Of people few of them Wearing Masks crammed together to hear u. S. President donald trump deliver a fiery Independence Day speech. Suicide attempts fights on board and people jumping into the sea horse a humanitarian rescue ship to declare an emergency. More than 200000 people in spain are back in lockdown as the government grapples with another coronavirus flare up residents in part of the northeast in catalonia region will not be allowed to leave the local area but arent confined to their homes as an early lockdowns are very different story in england where queues have been forming for whats been dubbed Super Saturday pubs restaurants and bars have reopened for the 1st time in 3 months there are fears however that it might be too soon u. K. Prime minister Boris Johnson is urging everyone to behave responsibly. A look at the Johns Hopkins map shows us how far most of the world is from getting this pandemic under control the number of cases worldwide now stands at just over 11000000 more than half a 1000000 people have died in americas Coronavirus Infections now exceed that of europe has been driven mainly by brazil which has reported over one and a half 1000000 infections. I will get to that america in a moment with allison. And bogota 1st to rory chalons in Central London rory Super Saturday looks busy way you are how are things going. Yeah kim there is something of a Party Atmosphere here i think in soho and i imagine there are scenes like this going on all over england so the other parts of the u. K. Are having their own difference timetables for things similar measures but from today in england you can go out to the you can go to the head dresses you can go to the cinema or to a restaurant have a meal and you can stay in a hotel perhaps the most significant package of steps thats being taken in this incremental passage out of lockdown for englands this one though carries a great number of risks though its a gamble that the government is taking they know you this they are urging as you said just now people so you behave responsibly Boris Johnson has said that the chief medical officer officer said that and you can see why because you know when you have a sense of liberation with a lot of alcohol thrown into the mix then there is the potential for people to get a lot closer than they have been doing over previous months and that could lead to flare ups of covert 19 a little way down the line the government is hoping that if that does happen that they can deal with those flare ups with the localized measures localized lock downs and not have to go back to the National Lock down that the country is emerging from the moment that businesses here are having to go through various measures to make themselves as safe as possible to open theyre putting screens up between tables theyre making sure that everything is technology menus of being downloaded on cell phones so that people dont have to. Touch those except there is capacity reduced so that people dont get close to close together but it is a gamble its a gamble that the Hospitality Industry has to take because it has been on its knees because of private 90 even if this goes well economically and health wise over the next few months there are still going to be many many businesses that dont make it through this crisis thank you for that rory talons there live from Central London. Well as you mentioned part of spains catalonia region is being closed off with no one allowed to enter what and leave the team baba has more on that now from london. This is a very localized its a lockdown a mini lockdown if you like it concerns a fairly rural area of catalonia in northeastern spain around a town called later on friday the Health Authorities there said last week there had been almost doubling of coverage 1000 cases from 1672325 now theyve told people that they cant leave the area and people wont be allowed to enter the area as of saturday its not a full lockdown as spain had before which was very very restrictive but theyre telling people they cant gather in numbers of more than 10 so its a Big Inconvenience and it will be a worry some of these cases are have been linked to fruit picking operations in the area others to at least one care home and we know that there are at least 2 care homes near the regional capital barcelona that have been closed now in the background to all of this yes spain has got on top of its National Pandemic if you like but they have just started to receive tourists notably from britain but on friday britain announced its own list of socalled safe countries where if people traveled there they wouldnt have to be in corinth seen when they returned spain very noticeably on the list along with places like italy and so the Tourism Sector in spain very keen to put out the message that localized outbreaks will be. Lepton if you like brought under control rapidly i think thats where the impetus is coming from. To latin america now its on the ramp and he joins me live from bogota. As you were saying earlier the numbers in that america have now surpassed that of europe mean that is not the sort of title that the region wont says. Definitely came and of course brazil has the ball the case is more than 1500000 there but we have seen a sharp stick in the number of contagions in Different Countries that have done a good job in controlling the spread of the virus especially beginning with very strict isolation measures for example in chile here where we are in colombia or numbers have been going up in the last few weeks as these countries that been reopening their economies or at least that part of it now some people here would like to go back to a full quarantine full National Quarantine but most governments believe governments believe that now will not be possible especially in these countries that have a large part of the population that works informally needs to be out in about to make ends meet so some of them are considering localized isolation measures but most governments are just stressing the need of using face masks and trying to maintain social distancing but even in this case it seems to be a case on its own because president jiang here both in our own friday announced that he will water down the law requiring the use of masks in his country and. If we tend to make some kind of 1st take in traditionally it was america that was worried about people coming into its territory but now with americas call that number is rising mexico are the ones raising the alarm. Well the numbers are quite dramatic in mexico as well but of course theyre looking at the us with now almost 3000000 cases in there where you were either specially this week in this long 4th of july weekend with people crossing into mexico to go to beaches visit friends in relatives from states that have seen that have been grappling with the higher number of cases in hospitality stations and thinking about the texas arizona and california recent to say its just on the other side of sonar which already is the 3rd worst affected state in mexico so mexican torrie. Increase controls at the borders and also held screening that only at the border but also at the beaches and places where a lot of might gather and mexican consulates across the United States have been calling on people to try and avoid the all travels that are not essential however a ban to essential travel is nonessential travels have been in place since march but all those borders remain quite busy so were going to have to see what happens between today and tomorrow how many people will cross and well have to see if they will mean an increase in infections in coming weeks. For us in bogota thank you. The United States remains by far the worst affected nations hit by the pandemic but donald trump made little mention of it during a speech at the foot of a john monument which on his president s of the past as rosenthal reports he dug deep into his countrys divisions. Donald trump kicked off the long Independence Day weekend with a trip to Mount Rushmore but instead of making a claim for National Unity at a monument honoring for us President Trump attacked protesters who want to take down monuments honoring slave traders and confederate general. Angry mobs are trying to tear down statues of our founders to face our most sacred memorials and unleash a wave of Violent Crime in our cities many of these people have no idea why theyre doing this but some know exactly what they are doing they think the American People are weak and soft and submissive. But know the American People are strong and proud trumps tone was angry he accused the racism protesters of engaging in quote far left fascism and he vowed to not just prosecute statue top lawyers but to also build a new monument on during the people he called true american heroes they want to silence since. But we will not be silenced. Except for a reference to Health Care Workers at the start of his speech trump said nothing about the covert 1000. 00 pandemic hes already been criticized for bringing together in a tight space 7500. 00 spectators with no physical distancing or required face mask use Public HealthOfficials Say the event could accelerate the spread of covert 19 states such as florida texas arizona and california are recording thousands of new cases each day and the National Death toll its near 130000. A Top Administration official is urging people to be extra careful stay fixed feet from others when we can and when we cant stay 6 feet from others please im begging you where a Face Covering some florida resident piled into a public hearing to say the government had no right to tell them what to do no matter what you want to believe this is a very political issue it is patriots versus communists i dont care how you feel i will not be wearing a mask i will not go to jail and i wont pay a 500. 00 fine thats against the law for you to even threaten us with that since when do i not get to either my back.

