Suicide attempts fights on board and people jumping into the sea for say humanitarian rescue ship to declare an emergency. And the palestinians being forced to make way for a new high tech carbon occupied East Jerusalem. And oddly wellings with the store snoozes myside is dominate the opening qualifying for the formula one season. Not Lewis Hamilton who takes time for the austrian gold put on somebody the best of the action coming up. More than 200000 people in spain are back in lockdown as the government grapples with another coronavirus flare up residence and part of the north east in catalonia region will not be allowed to leave the local area but on can. Into their homes as an early lockdowns its a 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 to suit u. K. Prime minister Boris Johnson to everyone to behave responsibly. Look at the Johns Hopkins university tell you 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 the number of infections in that in america now exceeds that of europe driven mostly by brazil which is reported over one and a half 1000000 lets go now to. Rejoins me now live from bogota. Numbers in the americas the passing that of europe that is not sort of title that the region wants. Definitely came in that is mostly driven by the numbers there in brazil more than 1500000 people with. 19 the worst affected country in the world after the United States but other countries in the region that actually were able to control the spread of the virus at least the beginning of this crisis like chile like colombia where we are now seeing a serious uptick in the number of infections and that seems to be the case because essentially 2 reasons 1st of all reopening parts of the economy and also because a lot of these countries have large portions of the population that working for him only need to be out and about to make ends meet and this is probably the case why we are seeing now these new numbers going up for example now more than 3 100000 or getting close to more than 300000 cases that. Has more than 10000 people who have died already a very complicated situation some countries are considering going back to full national parentis about the governments are worried that the way to economy i mean said theyre trying to insist on the use of face mask on. Keeping distance is except for brazil where on friday the president there just here both sonar announced he will water down a law that requires the use of masks and most ok sions ok i was down there lets turn and talk about mexico which i believe is raising the alarm about people crossing the border. Yes theres a lot of war you back sick and ill tell you these are worried that what will happen this week and its july 1st its life or its in the United States and a lot of people who live close to the border with mexico might cross to go to beaches in mexico visit relatives and they will be traveling from countries that have also been grappling with the big increase and the number of contingents of thinking about is so texas and california and thats why in mexico of this sided to increase Health Screening at the border and in places where tourists in my gathered also mexican consulates across the United States are actually asking people to try and avoid the traveling if possible unless this they need to do it for some essential reasoning that bama has been in place on all travel except essential travel since march but the reality is that in this border weve seen a lot of people crossing these Border Crossing have been quite busy zone now one of the is right on the other side of sonata which is already the 3rd worst affected state in mexico so a lot of worry there were going to have to see what happens between today and tomorrow. From a very rainy looking. Somewhere its not raining is london and that is where we go to rory chalons in soho rory Super Saturday looks very busy there behind you hows it all going. You know will in any normal piece would be exactly the fun of seeing the be seeing it this sort of time in the evening on a saturday night in Central London the people drinking on the streets getting bit drunk people are eating in restaurants today people. Ive been getting their hair cuts in head dresses theyve been going to Cinemas Hotels are open but this sort of scene has been completely absent from from british life for 3 and a half months or so the government knows that this is a big risk its a big it spectrum and and perhaps it could go wrong and we have been hearing key figures Boris Johnson saying that people should be acting responsibly for switchy the chief medical officer saying that people should be very disciplined when it comes to social distancing as they go out and enjoy themselves well if you can see behind me that if theres that much discipline going on with regards to mosque wearing old social distancing but then of course discipline and alcohol 100 machel bedfellows really and the risk is that this does inflame covert 19 flare ups that we might hear more of those in the weeks to come and i think the government is gambling that if that does happen they might be local ones and they could be handled with local restrictions rather than the returning to the kind of National Title lockdown that we see 5 of recent months in the u. K. Businesses though particularly in the Hospitality Industry have seen only then means because of the economic base theyve had from private and safe so this is essential for them they have to get back operating again theyre doing so at reduced capacity to try and do it as safely as possible bars and restaurants have screens up between tables and they. Digitized menu so people can download them on to their phones scan q. R. Kozik cetera lots of measures that theyve brought in to actually get up and running and try to minimize the contagion risk but of course thats a big gamble well to see whether it works or whether this goes. Down and set it up. Wondering rory if youve spoken to to people there is anyone in any way consume like you said that doesnt seem to be a lot of distancing will mosques that sort of thing it is is there any thoughts to the fact that this is still a pandemic. Well look i think most people in england. Think that they are accepting the cause of a crisis and the risk that people perceive i think in some ways is particular to their age because the most people you can see behind me here are young people who in the main are less in danger of the serious complications and infection from covert 19 can bring so they often has less concerned with mingling amongst themselves theyre also the ones that have more of an appetite for going out and having a good time the people who feel that this is perhaps going too far so you see. People who have Health Complications older generations would be the ones who would end up in a hospital if they got over 90 so i think you know if youre speaking to young people now you know really feeding that in danger and thats why theyre out on the streets and theyre having having a good time but yeah this is certainly as a says its not a