To get more sick anyway and of course this is a time when makeable says there are too many details where there are similar problems but all the different states have found Different Solutions so that is the idea of this meeting so i know about is very punctual normal normally and weve been waiting for this press conference to start i think we can have a quick look in the chancery where we still only see empty chairs quite a bleak picture you know were probably wondering why does it take so long and of course we have colleagues. At the press conference shes sitting in that room waiting of course shes hearing all the whispers whats going on behind the scenes and i think youve been texting with her didnt want to see you say well its funny would you say that she wrote to text me and said well clearly mrs markland state premiers are getting less good at timing but they are Getting Better at building up the drama to present details rather than breakthroughs. And i think this is something we have to make it clear to our viewers as well germany is not going to over hold the International Strategy and theres very much a consensus that the pandemic is still here that it is a focus to combat the virus with all the Necessary Force and that the overall strategy has worked there is a National Alliance the fight against the virus has to be the focus of everybody but of course also the details well the devil is in the details and so they need to readjust those strategies is there a general feeling that germany is over the worst or are we facing a 2nd wave some some that we may already be in. Already be in the 2nd wave what is funny when you speak to viral exists and people here in this country tend to listen to scientists still which is a good thing those are all just say that it is i think they dont like the term 2nd wave they say its a continuous wave of infection the virus is here it is here to stay and its only up to politicians and citizens to figure out how to find ways of living with a virus while we dont have a vaccination for it of course also depends on where you go in germany if you go to the south or the west of the country youll find numbers as staggeringly high in some regions theyre still not as high as they are on when the pandemic broke out here but when you go to the east or the north there are some regions that basically havent seen any infections over the last couple of weeks and this is something of course where those leaders of the state will have to have a heated discussion because it is not as. All over the country as for example it is in bavaria indeed looks like theres a huge discussion and press conference still hasnt started. But this summit has been taking place because although the number of u. Coronavirus cases is far below what it was at the height of the lock down back in march its still well above a 1000 today thats considered potentially risky so america wants to make sure the strategies in place across the nation are here and consistent the weather in germany is already giving a hint of autumn and that means the beginning of the flu season and a possible 2nd wave of covert 19 the government wants to avoid a new spike but it also wants to keep andy coronavirus measures flexible. Viruses stand i make the situation a stand and make the strategy is clear we wanted to get it under control Health Ministry and span wants to scrap compulsory tests for holiday makers returning from high risk countries with more than 800000 tests per week capacities and the strain after the Holiday Season the minister wants to return to a strategy that combines testing with quarantined measures after the Holiday Season will do more targeted testing of people with symptoms or contact a covert 1000 patients as well as nurses doctors or care recipients. The very end state premier mark was has already made it clear that his state will stick to my test even after the Holiday Season. We were surprised to weeks ago mandate a return for risk areas were introduced from one day to the next and now they have to be done away with although there are more and more risk areas but it doesnt make sense because i mean the regional leaders disagree on this point but together with chancellor merkel they want to define at least one line of action where they stand united that could be higher fines for people who dont abide by the rules most people in germany are in favor of the governments karuna measures others are planning to rally against restrictions but for now anti coronavirus Mass Gatherings have been banned by the authorities. Well we wait for the press conference from about to start just remind us you know what are the crunch points between the 16 state premiers and the chancellor today there are 4 main contentious issues lot scale events this is actually something where all the leaders of the state agree that they should remain banned until the end of the year now theres even talk of canceling Christmas Markets because its just too risky to have so many people in one spot and then theres the other issue of private gatherings weve seen insects in clusters pop up whenever there was a big party or a big wedding people singing in the choir together so these are the things where people are saying maybe we should limit the amount of people the government wants to limit it to 25 people maximum theres already resistance from leaders in the east in particular who are saying this is way too low i cant explain that to my voters we havent seen any big infection clusters and then theres the issue of finding people who dont wear face mask apparently that was a big route between mrs machall and one. Of the conservative leaders of the states in the east who said i dont want a high fine if people dont face must america wants to push through their 50 euros minimum fine if you dont adhere to that rule and then theres the issue of people who are returning from high risk areas do you continue that strategy of mandatory tests that were free when that strategy was introduced as you remember so its really expensive and its not clear just how effective it is and of course its a big strain on germanys Testing Capacity so now theyre talking about maybe switching to was the strategy of putting these people into quarantine you know thank you again while we wait for this press conference to start lets have a look at some other world news a powerful hurricane has hit the u. S. State of louisiana and forecasters warn of could be one of the strongest storms ever seen along the states gulf coast or can lower made landfall as a category 4 storm after almost doubling in strength over 24 hours low lying areas have been flooded into ologist say the storm will continue to have a potentially catastrophic impact as it moves across louisiana and texas around half a 1000000 people have been ordered to leave their homes. Spoke today hes a meteorologist with. T. V. In new orleans and for an update on the situation. Yeah right now though the storm continues to work its way just north of lake charles louisiana it has weakened down to a category 2 hurricane which is expected once it moves to the new gets cut off in the warm waters of the gulf of mexico landfall 1 am local time here as a category 4 queens about 250 Miles Per Hour but 230 Kilometers Per Hour there so just incredible this is the tide for the strongest hurricane ever to hit louisiana the other one dating back to 256. 00 so this is likely going on significant devastation once the sun comes up here how it will start to hopefully be able to get out that way just to try to see that things are southwestern part of this you know so. Many people have been ordered to leave their homes did they full. Of the authorities. A lot of people did we were afraid that maybe some have tried to ride this one out of why you would but some did and so there are National Guard and others who try bench they want to sign comes up in the conditions start to improve a little bit to try to get out there to see if they have to form a new water rescues and of us just hope and pray that everyone did get out and no one is thats a home because the storm surge was going to be about 15 to 20 feet high so that would likely be overtopping of many homes in those areas even some that are elevated they would still be able to get some water here but i can almost double the strength over the space of 24 hours tell us briefly what does the full cost look like for the next 24 hours. Well fortunately moving in that it continues to work its way north sort of move up to a city of Shreveport Louisiana in the northwestern quarter of what we see get out still maybe as a hurricane out there but weakening with your brain 20 toes and gusty winds and continue working. Little rock arkansas memphis tennessee to eventually on and twere day maybe washington d. C. Area not as a tropical system but a big if you were a maker in potentially recent tornadoes there as we get towards the weekend here in the world ends we did not have much going on 5 bands or rain from the hurricane working week from today back to cost of quality issues here and maybe even a few tornadoes so we could have a busy afternoon and evening here across the south eastern part of the reason its for thank you very much dave.
