From aljazeera as elizabeth purim who explains the new lockdown measures in one of saud indias most populous city. Were not as 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 Emergency 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 theyre looking at using sports stadiums and hotels to use Treatment Facilities thats after the Supreme Court called the situation and where there were a lack of beds and some of the other worst hit cities deplorable. President donald trump has confirmed that hes ordering a significant reduction in the number of u. S. Troops stationed in germany he says the total will come down to around 25000. 00 soldiers the u. S. Currently has around 34 and a half 1000 trump accuses his nato ally of being delinquent in paying for its own defense and that its contributions to nato has budgets 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 were putting the number down 225000 soldiers well see what happens mark some accompts is a nonresident fellow at the Atlantic Council and previously worked at the u. S. Department of defense he says that trump is incorrect to keep suggesting that germany owes the u. S. Money from nato. 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 any course comes over frustration that the president has had of germanys inability to meet the 2 percent the feds threshold that all allies committed to in the well summit several years ago so i would not say germany is delinquent they dont owe the United States money they dont own 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 higher than the u. S. Forces but again those forces are not there to protect your money those forces are there to protect all the you know. Countries as well as to protect u. S. 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 hes now essentially given russia a gift by remove the u. S. Forces without getting anything in return the saudi Led Military Coalition fighting in yemen has been removed from the United Nations blacklist it decided several years ago because of the number of children being killed and injured in its counterpane in support of yemens government against hoofy rebels the removal of strong angry reactions by yemenis on social media some describing we had some taxes unforgettable war crimes i mean want to see a hoot the official says the decision was followed by saudi attack a little Western Province of salva leaving at least 4 children dead on diplomatic it is the james bays explains why the coalitions been removed from the list. It comes out every year and its the list that no country wants to be all new 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 and continue United Nations morning an engagement you. Will ensure is sustained the implementation of the program. And the barrier to be creased in the number of. The u. N. Failure of who we. Were dressed in a really thin or the thing about a nation in my name you say failure surely its a failure this year when theyve killed or maimed 222 children because they still are. In the theater are you thinking any general meeting and i think you will and it would mean that if the president if one wishes you to land in the. Fiber of the ring or where your money doesnt make any difference in place or 20 months to a sure end the completion of all the mentioned you know guinea human rights organizations though are not happy with that response Human Rights Watch says shame on the u.

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 but a resident doesnt have to pass through traffic in the city thats the russian out of this road the road will of course if the whole population living here wants to pass from north to south without getting stuck in traffic. But in the palestinian neighborhood of. A very different interpretation of 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 Us Ambassador to israel has been an annexation talks with netanyahu and his rival turned Coalition Partner benny gantz in an attempt to bring both onto 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. President says that he will sign an executive order on Police Reform on tuesday donald trump has hailed u. S. Law enforcement as being made up of quote mostly great people trump says that his executive order will ensure reforms are fair just and safe it follows mass protests after the death of george floyd in Police Custody in minnesota john malcolm is Vice President of the institute for Constitutional Government and senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation hes with us now live from washington d. C. Good to have you with us sir so the president says that his executive order will ensure that Police Reform is done fairly safely and justly but what practical measures should the order contain. Well and truly releases it it will be hard to know i have heard that the executive order is going to include credentialing of Police Departments so that they have best practices on things i. D. s collation techniques and use of force standards and Community Engagement practices its going to be a lot more information sharing about officers. In engage in violations of Excessive Force policies and Police Department will be able to access that information so that a bad Police Officer doesnt move from one department to another theyre also going to be i believe. Training a stablished for Police Officers to deal with people who are homeless or or addicted to substances or suffering from mental disorders and theyre going to be working with social workers and psychologists in a co Responder Program and then theres also going to be a lot more grant money to assist with things like recruiting and retaining you know high performing officers access to Mental Health programs for officers and other programs to support a more robust and productive Community Engagement is this something that needs federal involvement ive been a executive order shouldnt this be something that is handled it at state city and county level given how Police Forces a structured in the United States. Yes so thats certainly true however the federal government certainly can help they can they gather a lot of information that can be used to develop best practices they have a lot of experience dealing with small medium sized and large Police Departments and of course our own federal agencies and there are grant funds that can be available to help the fray all the costs that many small and medium size Police Forces cant bear but should that be as has been reported and indeed you were alluding to it just of a bill to financial incentives for Police Departments to to adhere to best practice well its not so much financial incentives as much as its to give them the ability to spend all the time to submit all this information and go through all the training all of that cost money and some small localities cant quite afford that so its not so much you know that they need the money in order to be incentivized to do this but its certainly helpful and enables them to do this is this an issue that the president can get on top of i mean 1st of all does does the police in the u. S. Through the police and the u. S. Needs to be reformed a bit is is it something that the president can do. Well look there are a lot of reforms measures that are out there everything from what you know what i just outlined in the executive order to some calls to defund the police or to dismantle Police Departments there is a broad divergence of opinions as to the extent of the problems but it is clear that there are problems whenever an unfortunate incident such as the totally unjustifiable killing of george floyd occurs it creates massive problems not only in the communities where the police are supposed to serve but the Police Forces themselves all of a sudden dail lives become imperiled and it becomes much much more difficult for them to develop trust in the communities that they have sworn to protect and serve i do not happen to believe that there is systemic racism within the Police Department indeed there are more africanamerican serbian Police Departments and never before and many major Police Departments are headed up by africanamerican chiefs of police but that doesnt mean that there are a bad cops within the Police Forces and probably even some racist cops and they need to be weeded out and any time there is a problem like this again the police suffer so we need to minimize the likelihood the problems like this will occur in the future could start to so many thanks to joe miller in washington good to be with you on the Police Shooting of a black man in the city of atlanta has been declared a home aside by a car in a brooks was killed by police in a drive through restaurant on friday night resisting arrest for failing a sobriety test he was shot twice in the back of death rick nice had protests in atlanta.

Meanwhile europes borders are reopening 3 months after they shot but it came reports from one of those borders between germany and denmark.

It was issued 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 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 strong economies as here between france and italy and in the french capital your fortys are now allowing bars and restaurants to reopen fully including eating inside from monday at the e.
