Exactly similar rules but the travel warning will be lifted on june 15th both of the e. U. Countries for any normally e. U. Member states of the schengen zone and also for the United Kingdom as well but again spain will only be accepting a limited number of tourists from june 21st except for a large number at least up to almost 11000 German Tourists who are going to be able to travel to the belair araik islands particularly to me all current huge Tourist Destination for many germans every year and so theyre going to take part in what effectively will be a whole a day a Pilot Project to see how people cope with certain social distancing measures and coping with hygiene restrictions that are in place while the pandemic is still going but still while that able to enjoy a holiday if you look at all these measures together if youre in germany when you and you want to travel to countries outside of the shannons of this visa free travel zone what does that mean for them. Well the travel warning for outside of the e. U.

U. To really calculate what the risk might be to encourage germans to travel outside the e. U. Brady reporting thank you very much. As those travel restrictions are east however there is been a 2nd corona Virus Outbreak in germany after lockdown measures were loosened the western city of getting in is now seeing new cases surged to Dangerous Levels and a muslim Roma Community is facing accusations and racial abuse over the outbreak we want to go to going 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 to celebrate the and obama dance 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 going on his own prayer march we followed the rules. Since the outbreak of division between the People Living in the apartment lot and the rest of the city is growing a Smear Campaign broke out the inhabitants speak of spitting attacks and insults. We are furious about what is happening 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 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 one doesnt for i nor 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 winning i think you would move to oh its unbelievable meeting at that restaurant i simply cant understand how they could do you that kindness and 21st in this month the us looked like and really we can talk about the fact this was irresponsible behavior but that has nothing to do with peoples religion or nationality its a tool via. 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 systems. The city has now tested as many people as possible in the last few days everyone agrees now that the infections are here further spreading has to be stopped as quickly as possible. To the us were george floyd at the black man who died after a white Police Officer pressed his knee into his neck for almost 9 minutes has been laid to rest at his funeral in Houston Texas friends and family members spoke about the man they knew and loved floyds death ignited global protests against racism and police brutality. Morning a man whose crime in the whats of his supporters was being born back more than 500 guests attended the funeral and he sed in texas that george floyd whose death under the knee of a white policeman spots global protests calling for Racial Justice. As we. Speak is that the ceremony made impassioned pleas for change clematis system because impro can last large pay a price for the African American system that failed. And hes lucky to be shane just no more hate Crimes Police so why is it make America Great again but when has america ever been great. In a fierce year civil rights activist reverend al sharpton the keys president on the trunk of caring more about trying to stop protests than ending police brutality. And we know the rights for black light is the same as the prices for white light we go keep coming back to these situations over and over again is that a law will work or it wont work. Trumps opponent in the president ial election Democrat Joe Biden also to live its a video message to the funeral. Now is the time for Racial Justice. Thats the events we must give to our children when they ask why. Because when there is justice for george florey. We will truly be are wearing Racial Justice in america in then she said she. Will have changed the world. Well solem the funeral was also a rousing tributes to the life of floyd. To give you correspondent oliver salat is in houston and sent us his impressions from the hometown tributes to george floyd it was a very sad and emotional day the procession the ceremony in the church lasted for 4 hours you got a little bit of an idea through the report that weve just seen his family members delivering a highly emotional speech is moved to tears of course but then there was also this year for aspect to the ceremony the family wanted to celebrate the life of george ford and that was done in the tradition of the afroamerican church and so he became an icon for this movement and thats what many people are so proud of that someone that was largely not unknown to the public became the face of a Worldwide Movement sparking protests world wide and people really do believe that his death was not in vain and there could have been chile bring change and improvement of course and send out a strong signal against racism in the United States was also around the world. Lets check in on some other stories from around the world a Massive Oil Spill in Russias Arctic region has polluted a lake that serves as a basin for water flowing into the arctic ocean emergency teams are working to contain more than 20000. 