shing and zone countries live now to berlin and a correspondent covering that aspect of the story dominick dunne good afternoon so walk us through how germany is looking to ease the stays here. well the 1st thing from the interior ministry point of view is they want to loosen border restrictions as far as possible as quickly as possible but as safely as possible and it's the safety angle which is being the prime angle as far as they're concerned on wednesday of this week the interior minister himself horst c.e.o. of a very conservative key ally of angular machall these days say it was talking about which border restrictions could be eased 1st where they could be and that sort of thing and one of his comments alluded to this suggestion that as you were saying in the introduction that the schengen zone would allow that being in the shining zone would mean that quarantine 2 weeks of quarantine that every traveler from a country coming to germany has had to sign a form on arrival at an airport saying they would go to a nomination dressed stay that in that place for 2 weeks not go aren't aware

the coverage of corporate 19 year how they they hospitals and the doctors and victims of this and dominick don't you think that there is something today that it's not only the politicians but also the journalists who are approaching this damage who a paradigm of akong like. well i think that we do see metaphors of or being used a widely in terms of talking about the coronavirus so it's like a sort of scary invisible enemy that comes to attack us and we've got frontlines in the hospitals and care homes where the doctors and nurses are at the equivalent so so just so in some ways you can see a lot of parallels in terms of looking at the condemn it hasn't were so it's a metaphor that's not without its problems. but i guess is also they. may tend to pull made a point terms this idea that all the citizens of a country have to work together to defeat this invisible enemy and i think that's the kind of political underpinnings of don't buy states use that metaphor well you call it political i call it wartime propaganda because. just as you cannot see and appreciate the damage the full damage of th

message at the time he said stay at home and they're also laws against traveling to other cities but dominick coming says those laws will always for example anyway and it's hard to imagine that these special a bunch of the british prime minister would not be able to find child killer in london it's amazing so what's been the response on social media well this is brought out some fresh anger and a bit of ridicule he's being mocked especially since he went for a drive while believing he had poor eyesight which seems both dangerous and illegal and in fact this press conference is being walk into a car crash we can have a look at some of the tweets that have come out since that press conference a few hours ago there's anger amongst those who did have by the rules if you had not seen your grandparents while they were lonely crying and desperate not held the hands of loved ones while dying you should have used your instincts and. in the rules one critic tweeted doctors and nurses who risked their lives managed to sort out childcare while you needed to drive 260 miles to get your words now cummings

driving to his parents' house while burreson was under a strict lockdown there's been calls for dominick cummings to resign after he traveled 400 kilometers to isolate with his family no i don't i don't regrets what i did was as i said i think reasonable people may well disagree about how i. thought about what to do in in the in the in the circumstances but i think that i think what i did was actually reasonable in these. in these circumstances the rules make clear that if you're dealing with small children could be that can be exceptional circumstances and i think the situation that i was in. exceptional circumstances in breaking news from the world health organization it has suspended a clinical trial of the malaria drug hijacks a carquinez a covert 19 treatment of a safety concerns us president donald trump has said he was taking hydroxy car crane to ward off corona virus despite public health officials warning it may be unsafe it has not been proven and effective treatment. israel's prime minister says his government will seize what he's described as an historic opportunity to annex

well dominick cummings of course is the man that boris johnson brought in last summer to drive his. policy there was a purge of so-called moderates if you like in the conservative cabinet dominic cummings has already been proved himself a controversial figure someone who was actually held in contempt of parliament in the past but right now he's under fire of course for this trip that he made at least one trip boris johnson faced tough questions about why his chief advisor made this journey was it necessary did it break the government guidelines and also in fact what boris johnson knew and where when boris johnson didn't give anything away in fact right from the start he was as robust in his defensive dominant cummings i think as it was possible to be today i've had extensive face to face conversations with dominic cummings and i concluded that in traveling to find the right kind of childcare at the moment when both he and his wife were about to be incapacitated by coronavirus and when he had no return it i think he followed the instincts of every father and every parent and i do a l

new friends and sitting in class she'll be taking classes online from her brentwood home just like dominick net starts at san francisco state university in a few months and was looking forward to all the city has to offer its like it's a brand new experience is a brand-new every being sought for my first time it's a little disappointing not only to experience entirety most classes across the california state university system will continue to be held online through the fall coronavirus forcing the system's 23 schools to go virtual to prevent people from getting sick some students will still go on campus for courses that require hands-on learning i think such a hard. >>thing because you know that you need to do it for your safety, but again this has been something that so many of us have been looking forward to 4. >>years now. >>some students are still waiting to hear if they'll be heading to college or staying home not every university has made a final decision is those like you're kind of limbo ers as it feels like and do something wrong in the east bay, michelle kingston kron 4 news. >>an

