Like these be enough or is europe sleepwalking into a 2nd major lockdown im forgotten berlin this is the day. Like many other countries around the world were continuing to see a concerning rise in cases we have an exponential increase in new infections in austria. I have to tell the people of madrid that the situation improving is not good. Im in the midst and in the last 2 weeks there has been more than a doubling of new infections and. The truth is up the situation is not so good the epidemic is getting stronger so the fact that the case Kareena Vargas is not. Also coming up last week fired. Stored the largest migrant camp in europe now 12000 migrants are taking shelter in a temporary tent city but some dont want to move on and. We want to free life weve come here to live a human and we are not animals. They put us in a place where theres no life and its like a jungle. To our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome we begin the day with the coronavirus pandemic the protests in america and the surge here in europe almost 200000 people have died from code 19 in the United States no country has been hit as hard as the u. S. And no country has politicized the pandemic like america either with no vaccine and no cure for cope with 19 facemask provide the most effective protection and yet president refuses to wear one rejecting the advice from doctors and scientists listen to what the head of the centers for Disease Control told a Congressional Committee on wednesday. Im not going to comment directly about the president but i am going to comment as the c. D. C. Director the. Facemask these faceman are the most important powerful Public Health tool we have i might even go so far as to say that this face mask is more guaranteed to protect me against covert than when i take a covert vaccine because the imminent unicity may be 70 percent and if i dont get an immune response to vaccine is not going to protect me this facemask will and that is the head of the c. D. C. Arguably the worlds most respected Infectious DiseasePrevention Center he is speaking with the force of facts and science but that is easily overpowered by the politics of protest in the us consider florida nearly 13000 people have died there from the virus despite evidence that mask for even infection and can even prevent death some people in florida are adamant anti maskers i want you to take a look at what happened this week inside a target store in fort lauderdale. Thats looking good as a flash mob of antiman spears walking through the store telling customers to take their masks all the startled shoppers you see down there wearing their mass they are protected. But the protesters shouting loudly in a non socially distance to group they are making themselves prime targets for the virus they know that but they dont believe it. Here in berlin we have also seen demonstrations of anti massacres but on this side of the atlantic the virus itself remains threat number one and that threat is again acute the number of new coronavirus cases in europe is surging every country reporting spikes in new infections and some such as france reporting more daily cases now than they did at the peak back in april the u. K. One of europes hardest hit countries imposed stricter social restrictions last week and spain is expected to announce new targeted lockdown measures for madrid on friday madrid accounts for one 3rd of all corona virus cases in spain and the country is registering several 1000 new infections every day and even here in germany where infections and deaths have remained relatively low we are seeing a sizeable jump in new cases all of this has the World Health Organization worried and sounding the alarm and its putting an early summer we were able to see the impact of strict look down measures. Efforts over a sector for this bake off in june cases hit an all time low. This is the case numbers however should serve as a wake up call for bring in now my colleague public early on here at the big table probably this is deja vu for us but for the people in madrid why is madrid in this situation yet again well 1st and foremost it comes down to a lack of preparation with regards to whats happening now in the medical system there is a lack of staff while theyre more prepared in the sense that they have all that the masks and all those sort of things that they didnt have back in march and april and that they have a problem with staff numbers so often its very difficult for people to actually even get a test because a lot of the medical centers for the primary care facilities are just not able to go to the nurses died from will visit there are a lot and theyre also having a problem in that they just havent hired enough staff they werent prepared for it and one big issue that was being discussed a lot over the summer was the lack of contact tracing. People working in the area in that period and it was heavily criticised at the Regional Government so this combination of issues has led the capitol to the situation that we find ourselves in in how bad are the numbers the numbers are not good you mentioned a few of them there but actually with regards to the tests almost one in 4 of the test coming back are positive in madrid and thats incredibly high considering they should be below 5 percent for situation to be considered under control there they came for rand a 3rd of spains total new cases in the trade now the hospitals are filling up its nowhere near the situation it was back in march and april but it is causing some concern and even the Field Hospital which was quite same as back in back in the pandemic the worst of it is potentially going to be opened up so theres a lot of concern amongst the residents there right so the numbers are not good who is most affected by these new infections well this is the area which is causing obviously a lot of controversy and if you look at the regions or the parts of the city that are most affected it also happens to be the poorer parts of the city in fact the numbers there are off the charts and in some instances its over 1000. 