Family members and friends are becoming a lifeline for corona virus patients and mexico. After 3 months of closed borders and restrictions through the coronavirus pandemic some European Countries are now opening up to some of their neighbors germany has opened its border to all your members except for spain finland norway and sweden frances president maduro macron is claiming the countrys 1st victory in the fight against code 19 restaurants and cafes are operating at full capacity but micron is cautioning for people to be vigilant while the u. K. Is still working to contain the virus england is easing restrictions anyway allowing nonessential businesses to trade again wales and scotland are still waiting to hear when stores there can open we have teams on the ground dominic amos at the german danish border Natasha Butler standing by in paris 1st lets go to censure. In london our town hall is standing by live so you are on Oxford Street one of the busiest shopping streets perhaps in the world what is there a sense of excitement there nervousness. And certainly a good deal of excitement as we speak outside nike town behind me on the corner of Regent Street in Oxford Street its about to open its doors a large queue thats been snaking around the block for the last couple of hours at least big discounts on display in the windows here up to 70 percent off and people obviously anxious to take advantage of those its not the Shopping Experience people will have been accustomed to before lock down this is the latest step for britain out of its lockdown restrictions shops nonessential shops allowed now to open thats Department Stores clothing shops sports shops book shops and small but with very strict rules in place governing how they operate and how shoppers need to behave the to meet a social distancing rule of course still very much in place not much in evidence in the queue but will have to be observed inside and there i think you can see the queue beginning to move into nike town the history in the making there you go plastic screens around the tills. Clear floor markings youre not allowed to pick anything up you cant touch any of the merchandise you cant even try anything on order which really begs the question in this environment with the pandemic still very much on coronavirus still very much around and how many people are actually going to be keen to come here and and actually take up the opportunity to go shopping while Oxford Street acts estimates that normal footfall will be down about 80 percent despite the reopening of shops thats a return of just 20 percent of business ok for some businesses maybe not good enough for smaller shops with big overheads which is partially why the to meet the rule is now under review frankly a lot of small shops which wont open now a may never open again the journalist talk about some of the measures that you just mentioned like you said when you look at the line there you dont see a lot of social distancing you dont even see a whole lot of masks what are the measures that are going to come into effect today well for things like public transport. Yes well why dont measures also being listed or why the elements of the lockdown being lifted along with shopping masks are now compulsory as of today on public transport interestingly theyre not compulsory as they are elsewhere in europe in stores apart from smaller ones where social distancing is more difficult to cautious line that britain is taking on mosques other elements of the lockdown being lifted today or a wider reopening of schools to older pupils you know so gradually step by step the lockdown is being lifted here and theres a huge economic imperative to do to do so and i think there will be a lot of anxious eyes costs from now on the infectious faction rates of the next week or 2 hoping desperately not to see an uptick in those rates that may indicate the much feared 2nd wave as britain tries desperately to alleviate the pressure on an ailing economy ok john holl live on Oxford Street in london china thank you ok lets take it to paris now in a toss about where is live there so natasha where do things stand with with europe as a whole. Well the European Commission said that it wanted borders to reopen across year from the 15th of june which is today of course so the idea was to get people traveling again and to boost the Tourism Sector across the European Union which has been severely back to by the coronavirus pandemic not was to be a coordinated e. U. Wide response but it really has been anything but to be honest because what weve seen is Different Countries really opening their borders at different paces france for example is an idea all border checks for you citizens traveling into the country however some borders are closed for example the border between france and spain that is because spain has decided it doesnt want to reopen its border into the least june the 21st it could be somewhat later than that belgium greece and followed in the footsteps of france also opening more or less their borders but some countries have decided to keep restrictions in place and norway and denmark for example closing their border their borders really could i should say to sweden but theyre keeping it close because theyre worried about current virus cases in sweden italy reopened its border 2 weeks ago so you can see it was supposed to be this coordinated e. U. Wide response but it really hasnt been asked at all well the french president emanuel micro address the nation and the french people in on sunday night saying that it was very important that people in europe began to feel more comfortable again enough that they can travel around but he said of course