A virus long gone badas and restaurants in italy are be open and its a big part of tourism in kenya how the pandemic is affecting its why my freezer. Thank you for joining us according israel has found a jewish settler guilty of a 2015 awesome a time that killed a palestinian toddler and its parents the man fired on their home in the village of duma while they slept a 4 year old son survived lets go straight to our correspondent Terri Fawcett who is outside the court in israel this was a very controversial case harry remind us of what happened and what have been the reactions to this verdict. Indeed it was that the highest profile remains the highest profile attack by socalled jewish terror on palestinians although quite importantly in this case the the convicted man has not been convicted of being part of a terror group what took place according to this verdict is that on the 30th of july 2015 this man i mean new leo and a younger a minor had conspired together to carry out some kind of attack on palestinians in response to a drive by shooting of a jewish man the younger of the 2 apparently didnt turn up at the rendezvous and so ben nuland self went on to the village of duma in the occupied west bank he graffitied 2 anti palestinian messages there he burned one empty house and then went on to the home of the Webster Family inside that home were her husband saad 18 month old all 3 of them were killed in the fire that ensued as you said the 4 year old son ahmed survived and he he now lives with his grandparents this was a huge manhunt it became a Major Political issue for the government of the day and the Security Services shin bet that once the suspects were arrested they carried out socalled enhanced interrogation sometimes called torture to try to get more information and indeed confessions now the defense in this case has always argued that the confessions therefore were inadmissible but there was a big sort of interesting trial as it were in 2018 in which that was very much debated and it was resolved that the confessions that took place outside that immediate period where the torture was used was to the a civil and the judges today decided that the confession the details that this man knew about the scene of the attack the reconstruction of the events all of the. Went to prove that indeed he was responsible and so hes convicted of 3 counts of murder 2 of attempted murder and of arson but as i say he was not convicted of being part of a Jewish Terror Group to what have been the reactions then and send youve been speaking to the family of the victim. Yes weve been speaking to the the uncle of the young boy who was killed the brother of assad and he said that as far as the family is concerned so much remains unresolved they arent satisfied with this single verdict they dont know what the sentence will be they wont know that until sentencing on june the 9th and indeed there could well be an appeal to a higher court in this District Court but aside from that they also say that they believe that other people were involved in this attack indeed there was a witness at the time and said they saw 2 people entering the village there were 2 sets of footprints that were outside the house and its interesting that the the miner in this case entered a plea deal and was not convicted of carrying out the attack the verdict was that he was not present at the time but the judges here have acknowledged that there are some holes and some. Aspects to this case the brother of the dead man also talked about the fact that there is and remains a threat to palestinians weve seen people here protesting and demanding freedom and doing so in quite the simplest terms getting very close to the the family members of the do watches and so they feel that the the root problem has yet to be properly addressed and while i think they welcome the fact that there is now a conviction they say that this is not over yet thank you for that harry fast said life for us in iran and israel. Now to hong kong where a fight broke out early in harlem and. There were siri from prodemocracy politicians after a probe aging politician was elected as chairwoman for a Key Committee its meant to scrutinize bare bones and had been without any there since late last year the backlog of bills includes a one that criminalizes marking chinas National Anthem and 15 antigovernment protesters are appearing in a Hong Kong Court charged over last years mass rallies the group was arrested in april accused of helping to organize protests which were banned by the citys authorities and human rights experts have call for all of them to be released and for charges to be dropped the 1st hong kong protester to admit to writing charges were sentenced to 4 years in prison on friday. Adrian brown joins us now live from hong kong so tell us about whats been happening in court 1st today with these to 15 prodemocracy campaign is aging. Well fully im outside where scowling Magistrates Court and this is where the 15 activists have been appearing before a magistrate during the past hour were not sure yet whether indeed any pleas have actually been entered but i think it seems almost certain that this case because of its scope will be referred to a higher court now these 15 activists are just ordinary activists they are figureheads you know venerated figures of the proDemocracy Movement and they include people like martin lee whos 81 years old who has been part of the Democracy Movement now half his life he helped write hong kongs basic law the hong kong law also there is margaret on another internationally respected lawyer and of course jimmy live who is a media mogul here in hong kong and his newspapers have been very critical of beijing now i spoke to some of these activists as they arrived here at the call. They were hemmed in by supporters and by the media and they all insisted that they believe that beijing was responsible for these charges that bring brought they say this is as a result of increasing interference by beijing now theres no doubt actually foley the jury in the past few months we are seeing a doubling