let me ask you how worried you are about the increase in hostilities in yemen we listen to these is the moment to stop all the 30 action this is the moment to concentrate on fighting over why did we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that although just 0. more than 100000 new cases have been reported almost every single day warnings that the world faces a 2nd wave of coronaviruses the global tally shows infections of past 8000000. but i'm down in jordan this is not a 0 live from doha also coming up. we're protecting germany and it delinquent that doesn't make sense donald trump confirms he will withdraw thousands of u.s. soldiers stationed in germany in

a dispute over nato funding. a saudi led coalition fighting in yemen is dropped from the un blacklist drawing protests from human rights groups. and the new road through occupied east jerusalem hailed by some as a much needed bypass feared by others as another step towards an extension. welcome to the program a coronavirus tally by the u.s. based johns hopkins university says global infections have now passed 8000000 the world health organization has issued new warnings about a possible 2nd wave some of beijing's neighborhoods are back in lockdown after 100 factions were concerned the chinese capital had gone 50 days without any reported cases in india 15000000 people will be locked down again in the southern city of chennai from friday just surgeon infections there iran 2 is considering tough new

measures after announcing more than a 100 deaths for a 2nd straight day infection numbers this month have reached highs not seen since late march during the initial outbreak it took more than 2 months for the 1st 100000 cases to be reported for the past 2 weeks more than 100000 new cases have been reported almost every single day. almost 75 person of the same cases come from 10 countries mostly in the americas and selves asia countries must stay arlott to the possibility of resurgence while one of china's top disease expert says the next 3 days will be crucial in predicting the impact of a resurgence of coronavirus in the capital. since the new cases suddenly emerged in beijing we have tried to figure out the reasons for the outbreak since there were no covert $1000.00 cases found of the past 2 months we came up with several

possibilities and the most likely one is that the carrier of the novel coronavirus comes from outside china or other parts of china and brought it here katrina you has more now from beijing. for a long time for the since the beginning of this pandemic beijing was considered one of the safest places in china of compared to the rest of the country case the numbers have remained lower since the beginning of the year so. we've seen in recent weeks a lot of establishment opening back up a lot of restrictions that we saw in terms of checks and temperatures and security checks have been relaxed people are going back to restaurants that many entertainment venues have been opening back up and also it's the someone else or many people were going back out and enjoying the weather now because of this just in the last few days we're on the other side of the city compared to where this relative to where this outbreak is taking place but even here in downtown beijing the streets are nor simply quieter many people have been encouraged to work from

home even behind me you can see the traffic if it's not as busy as it might have been last week and many establishment are closed again we had some crucial economic dosser from may come in yesterday on monday and it seems and output is bouncing back but retail sales are still quite low and it's 3 percent down from this time last year and domestic consumption is a major driver of the chinese economy so it seems that this new album is really going to deal quite a severe blow to consumer confidence here in china. despite some countries returning towards lockdown europe's borders are reopening 3 months after they shut down when it came reports from one border between germany and denmark. for much of the past few months it's been almost impossible for most people to cross here in a region where cross border links are historically strong but now some restrictions have been relaxed and germans living in the border region can cross into denmark as well as some tourists planning a long stay if you are not

a german citizen from sleeze rahal's house then you have to have a purpose for going into denmark it could be you have occasion 6 nights stay in denmark that will be legal purpose entering than mark but while the danish police have loosened the restrictions on people coming across the border into denmark on the other side the german colleagues have abandoned them which is exactly what many people in that part of germany have been hoping for for months people like down to christians who manages a number of shops just down the road from the border before corona came almost all of the customers here were scandinavian then suddenly almost all could no longer come here to the problematic buy shouldn't be easy it was a huge issue because the shutdown happened on march 13th when denmark announced no entry or exit and shortly afterwards germany followed suit so it had 3 months of total loss and that's 3 months of total loss where you can't reduce your ongoing costs that's extreme. sentiments like that are shared across europe where many

countries hope reopening borders will help restart their strong economies as here between france and italy and in the french capital before a these are now allowing bars and restaurants to reopen fully including eating inside from monday at the e.u. level officials are coordinating programs to provide citizens with up to date information about border reopening and other travel issues during the pandemic he already you offer is practical information provided by each member state the commission on travel restrictions health and safety measures such as physical distancing wearing a mask as well if other useful information on you and national tourism activities during the course of the coronavirus closures germany turned back almost 200000 people who try to cross it's from tears with other european countries now it believes the time is right to reopen those borders dominic came out just 0 on the

german danish border. major airlines in the u.s. are promising to strictly enforce coronavirus safety measures including banning people who don't wear masks 7 of the top american carriers say they'll enforce the wearing of masks by passengers and start to reduce the risk of infections that's on top of the increased sanitation temperature checks and the installation of air filters. u.s. president says he will sign an executive order on police reform on tuesday he's hailed u.s. law enforcement is being made up of quote most great people trump says his executive order will ensure reforms a fair just and safe it follows widespread protests after the death of george floyd in police custody in minnesota mike hanna has more from washington d.c. . the president speaking to reporters didn't reveal much of what he is going to be signing in the course of the next 24 hours however a senior administration official fleshed out what the president is thinking often

