ends it. malaria must. live. this is g.w. news from berlin returning to restrictions governments across europe increased efforts to contain the spread of the corona virus europe has just recorded its highest weekly numbers of new infections since the start of the pandemic there are plans to curb travel from viral hotspots and the czech republic is imposing a state of emergency beginning at midnight also coming up through it they say i

could feel. it. to several. the u.s. president is back on the campaign trail and boasting about his recent negative coded 19 tests that is drawing harsh criticism from the democratic challenger joe biden just 3 weeks before election day and soccer superstar. has tested positive for the virus he has spent the past week with the portuguese national team he was supposed to play for his country on wednesday. i'm off to all of you joining us on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin with the pandemic here in europe european union countries have just agreed on

a common strategy for restricting travel from coronavirus hotspots ministers meeting in what some today said that they want a traffic light system. showing regions as green orange or red depending on the number of coronavirus cases they hope to avoid the kind of confusion that disrupted travel across the e.u. at the height of the initial outbreak earlier this year. our let's take the story now. she joins me from brussels good evening it's a huge barbara so talk us through these european coronavirus traffic lights. it's an attempt to bring some order into the chaos that was as you said the sort of . that was to be seen earlier this year at the 1st the 1st round of the corona virus hitting europe what countries are not trying it to do is use the same data used the same criteria to determine whether you can travel from point a to point b.

for instance germany has a travel warning against belgium where i am at the moment but france does not have a travel warning against a 4 belgium so why is that because they sort of set the point where the thinking country is dangerous at different levels now that is supposed to change in the future countries are supposed to send their data to the european health agency in stockholm and they are supposed to be correlated their european travel map should come out every week who was countries being red orange or green so then you could go from green to green but from orange orange maybe just if you do a corner test and so on and so forth however the problem is criticism arose immediately because these new rules are only voluntaries voluntary countries aren't forced to do them to obey them and so therefore this may work better things a bit but it would not really be

a solution yes especially if it's not compulsory there barbara stand by we're going to take a look now at one of the e.u. countries hardest hit by just new surge in corona virus infection. there is the czech republic where officials tonight will impose a 3 week state of emergency schools bars and clubs will be closing to at least live in brazil her it is a dramatic reversal of fortune for a country that emerged relatively unscathed from the 1st months of the pandemic. right almost 500 people have died of coke at 19 in the last 2 weeks in the czech republic more than in the 1st months of the pandemic another 400 are in critical condition. because. i think people are not taking the virus seriously. medical staff at this hospital in prague are doing all they can to protect themselves nearly 3000 doctors and nurses have been infected with the virus

meaning many are unable to work. in clean and come in small hospitals where there are not so many stuff it can be problematic if one infection turns into a cluster. no other country in europe currently has a higher rate of infection per capita as the czech republic many let their guard down in the summer and became locks about protective measures like the wearing of mosques. if they say please wear a mask then very few people will do that it was recommended in the holidays but no one more a mosque the ability to put a chimney effect then you do when you get in and. the government has decided to take action theatres cinemas museums and gyms have already closed and even tighter restrictions go into force from midnight. bars no have to show us and restaurants

can only offer takeaway it's another heavy blow for an already struggling hospitality sector. in brussels we saw right there severe restrictions in the czech republic but they're not the only country in the european union that's taking were actions are that. the netherlands have just announced very similar measures because so with belgium the netherlands are the 2nd or 3rd worst hit country in europe at the moment and it's very similar picture there people didn't want to obey the rules anymore they thought ok this is for somebody else doesn't concern me they were really lax now the government meant and really has really had to fairly harsh or partial lockdown bars will be closed restaurants cafes a public transport should be taken only if absolutely necessary and public life

will have more or less come to a standstill you're not supposed to be have more people than 3 in your home as guests and so it is a really severe reduction of the social life in the netherlands now and it is just short of a complete lockdown marc rich of the prime minister has warned his citizens and has said it is in your hands now you really have to show responsibility because the health minister also said after 4 weeks of this partial lockdown if it doesn't help if the figures don't go down the country may have to return to full lockdown and that is a threat that you hear he's everywhere in europe at the moment not only in the netherlands because spain and france are also struggling and it might very well end up if these partial measures at the moment don't work out everybody hopes they will we do that they will especially because we were just real on the corner if you will be used for a proposal on this work force in brussels or thank you. well no where has the

