus cases in the city officials have no said masks are mandatory in some squares visit to hear this i have to control it and abide by the rules must be punished not 10 euros but 100 or one sows and. munich like much of

europe is no wrestling with coronavirus all over again and hoping to defeat it without shutting down public life entirely. earlier we spoke to the chair of the global outbreak alert and response network at the w.h.o. dale fisher and we asked him how prepared countries are for a possible winter spike in coverage $1000.00 cases it's a funny question to be asking in september is and. it's really quite disappointing i guess to have these sort of numbers going into the colder months and as you've just pointed out that there really need to be some things done to bring these numbers down or else you're going to be right back where where you were. in in much and. there's nothing fancy it's all the same things that we've known about for a long time it's a solution of cases and strict quarantining of of contacts we

should be able to do much more efficient contact try saying different mechanisms and the other thing which we we didn't know at the beginning of this outbreak was the effectiveness of mosques and and across asia. across asia you really don't see people not wearing masks people still not immune most people are still vulnerable to this so you we know what happens if a we mustn't have short memories we must remember those those are all months what happened and what happened in the north of italy what happened spine. and i'm sure many parts of germany. they'll fisher there from the world health organization. france reported a record high this weekend with more than 13000 new cover cases in 24 hours well the government wants to avoid returning to full lockdown and instead is banking on

physical distancing and other measures to keep public life going for students were turning to university the restrictions come with their own challenge lisa lewis reports. it's a start of tongue like no other at this university in a suburb north of paris. despite the strict anti covert measures these economics students are happy to be here. 2 weeks of it will it's nice to be back at university this just shows that despite the virus life continues. our university has done what's needed to adapt to the situation we have split into 2 groups and have them online classes every 2nd week and every 2nd seat is off limits and we have to wear masks although that is a bit of a nuisance. quite a contrast to the holiday season during which many people lowered their guard most of francis' recent coated cases are amongst young people some peace diplomacy believe. many of us travel jenga summer after all the virus is less severe for us

young and if many need to get it to be heard immunity the young should get it the footage. the government has only given basic guidelines to the universities each institution has had to come up with its own detail plan. hours in grids masks social distancing online classes and we have to. because of these measures we won't have to shut down if students test positive for it because there are no contact persons at least at university i read a. book called dark but the number of infections has been rising across france more than half of the country has now been declared a red zone with at least 50 new day. infections per 100000 people compared to just a dozen in neighboring germany local governments can impose additional measures in these like temporarily closing baths and restaurants and yet social distancing and

locally adapted strategies won't be enough to prevent another lockdown says these biologists. france doesn't even have a testing strategy for example to test those who work with vulnerable people such as the elderly the only way to control the epidemic is to systematically travel down and isolate infected people for that we need to come up with a national strategy is the most simple testing methods such as self testing and group testing and we need to test massively it all suited for this must see what despite the challenge the country faces these students hope the economy will stay open they'd like to continue to enjoy parisian cafe terraces where the risk of infection is. local bodies to quote this is like a little patch of paradise we can meet our friends here without masks and have a drink. that we need to stay united in these hard times it's important to stay in

touch and form social bonds even if it's just to meeting up in small groups in fact that it's not certain this pleasure will last for very long though the country strategy does allow for local lock downs and paris has one of the highest infection rates in the country. let's take a look now at some of the latest developments in the pandemic of the us a public health body the c.d.c. has withdrawn a guidance saying that fine aerosol particles floating in the air may spread the virus the retraction has sparked concerns of political interference mexico past 700000 confirmed corona virus cases but officials say the overall infection rate is still slowing down and new zealand recorded 0 new 1000 infections on tuesday there are now only $61.00 registered active cases in the country. now to some other headlines from around the world china has sentence and influential real estate

ongoing coronavirus pandemic is posing major challenges for this year's event the organizations that secretary general called for greater global cooperation but major countries like the un's host nation the united states are more often acting on their own facing what some have called a crisis of confidence the u.n. markets 75th anniversary. a spouse crowd in new york gathered to celebrate the milestone moment with a coronavirus pandemic largely forcing the event online striking a positive tone the u.n. chief praised the organization success over the last 7 decades now how do you more than history if we've gone so many years without that military confrontation between the major problems. these are going to be achievement of which member states can be brought and which we must all strive to preserve. the un's most

