10:05 am
law that would allow a group to be designated in this way and the american civil liberties union was quick to point out that any attempt to do so would raise concerns about the constitutional right to free speech adding that a terrorist is an inherently political label that is easily abused and misused the attorney general subsequently clarified that the joint terrorism task force would investigate the violence focusing on whether any group including active was responsible. and washington's mayor called on the president to temper the tone of his tweets i think that the president has a role to play nationally in calming. the the i rest that we see in cities across america and i think at the least he has to not incite violence and that's what we would expect presidential candidate joe

the reason so many are actually on the streets where are they trying to do it for them. is definitely one of the most rural or the most inhuman things are seen on this planet for him that we're on our man on our black man a minority man of color if i am to be attacked but a police friend of these cheering on the police for 9 minutes i am not is not the whole media is next it is definitely not something like human. here's some thoughts from gerald malloy who is a democratic party state senator in south carolina and says he hopes the protests lead to some real change well i think that what's happening i think that the people that approaches test testing is generational issues that have been happening in that they believe as relates to people of color and they think that there's disparities in the treatment of many individuals and so it has sparked outrage the folks that are really trying to protest really the initially there's
10:08 am
a lot of innocent protest folks are doing it because they want to make certain that they can pay attention to the injustices that are being present within there is a very very small percentage of those individuals that are that are taking it and making it get out of hand and so this is a another day here in america that we really not necessarily proud of what we have a person of color that was my words murdered. here in minneapolis and in what is happening now is that people of us speaking out for injustice. well in some us cities police acted a little differently by joining the protesters police in california for example knelt steering rallies other pows made famous by football and calling catherine akin response to police brutality against black people in other states police held banas with statements against violence and racism
10:09 am

10:10 am
and we'll just have a look at portland oregon this is at around 12 in the morning. on the west coast and it's just a familiar picture isn't it which we've seen in so many other parts of the united states police on the street there is a curfew in place the mayor ted wheeler declared a state of emergency 24 hours earlier and said they would be this overnight curfew it gets ignored a lot. these pictures looking relatively calm but as the helicopter moves around you see police on the. vehicles there and there we go protesters out in the very early hours of the morning in portland oregon looks like
10:11 am
a sort of flash bang. being used there maybe to disperse them we'll keep an eye on these pictures the fact is they keep going right throughout the night even though it is it's a very early hours on the u.s. west coast this does keep going on right across the united states. we will look at some coronavirus related news now some people in india are being allowed to resume work and other activities after being on the lockdown for more than 2 months public transport will gradually be restored this week beginning with 200 train services on sunday some high risk zones will stay on the lockdown though until the end of june in the reported its highest single day jump on monday with more than 8000 cases of covert 19 more than 5000 have died. we will check in with elizabeth in new delhi has to tell us a little more detail how this will work because as we always say with india it's such a huge endeavor with such a large population to to put these controls in place and then to bring them back.
10:12 am
and that is what continues to be very much a mixed picture here but off to 4 phases of lockdown the government is supporting what's happening from monday on lock phase one and apart from the lockdown continuing in containment zones till the end of the month we are seeing more strict restrictions being eased in the rest of the country states are allowed to allow to open up their borders and to state travel is allowed but the government has said that they're also allowed to keep their borders closed if they're worried about the number of cases and we're certainly seeing some states do that delhi's chief minister has just announced announce that they are closing their borders for another 7 day states also given more flexibility to open up but with certain restrictions like hotels and restaurants allowed to open for another week the state of west bengal is the 1st to open religious places of the 1st and the country since
10:13 am
the lockdown began but no more than 10 people are allowed inside to maintain social distancing we are seeing more people out markets a getting busy and as you mentioned we're seeing public transport in the form. the buses metro is still not allowed but all of this is happening as the number of cases in india continues to rise there are nearly 2 100000 hospice and have recovered but over 5000 deaths the thinking from the government and not just the government but also health experts even those who have been incredibly critical of the government and how it imposed the lockdown is that india cannot remain under lockdown and definitely 114000000 people have lost their jobs mine 900000000 of them a daily wage earners who have to work every single day to survive and health experts say that the lock down has to be replaced with cluster specific restrictions based on health assessments and that the purpose of the lockdown was to prepare the
10:14 am
health care system and that the government must continue to make the maximum effort to do so to handle that and every tool rise in the number of cases as restrictions and again the government says that it's doing that but some states are doing better than others we just heard from delhi's chief minister who said that we know that the number of cases are rising we expected them to and we are prepared to handle it . the updates from india there with elizabeth per annum thank you so that there will be more covert 19 updates in a moment from around the world and then or. may not be illegal how sudan is losing billions of dollars or gold but to cross its borders.