pandemic claimed so many lives in europe the way that it has in the united kingdom new infections there are growing at an alarming rate especially in the north of england prime minister boris johnson has announced a new system of designating high risk areas such as the city of liverpool the situation is so dire there that new lockdown restrictions are set to take effect in the coming hours. is not so it is for this pub in the northern english city liverpool after 3 and a half month lockdown at the the pubs and bars here are once again being told to close their doors new restrictions are coming into place the cross the north of england bringing a new wave of darkness to both businesses and custom it's. like a very depressed local shop down. about a stock picking up 6 books shuttered open to get lucky that she made friends of a couple of the. children in the. right. place to the

states or to what. he did. with this code which you shall help to shoot he didn't shoot shoot. but he's fine the question still sleeping is a qualification to steal some of the polish. like money on a phone he says even paying rent will become difficult after days of one says and see things the government in london in spain in business is in the new world and it's hard to screw this fall hard they have let people fear the worst before i'd known what help they will not even speaking to local leaders until the very last minute consists of horrible played over and normal times never mind when everyone's afraid of over the top and the next but there's no getting away from the case numbers liverpool has one of the highest paid rates in europe along a the. u.k.

now has more hospital admissions than before it went into lockdown in march and it's never to go other cities will follow in liverpool's footsteps before anybody enters the restaurant we have a temperature gauge the water temperature in neighboring manchester award winning restaurant in a hidden scenes doing everything she can to keep her doors open she's living every day on my thing. i didn't know whether to water stock for this week of august. i don't know whether to take bookings there even know whether i should open a 4 lot you can't operate when things are so uncertain you don't know what they're going to be open or close to the lady in red is my grandmother lily quark and she opened one of the 1st chinese restaurants in manchester even callen and his sister is a 3rd generation restauranteur as they're now facing an unprecedented challenge where already struggling if i'm honest it's not just me carrying the burden it's the entire family bustle of pressure and i don't want to let them down i don't want to

let my constables down and yet with the trading conditions i might have no choice but with every order right the model no it's called lockdown letters take away boxes and now one of just a few rays of light the restaurant has like helen we still have a whole lot of life to live and a whole lot of examples to set the message of your community holding its breath for more. worldwide the corona virus has claimed more than $1000000.00 lives it has also increased the threat of hunger for millions of people the united nations world food program says it will need $7000000000.00 over the next 6 months to help deal with famine amid the coburg 19 crisis last week the world food program was awarded the nobel peace prize for its efforts to prevent the use of hunger as a weapon of war during the cold 1000 pandemic the w.s.p. has dispatched supplies and food to more than 120 countries w.'s cheap

political correspondent linda crane spoke today to germany's economic cooperation and development minister geared miller about the dangers of people going hungry in a widening world food crisis mr miller the world food program has won the nobel peace prize and used the occasion to warn of a world hunger crisis how do you see the situation are we in fact heading toward a drastic world hunger crisis this freedom for me up women sing the final $1000000000.00 worldwide to really take care of all crises of the hunger crisis in africa is worsening due to the coby crisis and in india the situation has long grown into a hunger and poverty crisis from which more people are dying than from the original viruses which provision of utils economical. according to the study that

was published here in the ministry at an event today the world could be freed from hunger if industry countries would invest only $14000000000.00 euros more a year over the next 10 years 14000000000 not that much if you look at the sums that are being spent at the moment on economic recovery is feed that there is a lack of political will worldwide to be obvious because 14000000000 euros is not a global so it's not possible that if i compare that with our spending on. this year alone a moment spending has increased by an additional 70000000000 worldwide or so. what you say it's a question of political will how is the situation with political will in germany is germany ready to double its expenditures for development as the researchers recommended in the study. needs to be or not is germany ready and we've doubled the