powerful branch the security council though face heavy criticism its often power lies by vetoes and disagreements in a clear snob u.s. president donald trump did not show up or even record a video message instead the host country sent its acting deputy representative of the united nations has for too long then resistant to meaningful reform too often lacking in transparency and too vulnerable to the agenda of autocratic regimes and dictator said in a recorded message german chancellor angela merkel called for further multilateralism and even an expansion of members to the security council to stay relevant if i'm not so in the united nations can only be as effective as its members are united. cancel is all too often deadlocked when clear divisions are required before we need reforms one with the un must continue to develop in order to muster the global challenges of the 21st century. as the un faces questions

whether it's still fit for purpose many feel it's the right time to assess its strengths and shortcomings. and let's talk about that with our chief political editor. it is not an easy time for the united nations to be marking its 75th anniversary i mean how much pressure is the u.n. under right now. it is under significant pressure we saw that donald trump didn't show up or didn't send a message for the celebration of 75 years of the united nations and has a lot to celebrate i brought my old book in to just illustrate that because after all here is what the 1st sentence of the charter of the united nations says we the peoples of the united nations are determined to save succeeding generations from the school board of war it has achieved that world war 3 didn't happen so i'm told you good terrorist the u.n. secretary general has every right to point towards that but the big question mark

is whether the u.n. actually will deliver the kind of unity that is required to tackle the challenges the world is facing right now covered 19 climate change for instance and the threat of a new world order where we clearly see the united states facing off with china its leader xi jinping actually did send a message and he positioned himself as the one championing multilateralism while we saw trump sending in relation to that very junior differ much to represent the united states who then had a lot of criticism for the u.n. so a lot of infighting behind what was supposed to be a big birthday celebration we saw the german chancellor angela merkel there calling for members to act more united when she directing those comments that particular countries and leaders. well she delivered a video message that was rather general also in its criticism but of course she

means donald trump she needs the united states she's clearly position to herself in the past as being part of the west that europe needs to be part of the west and stand in for those very values well again this little book is fill you filled with those values so with international human rights with western values which is also criticism that these very documents of the u.n. received from countries that feel they are under represented particularly those developing countries who want to have more of a say kofi annan of former secretary general he was once mocked by mr love of the russian foreign minister as having taken weeks and months without really reforming the un when god created the world in 7 days and he said then replied that he was had the advantage of acting alone and it doesn't look like the un will have the

kind of strength in any near future to reform itself which is so severely required to even tackle those challenges the world is facing right now speaking of reforms we saw the german chancellor also calling for changes what is her vision then for the un. well she does want to see that will for reform she's offered that germany would be prepared to take on more responsibility it's of course played a greater role this year as being part of the norm or having a nonpermanent seat in the un security council that is in need of reform for now it seems to be more of a body of blockers who are the the united states over time and russia blocking any major action by what is known as the world community but that seems to be losing power as we speak with many different nations putting themselves 1st not just the

united states our chief political editor mr erlich is not thank you so much now in conjunction with this week's gathering at the united nations climate activists are getting together to push politicians on the climate emergency scientists are clear on the impact of manmade global warming and populations around the world are being affected. ravaged by fire large swathes along the west coast of the united states have been devastated this year's wildfire season has been one of the worst ever more than 11000 square kilometers of forest and towns have been reduced to ash and rubble entire communities have gone up in smoke all of a sudden the mountains were just a blaze a few days ago you know. to the east and i was worried about it and all of a sudden it just came across without anyone you know i couldn't believe it.

in brazil to the number of fires in the wetlands of ponce and more than doubled in the 1st half of 2020 compared with last year. then there is bought a guy crater in the siberian arctic around a kilometer wide and 100 meters deep it's been created by the melting permafrost when organic matter melts it releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and that speeds up global warming. the. on a small scale the processes we are seeing with crater are happening everywhere where ice melts under ground the ground subsides that's taking place to look at that so when people look at the bus like i took crater they can see the perfect example of why you shouldn't joke about the permafrost. rising temperatures caused by the climate crisis are leading to more drought the result is more and