00 cases per 100. 00. When you compare that to germany which is at 19 you can really see how bad the situation is and within the city the richer parts of the city are all surrender 3rd of those figures why because youve got high numbers of people who are unemployed or working in essentially precarious situations often they can take a day off if theyre ill as so they also cant get the primary care that they need because the primary care facilities in those areas are just not able to get people socially and so she distance because theyre living in poor conditions and so this is the problem its a combination of problems there also its a city that is very well connected it has a very good. Commuter system very good metro trains and buses so people move around with frequency so its you know highlighting the fact that if youre rich you know you wont be as badly affected thats important to remember and its also important to remember that you know all of europe is watching spain right now to see if these targeted local law would do the job because no one wants to have a 2nd major lockdown youre absolutely right and weve already seen it in certain parts of spain where some cities have actually had localized lock downs but really what they want to avoid is actually a lockdown like the one that we saw back in march and april it causes a lot of stress and panic among spinors ive lived in madrid for many many years and i know how people are feeling about that and i know a lot of these stories firsthand of how difficult it is to get a test done so you know a combination of very worrying is the word oxers words deja vu thats for sure public us public is always thank you. A drones view of moving day for migrants we are looking at a Police Operation underway on the greek island of was to move around 12000 migrants and refugees into a new temporary tent city many have been sleeping on the streets since a fire destroyed the maria refugee camp last week where they have been held in cramped and squalid conditions the move we understand has been peaceful even though many migrants are reluctant to relocate. All right i want to bring in now amanda when youre off to toward old she is executive director of the in phoenix that provides protection and Legal Services for refugees on lesbos them and its good to have you on the program what are you hearing tonight what on migrants there what are they afraid of well people are very afraid that then you cannot then you come to be a pill center and also today thousands of people are moved into a center and services were absolutely overwhelmed people are being given food was great day and today there was not enough food or water for everyone that was wanting to needs then you come and why is that. Well there was out being updated to move people and well they were not expecting this huge amount of people to meet today yes it is a 1200 people and today the numbers are saying and we know that were talking about the new tent camp tent city here how is this camp going to be different from the maria camp that burned down. Well we dont believe its going to be different we are they afraid of their winter days that are coming in the storms that tents are not winterized they dont not floras the area is full of mind and next to the sea so we expect rehires conditions for People Living there have you been told how long the migrants will have to stay in this temporary tent city well no one knows this is this is it has to be seen we hope this is a temporary composite government is saying but morial is also a temporary. We understand that we know that conditions in the maria camp were were not good they were terrible and that could have led to the fire we understand do you see there being a risk that the same conditions that maybe even the same outcome could could happen in this new camp well people people who live in very harsh conditions in morea they were under not done for many months these are people who have gone through terrible trauma and the conditions of lockdown where they hire from the people there of course we cannot expect what will happen in this yukon we hope that it will be peaceful all right a man yet you know the toro from the in geo phoenix joining us tonight from the greek island of lesbos amanda thank you thank you. Obama the struggle continues for a european solution for the migrants and lesbos the next refugee drama is already in progress at a nother european external border the Canary Islands some 4000 people have arrived there by boat since the beginning of the year hundreds are thought to have died while making the dangerous journey across the atlantic. Many of them are fleeing the worsening security situation in the sawhill boats are setting off from morocco in the territory of western so far theyre also departing hundreds of kilometers further self from mauritania and senegal now while arrivals to mainland spain fell by have compared to the same period last year landings in the Canary Islands increased nearly 7 fold. Call him see after a harrowing journey. And his friend you brought him to ray spent 3 days on the atlantic in a rubber dinghy on whats considered the most dangerous migration route in the world its estimated that one in every 15 migrants dies on the way. Down do you suddenly we heard air leaking from the reporting it at that moment everyone was scared to death i had the feeling that this could really be the end for us and i thought about my little sister who would then be left without me because. I thought