10:15 am
and of the still plenty of cloud and rain showers across much of eastern europe here this time which is a lot lower than we like to see this time of year but that's across much the west is fun and driving alicia's the clouds the piling it into areas of portugal and spain boss away from that into germany you finally have seen some serious guys in the. thought about enjoying the nice sunshine is getting warmer temperatures in the mid twenty's as they go through the coming week and then up a disco claimants' a beautiful clear blue skies had not quite as well known 5 times as on the decline throughout the week into the low teens but to me while it's on it's london pretty good on monday same across into paris but that rain which is pushing across into areas of portugal spain that will work its way into all southern areas of france that should try much of the med so all the unsettled picture throughout the balkans and across the degrees western areas of turkey. the stubborn rain showers into more eastern areas of ukraine and still also impacting much of batteries how system really is very stubborn it doesn't really move much either on tuesday still some very heavy amounts of rain but there's
10:16 am
a good case guys generally out towards the west and that's when the time which is all there i certainly into paris that is up 30 celsius on tuesday a little bit lower on wednesday not exactly cool at 27 and well above the june average however a very different story in moscow temperatures here well below what we should be saying. frank assessments tourism but the income stream is dead in the water what's been the result seen perching quite significantly informed opinions there has been a very aggressive political rhetoric that has become very normal in israeli society in-depth analysis of the day's global headlines it's time for diplomacy gives us a country that is not only disintegrating but it's great to meet face to baby or we call continues inside story on al-jazeera.
10:17 am
top stories this hour on al-jazeera in atlanta 2 police officers have been fired for using excessive force on protesters police surrounded the car slashed the tires and used to taser on 2 people before dragging them to the ground and handcuffed. people in cities across the u.s. have defied their curfews to continue protests against police brutality for 6 months president donald trump has blamed the far left group known as anti for the outbreak of violence and some protests and india begins lifting restrictions after more than 2 months of the lockdown that high risk zones will remain shut to the end of june india's reported its highest single day jump with more than $8000.00 cases on something. let's look at south africa now which has postponed reopening schools
10:18 am
by a week because of concerns of a possible covert 19 infections students in their final year of primary and secondary education was supposed to start studies again on monday but teachers unions opposed the move saying there's not enough protective equipment some schools that reopened in the western cape province have been criticized let's check in with miller in johannesburg on this one a bit of confusion on what's happening it seems to be different stories in different parts of the country. a lot of confusion in fact across south africa the education minister was due to address of africans on sunday night to explain what would happen in the coming week that schools would open on monday that schools were prepared to have children returned considering the concerns around that 19 and at the 11th hour she cancelled she in fact were spode until monday morning so until now south african's haven't heard from the minister and
10:19 am
parents don't know whether or not schools were rather didn't know whether or not schools would open on monday morning children were returned to boarding schools for its for example over the weekend only to find out that in fact it would only schools would only reopen a week from now there's a lot of blame being placed at. the at the foot of the of the education minister because of this confusion they've also said that she's inept and this shouldn't have happened this way and it largely is because unions are saying that schools are not ready there are schools in south africa who don't have adequate sanitation at the best of times and this is only worsened now during the pandemic there are schools that don't have running water schools that are not at all prepared for the reopening they don't have personal protection equipment and this is why unions are complaining and at the same time some schools in the western cape province have gone ahead and opened a lot of frustration across the country because of the poor communication the
10:20 am
the decisions that were made in a mall the weeks ago that have now been reversed and a parent saying that they can't trust the department of education to take proper care of their children during this pandemic now some of the other restrictions that have been eased during this time include the sale of alcohol that will now resume of certain days during the week and that's been a major issue in south africa a very contentious one that along with the battling of cigarette sales that is because. continues to be bad south africans still can't buy cigarettes and this is a very hard to bait in south africa given that people don't understand the reasoning behind it and say that even with those restrictions in place people have managed to obtain cigarettes and alcohol. despite those restrictions for me to meddle with the update from johannesburg thank you for some children in england are
10:21 am
returning to school the students have been kept away from classes for 10 weeks but there is intense debate about whether it is too soon to reopen there as well as from paul brennan the support of the teaching staff and the parents have been tremendous. at this bilingual independent school in north london the challenge of getting ready to reopen this week has been enormous carpets and rugs have had to be removed the book trays and toys have been covered with plastic sheets even the whiteboard pens are separated into sterile non-sterile containers we don't want them to access many or is office because it will mean that at night we will have to this in fact everything everything but after 10 weeks away here at least the head is keen to get going again honestly the past months we've seen some this stress among the children during our session our lying on the sessions they're really missing a child they're really missing some kind of normal school life and it's now time to
10:22 am
to come back and to resume our daily life as much as we can the children returning to school come back to a very different environment to the classes that they left desks are socially distanced there are face masks and there are much smaller class sizes than before and amidst all of this an ongoing debate as to whether children should be going back to school at all given the fact the test and trace is not fully operational yet in several other european countries schools have reopened and the u.k. government is keen to follow because the education of our children is crucial for their welfare their health for their long term future and for social justice but schools in scotland and northern ireland won't reopen until august and around 20 local authorities across england have also told their primary schools to stay closed the main teaching union which represents 450000 members once reopening