that's what the foreign secretary dominick robb said this week when he warned there won't be a return to business as usual, there will be a new normal that uk citizens will have to get used to. and officials have tried to dampen down this excitement that somehow monday will be like a freedom day where all of these measures will completely fall off. and that's because social distancing will remain at the core of the strategy to battle this outbreak. even when all of these restrictions start falling off, social distancing will remain in placement and that also means that certain things won't be able to operate as usual, such as public transport. we've heard from the transport secretary on saturday that even with the full capacity of the network, it will only be able to accommodate about a tenth of passengers so that it can comply with the rule that there needs to be about two meters between two people. and of course with those people who have hope that the prime minister's announcement means they can finally go for that drink or a meal in a restaurant, they will be bitterly disappointed

california the parks are beginning to reopen and you are allowed to sit sunday as long as six pete dominickt apart but you are not allowed to stand 775 feet apart and play tennis. the new york prosecutors will not prosecuted people with social distancing violation which means das are joining police unions protesting what they call mayor bill de blasio punitive reproach t to a public health crisis, tucker. >> tucker: it is amazing trace gallagher thank you for that. so that is what some lockdowns look like around the country. sometimes the rules seem arbitrary and some seem corrupt but others seem designed to hurt people. they seemed cool. a lot of them don't in any way but even coherent lockdown policies, you have to ask the question, is it worth it? new coronavirus cases and deaths from coronavirus trending downward for more than a month. the hospitals are not overwhelmed outside of new york, they never were. the places that have reopen and those that never shut down like sweden show no signs of collapse. what is our basis than for keeping children out of schools, parents out of work, and

benchmark for impartiality and establishing trust between the press and the public but arguably like dominick cummings those who make the rules should consider following the. partridge party london. and that's all for this our colleagues at all to america will take over at the top for all of us here in westminster thanks for watching and goodbye. seemed wrong. bullets just don't. get to shape. to stay active. and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. 54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to heal some air force base in alaska where is that to say come on i'll show you what's the reason for any type of enhanced u.s. military presence in this area rush up. what is it suddenly about the south china sea that makes it so.

the thinking is now the dominick characteristic of the various racial ethnic and sexual groups in any institution is by definition a result of discrimination. to suggest the different groups of different capacities, cultures, skills and behaviors that explained the lack of representation is not just taboo, but it will get you fir fired. >> that was offered heather mcdonald from 2018. next as we continu continued top books about race in america journalism professor pamela and her presentation she examines whether diversity programs are working in the areas of entertainment, academia and corporate america. >> what i am not optimistic about his white america's ability to see past the fiction african-american and the centuries-old demeaning images of people and how that has to do with a lack of diversity. what's on the walls, what is in the literature. we are in a toxic culture where people of color are concerned and so in a lot of ways it's like putting lipstick on a pig. it's like you're tryin you are o address something that without addressing the cancer of the culture. as you said, it

numbers of people who've had enough of the restrictions and they want them relaxed completely now dominick and there for us in balance thanks very much donna all government ministers and lebanon meeting to discuss how to stop the spread there the health ministry has said a 40 years out complete shutdown may be the only option to prevent a 2nd wave of infections and talks are expected on wednesday after the government appealed to the international monetary fund for help the financial crisis and sharp fall in the value of the pound has provoked months of protests seen as the biggest threat to stability since the civil war then hada has all the latest from beirut. the rate of infections was described as manageable not alarming that a slowly changing the government to ease the restrictions 2 weeks ago the country slowly reopening as you can see behind me traffic people are out and about this may change the health minister is warning that the situation is dangerous on sunday there was a record number of cases detected in the 24 hour period 36 cases now that may seem like a very small number whe

today well why are you picking on me what about dominick cummins i'm afraid the credibility of the legislation is now shot through what you just said was of course demonstrated over the bank holiday wasn't it we had packed beaches beachgoers even saying well cummings has given the reason to break the rules so what you're saying the police authority has really been undermined now. ok lately i mean basically this is ours are set free be asleep this is very difficult let's schley ship so the police service so were it was rushed through as of sept previously in about a week within parliament there was no stage for the what ifs it's legislation that does have a major impact on everybody's all our lives. and it's been very very difficult period traveling body mamal the prime minister has announced he will be opening all nonessential shops for mid june as part of the next phase in easing the country out of lockdown it is our intention to allow our outdoor markets to reopen from june the 1st subject to all premises being made coated secure as well as car show rooms which often had significant outdoor

and even from within his own party for defending his top advisor they have been growing calls for dominick cummings to quit or to be sacked that's after it emerged he drove 400 kilometers to his parents' house when britain was under a strict lockdown and whilst showing symptoms of the coronavirus our correspondent needs parker joins us live from the house of commons there in central london so needs an awful lot of anger and it's kind of getting outside the westminster bubble as well. of course this is goes way beyond the westminster bubble this isn't simply the story about war this is about trust and faith in government to government that laid down rules and regulations that required people to be disciplined required self-sacrifice of people and our people are questioning well look what was it all for given that perhaps senior officials close to the prime minister close to the government as a whole may have been bending the rules to their own advantage in london today it's almost as if summer has come early and with it the inclination to perhaps bend rules and regulations some social dista