about friends i would never see again when i was in a state of shock and i couldnt move anymore. They made it just 2 of 1000 migrants who have arrived in the Canary Islands in the past weeks. Many islanders feel abandoned by the rest of europe. And official safeword to ventura cant take anymore people. New arrivals are sealed off in hotels thats attracted criticism from human Rights Groups who say the migrants have no access to asylum procedures and lack the most basic necessities and then theres the islands tourist association. With some we didnt know when the effort there were currently working to promote fuerteventura as a safe and clean island thats in the best of health nobody likes to see hotel full of migrants now thats reality. Adding to the stress the government sees growing concern over corona virus infection rates immediately upon arrival people reaching the island are tested in one of the last groups half the test were positive many newcomers like camera and 2 ray want to leave the island as soon as possible and move on to the european mainland some where they can find work and are safe from deportation back home. On december 31st of this year the transition period for the u. K. His departure from the European Union in britain will then be a member of the e. U. No more it has been more than 4 years since the u. K. Voted to leave the European Union breaks it has already cost the u. K. In measurable some xin worry a state and Political Capital it brought teresa mayes time is Prime Minister to a screeching halt and it is proving to be just as problematic for Boris Johnson or is Boris Johnson part of the problem the Prime Minister has threatened to read nega on parts of the withdraw agreement that he negotiated with the European Union the e. U. Is warning that would be a violation of International Law and across the atlantic washington is worried westminsters plans could torpedo the peace in ireland i want you to consider what democrat president ial candidate joe biden tweeted he writes we cant allow the good friday agreement that brought peace to Northern Ireland to become a casualty of breaks in any trade deal between the u. S. And u. K. Must be contingent upon respect for the agreement and preventing the return of a hard border period all right for more on break sit and what is at stake on the other side of the atlantic lets put in a man who has written and reported on breaks in from here in europe and now in the u. S. Capital David Charter is the us editor for the british newspaper the times he joins me from our washington studio tonight david its good to have you back on the day lets see if we could start by maybe if you could tell our viewers who may not be following breaks it closely explain why is the u. K. Government considering reconnecting on the withdrawal agree. Right its good to be back brant this is another complicated twist in the very long running saga weve been talking about about the britain britains detachment from the European Union and this is a new bill thats been proposed by the conservative governments to slightly but significantly redraw the brics it Withdrawal Agreement that they agreed with the European Union over the status of the Northern Ireland border and how that relates to its border with the republic of ireland which will remain in the European Union so the European Union is very concerned that there will be breaches of trade of the trade rules by goods and Services Potentially crossing the border in the wants to keep Northern Ireland as close as possible almost identical to the European Union rules. That leaves the mainland of the United Kingdom. Stuck when it comes to importing and exporting to Northern Ireland because it creates a de facto border according to the British Government down the irish sea through which they will have to check goods and Services Going back and forward in Northern Ireland and they wanted to put a proviso in the law that they could change what was agreed with the e. U. To make trade within the United Kingdom including Northern Ireland a completely level Playing Field and this is cause the problem the response huge controversy on both sides of the atlantic i mean youre right it is complicated and complex will it have or could it have dire consequences for ireland in Northern Ireland and the delicate piece of the argument. Well this is the fear thats been raised very strongly by joe biden the democratic candidate for president and several other very leading democrats like nancy pelosi the speaker of the house of representatives the most senior democrat she also has strong links to al and as it happens her son in law is irish and her grandchildren are irish and and she invariably makes the main speech at the annual friends of island lunch which is held every march on some patricks day. Or the other very senior people who have been at that lunch only this year include Mitch Mcconnell hes the republican leader in the senate so you can see how the irish connection of very senior american officials is really strong here and they say that they are very worried that the good friday agreement struck in the 990 is to bring peace finally to the island of ireland is at risk if the change that the british are proposing leads to some kind of infrastructure being imposed on the island and making up borders are hard border that encourages conflict to route to resume and i think it is a real worry but i think also its being caught up in the American Election where joe biden wants to play perhaps to the Irish American vote who are very sympathetic to the republic of ireland and perhaps play up those famous for his own political reasons as well i want to talk about that irish in just a moment but you Michel Nancy Pelosi i want you to take a listen to what the u. S. House speaker has