most populous cities tonight is chief minister has announced a complete lockdown for chennai and 3 neighboring districts after meeting with health experts about the rising number of cases chennai and these districts are going to go back into the type of lockdown that we saw in late march when only essential services were allowed so essential shops will be allowed to open from 6 o'clock in the

wants to be tested at 1st they had decided to double testing over the next few days and triple after that and then really open it up to everyone they are also going to convert $500.00 railway carriages into nearly $5000.00 isolation beds and then they're looking at using sports stadiums and hotels to use at treatment facilities that's after the supreme court called the situation and delhi where there were a lack of beds and some of the other worst hit cities deplorable it's a different story in europe where borders that was shot for 3 months a reopening dominic came reports from one of those borders between germany and denmark. for much of the past few months it's been almost impossible for most people to cross here in a region where cross border links are historically strong but now some restrictions have been relaxed and germans living in the border region can cross into denmark as well as some tourists planning a long stay if you are not a german citizen from sleeper hold house then you have to have a purpose for going into denmark it could be you have occasion 6 nights stay in denmark that will be legal purpose entering than mark but while the danish police have loosened the restrictions on people coming across the border into denmark on the other side their german colleagues have abandoned them which is exactly what many people in that part of germany have been hoping for for months people like down to christians who manages a number of shops just down the road from the border before corona came almost all of the customers here were scandinavian then suddenly almost all could no longer come here it would be problematic but shouldn't be easy it was a huge issue because the shutdown happened on march 13th when denmark announced no entry or exit and shortly afterwards germany followed suit so we've had 3 months of total loss and that's 3 months of total loss where you can't reduce your ongoing costs that's extreme. sentiments like that are shared across europe where many countries hope reopening borders will help restart their store economies as here between france and italy and in the french capital they go for a these are now allowing bars and restaurants to reopen fully including eating inside from monday at the e.u. level officials are coordinating programs to provide citizens with up to date information about border reopening and other travel issues during the pandemic the open e.u. offers practical information provided by each member state and the same on travel restrictions health and safety measures such as physical distancing wearing masks as well if other useful information on e.u. and national tourism activities during the course of the coronavirus closures germany turned back almost 200000 people who try to cross its front is with other european countries now it believes the time is right to reopen those borders dominic kane al-jazeera on the german danish border. in england shops and down toward tractions of c. in their 1st customers since march organizers queued for hours to get into stores on london's oxford street shoppers elsewhere in the u.k. including in wales and scotland are waiting to hear from their governments when they could open up to the u.s. president has confirmed that he's ordering a significant reduction in the number of american troops stationed in germany donald trump says the total will come down to around $25000.00 soldiers the u.s. currently has around $34.00 and a half 1000 tropic uses nato ally of being delinquent in paying for its defense are those contributions to the budget. germany as you know is very delinquent in their . payments to nato and they're paying one percent in this supposed to be a 2 percent and the 2 percent is very low it should be much more than that so they're delinquent of billions of dollars and this is 3 years delinquent so we're removing. a number down to what put in the number down to 25000 soldiers we'll see what happens mark some a company is a nonresident fellow at the atlantic council he's also served as an official of the u.s. department of defense he joins us now live from washington d.c. good to have you with us mark germany's ambassador to the u.s. points out that the u.s. troops are not there in germany to defend germany but to defend transatlantic security and u.s. interests surely the president must know that so we'll see up to here. you know ultimately decides a political decision this is a decision that the president made either by itself or with a very small circle or by his or his many of which did not include his most senior military advisors to reduce the u.s. presence because he feels that it will benefit in politically in the upcoming election there are very few foreign policy successes that the president can point to and china trade deal is collapsing so i think he believes that a withdrawal of u.s. forces can highlight that this president of the time the economic tightness here in the united states and bringing u.s. troops home will somehow bring u.s. dollars home and we will stop the spending countries like germany the problem is u.s. forces are in europe to defend u.s. interests and to deter russia as well as to position u.s. forces in a way that they can reprogram move on to other theater of operations like in the middle east in afghanistan and elsewhere so in many ways u.s. is shooting itself in the foot and i think most importantly how this decision was made without any consultation with the pentagon which was caught by surprise or any consultation with our european allies just further undercuts u.s. interests you know again 10000 permanent station forces can't be returned over overnight so the president's ability to fall through instances and it's highly in question i think can be written out of an eyeball because they have families with them the in in germany that they have fairly settled. what do we make of those comments when the president is calling germany delinquent if this is all about the optics playing to a domestic audience with him insulting a staunch ally like that. you know i think that's part of it if you have to look at the timing of this decision this comes directly after reportedly chancellor merkel among others were resistant to coming to the united states for a g. 7 summit i think the president was very angry with the chancellor personally over that and it course comes over a frustration that the president has had of germany's inability to meet the 2 percent defense threshold that all allies have committed to in the will summit several years ago so i would not say germany is delinquent they don't owe the united states money they don't know nato money they're paying their nato do but from the president's perception is that because germany is unable to meet the 2 percent threshold even though it has been rising in its commitment that you has the ability which he does to punish germany by remove the us forces again those forces 'd are not there to protect germany those forces are there to protect all the you know. countries as well as to protect u.s. 'd interests and frankly it's being done you know laterally and it's a gift to president putin which again i think reinforces 'd why this president has such a strange relationship with russia and he has now essentially given russia a gift by remove the u.s. forces without getting anything in return for i was i was going to ask you what this means for nato that the u.s. is european allies and and and for russia. you know there's a nato defense minister all this week which of course was not supposed to talk about this decision consiste says it came as a complete surprise not only did it come as a surprise to our allies the president did not consult with chancellor merkel he did not inform any of our yeah lies but also he didn't inform his own military leadership the pentagon from my understanding was surprised by this decision there was no planning that had gone into this so now the pentagon is scrambling to figure out where we're going to put these soldiers so if anything it just sort of cases a reinforcement of not only us isolation but frankly inept u.s. foreign policy 'd where we can't even prepare for a decision in understand how we're going to implement it as we essentially make this president makes decisions by the seat of his pants with no real strategic thought or no thinking of what the incorrect is going to be and frankly i don't think the president cares about u.s. forces returned i think you once the political slogan for his next few rallies where he can say yes returning u.s. forces even though in actuality they're not going to be seeing any u.s. forces flowing to the united states any time soon and frankly moving 10000 soldiers to the u.s. is going to be very difficult because where you going to put not only 'd 10000 people but their families schools and other infrastructure that's required goods to many thanks indeed some across cuba i think what the u.s. president says that he will sign an executive order on police reform on tuesday but he's been vague about what kind of measures it will include donald trump has held u.s. law enforcement as being made up of quote mostly great people trump says that his executive order will ensure the police reformist on fairly justly and safely his administration has been grappling with mass protests against police plot and some braces and the death of george floyd to police custody in minnesota. earlier police unions in the state of california said that sweeping reforms were needed to root out racist officers addressed the use of lethal force union members say they like

