Votes believe they can do whatever they want there are so many issues on so many porton issues and everybody is struggling in their own way that we dont necessarily want to pick up the other guy struggle eventually i have to go back into my town and face this neighbor and face the other neighbors and i will meet them at church at the Grocery Store at the restaurant at the sale barn and im responsible. And i think this is where the buck ends we individually have to take responsibility as producers and as consumers but i mean i think for the public very clearly you know you have a choice in the product that you at the store. When you hear of a problem in your own backyard if youre right were going to try to fix it i felt more like a hypocrite where you cant defend the rights of all dogs if youre going to ignore the problem down the street. Have 1st there was i wanted to educate people who had no idea like i did and so i knew that if somehow i was educated by one story that other people would be. The protests started black friday of 2011 and the reason we did that is because thats when people start buying christmas copies start placing orders for christmas copies and we wanted that to stop so when they 1st started we were there to close every single saturday that was a very very long and cold winter. We always protest peacefully we always hold our signs are we always have our backup i keep a folder with all the information i have handouts for people that are very sad shawl and we dont tell anyone against thats the biggest thing. A few friends and i started going around to the mills in iowa and experiencing it firsthand so our local store is diabetics that shop and we went in there and we saw the puppies and asked them and our 1st they were like from a breeder and they were very open about it and so we asked if we could contact them and so they gave us their card and we made an appointment and we went and we visited the mill and it was it was awful. And iowa in general we have the negative temperatures and the very very High Temperature is that the dogs are forced to live in the 21st out and so are protests or every single weekend no matter what the weather today we are very sick to be a positive temperatures. This morning with the wind chill it was negative 40 this is cold its on our coldest it is average winter high over there usually air protests are between 2 people in every latest depends on the weather and what we all have going on it is a priority to everybody and we have several people who travel from out of town to get here 2 years is a long time to think that weve been in front of here this is where we hang our young people hang out in front of 5 stars on saturday and. Well be out here for 2 hours the dogs are going to be out here at the top. Dogs in the shelter and the. Rest were different. And i think its going to be entering to become more aware of what what a puppy no means and what dogs in the store actually do or i like to say that its a Ripple Effect if i educate one person who knows how many other people they will town and so if we can all educate our Little Corner of the earth that someday we will not have these problems because once the public really knows whats going on they will not support any. Matter how upset i am i know the dogs have it at work so id never even consider giving up its never been an option and i will use my voice because we dont. Get intel there and. Until recent changes the only federal regulations governing commercial dog breeding dates back to the passing of the Animal Welfare act or a w. A in 1966 the a. W. A. Defined a commercial dog breeder as one who maintains 4 or more breeding female dogs and sells the offspring into wholesale channels any breeder or Retail Pet Store in gauged in the direct sale of dogs to the public was exempt from the a. W. A. Let me clarify that a little bit the Animal Welfare act only requires that we do annual inspections on Research Facilities so there is no requirement for the other entities that we regulate. But every facility thats either licensed or registered with us is assigned a minimum inspection frequency we have a risk based Inspection System so based on the risk of finding noncompliance risk of Animal Welfare concerns the facility may be assigned a frequency of once a year twice a year 3 times a year whatever that system a science to it the a. W. A. Does not require yearly vet check ups access to exercise socialization or protections against extreme heat or cold and allows both wire flooring and stackable cages. For the Animal Welfare act is passed and requires humane standards of care for dogs raised in commercial breeding establishment and they require as of the department of agriculture go out and inspect these facilities and make sure that theyre complying with these regulations i always refer to the regulations that we have today with the u. S. D. A. Is survival standards if you comply with the centers and here the dogs will probably but is it humane no right now and u. S. D. A. Regulations a dog requires 6 inches of living space bigger than the dog itself and youre talking about a dog is living in that space for its entire. Another part of agriculture really is there a promote american agriculture its not an impartial sort of entity that is neutral you overseeing the laws and for years u. S. D. A. Was allied with the very interests that it was supposed to regulate including these folks within the Agriculture Sector who you know started raising puppies and started operating puppy mills never in the state of ohio has any breeder been forced out of this. Long. Standing violations of the Animal Welfare act if they choose to no longer pay u. S. D. A. License its because they chose not to renew their license not because inspectors came out to actually revoke that