And good to have you with Us European Union countries have agreed a common strategy for restricting travel from coronavirus hotspots e. U. Ministers meeting in luxembourg to traffic lights system showing regions orange or green depending on the number of infections leaders hope to avoid a repeat of the confusion that disrupted travel across the e. U. At height of the initial outbreak this spring. But for more lets bring in. Get hes following the story for us in brussels talk us through these european traffic lights hows that supposed to work. The european traffic like to test for colors actually red for dangerous is owns orange for medium infection rates and green for countries and regions which ok and grade for those countries who dont give the data to the e. C. D. C. The European Center of Disease Control is the column that do publish this new map of europe not only of the countries but the regions and this is new broken down to 200. 00 regions and the new point is that not only the incidences so the new infection cases will be rated but also the number of tests and the positive tests that are returned so the have and new. Criteria to to apply and that might change the map added a bit for example in germany the number 50 incidences is no longer valid it can range between 25 to 150 incidences but you also have to apply the positive return rate of tests which should have around 4 percent and not higher and all these measures are designed only for Tourism Travel essential travel business is not afflicted by this in all these measures voluntarily so the Member States are not obliged to take part in this new traffic light system ok well the system does sally can provide some valuable orientation to travelers how soon could it be put in place. But it could be in place actually next week because the data over there and the e. C. C. The European Center for Disease Control did publish this on the website reopened old europe dot e. U. And then everybody can see good about the measure at that photo out of this new map this new indicators. Also up to the Member States so they can decide if they put in place and you look down fuse or the asian it to go into quarantine this is all up to the Member States and while europe waits on that traffic light scheme infection numbers continue to rise what are the main hotspots spent right. There holding to the news numbers and i have to look on this map. Its based in europe is mostly affected so spain france the United Kingdom which other current hotspots also belgium here in brussels but no check the Czech Republic is on the rise and also the netherlands again and you can see also a surge in bulgaria and romania according to this new traffic like system only finland and parts of eastern germany would be in the green zone all the rest is orange or red and the tendency is that the case is going up but in difference to the 1st wave mortality hospitalization and excess mortality a fairly low but the trend is upwards and now its the problem how to to flatten the curve again of europe orange or red bentley good in brussels thanks so much.

Well for more lets bring in journalist materials path from bangkok mathias what exactly are the protesters demanding what or these reforms we keep hearing about. Yet to give a shot on sight they are demanding democracy and freedom of speech as you know and has been ruled by to count Prime Minister of china china who came to power in a military coup in 2014 and since then thailand has been electing basic democratic freedoms according to human rights activists and yeah off the protests came to power he changed the countrys constitution in a way that guarantees military zookeeper i very high influence over the countrys politics to protest us now they are demanding to us those constitutional changes and they are also calling for Us Government to step down and to make new elections possible at the same time there is also another group of those activists they have going a step further and they are also calling for significant reforms of the countrys monarchy that used to be completely the topic in the last few years in thailand but now those protests they are demanding thats the money key and king with remove himself from the countrys politics and to make more democracy in the country.

A verdict is expected today in the trial of a congolese activist charged in france with trying to steal a Central African artifact from a museum in paris was due to live streamed his attempt to take a 19th century relic from the museum e. Q. Says france and other european nations of plundering the countries they colonized he says they should return the objects they stole. Many would call this their ft but this activists hes only getting back what was taken away from his people i came to reclaim goods that were stolen from africa during colonization of this video of us live streamed on facebook back in june or west. For other activists were trying to steal a funerary post from carroll lima see him in paris he failed but managed to draw attention to a topic that has recently triggered a heated debate should african art looted during colonialism be returned and if so how and when the congolese burn activists action is needed now on the demands are met you never ask a thief for permission to get back what is still from you and thats what we did we have the right to defend ourselves because we were up to the fact that our works are on display here means to theft continues to be our sport yes you. Also caused a stir when he tried to steal a piece of art from a dutch museum as well as in the french city of must say some say these acts have to be considered as performances not just theft. Its a different way of saying things that have already been said to many farmers for a long time since african countries gained independence on a diplomatic level in a dialogue between museums and International Corporation something no one did in a report commissioned by french president emmanuel and that the art historians. Looted art has to be given back and that up to 90 percent of african artworks are located outside of the continent the kemper lima c. M. Alone has more than 60000 objects taken from africa but according to this lawyer an ad lover not all of them are looted he recently published a book on the topic. Some. Objects have obviously been taken away european states have to give back what was taken in wars but there are also other aspects such as africans themselves all are to european. Bands and his fellow activists its not only about bringing heritage spec home as he calls it he also wants european societies to face the realities of their colonial past it is our own goal to reach the biggest possible audience on the one hand are just people in africa but also people in europe dont. See death not fear possible fines not even prison sentences in his eyes this is about a lot more than just his own destiny. And marry mr also filed that report joins us now from brussels do we know what kind of verdict mr d. A bunch of money expect from this court case in theory up to 10 years and prison and a firing off 150000 euros but the across state prosecutor already said that he doesnt want a prison sentence for him and he only put modest fines the disassociate even the french states doesnt see this as theft but mr also faces a 2nd theft charge for removing artifacts artifacts and i say or trying to who 1st we thought that was part so this could come costly for him while back french president Manuel Mccollum commissioned a report that looted art to be returned so whats going to happen to african art of dubious provenance in french missions. The terry france has a very special relationship with its former colony is there still very tied political and economic ties here and after his election and trying to 17 french president. As you said that he went to were going to go and look you know foster and he talked in front of students and said this relationship has to change we have to give back looted our for example this has to happen in the coming years the thing is that at the moment we have some 90000 artifacts that are regionally from africa in French National collections thats also what the reports said that was commissioned by french president we saw one of its authors in during part and critics say the suspects far too long and thats why the who is maybe the most vocal one said we have to act now ok theres a lot of art some say has been looted in european museums including here in germany what is the situation like elsewhere in europe. France has taken a leading role here because they National Assembly just voted that they want to give back at least some 30 artifacts to to to binny in but were seeing some movement also another countries for example the netherlands there Committee Said that looted art should be given back also in germany some artifacts have been given back already but there is also a lot of talk at the moment everyone like the critics say its just to slow the process and a new masoom that will be opened up in berlin very soon to hold farm has caused a big stir here because it actually will put on display. Artifacts that have been looted and that is seen very critically here in germany and in europe.