maybe some in wyoming we've been that she saw some surprisingly vicious weather in wyoming just recently from some of the k.v. from the pacific but it's just showers at the moment and it's hot dry and quiet from most further south no the rain is still there drifting up towards d.c. this wednesday it has dropped science and it's been very active weather wise in the caribbean recently with a few light showers in this moron's but the major island further west you've got sort of persistence of type here big thunderstorms moving slowly the bahamas have been a focus and they will be for a couple days of the biggest and storms same is true of cuba and look at the yucatan it's dark blue that's heavy rain persistent or down through guatemala and probably to costa rica. the. water scarcity has

killing of the. injuring of children in the war in yemen u.n. secretary general antonio television said that the coalition would be delisted following a sustained significant decrease in killing and maiming by airstrikes and the introduction of measures aimed at protecting protecting children our diplomatic as a james bay is has more now from the un it comes out every year and it's the list that no country wants to be all me un's list of the policies that are harming children in conflict zones either killing or maiming children the saudi led coalition has been on this list this year it's been taken off the list that's interesting because when you read the body of the report in the section of yemen it says that the worst offender are the who think he's the 2nd worst offender is the coalition of the 3rd worst the government of yemen and yet only the who thiis in the government of yemen are on the list the secretary general's special representative says that's because saudi has been reducing the number of children that it harms and it says that they're still going to be monitored going forward it continued united nations money and engagement. will ensure they sustain the implementation of the program. and the barrier to be creased in the number of. the u.n. failure of who we. were dressed in a really think well the thing about a nation in my name you say failure

most expensive u.n. mission ever $1000000000.00 a year and. the french the u.n. security council and the united states are in disagreement with the future of the mission the u.s. want to see much more