license i never heard of a regulator coming to pennsylvania no one was getting shut down the feeling of the industry was very we dont have to worry about it so frankly their doors were pretty open the so often if a breeder some violation of the Animal Welfare act they get a slap on the hands and when they get a slap on the hands. Off and it is months following the violation and theyre given an opportunity to correct the violation and sometimes it may be days months before that inspector returns to ensure that the violations been corrected on its very rare that they will be given a fine that is truly impactful to their bottom line so they factor it in as a cost of doing business in the Animal Welfare act has been horrendous in the end for many many years and just 2008 of their own office of Inspector General issued a very doable report on how terrible their inspections were they documented inspectors walking by dogs and just leaving of there you know that right enough these people and putting them out of business to spend really really bad the Inspector General found several major problems with them foresman of the a. W. A. Including finding a massive loophole that allowed breeders to sell puppies over the internet without a license and delaying confiscation of suffering animals to give violators a final opportunity to take corrective action before confiscation can occur even in extreme cases where animals are dying its called the Animal Welfare or you know its not the the kennel really well for it its the animals and yes even some of the good inspectors were there in this building inspectors in made sure that the building was clean and they had good shelter from the extreme. Temperatures but the dogs of. The photo a lot of the focus of that was on inconsistency in some of the things our inspectors were citing and the length of time it took to get to enforcement so we put. Some an intensified training in place for our inspectors some a different oversight of our inspection process and work with our branch to find different ways to expedite the enforcement process since and weve also worked on some nontraditional or non Regulatory Solutions if we can help somebody come into compliance without having to resort to enforcement action and get those animals in a better welfare situation quicker thats what were going to do. Since being elected in 1907 senator dick durbin has introduced legislation in every session that would dramatically improve the lives of dogs in commercial kennels and would close the internet loophole. The way people sold dogs changed and has it changed it was no longer going to the individual breeder oh longer just going to the store now was online sales and they were exempt from the kind of regular inspection that would protect the puppies and their mothers so we had to make sure that our bill really filled the scale up and provided the protection for those online sales and the pups that were part of it even in the midst of the hyper partisanship of the u. S. Senate on the issue of puppy mills senator durbin found willing partners on the republican side of the aisle my 1st cosponsor was Rick Santorum one of the most conservative republicans from pennsylvania he was on this but with me and then after he left the senate i had senator vitter from louisiana another very conservative senator so it turns out that when it comes to humane treatment of animals and dogs in particular this is very bipartisan if a bill like pups went to the floor of the house of the senate it would be an overwhelming yea vote for the measure there would be 9095. 00 yes votes in the senate you know be 400 or so yes votes in the house out of 435 the problem is on an a wall for legislation the congress is that many of the bills they get tracked to the house and Senate Committees on agriculture and those committees are populated by the most rural lawmakers aligned with the biggest agribusiness interests in the United States. We go to work so you stay home. Changed american lives but pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. Based drugs the people who are chronic pain patients believe that their opioid prescription is working for them on the remedy be set to. Price that they pay closer dependency and addiction to opiates to long term use that really isnt scientifically justified and ill study actually suggest that. The long term effects might not just be the absence of benefit but actually that they might because we want to. Maximize our financial Survival Guide stacy lets learn a south fill out lets say im not psychic and here im greece banks have to fight wall street fraud thank you for helping. Destroy thats true. Slavery. Throughout the years members of the Senate Agriculture committee have received enormous Campaign Contributions from agriculture giant including months sento tyson smithfield and cargill the sides these direct contributions each of these corporations spent millions of dollars each year lobbying congress. Seemingly afraid of how a theoretical slippery slope protecting dogs in puppy mills could hurt their operations corporate agriculture sided with commercial breeders they get loads of Campaign Cash from these agribusiness groups because thats the funnel for the legislation that these agribusiness groups want who doesnt want to protect. And yet somehow entity find a way to twist it around and make you scared into voting against those commonsense positive Public Policy is they typically oppose any Animal Welfare legislation because they think theyre going to be next and they think that if you have a society that is incrementally building Animal Welfare standards its eventually going to lead society represented in their thought even with strong public support for commonsense changes to the Animal Welfare act none of these bills were