more intense wildfires grounded planes and nearly shuttered industry because of covert 19 saw daily carbon dioxide emissions fall globally by 17 percent in april compared with 2019 but levels are now increasing again experts say action is needed now. but i think there's also a chance if it's not all the right measures are being taken if we invest into. transport that we can avoid getting back to the previous levels but this requires political will with the activists and climate advocates do to take part in 20 twentieth's biggest climate event this week in new york they'll want to kick start that elusive political will. earlier we spoke to stefan stoff who heads up the earth a system analysis group at the part some institute for climate impact research he argues that if the paris climate goals are to be achieved and missions cannot

continue to rise beyond the end of this year missions are still rising but they should be falling by now because what counts really here is what we call the cumulative emissions that is the total of c o 2 that we have emitted since the beginning of industrialization and what that means that every year where we get more carbon dioxide to the atmosphere means that we also have to reach 0 emissions early to still reach the same climate all say the goals of the paris agreement and. already the last report by the intergovernmental panel on climate change has concluded we need to have the global emissions by the year 2030 so we only have 10 years to cover the emissions in the house and that means we have to start now we can't even afford to lose a single more year. now rescuers in australia are trying to free nearly 200 whales stranded in shallow water off the island of tasmania 25 of the mammals

have been freed so far but an estimated 90 have already died this after 2 large pods became stuck on an underwater sandbar there is hope that the other pilot whales can be freed over the next couple of days. extraordinary scenes as almost $300.00 pilot whales peppered the shallow waters of tasmania's west coast. they became beached here on monday on sand outside mcquarrie harbor it's a location where these mammals often get into difficulty. and when you say large numbers like these it's not surprising they're very social animals and they are found in large groups also known as pods and force in this case we might have had a misadventure or some individuals may have navigated in the wrong way and now they've become stuck in stranded scientists believe up to one 3rd of the pilot

whales have already died but rescue efforts to free the rest continue despite the difficult conditions we've got animal spread over a large area in a little challenging location so are we going to buy she can be tied to the animals with the base change to start with then the ones that we are able to do we saw some animals might be simply to be in and out to look like asian 2 to texturally d.u.h. . pilot whales a response she's of a psionic dolph and they can grow up to 7 metres long and weigh up to 3 tons that makes freeing them even harder. beached whales can quickly overheat and their muscles deteriorate. over though this rescue mission could take several days everyone involved knows it's

a race against time now sports fans in england have been dealt a big blow plans to welcome fans back to premier league football matches in october have been scrapped due to rising corona virus infections but that is not the case in budapest where the u.a.e. 1st super couple kick off on thursday it is a showdown between last season's champions league and europa league winners in this case byron munich and sylvia the push cash arena will be peppered with fans at 30 percent capacity but with coping $1000.00 cases on the rise in hungary some german politicians are sounding a warning about the match. getting tested for corona virus at the allianz arena byron munich are offering the test for free to fans planning to travel to budapest for the u.a.e. for a super cup they can even get it done in their car hungary requires a negative test to be allowed into the country but last week german health

authorities declared the hungary and capital a risk area causing hundreds of byron fans with tickets to cancel their trip to various premier expressed his concern about a potential super spreader event i'm super cup marcum if i'm very worried about the super cup when 2 to 3000 people from munich and the region fly to budapest and budapest has an incident rate of $100.00 there's a high infection rate there at the moment and we have to be very careful that we don't risk creating a football if skills the. group that is q.m. . there was the austrian ski resort that turned into a coronavirus hot spot last winter it's a scenario no one wants to see repeated in budapest. byron's opponents in the super cup spanish side sylvia also offered free testing at their stadium you a facade is it's using the event as a pilot to try bringing back fans to games and that it will not take risks with people's safety but it made that claim before germany declared budapest

a risk area. now in tokyo haunted houses are a popular form of entertainment but since a coronavirus pandemic there's been a new twist on an old tradition providing a socially distance or experience for coven times and a warning here some might find a story socially disturbing. know the coded pandemic hasn't moved into a zombie apocalypse this is live in detainment courtesy of take your scarce quote and it's a haunted house with a plot twist it's a drive through experience. just get ready for the slow as we started this driving because we can't get close to customize a traditional haunted house. so now we got even closer because there's only a window between us it's way closer than before like standing nose to nose many

customers say they've never been so close before they're. going to do it i take them boys. those stories and hold it houses a popular in japan especially in the summer months. but in times of social distancing if you're looking for a live action hala this is the only game in town. the 13 minute performance isn't in your face feel a fist in the comfort of your own vehicle or get somewhere which when customers use their own cars they don't need to get out of the middle they enjoy the show and then go home with a car straight afterwards. it's a novel format but the pandemic is forcing the entertainment industry to innovate to reach paying customers. and most the leaving this haunted house happy especially after the cost of zombies oh plane the blood off their windshields.

