Exchange a massive operation over a 1000 Prisoners Released on both sides of yemens conflict. From europe to the u. S. The coronavirus pandemic has disrupted in e. U. Summit in brussels and theres jolted the democratic president ial campaign less than 3 weeks before elections the president of the European Commission are sort of on the lion abruptly left briggss trade talks after she came in contact with someone infected with covert 19 and Us DemocraticVice President ial candidate Campbell Harris suspended all in person events after 2 of her Campaign Members tested positive well speak to our White House Correspondent just a moment of 1st lets go over to Natasha Butler shes live for us in paris how much of a cloud the departure of love on the lens cast over the summit. Well it was certainly unexpected. Had arrived at this summit she was seen greeting our other leaders all seemed well and then she had to leave broccoli it later turns out she put out a tweet saying that she had left the summit because somebody in her entourage had tested positive for covert 19 now what the e. U. Commission had said was that she had actually tested negative but as a precaution she had decided to self isolate now in terms of disrupting the summit i mean thats very minimal and we actually just heard from the user gregson negotiator Michel Barnier give us a bit of an update on a sort of one delay in saying she is fine she has just decided to sell for as late as a said as a precaution but she will of course be following events via video calls Video Conference shell be in touch with all e. U. Leaders and the u. K. Prime minister so she is still working as far as we know and its worth noting as well theyre not all you ladies were actually present in person at this summit because of course the e. U. Is in the middle of a 2nd wave of the korean a virus pandemic live on the lens departure just another reminder of that really now the same time weve had the e. U. Leaders i think theyve just been speaking about briggss bring us up to speed with how that track has been going. Yes leaders discussing a possible post braggs it a trade agreement that was one of the main topics on their agenda the u. K. Prime minister Boris Johnson and set this summit as a deadline had wanted to see an agreement finalized by now however leaders made it clear that is not going to happen what they have said after their talks on bags that today is they have said that they need more time to negotiate more time for these talks because there are still differences between the e. U. And u. K. Positions particularly on things like fair competition and fisheries so what the e. U. Breaks a negotiator said was that the all the e. U. Leaders were united on wanting a deal but that they would not have a deal at any cost they would have to have a compromise on the issues that were important to the e. U. And that is why Michel Barnier the bugs negotiators been asked by the e. U. Leaders to intensify talks over the coming weeks the ball really is now in the u. K. Scored will Boris Johnson accept that these talks continue beyond the deadline that he had set all right thanks so much trash a bottle of ballots continue this with White House Correspondent kimberly weve seen also coronavirus disrupt political plans on the other side of the land to tell us a little bit about how the Biden Campaign is now having to deal with the fact that campbell her assumes like shes not going to be making too many in person appearances right now right. Yeah we should be clear senator harris has tested negative for covert 19 but thats not the case with 2 members of her Campaign Staff one the Communications Director the other a non staff flight crew member and the campaign assures people that in fact there seems to be a low risk they believe to the senator as well as her husband still they are canceling the travel until sunday the feeling is that the candidate never ever got in close proximity there or she was wearing a mask when she was nearby so theres not a need for that mandated c. D. C. 14 day or suggested quarantine that most people who think there are risk would do that sort of self isolation having said that she has been tested regularly shes tested negative twice on wednesday and again on thursday but the campaign is starting to Contact Tracing because theyre concerned theyre concerned especially because were really close to the president ial election less than 3 weeks away and so this is just another example of how weve seen a campaign completely sort of turned on its heels if you will when it comes to cope with 19 because of course theres concern about potential risk to joe biden who is 77 years old and that we saw the same thing when donald trump himself tested positive and had to self isolate in the white house while he recovered as well as in hospital we should point out so this is not good news for the democratic ticket at the same time they are head in the polls but we should also point out that tonight should have been the 2nd president ial debate but of course that was halted as a result of Donald Trumps positive diagnosis of covert 19 now both joe biden and donald trump will be having dueling town halls on competing American Television networks but its just a reminder of how the pandemic is really impacted every actual on of life in the United States and. Around the world this is a campaign that is unlike any weve ever seen in modern history and the fact is is that every time an even with the most part cautions we see now the president of the United States get covered 19 and we now see the democratic ticket howard to take a pause in their travel schedule in order to address concerns on their own Campaign Staffs all right thanks so much. First signs of what could be an end to weeks of physical turmoil in kyrgyzstan so theres just power of who is named Prime Minister this week has now assumed president ial powers just hours earlier both the president and speaker of parliament resigned president s room jim back of his face daily protests since this months disputed parliamentary election demonstrators accuse the government of rigging the vote John Stratford is in is you cool in kyrgyzstan he explains what the resignations mean for the protesters in country.

