several countries are reopening schools and more of their economies but with strict rules to prevent a 2nd wave of corona virus infections and the famous grand bazaar in istanbul opens its doors for the 1st time in months as restrictions are lifted. so we're starting in the u.s. of course where people have been defined curfews again in cities across the country continuing their protests against police brutality in atlanta 2 police officers were sacked after they were seen on camera using excessive force we'll start with this from britain's. police misconduct amid nationwide protests over police misconduct here police in riot gear surround a car with 2 young black people inside one slashes a tire. another smashes the driver's window

for. the young woman is taste and violently dragged out although she is not resisting. 7 the male driver is manhandled and also shocked with a taser even though each room doesn't appear to resist but put down what it got to go for us on sunday after the police body cam video went viral 2 of the policemen were fire authorities identified them as ivory streeter and mark gardner writes this was atlanta georgia on saturday night for protesters calling for justice for the death in minneapolis of george floyd it could have been almost anywhere in the us atlanta mayor keesha lance bottoms said the officers actions were unacceptable sometime during the night i saw

a very disturbing video of 2 young college students who were in downtown atlanta yesterday evening and it was disturbing on many levels at the least of not which was set there clearly was an excessive use of force the 3 other officers were placed on desk duty and main face further discipline plan as police chief apologized how we behaved as an agency as individuals was unacceptable and i know that we are. cause further fear. to you in a space that's already so fearful for so many african-americans and i'm genuinely sorry this is not who we are this is not where we were about another disturbing video from los angeles shows a police vehicle excel orating into protesters knocking 2 of them down it then

reverse that high speed nearly striking other people no one was seriously injured rob reynolds al-jazeera los angeles. let's look elsewhere police in the u.s. city of portland were involved in the standoff with protesters they used tear gas and stun grenades as they tried to disperse the crowd there fires were met and protesters trying to break police barricades portland among the many cities that imposed overnight curfews. and now mike hanna in washington brings us up to date on the protests there and the moves to crackdown on a far left group. protesters once again gathered in the vicinity of the white house kept a distance away by layers of police and secret service officers. invoking the name of the man whose dick has sparked these nationwide protests here are 5 and the

president chose to assign responsibility for the violence that broke out in the past 24 hours singling out the predominantly left wing anti fascist movement known as anti. the united states he tweeted will be designated as a terrorist organization the problem is that there is no u.s. 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 antics 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 biden visited a protest site wearing a mask he talked to demonstrators and then released the street urging the need to listen and whether intentionally or not including a picture of himself taking a knee in the manner of athletes in recent years protesting police brutality. there were some isolated incidents of unrest particularly in philadelphia where a building was set alight and arrests were made. as the demonstrations continued into the night there were once again outbreaks of violence in various cities. plains a few blocks away from the white house in what police described as renewed vandalism

. for the marring what had been a day of largely peaceful protest. washington just want to show you the other side to this the actual protests and in fact the memorials that are going on as well this was held for george floyd in minneapolis on sunday residents of the city placing flowers and photos of him. holding a peaceful protests in the place where it is all began and that's where we're going now minneapolis very from n.b.c. news with us around 6 in the morning. it is important to see those pictures and i know you can see them there but the idea of a peaceful memorial of a peaceful protest because everything else tends to have a take it i mean i just look at the scene behind you. yeah i think you're absolutely right you know when you drive through this town or walk through these communities you see either boarded up buildings or burned out

buildings and what you don't see all too often is what a majority of the people here are doing and that's peacefully protesting and calling for change we've seen thousands of people gathered here without any him to violence actually getting along with police officers as they continue to monitor situations across this community and those protesters say they'll continue to be here for as long as necessary of course police sheriff's deputies the national guard they say they're going to stick around as well to make sure things stay peaceful and last night really for the 1st time since george floyd's death there was a sense of calm in this community not across the rest of the country obviously but at least it looks like right now things trending in the right direction here here at the start of a new day that i wonder how these things sort of play out over the course of the day of protest as we start coming out in the morning of the afternoon water they