said about brakes in ireland in the u. K. Doing business with the u. S. Stimulus. But its a very simple message they know it theyve heard it i fed it to the dough and this is not anything which hidden under a bush it will be now by lateral u. S. U. K. Agreement if the border the good friday accords and the guy to. The border i changed art so how important then is the democrats intervention here on bricks it lets see help Prime MinisterBoris Johnson replied to nancy pelosi as comments take a listen i have enormous respect for. Nancy who were people that you know this is a distinguished congressman i say this is it here you mention it i think that when they understand the acbl was trying to do i think it will show. Concern which is to protect the balance is not just on the situation of the of the good friday of the of the preventing the nuns and others in the childrens misunderstand texas the Peace Process in Northern Ireland and if thats the that somehow detroit is not really part of the problem does not suppose you have it wrong she wrote that she is not supposed to roll down the stairs and unfortunately because of the. Monthly bill protecting the symmetry of the good friday agreement is something that may have been lost so far and the presentation of this this matter and. Protecting the symmetry of this agreement david let me ask you i mean an outsider looking at this would look at Boris Johnson and say mr johnson you negotiated the Withdrawal Agreement you signed you put your name on it werent you thinking about these things then when you signed it how how do you make since a bad day. You know that outside it would be absolutely right because this agreement was signed off at the back end of last year its a very recent International Agreements and although dublin and some of the Irish American politicians may be slightly exaggerating the danger from it theres no doubt that. Mostly the British Government is seen as in the wrong for trying to go back and reopen unilaterally reopen an agreement that they made just a few months ago and weve had the British Foreign secretary dominic rob over here for 2 days doing the rounds of congress and the administration really to try and smooth over all of the heads that have been set running by this proposal of the British Government and of course weve seen back in london that theyre trying to amend the bill to put in extra reassurances to the European Commission and to ireland that it wont be as bad or as dangerous for the border situation as they as they are saying because were also in britain i should say is also in a delicate negotiation with the European Union for a trade deal which they really need to get wrapped up by the middle of october if its to come into force when the 1st of january as everybody hopes you know david youre in washington are you seeing a battle here taking place between the u. K. And the irish lobby in washington here we were talking about brakes did it mean is that whats happening if you would have thought that wed even be talking about that it breaks it 4 years later after the referendum. I think i think so brian and i think well be talking about bricks for a good few years to come because even the final Status Agreement which is supposed to come in force on january the 1st as i mentioned is it looks like it it may not be the final agreement it may just be some outline agreements and of course theres deep suspicion among the democrats over Boris Johnsons apparent closeness to President TrumpPresident Trump has in self called mr Johnson Boris trump which wont help him with his negotiations with democrats should they come to power and of course the democrats already have huge power in congress because they control the house which controls the Key Committee that signs off on trade deals so one of the important people that mr rob the farm sector has been meeting yesterday in fact was richie nail the chairman of this ways and Means Committee which is the Crucial Committee that examines trade deals so whether or not joe biden or President Trump wins the election in november it looks like the democrats will still have the house and will still have huge say over the trade. Well david i have a feeling were going to be talking about these as you say for a long time and i bet were going to be talking with you on Election Night because this is going to be a big deal depending on who wins the president ial election well have to talk about that come November David schardt of u. S. Editor for the british newspaper the times as always david we appreciate your time and your insights thank you.

We have an exclusive report tonight about one man who set up a makeshift soup kitchen in the wake of the. Its 2 hours until lunch time cost us policeman openness and his team have to hurry theyre cooking for about 2000 people today outdoors and with the most basic equipment not an easy task.

As well aware of the extent of this catastrophe he founded his organization during the financial crisis when he and many other people in greece lost almost everything and 1st began cooking for people on the streets of athens and when the refugee crisis hit the greek islands in 2015 they got involved here and lesbos since then their mission hasnt changed. At all but i met me but i like it when im not we decided to come here firstly because we have an urgent need for food and secondly to calm the people down take some of their anxiety away and show them that we are with them to show that not all people are fascist or racist and that we care for the people next to us that they have their own happiness not a moment.

I dont know when theyre going to have if they dont have the hope they will die here that all they have left is hope to make a new beginning for themselves and let their children live a better life.