risk free endeavor for individuals and for the country and of course whether or not its a gamble that pays off is something that will transpire later down the line but economically its absolutely essential even if this goes well even if for businesses that are opening today they could make enough money to stay there are going to be a plan c. That car until we know that the that there are going to be. Huge numbers of business closures in the Hospitality Industry reset etc in the weeks and months to come. Going live from outside a pub after 3 months of lockdown a very brave rory talents. Well as we mentioned part of spains catalonia region has been closed off with no one allowed to enter or leave there have been similar moves in parts of the portuguese capital but the government there is criticised person from leaving it off a list of safe countries the baba has more opening up for the 1st time in months the archbishop of barcelona joining a group of Health Workers on a visit to the segro to familiar cathedral soon it will welcome residents and eventually tourists spanish and foreign but nobody here is under any illusions that the coronavirus has disappeared you know theyre going to look at once again i think that we have to raise awareness in society and perhaps we havent done it well enough and should try harder it seems good to me that they had a lock down i think its the only way to stop these outbreaks just so elsewhere in the catalonia region theyve imposed a mini lockdown in the rural district surrounding the city of later its after the number of covered 1000 cases nearly doubled in a week to 325 on friday in. Some cases have been linked to fruit picking operations now the areas 200000 residents are banned from meeting in groups of more than 10 and they cant travel outside the zone. The measures come a day after the United Kingdom announced its socalled safe travel list those heading to dozens of countries including spain wont have to go into quarantine when they return notably absent from the list is portugal which thanks to quick action of voided the exponential rates of infections and deaths that spain has suffered on friday portugal reported 374. 00 new covered cases mostly in and around the capital lisbon while the citys a Tourist Destination most british holidaymakers head for the Southern Coast of the algarve region the portuguese government is calling the u. K. Decision census the Prime Minister tweeted comparing covered 1000 cases per 100000 people and stressing british visitors a still welcome the. New i will say that on the 1st of july the United Kingdom had 176 deaths of people from covert 19 and globally we are speaking of a country that has a population 6 times bigger than portugal and has until today 44000 deadly case it is. For now regions across europe which rely on tourism trying to strike a balance between allowing visitors in and keeping the coronavirus at bay nadine barber aljazeera. Chris smith is an editor with a radio show the naked scientists he joins us now on skype from cambridge thank the a time as always chris so Different Countries obviously different stages of dealing with this pandemic localized lockdowns happening in different parts of the world but are we still in the 1st wave. Well the the fact is this that the vast majority of the worlds population remain susceptible to this infection the best data we have based on antibody tests suggests that more than 95 percent of the nearly 8000000000 people on earth currently have not had this virus therefore they remain susceptible so its debatable whether in the 1st wave the 2nd wave or this is all just one giant thing thats going to continue to grumble arm its being heavily colored by or influenced by the lock down because what that did is obviously to chop off the ability of the virus to spread at the knees and suppressed spread in certain territories a lot but obviously as we now relax those restrictions were now affording the virus more chances to spread again and so what were going to see is it re gathering im regaining momentum and the key question is can we control it can we make sure that it doesnt then snowball out of control like it did before most countries in gage did with the lock down if there is no that say which is being flagged at one point at least as a possibility when we have to just maintain social distancing and go through lock downs forever. Well its not a give them that there will be a vaccine there are a lot of projects in the offing theres more than 100 different projects in many countries ranging from australia right through to the us in many countries trying to develop a vaccine so weve got lots of rolls of the dice but it is not a given and you never ever say a medicine anything certain because because its not what were expecting of the people who are making vaccines is a lot they normally have maybe 10 years to develop a new drug or vaccine were expecting them to try and do this in less than 10 months and were trying to do it on the scale of an entire planet weve never made a vaccine against a corona virus let alone a corona virus weve known about for only 6 months and to do it in such a short space of time so it is not a given what that means is we do need a plan b. And at the moment the way were controlling this thing is with Public Health measures that means lockdowns it means social distancing but obviously this is not something we can go on doing indefinitely if you look at many economies around the world theyve locked down theyve controlled the virus theyve gained the upper hand temporarily but then the economy and the Economic Impact means that theyve had to relax those restrictions and then its come back with a flourish so what we may have to do is to have a person leaves a plan b. Where we explore drugs is a possibility its not a given that we wont come up with some drugs that can change the course of the illness we could use those to give people who are at highest risk from corona virus were they to catch it a fighting chance of not having severe disease theres also the possibility that we segregate the population in the sense that we put the people who are most at risk in to a shielded situation and we give them the best protection we possibly can and we say to everybody else whos not in that risk group you can take your chances with corona virus but thats not ideally the so our plan a is lets hope we get a vaccine plan b. As one of these other potentially less appetising possibilities but i think everyone agrees we couldnt possibly carry on going through life the way we are at the moment because it just doesnt feel normal all natural and most people are becoming really quite uncomfortable with having their lives restricted in this way and then going out into the streets in huge numbers when they can i thank you for your time chris smith there an editor with the naked. The rest of the days news is still ahead thousands of people few Wearing Masks crammed together to head u. S. President donald trump delivered a fiery Independence Day speech. Iran accuses the e. U.