the virus is still very much among us however the french president said that france is now in a socalled green zone and what that means is that the risk of infections is lower the government says it is more or less under control in certain restrictions are lifted so for example here in paris bars and restaurants are now fully open however the french president did say of course people still have to be very vigilant working from home is still something that is highly recommended but the focus really is. Im trying to get the economy going again ok Natasha Butler they are in paris and touch to thank you very much its going to dominate came he said the german danish dominic what are their concerns where you are. And well the border here is open the interesting thing to reflect on though is that theres a different approach from the 2 different sides as it were over my Left Shoulder here we are at the crossing between between germany and denmark this is the pad crossing the pad book is the community on the danish side the danish officials are performing controls they are stopping traffic and allowing people through but the people there are allowing through obviously danes traveling from germany but then also germans from the state of trance because this is the state in germany the borders theyre not theyre allowed through and tourists are allowed through if they can prove that theyre going to be staying for 6 nights or more inside denmark but they are that those who dont fall into those categories well they can be turned back the german side however as you can see is clearly unrestricted anyone could travel across the border its the Schengen Area therefore anyone can travel across the interesting point from the communities perspective because on both sides of this border is the closure here has dramatically affected them in terms of their their relationships with each other but also in terms of trade because this area relies to a very large extent on cross border trading i spoke to one businessman one local businessman on the german side who told me that he had lost perhaps 85 percent of his custom in the past 3 months and then the final thing to think about is the German Authorities say that in the course of the current event virus pandemic across all of their borders they have turned back or they had to turn back rather almost 200000 people who wanted to cross the border but didnt fit into the categories of those who were allowed to so you do have this strange sense that on the one side the shang in zone is fully an organ in operation anyone can travel across coming this way into germany from denmark but going that way there are still controls being performed and there are several groups of people who cant travel across. Time and again live at the border there the german danish border dominic thank you now greece is officially opening its doors to foreign vacationers as the tourist season begins people from the majority of European Countries can now enter but if theyre from a region that has been happily badly hit by the virus stores will have to undergo a mandatory test minister care christmas sockeye says its a Pivotal Moment in the fight against crime in a virus tourism accounts for nearly 20 percent of its Gross Domestic Product at least 40000000 soldiers have been killed and dozens are missing after an attack by an armed group that happened in the village of goma cora near the border with martin you on sunday at the u. N. Earlier said gunman killed 2 of its peacekeepers in the North Western region separatist in southern yemen have seized a convoy of vehicles carrying billions of reelz to a central bank forces loyal to the south than Transitional Council that control of aden and april took the cash as it was transported from the port the incident could threaten a fragile peace between the group and the saudi backed government a Russian Court has sentenced a former u. S. Marine to 16 years in prison for espionage paul wieland maintains hes been framed it was arrested during a visit to russia in 2018 illness attending a wedding and was in possession of a flash drive containing classified information is says it was supposed to hold holiday photos. I describe these proceedings is a mockery of justice and today just confirmed. An american citizen has been sentenced to the term 16 years. For me for which we have not seen have been easy to see he was denied the opportunity to present witnesses in the city and was denied the opportunity to work collaboratively with his defense counsel which in his defense counsel opinion or if not defense he said. To this is a mockery of justice at least 20 American Students one of the philippines most prominent journalists and one of her colleagues have been found guilty of libel and encasing is a major blow to press freedom ressa denies the charges over an article on her news website rapper linking a businessman to criminal activity the side was has reported and on extrajudicial killings and abuses torn president time in office she faces up to 6 years in prison or is expected to appeal the conviction now the case is the 1st of at least 8 filed against us a sense of terror they came to office in 2016 they include alleged tax evasion and Foreign Ownership that are banned in the philippines the cyber libel case stems from a 2017 complaint filed by a businessman over a rap or story published in 2012 before the cybercrime law was passed or predicating says he was defamed when he was linked to the then Supreme Court justice who was later removed from office for failing to declare assets the libel complaint was dismissed in 2018 but government investigators later reversed that decision and ressa joins us live now