this is deja vu news live from berlin us protesters defy curfews to vent their anger at the violence wanes people gathering at the white house and across the country calling for an end to police brutality and racists. also coming up fleeing china some pagong protesters are seeking refuge in times when we ask what it feels like to be in exile and to fear for your family's safety back home. after months of lockdown italy is reopening its borders to travelers from europe to rescue the country's tourism industry but many fear visitors are still afraid to come.

i'm sumi so much going to thank you for joining us demonstrators in the u.s. have taken to the streets for the 8th night in a row many defied curfews imposed in a number of cities but the protests were relatively calm compared to previous days the demonstrators are demanding an end to racism after a white police officer killed an unarmed black man george floyd by kneeling on his neck. another standoff between police and protest is. 'd both ends of new york's manhattan bridge temporarily blocked by police off to the 8 pm curfew kicks in the defiant crowds trapped until the brooklyn side of the bridge is reopened but want to avoid coming out well rescue

told me i was too forward to come down to the drawing board so your. mom. others to defy new york's curfew marching through the city to protest at the death of george floyd an african-american at the hands of police most were peaceful but there were reports of violence including by some police officers. grabbed innocent people for no reason i just cited lady kaufman unfortunate to the ground this do was abuse a journalist and a press does a press pass and a person to the ground. president trump has threatened to deploy the military and has already called up more than $20000.00 national guard troops. it's a move that angered many including former presidential hopeful elizabeth warren because he said all this way so here's imposing i don't want our mortal people are

here want to go a little protest against the police right even the pope has spoken out condemning racism and violence. we cannot tolerate or turn a blind eye to racism and exclusion in any form and yet claim to defend the sacredness of every human life. and at the heart of all this a human tragedy the mother of george floyd stuart or on able to hold back her tears and her full love paid. every meal for george because i want justice for hill. and i want justice for here because he was. no matter of well him about it they should. in this is the group he was

a good. those calls for justice ringing out across the united states and beyond. let's get the perspective of ed now bono now she is a u.s. born historian of anti-colonialism an activist and writer and a research fellow at the max planck institute of history of science here in berlin and i thank you for joining us you've been blogging about the death of george floyd and the black lights matter movement how are you feeling about what is happening in the u.s. right now. to be honest the species like a century. school or an angry and protect america and like most black americans opposed to. the white house. having to. happen to trayvon martin's entry plan and so many others is because of the national knowledge we have. united states and most of the world is unjust to black people and big pieces of history or

sleep the 1st lady came out and still is a human 1619 but it continues and continues to. this how our lives don't matter to the police they don't matter to the government and the region and the purchased it is a product of centuries of holy onto bearing this injustice. it does seem to be like a dozen like these protests are resonating around the world right now do you think that we're seeing a a watershed moment for race relations globally. so i did say so i think that modern racism and slavery were bad to biker kids and here in germany they're not a view from every sense of a stash really given the border regime and beyond that i would say with the history of berlin it being the site which colonial and african clues it began in terms of

partition the continent there's still the kind of colonialism that still exists here i would say the european context it's important for us to know that in 2000 love it protests sparked and lend it out to morrow to get a black man shot and killed the frost of the major protests that are also ensued in 2000. and 2 teenagers from kills here in germany were being shot a little a seriously only sign of sick or dying police custody and there's been a white right white supremacists right here in germany and have no care and so many others and so the end of the day is an instruction discrimination are here president and they are highlighting the after german. nation address not its national women season the next day so a lot of that is to be highlighted and it's important to know that history is a fight for that justice all right historian activist and writer at now but i'm

joining us here and thank you very much. well the situation in the u.s. is also being watched closely by the german government chancellor angela merkel's press spokesman said george floyd death was avoidable. towards george floyd's the death of george florida an african-american has shaken many people here in germany and around the world is also shaken the german government says this was a horrific and avoidable day and if he is deeply disturbing. video in the foyer we in the government are following closely what is happening in america we're watching it we've great concern because in germany we have a close connection with the u.s. we are connected by our common values principles and interests. now to some other stories making news around the world more than a dozen people have been killed by roadside bombs in afghanistan the 2 separate