development ministry's budget over the past few years during uncle america's time in office and we're investing more than a 3rd of our ministry's total expenditure in food security and the development of educational structures. i was be. i would set myself the aim of showing how to do it. good years good and for this need implemented 15 innovation centers in india and in african countries that promise and. bill gates said today in the course of the event here in your ministry that the absolute most important mechanism for fighting world hunger is support for small farmers what is your ministry doing quite concretely to help them. invest the euro in the last thing in the centralised energy supply in the countryside of the what the

study also shows which is of central importance which we're also doing securing property rights to i'm sorry creating land registry as they're called in germany and then ordained father and i were also demanding equal access for women to land and property and to loans as well. mr mueller thank you very much for this conversation. our let's take a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world the world trade organization says the european union can slap tariffs on up to $4000000000.00 of u.s. goods over washington's a legal support for plane maker boeing it's one of the largest penalties ever imposed by the w.t. oh it comes a year after it authorized billions in terance against the e.u. over european support for boeing's rival air boss germany has pledged solidarity with greece and cyprus in their dispute with turkey over sea boundaries in athens

german foreign minister home os warned of turkey of a major setback in relations with your turkish ships have been searching for gas reserves in waters that greece and cyprus also claim. a huge bomb has exploded while being defused remotely near the polish seaport of sweeney we show no one was injured the 5 and a half ton device was discovered last year during dredging operations it was one of several bombs dropped by british warplanes to seek a german warship in 1905. u.s. president on trump is back on the campaign trail just a week since he was released from the hospital where he was treated for coded 19 trumps doctors say that he's tested negative for consecutive days now and is free to campaign again with just 3 weeks until the election trump is trailing his democratic rival joe biden in national polls. on the campaign trail after his own

brush with a religious donald trump is no trying to revive his reelection fortunes. tossed masks from the stage at the flushed of several events this week. following attendee separation from his hardcore fans it appears absence makes the heart grow fonder. i went through it now they say i'm a mutant i can feel i feel so. our file walking the walk and there are several what. while the thought lingered sought to alleviate any concerns the tightly packed crowd to me have about catching a virus. that i said to my people we are going to take whatever the hell they gave me and we get it distributed around to hospitals and everyone is going to have the same.

seemingly reinvigorated trump wrapped up the rally dancing with the crowd even as the tone jarred with a country in crisis. the contrasts with democratic nominee joe biden couldn't have been stuck on visited another battleground state one of several a socially distance events across ohio trumps handling of the pandemic that's donald trump's presidency 250000 dead because of crude experts say we're likely to lose another 200000 people in the next few months unless we take some serious action and he doesn't know what he's doing. because his presence only worried about one thing the stock market refused to follow the science it's estimated we just warnings mass nationally we save over $100000.00 lives between noun and the end of the year. biden himself is now heading to florida with the

election day just 3 weeks away both campaigns are in overdrive. are to washington d.c. to blanker is on the story for us today good afternoon to you carlos so we got the president in florida yesterday today it's pennsylvania and then on to iowa what are we looking at a just a normal schedule for a candidate 3 weeks before the election or are we looking at the schedule of a worried income but is far behind in the poll. you know this is this is a pretty normal campaign schedule where in the final stretch now as we've heard this 3 weeks until election day and this this is what candidates normally do it might seem a little unusual to us because of the copa tryst but in any campaign here really that you know wouldn't be 2020 and. presidential candidates do it to at least one campaign event day at this point sometimes even 2 or 3 yeah i mean we can't rule

out the risk of the pandemic here at these rallies that we've seen just like the one in florida we've seen very little social distancing some people wearing masks others were not. how does that look to the american public i mean does that help trump's chances of getting reelected or hurt him. as with almost anything these days in the united states you've got to say it really depends on who you ask so democrats are appalled at this they're saying it's reckless behavior and they're angry too because these people that you see at at the trump rallies you know they go home after this and they stand next to other people for example in the grocery store so the risk doesn't really end as the israeli is trying to supporters on the other hand don't really see a problem with us and you know they're saying this is a sign of their personal freedom they don't have to wear

a mask if they don't want to and the virus probably isn't that dangerous anyway because trump had it and he's fine we know the judge has been able to raise a lot of money in the last week or so he's also spinning a what would be donald trump on campaign advertising how important is that money this late in the campaign money is extremely important in the campaign and as as mark hanna said a senator and 896 and i quote there are 2 things that are important in politics the 1st as money and i forgot what the 2nd one does and that really hits the nail on the head i mean biden and trump as as presidential candidates in every campaign are basically running a campaign or they're basically running 50 campaigns if you will in each of the u.s. states and they need to mobilize their base they're still trying to win over the elusive elusive undecided voters and that costs money. or.

