Lockdown italy is reopening its borders to travelers from europe to rescue the countrys Tourism Industry but many visitors are still afraid to come. Im gonna thank you for joining us demonstrators in the u. S. Have taken to the streets for the 8th night in a row many defied curfews imposed in a number of cities but the protests were relatively calm compared to previous days the demonstrators are demanding an end to racism after a white Police Officer killed an unarmed black man george floyd by kneeling on his neck the mother of floyds daughter made an emotional appeal to people in the u. S. A powerful symbol of loss but now without a father. This is what. Those. And then the dame. They get a gun from home and be with a family. You see on the. Ball. Down the mother of George Floyds daughter calling for justice. And cured because they want justice. I want justice for him because he was good that i the frustrating at the lack of accountability around Police Brutality grows all across the United States dozens of cities saw mostly Peaceful Demonstrations continue in violation of curfew orders. As long as i can remember there has been a systematic inequality in this country i can only attest to what i know i can attest to being profiled i can attest to being a marginalized person and if we dont speak up against injustice anywhere then no one will speak up against. Us President Donald Trump told for the National Guard the military to crack down on what he called the bugs responsible for violence but the protests go on i think i demonstrators i came to avoid the fog label this man band of love your street sign in washington d. C. Police grew impatient as the knot went on in new york city offices began arresting people for not following their cathy areu move her fears of her to her job but with many protesters around the country refusing to go hard in the world watches on to see just how much force will be authorized by officials i. Lets get the perspective of adding up on all now she is a us born historian of anticolonialism an activist and writer and a Research Fellow at the Max Planck Institute of history of science here in berlin and i thank you for joining us youve been blogging about the death of george floyd and the black lives Matter Movement how are you feeling about what is happening in the u. S. Right now. So to be honest the species felt like a century and i was born and raised and protect america and. Americans most of. The what happened. Happened to. Have happened to Trayvon Martin center planned and so many others is because of the incident connection and knowledge we have about how United States and most of the world is unjust to black people and against a history of sleep the 1st slave who came and. 1619. 00 continues and continues to. This how our lives dont matter to the police they dont matter to the government and the regime we see and the purchase that we see is by product of centuries of wholly onto and bearing this injustice so were talking about Structural Racism here not just Police Brutality in this case and youve been talking and walking about the Historical Context out there so how difficult is that to eradicate a Structural Racism. So those are chivalry is ongoing its an International Problem and i would say that racism you cant have reassumed capsules and so we live in a capitalist society that very much is reliant upon the exploitation and the subjugation of people and hierarchy of life and one of the things that could help to eradicate it is 3 major things educate organize and and by having justice that Education Learning and learning the histories of colonialism and slavery and there are plenty of people whove been spreading out there if you drank a few races can be a lot of taylors black last natters black liberation and really any largess were no longer talking about greece Michelle Alexanders the usual crew all of these were are actively seeking about how reeses is Indebted Society as well as the everyday journalism of people like Nicole Hatcher rose at the New York Times who created 6090 projects to talk about the structural history and legacies of lynching of screw the nation coach all pro etc and with respect to organize i think this is the time now to organize the local communities whether people are in the United States or abroad to protest to donate and to Research Organizations that are flatland clear lead such as supply fissions collected to reclaim the block and its also time where organizations and groups such as unions have to take up and to resist prospectus its a point in which we have to challenge for that perpetuate braces as well as academic institutions that you can same so that means having a policy of justice which is. Change and policies that challenge not just criminal justice but the materials and activities that exist in our society because of racism so having serious conversation about the redistribution of wealth from the war to the global south and reparations. It does seem to be like they does seem like these protests are resonating around the world right now do you think that were seeing a a watershed moment for Race Relations globally. So i would say so i think that modern research and slavery were invented by your kids and here in germany there are not a view from that research especially given the border regime and beyond that i would say with the history. Of it being the site below youll listen and after conclusive again in terms of partition the continent theres still the kind of colonialism that still exists here i would say that the european context its important for us to note that in 2000 love it protests sparked and london after martin to get a black man shot and killed the frost of the major protests that are also ensued in 2002 teenagers from pills here in germany were being shot a little a seriously only sign of sick or dying Police Custody and theres been a white right White Supremacists right here jenny and had no candidate so many others and so did they resist an instruction discrimination are here present and they are highlighting the after church. Teaching mentioned it which not actually limits. So a lot of that is highlighted and its important to know that history its a fight for that justice all right historian activist and writer and joining us here and thank you very much. And here. Lets check in now on some other stories making news around the world cyclonic has made landfall on indias western coast authorities in the mega city of mumbai have close factories and offices and call for residents to stay indoors around 100000. 00 people have been evacuated from flood prone areas its the 1st powerful storm to hit the region in decades. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has vowed to offer millions of hong kong residents a pathway to u. K. Citizenship if china imposes a new security law which would clamp down on human rights the territory was promised a high degree of autonomy and rights under the terms of a 1997 handover treaty from britain to china in 1970 hong kong has been rocked by antigovernment protests since last june more than 8000 people have been arrested but hundreds of protesters have fled to evade prosecution the majority of them have found refuge in taiwan and with beijing pushing for a Controversial National security law for hong kong it is likely that more protesters will take the same path. Does this report from taiwan. Running after. They used to be an every day event for tom not his room but now is lets recall him and many other home living in exile in taiwan is just all the immunity is to new those type a cafe that have become remedies to ease his homesickness. It reminds me of the days when we used to buy food from cafes like this one during the protests and wed finish it joining the march its a shame that i cant help anymore the only thing i can do is watch the news on my cell phone. Last year tom took part in many confrontational protest including storming the whole legislature and beseeching University Campuses he regards himself as a problem i protested doesnt lead to taiwan in december when police began to investigate. I fled because i dont believe that the judiciary will be holding fair trials. For example one man who stopped peaceful protest as he was complimented by the judge for quote showing no qualities but we dont see similar comments for the 1st protester he was convicted of rioting just because he was throwing objects. I dont trust the judges because they appear to be biased his fear has been intensified by beijings point to end that a National Security law for hong kong which has triggered global concern over the city is remaining freedoms as many as 300 protesters like talk up the whole call for taiwan over the past year despite a lack of asylum laws taiwanese or fortys have supported to protest they have pledged more measures to help settle people exclaiming from hong kong. This is the 1st restaurant in taiwan offering top opportunities to hong kong protesters in mexico the hope it could be a Sustainable Way of them to let the living and whatever projects such as school take all i shop in the white house more protesters i did that because. Tom often plays basketball to keep busy today is joined by his friend and fellow protesters seaman seaman who also prefers not to give his real name left home call nearly a year ago he sets the chances of returning home getting slimmer day by day. Once the National Security law is imposed and isnt going to be any different from Mainland China im not just worried about my personal safety im also worried about my family in hong kong and im concerned that they might be intimidated i might even get a ducted by chinese agents but i dont plan to be in exxon forever i hope that i regain my strength one day and be able to take back my home then. Both of them will start studying in taiwan later this year just like Hong Kong Thomas seamen face an uncertain future but at least they are relatively safe for now. That report from phoebe kong and she is in hong kong she joins us for more in the story how welcome are hong kong has like tom in taiwan. Actually hong kong post has this and even already citizens just like tom they want order in taiwan and how it is in general they express i dont think the fee 200. 00 protesters and other home owners who have been on like months of protests and since last june and now we can see that are not only are the nice citizens it also one of my passion support from different Political Parties in taiwan are this fight this fight a fight thats high one is very politically polarized but they have a consensus on this issue that they are about to help taiwan hong kong protesters and 7 how is also they are now setting up a special task force to help this kind of. Process those who want to play in our hong kong taiwan and theyre going to find some humanitarian relief. Absence our political asylum laws so in general we see a baby see a local woman support and 2 to hong kong. But as china has moved to crack down on hong kong particularly with this new National Security legislation how worried is taiwan that beijing will start more control there as well. They have been throwing a society like china aggression to us taiwan especially when china has been pushing for you know the kaisha. Like to taiwan by force if necessary that according to the word and so based on their passivity between how i want to china and they have been going concerns that i want to play to make talking at least its just hong kong has been cracked down by china so on behalf of taiwan somehow though its also considering to has 2 other countries in the rest of the session this is what particularly the u. K. Based on the colonized hong kong would be for 0. 99 a hunk and was headed back to china so like. Johnson has just like given like an open statement saying that he would not walk away from home call it china is imposing the new National Security law that you will like expand the. Old passport which is the British National overseas on hong kong is that to let them to say that you pay for lunch and that will be a pathway for them to gain this position citizenship so this can be and ill go to hong kong is like to move in the future all right phoebe kong reporting for us so thank you so much. Lets take a look now at some of the other coronavirus developments at this time global confirmed cases risen to over 6380000 more than 380000 people have died authorities in china say they have tested early all of the citys 11000000 inhabitants for the virus some 300 people tested positive without showing symptoms and were placed in isolation was the epicenter of the Global Global coded pandemic new zealand as reported its 12th straight day of no new cases the government is considering lifting the majority of remaining restrictions next week and australias economy is and entered its 1st recession in almost 3 decades as a result of the pandemic youre watching news still to come italy reopens its borders to travelers from europe it says it is taking measures to protect tourists from infection but will visitors be too afraid to come. But 1st to africa is confronting the spread of the corona virus several countries like kenya are now experiencing spikes in new infections some of africas poorest communities are in desperate need of more supplies but imports from abroad have slowed and prices have skyrocketed now engineering students and doctors in nairobi are working to produce essential medical equipment to beat the virus. Every breath counts thats the message of the hey what teller plant in kenyas capital nairobi its director steve out of dons responsible for the production of oxygen which is essential in treating covert 19 patients. But sourcing oxygen was a problem in africa up until now oxygen is expensive up to a nice almost 10 times as expensive in africa as compared to their western counterparts were able to reduce their cost of oxygen oxygen distribution models. And because it would remove those and oxygen is reduced by at least 30 percent. The oxygen is used in ventilators which are quickly employed