incidents took place in the southern province of kandahar and the eastern province of areas are among the most volatile in the country cycling decided to has made landfall on india's western coast authorities in the mega city mumbai have close factories and offices and call for residents to stay indoors around 100000 people have been evacuated from flood prone areas it's the 1st powerful storm to hit the region in decades. facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg has defended his decision to not take action against a series of posts from u.s. president donald trump critics say the posts spread misinformation about voting by mail and encourage violence against demonstrators several facebook employees have resigned over the company's stance. and british prime minister boris johnson has a vow to offer millions of hong kong residents a path to u.k. citizenship as china imposes a new security law which would clamp down on human rights the territory was promised a high degree of autonomy and rights and

a 1997 handover treaty between britain and china. well hong kong has been rocked by anti-government protests since last june more than 8000 people have been arrested but hundreds of protestors have fled to evade prosecution the majority of them are found refuge in taiwan and with beijing pushing for a controversial national security law for hong kong it is likely that more protesters will take the same path did kong reports from taiwan dining at a home called style cup they used to be an every day event for tom not his ruling but now it's let's remember him and many other hope living in exile in taiwan is just all the immunity is to new those at his type a cafe that have become remedies to ease his homesickness. it reminds me of the days when we used to buy food from cafes like this one during the protests and we tryna shoot joining the march it's

a shame that i can't help anymore the only thing i can do is watch the news on my cell phone last year tom took part in many confrontational protest including storming the whole legislature and beseeching university campuses he regards himself as a problem i protested then fled to taiwan in december when police began to investigate. i fled because i don't believe that the judiciary will be holding fair trials for example one man who stopped peaceful protest as he was complimented by the judge for court showing noble qualities but we don't see similar comments for the 1st protester he was convicted of rioting just because he was throwing objects i don't trust the judges because they appear to be biased. his fear has been intensified by beijing's plan to end that a national security law for home car which has triggered global concern over the

city's remaining freedoms as many as 300 protesters like tom helped that whole call for taiwan over the past year despite a lack of asylum laws taiwanese off forty's have supported to protest they have pledged more measures to help settle people exclaiming from hong kong. this is the 1st class wrong in taiwan offering opportunities to hong kong protesters in mexico to help it could be a sustainable way of them to let their living and more similar projects such as school take all our shops i don't know why more protestors i don't but because. tom often plays basketball to keep busy today is joined by his friend and fellow protesters seaman seaman who also prefers not to give his real name left home call nearly a year ago he sets the chances of returning home getting slimmer day by day. once the national security law is imposed and isn't going to be any different from

mainland china i'm not just worried about my personal safety i'm also worried about my family in hong kong and i'm concerned that they might be intimidated i might even get up ducted by chinese agents but i don't plan to be next and forever i hope that i regain my strength one day and be able to take back my home and. both of them will start studying in taiwan later this year just like hong kong thomas seaman face an uncertain future but the least they are relatively safe for now. that report from phoebe kong and she is in hong kong she joins us for more in this story hi phoebe how welcome are hong kong or is like tom in taiwan. actually hong kong poll tested and even already citizens just like tom they are one way or

taiwan and how anything general they spread on think that the 200 protesters and other most well have been on like months of protests since last june and now we can see that are not only are there no citizens and also one are. supported by different political parties in taiwan are this fight this fight a fight that's how one is there a politically polarized but they have been hotels as on this issue that they are about to help taiwan and hong kong are protesters and 7 how is also they are now setting up a special task force to help this kind of. hong kong process those who want to play a r r hong kong taiwan and they're going to let some humanitarian believe it's the absence of our political asylum or so in general we see a baby see

a local woman support and to the hong kong protests. but as china has moved to crack down on hong kong particularly with this new national security legislation how worried is taiwan that beijing will start turn served more control there as well. that has been growing in science she later was china's rush to us taiwan it specially when china has been pushing for you know the case. to taiwan by force if necessary according to their words and so and based on the impressive 90 up between taiwan and china and they have been going concerns that how wonderfully the next target actually is hong kong has been cracked down by china so on behalf of taiwan some homeless are also considering to have 2 other countries in the rest of the. especially to the west and particularly the u.k. the former colonized so hong kong was before 97. was headed back to china so