The e. U. Foreign policy chief joseph again complaining about the compliance in regards to 2015 nuclear deal now this comes after spoke at the United Nations condemning the European Countries france germany and the u. K. For what he called complacency and not standing up to the United States now this isnt the 1st time that iran has complained to the e. U. Back in 2018 when the United States pulled out of that 2015 Nuclear Deal Iran gave the European Countries those 3 European Countries one year to come up with a way around u. S. Sanctions so the deal could be maintained that the europeans were able to do that. Satisfactory standards. Back in its commitments that deal what has angered and frustrated. Other than what they see as noncompliance and these 3 European Countries put forward a motion to the International Atomic Energy Agency for access asking for access for a number of sites inside iran iran considers those sites not part of the 2015. Or those on military sites but the questions about those sites and activity that took place before the 2015 nuclear deal now iran maintains that its Nuclear Program is for peaceful means and already has access to all Nuclear Sites in iran and 24 sevenths online monitoring but iran has warned that any interference between the iran by Foreign Countries could have a negative impact on that relationship. Attorney 15 Iran Nuclear Deal has survived for more than 4 years but only just it was signed by iran and 6 nations fled by the then the us president barack obama had a deal to lift sanctions in exchange for monitoring of Irans Nuclear activities less than a year later President Donald Trump withdrew from the agreement calling it a bad deal for america and reimposed sanctions the others have tried to keep the pact alive but following another wave of tough u.

Killed its Top Commander its crap all limits on the Nuclear Program. Is a policy consultant on a rainy affairs he says the culminating tension between these countries could bring an end to the Nuclear Agreement. Its very much looks like a situation in which iran is trying to reach. The Legal Process towards a potential end of the Nuclear Agreement with this dispute resolution mechanism if you promise the complaining party it is theoretically in the position to if the responses from the other signatories are not satisfactory to iran iran is in this in the position to say ok then we will leave this agreement so its basically as a colleague from the german as well there is only a lot has already said its a way to legalize irans exit from the agreement with the current state of affairs a very much looks as if were going to see the end of the Nuclear Agreement by the end of this year a lot will depend on the run up to the president ial elections in the United States in the member and if that happened if if the deal fell apart we may even see iran leaving the not Nuclear Nonproliferation treaty n. P. T. And raising the stakes are Nuclear Nonproliferation globally again might be a Better Bargain in position for iran to then enter a new talks directly with the americans at some point next year so the but that the time until then is extremely dangerous and we have to do really brace ourselves for more attention to flare up over the summer and late summer thought how vulcanization is ending its trial of hydroxy chloroquine as a treatment for a crowd of ours patients u. S. President donald trump has taught at the drug is a game changer and said he was taking it himself the w. H. O.

Is a bigger bridge. From prisoner to president. There is no channel that covers world news like we do as a roaming correspondent i am constantly on the go to covering topics from politics to conflict is often by mental issues the scale of this conflict like nothing youve ever seen access to Health Care Law we want to know is how did these things affect people we revisit places and states even when theyre no international headlines. Really invests and thats a privilege as a journalist. The. Watching out just there a reminder of our top stories this hour catalonia is Regional Government of spain has restricted the movements of 200000. 00 people in an effort to contain a spike in corona virus cases residents in the segregated region can leave the local area but im not confined to their homes as in previous lock downs.