when patients are showing severe symptoms but there are not enough then to later sent africa so kenya has come up with a solution engineering students and Health Professionals in nairobi have to sign a ventilator that can be produced for tenths of the cost of an imported machine. So this means that we can have solutions. Of sorts a specific novel. That lockdown. Nothing is moving and if it was a body its it would see that thats if they can get. The problem of protective masks has also been solved locally they are now coming out of a 3 d. Printer owned by may who shahs nairobi based firm it is producing 500 a day all the brits the fact is this coming together like a 3 d. Printing that. You know all collaborated all sharing one design. And never producing the same thing so you know is. The most important is oxygen itself the 1st where teleplay and opened in 2014 and more have followed with the support of donations from the u. S. Great britain and unicef its a model of success. Well than a 150 facilities in kenya across over 20 counties in kenya are receiving oxygen from our 3 plants. And this public and private facilities alike 70 percent of the facilities are public crossing it is having brought on with the population. What has helped advance kenyas Health Care System with oxygen the w. H. O. In the meantime has classified this life giving element as an essential medicine. Germany has approved the lifting of its travel warnings for 29. 00 European Countries its set to take effect starting june 15th but foreign minister has said that germany would continue to monitor infection rates especially in countries like the u. K. He emphasized this step was not a return to business as usual. I know this decision will raise great hopes and expectations but there is something we need to bear in mind travel warnings are not travel bans and travel advisories are not invitations to travel again. Thats also something we want to make clear in our advisories which may also include the urgent advice not to travel to countries like the u. K. For instance while people arriving there still have to quarantine themselves for 14 days. We must also avoid creating a false sense of security the pandemic is still far from over and together we must avoid the revival of tourism leading to a 2nd wave in germany or anywhere else and. Italy is reopening its borders to travelers from europe today and allowing residents to travel between regions again the country is hoping to revive its Tourism Industry after months of lockdown but hotel owners fear guests will stay away despite measures designed to make them feel safe we report now from a resort south of rome. The battle for the best spot on the beach has begun. Out of the once to be in the front room of his home beach but everything looks quite different this year with the coronavirus. Cover things looking with the umbrellas and see if this interesting here by 3 meters 12 square meters each so i can only fit half as many out there. Conditions into it as she not reflect those across italy like on this dream beach south of rome the same social distancing rules apply just as they do in all 5000 kilometers of beaches throughout the country fears that tourists just wont show up this summer are running high. People are only allowed to swim in the ocean no chatting no gathering you have to get right back to your son shares. But many in the Hospitality Industry are worried will Foreign Tourists really come to italy. Large numbers come from germany or sweden but many europeans are fearful after italy was struck so fiercely by the pandemic. What kind of europe is this when neighboring countries say dont travel to italy its not safe maybe where the safest country in the world now because we were the 1st nation after china to be hit hard by the virus and we have now almost completely defeated. Interior cina there are signs that life is slowly returning to normal. The fisherman have only recently started to more in the harbor again most of the catch goes to Restaurant Owners like that out of the but as long as they were close scampi and giant crabs couldnt find the market. Some tourists are back in to china at least italian ones for them the desire for sun sand in sea is now spreading more powerful even the fear of the infection engine of it out of these restaurants cooking is finally on their way again but only under strict hygiene rules in the restaurant the safety distance is measured exactly to the centimeter all guests must also register with name and address so that the entire chain of infection could be traced if necessary. When this is all over the 1st thing well do is open a few bottles of champagne or politico and celebrate and hopefully have a laugh about this strange adventure weve been through together. Gino bit out of the says the spot everything hes sure the beauty of the Mediterranean Sea here into china will always drop to respect again. While the pandemic continues to impact germanys economy heavily a further 240000 people lost their jobs in may bringing the total number to 2800000 those numbers come as lawmakers are locked in talks of the biggest economic stimulus package in the countrys history the measures are expected to be finalized today. When it comes to children it seems finance minister all of the big heart he wants to grab families 300. 00 euros per child a total of 6000000000. 00 euros to improve their buying power. Alongside families the government wants to help companies particularly affected by the pandemic its planning to cut electricity costs on taxes there are billions for Infrastructure Development and some controversial incentives for car buyers. Right now barely anyone is buying a new car in germany and that on top of the fact that core industry is already going through a difficult transition to a lecture mobility both carmakers and unions hope the purchase premiums will give the sector a much needed boost government representatives say theyve allocated 5000000000 euros for the bonuses anyone buying the electric car will get a 1500 euro state subsidy. The french government meanwhile is being rather more generous for a monday new car buyers can expect up to 7000. 00 euros in incentives for a new he car as both germany and france say Green Recovery will be a key principle in addressing the economic damage done by the coronavirus pandemic and the 2 countries see the European Green deal assessing the framework for a sustainable stimulus package. Among the Business Leaders watching those talks closely is the c. E. O. Of of industrial powerhouse siemens earlier joe kayser told news that he wants the money to be focused on the future technologies we need to design it in a way that this is not huge that that that this is going to be a huge opportunity for the future because you know that is investment if you do it right ok if you do it at that because then you obviously go the way as some countries have called in the new it up in the elsewhere so we need to take those 80000000000 number is and make it an investment into the future.