are you ready. better watch close because the bundesliga is packed get ready to feast on the action. so can all be a motions of a new season. welcome the return of the 5 nearly 46000 fans attended in person over the weekend for now stadiums are permitted to be of 20 percent possibly on less covert 19 levels become too high. for what happened on the pitch. dortmund cruised by a mention right back with their fearsome young for some of the front. and their top flight return people felt that their best friend or frankfurt. coach dakar put up a good fight against trying very. hard new make up and their title defense by annihilating poor shelter in the campaign curtain raiser what does barnes big weight on match day one really mean for the league at large to find out now on kick

off. it's a new season and anything is possible but let's be honest we all knew what was going to happen and he. had won that previous 21 competitive matches in a row shall because last victory came in february and despite having finished the previous season just 4 weeks ago by and were in the mood to break some miraculous shots of. the triple winners picked up right where they left off search now free escape to the shelter defense and slammed in the now. the go came in just the fools minutes making it the fastest in a season since 2002. and it was a way to do it. the next goal was even more painful for the royal places laon

gorecki made it to one of st. for mashal the players in the by an 11 alongside a rice and a and manuel neuer the midfielder was left on his own his old club were getting picked to pass. and they're defending didn't help lunging tackle from woods on come back then handed by in a penalty. picked himself up and converted for his 153rd does a good goal for the client that takes about a 2nd in that all time top scorer list behind only the great get in there. the battering go west right after the break as brian's new old german wing partnership combines to make it for nail said they had far too much pace to shout that and cannot pray took advantage of his house you. know much later almost a carbon copy and i said how can that be again to make it 5 and complete the 1st bundesliga have track on sundays debut the interplay between the 2 groups back

memories of robin and franklin betty. performing for licorice i feel great but more importantly the team start of the season with a great performance before and never stop going forward. and then by and read the sausage showboating robot leavened ski pulls out a rebel net to set up thomas millar the assist of the match day perhaps even the season topped off by miller's 1st time finish. if you're a shock a fan and he's made it this far we can only say he. knows he had ever scored 7 goals in the opening match of the season but have now clear voice and they rounded off his defeat by scoring on the council his transfer from man city already looks like money well spent. and a day for breaking records was complete when jim on the c.l.o. crashed home buy ins 8 of the 7 year old. ok brian's youngest ever going to see

a good old school run truly this was the perfect way to start the season. the game is so one sided summation our brain couldn't be enough. but it's doubtful anyone it shall couple see the funny side of things the defeat was the biggest in the league since the 19 sixties and 12 even teams like barcelona comstock expire and this was a big killing miserable shut. your opposition figure who got a proper thrashing you saw we have to put it behind us and move on into a victory. for the champions questions about their dominance and what it means to the league will start even earlier than usual this season they've now won dirty and drawn one of their last 31 games in that kind of form someone that if any team can

even win a point against. the good. from 11 dusty is the winner of our inaugural best move of the match they can say great for this outrageous assist but what a wonderful robot. crazy i was a bit angry to be honest because he didn't score me took a bit too long but then mostly he made a great assist the 4th almost think it would go on instagram they were. just a tiny bit more graceful than somebody is you'll find of the buy and start on social media. that the kids are going to use a gold. mine. they see based on sleeves to the young guns of the legal robots club.

dortmund have doubled down on youth in their ongoing quest to break byron's dominance the black and yellows have 4 young guns up front targeting the title the freshest faces 17 year olds signed for 26500000 euros from birmingham city tenders giovanni raina he's the same age but already has a solid half season of on this league experience under his belt. in holland has also played just half a season here in germany brazil already asserted himself as one of the league's top strikers despite being barely out of his teens. don't forget the veteran jaden sam show positively ancient at 20 years of age dortmund's tough assists provider last season and their top score. and that meant the starting front for facing an average age of 18 and a half young raina was trusted with the 1st corner of the match for delivery that

