Peaceful protest turns into a crackdown by police and federal offices and Portland Oregon. With millions of american entertainment workers out of a job one group is trying to ask the u. S. Congress to help. The painstaking process of restoring the acropolis in athens as the greek government renews its call for britains return to its ancient treasure. But we began this policy and with the coronavirus pandemic which is spreading further and faster every day now it took the world 2 weeks to get from 1000000 to 2000000 infections and now its taken just 4 days to make the leap from 15 to 16000000 days of from the u. S. Based on top ins University Shows the u. S. Brazil and india are leading that sad and take. A look at this graph here it shows the number of cases at a daily that is clearly rising with more than a quarter of a 1000000 new infections every 24 hours almost 650000 people wild wide and known to have died after contracting the disease or shortly under gallagher in miami will tell us about the 10s of thousands of new u. S. Infections and that is at Londons Gatwick airport with reaction to britains snap decision there to reimpose a quarantine on travelers from spain but 1st this report from. An unexpected change of plans now worse before boarding a flight from spain back to the u. K. These tourists have learned will have to quarantine for 14 days on arrival the country was taken over britain say travel on saturday and the measure took effect at midnight we had a wedding to go to and we help plans to visit friends and family that we havent seen in about a long time im not like i have to cancel all those plans so its really quite upset this sudden reversal follows a surge of covert 19 infections in spain we cry for straight right to be honest because it fails she feels safer in spain would it to the u. K. Before we left the u. K. It wasnt monday cheats rough rice must in a lot of places. But nearly everybody is wearing them so. Many of the new infections in spain are among young people showing mild or no symptoms lockdowns were imposed in some areas and barcelona bars said curfews and many nightclubs closed the Tourism Industry in spain accounts for about 12 percent of the countrys economy and its again her pairing for a downturn more than 20 percent of its foreign visitors last year were british and now france is recommending people avoid traveling there. So far weve had no cancellations but this may create. Doubts for people over the coming weeks i hope there are fewer cases but a lot of work has to be done. The sudden reimposition of restrictions is a reminder to many that even though some walked down measures here recently relaxed the pandemic appears to be far from over. Here. Well now lets speak to the d. M. Bob he is outside got recap for us in london nadeem i see that madrid has been defending their Coronavirus Response there. Absolutely the message from the Spanish Government is that they respect britains decision but they are really trying to get the message to the public that spain remain safe for tourism the foreign minister in the last couple of hours has been saying that. The country is only experiencing localized isolated outbreaks of call that 90 shes mentioned 3 main areas barcelona lariat and saragossa saying that in those cities the the outbreaks are under control and that theyre in her words perfectly traced suggesting that the test in trace system in spain is. In a better shape than it is in britain she didnt say that but thats the subtext and people in spain are pointing out the infection levels could be just as high here as in spain britain said that it had to act quickly after the date or on friday in spain that there were 900 new cases in a 24 hour period as well as these localized outbreaks the British Government stressing that it was always their intention to react to the news like this as the country ease out of its major lockdown and despite its encouragement of people to take holidays in the last month or so and this is clearly caught so many people off god how are people that youre speaking to taking this decision. Well 2 i think its a mixed bag a lot of people are disappointed that they have had to cancel their plans to travel to spain we spoke earlier on to a teacher who in the who works in the middle and here in england shes a key worker so is her husband that trying to go to Southern Spain they cant afford to take 2 weeks off work when they come back so theyre now travelling to edinburgh other people just simply canceling travel plans some people are more resigned as to whats happening saying that they knew there was always going to be a risk its going to be a big hit to the travel industry and to e europes largest Holiday Company is now canceling holidays to maine and spain for the next 2 weeks theyre saying that the government should actually exempt the barley eric highlands and the Canary Islands from that coren scene rule because they have such low infection rates and in fact the Spanish Foreign minister says that shes now trying to get the British Government to do that as well we could see some movement there but certainly there are lots of people whove been inconvenienced and perhaps whove lost money as well as the chance to see loved ones because of this move of their force that way outside Gatwick Airport in london thank you very much name well lets now move over to the u. S. And to Andy Gallagher hes in Miami Florida one of the u. S. States where infections are rising fastest and standing in a place thats really become one of the hot spots hit where president toms even canceled one of his Republican Convention events how is the governor back up being. Well the governor on the scientists is a very close ally of President Trump and fact he spent saturday with the president at the white house but hes big hes coming under increasing criticism because his approach of this is much like Donald Trumps hes refusing to talk about closing businesses once again or scaling back remember were talking about phases that doesnt seem to be a subject anyone talks about anymore and hes pushing parents in this state to put their children back into School Next Month but there is a very much a patchwork approach to tackling this pandemic so youve got the governor not talking about mandating mask wearing whereas here in Miami Dade County the worst affected county in the entire state the mare of miami has put a mandate in order and is reinforcing it with more than 40 Police Officers know that she handed out a fair amount of fines already so i think for many people that is frustrating at the top of the next hour we will get at sundays latest figures and if they follow the pattern that this state has followed for the past 2 weeks were expecting more than 10000 new cases thats been the case every day they peaked on july the 12th with more than 15000 cases the number of deaths here is edging towards 6000 and yet