down of beijings efforts to try to contain the protests that of course began here in hong kong last june but began to sort of peter out in early january when covert 19 took effect here well you know hong kong now appears to have code that 19 under control but what it doesnt have under control quite clearly are the protests they have resumed again there is a resurgent movement but the protests have been much smaller but beijing wants those protests to stop its you know its run out of patience with hong kong and you know just a few days ago the new head of the Central Liaison Office here in hong kong who is very close by the way to president xi jinping said that it was time for hong kong to enact a National Security law that would make protests very difficult to happen that would restrict further protests and these 15 are standing up to that and they are now going to i think pay the price because if they are found guilty they could face anything up to 5 years in jail and the protests havent been just on the street. It was quite a scene inside hong kong that is taking the stand. Yeah its a reminder of just how fractious and broken in a way hong kongs parliament is i mean rival legislators were literally physically wrestling each other to the ground there was a fight on for the control of hong kongs parliament and its all over the appointment of a chair for a Key Committee which has to basically pass important legislation or prevent rather legislation. To hong kongs parliament but theres been a backlog in the last few months no legislation has been really been able to be processed and the pro establishment come decided in a sense to take matters into their own hands and there was this clash inside parliament not a very edifying site 14 legislators from the prodemocracy come were ejected a Security Guard was injured one legislator was also injured now why does all this matter because it hong kong in september there are going to be elections for the Legislative Assembly and its quite possible that some of those members from the Democrat Party who were objected from parliament of monday will now be disqualified thank you thank you very much for that adrian brown live for us there in hong kong. In other news a syrian man accused of state sponsored torture and murder is giving evidence in his trial for the 1st time to allege former Intelligence Officers are in a court in koblenz in germany theyre accused of committing crimes against humanity in the early days of the Syrian Revolution is the 1st time president Bashar Assads government sanctions have been prosecuted abroad as we talk correspondent in germany dominic cain who was in berlin for so dominic tell us what were expecting to happen in court today. Fully the one of the peculiarities of the german legal system as it regards trials such as these is that the defendants dont have to make an official plea when they 1st appear in court and they are charged with the indictments that so this is the 2nd day of the hearing on the 1st day we did not hear from either defendant and so we had to we dont know as it were what their plea is going to be we are led to believe by the authorities in court that one of the defendants is going to make a plea today the defendant concerned as you are saying is accused of very many very serious offenses that are alleged to have taken place in syria while this individual was a middle ranking officer in the security operation of Bashar Al Assads government the offenses allegedly taking place in 20112012 the point here as i say is we dont yet know what this individuals plea will be if it comes today because this individual as indeed has the other person charged in this trial neither of them has spoken in court so far and so as i say it is a belief that weve been led to that this individual will make some sort of plea or or that at least thats his lawyers will make a plea on his behalf clearly very many people are watching this trial because as you were saying this is the 1st time that individuals who are alleged to have played a relatively Important Role in the government in the Security Operations of president bashar assad that they have appeared in a courtroom and obviously very many people are following what is going to be happening in court today thank you for that dominic canine forests and belin.

India has extended a nationwide long for another 2 weeks said saw its highest spike on sunday of kona virus cases with nearly 5000 confirmed cases taking the toll to more than 95000 schools malls and other Public Places world remain closed and shut down as force of Migrant Workers to head back to their home states off and on for this earth branom is in new delhi she explains what is now open despite the extension of. So the big difference in face full of indias lockdown is that the government left it up to states to determine what green orange and red zones within their states and then for them to decide which of the activities that have been cleared by the government will be allowed in these so there is already a lot more activity of people and vehicles out on the roads and thats because things like all markets are now allowed to reopen and known Containment Zones would shops having staggered timings limited numbers of people inside and social distancing social distancing measures standalone shops have been allowed to open the last few weeks but this is the 1st time that markets have been and so we are already seeing more shops opening up in the states of west bengal baba shops and salons opening up also in punjab and in karnataka here in the capital new delhi weve seen no activity at some markets and others i think people are waiting for chief minister Arvind Kejriwal for his address later announcing the exact details for delhi the other big difference as of monday is that people are allowed to travel between states and to States Travel on buses and private vehicles but only between consenting states and were waiting to find out what states will allow that but passenger trains have been going for the last week now but indias overall lockdown has been extended by another 2.