didn't impress his slightly older teammate i can really win anything with kids. you know i think a little bit in beginning maybe you saw that we lacked experience but i think once you know we all kind of relax in the game you know we have a lot of quality and a lot of energy and a lot of fun together so yeah it's amazing playing with the young core group and that young core finally combined to great effect in the 35th minute. gio raina with his 1st ever been this new get go set up by betting and with his 1st deceased the bat was an obvious chemistry between the 2 teenagers and even holland found himself praising a younger teammate the by only need to say a couple words and that's. is the american dream. and i don't need to say more i in the 2nd half dortmund kept up the pace as raina raced down the pitch with news full exuberance i perhaps with all the excitement he tumbled

a little too theatrically to the ground a rocky. move or a shrewd one the american drew the slightest bit of contact to buy a fell from the v.a. our experience beyond this years. but the next folly of youth was around the corner son cho and howland bickering about who would take the penalty that sort of stuff shouldn't happen on the pitch but hollande got his way and stepped up attempting to get his 1st ever goal from a bonus league penalty spot. that he did dortmund have never lost when he scored in the league maybe that's why he got his wife against such a. discord in the last game and i had a good feeling today and yeah it was. it was a nice penalty and. they were nice to score a little light hearted infighting isn't usually tolerated but dortmund do things differently. because i shouldn't have done things differently he left last season's prolific young striking jew on the bench and

a son play out and marcus to they only came on after almost an hour of play with dortmund 2 nil up. and a 3rd soon followed let's let gio reign and give us the lowdown i mean jayden picked up the boat already cut off. the ball really well really made a good run by the defense you know as a it was a great finishing this you know kind of look to go to. that goal really gives us the breathing room and you know finish against us. for the fans a joy to watch and also the camaraderie between their young starlets dortmund's had the highest attendance of the match day the modest but memorable comeback was the most beautiful thing about this match day seeing fans back where they normally put on. the view simple game it's just not the same without the fans.

oh. welcome back to the bone this nigga stuttgart after one year in the 2nd division they secured promotion by finishing 2nd season coronavirus restrictions their

supporters couldn't celebrate with them at the time. but this weekend it wasn't just the team making a big return the fans were back in the stadium too and some were alive to enter the ground so what can we expect from stuttgart while it's a young side so they'll be leaning heavily on their players with born this league experience. like midfielder. captain comes a low cost draw. their opponents on much they won were freiburg side missing a few key performers from a season in particular the sale of at lease a goalscoring burden on mills peterson. and lucas her. being 15 different shook up coaches in the 9 years christiane strike has been at the helm at freiburg but you never want to game their perfect opponents for the new boys time right. or wrong at least that's how it looked early on when roland some eyes crossed 5 pages and i was just too easy for freiburg giving the. much space to

a fox in the box like pison is asking for trouble. which took guards were no lambs for the slaughter they came agonizingly close to equalising in the 15th minute see that's a shot cleared off the line by don many kinds. in this league if you don't take your chances you get punished and so proved after 25 minutes roles reversed for freiburg as peterson's effort spilled into size coffee tonight. and that's the half time whistle went so the stuttgart weren't so thrilled to have their fans back coach pelligrino market out so knew his team had to up their game in the 2nd half. again so efficiency is a virtue in the bundesliga and freiburg had it in spades on this occasion in chances before made it 3 nil in the 48th minute despite a decent performance it was looking like a miserable return to the big time for stuttgart.

it was only desperate defending and no small amount of luck that stopped things getting embarrassing because the mountains goal line clearance almost can end in off his teammate roberto mussina. could that good fortune spark a turnaround perhaps 20 minutes to go to thank you. such as cut the deficit runs their hopes for a point chris 10 minutes later i hope you can believe thanks to see us as poulos in front of goal 32 freiburg on the ropes and stuttgart still 10 minutes to claim and morale boosting equaliser. deep into stoppage time it looked like they might just get it turned out wrestled anton to the ground shortly a last gasp penalty was coming somehow both the ref and z.r. said no. freiburg knew dave had

a stroke of luck but. didn't care his 1st victory here is a coach clearly meant a lot. of frustration was plain to see. but with the fighting spirit they showed in the 2nd tower they could have a lot to look forward to this season. despite the result it was enough to win their farms over. from one newcomer to the other. i mean were runaway 2nd division champions last season but their return to the top flight after an 11 year. even if the street people who defied the ban on away fans were ready to make some noise. and a half 1000 socially distanced facts fans saw the hosts dominate the 1st half but with nothing to show for it the visit.