i like the u.k. i mean so questions and has just like given her statement saying that you will not walk away from hong kong in china insist on imposing the new national security law that you will like extend the period of our. old house which is the british national. congress to allow them to stay in the u.k. . and that will be a pathway to citizenship so i can be and i don't order hong kong to move in the. right. porting for us there thank you so much german air carrier lufthansa has announced it will undergo a major read them as opposed to a net loss of 2100000000 euros in the 1st quarter the airline says the restructuring plans that from job cuts to asset sales are necessary in the face of

the coronavirus course as it comes after the board agreed to accept the terms on a 9000000000 euro bailout during the global travel lock down passenger numbers fell to one percent of previous levels. let's go right to frankfurt where our correspondent chelsea delaney is standing by for us hi shall see it sounds like a pretty big shakeup is underway at lufthansa what do we know about this revamp. well have tons of been saying for weeks really that they're going to have to shrink that they're going to emerge from this crisis as a smaller airline and this is really the 1st real detail that we're seeing what they've said so far is that they're going to have to cut jobs so they've they've said in the past that they have about 10000 jobs that they don't really need at this point what the c.e.o. said today is that it's probably they're probably going to need to cut more than $10000.00 jobs where those jobs are going to come from we don't know yet they've said that some of their subsidiaries that they're brussels have city area there as

trillion or the austrian subsidiary they're planning to cut about a 4th of their head cut or head count excuse me of but. where that those job cuts are going to come from. in germany for example is a little bit more contentious because they have the german share the german government as their largest shareholder now and they likely won't be able to just cut jobs left and right here because of the union presence so obviously a big job cuts coming but we don't exactly know the full details of that yet and just quickly the c.e.o. were also talked about the need to pay back a state aid quickly a will not be possible with this approach when times are really once thought to be possible they really were very against having government intervention and the structure of the company this dragged on for weeks they really say that having the government involved in their day to day operations would make it very difficult for them to be competitive the government has said that they're planning to stay out of

every day decisions and that has helped ease a little bit of concerns but they want to pay back this loan and buy back the shares as soon as possible and the government has said that they don't really plan on being involved they plan to sell the stake by 2023 our correspondent shells the villany reporting in frankfurt thank you. germany will lift travel warnings for $29.00 european countries starting june 15th foreign minister says that germany will continue to monitor infection rates especially in countries like the u.k. and he's emphasized that the step is not a return to business as usual. i know this decision will raise great hopes and expectations but there is something we need to bear in mind travel warnings are not travel bans and travel advisories are not invitations to travel again. that's also something we want to make clear in our advisories which may also include the urgent advice not to travel to countries like the u.k.

for instance while people arriving there still have to quarantine themselves for 14 days. we must also avoid creating a false sense of security the pandemic is still far from over and together we must avoid the revival of tourism leading to a 2nd wave in germany or anywhere else and. italy is reopening its borders to travelers from europe today and allowing residents to travel between regions again the country is hoping to revive its tourism industry after months of lockdown but hotel owners fear their guests will stay away despite measures designed to make them feel safe we report from a resort south of rome. the battle for the best spot on the beach has begun. bit out of the wants to be in the front row of his home beach but everything looks quite different this year with the coronavirus of course always how are things looking with the umbrellas and safe distance. by 3 meters 12 square

meters each so i can only fit half as many out there. conditions and to reflect those across italy like on this dream beach south of rome the same social distancing rules apply just as they do in off 5000 kilometers of beaches throughout the country fears that tourists just won't show up this summer are running high most of the people are only allowed to swim in the ocean no chatting no gathering you have to get right back to your son shares. but many in the hospitality industry are worried will foreign tourists really come to italy. large numbers come from germany or sweden but many europeans are fearful after italy was struck so fiercely by the pandemic. what kind of europe is this when neighboring countries say don't travel to italy it's not safe maybe we are the

