Almost 75 per cent of recent cases come from 10 countries mostly in the americas and so. Countries must stay alert to the possibility of a resurgence i was a serious elizabeth poor im explains the new locked measures in one of somebody indias most populous cities tonight is chief minister has announced a complete lockdown for chennai and 3 neighboring districts after meeting with Health Experts about the rising number of cases chennai and these districts are going to go back into the type of lockdown that we saw in late march when only essential services were allowed so essential shops will be allowed to open from 6 oclock in the morning till 2 in the afternoon officers are only allowed to have one 3rd of their staff present and while trains and flights will continue all other vehicles will only be allowed to be used for essential or a merge and see services elsewhere in the country in delhi the chief minister has said that they are not going to reimpose the lockdown even though delhi along with tamil nadu in maharashtra are the worst hit states delis leaders held 2 days of meetings with the countrys interior minister about the situation in the capital they have decided to expand testing to anyone who wants to be tested at 1st they had decided to double testing over the next few days and triple after that and then really open it up to everyone they are also going to convert 500. 00 Railway Carriages into nearly 5000. 00 isolation beds and then theyre looking at using sports stadiums and hotels to use at Treatment Facilities thats after the Supreme Court called the situation and delhi where there were a lack of beds and some of the other worst hit cities deplorable its a different story in europe where borders that was shot for 3 months a reopening dominic came reports from one of those borders between germany and denmark. For much of the past few months its been almost impossible for most people to cross here in a region where cross border links are historically strong but now some restrictions have been relaxed and germans living in the border region can cross into denmark as well as some tourists planning a long stay if you are not a german citizen from sleeper hold house then you have to have a purpose for going into denmark it could be you have occasion 6 nights stay in denmark that will be legal purpose entering than mark but while the Danish Police have loosened the restrictions on people coming across the border into denmark on the other side their german colleagues have abandoned them which is exactly what many people in that part of germany have been hoping for for months people like down to christians who manages a number of shops just down the road from the border before corona came almost all of the customers here were scandinavian then suddenly almost all could no longer come here it would be problematic but shouldnt be easy it was a huge issue because the shutdown happened on march 13th when denmark announced no entry or exit and shortly afterwards germany followed suit so weve had 3 months of total loss and thats 3 months of total loss where you cant reduce your ongoing costs thats extreme. Sentiments like that are shared across europe where many countries hope reopening borders will help restart their store economies as here between france and italy and in the french capital they go for a these are now allowing bars and restaurants to reopen fully including eating inside from monday at the e.

In england shops and down toward tractions of c. In their 1st customers since march organizers queued for hours to get into stores on londons Oxford Street shoppers elsewhere in the u. K. Including in wales and scotland are waiting to hear from their governments when they could open up to the u. S. President has confirmed that hes ordering a significant reduction in the number of american troops stationed in germany donald trump says the total will come down to around 25000. 00 soldiers the u. S. Currently has around 34. 00 and a half 1000 tropic uses nato ally of being delinquent in paying for its defense are those contributions to the budget. Germany as you know is very delinquent in their. Payments to nato and theyre paying one percent in this supposed to be a 2 percent and the 2 percent is very low it should be much more than that so theyre delinquent of billions of dollars and this is 3 years delinquent so were removing. A number down to what put in the number down to 25000 soldiers well see what happens mark some a company is a nonresident fellow at the Atlantic Council hes also served as an official of the u. S. Department of defense he joins us now live from washington d. C. Good to have you with us mark germanys ambassador to the u. S. Points out that the u. S. Troops are not there in germany to defend germany but to defend transatlantic security and u. S. Interests surely the president must know that so well see up to here. You know ultimately decides a political decision this is a decision that the president made either by itself or with a very small circle or by his or his many of which did not include his most senior military advisors to reduce the u. S. Presence because he feels that it will benefit in politically in the upcoming election there are very few Foreign Policy successes that the president can point to and china trade deal is collapsing so i think he believes that a withdrawal of u. S. Forces