a video showing the struggles of. his life. in the bundesliga. record push. royal blues hold high flying leverkusen to a draw. 13 straight league matches with. well i'm terry martin good to have you with us across europe borders are reopening today as more and more countries ease measures imposed to control the spread of the coronavirus ahead of the midnight opening people gathered along the border between france and germany to celebrate their risk reward freedom of movement the frontier was one of many closed 3 months ago but not all of europe's internal border. our

reopening today and the continent still remains largely closed to visitors from outside the e.u. . but let's cross straight over to our correspondent ben to make it he's standing in straws book at the german french border band this is a moment many people have been waiting a long time for isn't it. yet it was a very joyful moment and people are very relieved that these restrictions. that ben place for the 3 months business was restricted and also personal ties back out and especially for young people it was also in the motion of thing because they never experience actually bought a check. on the actual border between france and germany because the schengen freeboard it was invented 25 years ago so for them it's a relief and also older people told me that they are now relieved that this backbone of the european integration the river behind me is no longer something

that divides and but that unites them again and so the shang to travel the area is now wrist reinstated in $33.00 of the countries only a few exceptions and now people are looking forward to travel again ok bad europeans are clearly happy to be getting their freedom of movement back but all the concerns that open borders could bring another surge in corona virus infections . well actually that the current infections level as yet in germany and also in france are quite low and people are not so much varied i gather 62 percent of them as a new survey showed of willing and eager to travel in the schengen zone during the summer months of course because some sanitarium restrictions but anyway they want to travel and to see europe again and they also appear that there must be a regional approach you cannot lock down entire countries but you have to see how

the infection rates are going and better than the actual hotspots of the infections are and all the people i spoke to say yukon taken a chang and again from us ben thank you so much from the german french border that was bent week out. well what you state that is not reopened it's not reopening its borders yet is spain but the government now says travel restrictions for most. area tourists will be lifted on june 21st 10 days earlier than planned before the pandemic spain was one of the world's most visited destinations and it's island of my yorker is gearing up for another influx of tourists. up to now may your concert had the beaches for themselves but the tourists are returning although much of the island is still closed the beaches are open. this is an important phase it's

a nudge towards economic recovery and it means a return to normality for tourists sector. but for many hotel years normality remains a distant dream within a week the rio chain has reopened 2 of its hotels for the new guests that's meant renovations cleaning and ensuring that coronavirus regulations can be met the distance requirements in the dining room and at the swimming pool mean the hotel can only take half the usual number of guests. commonwealth you are the future of motoring we're not earning anything so there's no financial incentive but it's still worth opening because we're able to show customers that they can return to me york or they can book a trip here again. sort of i don't know. local restaurants won't benefit much from the 1st holidaymakers most people will dine in their hotel the head of new yorkers restaurant association says many in the sector will lose their jobs. many

restaurants here remain closed. we estimate that tommy york or alone around 224-0000 jobs will be lost even if we only earn 40 or 50 percent of what we did last year we'll still be very pleased. that we're going to be a success. people are all too aware of the importance of tourism it makes up around a 3rd of the economy but they're also not willing to take any risks they don't know whether or not they're on the downside i mean the board is it's too quick they should have waited it out. we need to be very careful. and that means taking the temperatures of those arriving at the airport and again at the hotels anyone who shows and the symptoms will be moved to a special quarantine area. to the philippines now where high profile journalist maria teresa has been found guilty of cyber libel the verdict is being seen as

a major blow to press freedom their research co-founded the website rappler and was charged over a 2012 article linked to a businessman to murder human trafficking and drug dealing media watchdog said the case was filed in retaliation for the site's often critical reporting a president wrote to 10 to 56 year old race and now faces up to 6 years in jail. on it's get more now from our correspondent on a sun toss in manila she's also a contributor to rap or i should point out you were in court earlier when the verdict was read describe the scene for us. there was much anxiety this morning as we waited for the verdict some people were expecting actually of a guilty verdict to be announced despite how ridiculous and politically motivated

these charges against maria are ridiculous because the charge of cyber libel was made for an article that was published before the law was passed so the law was implemented retrial active and politically motivated because it was no less than the president who said in his state of the nation address that he would go there rafter because he won the coverage of raptor of the drug war at stake moves so since then the attacks of graft i'm rapper has not stopped maria summed it up quite well when she said that it was a devastating decision but it was not completely unexpected she likened this dark to the days of martial law under the former dictator ferdinand marcos and i think she was right in doing so. in your opinion what does this verdict mean for press freedom in the philippines. far reaching implications on

press freedom and freedom of speech and expression in the philippines so there have been a number of attacks on the media outlets the largest t.v. broadcast station and has been shut down the largest national daily the philippine daily inquirer has also been threatened with closure now all of these the media institutions covered the drug war exposed the brutality of it and the extra judicial killings at the hands of police so that's why it is not the government was in very happy with these media outlets and want them to shut down now this cyber libel sentence are guilty sentence and media also sets a dangerous perceived dent this is cyber libel so anyone who posts a critical of view or opinion on their social media pages like facebook could be deemed neighborhoods we've already seen this happening like in the case of maria victoria beltran she posted a sarcastic comment about the government on facebook and with the tape a miss

a trend was named the d w freedom of speech awardee so this just signals today for us that no one is safe from expressing their critical views of the government just briefly and if maria goes to jail what do you think the impact will be all. yourself. there are 7 other cases that maria is facing this is just one that we saw today and if found guilty for all of those other charges she could face up to 100 years in prison so it's really quite heavy in terms of the impact of press freedom but maria because of her stature enjoys a lot of support from the international community now not all journalists enjoy this kind of support and that means that it's going to be a lot harder for margin and they are so i'm sorry smaller media outlets in remote areas to to critically cover the government and abuses in their area now on

a personal go and i do know maria and you know i saw her today she was she came a little emotional when she made a plea to everyone to say that you know we're being used as a cautionary tale to make you afraid and you shouldn't be afraid and ok i just went on to say that you know we got to buckle up and do the work that's exactly the way the person really is and i thank you so much that was journalist and a son tossed in little and in the next program we'll be talking to maria teresa herself about the verdict that's in just under 60 minutes here on d.w. news. and let's catch up on some other stories making headlines this hour kim jong il the sister of north korea's leader kim jong un has threatened military action against south korea it is the latest escalation of tensions over defectors from the north who've been sending propaganda leaflets across the border. bollywood star shot singh rajput has been found dead at his home in mumbai and he's believed to