00 tons of diesel which traveled 20 kilometers from the spill site. Have you waynes and flooding of killed more than a dozen people and forced hundreds of thousands from their homes in southeastern china Chinese State media say the flood waters have caused nearly half a 1000000000 euros worth of damage the coast guard officials in the mediterranean have recovered the bodies of 20 people off the tunisian coast there are thought to be migrants from Subsaharan Africa and the search has been launched for around 30 more people who were on a boat that sank on its way to italy. Germanys foreign minister has warned israel that its plan to begin addicks in parts of the west bank would be in violation of International Law michael moss was speaking in israel where hes been holding talks with his israeli counterpart Gabi Ashkenazi the talks come just weeks before the new Israeli Government plans to enact legislation for the annexation of jewish settlements and the Jordan Valley in the occupied west bank several countries along with the u. And arab states say the plan would be a final blow to hopes of a 2 state solution. Kramers following the story for us in jerusalem hi tanya has the German Foreign minister had specified whether germany will actively try to prevent a planned attack sation of parts of the west bank. What was the 1st meeting of German Foreign minister with his new counterparts in isro. The empty hosts made it very clear that germany and the other Member States are very burridge and very concerned about israels plans to possibly annex parts of the west. Bank settlements and parts of the Jordan Valley he said this would contradict International Law by doing so he had to strike rather delicate balance between saying you know this is germanys historical commitment to israel but also to make his position very clear that such a move would contradict International Law we know that germanys taking over the seat of the e. U. Presidency on july 1st does that give germany more weight in this matter will have any impact on these discussions. I think it does and it was also mentioned here not only the presidency but also the presidency of the Security Council and i think whats important for germany but also other e. U. Member states is that if its the go ahead to these plans that would actually count to now the notion off a 2 state solution which has been advocated for by the e. U. And germany for several decades now it also has regional implications talking about endangering possibly the Peace Agreement with jordan and the German Foreign minister who will travel to jordan later this afternoon and evening and also on the International Level what does it mean for other conflicts in the world where land is being occupied it was also interesting the day before yesterday the palestinian Prime Minister mohammad study also mentioned that he thinks its very important to germany plays a more buy to vote and more active role because it will take over the presidency he was talking to journalists. And tanya do you think we could actually see a change in israels decision to start and axing parts of the west bank. Well i think its too early to say and they heard the foreign minister Gabi Ashkenazi saying that he was asked actually if there actually now any maps i need decision on that hes saying the u. S. And israeli mapping team are still working out the details as actually a big discussion is where right now whats going to be the scope and what kind of an extension it is what parts of the west wind would be annexed and the timing of the annexation but i think it was important for the German Foreign minister hike in moscow to come in at this point in time and to say you know to put out his concerns and that of other e. U. Member states to israel to defuse tanya kramer reporting for us thank you. Now it was swedens most famous unsolved mystery for 34 years but today prosecutors say they have finally concluded who killed former Prime Minister olof palme the case will never go to court however because the man investigators say is the murder is that starts minis through north. It was a murder that shocks the nation one that for decades went unsolved. Was shot dead after visiting the stockholm cinema are in 1986 thousands of people were question during the course of multiple investigations now 34 years later prosecutors say theyre finally certain of the killers identity theres one particular person one thought that we somehow cant get round as it were and that person that were talking about is this big instrument who in the press has been called the scandium man. Angstrom who killed himself in 2000 came forward as a witness at the time but police didnt consider him a suspect until 2 years ago theyre still unsure of his motive but he was known to have political grievances with palmer the Prime Minister was much loved by many sweets piece the outpouring of grief after his death but the left leaning palmer had many enemies as well he opposed the vietnam war and called south africas Apartheid Regime gruesome this that led to many conspiracy theories about foreign involvement in the murder this is one of the Biggest Police investigations in the world is often compared with the assassination of j. F. K. And even also with the lockerbie bombing. And if we look to sweden then of course it is by far swedens biggest criminal investigation ever diminished cream may now be over when it comes to late for all of palm his wife liz spent by his side during the shooting she died 2 years ago never knowing the true identity of her husbands killer. Lets get more on that story now with class loafed and hes a correspondent for Swedish National television in stockholm cause thank you for joining us prosecutors today named the man that they believe killed off on a who is a and what was his motive.

Agents and he worked at an office very close to where was shots and he was stiff curious old at the time and he seems to be rather all secure where do extreme views on politics he was. Said to have despised these socialists he was himself like moral right wing rather extreme right wing person breathy was also a low person opus the according to the prosecutor most likely on his own not with an organization beyond cuffed him was murdered 34 years ago why are we saying this announcement being made now. Well the 1st answer to your question is that delimit all the prosecuting and well from the order was 25 years and that was changed like yeah a little bit more than a decade ago just because of the ansal problem ordered that was on this it wont be on 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 have done this terrible crime in these 34 years kerry its been a lot of speculation theres 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 i would have problems more than problems today this is closure for me the party leader over right now liberals and the moderates sean said the same i guess the Prime Ministers on the same opinion having said that though theres hasnt been a trial h