theres still no joined up thinking in this state as in many other states as to how to tackle this pandemic meanwhile the i. C. U. Units in the hospitals are getting dangerously close to being full and these numbers just keep climbing across the whole country and you talk about this patchwork of plates is there a sense that authorizes might be trying to shift their approach to address these numbers. No i mean the short answer is not really yes today 18 states reported record numbers and then mostly in whats known as the sun belt states so youre talking about places like texas and hurricane hanna just hit the coast of texas within the last 24 hours and california is really bad as is arizona and for the last 4 days in a row the u. S. Has reported more than a 1000 deaths per day for the last 4 days so the situation is pretty dire what weve got here is a situation where President Trump hasnt laid out a National Strategy he has passed it on to the states to deal with in many cases the states governors have passed it on to the mayors of large cities and those running small counties to deal with also so that patchwork approach seems to continue meanwhile on the minds of many people here especially parents is do they send the children back to school in the coming few weeks because youve got dr dr anthony found she talking about this not enough science or research known as to how children will react the risk to teaches and yet the trumpet ministration and certainly run the scientists here in florida are pushing parents to get their children back into school and they got together and Miami Florida with all the latest for us thank you very much andy. Staying in the us and protests in the city of portland against racism and Police Brutality and now into their 9th week nationwide demonstrations started back in may after the killing of george floyd and many apple s portland city leaders say anger is being inflamed by president Donald Trumps decision to send federal agents right to get the harding reports.

Now poland is pulling out of a european treaty ended preventing violence against women thousands protested against that planned withdrawal in cities across the country the Justice Minister says the treaty violates parents rights by requiring schools to teach children about gender. Is the usual monet professor at Stanford University and by len he says polands move is part of a wider trend emerging in some Eastern European countries. This is what we thought in the west its the liberal agenda of the European Union but now we see that governments in hungary and in poland self confidentially state that their understanding of europe and what values means and what the role of the family is and how secular the whole project should be is a subject of debate they want a different europe and they choose the timing wisely because we just finished negotiations on the largest package of saudi garrity that was directed linked to the rule of law and the state of democracy and the polish delegation walked home with 160000000000 euros to keep on modernizing the country and its society and now they send a signal to the electorate like the conservative electorate rate we do what we want and we define what our principles and priorities are that is simple convention is not a European Union convention its a council of Europe Convention its is confusing because they even share the same flack but its an independent organization with different members so it doesnt do directly harm with the membership of the European Union but one would expect that potent is as committed as everybody else but the government has a slightly different interpretation of that is the kind of pandemic has been devastating for tests and performance museums have shot there has said empty and constant so festivals have all been cancelled governments have stepped in with support but the form is in the us pushing congress from will when i was on the reports from neil. For better or worse the u. S. Is slowly reopening its economy restaurants parks and even pools have been opening their doors but for some industries there is still no light at the end of the tunnel the health risks of the coated 1000 virus keeping the curtain firmly closed on theaters cinemas and music venues which means no work for millions in the arts and Entertainment Industry people like carson l. Rod and actor whos been relying on the extra federal unemployment payments to make ends meet when Something Like this happens and everything shuts down and theres nothing to hustle for and theres nothing even look for it takes a situation thats already preparing and that makes it. I dont i dont know any other way to describe it but just terrifying im challenging you guys today to become arts heroes thats where the be an arts Hero Campaign comes in a grassroots lobbying effort for arts and entertainment workers its members are imploring u. S. Senators not just to extend the extra unemployment payments before they are set to expire on july 31st but also to come up with a stimulus package to save struggling institutions across the country its not only the biggest theaters like here on broadway that have remained closed but also the smaller independent theaters as well as music venues everyone from actors to actresses to the millions of people behind the scenes maybe facing financial ruin be an arts Hero Campaign organizers point to the 50000000000. 00 bailout given to the u. S. Airline companies. Far more than the 75000000. 00 so far given to arts and entertainment thats despite arts and entertainment they say being worth more to the u. S. Economy we are instrumental and a cornerstone of the United States organizers say they dont want preferential treatment from the government just proportional to help prevent a tragic ending for millions in the industry gabriels on dough aljazeera new york and greece has made the return of the possum a mobbles from the British Museum in london one of its Top Priorities in the meantime a restoration project is underway as that undo the damage that has been done to the building when a british arrest a cracked removed those sculptures back in the early 19th century. Reports from athens. This mobile block is being cut out to make history it will eventually form part of the puffin them when new model is being precisely chiseled to be married to surviving fragments. The reconstructed blocks will be hoisted back into the structure much of the damage to this 2500 year old temple was caused relatively recently just over 200 years ago the 7th removed dozens of sculpted panels to get to them he hoisted masonry off the roof and dashed it to the ground yeah not. To remove something you have to dismantle whatevers on top of it its not like pulling a book off the shelf temple construction was like lego they were built from the bottom up this is why theyve lasted each piece is fitted exactly to the pieces around it and that makes them earthquake resistant the sculptures formed part of the structure this quake Proof Technology has lasted world the ancient greeks connected each block of marble to its neighbor with. Over which molten lead was poured insulated and prevent rust and for 25. 