can highlight that this president of the time the economic tightness here in the United States and bringing u. S. Troops home will somehow bring u. S. Dollars home and we will stop the spending countries like germany the problem is u. S. Forces are in europe to defend u. S. Interests and to deter russia as well as to position u. S. Forces in a way that they can reprogram move on to other theater of operations like in the middle east in afghanistan and elsewhere so in many ways u. S. Is shooting itself in the foot and i think most importantly how this decision was made without any consultation with the pentagon which was caught by surprise or any consultation with our european allies just further undercuts u. S. Interests you know again 10000 permanent station forces cant be returned over overnight so the president s ability to fall through instances and its highly in question i think can be written out of an eyeball because they have families with them the in in germany that they have fairly settled. What do we make of those comments when the president is calling germany delinquent if this is all about the optics playing to a domestic audience with him insulting a staunch ally like that. You know i think thats part of it if you have to look at the timing of this decision this comes directly after reportedly chancellor merkel among others were resistant to coming to the United States for a g. 7 summit i think the president was very angry with the chancellor personally over that and it course comes over a frustration that the president has had of germanys inability to meet the 2 percent defense threshold that all allies have committed to in the will summit several years ago so i would not say germany is delinquent they dont owe the United States money they dont know nato money theyre paying their nato do but from the president s perception is that because germany is unable to meet the 2 percent threshold even though it has been rising in its commitment that you has the ability which he does to punish germany by remove the us forces again those forces d are not there to protect germany those forces are there to protect all the you know. Countries as well as to protect u. S. d interests and frankly its being done you know laterally and its a gift to president putin which again i think reinforces d why this president has such a strange relationship with russia and he has now essentially given russia a gift by remove the u. S. Forces without getting anything in return for i was i was going to ask you what this means for nato that the u. S. Is european allies and and and for russia. You know theres a nato defense minister all this week which of course was not supposed to talk about this decision consiste says it came as a complete surprise not only did it come as a surprise to our allies the president did not consult with chancellor merkel he did not inform any of our yeah lies but also he didnt inform his own military leadership the pentagon from my understanding was surprised by this decision there was no planning that had gone into this so now the pentagon is scrambling to figure out where were going to put these soldiers so if anything it just sort of cases a reinforcement of not only us isolation but frankly inept u. S. Foreign policy d where we cant even prepare for a decision in understand how were going to implement it as we essentially make this president makes decisions by the seat of his pants with no real strategic thought or no thinking of what the incorrect is going to be and frankly i dont think the president cares about u. S. Forces returned i think you once the political slogan for his next few rallies where he can say yes returning u. S. Forces even though in actuality theyre not going to be seeing any u. S. Forces flowing to the United States any time soon and frankly moving 10000 soldiers to the u. S. Is going to be very difficult because where you going to put not only d 10000 people but their families schools and other infrastructure thats required goods to many thanks indeed some across cuba i think what the u. S. President says that he will sign an executive order on Police Reform on tuesday but hes been vague about what kind of measures it will include donald trump has held u. S.

Injuring of children in the war in yemen u. N. Secretary general antonio television said that the coalition would be delisted following a sustained significant decrease in killing and maiming by airstrikes and the introduction of measures aimed at protecting protecting children our diplomatic as a james bay is has more now from the un it comes out every year and its the list that no country wants to be all me uns list of the policies that are harming children in conflict zones either killing or maiming children the Saudi Led Coalition has been on this list this year its been taken off the list thats interesting because when you read the body of the report in the section of yemen it says that the worst offender are the who think hes the 2nd worst offender is the coalition of the 3rd worst the government of yemen and yet only the who thiis in the government of yemen are on the list the secretary generals special representative says thats because saudi has been reducing the number of children that it harms and it says that theyre still going to be monitored Going Forward it continued United Nations money and engagement.