allowed out of committee recognizing the original intentions of the a. W. A. And the advent of commercial breeders selling exclusively over the internet the u. S. D. A. Moved on their own to update the regulations so the administration seeing the enormous number of senators and u. S. Representatives backing the legislation and getting hundreds of thousands of comments from h. S. Us members and other Animal Welfare advocates they finally passed a rule to bring these internet sellers under the Regulatory Authority of us to before the change in regulations nearly 7500 facilities across the United States were subject to inspection. Besides commercial breeding facilities this includes Research Facilities zoos circuses marine parks transport vehicle television and Film Productions involving animals state fairs camel rides petting zoos elephant right and traveling and or roadside zoos. In 2013115 u. S. D. A. Inspectors conducted between 1011000 inspections on these various facilities approximately 3000 of those inspections were conducted on commercial dog breeding facilities since this change in policy will now also require commercial breeders selling on the internet to obtain a license the u. S. D. A. Estimates that there will be up to 4600. 00 additional new facilities under their inspection umbrella based on their own projections a total of between 1012000 facilities will now fall under the inspection provisions of the Animal Welfare act this change will increase the workload of their 115 inspectors buying nearly a 3rd. The u. S. D. A. Has no plans to add additional inspectors i think since the real big came into effect the number one way that weve gotten contacts are peoples names as people suffer porting we do we have looked at breeder registries to get i did get numbers we watch the internet a look at. Marketing promotional things from folks that bestseller the internet so this is a good move for dogs that its now part of the Animal Welfare act but again our questions going to be how are you going to enforce that because youre having a very difficult time in forcing a law that was already in place and now weve just added a new dimension to it and weve got a 115 people. Stationed across the country to do our inspections. Their workload is prioritized by risk based system so we get them to those places where theyre most needed and at this point in time we do feel like we have resources to be successful in doing this you know i worry about that were the time were coming back and spending appropriations in every direction and they say they have enough to get started but i want to keep an eye on it even documented us yea inspectors who had their old puppy mill themselves documented supervisors of inspectors who were out working as roofers during the day theyre supposed to be out check you know their inspectors and the enforcement was absolutely atrocious and has bad since the inception of the act and it was just recently in the last couple years that u. S. D. A. Has really turned around and started to enforce the laws but on the books and. Were seeing a closing of this loophole that a lot of internet sellers and we just have to continue now with our effort to educate the public that the best place to get holes is a shelter or rescue group or a responsible breeder who is really treating the other dog like a pet and not a breed. Machine. Usually have a number so he actually has a tattoo on his ear as hes optioned and thats my word its not that my business name once we got him he was shaking a lot because he didnt know what to do he was trapped in this tiny little wired cage. We dont need a crate with him he will just stir freaking out and she wont let us read even anywhere near. The meaning. Of email. Me ask me i am going on well now camarines ill be known as i guess thats me as i see a woman a little bit out there. And i say well so are these really really cute nice stuff these are all you know your body your skull and these 2 in here came from a hoarding situation in philadelphia we took in 39 a little blue show while dr makes this. Guy. Our our. Dog was probably about 9 months old even months old and the dog was so full of joy and just wanted to get out run around and the dog was down and sell bows smiling and and it was in a rabbit hutch standing on wire but it desperately wanted to get out and i can we take this dog no i just got the dog were breeding the dog im just starting to breed or so this was years ago and then every time we went back i would see this dog and the dog was getting older and older and he did wonder anymore because she was in a good breeder and i was looking at her and her eyes were dead and within i would say about a month beast she started to come around and i could see the dog that i remember her from before and its a shame that she had to go through all that you know her entire life just consisted of this misery. And we need people to start realizing that these poppy mills exist these puppies in pet stores come from puppy mills whether you believe it or not thats where your dog came from a puppy. Thing that hes really crossed was theyre not rescuing or saving a puppy by by buying that dog whether doing is theyre sensing the mother that dog to a lifetime of misery you know you know the general public doesnt stop by puppies i stop going to change its just its not going to stop ill be down as the day i die and i owe a lot and i hope i hope i dont have to spend my days to save dogs we americans are treating dogs like members of the family we all love them in their beds to sleep at night we spend money on them we give them life saving better a care a society that values dogs is not a design its going to tolerate this abuse of dogs on puppy mills. Until the public is willing to forgo the purchase of a puppy on the internet or in