A 2nd term edge again head of his europe friendly challenger what does this mean for the rest of the continent. Viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome tonight a warning about vacation and the pandemic there could be a renewed outbreak of coronavirus if tourists let down their guard on Summer Vacation German Health ministry spawn says that hes along by images of germans flouting social distancing guidelines while partying on the beaches of majorca sponsors the danger of a 2nd wave is real and he is urging tourists to follow the rules. On my all quest beaches holiday make his enjoy the sun and the fresh breeze but at night all the cool. Virus related rules seem forgotten on the party strip the socalled tourists drinking and dancing with few face masks and little social distancing to be seen. German Health Minister young man has expressed concern. Of course in this that we have to be very careful that the man doesnt become a 2nd girl what i mean by that is the risk of infection is particularly high when people dont stick to the rules. If the austrian ski resort was one of the 1st coronavirus hot spots from our praise ski parties the virus started to spread all over europe. The Health Minister urged holiday makers to save vigilant in order to prevent new infections if you dont. When i see pictures from the baltic sea resorts and there is a breeze and everyones looking out for one another bit i dont get nervous because. Thats when i see people partying and drinking out of the same bottles when people are hugging that of course increases the risk as weve. Said he understood that tourists are impatient after months of lockdown but that their behavior would increase the risk of spreading coronavirus and potentially trigger a 2nd wave of infections. When your card shes a reporter for the majorca daily boards and based on the Spanish Island did even see you when do so we just saw there are a lot of partying going on apparently without any social distancing what are the locals saying about this. You know theyre really worried brant because the fact is we had one of the strictest lock downs in the whole of europe everybody abided by it there were very few infractions and now were in a situation where we have hundreds and hundreds of english and German Tourists just doing whatever they want and not giving a damn about the locals and the police or not theyve say the police are not doing enough so its a its a really happy difficult situation because we need to resume your career is the lifeblood of the island but at the same time house is more important so its a very difficult balance to have to get right and at the moment as we saw at the weekend friday saturday and sunday party town electra in center no social distance a people drinking out of the same bottles passing them around to strangers that they didnt know. How gang kissing and dancing in the streets and not really giving any credence at all to the rules that have been set here and i dont know whether things like the minister changed today because your rules now youve got these rules now on a party island new york is known for being a party island where the local authorities were the naive in thinking that holiday makers would stick to the rules. Well you know theres a lot more to majorca than just people who party thats 2 to specific areas of majorca where that you have magaluf on one side of the island and you have had a problem on the other side of the island they both are Party Destinations but the rest of the island is not like that at all the rest of the island is very quiet very local and its very subdued and people respect each other so theres only those 2 areas that really that are the problem but the thing is that the crowds now have become so huge in the past couple of days that the police are finding it hard to cope so they are sending in elite forces to deal with the crowds in part of our mind and in my belief to try and quite things down theyve also brought in a raft of other rules masks are now compulsory in public spaces and it is 100. 00 euro fine if they dont wear a mask in the 1st couple of days is probably going to be a bit of leeway but after that no it will be very straight as also strict new rules on parties as well that theres a lot of illegal parties going on in the streets raves happening because the bars have been told that they must close at 2 oclock in the morning instead of like normal its 5 or 6 in the morning ok when they are card on the special end of majorca with the leaders there about the pandemic and party goers and holiday makers wendy thank you. Well from hardys to peru with over 320000 confirmed corona virus infections trails only brazil as the country with the highest number of cases in south america aside from placing a huge burden on perus Health Care System the pandemic is making it hard for some of the nations poorest residents to earn a living our next report tonight is from the capital lima where many people have been forced to find new ways to make ends meet. Arturo is afraid of infection but he has no choice he was laid off from his job in retail and now he sells plastic face shields his commission is 0. 50 per sealed and i have 3 kids i have to go out and earn money to feed my family. Corona has hit hard 70 percent of peruvians live day to day working as street sellers or in construction block that measures here were initially strict and almost impossible to follow some rules have been relaxed and then the rules hit the poor hardest in some areas outside the capital lima neighbors have set up soup kitchens. There are lots of children and old people in need most of the people here live hand to mouth here then you see nothing in the end of the idea intensive care beds are a luxury here the whole country has just over 1000 beds for 32000000 inhabitants doctors warn thats well below International Standards it was. Our Health System has been broken for years now were paying the price for having no real Health Policy for 4 decades. Oxygen tanks for sick relatives do it yourself medicine where the state has fallen short. And for more now we want to go to journalist sydney on table who is in paris capital lima see that report there we just saw immediate show some very distressing moments for lima residents you were on the ground help bad news the situation in the country. Its been terrible i mean the numbers alone tell you everything this is how the 5th i think it is but latest count number a large number of cases anyway in the world a country of 3132000000 Health Care System has been overwhelmed and the corrupt governments coronavirus hotline ah i know of cases where people have been cooling and cooling during weeks they found someone sick at home in the family and how to get through and some people are self medicating at home that buying oxygen acts falsely inflated writes its an oil crisis is enormous speculation. You know how to move the 1000. 00 for all of oxygen the last 24 hours and of course peoples of dark at home the estimate for the real tests all that salt and maybe Something Like 20000 ungracious that coronavirus that simple truth so far we also heard in that report that the country has 1000 Critical Care beds i. C. U. Beds for a population of around 32000000 people its hard to believe me how is the Health Care System coping with these these kinds of numbers and these numbers of infections. Well its been overrun certainly in sun places peru is now up a mic up up a middle income country though theres still plenty of poverty and hunger but as a proportion of its g. D. P. It spends less on health care than almost any other country and that in america and i mean one sign of that has been the number of i. C. U. Beds no one really knows the exact number of a full the content and when mike to all 300. Intensive care beds in the whole country the Health Minister says that number is now up to about 4800. 