people in this country as prime minister he said this number of the allegations that i made about dominick rings were false you were within 6 hours east see the evidence to prove. make i you know i don't want to get to know mr is a simple question you have your answer did you see the evidence i don't want to go into much more either i've said is it or requestion did you see the evidence i will if you please i would say yes i did the reason you're not giving people a straight answer is because you are trying to protect the mic coming to the east central i'm going to melt just a fudgy things unclear i think just because you are trying not to incriminate dominic cummings i think my choices are the choice of the british people i want us all to make it at and that is a as far as we possibly can to live outside the party political point scoring and to put the national interest 1st. so the key sentiment and question really is whether this public anger will transcend into a public readed readiness to flout these lockdown measures of course many among the public will really be questioning if domini

durham i have no idea this is speculation at the moment but of course and to hear speculation though dominick coming to the senate there is absolutely one thing i did do right and that is and there is a loophole allowing him to take his action when children are involved as is that being ignored. well i think the problem larry's that a lot of people who. have got children in this country no major men to sacrifice this because of them and that. to look after them and mr cummings seems not you know seems to felt that the rules didn't apply to him by i don't personally think i know this is the lie being put forward by the cabinet and i have to say that. if i was mad cop the health secretary i hope he is asked about this today i mean mr cummings is due clearly that he can use his own discretion about how he interprets government rules is quite likely to undermine the public advice now if i was hank koch as health secretary i would be absolutely furious that government advice has been undermined by mr cummings is sent not only to make it his own interpretation of the rules but they're not to . do t

minister boris johnson is facing condemnation for defending his top advisor their own growing calls for dominick cummings to quit after he was accused of breaking the law and he is due to make a statement in the next hour we'll carry it live for you here on out is it. germany's top court today ruling v.w. volkswagen must partially pay back car owners affected by its emissions cheating scandal more than 11000000 vehicles worldwide it's affected let's take a look at what precisely happened here well way back in 2040 u.s. researchers discovered that v.w. was using software to cheat on its emissions tests its diesel engines were missing up to 40 times higher than the legal limit one year later the german company admitted to the scheme its c.e.o. stepped down and shares dropped by nearly half in 2 days tens of thousands of drivers have sued volkswagen one case has reached germany's highest court but it could have implications for others the scandal has already cost the company more than $33000000000.00 and just last week its 2 top executives paid $10000000.00 to avoid criminal charges ferdinand do it

the 16 they cut instances sensed in the 1500 a rising power and dominick our abilities draco went into contact conflict and only for those cases was peace and she there was a hot war and in the other 12 cases were just bad however the last 2 cases the soviet union vs us they hadn't yet nuclear weapons and then and with the british and the us which was a successful transition from the rising to the to the dominant power you had a deep trade relationship and you had a big ocean well with china we have all 3 of those they have nuclear weapons we have nuclear weapons we have a big interconnected economically and we have an even bigger so you know if you're a realist there's some hope that this might be worked out of course the us behavior as it has been pointed out is not in that direction but as the us china rises and the us hopefully will realize that. you know there's room to let china have a sphere in clusters run don't russia have us. and i think when the us does that maybe we'll have you know the big powers which completes the region of the world of course we have been influenced and

today well why are you picking on me what about dominick cummins i'm afraid the credibility of the legislation is now shot through what you just said was of course demonstrated over the bank holiday wasn't it we had packed beaches beachgoers even saying well cummings has given the reason to break the rules so what you're saying the police authority has really been undermined now. ok louis i mean basically this is as i've said previously this is very difficult legislation for the police service to work it was rushed through hours of sept previously in about a week when parliament was known stage for the water eps it's at legislation that goes out a major impact on everybody's all our lives and it's been very very difficult period for everybody and as of said just previously the most powerful tool of police service of gas is the cooperation of the public and by and large that have that but i'm afraid that has been it has been somewhat of a tacit cooperation on a suspect from the actions of what we've witnessed unfortunately which comes to light in the press that both a few days that will be stil

and even from within his own party for defending his top advisor there's been growing calls for dominick cummings to quit or be sacked that's after it emerged he drove 400 kilometers to his parents' house when britain was under a strict lockdown and while he was showing symptoms of covert 19 cummings is expected to speak publicly about the political storm shortly and we will carry that events live right here on al-jazeera. the coming scandal is just the latest slip up for the u.k. government prime minister abbas johnson has come under particular scrutiny initially his team had implied the u.k. would adopt a strategy of herd immunity that's letting the virus run its course to build up resistance within the community. the plan was quickly abandoned lock down restrictions were still rolled out weeks after medical experts advise them to do so this led to critics blaming johnson for the number of deaths in the u.k. at the height of the pandemic more than a 1000 people were dying every day in april overall nearly 37000 lives have been lost and the public's frustrations have only been made wors
