percent represents a 12 percent of the gross domestic product and has interact impactors of 35 percent in the spanish economy so all these owners of hotels and restaurants and bars were looking for a signal from the prime minister a bit of sun tear that today announced that we will be reopening to foreign tourists i'm in from the merc month of july what he does send he sent 2 messages that these this return of these the opening of the borders for for international tourists and for domestic tourism as well because he's trying to implement that spaniards easier. take their holidays in spain in order to reactivate the economy he's gone teaching this will be safety for the people that are coming in and for the spaniards that are traveling to the spanish nation. britons government is the fendi the prime minister's chief advisor for driving 400 kilometers during lockdown normally cummings was supposed to be self isolating after showing symptoms of the virus but reports. well early on saturday
10:25 pm
a spokesperson for 10 downing street put out a statement saying that dominic cummings had acted in the way that he did basically to protect the interests of his 4 year old child essentially making sure that there was child care available while he suspected he might become ill and while his wife was actually already you would call bit annoying t.v. there are plenty of voices including from the opposition labor party saying that that was a clear breach of the guidelines and what they should have done is self isolated at home and perhaps sought outside help without travelling at the daily briefing grant shapps britain's transport secretary also defended dominic cummings and he made it clear that prime minister boris johnson was fully behind his advisor as well i don't know is actually the answer to when the pm knew but i knew that i know the pm knew that he was unwell and that he was locked down because the pm was also well
10:26 pm
during the same period in reference i can tell you the pm provides mr cummings with his full support and mr cummings has provided a full statement this is a big problem for the u.k. government because right now they're trying to get the public to keep respecting those social distancing guidelines and all the other restrictions but to get the economy opening up again and crucially to get children back into schools as early as the 1st week of june at the same time there's talk of flights and international travel being possible in the near future this all will depend of course on the r. rate the reap the infection rate. being below one and if it starts to creep up because people are not following those guidelines there could well be a 2nd peak of coronavirus the last thing the government wants so it's very
10:27 pm
important for them to get people to respect what they're saying and if it seems as if they're saying it's ok for one of ours to break the guidelines will people say oh well we're not going to follow your orders it's a big big question mark. there's been international condemnation over china's plans for a new security law in hong kong the last governor of the british colony chris patten says it's a betrayal by a new chinese dictatorship the proposed legislation would ban activity that china's communist party considers subversive aytaroun brown has more now from hong kong. on the day china announced it was bypassing hong kong's parliament to push through a new security law the city's leader was putting on a brave face surrounded by her cabinet kerry said hong kong people and foreign investors had nothing to fear and she offered support for the legislation there
10:28 pm
will be protests of all sorts in hong kong as we have seen but the important thing is for the people hong kong to realize that without protection of national security many of the things that we enjoy many of the things that we treasure. will be lost. when china regained sovereignty over hong kong from britain in 1997 it promised the city a high degree of autonomy for 50 years. but china's leadership now says those freedoms are being undermined by violent protests subversion calls for independence and foreign interference. and under the basic law hong kong's mini constitution they say they have the right to impose security legislation we only on friday the vice chairman of china's national people's congress. confirm that china's security agents will operate in hong kong when needed words that have unsettled many people
10:29 pm
here they all feel that the one country 2 systems is dead and and now the reaction is general penny people would like you and me grey and making preparations to leave hong kong some people we spoke to said the law was long overdue others resigned to it i think. it would have happened anyway like if the fear i think i've gotten past this stage about being afraid all got it all makes sense a country needs laws to protect itself people only abuse freedom if there is too much. business groups here fear the proposed law will threaten hong kong status as asia's leading financial center and put further pressure on its independent judicial system it is almost 2 years since protests began over another proposed law that would have allowed wanted people to be sent to the mainland that bill was eventually dropped but the prospect of more on rest this time is unlikely to deter