00 centuries these clumps absorbed strains when blocks of marble moved against each other during earthquakes and theyve kept this temple from collapsing but earthquakes have done far less damage than people even those who unlike meant well the clumps used in a 19th Century Restoration rusted expanded and split the surrounding marble and venetian francesco who meant to liberate africans from the ottomans 350 years ago did the most damage of all causing an explosion that ripped the parthenon open visitors are divided over how much of the original parthenon should be restored. Thats better than i think its better when you have your imagination i would love to see exactly how it was i think that would be amazing id love to see exactly how and maybe we have a 2nd chance that he came here i mean showing future generations what was there this restoration wont go as far as reconstruction its a mystery heal the damage. Maurizio me caused greeks hope that part of that healing will eventually be the return of the sculptures that once the doom to their most sacred of monuments jumps or open those films. In 1965 us civil rights activist john lewis led a march across the now infamous bridge in selma alabama demanding black Voting Rights he was knocked down and based on unconscious as a congressman he made that journey again with president s clinton and obama and now in the next couple of hours a little over a week after his passing john lewis will make that journey one last time its part of 6 days of ceremonies planned to remember his leading role in politics and civil rights in the United States well lets now speak to Lester Spence again hes a professor of Political Science and Africana Studies at Johns Hopkins university and he joins us now from baltimore lester as weve been saying today mr lewis is going to be carried across the bridge on which he nearly died at the hands of state troopers while leaving a very peaceful march its a bridge that i believe may even be renamed for him how much has his country your country changed since that bloody sunday was a great question so. One of them so what we see after that are actually 2 sets of policies that i think are really really important 1st of a set of policies that actually open up the United States in terms of the right that make it where my family from to solve for example good participate and social Political Economic life as something close to full citizens but the other thing that we dont talk about this a lot is that moment we also see the doors open as far as immigration so between approximately 1900 and about 19 the 961970 s. The only way you could immigrate into the us into the country was basically if you were white if you were from europe you know from the European Countries what we see as simultaneously what the civil rights legislation is also in the legislation that opens up the doors so immigrants are from asia immigrants from africa emigrants that are from south america emigres that work why and what that does is that starts to transform the country in a range of different ways again politically socially economically even culturally like im a hip hop guy my house guy but as far as hip hop we actually see hip hop come and with. Caribbean emigrants right we dont necessarily have hip hop if a caribbean emigrates and i arent actually allowed to immigrate into the United States so those are a couple of things that are coming as a direct result of John Lewis Nash or less to even amid all of that growing diversity and weve seen protests and in his last days i know mr nuss when he watched the off the mouth of george fights death in one of his last interviews he talked about how that made him cry but that he also hopes that the country was headed towards grace and change are you confident of that change. People ask me this all the time its kind of like a whole question i really dont dont dont have a lot of hope but what i will say is that in moments of intense crisis are moments of tremendous opportunity and we havent seen a moment like this since the beginning of the 20th century and we havent seen political activism like this since the 1950 s. And 1960 s. So what i do believe is that this is a moment where were going to see that type of action translated and enduring Political Action into enduring Political Institutions that will that has the capacity to basically reverse the trying to conceive less to as weve been saying hand one of the phases that mr noah southwest could travel to a peaceful nonviolent protest and we have seen violence of these last 2 months of demonstrations even more so now that these federal officers have been deployed and how would mr know this one protester approached this. I thought i get that question. I think what hed want them to do is to use creativity innovation. And. With that eye towards creating the enduring institutions and practices that were in the bible it stands being that there are bases. There is a way to ask that question where where people are kind of sort of trying to get good people the person asking to talk about the enduring need for nonviolence. The police are brutal so i think that on one hand john lewis would say well you know you know is that in a way that that would create enduring victories in the act now violently but its important for to really understand the violence thats happening here is the bartletts coming from police in this day and we have to keep on reiterate. Lester spence that a professor of Political Science an african a studies at Johns HopkinsUniversity Great to speak to you again here on aljazeera said thank you for being with us thank you all a month before his death john lewis had a message for protest as rallying across the u. S. Following the death of george floyd to give until you cannot give anymore as we reported earlier protests and Portland Oregon have continued after 2 months with many still determined to keep marching until there is real change. Just harmful for whats right for not just because its not like people but the Police Brutality. Lowry was saying im not im not we want change we want justice and thats what were doing tonight and furthermore were here representing sitting here where rick perry. Executive overreach. Ok heres the futurist department. Is performing right now its just disgusting. Showing the world of what they were not serious only serious other people not side like me and. When i grew up either thought this would ever be a president sort of an opportunity but you know every few decades the curtains get drawn back in how old your country can be and right now were told the curtains open were not going to let a close again. Live.