greeted with a human you you mentioned police and national guard yeah. yeah and they'll continue to monitor neighborhoods especially hotspots in the city but what we saw yesterday and what kind of denoted a shift here was not only protesters but families coming out to areas like this cleaning up what they can trying to bring some hope back to this community and others i think you'll see that today i think today will be a bit different though because it is exactly a week since floyd's death here so i think you'll see more people gathering i think you'll see in some areas more emotion i think this will be an important and special day and i think what you hear from those who have been out here day and night and doing things peacefully is they're frustrated with the small group of people who continue to cause problems damage set fires violent

skirmishes they feel like their message is being lost by the violence that's getting highlighted in so many areas right now a very is with us from minneapolis this morning thank you j. . in some cities police offices of in fact joined those who've been protesting this is california where officers knelt during a rally in a pose made famous by the american football player coming catholic that was his response to police brutality against black people a sheriff in michigan told protest as we are with you before he and other officers join the much. you got a voice that said. he represents. them all over the county and around the station we go up there to help people do that nonsense and there. was no man like they were gentlemen.

we want to be with you for real so i took the lead at the time and. i want to make this occur. 6 so let's. keep. you chose but you. will move on to some other news china has hit back at the u.s. over its decision to end preferential treatment for hong kong because of a new security law that will be imposed in the territory beijing says any attempts by the u.s.

to harm chinese interests will be met with firm countermeasures kong has until now enjoyed special trade and travel privileges with the u.s. not given to the mainland on tuesday president don't trump announced he would be ending that relationship. they've also been more protests in hong kong by people calling for independence from china many believing this new law will simply end the territories autonomy. in libya there is a new ground battle underway south of tripoli his loyal to the warlord khalifa haftar are attacking the town. just kilometers away from an important supply line local sources have told al jazeera a drone and up to 25 armed vehicles are part of this offensive just as half his forces were forced to retreat from areas near the capital's airport on sunday more news coming up on al jazeera india eases some of its lockdown restrictions but many say it's just wise in primary schools in england are open for classes once again not everyone is convinced.

we got the seasonal rains are really setting in now across southern and central parts of china lots of cloud showing up here we have seen flooding in recent days and your front last going to nudge a little further north which as we go on through the next day or 2 so we are going to see it turning increasingly wet across the southern half of china some really heavy downpours that we can expect to see some flash flooding as a result of that still so bloody show is there around the korean peninsula japan generally set fair temperatures getting up to about $28.00 celsius in tokyo more the same as we go on through where to stay but it's also want to see showers and that western weather which will spell out as central parts of china pushing right through shanghai again you are looking at flooding rains here something to watch out for that will push its way very close to q shoe south of

a system where we are going to see bryce's skies only humid so a bit brighter skies coming back into hong kong and he said watching out for some very lively weather pushing across western parts of india over the next day i would say because a lot of the cloud just pushing across the eastern side of the arabian sea this looks likely to develop into a tropical side so in the coming days as we want to watch it's pushing right up the western ghats it'll not just lie further north was eventually making its way all the way through to rats. but. it's amazing in the case because you have the forest service here to regain those least has the potential to be biased in a number of different ways there are too many opportunities for the computer to get wrong who's checking those offices who commit those data entry is wrong to be saying that your son the tonight is road. kill of becoming

states and china's hit back at the u.s. over its decision to end preferential treatment for hong kong because of beijing's proposed security law china says any attempts by americans to harm chinese interests will be met with counter measure it's. some more coronavirus news for you now and south africa has postponed the reopening of its schools by a week because of concerns of a possible 1000 infections students in their final year of primary and secondary education would you to begin studies on monday the teachers unions oppose the move saying there's not enough protective equipment scum some schools that reopened in the western cape province have been criticized for doing so. in a minute with more from johannesburg. the last that parents had heard from the government is that schools would open on june 1st that's now been perspired for a week in only after a battle with the unions who said that the schools are ill prepared to take back

students or during this period there is a lot of concern around the decision to reopen the economy and also the schools despite that being phased in schools across the country that don't have a personal protective equipment for teachers and students schools that don't have proper sanitation including running water and that's especially the case in rural areas areas outside of cities and towns and unions are complaining that much of the resources are being focused on cities on towns a private schools in particular have a far more resources and they are public schools in this country that don't aren't in that position to adequately prepare for the return of students there is a lot of concern given that south africa hasn't reached its peak in terms of covert 19 infections right now south africa has about 32000 infections just under 700 people have died from a covert 19 and it's expected based on the government's projections that the people