one of the elements is a financial incentive for police departments to improve the standard of their practices so far from cutting off funding as some mayors have done and there will be a financial incentive to police departments that improve their standards another issue that the president is reportedly going to be looking at is prioritizing corespondent services now this essentially would mean embedding social workers with police units when they respond to calls of a nonviolent nature getting social workers right on the front lines with police to work together so these are some of the elements that the president is considering clearly there is no punitive measure here another statement that the senior administration official spoke about as well is improving the reporting duties between police departments in order to highlight those police officers who do have

a bad record in terms of their activities so all of these together would appear on the face of it to be something more like suggestions of what must go forward president trump stressing that he has been consulting very closely with law enforcement officials and any order that he signs will be done with the knowledge and the import of those law enforcement officials. on the police shooting of a black man in atlanta has been declared a homicide by a car in a rush brooks was killed by police that a drive through a restaurant on friday night after resisting arrest for failing an alcohol test he was shot twice in the back the death wreaked not of protests in atlanta i can never get me as if i could never get a bed for actually never tell my daughter oh he's coming to take you for a day and i'm just thankful for everything that. everyone is out there doing and i just say if you could just keep it as

a peaceful protest that would that would be wonderful because we want to keep his name positive for john malcolm is from the institute for constitutional government he says the autumn may improve ways for the police to better engage with community . i have heard that the executive order is going to include credentialing of police departments so that they have best practices on things i.d.'s collation techniques and use of force standards and community engagement practices it's going to be a lot more information sharing about officers who engage in violation of excessive force policies and police department will be able to access that information so that a bad police officer doesn't move from one department to another they're also going to be i believe. training a stablished for police officers to deal with people who are homeless or or addicted to substances or suffering from mental disorders and they're going to be

working with social workers and psychologists in a coal responder program and then there's also going to be a lot more grant money to assist with things like recruiting and retaining you know high performing officers access to mental health programs for officers and other programs to support a more robust and productive community. time for a short break here now to 0 when we come back how coronavirus patients are keeping in touch with their loved ones waiting outside hospitals and a russian court sentences a former american marine to 16 years for spying the u.s. calls it a mockery of justice more innocent. hello it remains unknown surprisingly hot throughout levant the arabian peninsula was

how does it make screw city well brazil has recorded another 627 deaths and more than 20000 new infections and hospitals in the bolivian city of santa cruz are overwhelmed the video has emerged of a man lying on the pavement and medical staff refusing or unable to help and there's also a shortage of protective equipment for hospital staff president trump has confirmed he's ordering a significant reduction in the number of u.s. troops based in germany he says the total will come down to about 25000 and u.s. currently has about $34.00 and a half 1000 there trump accuses his nato ally of being delinquent paying for its own defense and that its contributions to the alliance is budget. germany as you know is very delinquent in their. payments to nato and they're paying one percent in this supposed to be a 2 percent and the 2 percent is very low it should be much more than that so the

delinquent of billions of dollars and this is 2 years delinquent so we're removing . a number down to what put in the number down to 25000 soldiers we'll see what happens but moch some accounts keys a nonresident fellow with the atlantic council he says trump is incorrect in suggesting that germany i was the u.s. money for nato and this comes directly after reportedly chancellor merkel among others were resistant to coming to the united states for a g. 7 summit i think the president was very angry with the chancellor personally over that and of course comes over frustration that the president has had of germany's inability to meet the 2 percent the fed's press role that all allies are committed to in the will summit several years ago so i would not say germany is delinquent they don't owe the united states money they don't own nato money they're paying their nato do but from the president's perception is that because germany is unable to meet the 2 percent threshold even though it has been rising in its commitment

that you has the ability which he does to punish germany higher than the u.s. forces but again those forces 'd are not there to protect your money those forces are there to protect all the you know. countries as well as to protect u.s. interests and frankly it's being done you know laterally and it's a gift to president putin which again i think reinforces why this president has such a strange relationship with russia and he's now essentially given russia a gift by remove the u.s. forces without getting anything in return. the u.s. secretary of state says he's outraged by the president the hands of a former marine in russia has been sentenced to 16 years after being found guilty of spying he says he was set up. now i didn't know you're going to go away he's just been sentenced by a moscow court to 16 years in jail but paul wieland has rejected the sentence as politically motivated the form of the marine who's 50 deny spying for the u.s.

a mockery of justice and today just confirmed was an american citizen has been sentenced to the term of 60 years for a cause for which we have not seen evidence that they feel are you know that a medical condition and for heaven's sake there's been speculation about a possible prisoner swap ever since whelan's arrest according to his legal team wanted to do a deal with washington involving arms dealer viktor bout and another russian jailed for conspiracy to smuggle cocaine it is likely that the story well and in effect in the us in a similar way to. other stories with people accused of espionage or other illegal activity whether it's russian citizens in the united states or other american women will serve his sentence in a maximum security prison but his lawyer says he plans to appeal against the verdict nadine barber al jazeera. the e.u.