Samia sudanese militia facing more than 50 charges relating to the darfur conflict has appeared before the International Criminal court for the 1st time ali kushayb has called the allegations against him true he surrendered last week its alleged that he was leading thousands of faces i was involved in the rape of civilians he faces a maximum sentence of life imprisonment if convicted israel started the construction of a road connecting illegal settlements through occupied East Jerusalem palestinian activists say the socalled american road is part of a wide ranging plan to cut the citys east in the hall off from the occupied west bank ari force reports. A long planned road through occupied East Jerusalem is rapidly taking shape the american road named after a route that was abandoned part built by a u. S. Contractor at the end of jordanian rule here in 1967 will instead become an israeli artery improving links between illegal settlements to the south east and north of the city its supporters call it a bypass that will benefit settlers and palestinians alike. A resident doesnt have to pass through traffic in the city as the russian out of this road the road will of course if the whole population living here who wants to pass from north to south without getting stuck in traffic. But in the palestinian neighborhood have. A very different interpretation that the road is part of israels plan to close off occupied East Jerusalem to the west bank and and any lingering hope of the city being a future palestinian capital this will eliminate the project and the possibility of creating a viable palestinian state initially to a separate the city of jerusalem from the northern and southern parts of the west bank the Reuters News Agency says the road will be 8 kilometers long and include a tunnel under palestinian neighborhood close to the old city and of course none of this is happening in isolation from the current politics the illegal settlements that this road will link are among those that the Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu is promising to start an exciting as early as next month on sunday and monday the u. S. Ambassador to israel has been an annexation talks with netanyahu and his rival turned Coalition Partner benny gantz in an attempt to bring both on to the american policy path in the meantime work continues on the american road just part of what the palestinian leadership views as a decades long process of de facto annexation on the ground are a force that occupied East Jerusalem. The u. S. Supreme court has ruled that l g b t workers cant be fired or face other Workplace Discrimination due to their Sexual Orientation or gender identity the ruling expands civil rights to millions of gay and transgender workers who live in states the provide those such protections and its a blow to the trumpet ministration which argued that gay workers are not covered by federal civil rights laws michaela has more on the ruling from washington. Well more than half of the state in the u. S. Had some form of discriminate tree law in place which is now being cast aside by this momentous Supreme Court decision it was a very major decision indeed given as well that the judge who wrote the majority opinion neal gore search seen widely as a conservative the chief Justice John Roberts sided with core search didnt write his own opinion subscribe completely to what gore search said but gorsuch applied the letter of the law affectively what he did he said it doesnt matter what the drafters of the legislation thought back in 1964 what mattered was actually the words now this is completely opposing the views that dance by the trumpet ministration which it urged the justice to turn my rights to transgender or homosexual persons in the workforce so this is a very significant decision but also a very clear indicator at this particular point that judges appointed by President Trump dont necessarily toe the trump line so very significant that such appointed by President Trump i wrote the majority opinion in this momentous case. The u. S. Has accused venezuela of trying to rig parliamentary elections later this year the new national Electoral Council is dominated by loyalists to president Nicolas Maduro and venezuelas opposition is refusing to recognize it heres a latin america editor lucy. When israel has a new Electoral Council but not precisely the run that mainstream Opposition Leaders had been demanding 3 years 5 new members of the body that should oversee fair and Transparent Elections have taken their seats after having been selected on friday by the progovernment Supreme Court rather than the legislative branch the accelerated process which did not allow anyone to publicly submit their candidacy is immediately dismissed as a fraud by Opposition Leader one by law. We do not recognize any false Electoral Council named by our judicial arm of the dictatorship that has no responsibility for these matters only the National Assembly has a Nominee Committee can present the names and receive the nominated record 3 of the 5 new Council Members are clear government allies and the remaining 2 who claim to be either neutral or government opponents are seen as trojan horses by the mainstream opposition i think one of them is right by the minute he told aljazeera that he hopes that while all who is viewed as venezuelas interim president by more than 50 countries will change his mind it will get him what would a responsible Opposition Leadership do it would wait and see what happens not count the chickens before they hatch because what is at stake here is the destiny of venezuela which we have the right to build if not elections then what alternative do they propose that. Was the opposition and much of the International Community have been insisting on a neutral body that will guarantee that all Political Parties and candidates take part in international supervised elections later this year. Its viewed as the best way out of the israelis deep political and social crisis instead a council viewed as overwhelmingly favorable to the government and picked without consensus is seen as a mechanism to perpetuate president nicole. Grip on power thats at the moment that you council is here to give new dynamism and organize the election of a new National Assembly it must be elected this year no matter what. The u. S.
