With record low oil prices and the coronavirus pandemic. So then coffee with friends a shopping trip or a visit to family are all back on the agenda for millions more people as coronavirus restrictions are lifted and some of the hardest hit countries france has been locked down for 8 weeks now people can return to shops hairdressers and even take public transport after its lowest number of deaths in 7 weeks spain is opening outdoor cafes churches and mosques turkey its Shopping Centers and schools in the netherlands and india is restarting part of its train system despite a jump in fractions the rail network which is relied on by tens of millions of people every day has been shut down since late march and in China Shanghai is disneyland has reopened cinemagoers and other recreational venues will follow over the. Few weeks lets begin in paris where its just gone with the end of the is there for us and 2 months on from the start of all this there is some easing of restrictions house on going down. Yes after 2 months of a very Strict Lockdown here in france the french government has begun lifting some restrictions and what that means is that people can now go outside for example without a permit they can leave their homes and for more than one kilometer radius before that was the limit that they had so they are free to walk or exercise outside a little bit further shops and businesses can also reopen so what weve seen is quite a few people going back to work today and that means of Public Transport Services have also been increased but now mosques are tree on public transport and people traveling in rush hours have to have permits to prove that they are going to work because what the government wants to do is make sure that people arent suddenly going to be tempted to travel around the city to perhaps see friends and socialize rather than continue to really stick to only travel for essential reasons so that primarily being for work because the government is very concerned. If it is hard its hard to try and balance reviving the economy giving people some sort of normal social life back with trying to stop a 2nd wave of infections and that is why the French Health minister was speaking just earlier today and has been a message weve heard all along and that is unless people remain vigilant and continue to abate the rules the social distancing measures then a 2nd knock down could be on the table. To the use of the locals if the virus begins increasing rapidly again with no control and risks for the health of the french people who would be forced to impose confinement measures again either in certain territories or differentiated as we did initially or even more widely if the population were in danger. Or many restrictions to remain in place however the shops cafes restaurants bars and cafes still remain closed cultural venues sporting venues they are closed and schools well children were supposed to be going back over the next few weeks but in fact the so to special hygiene and social distancing measures havent been able to put in place in many of those schools and teachers and educational unions dont feel comfortable about reopening so were probably not going to see many schools open for quite a while yet so many restrictions still in place a lot of people also still anxious about the idea of going back outside or going back to work so they are remaining at home working from home for as long as possible choosing not to put their children back in schools when those schools to reopen there is still a lot of anxiety people know that the Coronavirus Crisis is far from over natasha thanks very much later. From paris. And lets go to martha who joins us now live from the spanish capital amman to give us an idea whats happening there. Well we are right now at a Mens Clothing shop in Madrid City Center and we have the owner of year setting everything up getting everything ready and although to open to reopen after 58 days of Strict Lockdown he showed up he has he has a nice initiated all the protocols like a serialising all the garments he has used the oso machine he has that some gloves for the customers once they get in sunny skies or jail and the mask he will be able only to open up the stud just. 30 percent of his capacity we know that spain today has moved on many regions in spain around a 50 percent of regions in spain have already moved on to face one so we will see all these small shops of less than 400 square meters reopening to the public will see bars and restaurants that have a terrace not inside only the terraces will be able to open at a 50 percent of the capacity leaving it to me to space between tables and a maximum of 10 people at the same table churches and mosques will also be able to open up one 3rd of their capacity and hotels will be able to open to the public but avoiding the common areas this is a big issue for all these businesses that are are balancing whether its worth economic economically to open with these little small capacity and bringing all the staff back again so many people are questioning whether to do it or not but the most important thing is that all these people in spain will be able for the 1st time after 8 weeks of a Strict Lockdown to meet all of the love bill of people all the relatives or friends up to groups of 10 people so this are good news after a day of registering the lowest number of bets on infections in spain since the coronaVirus Outbreak or amounted to this is because it was you know a couple just enjoying enjoying a new me in a long time and looked and i bet it tastes good most of thank you very much indeed for the. Well in india trains well holden 6 weeks ago as part of the effort to stop the spread of the barbs but some services restart on tuesday this with has the latest now from new delhi. The government has announced that from tuesday 15 trains will start traveling from the capital new delhi to major cities around the country including to mumbai chennai to win on the poor. And more and to give you some context Indian Railways is one of the biggest Rail Networks in the world and it carries around 20000000 passengers every day so you can imagine the number of people who work or study in different states the numbers who were stranded when india cancelled trains from the government cancelled all trains. In late march 10 days ago it starts trains to carry some of the millions of Migrant Workers who were stranded and 500000 have been taken to their home states in the last 10 days from tuesday everyone will be allowed to get on these 15 trains as long as they have tickets and tickets are going to be sold only online in about 15 minutes from now no ticketing booth at any train stations will be allowed to open people will have to be screened they will only sell the right number of tickets to ensure social distancing everyone has to wear a mask so trains gradually restarting. As the country prepares to end the lock down the sunday its due to end on sunday and Indian Railways is expected to announce more trains in the coming days to try to know which is reported 17 new infections the most significant increase and. This is all return among shanghai students which are welcome but for the 1st time in 3 months through you. In the u. S. Its known as the happiest place on. Now disneyland has broken crowds back to its gate in china for the 1st time in months the government here says the corona Virus Outbreak is now under control and the shanghai theme. Is the 1st in the chain to reopen since the beginning of the Health Crisis right now here in china and shanghai. Conditions are such that we feel with the right measures in place. That we are. Here this is a numbers are kept at 20000. 