safest country in the world now because we were the 1st nation after china to be hit hard by the virus and we have now almost completely defeated. interior cina there are signs that life is slowly returning to normal. the fisherman have only recently started to more in the harbor again most of the catch goes to restaurant owners like that out of the but as long as they were close scampi and crabs couldn't find the market. some tourists are back into the cina at least italian ones for them the desire for sun sand and sea is now spreading more powerful even. fear of the infection in gene of it out of these restaurants cooking is finally on their way again but only under strict hygiene rules in the restaurant the safety distance is measured exactly to the centimeter all guests must also register with name and address so that the entire chain of infection could be

traced if necessary. when this is all over the 1st thing we'll do is open a few bottles of champagne or politico and celebrate and hopefully have a laugh about this strange adventure we've been through together. gino it out of the says the spite everything he's sure the beauty of the mediterranean sea here into china will always draw to respect again. let's get more on the story with correspondents standing by in rome this is a big day for italy are reopening to european travelers is everything opening its doors to the big tourist spots of the pantheon pompei. well to give you an idea here in rome in the historic center the coliseum is open after about 3 months of closure you also have the vatican museums opening its doors once again although it's a very different experience i mean you're observing social distancing measures so it's a smaller group of people that will be allowed in each time it will be required to

wear a mosque there are also hand sanitizer gels available for that this test so really a different experience but definitely the doors open essentially timing it also with the fact that you've got dui as well as u.k. travelers being allowed to come into the country without that mandatory to be quarantined here replied hoping of course to encourage travelers into has to come in italy some in terms of its economy some 13 percent of the g.d.p. is based in tourism so it's a very key sector for the country and they're hoping that these travelers will come it's very much needed if you look at the center of rome right now it's still fairly quiet because that's where it gets crowded with tourists seem if i want to get on a plane to rome tomorrow what could a fact. well for instance 1st off if you're coming by plane in terms of the airports you can come to rome milan or naples you can also come by car but there

are some restrictions still in place so even though it's a nice opening its borders countries like austria switzerland they're planning to open by need june to certain countries but not to italy in fact in austria they believe that italy still very much a call that 900 plus on and in switzerland they're telling their citizens if you travel to italy when you come back that will be health security measures so likely quarantines as well so you may succeed where the people feel secure enough to come here and then have to return back home and cease to be quarantined. foreign minister myal is or should of these countries taking his measure because they say it's not fair that it is treated like a leper country and so he's trying to speak to his counterparts from there but we'll have to see how far people feel secure in themselves to be able to travel i think italia governments trying to stress that they're taking all the necessary safety measures to make sure it's safe to come visit what we did hear from some

members of the hospitality industry in our report i think they're worried that the 1st really are not going to come back because italy as you said was a covert 1000 hot spot do you think these worries are justified. well one has to look at the epidemiological situation and in terms of that the situation is whole day here in italy i mean if you look at the last 24 times the figures out there were 55 deaths in the past 24 hours and that's a significant drop to the peak of the pandemic with hundreds of deaths in the country on top of that the number of people in i.c.u. continues to drop every single day but you did see 318 new cases in the past 24 hours more than half of those cases it's important to stress always in that central hot spot and that is the northern region of law betty. the agents in the country that had no inspections whatsoever and 7 that have and 10 in terms of the number of the sections so it's

a lot but the situation may be overwhelming and you're also going to have traveled within repeats we reagents right now being allowed so really once again it's a question of what the government wants to stress that they doing everything in their power to make sure that people follow those social distancing measures away at the mosques when be quiet and have the temperature to take it before boarding the train all getting into a plane and on top of that if you're in a car and not with your family you have to. put appropriate distances between yourself the driver the front and the passenger perhaps at the back so really all those measures in place hoping to encourage those tourists this important tourist dollar euro to come into the country in order to help the struggling businesses and italians that have suffered as a result of the lockdown measures. up there reporting there in rome thank you. you're watching the news from berlin head over to our website good of you dot com for all the latest news and information around the clock and we'll be right here