from manila maria thank you very much for your time i guess 1st or your reaction to this. This voting for but then again i cant really say that because i had expected the book to be thrown at me i had expected a conviction id expected worse conditions its a very strange time in my you know you go through an emotional rollercoaster by the time it hit me weve weve crossed another boundary you know the in 2016 the government attacks on social media said that they would try to turn the journalists label to criminal it took 4 years and here we are ive now been convicted but of course we will fight this in court what are the types of ways that obviously this is the most egregious way in which your job has become impossible to do but along the way what were the things that you were saying that you can tell this was going in a bad direction. I think the weaponization of social media was the 1st and this was in 2016 we did one of the 1st stories around the world to look at how facebook algorithms impact them ocracy for this series that we called the propaganda war i was attacked and that kind of weaponization the narratives that were there where i became a criminal or it. Back then translated into the law a year later the same attacks came out of president to characterise mouse and then now it took you know 4 years but now the court has joined in this insidious attack on press freedom and attempt to stifle the rights that are in the constitution. The number of attacks of cases that have been filed in 2011 cases against us and then in 2019 multiple arrests and attention. And now 7 other criminal cases you know so i guess i know what is coming its its like looking at a train wreck happening in slow motion but were Still Standing were going to fight back and while theres a big mirror of moola law were going to make sure that every signature every name judgment s. S. Court today made a decision that will that is now in written down in stone thats a new point when you say we are going to fight back who were the allies of press freedom earlier and your allies in that country. I actually think a lot more because you know again bisa tax had been going on for a while but just in 2023 big things happened very militaristic. Pandemic lockdown the 2nd is just about a month ago on may 5th president detector the administration essentially shut down a. B. S. E. B. M. The largest broadcaster the largest in this country and then just last week the house of representatives passed an anti terror bill but essentially going to codify institutionalized a lot of these abuses of power and once the president turns this into law. You could be arrested without a warrant if you are a government if youre question even government you could be made a terrorist you could be held in prison for 24 days without a warrant these are new things and i think that thats why i feel like we were crossing another milestone with this decision because it is codifying into law 2 major. Processes you know in order the legal acrobatics that happened to get this case to court is incredible the 1st one is that they actually had to change the statute of limitations for libel from one year to 12 years and then they introduce a Novel Concept of republication continuous publication because the law that we supposedly violated didnt exist when we published this story when we corrected a typographical error 2 years later that is the basis of bringing this case to court so im real want to hold the government to account of these so answer me this what affects obviously what youre going through is the most extreme but there is a spectrum of the type of effect that this has on other journalists how do you think this is affecting other journalists are they scared to do their jobs. I think that was at the beginning its 4 years in and i think im hoping that journalists will see and i made this appeal when i talk to them that must do our jobs because if we dont exercise that those rights will be taken away from us and i think this ends for you know all the rights that are guaranteed in the constitution because its 6th on the publics right to know freedom of speech freedom of the press. Im hoping were waking up i hate to be the one you know where the cautionary tale the Chilling Effect happened years ago and now there is enough of a track record the shutting down of the b. S. E. The end being the one before me and then youre a conviction for libel of a story i never had a hand in you know and and one of the things that was that made me both angry and made me laugh was theres a part in the judgment where the judge actually impugned malice by saying that my title executive editor is and this is in her words a clever ruse to evade responsibility that i had that title before this case was filed and ill keep it you know so were going to challenge this in Court Judgment tests made i think she dealt a blow to press freedom but it isnt over a clever title wow well you are very smart woman you are very clever horace maria ressa thank you so much for joining us we appreciate it thanks for having me right. Plenty more had and the news hour including hospitals under pressure in india so whats the government doing to ease the coronavirus burden on Health Care Workers shot twice and in the back more black lives matter anger and atlanta as an autopsy following the Police Killing is released and this team doesnt waste any time getting the job done farwell have all the details and or. Turkish warplanes have several areas in Northern Iraq targeting kurdish separatist fighters its part of a new operation against the Kurdistan Workers Party or p k k Turkeys Defense Ministry says its in response to an increase in attacks on its army