all destroyed force in washington thank you. the frankfurt book fair is one of the most important events on the global publishing calendar but the trade fair normally operates with in person encounters but the pandemic has forced the closure of exhibition halls pushing nearly everyone online going digital was a huge challenge for the various organizers take a look. last year more than 300000 industry professionals and visitors came to the frankfurt book fair it's the most important industry show of the year some 7500 exhibitors meet this year because of coronavirus the trade holes are empty the book fair has gone digital the message in the music and the trade fair holes won't be the same this year as well as a decentralized event we've had to come up with

a relatively large scale digital concept and most. many publishers said they'd interview their own authors and then present the results at the fair. of the numerous digital platforms industry professionals from around the world can communicate and present their authors and see a selection is extremely diverse from stosh chef jamie oliver to whistleblower edward snowden veld and fung the fizz political stage is this year all about europe and its culture is naturally it's online. because of the emphasis on the digital some creativity gets lost there are a few random encounters for example picked the great thing about physically being here is that i can look up to my shoulder and see what's going on 10 meters behind me to counter that on line. 2020 s. guest of honor i canada has postponed its physical presence at the fair until next

year instead it's presenting a culturally diverse offering online including books on its indigenous population the 2020 frankfurt book fair is an experiment but will it remain an online event in the future. we're trying to figure out what works digitally how the economic transactions work how does the public interact with the digital elements of course we will use whatever works at this year's event next year the future is looking more digital anyhow but the desire to mix with others in person is unlikely to disappear any time soon. soccer superstar cristiana were no positive for the coronavirus and will not be able to play for his country in their nations league game against sweden on with state all of the other players on the portugal team have tested negative. but they've tested negative so far but that doesn't mean a whole lot joining me now is to discuss this further is the use of the fully so what more do we know pablo well we know that christiane are naldo

a long with his team mates have had multiple tests in the past 7 days so he came back positive on monday and what happened was that normally the team would have a training session on tuesday morning but in fact that they did was they put out so that the rest of christiane are not as teammates could actually have another test taken and they all came back negative now what's interesting is that on monday kris jenner and all the post of photographs were actually going to see it very soon which is on social media he posted a photograph of himself along with a number of his teammates i say lunch what it appeared we can see it now it's going to come in of course this is you know the typical image that we see and we're always hearing you know you shouldn't get together with a group of people i know this the it's very clear there that he was in close contact with the rest of his team mates. and then posted it on social media now what we do know is that himself is the very faith person he feels fine he said and

he's asymptomatic and the rest of his teammates can continue on as normal and play in the team and they're going to be facing sweden on wednesday and that's not the way you see the picture though you have to wonder if you have to be thinking of my going to be the next one who gets a positive test result were number of course it is not the only player to test positive for the coronavirus me what impact has this virus been having on the games well a couple of players in the portugal team was tested positive in the past few weeks in fact a team that plays for you event as in italy they also actually have players at the moment to. tested positive for corona virus we've seen the impact here in germany where you know people have been allowed into stadiums they've tried to restrict the number of people in stadiums here in germany but that's the case across europe and also you know it's even led to games being postponed and obviously a lot of concern amongst people about you know people are coming together and these players are coming into contact with other people and we're not just talking about football or soccer you're right no not at all and fact of the italian the cycling

competition that taking place at the moment 5 teams have seen members of their team actually test positive to 2 teams in fact have decided to actually just completely leave d'italia and this is not just in cycling but also across the atlantic in n.f.l. the n.f.l. football league has actually been forced to reschedule 8 games because of the number of corona virus infections so certainly worrying. public as always thank you . this is g.w. news from berlin after a short break i'll be back to take you through the day tonight campaigning for the white house campaigning against the corona bottle.