international criminal court for the 1st time ali kushayb has called the allegations against him true he surrendered last week it's alleged that he was leading thousands of faces i was involved in the rape of civilians he faces a maximum sentence of life imprisonment if convicted israel started the construction of a road connecting illegal settlements through occupied east jerusalem palestinian activists say the so-called american road is part of a wide ranging plan to cut the city's east in the hall off from the occupied west bank ari force reports. a long planned road through occupied east jerusalem is rapidly taking shape the american road named after a route that was abandoned part built by a u.s. contractor at the end of jordanian rule here in 1967 will instead become an israeli artery improving links between illegal settlements to the south east and north of the city its supporters call it a bypass that will benefit settlers and palestinians alike. a resident doesn't have to pass through traffic in the city as the russian out of this road the road will of course if the whole population living here who wants to pass from north to south without getting stuck in traffic. but in the palestinian neighborhood have. a very different interpretation that the road is part of israel's plan to close off occupied east jerusalem to the west bank and and any lingering hope of the city being a future palestinian capital this will eliminate the project and the possibility of creating a viable palestinian state initially to a separate the city of jerusalem from the northern and southern parts of the west bank the reuters news agency says the road will be 8 kilometers long and include a tunnel under palestinian neighborhood close to the old city and of course none of this is happening in isolation from the current politics the illegal settlements that this road will link are among those that the prime minister benjamin netanyahu is promising to start an exciting as early as next month on sunday and monday the u.s. ambassador to israel has been an annexation talks with netanyahu and his rival turned coalition partner benny gantz in an attempt to bring both on to the american policy path in the meantime work continues on the american road just part of what the palestinian leadership views as a decades long process of de facto annexation on the ground are a force that occupied east jerusalem. the u.s. supreme court has ruled that l g b t workers can't be fired or face other workplace discrimination due to their sexual orientation or gender identity the ruling expands civil rights to millions of gay and transgender workers who live in states the provide those such protections and it's a blow to the trumpet ministration which argued that gay workers are not covered by federal civil rights laws michaela has more on the ruling from washington. well more than half of the state in the u.s. had some form of discriminate tree law in place which is now being cast aside by this momentous supreme court decision it was a very major decision indeed given as well that the judge who wrote the majority opinion neal gore search seen widely as a conservative the chief justice john roberts sided with core search didn't write his own opinion subscribe completely to what gore search said but gorsuch applied the letter of the law affectively what he did he said it doesn't matter what the drafters of the legislation thought back in 1964 what mattered was actually the words now this is completely opposing the views that dance by the trumpet ministration which it urged the justice to turn my rights to transgender or homosexual persons in the workforce so this is a very significant decision but also a very clear indicator at this particular point that judges appointed by president trump don't necessarily toe the trump line so very significant that such appointed by president trump i wrote the majority opinion in this momentous case. the u.s. has accused venezuela of trying to rig parliamentary elections later this year the new national electoral council is dominated by loyalists to president nicolas maduro and venezuela's opposition is refusing to recognize it here's a latin america editor lucy. when israel has a new electoral council but not precisely the run that mainstream opposition leaders had been demanding 3 years 5 new members of the body that should oversee fair and transparent elections have taken their seats after having been selected on friday by the pro-government supreme court rather than the legislative branch the accelerated process which did not allow anyone to publicly submit their candidacy is immediately dismissed as a fraud by opposition leader one by law. we do not recognize any false electoral council named by our judicial arm of the dictatorship that has no responsibility for these matters only the national assembly has a nominee committee can present the names and receive the nominated record 3 of the 5 new council members are clear government allies and the remaining 2 who claim to be either neutral or government opponents are seen as trojan horses by the mainstream opposition i think one of them is right by the minute he told al-jazeera that he hopes that while all who is viewed as venezuela's interim president by more than 50 countries will change his mind it will get him what would a responsible opposition leadership do it would wait and see what happens not count the chickens before they hatch because what is at stake here is the destiny of venezuela which we have the right to build if not elections then what alternative do they propose that. was the opposition and much of the international community have been insisting on a neutral body that will guarantee that all political parties and candidates take part in international supervised elections later this year. it's viewed as the best way out of the israelis deep political and social crisis instead a council viewed as overwhelmingly favorable to the government and picked without consensus is seen as a mechanism to perpetuate president nicole. grip on power that's at the moment that you council is here to give new dynamism and organize the election of a new national assembly it must be elected this year no matter what. the u.s. state department calls this quote the latest step to rig the next venezuelan election this comes just days after alex sab was arrested by interpol in cape varig on a refueling stop while flying from caracas to tehran. he has long been wanted by the u.s. justice department for money laundering accused of being a front man for president nicolas maduro allegedly in a scheme that siphoned off millions of dollars from a food box program the maduro government is demanding sabs release calling it an illegal act of u.s. aggression. as for where venezuela's political confrontation will go from here is impossible to guess you see in human al-jazeera finally take
