5:02 pm
the number of cases at a daily that is clearly rising with more than a quarter of a 1000000 new infections every 24 hours almost 650000 people wild wide and known to have died after contracting the disease or shortly under gallagher in miami will tell us about the 10s of thousands of new u.s. infections and that is at london's gatwick airport with reaction to britain's snap decision there to reimpose a quarantine on travelers from spain but 1st this report from. an unexpected change of plans now worse before boarding a flight from spain back to the u.k. these tourists have learned will have to quarantine for 14 days on arrival the country was taken over britain say travel on saturday and the measure took effect at midnight we had a wedding to go to and we help plans to visit friends and family that we haven't seen in about a long time i'm not like i have to cancel all those plans so it's really quite upset this sudden reversal follows
5:03 pm
a surge of covert 19 infections in spain we cry for straight right to be honest because it fails she feels safer in spain would it to the u.k. . before we left the u.k. it wasn't monday cheats rough rice must in a lot of places. but nearly everybody is wearing them so. many of the new infections in spain are among young people showing mild or no symptoms lockdowns were imposed in some areas and barcelona bars said curfews and many nightclubs closed the tourism industry in spain accounts for about 12 percent of the country's economy and it's again her pairing for a downturn more than 20 percent of its foreign visitors last year were british and now france is recommending people avoid traveling there. so far we've had no cancellations but this may create. doubts for people over the coming
5:04 pm
weeks i hope there are fewer cases but a lot of work has to be done. the sudden reimposition of restrictions is a reminder to many that even though some walked down measures here recently relaxed the pandemic appears to be far from over. here. well now let's speak to the d.m. bob he is outside got recap for us in london nadeem i see that madrid has been defending their coronavirus response there. absolutely the message from the spanish government is that they respect britain's decision but they are really trying to get the message to the public that spain remain safe for tourism the foreign minister in the last couple of hours has been saying that. the country is only experiencing localized isolated outbreaks of call that 90 she's mentioned 3 main areas barcelona lariat and saragossa saying
5:05 pm
that in those cities the the outbreaks are under control and that they're in her words perfectly traced suggesting that the test in trace system in spain is. in a better shape than it is in britain she didn't say that but that's the subtext and people in spain are pointing out the infection levels could be just as high here as in spain britain said that it had to act quickly after the date or on friday in spain that there were 900 new cases in a 24 hour period as well as these localized outbreaks the british government stressing that it was always their intention to react to the news like this as the country ease out of its major lockdown and despite its encouragement of people to take holidays in the last month or so and this is clearly caught so many people off god how are people that you're speaking to taking this decision.
5:06 pm
well 2 i think it's a mixed bag a lot of people are disappointed that they have had to cancel their plans to travel to spain we spoke earlier on to a teacher who in the who works in the middle and here in england she's a key worker so is her husband that trying to go to southern spain they can't afford to take 2 weeks off work when they come back so they're now travelling to edinburgh other people just simply canceling travel plans some people are more resigned as to what's happening saying that they knew there was always going to be a risk it's going to be a big hit to the travel industry and to e europe's largest holiday company is now canceling holidays to maine and spain for the next 2 weeks they're saying that the government should actually exempt the barley eric highlands and the canary islands from that coren scene rule because they have such low infection rates and in fact the spanish foreign minister says
5:07 pm
that she's now trying to get the british government to do that as well we could see some movement there but certainly there are lots of people who've been inconvenienced and perhaps who've lost money as well as the chance to see loved ones because of this move of their force that way outside gatwick airport in london thank you very much name well let's now move over to the u.s. and to andy gallagher he's in miami florida one of the u.s. states where infections are rising fastest and standing in a place that's really become one of the hot spots hit where president tom's even canceled one of his republican convention events how is the governor back up being . well the governor on the scientists is a very close ally of president trump and fact he spent saturday with the president at the white house but he's big he's coming under increasing criticism because his approach of this is much like donald trump's he's refusing to talk about closing businesses once again or scaling back remember we're talking about phases that
5:08 pm
doesn't seem to be a subject anyone talks about anymore and he's pushing parents in this state to put their children back into school next month but there is a very much a patchwork approach to tackling this pandemic so you've got the governor not talking about mandating mask wearing whereas here in miami dade county the worst affected county in the entire state the mare of miami has put a mandate in order and is reinforcing it with more than 40 police officers know that she handed out a fair amount of fines already so i think for many people that is frustrating at the top of the next hour we will get at sunday's latest figures and if they follow the pattern that this state has followed for the past 2 weeks we're expecting more than 10000 new cases that's been the case every day they peaked on july the 12th with more than 15000 cases the number of deaths here is edging towards 6000 and yet there's still no joined up thinking in this state as in many other states as to how to tackle this pandemic meanwhile the i.c.u.
