Im sumi so much god its great to have you with us as corona virus infection rates slow the german interior minister last they hope has announced that germany will lift the remaining checks at its land borders on june 15th things will then mostly be back to the way they were before the start of the entry restrictions which were introduced in mid march to curb the spread of the coronavirus in germany. Lets get the latest with our Political Correspondent kate brady hi kate tell us more about what is being relaxed. Well a massive move back towards what was the previous normal here in germany as of the 15th of june border checks on neighboring countries to germany will indeed be lifted so named people in neighboring countries will be able to travel into germany without having to quarantine or undergo any checks when they arrive in the country say they say will also apply to countries across the e. U. And also to people coming in from switzerland as well there is however one exception and that is spain and people flying in from spain to germany they wont be able to do that until the 21st of june which is when spain will also start except in some small numbers of tourists there as well kate we understand that germanys travel warning to most of europe will also be lifted starting june 15th but there are exceptions to that as well tell us more about that. Exactly the main exception is indeed spain but interestingly that is going to be a vacation Pilot Project if you will on the belair of highlands and so from the 15th of june already germans specifically will be able to travel to the bill erik islands just off the coast of spain many of them likely to travel to may york a huge Tourist Destination every year for germans here many people joking that it is indeed germanys 17th the federal state and so over the next couple of weeks from the 15th of june until the end of the month just under 11000 German Tourists are expected to travel to the erica island especially me orca to test out how people can still be abiding by certain restrictions and social distancing rules while still being able to enjoy a short vacation so were tracked talking right now about travel within the visa free schengen so what does it mean for germans or People Living here in germany who want to travel to countries outside of that so. Well for now at the travel warning the Global Travel warning exists elsewhere outside of the European Union so until the end of all guessed that travel ban over the summer the travel warning i should say a travel warning will remain in place and that is still set to be reviewed in the coming weeks but the german interior minister horsy a whole for reiterated that in the meantime there simply isnt enough information to confirm exactly how safe it is for germans to be traveling abroad and the foreign minister the foreign minister as well said that they dont want to end up with a situation here in germany where theyre going to have to bring back hundreds of thousands of German Tourists again should there be a 2nd wave elsewhere if they ease that travel ban our Political Correspondent kate brady thank you for that update. As travel restrictions are eased however theres been a 2nd corona Virus Outbreak in germany after a lockdown measures were loosened at the western city of getting it and is now saying new cases surged to Dangerous Levels and a muslim Roma Community is facing accusations and racial abuse of that outbreak we went to getting in to find out more. The Apartment Building rises into the sky right next to the heart of the city this building has seen a significant outbreak of new coronavirus cases and getting several large muslim roma families supposedly gathered here to celebrate the end of ahmed on without sticking to social distancing rules the families the night this. Yes we celebrated ramadan we all went to the mosque but we kept a distance everyone had a mosque on his own prayer much we followed the rules. Since the outbreak of division between the People Living in the apartment block and the rest of the city is growing a Smear Campaign broke out the inhabitants speak of spitting attacks and insults as. We are furious about watches happens to us this really is just purposely stirring up huge animosity towards us and to say it is. Now the head of the citys Action Committee apologizes for some of the words he used when communicating the cases but some people are simply irresponsible she says. Im sorry now that i used the words large families in connection with the outbreak because the words large families are often associated with people from an immigrant background and it was not my intention to discredit anyone but what we have to state is certain individuals have not followed the rules in the context of this outbreak and this is absolutely unacceptable when does im fine or go where the infection spread is still unclear this is also a suspected hot spot an illegal gathering with over 30 people is said to have taken place here many of them sharing the same shisha pipe now distancing measures that were just loose and could be tightened again after the latest outbreak schools have closed this week that makes people angry but there is also a sense of awareness freising this when he actually would move to oh its unbelievable meeting at that restaurant i simply cant understand how they could do you that in this im 21st in this month the last minute. We can talk about the fact this was irresponsible behavior but that has nothing to do with the peoples religion or nationality its a cool video site anyone who does such things in times of restrictions meeting people in Public Places that simply brainless no matter what religion or beliefs they practice its called the city has now tested as many people as possible in the last few days everyone agrees now that the infections are here for the spreading has to be stopped as quickly as possible. Prosecutors in sweden have named the man they believe killed the Prime Minister olof palme in 1906 but they said they are now closing the case since the suspects stick and from dying to 20 years ago pummel was shot dead in stockholm in 1906 while walking home from the movies with his wife his killing shocked the Nation Police were accused of botching the initial investigation leading to numerous conspiracy theories come over to expand swedens welfare state and was a vocal critic of the United States swedens current Prime Minister has described thomas unsolved murder as an open wound. Lets get more on that story now with class and hes a correspondent for Swedish National television in stockholm class thank you for joining us prosecutors today named the man that they believe killed off on a who is c. And what was his motive. Well he says you will see that your Insurance Agents they jumped and you worked at an office very close to it were public was shots and he was stripped juris old at the time and he seems to be rather old figure with extreme views on politics he was. Said to have despised these socialists he was himself like moral right wing or other extreme right person but he was also person opus the according to the prosecutor most likely on his own not with an organization beyond cuff home was murdered 34 years ago why are we seeing this announcement being made now. Well the 1st answered your question is that the limit all the prosecuting and well from the order was 25 years and that was changed like you know a little bit more than a decade ago just because of the ansal problem order that was on this and wont be in this week so and the 2nd reason is that the initial investigation was done very badly by the. Prosecutors and Police Officers so there were a lot of documents little testimonies a lot of materials but very few clear cut conclusion to who had done this terrible crime in these 34 years theres been a lot of speculation there been a lot of conspiracy theories about what happened do you think that this announcement will bring sweden some closure. To some yes i mean will have problems most important today its closure for me the party leader over writing the liberals and the moderates because the song said the same i guess the Prime Ministers own same opinion having said that though theres hasnt been a trial hasnt been in the courts of law just stating that that was the case because obviously thats not possible since the mans death since 20 years so theres still a lot of room for speculation conspiracy theorist and to say. That they will keeps taking and still is not the case that to them its a its its announcing its a closure thats a lot of people dont think since the you know kind of how have the swedish people of the public been reacting to this announcement today. Now i think its a its a very vigorous situation here there are girl lot of people who think that you know in the 1st place you have to remember that this took place 986 that means that theres a new generation that has grown out and theyre not so emotionally and intellectually connected to the snorter to damage some of the more abstract to people pain youre not each in im the 6 this it just its a its a its a really terrible thing thats happening in contemporary swedish history and we we are has done fully satisfied with this prosecutor who seems to be a very Competent Person and one that is very very good Police Investigation but there are no hard hard evidence is connecting this man so and he says himself the prosecutor today that the evidence is that he has materialized wouldnt probably hold in court or all along this is or as they can get in this investigation and so to me and to us i mean to a lot of people that these this is very convincing class that can correspondent for Swedish National television thank you for joining us.