bases p k k its designated a terrorist group by turkey United States and the European Union the hearse and Workers Party was formed in the late 1970 s. Calling for free and dependent kurdish state and launched an Armed Struggle in 1984 and is now listed as a terrorist organization by the by turkey the un the us as we mentioned there more than 40000 people have been killed in the conflict mostly kurds and southeast turkey the groups attacks are generally aimed at military and police but civilians have also been targeted its estimated there are 40025000 members of the p. K. Came more than half located in Northern Iraq the main base and Training Camps have been in the candle mountains since the mid 1990 s. The cave leader and founder of bella a colony has been in prison since 1990 now advocates for more kurdish autonomy rather than a separate state there have been several cease fires the last of which ended in 2015 but we live on a fault in baghdad shortly 1st get to. Istanbuls in brazil is is there with the latest so why now send him. And i will do so according to the statements by the turkish Defense Ministry it has been an ongoing process the p. K. K. Forces on the iraqi side have been harassing the Turkish Military bases and the police stations and the pats roles and defense minister ses this is a selfdefense operation what makes this operation different compared to the ones that have been ongoing since the 990 s. As you have sat is that the previous operations. They were very some of them were very big scale have been pinpointed go gracious but this time the Turkish Air Forces with the f. 16 fighter jets have targeted 3 locations they come the mountains cork and other places and the area around the khan the mountain is a euphemism for the p. K. K. It is called the media Defense Centers or areas which means that all the logistic law and all the comments ship has been there so the Turkish Military has targeted the logistics connections of the p. K. K. So it is a big loss for the p. K. K. According to the Turkish Military side and the Defense Ministry side. But i also need to explain the situation of the area the area that have been targeted by the Turkish Military forces have been under the control of the p. K. K. So neither the Kurdish Regional government neither barzanis sullivan is nor. Iraqi government has control over there thats why the turkish mother tree has as always had on all of the 3 operations over there and. Apparent they what i have learned from the source is. There has been ongoing discomfort on the turkish side about these arrests months by the p. K. K. And last week. Intelligence you come feed them a visit to iraq a capital of baghdad then he mat with the a Prime Minister who has been the intelligence chief his former counterpart and as far as we have learned from the source is an uncle or out how coffee down the turkish until chief has also expressed the concerns and of discomfort turkey has had from the p. K. K. So there is a belief that this operation was actually coordinated with bug that overshadow thank you cynical still alive in istanbul ok the other part of the story of course is happening in baghdad and that is for someone to alton is live so whats happening there some on em. Well weve now heard a condemnation from the Iraqi Government calling the air strikes on iraqi soil as a provocative behavior that are not in line with International Conventions interesting lee the same statement also mentioned that iraq would cooperate with turkey on any Security Matters around the border and we also understand that the ministry of interior and defense sent a delegation north to look into the situation now its not a new unusual as in a mentioned earlier that turkey targets pick a position inside iraq but this was 5 by far the largest attack we have seen over the past years and it has particularly drawn a lot of criticism within iraq because one of the areas that was targeted was syndrome which is home to the years easy community and thats remember that this community has been through a lot over the recent years since 2014 when eyes will 1st swept through the area carrying out a genocide against these you didnt of course affiliated at that time its local affiliate in a sense are played a huge role in opening a humanitarian corridor to allow you to escape and that has earned the group a lot of Popular Support now now these you just feel that theyre in a way being caught up in this a tug of war for power in the sindar the region has really struggled to recover because many different groups including putting the kurds the different militia are vying for power and this airstrikes are further complicating the situation we spoke to one activist on the ground who lives in sindh jar and what she said was that these airstrikes actually hit very close to camps for displays diseases who have been trying to return to sender and to resettle and of course the Resistance Unit that is affiliated with people lives very close to these camps so we can see just how complicated the situation is these airstrikes further complicating what is already a very. Fickel situation in center are but what remains to be seen is how the government of Prime Minister mr fogg the me will react because one of the key areas he has emphasized during his short tenure is iraqs sovereignty he has reiterated many times that he will not accept iraq being used to settle any kind of regional scores beat between the United States and iran but also other regional nations so it remains to be see seen what today will be further follow up actions taken in the coming days and how the government will respond ok sort of ultimate the latest back that its going to thank you.