5:09 pm
units in the hospitals are getting dangerously close to being full and these numbers just keep climbing across the whole country and you talk about this patchwork of plates is there a sense that authorizes might be trying to shift their approach to address these numbers. no i mean the short answer is not really yes today 18 states reported record numbers and then mostly in what's known as the sun belt states so you're talking about places like texas and hurricane hanna just hit the coast of texas within the last 24 hours and california is really bad as is arizona and for the last 4 days in a row the u.s. has reported more than a 1000 deaths per day for the last 4 days so the situation is pretty dire what we've got here is a situation where president trump hasn't laid out a national strategy he has passed it on to the states to deal with in many cases the states governors have passed it on to the mayors of large cities and those
5:10 pm
running small counties to deal with also so that patchwork approach seems to continue meanwhile on the minds of many people here especially parents is do they send the children back to school in the coming few weeks because you've got dr dr anthony found she talking about this not enough science or research known as to how children will react the risk to teaches and yet the trumpet ministration and certainly run the scientists here in florida are pushing parents to get their children back into school and they got together and miami florida with all the latest for us thank you very much andy. staying in the us and protests in the city of portland against racism and police brutality and now into their 9th week nationwide demonstrations started back in may after the killing of george floyd and many apple s portland city leaders say anger is being inflamed by president donald trump's decision to send federal agents right to get the harding reports. god demonstrations like these have been held in portland oregon for the last 2

5:12 pm
city has absolutely brought a broader base to the to the protests that were there at the beginning then after you know a month or so all the protests were getting a little bit smaller and this is only brought about everyone that would have been out at the beginning. federal agents were also sent to the neighboring state of washington. on saturday fighting broke out during protests in seattle dozens of people were arrested and officers wounded. despite the criticism and unrest president trump said he's ready to send hundreds more federal officers to cities across the country leon harding al-jazeera. russia's president says new nuclear weapons are on the way for the navy during a navy day parade in st petersburg that appears in said hypersonic cruise missile as well as underwater nuclear drones now in their final stages of testing.

