And sport the west indies are fighting to avoid defeat in the deciding task match against england stuart broad taking 8 wickets in the match so far and closing in on a series victory. A powerful politician who stood alongside Martin Luther king jr as a civil rights pioneer in the u. S. Has made a symbolic final judie 55 years ago john lewis was knocked down and beaten unconscious on a bridge in alabama for demanding that black people be given the right to vote his. Bodies been taken across that bridge in selma one last time its part of 6 days of ceremonies to remember the 80 year old who died after battling pancreatic cancer lewis was one of the socalled big 6 of the Civil Rights Movement led by Luther King Jr he helped to organize the march on washington where king delivered his historic i have a dream speech lewis was elected to the u. S. House of representatives in 1986 the democratic congressman served right up until he died 9 days ago ill just sirus and he gallagher has been watching the memorial from miami in florida hes with us now live and he took us through the significance of this moment in selma today. Well this is a significant moment for a man who was considered a civil rights icon more accurately a civil rights giant he passed peacefully over the Edmund Pettus bridge but that wasnt the scene 55 years ago in a day that came to be known as bloody sunday when john lewis and other people back ling for the right for all africanamericans to get the vote cross that bridge they were bent by alabamas state troopers under the orders of a racist governor who ordered them to stop them at any cost john lewis himself took a billy club to the head one of 40 times that he was arrested in his career and as someone who was fighting for civil rights that day that bloody sunday really changed the mood of the United States that pictures were broadcast across the country the still pictures were seen in newspapers everywhere and it really solidified and intensified that fight for the Voting Rights act which was then passed john lewis went on to serve in the congress he was often called the conscious of the u. S. Congress a man who spent his entire time in Political Office fighting for those less fortunate than themselves not just africanamericans he also fought for native american Voting Rights he strongly represented him was a voice for the l. G. B. T. Q. Community and somebody i think whose work who literally spilt blood for the causes he fought d for was respected by all both republicans and democrats he was no fan of President Trump he didnt attend his inauguration but i think he will be seen as somebody who whose whose words among many will be remembered by generations to come he said look freedom isnt something that its given it is something that is fought for and when you think about the Voting Rights act this wasnt something voluntarily written up by politicians it wasnt voluntarily passed in the congress it was forceful by people like john lewis who in fact spoke the. Same day in washington d. C. But dr Martin Luther king jr did it with his very famous i have a dream speech i was there as an added gallagher reporting live from Miami Florida but he thanks andy thats bringing us political analyst eric ham from washington d. C. Eric what are your thoughts on the significance of this moment and so much of a following the policy of the last civil rights icon if you like of his generation sure i mean while we are certainly memorializing this civil rights icon john lewis and doing so in the fashion that he should certainly be awarded we cannot forget that there are so many protests so many demonstrations that are taking place today and john lewis is the the bearer of the flag bearer of which he has handed this but on off to now a many of these demonstrators in protest that we are seeing in fact if you just go back just a few years ago when john lewis was still marching steel advocating for rights i mean he led a sit in in the u. S. Congress on the Chamber Floor and it was so of back the House Republicans will were in charge at that time actually ordered c. Span to actually turn off the cameras so americans would not see it so clearly what we are seeing here is a new generation of activists shaping and pushing it agitating for civil rights and social justice for all americans and that think that the moniker of john lewis to to to get in trouble necessary trouble good trouble we are seeing that take place today and clearly john lewis is actions and john lewis is words continue to resonate for Many Americans today so as far as im concerned that there is a lie theres theres a cause the cause for optimism an end in sight to the lifelong fight of john this. I dont know if im willing to go that far but i do believe what we are seeing is were seeing that baton being passed on john lewis as you said one of the big 6 who were in leading and fighting for civil rights and human rights for americans back in the sixtys and has continued to do so remember he was seen and often referred to as the conscious of the congress and so i think what were saying is john lewis not only the man not only memorializing his actions of 60 years ago but also were seeing them play out today with so many people continuing to fight because again Americans Still believe that that the United States has not lived up to its ideals in fact when you look at what took place with george floyd more than 3 months ago and americans continuing to protest and demonstrate across this country in fact protests are continuing in Seattle Portland colorado other cities across the country and many there are there theres there there were their willingness to lay down their lives to what john lewis did so young an age and what he contained to do even until the day to what extent to day events in selma old as he is a go. Become a burden if you like the beginning of his his lifes work a responsibility that that he would shoulder for the rest of his days. Sure i mean when you when you think about it were talking about a very young man only in his early twentys laying his life on the line i mean that is clearly a fork in a role d that many young people frankly dont have to make that decision today many young people are choosing to to go to college and they have that right where is john lewis as you mentioned was arrested multiple times numerous top arms and so clearly you know there was so much danger so much threat around his life but he continued to lay his life on the line for what he believed in so that people today can experience the ability to walk to breathe which were still seeing many millions of americans fight for across this country eric really good to talk to you again many thanks to derrick ound there live in washington the u.

