Coffee with friends a shopping trip or a visit to family all back on the agenda for millions more people as corona virus restrictions are lifted in some of the hardest hit countries france has been locked down for 8 weeks but people there can now return to shops headdresses and take public transport after its lowest number of deaths since march spain is opening outdoor cafes churches and mosques to keep it. Shopping centers and schools in the netherlands india is restarting part of its train system despite a jump in infections that the rail network which is relied on by tens of millions of people every day has been shut down since late march at in China Shanghai is disneyland us reopened cinema space sams and other recreational venues will follow over the next few weeks a spin in paris where its just gone midday out of there as the time is there for sales look to busy behind you there and especially how are people taking to the newfound freedom. Well its a little bit easier than it has been over the last 2 months of course but its certainly no where near is busy as france pre down nevertheless some people are going back to work as you said some shops are opening a public transport resuming increasing its services a day were told over the next few weeks weve been speaking to people whove been getting the metro because now mosques are obligatory for anyone travelling on public transport and the people weve been speaking to have said that they think its a great idea that one has to wear mosques but still on public transport its incredibly difficult to social distance and thats why the government of said anyone catching transports in peak travel times has to have a permit from the employers say that that is why theyre getting public transport because otherwise the Government People not to take public transport unless its absolutely vital necessary schools though then all to back to running to normal we jordan would be going back for several weeks were told only very few at the beginning its really hoping phased in because what the government wants to try and do is of course make sure that they can revive the economy give people some sort of normal life again but the same time they have to be very very careful to prevent a 2nd wave of infections and in fact the French Health minister said that. If people would know if if infections did rise again then another knock down could be on the table see the use of a look if the virus begins increasing rapidly again with no control and risks for the health of the french people who would be forced to impose confinement measures again either in certain territories or differentiated as we did initially or even more widely if the population were in danger. Well people we have spoken to said that they are of course relieved that they have a lot more freedoms and they had over the past 2 months they now dont need a permit to leave their homes for example they are free to war can do exercise outdoors but there is still a sense of anxiety people are very aware that the Coronavirus Crisis is far from over and thats why many people are choosing to stay home the government has told people that they can work from home for as long as possible many people say that even if schools do reopen they were want to send their children but people are still very aware that the risk of infection is high particularly in cities like areas where there is infection cases and deaths some of the highest in the country. About a reporting live from paris natasha many thanks indeed lets go live now to madrid. In the spanish capital where are you not of whats happening there.

Some of the retailers and brand chains the side that are not safe. For the shops because. Shopping places may close a 2nd of a 2nd wave of coronavirus. Across the suicide terrorist target here has a downward trend in the number in terms of the daily death toll but still the they were confirmed cases are more than 1000 actually around 1500 and the size Board Members the buck to result also warning that ok.

There is sit in the owner of the competing with the midday call to prayer in istanbul many thanks indeed to cinema in india trains were halted 6 weeks ago as part of the effort to stop the spread of the virus but some services appears to restart on tuesday aljazeera samisen both the run of joins us now buy it from new delhi so Rail Services begin again tomorrow the tickets are on sale today i mean just how important is this for people across the country this. Hi adrian its difficult to state overstate just how important it is that government has announced that from tuesday 15 trains will start traveling from the capital new delhi to major cities around the country including to mumbai to chennai that have been on the podium hi there been going to do more and to give you some context and you can buy in ways as one of the biggest Rail Networks in the world and it carries around 20000000 passengers every day so you can imagine the number of people who work or study in different states the numbers who were stranded when india cancelled all trains from the government cancelled all trains with no prior notice in late march 10 days ago it starts trains to carry some of the millions of Migrant Workers who were stranded and 500000 have been taken to their home states in the last 10 days but from tuesday everyone will be allowed to get on these 15 trains as long as they have tickets and tickets are going to be sold only online in about 15 minutes from now no ticketing booth at any train stations will be allowed to open people will have to be screened they will only sell the right number of tickets to ensure social distancing everyone has to wear a mask so trains gradually restarting. As the country prepares to end the lock down the sunday its due to end on sunday and Indian Railways is expected to announce more trains in the coming days from mr modi has been speaking with state leaders while they have been telling. So that meeting between the Prime Minister and state leaders has just begun its the 1st 5th video call between Prime Minister modi and state leaders but the 1st one in which Something Like 36. 