iran accuses the e.u. of failing to all of the 2050 nuclear deal and formally activates the dispute is. stuck at sea a state of emergency declared on all the mediterranean rescue ships carrying migrants and refugees. a strict lockdown has been imposed in an area of spain that's home to more than 200000 people following a surge in corona virus cases part of the catalonia region is being closed off with no one allowed to enter or leave the move comes to spain's hospitals the sector was hoping to salvage what remains of the all important summer season there have been 62057 confirmed cases in catalonia since the outbreak began with 5673 related deaths for this that's joined al jazeera is that the baba who is
2:02 pm
in london the team tell us more about this area of spain that's been locked down and why. well aged it's near the town of later it's a rural area which is home to 200000 people and now the regional thirty's in catalonia in the northeast of spain have said that from 4 in the afternoon local time on saturday no one will be able to enter that area all leave that area so they have got advanced warning but it has come as a surprise on friday the health authorities in that particular area were saying that they were going to impose a lockdown although they had set up a temporary field hospital in the town of later because they'd seen over one week a rise in the copied cases to 325 in one week and the
2:03 pm
24 hour writing cases was 60 so there had been a noticeable increase in covered 19 cases so they've now changed their gone back on that decision imposing a very localized lockdown this comes against the backdrop of spain opening up the country to tourism already on june the 21st it welcomed in people from the schengen free travel area from the other e.u. countries and from the u.k. but just this week that list has been expanded along with the rest of the e.u. for this area where people can come from without having to go into quarantine and i'm sure that that will be on the minds of many in the regional government in catalonia which does receive many tourists over summer but also nationally as well adrian how does this lockdown in catalonia compare to how other countries the dealing with localized outbreaks. well i think it would be fair to say that they
2:04 pm
have acted quite quickly upon seeing this rise in cases here in britain there has been a big argument a political argument but also one that it's in that involve the health authorities over the city of leicester in the middle where local politicians and the opposition saying that the government delayed by up to a week imposing a lockdown there when there was a flare up because of insufficient data being passed to the local authorities now lester is in a reimposed lockdown which means that although in the rest of england from today right now people can go and have a drink in a pub visit a restaurant go and get their haircut lots of measures being eased in leicester that's not the case schools have closed again and people have been told to stay indoors and only travel for essential reasons so that gives you a clue as to why it's so important to act quickly in other places like in germany
2:05 pm
there have been flare ups around meat processing plant they have been seen to act quickly but it still is not an easy job to keep these a localized square us under control spain has seen its biggest 24 hour rise in copy deaths for 2 weeks now up to friday it was 17 but compare that to the type of figures that we're still seeing here in the u.k. it gives you an indication of the big challenges that still remain here and zeros the debugger reporting live from london many thanks indeed that the. asked as he was saying people in england can now enjoy a restaurant meal a drink at the pub or going to head cards for the 1st time in 3 months as lock down restrictions on east it comes a day after officials revealed a list of countries whose travelers won't face a mandatory 2 week quarantine or a chance reports from. it's a much rarer site than it used to be travellers arriving in the u.k. from abroad the covert pandemic reduced foreign tourism here to
2:06 pm
a trickle don't leave the country unless absolutely necessary was the advice to britons and since early june arrivals from abroad have been required to self isolate for 2 weeks but from next friday coming from some countries at least will no longer mean quarantine which has gone down well at london's gatwick airport yeah i think it's a great thing coming because people are probably a bit of tired of being stuck at home and always pleased to go to some freedom to throw whereas i want to see is a form of us all to take some rest. very confusing and. not. just all for some so happy local and now you know it's great that is being lifted some. really good the 59 countries list has some notable exceptions you where you said it's too risky. russia brazil and india china isn't on it either go home kong is and sweden which controversially didn't lock itself down is
2:07 pm
also missing plus some countries on the list like new zealand have their own core and same rules for arrivals. when the u.k. quarantine was brought in a month ago the travel industry howled coming so late in the crisis it would be nonsensical and pointless they said and it would kick an already crippled industry the measures were introduced at a time when our european neighbors much lower case numbers not rates the weight it so all it was doing was actually acting as an economic barrier to recovery in the travels jollity said but scotland and wales won't be pressured into following england's lead and say they want more time to analyze the lists legal and health implications and when so much is at stake as it is right now we can all lower sales to be dragged along in the week or of another government's to be quite frank about it shambolic decision making process boris johnson is playing down the rift by
2:08 pm

2:09 pm
a claim for national unity at a monument honoring for us president trump attacked protesters who want to take down monuments honoring slave traders and confederate general. angry mobs are trying to tear down statues of our founders to face our most sacred memorials and unleash a wave of violent crime in our cities many of these people have no idea why they're doing this but some know exactly what they are doing they think the american people are weak and soft and submissive. but know the american people are strong and proud trumps tone was angry he accused the racism protesters of engaging in quote far left fascism and he vowed to not just prosecute statue top lawyers but to also build a new monument on during the people he called true american heroes they want to
2:10 pm
silence us. but we will not be silenced. except for a reference to health care workers at the start of his speech trump said nothing about the covert $1000.00 pandemic he's already been criticized for bringing together in a tight space $7500.00 spectators with no physical distancing or required face mask keeps public health officials say the event could accelerate the spread of covert 19 states such as florida texas arizona and california are recording thousands of new cases each day and the national death toll it's near 130008 top administration official is urging people to be extra careful stay fixed feet from others when we can and when we can stay 6 feet from others please i'm begging you where a face covering some florida resident piled into

a donald trump statement in front of mt rushmore south dakota there was almost no mention of coronavirus as the death toll is likely to pass 130000 today and as the virus is not decreasing but is actually surging rising in 42 of 50 states there was no mention of the issues that have been raised by the anti-racism the black lives matter marches instead what trump tried to do is to stigmatize those marches justice equality about relations with the police as big leftist fascism and certainly there was nothing there about bringing america together at this very critical time instead he's gone back to his 2016 tactics which is his base versus america's enemies and gambling that he can get a 2nd term by these very aggressive and somewhat say even hateful politics donald trump does not know. conciliatory he certainly doesn't know i'm sorry donald trump
2:13 pm
only knows one way forward and that's being aggressive and secondly in 2016 there was very little attention to issues it was really all about spectacle and that spectacle helped trump win the electoral college if not the popular vote so his advisors had a critical decision amidst the pandemic and the black last night of march is back at the end of may they could either have a speech of unity or trump could continue to say we've got extremist we've got enemies we've got radicals who are trying to tear us down the european union says that iran has triggered a dispute mechanism as part of its 2050 nuclear deal to iran is accusing european powers of failing to live up to their side of the of the agreement foreign minister german so they've sent a letter to britain france and germany but didn't provide specific details on where the countries fell short of their obligations deals but reveling since the u.s. withdrew from its 2 is a go. iran is also threatening retaliation after a fire at one of its nuclear sites official suspect that it may have been the