pet stores no regulation will end the suffering of thousands of breeding dogs trapped in commercial mills across the United States and humane societies rescues impounds millions of dogs are awaiting the chance to join a family if the general public decides to adopt and not shop the factory farming of puppies would and. The power really does lie in the people what we have as a movement is a 1000000 households who care about animals and who are willing to pick up the phone and being able to tap that power that is what should make any puppy miller terrified the other side has a much more difficult test theyve got to convince people that keeping dogs in confinement for their entire law is. Denying the vet care or exposing them to obtrude of eating cold is an acceptable way to treat go these are alike to officials and they work for us and were going to make sure they work for us we know were up against a lot of corruption and Consumer Fraud and animal cruelty but i think its every time you educate that one person that could be the next person who makes a difference at the state house or at the local level or even at the federal level that sickens me gone. Home i do think that its really important people if they see something going on especially i mean i mean just as they should bring it to peoples attention you know people to know whats going on out there and. They just do otherwise change is not possible. 20 years from now wed all like to look back and we know whats going to happen were going to what back and were going to say thank god we dont have anymore i cant believe the way we allow people to treat these dogs. God. God. God. My god. I have. My. My. Lose own little or are. All. Alone. On burkman.

U. K. Welcome to our viewers from around the world were live from Central London and we currently waiting for the governments daily Coronavirus Press briefing given today by the Health Secretary im called a headlines this hour. A truck plows into protesters as violent demonstrations rage across america over the killing of platinum george floyd by a white Police Officer solidarity protests take place across the u. K. Despite warnings about social distancing we hear from a barrister. Englands next stage of law down easing comes into force for the reopening of Outdoor Markets and car show rooms. And in good schools begin to reopen from today but Lancaster County Council Advice is schools to delay reopening and meet fears of a 2nd. Fingers locked down easing has entered its 2nd phase today with the reopening of Primary Schools and Car Dealerships and families allowed to meet in private gardens thats a statistic show that britains fear of coronavirus is decreasing week by week a lot to u. K. Shot to ever staffy choice going up with more on this hi there she just so whats the latest so of course today is the start of the 10th week of lockdown but its also the 1st day of the next phase of the lockdown situation so Primary School is an Outdoor Markets and even car showrooms are back in business as of today and its all part of Boris Johnsons plan to get britain moving again and try and get the economy back on track but not everybody is too happy about it especially considering of course some scientists are still saying that the transmission right there on. Number is still quite high is too soon to try and get back to a semblance of normality and in fact we could see still a 2nd or 2nd wave of the coronavirus now to be specific when it comes to Primary School its not all children headed back to the classroom but specifically at 016 and reception class some schools up and down the country are even refusing to open up their gates altogether were also hearing as many as 50 percent of parents are trying to keep their kids at home and rather not send them back to schools now looking further afield than in other sort of sectors across the United Kingdom that are reopening today our markets and of course we know that camden lock one of the most iconic ones in london has just begun to open up its markets once again is putting very strict social distance measures in place now earlier today where she soon at the chancer he was speaking saying that he hopes Public Confidence is getting back up and running because it is safe to reopen markets its absolutely safe and weve got a very clear plan that weve been sticking to throughout this whole process is dealing with crowbars and were now at the stage of that plan where we can get our lives a little bit more back to normal. We should say that theyre very very optimistic but of course he is the man at the epicenter of the Economic Impact when it comes to the corona virus but now i can confirm we can cross over to the governments democratic good afternoon and welcome to downing street for todays Coronavirus Briefing were going to do things slightly differently today and im going to go through the charts and im joined by Professor John newton from the test and Trace Program and will then answer questions from the public and from journalists and if theres one message that we have today its that it is incredibly important for anybody who has symptoms of coronavirus a cough or a fever or a change in your sense of taste or smell that you get a test because its by people coming forward to get the test which you can get on your u. K. Forward slash coronavirus or by dialing warm 19 its by getting those tests that were able to identify those whove got the virus ensuring that you get the best possible treatment and ensuring that we can then trace the virus. And that we can through that we can control the virus so that is the most Important Message and what everybody can do to help to control this virus if we turn now to the slides the 1st live shows Testing Capacity and new cases and yesterday there were 128004 137 tests in the u. K. Meaning that theres been a total of 4480000. 