00 state leaders are allowed to speak if they want to they will be discussing the further easing of indias lockdown but this is happening as the number of coronavirus cases in india continues to rise really worrying me in states like maharashtra which has a 3rd of the nearly 70000 cases of the Financial Capital one by is still the worst so as well as discussions on how to ease the lock down in a big country with 1300000000 people with some places much worse affected than others they will also be talking about the economy the worlds 5th largest economy was already on a significant downturn before the lock down unemployment has gone up from 6 to 20 percent 27 percent in that time and everyone especially state leaders is wondering where was the big financial stimulus package the kind that weve seen announced in other countries and that certainly expected to be on the agenda on todays meeting on 0 as elizabeth poor on im reporting live from new delhi less many thanks indeed for that 80000 barrel School Students are back in class in chinas capital theyre preparing for a High School Entrance exams students must show the valid health codes for the 2 week record of their movements on their cell phones before being allowed back into school around 50000 high School Students return to class in beijing last month and as we reported earlier disneyland in china has reopened after a 3 month shutdown of zeros to trim a year reports from beijing. Its not exactly business as usual though because of the current virus the usual capacity of shanghai is disneyland 80000. 00 people but the government has mandated that all venues have a 30 percent cap so disneyland says theyre only allowed up to 24000. 00 and because its the 1st day today even less than that but tickets went on sale for disneyland on friday at 8 am local time and they sold out almost instantly in 3 minutes there were nor more tickets so that really shores the appetite for people wanting to go to disneyland more strides will be or but theyre also current of hours caviar for example theyll be social distancing measures for people lining up people have to wear masks at all times and some parades and performances will also be cancelled and for the Chinese Government this is good news theyre trying to sew a sort of use this reopening as a symbolic measure to say that china really has the upper hand over the virus now and trying to express some confidence not only towards the people here in china but also of the world trying to sort of set itself as an example of how the economy can recover after krone virus measures have been pulled back peter drew back is the cofounder of the universe implode will Health Equity in rwanda currently lectures at the Side Business school at the university of oxford he joins us now live from there good to have you with us peter one of the dangers that we should keep in mind as countries begin to ease these coronavirus lockdowns restrictions. So every step that we take to ease the physical distancing that so many countries have been experiencing is a chance for the rate of the transmission and the number of new infections to go back up and so of course the big risk would be a 2nd surge in infections up in and some modeling predictions that could be even greater than the 1st and so this is a very delicate balancing act as countries try to figure out how to ease lockdowns whats really important is that before you do that that you have other measures in place that can break chains of transmission and by that i mean access to widespread testing where everyone who has needs a test can get a test that there is means of Contact Tracing so that the contacts of every infected person can be traced and that everyone whos infected or contact can be isolated or quarantine that can allow you to keep the rate of transmission down even as you begin to open up societies but as weve learned from countries in asia and elsewhere theyre trying to open up its own excreta extremely delicate balancing act if the infection rate does begin to rise in some areas does that mean that restrictions will have to be reimposed. It could it absolutely could and youre right to point out that you know countries are not homogenous right you can have hot spots of infection were seeing that predominately in major cities for the reason that theres lots of people packed into dense areas so for example in france which is beginning to ease some of its lot down measures thats happening in much of the country but not in paris and so some of these interventions may need to be tailored based on the local situation the more intelligence you have from good disease surveillance and testing the smartie able to be about making these sorts of decisions peoples behavior of course is not that easy to police a concern that the people will continue to be sensible but locked down for tea. Will not will persuade them that they have to continue to to to behave sensibly. Its a very real risk obviously people have been making big sacrifices now for weeks if not months and theres a lot of economic pain thats been inflicted on so many and so many are desperate to get back to work some are just desperate to get back out to life as normal in some way shape or form of course theres a real risk in doing that too soon and causing a 2nd surge in infections and so thats why good Transparent Communications from government and Building Public trust so that we can continue in the spirit of all being in it together is really important on the flip side though it must be said that a lot of people still are scared and are not feeling safe and so in countries that are rushing to open back up without putting the kinds of testing in tracing measures into place that are needed people may not necessarily obey the the regulations to ease lock downs and in fact prefer to stay home so it cuts both ways ok i mean what about nations who simply just dont have the capacity at the moment to. Test and trace. Its much more difficult in that in those cases i think there are there are countries that should have the capabilities who just havent gotten there yet like the us and there we need to keep pushing for more of these investments