Lets bring in Norfolk Mostafa he is the founder and chairman of the British Arab Network and author of egypt the elusive arab spring and he joins us now from london thank you for your time sir so you believe this is a diversion tactic by can you explain it to us. Thats the case because egypt is in the really dire financial strain sion eventually the economists collapse the journalist says she just heard about 12000000000 dollars this year alone and the handling of corner virus epidemic in egypt is really shambles why are dozens of doctors being detained and many died as we know i think these elections senator or Shura Council elections are totally pointless exercise because hes got a parliament and the parliament hardly any discussed anything of value to suit to benefit the public have not discussed they are in essence to be or has not discussed the management of the epidemic has been discussed the economy collapsing cannot discuss agriculture land which is going to shrink was that i think his tactics are quite well known particularly hes going to appoint 100 members of the 300. 00 council plus theres another 100 which come from the 2 list which we dont know how its going to be selected elected and how why he rushed elections so fast in the middle of epidemic thats really where people have to watch social distancing is a really totally pointless exercise from china actually see do you think the people of egypt held any faith in this process.

Patients in hospitals hospitals are not well equipped to meet the demands of the. Pandemic and.

Israeli authorities are planning to turn an industrial neighborhood in occupied East Jerusalem into Technology Home but opponents say the project is another attempt to illegally solidify israeli control of the occupied Palestinian Land for a force that reports.
