. >>> in france the country is grappling with its own covid spike. cnn's melissa bell joins us now from parisiking, and do officials know the source of the current outbreak? >> well, take paris, for instance. what we've seen over the course of the last 15 days is a sixfold increase in the number of coronavirus cases. but most worrying perhaps is what's happening south of the country. many new clusters there. new coronavirus cases, large spikes there in the number of cases. and what we're seeing all around the mediterranean from france to spain to greece to croatia and even italy is that that lifting of restrictions on the internal travel of europeans has essentially led europeans in the month of august to seek out the sun and to go and catch coronavirus. this is interesting, jake, because this is a continent that is essentially pretty well dealt with the coronavirus outbreak. so far, lockdowns were put down pretty efficiently. now, these are governments trying to deal with this resurgence that comes from economies having gotten back onto their feet. and exchanges happening once again. the big