to be made in capabilities to be built its going to be more difficult in other countries around the world where resources and access to testing is going to be is going to be more limited frankly were all learning as we go and there are little experiments happening all over the world right now is Different Countries and communities trying different methods of trying to ease up safely and its going to be a really important i think couple of weeks for us to learn about what works and what doesnt work and hopefully share those lessons around the worlds goods to have to pay to many thanks for being with us pedro back that in oxford thank you authorities in malaysia have begun to arrest undocumented migrants in a targeted operation just outside the capital caught in the pond and here in the east by local media showed crowds of migrants lining up off the arrival of a large group of Police Offices of an asian government has already carried out similar operations and what it says is an effort to help contain the spread of the corona virus and to serious florence lu is in co out of them but that explains why certain areas are being targeted. This is very similar to a rape that was carried out at apartment blocks in kuala lumpur on the 1st of may now these raids on monday morning are carried out in an area that is under lockdown which means residents in those areas are not allowed to leave their homes whether for food or medicine things are delivered to them and this is to prevent or contain the spread of the corona virus these are areas where clusters of the virus have been reported now everyone in those areas would have been tested for the corona virus and the government has said that it intends to detain undocumented migrants in areas and lock down and this appears to be what the government is doing in carrying out these raids on monday morning and the undocumented migrants who were detained in the raid on the 1st of may were sent to an Immigration Detention Center and its very likely that the same is going to happen to the ones who are detained in the operation on monday morning however thats several issues of that and one is that there is a possibility that refugees who are not yet registered with the u. N. Refugee agency in malaysia or signed them seekers who may have their registration expired may inadvertently have been detained as well and the other issue is these rates could be counterproductive yes the government is detaining undocumented migrants in areas for lock down but what about undocumented migrants in areas that are not under lockdown then these people will be more reluctant to seek treatment or to come forward to be tested even if they are exhibiting symptoms and this could be a potential health issue for malaysia in trying to prevent the spread of the corona virus james gomez who is the regional director for the policy think tank asia center he joins us now by skype from singapore good to have you with us james are these of these migrants being made. A scapegoat for the spread of the bars do you think. Well i think its an initial p. R. Exercise by the government to target this documented Migrant Workers but really i mean the arrays baking about 5000000 Migrant Workers in malaysia almost 3000000 of them are on documented and the court of operation of Migrant Workers is equal into the current resident population of a single block so thats a lot of people that the malaysian government you know needs to address especially be thinking about i think theyre well however i think they should its a lot more how plaques because at this time we are only looking at the malaysian government has a hole and we have to can perhaps at the Immigration Department when really the nub of the problem really lies with the employers who actually employ nice workers and house them in very very horrible conditions and then also on the other thats already know we need to look at the municipal authorities because then you have municipal authorities responsible for that they can lead and governmental and as well as giving the appropriate permission to buildings to be used as. Hostels for work where many build up buildings are in the urban area have clear guidelines about them being used for hostile living so municipal authorities actually need to give permission out in security measures building fire and Safety Standards as well as a license to operate you know site urban properties thats lost us so you see triple mix of you know the federal government municipal authorities and the you know employers who are collecting for the responsible for this situation ok. But surely that this treatment is simply going to have to send migrants further into hiding isnt it its not going to encourage them to seek treatment if that if theyre suffering covert 19 symptoms and the disease will spread further. Yes i mean its not only a question of you know or seeking treatment i know the larger question is who will pay for it karl even though the malaysian government has passed the buck to the employers and employees are passed the bar and what were seeing really is the situation down in kuala lumpur were just great just laying on the area but i think theres another big issue down in the south in state in johor but in the large its kind of Construction Projects all going to different areas so just for a city down there will be a tree house plan will be best something has done its not our come to light and that is the number that you know its not a dangerous situation one has to monitor it were looking at malaysia as a whole and i think. You know this is where the problem is ok lets talk to set a thanks to james gomes there in singapore. Its been fierce fighting in libyas capital as the un recognized government tries to end the Year Long Campaign by warlord Khalifa Haftar to see as tripoli fighters allied to the tripoli government made a show of force after have to loyalist said that they had entered the citys Southern Suburbs after allies fired rockets of tripolis only functioning airport on saturday killing 3 People Living there by the law hold up the one head is live for us in tripoli whats the latest on the fighting the 4th.