00 they want to get it to about 2000 but theres so much catching up to do and so do the time right now despite the high infection rates the country is starting to reopen isnt ready for them all thats thats the big question we distil average in Something Like 3000 or a little over 3000 new cases per day the peak back in may the worst was nearly 9000. 00 in a single day that we did on this pot so now for well over a month maybe even almost 2 months of well a month and a half of 3000. 00 cases. Its going down very very slowly but the economic pain here is just been so huge i think the although the government and peruvians is a strong consensus people are very all taking this this coronavirus very seriously but just the economic pain is its just too much for too many people and so the government i think feels it has little choice but to try and reopen at least partially the economy journalist simeon taiko joining us tonight from lima peru simeon thank you thank you. Well here are some of the main developments in the Global Health emergency the head of the w. H. O. Says there will be quote no return to normal for the foreseeable future in the coronavirus pandemic and is warning that there are no short cuts out of the crisis a new report by the u. N. Predicts tens of millions of people could go hungry or starve this year because of the coronavirus and hong kong has tightened rules on social distancing yet again after a sudden spike in corona virus cases. A long way to go that is how german chancellor Angela Merkel describes the work to be done if european leaders are to ever agree on a massive Pandemic Recovery package for the European Union today miracle hosted italian Prime Minister to step in conte here in berlin the 2 are working to build solidarity ahead of a high stakes summit this weekend in brussels e. U. Leaders will debate a big new budget and a proposed 750000000000 Euro Recovery Fund diplomacy in times of corona but the leaders of germany and italy practice so sial distancing theyve moved closer on policy issues the move made possible by germanys concession for europe to borrow more money to help rebuild after the Current Crisis without action economic forecasts are gleek. That is why we want to head into the talks and brussels in a spirit of great friendship and with great solidarity. We hope the talks will give us all the chance to come out of this big humanitarian disaster and also out of the ensuing economic downturn in the best possible shape. Conti has been touting italys reform plans here in music back they consist of an Energy Transition a Green New Deal the dismantling of italys notorious bureaucracy and improvements to its justice system. We need to move fast react quickly history has shown us that the best reactions arent worth much if they come too slowly its this thing that. Neither leader is willing to predict whether the upcoming talks in brussels will make significant progress deciding this could be the beginning of a long process. Well he has won the election again polish president. Is headed for a 2nd 5 year term following sundays election with nearly all the votes counted the conservative incumbent has won just over 51 percent over his rival the liberal mayor of course all. On sunday well before all the votes were tallied with just a razor thin lead president duda seemed confident hed win now after a campaign fueled by anti european anti german sentiment hes striking a more conciliatory tone isnt going to call it for us and by if anyone was offended by anything i did or said in the last 5 years not just during the campaign please accept my apology as if its the only way i want to assure you that i have respect for you just like i have respect for all my compatriots irrespective of their views of. This from a man who is a law and with the governing right wing populist law and Justice Party theyve made no secret of their dislike for foreigners sexual minorities and the free press. 3 points short the challenger rough rough ski from the centrist Civic Platform party is showing is seen as proof of a growing opposition in this deeply divided country he ran on a platform of pro european liberal and tolerant values. You know thats a nominee yes its only the beginning im convinced we will change poland that now that weve woken up you know one will put us to sleep my balls and whats most important to me will continue fighting not irrespective of the result. Due to israel lection gives the law and Justice Party a shot at governing for another 5 years during this time they aim to push through controversial justice reforms putting them on a collision course with the e. U. And for more now im joined by conti untruths in the polish capital warsaw shes a human rights observer with the organization for security and cooperation in europe the o. S. C. E. Cock its good to have you on the program your going ization youve pointed out many flaws in the election process in poland do you tonight consider the polish president to be a democratically elected leader. Right actually i would have thank you for having made a festival id like to. Turn this around slightly to say that the election was well run and we said that in those statements and say this is a difficult time so tonight is an election and it was well managed to track to term so well managed lection true says was the extreme polarization. And the like of impartiality in the public media which actually has a legal obligation to also in its reporting on my campaign and he recounted to. Which was missing and. The the hostility which hung in the air and the the negative campaigning which runs on particularly in the 2nd round and considering that we know that mr dude his Election Campaign has also been criticised for employing homophobic antisemitic anti german tribes do you think that this rhetoric is reflective of polands future policies or was it just rhetoric to get the the voters to vote for him. You know whether this is going to be rhetoric in the future in poland remains to be seen i dont have a crystal ball life i often wish i didnt say but you know the messy office for Democratic Institutions and human rights of which im a sports person has a mandate to come back in and our prime and take should there around the 57 countries of. Which poland is is one and we do see a very worrying trend of an increase in in hatred and in hate to schools and in some places the thing politicians who have easy access to microphones talking increasingly about enemies of. This. Moment rhetoric is something we know that it was something which we noted with great. Interest e. U. Country it became it was very apparent in the 1st round. Was in the 2nd round and again the the fact that the public all calls was. On the side of the current president who is going to be future president as well was also something of great. Beyond the polarizing politics within poland across europe do his reelection is seen as a bad omen for the future of the European Union how do you see do you agree. You know i im not here to come until the outcome of the election and its good that you asked me the question because its me the opportunity to say that the o. E. C. D. Observation is politically neutral we look at the process and we observe whether the process is is working is in line with International Standards democratic elections but we are not looking at the outcome we dont have an opinion on whether one candidate should win would be of accountants should ok i thought.