5:18 pm
with 160000000000 euros to keep on modernizing the country and its society and now they send a signal to the electorate like the conservative electorate rate we do what we want and we define what our principles and priorities are that is simple convention is not a european union convention it's a council of europe convention it's is confusing because they even share the same flack but it's an independent organization with different members so it doesn't do directly harm with the membership of the european union but one would expect that potent is as committed as everybody else but the government has a slightly different interpretation of that is the kind of pandemic has been devastating for tests and performance museums have shot there has said empty and constant so festivals have all been cancelled governments have stepped in with support but the form is in the us pushing congress from will when i was on the
5:19 pm
reports from neil. for better or worse the u.s. is slowly reopening its economy restaurants parks and even pools have been opening their doors but for some industries there is still no light at the end of the tunnel the health risks of the coated 1000 virus keeping the curtain firmly closed on theaters cinemas and music venues which means no work for millions in the arts and entertainment industry people like carson l. rod and actor who's been relying on the extra federal unemployment payments to make ends meet when something like this happens and everything shuts down and there's nothing to hustle for and there's nothing even look for it takes a situation that's already preparing and that makes it. i don't i don't know any other way to describe it but just terrifying i'm challenging you guys today to become arts heroes that's where the be an arts hero campaign comes in
5:20 pm
a grassroots lobbying effort for arts and entertainment workers its members are imploring u.s. senators not just to extend the extra unemployment payments before they are set to expire on july 31st but also to come up with a stimulus package to save struggling institutions across the country it's not only the biggest theaters like here on broadway that have remained closed but also the smaller independent theaters as well as music venues everyone from actors to actresses to the millions of people behind the scenes maybe facing financial ruin be an arts hero campaign organizers point to the $50000000000.00 bailout given to the u.s. airline companies. far more than the $75000000.00 so far given to arts and entertainment that's despite arts and entertainment they say being worth more to the u.s. economy we are instrumental and a cornerstone of the united states organizers say they don't want preferential
5:21 pm
treatment from the government just proportional to help prevent a tragic ending for millions in the industry gabriels on dough al-jazeera new york and greece has made the return of the possum a mobbles from the british museum in london one of its top priorities in the meantime a restoration project is underway as that undo the damage that has been done to the building when a british arrest a cracked removed those sculptures back in the early 19th century. reports from athens. this mobile block is being cut out to make history it will eventually form part of the puffin them when new model is being precisely chiseled to be married to surviving fragments. the reconstructed blocks will be hoisted back into the structure much of the damage to this 2500 year old temple was caused relatively recently just over 200 years ago the 7th removed dozens of
5:22 pm
sculpted panels to get to them he hoisted masonry off the roof and dashed it to the ground yeah not. to remove something you have to dismantle whatever's on top of it it's not like pulling a book off the shelf temple construction was like lego they were built from the bottom up this is why they've lasted each piece is fitted exactly to the pieces around it and that makes them earthquake resistant the sculptures formed part of the structure this quake proof technology has lasted world the ancient greeks connected each block of marble to its neighbor with. over which molten lead was poured insulated and prevent rust and for $25.00 centuries these clumps absorbed strains when blocks of marble moved against each other during earthquakes and they've kept this temple from collapsing but earthquakes have done far less damage than people even those who unlike meant well the clumps used in
5:23 pm
a 19th century restoration rusted expanded and split the surrounding marble and venetian francesco who meant to liberate africans from the ottomans 350 years ago did the most damage of all causing an explosion that ripped the parthenon open visitors are divided over how much of the original parthenon should be restored. that's better than i think it's better when you have your imagination i would love to see exactly how it was i think that would be amazing i'd love to see exactly how and maybe we have a 2nd chance that he came here i mean showing future generations what was there this restoration won't go as far as reconstruction it's a mystery heal the damage. maurizio me caused greeks hope that part of that healing will eventually be the return of the sculptures that once the doom to their most sacred of monuments jumps or open those films. in
5:24 pm
1965 us civil rights activist john lewis led a march across the now infamous bridge in selma alabama demanding black voting rights he was knocked down and based on unconscious as a congressman he made that journey again with presidents clinton and obama and now in the next couple of hours a little over a week after his passing john lewis will make that journey one last time it's part of 6 days of ceremonies planned to remember his leading role in politics and civil rights in the united states well let's now speak to lester spence again he's a professor of political science and africana studies at johns hopkins university and he joins us now from baltimore lester as we've been saying today mr lewis is going to be carried across the bridge on which he nearly died at the hands of state troopers while leaving a very peaceful march it's a bridge that i believe may even be renamed for him how much has his country your country changed since that bloody sunday was a great question so. one of them so what we see after that are actually 2 sets