Theres been fierce fighting between libyas warring sides in tripoli forces allied to the us recognized government that a show of strength of the fighters loyal to the wall of Khalifa Haftar claims to have entered the capitals Southern Suburbs an accidental missile strike by irans navy on one of its own boats has killed 19 sailors it happened in the just region in the gulf of oman where Iranian Naval exercises were taking place a support vessel was hit when it got too close to a target there are regular exercises held in the region near the busy straits of hormuz the same describe the reports for us now from tehran. The wreckage of one of the ships was taken to chop our port and we also have been hearing conflicting reports about whether or not the vessel that was hit in this incident has sunk or not but were hearing from officials this morning that the vessel is intact not intact but certainly has not sunk and investigations are underway we know that the naval frigate jumma run a missile capable what iranians call a destroyer was involved in these exercises it hit a smaller support ship called the corner iraq now this is a multipurpose vehicle a corvette class ship it is small it is sometimes armed for naval patrols but in this case were hearing from reports that it was serving in a support capacity that it was setting up targets that it got too close to one of the targets when a missile struck nearby and hit this vessel instead now details are still unclear waiting for some sort of official comment but the fact that early this morning just in the last hour the navy has confirmed a much higher death toll than was reported earlier today that certainly tells us this is a very serious incident the iranian navy the Iranian Forces dont do anything in these waterways that doesnt project power this naval exercise was certainly meant to do that and no doubt this will hurt irans goal of projecting a powerful image in its waterways. Is the kind of global risk of the psni of a sense of Security Policy he says that any issue like this could further escalate tensions between the u. S. And iran. Well for the arteries leading. The path around that doesnt look good indeed because they were already at the source of the downing of the ukrainian. Civil aircraft earlier in general to put it in context you have to say that this accident as the context of the standoff between the United States and iran that started when. President trend decided to risk growth from the socalled nuclear deal 2 years ago but thats actually increasing intensity a year ago and since then we have seen constant harassment on both sides amounts ago you had about 11 small boats iranian boat from a i. R. G. C. That actually arrest u. S. Navy boats and week later with them trapped tweeted that he would basically destroyed any. Iranian boat that would raft u. S. Navy boats so these this part of the standoff of u. S. And iraq anonymously since the killing of general slim ami earlier this year it looks like the u. S. Have the upper hand but still iran is still trying to signal to the United States that they still have the means to you to be a player in the region what is very important here is that any incident because the situation is so volatile i could actually lead to further escalation and thats that is the real issue. To try to is underway in the democratic republic of congo for key ally of president felix tricia came to town commit hey is just a katies chief of staff and also leads the influential union for congolese nations Political Party hes accused of embezzling 51000000. 00 from funds set aside for building prefabricated homes for disadvantaged communities.