00 roughly 30 percent of the capacity temperature screenings and social distancing measures also in place that means no selfies with mickey and minnie mouse for now but fears of a 2nd wave of infections did nothing to deter crowds tickets sold out in minutes. I feel happy i finally have a place to take my child. Analysts say the points depend up consumer demand but dont expect the chinese economy to bounce back anytime soon i think the overall outlook is going to remain very uncertain and subdued as long as we do not have a treatment or a vaccine for the coronavirus still authorities here are hailing the reopening as a milestone in chinas coronavirus recovery it comes as beijing walked in a serious war of words with washington over its handling of the outbreak many believe the true countries have entered a new cold war the Trump White House says it has evidence carved 19 released from a chinese lab Chinas Foreign Ministry says u. S. Leaders are using what it calls dirty tricks to mislead the world about china. Do they really have such little balls standards and conscience that they can nothing at all for their own political interests not even when human lives at stake but the tensions often the minds of enjoying bad day at disneyland in shanghai the theme park fantasy a welcome respite from the reality of the pandemic and the political fallout left in its wake. Aljazeera. Authorities in malaysia have begun arresting undocumented migrants in a targeted operation on monday just outside the capital colombo released by local media showed crowds of migrants lining up after the arrival of a large group of Police Officers the malaysian government has already carried out similar operations and what it says is an effort to help contain the spread of the virus for his living is in kuala lumpur and she explains why certain areas are being targeted. This is very similar to a rape that was carried out at apartment blocks in kuala lumpur on the 1st of may now these raids on monday morning are carried are in an area that is under lockdown which means residents in those areas are not allowed to leave their homes whether for food or medicine things are delivered to them and this is to prevent or contain the spread of the corona virus these are areas where clusters of the virus have been reported now everyone in those areas would have been tested for the corona virus and the government has said that it intends to detain undocumented migrants in areas and lock down and this appears to be what the government is doing in carrying out these raids on monday morning and the undocumented migrants who were detained in the raid on the 1st of may were sent to an Immigration Detention Center and its very likely that the same is going to happen to the ones who are detained in the operation on monday morning however thats several issues of that and one is that there is a possibility that refugees who are not yet registered with the u. N. Refugee agency in malaysia or Asylum Seekers who may have their registration expired may inadvertently have been detained as well and the other issue is these rates could be counterproductive yes the government is detaining undocumented migrants in areas for lock down but what about undocumented migrants in areas that are not under lockdown then these people will be more reluctant to seek treatment or to come forward to be tested even if they are exhibiting symptoms and this could be a potential health issue for malaysia in trying to prevent the spread of the corona virus.

The u. K. Prime minister is jude to lay out the 1st step to easing long term measures to Parliament Later on monday on sunday 90 outlined a new virus alert system during an address to the nation johnson said people will be allowed to spend more Time Outdoors but with the highest death toll in europe his latest plan is already facing criticism as paul brennan. The sight of people basking in sunny parks and strolling along the river thames this weekend offered just a snapshot of the wider reality that 7 weeks after they were introduced the u. K. s stay at home restrictions have stopped being strictly observed or strictly enforced now there is a new Public Health slogan stay at home ditched in favor of the new mantra stay alert theres also a 5 level alert system that will govern how quickly the lockdown can be eased the Prime Ministers priority is to find ways of getting people back to work the 1st step is a change of emphasis that we hope that people will act on this week. We said that you should work from home if you can only go to work if you must we now need to stress that anyone who cant work from home for instance those in construction or manufacturing should be actively encouraged to go to work many elements of the prime Ministers National address had been widely previewed in recent days for example from weapons day the idea that people will be no longer restricted to just one hour of outdoor exercise per day and in fact people will be allowed to lounge in parks if they want to so long as they observe social distancing but any further freedoms will depend highly on the critical our number keeping the rate of infection below one throughout this period of the next 2 months we will be driven not by mere hope economic necessity going to be driven by the science the data and Public Health. The stay alert message has attracted criticism for being too ambiguous and open to interpretation but the police will find it unenforceable and the public might find it confusing it doesnt really mean anything theres no instruction in the same way as the last message. And i think you saw in the Prime Ministers speech just now how the government has had to come back from some of the things they were thinking of doing earlier in the week because theyre just im sure about how to get this right im like weve already seen today in the United Kingdom there is going to be a lot of uncertainty and theres a lack of clarity about what it sees the government want people to do they should really have just found different wording to try to navigate these next 2 or 3 weeks to make things even more confusing since coronavirus restrictions are id volved matter with scotland wales and Northern Ireland setting their own policies those 3 nations are firmly rejected the Prime Ministers new slogan clarity of message is paramount if we expect all of you to know exactly what it is we are asking of you and as leaders we have a duty to deliver that clarity to those we had accountable to not to confuse it to that end i have asked the u. K. Government not to deploy the state a lay at Advertising Campaign in scotland because the message in scotland at this stage is nort stay at home if you can the message is except for the essential reasons you nor boat stay at home fill stop from the outset it was realised that lifting the lockdown was always going to be far more difficult than imposing it in the 1st place the Prime Ministers heavily conditional sketch of a road map makes it abundantly clear just how complex its going to be paul brennan aljazeera westminster.