00 tests that have been carried out since the start of this crisis now of course the Testing Capacity stands at a higher level Testing Capacity stands at 206444. 00 and this shows that there is extra capacity for more tests and tests are available right now on the web site if you go to n. H. S. Dot u. K. Forward slash coronavirus or if you cant access the web if you dial 119 and i wanted to highlight that because its so important that people come forward for its hast and anyone who needs a test can get a test the next. Set the previous slide the next chart shows that there are 1570 cases confirmed as of yesterday and this is the lowest number since the 25th of march. In total 276000 people cases have been confirmed in total but this number of 1570 is it shows that weve seen continued downward progress in the number of new confirmed cases next life please thank you very much. Were getting this virus under control and this is why we can make the cautious small positive steps that weve been able to make today and if we look at the number of admissions with covert 19 to hospital at 479 thats down from a peak of 3121 on the 2nd of april and the number of the propriety of people on mechanical ventilators the number that corresponds to that 9 percent figure is that there are 606 people on mechanical ventilators again that is the lowest since late march next likely. The picture is repeated across the country where weve seen in almost every case the number of people in hospital with coded 19 is the lowest since late march and as of yesterday there were 7541 people in hospital with covert 19 if we go to our final slide. Sadly 39045 people have died weve coronavirus confirmed with a positive test thats 111 yesterday again that figure is the lowest figure since lockdown began on the 23rd of march. So we can see from these charts the pattern right across the board which is that on the substance were making significant progress well the Health Secretary there giving the daily Coronavirus Briefing announcing more Testing Capacity to you case should you ever start with me shouting at my hancock that reiterating that because as he says the virus is getting under control restrictions can be loosened absolutely right hancock theyre really just combining the fact that the government is really trying to get on top of the crisis of course saying that the virus is now under control so paying particular attention to and focus to the test and Trace Program that is yes in its infancy stage launched just last week but suggesting that actually that combined with easing the lockdown measures we could seem to see the virus becoming under control so just a reminder about this test and Trace Program so actually 25000 trackers are working up and down the country and they were if you were to get be given a telephone call telling you that you have been in contact with someone of youll have to self isolate now that is all based on public trust another is the key issue here when it comes to trying to get through the next phase of this lockdown period but it does come out of time when attitudes to the Coronavirus Crisis are somewhat changing according to the office for National Statistics were seeing some very different data that says 9 out of 10 adults left their homes between may 21st and the 24th last week 41 percent of people did feel scared and vulnerable leaving the house but that number has taken quite a plunge this week just down to 29. Sent of people now however 98 percent of people claim to be abiding by these social distancing rules though that certainly didnt really look like the case over the weekend as we saw images across london parks of groups congregating and not really abiding by that 2 meters distance that on top of that today weve seen even further lifting of the lock down that wall has been slightly relaxed somewhat as now people can meet in groups of up to 6 in outdoor spaces and even in private gardens the key issue and the key concern for the government though is to try and keep that our number well below one thats to stop a 2nd peak of this virus but just to remind us Boris Johnson has always maintained he will not hesitate to revive any of these locked lifting of the lock down measures if he needs to do that. Shut in thank you very much indeed thank you. Well lets move to the us where tens of thousands of protesters have again been venting their anger at the death of an unarmed black man at the hands of police its now a week since george floor died in minneapolis as a result of a white officer kneeling on his neck with cities ablaze ravaged and looted at least 40 hop impose curfews to try to contain the unrest some viewers may find the following scenes distressing. Well washington d. C. And initially peaceful march descended into another night of disorder with several fires breaking out near the white house while in new york a violence escalated as night fell. I was sprayed about like 15 minutes ago. There was a person. Y. Is john by a cop and like oh but you know cartman that a couple cops and you know parts i dont know the difference. I tend to feel like now why ive argued that it was legal and there were times and i just think. Was. Really minneapolis where floyd died a turn could drive at speeds through protesters on a road that had been closed to traffic officials dont think anyone was hit the driver was then apparently assaulted by protesters and spent a short time in hospital he says been charged with assault George Floyds entente spoken to r. T. About her loss and says the publics reaction has been overwhelming everybody go to jail. And what and you know why. We are you come from you know her you know that was one. No im you know buy. In youre going to be you know im going to you know im all one part of the on you know were getting a lot of in the fore. Ringback just trying to take that all in because we really like. My nephew with the world and justice is there for for joe wage floated. To be convicted of murder. And is murder 3 just planning to just trolling murder a murder just toying with the Family College for the 1st time i call it what it is. Thats murder. That could be anybody sister brother mother and what she said. Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma heart. If you want young you dont look like theyre. Trying to argue are. We wall solidarity process of taking place in cities across the u. K. Ending longdon managed to conduct in the capital of thousands gathered at Trafalgar Square before march into the us embassy despite pleas surface to disperse the crowd 5 arrests were made 3 for breaching coronavirus legislation thank you to the ministers that us and i think the government. Really i know i know we are human we are human beings thats what the government needs to realize the i. Q. Things we are not animals and the reason why we do the protests weve got lies lies because black lies havent since the beginning of time and the way that the system is designed serves dont protect every other community that is not black every other nation that is not black like people who have been on the receiving end of the please rich ality and use and the murder and the constant genocide every day that happens to our people and we need to raise awareness because a lot of white people dont somewhat what we have to experience is that people do experience that to use their oppression dont think so yeah were out here today to stump for that and fight for that distance but instead of that were fighting for that today and hopefully we can raise it with a raise more awareness. But in the process justified as a time when mass gathering still pose a health risk to the wider public family law barrister paul arone adrian said the issue was a worldwide concern. Why i think we all need to understand. Clearly george freud is more than the disease that is corona virus weve already had the disease that is racism its already gotten worldwide weve already lost millions to the disease that is racism and so one can understand why people are taking to the streets lets see if you can even if you do understand it the problem is what would you say if a spike in infections then stems from this gathering. I think thats a difficult one because when we look at what we have already seen weve already seen people gathering at the cheap new horse race weve already seen people using their instincts and way theyve been allowed to use their instincts to make trips that your ally may think that they shouldnt have made and i think thats the danger that there isnt a consensus clarity right from the talk about what is permitted and what isnt permitted and when you have a situation where people are marching for what is doubted liam very good cause if you are then going to say to those people well im going to let you use your instincts for one scenario but im not going to allow you to be smart enough to use your instincts in another scenario i think thats insulting looking at the case of george floyd to think its a case thats actually for the u. S. Justice system its something thats actually an American Issue absolutely not this is a world wide issue this is about one of the strongest pillars of every society and that is the legal system and if we see that the forces of the legal system are acting in a way that is betray those very principles then of course this is something that affects us well then why did. Actually as a whole. Coming up after the break. Greece abounds british holiday makers from visiting him as aviation leaders warn compulsory quarantining will kill the u. K.

Welcome back englands Primary Schools have reopened as britain further uses its coronavirus restrictions the government insists close is now safe but parents teachers and educational so it is still worried about the health risks r. T. Surrounding reports the United Kingdom in the wells and throwing them in particular. Has decided to open the doors of schools in the in the country however not everyone seems to be going along with that plan here in northwest london this girls school has decided not to open its doors as have many others it would also appear that local authorities as well disagree but also interestingly and most importantly sage the Scientific Advisory group for emergencies which have been acting as the main governments advisors throughout this crisis have also warned against opening schools too quickly for fear of a 2nd peak you know really concerning the level of being to be across the country as a whole is too high a moment to open the schools now the Prime Minister johnson has announced 5 tests that must be passed in order for different areas of the country to reopen once more but as far as some teachers are concerned the decision to reopen classrooms should be left on the Risk Assessment for that should be left down to the schools themselves every individual will have to. Assess the siege for students for teachers the staff etc. And even each assess their ease see if. You will be small bottles of maybe 67. 