only be reached in a couple of months or so so given that south africa is potentially in the early days of trying to deal with the scar on a virus there is concern about opening up the economy children returning to school and the schools not being adequately prepared some children in england there are returning to school they've been kept away from classes for 10 weeks now but again there is this intense debate about whether it's true. of. 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 areas off this 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 to come back and to resume our daily life as much as we can 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 that 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 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 lockdown when the pandemic was already there so it was in 3 and they are right paul brennan al-jazeera north london officials in india are allowing some citizens to return to work and other activities after being under lockdown for more than 2 months public

transport will gradually be restored this week at high risk zones will stay on the lockdown until the end of june india actually reported its highest single day jumping cases on monday and more than 5000 people have died and it's a bit piron i'm quoting now from new delhi. off to 4 phases of lockdown the government is calling what's happening from monday unlock 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 the 1st in the country since the law began but no more than 10 people allowed inside to maintain social distancing we are seeing more people out markets getting busy and as you mentioned we're seeing public transport in the form of buses metro system but all of this is happening as the number of cases in india continues to rise there are nearly 200000 have recovered but over 5000 deaths of 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 health care system and that the government must continue to make the maximum effort to do so to handle the evitable rise in the number of cases as restrictions. officials in the philippine capital manila are easing lockdown restrictions businesses including salans and barber shops riyadh to reopen on monday philippine airlines is also planning to resume flights on select domestic and international routes and people are still being told to follow the strict health guideline it's a stone bull's famous marketplace the grand bazaar has reopened after its longest closure in more than 550 years shut down in march as part of measures to contain coronavirus simcoe scioli is at the bazaar today. when the are normally is very busy to cause a woman up without smashing them people this is the 1st they say it is going to

remain in full on till 4 pm local time and let me remind that some of the 1st film i was chasing were reported among the am among the businessmen and the grandfathers are today there are some local visitors who are chiles about the grasses and probably also play some will people are tired of staying at home we have been speaking to the shop owners here most of them are wolf and some of those left for you for instance you can see the shops here some of them are cool some of them are open but we are told that most of the close ones are also preparing for open up and doing the screenings this way is to be ready by the end of this week by friday however when we speak to the people they say that my photos will submit this image here are the words for

a soul. with the local businesses they don't know how much to do as well as she approaches fulfilling its stores today is a mistake boys are beginning and should by june and the international flights are going to begin however on the cellphone has also opened their doors for thursday they will be most always so they are ready for the back to marry you and they're saying that at least we are going to follow our business running in such matters and things just fall but this was the 1st day it is quite crowded there's another side mostly from the surface local people. of course this pandemics change how so many of us live but it's also forcing a rethink about how cities and towns will be built in the future when hey in organising and takes a look at how health priorities are changing urban design. as more people emerge from the coronavirus hibernation 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 urban ism the process of making quick interim low cost changes that over time become permanent was being trial before the pandemic now the government is investing in modifying city streets momentum has been built and certainly a lot of people that we work with the local council around the country on their barrow already thinking about this way of operating and working and so i think the crown of our us kind of artists in personalized 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 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 on. 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 environments now architects and 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 of 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 docketed will fade governments are investing now but may not be so keen as the economic fallout from cova $1000.00 worsens and money is diverted elsewhere but those pushing for change say the cost of not preparing for the next outbreak would be too high wayne hay al-jazeera auckland's. back to the protests in the u.s. of course against the death of a black man in police custody no surprise that hashtag black lives matter is the top conversation online in the u.s. and has been await many using it to document protests and to voice their own experience. stylee a recent graduate from occidental college i just got my bachelor of arts and politics tell us why you think it's better i was also

today we have to recognize that our behaviors cannot consistently be parted 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. in some cities police officers have joined those protesting officers in california milt's during a rally the pows made famous by american football player calling kappa nick in response to police brutality against black people in other states police held banners with statements against violence and racism other headlines china has hit back at the u.s. over its decision to end preferential treatment for hong kong because of beijing's proposed security law china says any attempts by america to harm chinese interests will be met with firm counter measures and they've been more protests in hong kong