Latin america has overtaken europe and the number of corona virus infections its being driven up by brazil which has reported over one and a half 1000000 infections cases in chile peru and mexico so both sharply on friday. Egypt plans to hold the 1st election for its recently revived senate next month 2 thirds of senators will be chosen by the public and the president will appoint the rest of the 300. 00 Member Chamber was dropped from egypts constitution and 2014 was brought back on the amendments approved in a referendum last year both constitutional changes also allowed c. C. To stay in power until 2030 i think most often its founder and chairman of the british arab it work and author of egypt the elusive arab spring he says the political situation in egypt is not conducive for an election. If youve got 70000 people are locked. Down and side jails the loss of many bloggers as we know. A lock in died in prison theres no further trials not present tolans many of them we just had the over last 12 all months about 3000 people were jailed just because the they had to burn its tiny demonstration in cairo so i dont think the public would be left to such exercise of sham democracy i think is the problem in egypt is there is no clear voice for the public theres no proper democracy and the military control all aspects of life in egypt as we know and the corruption to just drive in every aspect in life in egypt egypts top court has upheld a 15 year sentence for one of the leading activists behind the uprising in 2011 other duma has also been fined 370000 dollars as part of his conviction he was one of 230 people who had been sentenced to life in prison following the protest till there had been appeals his sentence and ordered a retrial which led to his reduced time. Well its a dependent stay in the u. S. What americans usually you nice to celebrate the birth of a nation or with a raging corona Virus Outbreak and simmering anger about racism and Police Brutality many opposing protests instead speaking on the eve of National Events President Donald Trump even deeper into his countrys divisions jordan reports. 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 so. 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 us. 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 keeps Public Health Officials Say the event good accelerate the spread of kogut 19 states such as florida texas arizona and california are recording thousands of new cases each day and the National Death toll its near 130008 Top Administration official is urging people to be extra careful they fix feet from others when we can and when we can 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 body. Back at Mount Rushmore a small group of native americans tried and failed to keep the event from Going Forward and the fireworks donald trump wanted lit up the sky a rush of explosions mimicking the tense climate in the u. S. On its birthday rosalyn jordan aljazeera alexandria virginia frankly all robots is the founder of black lives about a syllabus and they professor at New York University he joins us now on skype thank you so much for your time mr roberts thats what a 4th bring up anything different for you this year take on any added significance or perhaps less significance. The for the life yeah. Absolutely well i mean i think you know one of the most d ironic things about the bloody American Experience is that we have always felt like outsiders and insiders at the same time w. E. B. Dubois the black bloc party called this double consciousness and so once again we are in a situation where black americans are being pulled to celebrate a nation that has forgotten the light we were outsiders from and yet weve been here from the beginning and so in that context this 4th of july holiday feels different but it also feels the same. What did you make of President Donald Trump speech at mt rushmore absolutely what can we do i think its important for us to understand to situate donald trump speech as a part of a broader d american story unfolding right now what we are witnessing is about a cultural war so to speak of to all the forces right in the one for the soul of america on the one hand we have the millions and millions of americans whove been involved in the black by the matter with me fighting for the principles of social justice but on the other hand at the exact same time we also have millions and millions of americans fighting for the preservation of White Supremacy. And so i think we know which side of the fence down the trumpet resides or so i think that these 2 forces which have always been at work in america only intensify as we are drawn closer and closer to election 2020 how do you begin to engage people who are afraid of change you know you talk about White Supremacy how do you begin to to to talk to people who believe in that. You know how do you get change across the country. Well thats all right now in america about healing and how do we heal but the reality is can we cant have healing until we have honesty we can never trust until we have assured in the truth of the matter really the United States has always been a place where White Supremacy is really but the good news is its all limited to a place where people are fighting against White Supremacy but until we finally are willing to tell ourselves all of them on truth not only about americas past but also about americas present and how real White Supremacy is in the present we will never be able to transform a society how do you feel the move from protest to policy change to structural change to to root out Structural Racism how do you feel that move is going. On i think this is going why well i think in many ways weve accomplished more a d. 35 b. Given the pilots 10 years i mean you look at. The bill that congress has put all the house of representatives has passed to look at some of the structural changes that you see happening to Police Departments in this country change is happening my concern is its happening in the context where you also have 165000000 americans on lockdown and my concern is once that lockdown is live we go back to normal which means going back to medieval ways to a white supremacist status quo all what are your hopes for what comes out of the momentum that is that is so obviously president in the u. S. Right now. I think that week when my whole is that america will finally come on the nation that it wants to be you know james hall in the black American Writer who used to say that black people black americans love america more than any other place on the globe which is why he insists upon our right to criticize her picture and all the black lights matter whom it is doing is attempting to simply ask america to live close to its ideals and so holy if we can get a little bit more of that america can come closer to the ideals of freedom and democracy that it says it wants to stand for this is all have been border thank you so much for your time frankly on roberts there the founder of that clives matt said the best and professor. Thank you again. The philippines has imposed 48 hour lock downs in areas of manila to deal with new Coronavirus Infections the most severe restrictions imposed since the philippines began easing covert 19 measures several weeks ago i mean their own dog and has more from manila.

April its hard because of that he said thats the sense of people that people dont have enough money in jobs who should staind. People slowly and know the us do it.