10:23 am
perspire and for at least another 2 weeks and 3 members of the government's own scientific advisory group have also expressed concern that it's just too soon however what some see as a gamble others see as a leap of faith we have to trust them they've been brilliant before the log down when the pandemic was already there so it was incredibly all right paul brennan al-jazeera north london. protests have been held in hong kong calling for independence from china to beijing announced its new security law when many say will end the territories autonomy activists demonstrated in shopping malls and elsewhere before dispersing into crowds. brazil's a reported a record 33000 new coronavirus cases in a single day more than half a 1000000 people have been infected in the virus is yet to pick in the 30000 people

10:25 am
the instability and its prices and lack of control of the border difference between process given by the central bank and what traders offer to buy from miners helps in the smuggling of gold. so dam is one of africa's top gold producing countries exporting over 90 tons of the precious metal in 2018 it accounts for nearly 30 percent of the country's exports and up until the beginning of this year the only entity allowed to legally buy gold from miners was the country's central bank but a soaring inflation in a currency that has continued to lose value against the dollar turned many miners away from the official route and to a more lucrative path now private companies are allowed to deal in the sector with the condition that they sell 30 percent of their gold to the central bank as well as deposit the hard currency they aren't to help sudan's weakening economy revenues from gold mining have provided a much needed source of hard currency to sudan's economy for years but the incomes estimated to be only about his have of what it should be because of smuggling with

the inflation rate at about 100 percent so dance government is looking to reform the gold sector to boost its economy since taking over in september last year so that's transitional government has pledged a series of economic reforms to combat inflation and improve living standards more than half of the 40000000 population live below the poverty line the government has increased the wages of civil workers and raised spending on public sectors it says it hopes to partially cover the costs of those reforms through the growth actor but with millions being lost and uli due to smuggling some analysts say the real reform that the government needs to do should come from within the problem really smuggling which is what. everybody else but it has by certain circles within the government itself. actually to protect. the smuggling routes makes it very difficult when you're going to verify that we're struggling because it's going by those who are supposed to
10:27 am
actually stop smuggling whatever steps the government takes for my ms in the only thing that matters is that they get paid fairly for their efforts to dig up the gold regardless of who buys it people morgan are just their own hearts. the coronavirus pandemic is drastically changed how many people live of course it's also forcing a rethink about how cities and towns are even built when hey in oakland is even takes a look now at how health priorities are changing urban design. as more people emerge from the coronavirus hibernation they're finding their communities a changing in many cities and towns around the world footpads are being widened to allow for more space between pedestrians or as it's known now social distancing more cycle lanes are being created so there's less reliance on public transport in new zealand so called technical urbanism the process of making quick interim low cost changes that over time become permanent was being trial before the pandemic
10:28 am
now the government is investing in modifying city streets momentum has been built and certainly a lot of people we work with the local council around the country already thinking about operating on work and cycling across a crowd of ours kind of artists in. some of the kind of effect of tolls labor has to offer next price you know it's happening all over the world including in the spanish capital madrid with some roads being closed to vehicles to allow for cycling and pedestrians in your modes of on the one of him i'm still colliding with others but i think it's a great idea and they should keep it up. and corona virus may change a lot more about the way we live and work if we are to adapt and learn from coronavirus in terms of the way we design our cities and lifestyles then it won't necessarily be a new thing over the centuries pandemics and outbreaks have led to significant changes in infrastructure design and policy that ultimately created healthier safer
10:29 am
environments now architects in urban planners are looking at what this pandemics legacy might be like cities with more open shared spaces making facilities like sports venues able to be quickly. changed for another use designing healthy a buildings that rely less on a conditioning and more on natural ventilation and lights and posing the question to many of us really need to physically go to work at all therefore making urban centers less congested. and so. the concern is however that as the world recovers from the pandemic the appetite for significant change in urban design and architecture will fade governments are investing now but may not be so keen as the economic fallout from cove in $1000.00 worsens and money is diverted
10:30 am
elsewhere but those pushing to change say the cost of not preparing for the next outbreak would be too high wayne hay al-jazeera auckland's fun of it it's got some pictures for you from a memorial to honor george floyd the black man who died in police custody in minneapolis residents of the city placed flowers and photos of them they held a peaceful protest there before it died just after being restrained by a white police officer who kneeled on his neck promised 9 it's. up past the hour on al-jazeera these are the headlines people in cities across the u.s. have defied curfews to continue protests against police brutality in atlanta 2 police officers have been fired for using excessive force and they surrounded one car slashed its tires and then tasered 2 people inside before dragging them to the
10:31 am
ground and handcuffing. i think is law enforcement if we are ever going to get. out of this face that we are in today we have to recognize that our behaviors cannot consistently be pardoned because we are law enforcement. these these are good guys i know them as individuals i've worked with one for over 20 years. but they made that level of mistake that cannot be rolled back. this is washington d.c. protesters set fires near the white house president donald trump has blamed the left wing group known as anti for the outbreak of violence at some protests. we're looking at portland oregon in the early hours saw on the west coast state of oregon police there have been firing tear gas at protesters have been hurling fireworks and other projectiles thousands of people marched through the city earlier in the day mostly peacefully. in other news india's began lifting restrictions after more