Londons Gatwick Airport and plenty of people flying off on holiday but for those traveling to spain its a confusing time face with 2 weeks in quarantine on their return this teacher and her husband decided to cancel their trip to the countries south where we were going there is no outbreak so why dont some want them to look at regional lockdowns like madrid in barcelona like why not you know shut those down and then leave the tourist a bit open and thats a question being asked by some travelers heading to london from madrid i think it so its pretty bad because its just come all of a sudden its not given people much time to prepare.

And i was expecting it to be honest spain recorded more than 100 new covered cases on friday in major cities including barcelona have seen a surge in infections with Health Officials warning a 2nd wave could be imminent the British Government says it had to act quickly to avoid reinfection and a possible lockdown but the message from spain is the country is safer tourists like in any other european country we are seeing outbreaks the outbreaks in spain are perfectly controlled we have 3 that are the most important outbreaks at the moment in barcelona. All of them are perfectly traced.

K. And an expert in Disease Control he says the global surge in cases was entirely predictable. It surprises me that people are surprised and ask questions like where did this come from it is inevitable and obvious if we have a large number of cases and then we move from a environment of a lock down to having people go back to work and mingling and socializing one meets the other and people get infected and they make more cases the other thing that makes coronavirus cope with 1000 disease so difficult to control is because many people are infectious without showing any signs and symptoms of illness and that makes control that much more difficult and thats why we get these sudden surge of cases all over the country and oh well all over the world measures such as Infection Control social distancing wearing a mask are important other issues that have already started we ought to stop it so for example cinemas theaters crowded bars and nightclubs those are places where infection will inevitably transmit and weve got to say no weve got to have restrictions that Outdoor Activities are a lot more safe than indoor activities so what we have to do is accept that it will happen work in partnership determine what is safe and do the safe things and dont do the unsafe things.

Restoration is on the way on one of the worlds most famous ancient monuments the parthenon in athens as withstood the test of time for 2 and a half 1000 years and repairs are finally being made to damage done by a 19th century british aristocracy another top priority is the return of artifacts that the greek government says he stole Johnson Office reports. This marble block is being cut out to make history it will eventually form part of the parthenon where 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 of elegant removed dozens of sculpted panels to get to them he hosted masonry off the roof and dashed it to the ground yet nobody else is now 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 iron clamps over which molten lead was poured insulated and prevent rust and for 25. 00 centuries these clumps absorb the 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 clamps used in a 19th Century Restoration rusted expanded and split the surrounding marble and venetian Francesco Morosini who meant to liberate africans from the ottomans. 350 years ago did the most damage of all causing an explosion that ripped the path of open visitors are divided over how much of the original parthenon should be restored. I think its. Imagination i would love to see exactly how. We have and maybe we have a chance that. Future generations there this restoration. Reconstruction its is to heal the damage. Caused greeks hope that part of that healing will eventually be the return of the sculptures that once adorned to their most sacred of monuments jumps.

Is a professor of global history at the university of hamburg he says the legal status of artifacts varies from country to country. In france for example. Legal provision that you cannot arrest you tube and he objects once they are in him yes you know it needs a. Legal solution in germany its very similar the Museum Directors even if they want which i doubt they wouldnt be able to restitute object in even great in great numbers so its both the Museum Directors who are professional who want to keep for it to have caught im to put politicians who dont put pressure on them or who dont create the league or frank which makes it possible to return French Parliament passed legislation to bieksa go to return 26. 00 or 30 object which is is is just as more figure compared to the 1000s of objects which were due to turn stolen during colonialism i think its going nowhere because the European Museums are basically food of looted octet and the European Museum at me straight has put it in half rate that once you start a process of restitution you can stop it and that museums will be will be emptied and secondly the question of who to dock jets leads to the question of colonial legacy at large and that means where that he could use tube you should have the us on earth comes from and that we have 600 years of colonial exploitation to to discuss and to find a remedy for this and include distribution of people shy away from in the past in europe shy away from this big crushs.