An operation is underway to return more than 1000 prisoners home across the front lines of yemen civil war planes carrying who think fighters whod been held by the saudi u. A. E. Live coalition have been riding in the capital sanaa. Is being seen as a trust Building Measure aimed at reviving peace talks. Has more. A long awaited moment in yemen prisoners held in captivity for years read in the largest Prisoner Exchange between the warring factions the deal was brokered by the u. N. In 2018 but never implemented but this time who theory rebels and the government representatives set aside their differences hoping the swap could lead to thousands of detainees being liberated in the future. It was a carefully arranged operation saudi sudanese and government detainees boarded a plane that took off from whove airport their destination airport in saudi arabia. And the same time who feel rebels were transferred from say human airport in southern yemen to sun any delay could have jeopardized the whole agreement. A separate Prisoner Exchange took place on wednesday brokered by oman the deal allowed more than 200 heard these stranded in amman to return home in exchange for the release of 2 u. S. Citizens detained by the houthi the rebels also sent back the remains of a 3rd american who died in captivity. Citizen was living working in yemen and. Was in prison for a 199. 00 days 2 years and 6 months in solitary confinement. And it was hell really how bad bad experience and i think. His majesty some fun for his assistance in getting us. The u. N. Held the Prisoner Exchange as a milestone its hope is to convince feuding parties to restart political talks to end the war in yemen. Un envoy Martin Griffiths faces a delicate task to hand encouraging the parties to do just that. But yemen is now more divided than ever the iran backed her thesis control most of the north the saudi backed government is losing ground and secessionists backed by the u. A. E. In the south whitening to declare a state of their own. For. Bonnie is the International Committee of the red cross is near and middle east regional director he says more releases should take place because of the die humanitarian situation. I think i have the end of the day. You need a political will to make such a result detainees possible because because there is one very important element in these freedoms it took place its taking place why the conflict is ongoing most of the time result detainees happen at the end of a country not during and i think we should stress this and be take it as a positive step i think theyve done something really hard i want to believe that all parties to this conflict realize that they reached the end of the road or at least the people of yemen beach the end of the rope you know 80 percent of the people here at the end you may turn system more than 20000000 of people have no access to. Who to health to water and sanitation i can give you a just an example to illustrate a bit how dramatic is the situation in in in the i. C. R. C. As open only one center for treatment of corona virus patients in the world. And its yemen its in aden because the situation is so traumatic the mortality rate is so high that we had to make an exception to our policy and open and also. Treat our various cases in yemen this demonstrates that yemeni people they reach the end of the old school these political will needs to be present and we want to believe that its present the fanatic at the james bays at the un with more reaction to the prisoner swap. I think this was carefully coordinated although ive been speaking to officials of the International Committee of the red cross over the last 2 years since that deal that took place in stockholm and theyve been working on this and its been extremely frustrating at times ambassadors are broadly welcoming whats happening june who is the Chinese Ambassador to the u. N. I spoke to him on his way into the Security Council and he said this was good news but they had to go much further than out to get a lot of good news a lot more good news and thats certainly been the position too of the u. N. Special envoy Martin Griffiths who is hoping that this will encourage other developments he described this is an airlift of hope the implementation of this agreement will build confidence and indeed momentum by demonstrating a simple truth that peaceful dialogue. Between the parties and deliver the road back to peace prisoners agreement does not encourage many thousands more yemenis detained during the course of this project and it is that for our obligation and the obligation of the parties to convene very soon just guss further releases the challenges ahead he said there are many more detainees in the next 24 hours were going to see i think 1081 Prisoners Released we think there are over 7000 prisoners that are still in custody in this conflict.

Tens of thousands of protesters fill the streets of bangkok defying a ban on large gatherings and is more political fallout from aljazeera as investigation into cyprus is cash the passport scandal.

Indepth analysis of the days global headlines who is it thats really out there on the street inside story on aljazeera. Roof. Oh. Wow. Welcome back youre watching ill just 0 time to recap our headlines now the president of the European Commission are sort of on the lion abruptly left in the e. U.

Corona virus cases are surging across europe and countries are imposing new restrictions to curb the outbreak in the u. K. London is moving to the 2nd highest covert 19 alert level countries reporting nearly 20000 new corona virus infections in a day a new 3 tier lockdown system has come into force in england. Now i know that these restrictions are Difficult People i hate the fact that we have to bring them in but it is essential that we do bring them in both to keep people safe and to prevent greater economic damage in the future and when the virus is moving fast we cannot stay still if we are collectively we know we can control the virus because we have done it before. May farka has more from london on the new restrictions a lot of the confusion is around the way in which the government has structured its response to dealing with the rising infections across the board in different parts of the u. K. There are 3 different tiers very high high and moderate form one minute past midnight on saturday london a city of 9000000 people goes for the moderate level to the high level which basically means no more mingling of households inside the rule of 6 the limitation of 6 people meeting outside is still in place so also is the temp pm curfew that governs how bars and restaurants operate we believe also the neighboring county of essex its subject to this change as well but of course you know there are still Big Questions about whether this goes far enough you can still go from a high risk area to a moderate risk area so if i wanted to travel from london to