Saudi arabia is calling them painful but necessary its announced tough new measures aimed at shoring up state finances battered by low oil prices and the Global Pandemic from july 1st it will raise value added tax from 5 to 15 percent 26000000000 dollars will be slashed from funds allocated to large government projects they include crown prince bahamas and salmonds vision 2030 initiative and from the start of next month the cost of living allowance for low and middle income families will be suspended bad is director of the institute for gulf affairs he says that saudi arabia is waking up to new economic realities the economy in saudi arabia has been under a lot of stress that thats why the government would drew 23000000000. 00 from the reserves in march this is the largest withdrawal from the reserves ever in the history of the country so and then moodys obviously downgraded saudi just a few weeks ago so were looking at continuous bad it no. Problems facing the economy and hurdles and hits not only corona has blocked. Stopped it but im a done you have bought one and a half 1000000 people coming to america and medina during ramadan but also had been canceled in addition obviously to the oil prices being decimated by saudi arabia itself and its policy. The Syrian Government and its ally russia being accused of carrying out unlawful attacks on opposition held areas in northwestern Syria Amnesty International says that some of the ground and air offensives between december march amount to war crimes honestly documented 18 attacks on medical facilities and schools and it lived in northwest and how much of western aleppo in one attack in january witnesses say that russian and strikes killed 11 civilians and flattened residential buildings near a hospital in the town of arica honesty also accuses syrian Government Forces of breaking International Law the following month when cluster bombs hit a school in live killing 6 people nearly a 1000000 people were displaced by the syrian russian offensive between december and march creating the worst humanitarian crisis since the war began robbie r. K. Is a senior crisis advisor understands national and coauthor of the report she says its findings reflect broader patterns in the syrian conflict. Syrian and russian Government Forces committed serious violations of International Law that amount to were crimes and in addition to that this fits into the wider pattern committed by syrian Government Forces the widespread and systematic pattern of targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure in opposition held areas and therefore they also amount to crimes against humanity indeed close to 1000000. 00 people were forced to leave their homes between december and march 2020 and they joined an already exploding population of displaced people close to the border in turkey both in governorates and parts of aleppo governor these people are essentially trapped theres nowhere left for them to go they cant exactly cross into the border and claim asylum in turkey even after the cease fire many of them are afraid to go back to their home towns either because they have been taken by the government or are at risk of being retaken by the government and of course we and others have documented the pattern of syrian Government Forces have arbitrarily arresting people disappearing them and torturing them for any association with opposition held areas and there is a huge pressure of course on the humanitarian response that has been only that has only gotten worse due of course to concerns about covert 1000. The u. K. s Prime Minister is here to lay out the 1st steps to easing lockdown measures to Parliament Later on monday on sunday night he outlined a new virus alert system during a rest of the nation johnston said the people will be allowed to spend more Time Outdoors but with the highest death toll in europe its latest plan is already facing criticism for britain reports. The site of people basking in sunny parks and strolling along the river thames this weekend offered just a snapshot of the wider reality that 7 weeks after they were introduced the u. K. s stay at home restrictions had stopped being strictly observed or strictly enforced now there is a new Public Health slogan stay at home ditched in favor of the new mantra stay alert theres also a 5 level alert system that will govern how quickly the lockdown can be eased the Prime Ministers priority is to find ways of getting people back to work the 1st step is a change of emphasis that we hope that people will act on this week we said that you should work from home if you can only go to work if you must we now need to stress that anyone who cant work from home for instance those in construction or manufacturing should be actively encouraged to go to work many elements of the Prime Ministers National Address had been widely previewed in recent days for example from weapons day the idea that people will be no longer restricted to just one hour of outdoor exercise per day and in fact people will be allowed to lounge in parks if they want to so long as they observe social distancing but any further freedoms will depend highly on the critical our number keeping the rate of infection below one throughout this period of the next 2 months we will be driven not by mere hope economic necessity. Will be driven by the science the data and Public Health the stay alert message has attracted criticism for being too ambiguous and open to interpretation but the police will find it unenforceable and the public might find it confusing it doesnt really mean anything theres no instruction in the same way as the last message and i think you saw in the Prime Ministers speech just now how the government has had to come back from some of the things they were thinking of doing earlier in the week because theyre just im sure about how to get this right i like weve already seen today in the United Kingdom there is going to be a lot of uncertainty and theres a lack of clarity about what it sees the government want people to do they should really have just found different wording to try to navigate these next 2 or 3 weeks to make things even more confusing since coronavirus restrictions are id volved matter with scotland wales and Northern Ireland setting their own policies those 3 nations are firmly rejected the Prime Ministers new slogan clarity of message is paramount if we expect all of you to know exactly what it is we are asking of you and as leaders we have a duty to deliver that clarity to those we had accountable to not to confuse it to that end day of ask the u. K. Government not to deploy the stay away at Advertising Campaign in scotland because the message in scotland at this stage is nort stay at home if you can the message is except for the essential reasons you nor boat stay at home through stop from the outset it was realised that lifting the lockdown was always going to be far more difficult than imposing it in the 1st place the Prime Ministers heavily conditional sketch of a road map makes it abundantly clear just how complex its going to be paul brennan aljazeera westminster. Prime minister has announced a further easing of restrictions there to send the businesses Domestic Travel and other services and resume the country was locked down for more than a month after a series where the hate reports.