00 depending on the size of the classroom however for those schools who have followed the governments advice to reopen there are new rules and regulations in place including having no more than 15 children per classroom and encouraging more regular washing but also trying to get children to keep to the 2 metre social distancing rule which is difficult if anybody whos a parent or a teacher will understand that it is for those reasons that some parents and doubtful that these measures will even be effective in the 1st place my son of my niece nephew had been they worried they dont know whats going to school that i couldnt say my concern is that my son will be coming back with a virus as he will be the best scientists and my stanley. A little its a Little Family members and thats a moment number of peace actually going up. And we dont have to simply now for those teachers who perhaps are fearful of their own safety and dont want to return back to School Government dont seem to be implementing any type of punishment for them it seems to be a decision that will be left to teachers whether they themselves feel like its safe to go back to school again thats just a problem in england and wales scotland and Northern Ireland these issues of all been delegated to the local authorities there and theyve all decided not to open their school doors just yet since some cases it wont be until august at the earliest and so there are thats left some questioning why the apparent rush to reopen school gates here in england you finally did. Now we can punch weed which is on the border between scotland and england warm streets maybe children will be looking to reach. On the river side to st because they are in scotland they are not rich coming to school so what does make sense arsehole i think england are out of step with scotland wales and all my island when we want a Government Spokesperson says theyre not ruling out the idea of schools remaining open over the summer as Lancaster County council in north west england has advised its local schools to delay reopening the move comes to to fears the governments 5 tests for the easing of lockdown measures have not yet been met before june the 1st schools were open only to Vulnerable Children and those of key workers the council has said they have no confidence that reopening schools to more peoples now wont risk a 2nd peak. Grace is banning british holidaymakers from visiting when it reopens to tourists to the u. K. s relatively high level of corona virus infections. In the u. K. Has. A big difference in terms of the current medical status of the country with a gruesome so i dont think its likely. Although britain has been left off the list the greek government says it will be welcoming to respond 29. 00 countries in the 15th among countries who will be allowed in our germany japan and canada but the outbreak began however greece says the list will be expanded on july the 1st and global coronavirus data will continue to be monitored when it comes as aviation leaders warn the british governments quarantine measures will kill the travel industry costing thousands of jobs they say and forcing a mandatory quarantine period for incoming travelers will have the same impact as completely closing the borders the compulsory 14 day self isolation period for all International Visitors comes into force on june the 8th including for countries with low infection rates the plans have also faced opposition from around 50 conservative backbenchers. Over moranbah Coronavirus Travel restrictions on im joined by the chairman of the institute of travel and tourism dr Stephen Freud and stephen thank you for joining us well you know the u. K. Has had the worst death rate in europe so its understandable its facing travel bands years but were very very frustrated the governments position frankly kate is or is a complete model you see until 12 march the governments advice was quite clear anybody arriving from overseas was told twice a week for 2 weeks but then on the 13th of march that advice changed the government had never told us why that advice changed and what was the signs behind moving removing the quarantine requirement i mean just as most countries were closing their borders of introducing quarantines britain dropped at the requirements to stay at home and since then our borders of remained open throughout the lockdown throughout the peak weve been welcoming over 15000 people a day arriving from hotspots like rumer green new york or rather even china without any check whatsoever that thats 12 weeks too late frankly why suddenly now that were. Asked the peak and most countries are opening their or their borders away suddenly deciding its time to close attempting to as far as we can see lock down the country well the principle of it i understand is quarantine business is to prevent the spread of crowded virus i mean we do need some precautions for incoming choices or still have quite a high rate that way yes absolutely we do and you know were suggesting that perhaps people should be checked when they come back into the country but for the last 12 weeks as i say people have just been coming into this country with no checks whatsoever no temperature checks no screening no nothing but suddenly now that our peak has passed were were suddenly decided oh we better we better introduce some or so according to the requirements which as i said will will be devastating for the industry absolutely devastating there are options available i mean we could copy countries for instance like austria who have lifted their quarantine requirement so even italy so those people as i say that have tested negative for the corona virus with past 4 days all possibly tested everybody tested every returning british citizen rules of them and made dont force them into quarantine which frankly is only enforceable anyway so 14 days thats what the industry itself the Tourism Industry many are called to travel up every locked up say so once people are actually allowed surely it wont take long for the Tourism Industry to get back on its feet well i think thats true i we were were a very robust industry and in a recent survey that we did see in friends and family was the number one priority when things return to normal eating out was 2nd but holidays were 3rd but dont forget that 4000000 jobs depend on our sector 4000000 jobs thats 11 percent of the u.