5:25 pm
of policies that i think are really really important 1st of a set of policies that actually open up the united states in terms of the right that make it where my family from to solve for example good participate and social political economic life as something close to full citizens but the other thing that we don't talk about this a lot is that moment we also see the doors open as far as immigration so between approximately 1900 and about 19 the 961970 s. the only way you could immigrate into the us into the country was basically if you were white if you were from europe you know from the european countries what we see as simultaneously what the civil rights legislation is also in the legislation that opens up the doors so immigrants are from asia immigrants from africa emigrants that are from south america emigres that work why and what that does is that starts
5:26 pm
to transform the country in a range of different ways again politically socially economically even culturally like i'm a hip hop guy my house guy but as far as hip hop we actually see hip hop come and with. caribbean emigrants right we don't necessarily have hip hop if a caribbean emigrates and i aren't actually allowed to immigrate into the united states so those are a couple of things that are coming as a direct result of john lewis nash or less to even amid all of that growing diversity and we've seen protests and in his last days i know mr nuss when he watched the off the mouth of george fights death in one of his last interviews he talked about how that made him cry but that he also hopes that the country was headed towards grace and change are you confident of that change. people ask me this all the time it's kind of like a whole question i really don't don't don't have
5:27 pm
a lot of hope but what i will say is that in moments of intense crisis are moments of tremendous opportunity and we haven't seen a moment like this since the beginning of the 20th century and we haven't seen political activism like this since the 1950 s. and 1960 s. so what i do believe is that this is a moment where we're going to see that type of action translated and enduring political action into enduring political institutions that will that has the capacity to basically reverse the trying to conceive less to as we've been saying hand one of the phases that mr noah southwest could travel to a peaceful nonviolent protest and we have seen violence of these last 2 months of demonstrations even more so now that these federal officers have been deployed and how would mr know this one protester approached this. i thought i get that question. i think what
5:28 pm
he'd want them to do is to use creativity innovation. and. with that eye towards creating the enduring institutions and practices that were in the bible it stands being that there are bases. there is a way to ask that question where where people are kind of sort of trying to get good people the person asking to talk about the enduring need for nonviolence. the police are brutal so i think that on one hand john lewis would say well you know you know is that in a way that that would create enduring victories in the act now violently but it's important for to really understand the violence that's happening here is the bartletts coming from police in this day and we have to keep on reiterate. lester
5:29 pm
spence that a professor of political science an african a studies at johns hopkins university great to speak to you again here on al-jazeera said thank you for being with us thank you all a month before his death john lewis had a message for protest as rallying across the u.s. following the death of george floyd to give until you cannot give anymore as we reported earlier protests and portland oregon have continued after 2 months with many still determined to keep marching until there is real change. just harmful for what's right for not just because it's not like people but the police brutality. lowry was saying i'm not i'm not we want change we want justice and that's what we're doing tonight and furthermore we're here representing sitting here where rick perry. executive overreach. ok here's the futurist department. is performing right now it's just disgusting. showing the world of what
5:30 pm
they were not serious only serious other people not side like me and. when i grew up either thought this would ever be a president sort of an opportunity but you know every few decades the curtains get drawn back in how old your country can be and right now we're told the curtains open we're not going to let a close again. live . that this is al jazeera and these are the headlines 1000000 people have been infected with corona virus in the last 4 days bringing the global total to more than 16000000 the united states brazil and india are leading that sajan new cases and the u.k. has now begun imposing a 2 week quarantine for travelers returning from spain that change began at midnight on sunday leaving many tourists scrambling to get home but he has moved from london's gatwick airport. researcher of this rubbish government is that they
5:31 pm
respect britain's decision but they are really trying to get the message to the public that spain remains safe for terrorism the foreign minister in the last couple of hours has been saying that. the kultury is only experiencing localized isolated outbreaks are probably going to be she's merging 3 main areas barcelona larry and star augustus saying that in those cities the year the outbreaks are under control and in her words perfect retraced there have been more scuffles and tear gas on the sea on the streets of the u.s. city of portland as protests continue there against police brutality those demonstrations sparked by the killing of george floyd have now been going on for more than 2 months. poland is pulling out of a european treaty aimed at preventing violence against women thousands protested against that planned withdrawal in cities across the country the justice minister
