From today if you like to drink you can go out and get a pint in a pub hes going to have you can go to their head dresses and getting cards its a big experiment though and the government knows that. This is the biggest step yet certainly when it comes to peoples leisure time and how they spend it in getting the country back moving again but its riding that very delicate balance isnt it between the wrists fear inflaming the infections and also trying to save a crippled economy and says chris witty the chief medical officer said that he wants people to be very disciplined extremely disciplined about social distancing when theyre out in pubs and restaurants sick etc later but lets be frank some discipline and cull coal consumption are not natural bedfellows so there could yet be infection outbreaks down the line the governments hoping that those who could be managed though by local lock downs not returning to another National Lock down but its not easy easy for businesses and we can talk now to ross curtain who is the head of u. K. Leisure agency colleagues international. Ross when Boris Johnson called a lot and he said that he was taking away british persons ancient inalienable right to go to the pub and buy a drink thats come back again along with other inalienable rights but this is still a weird world isnt it for businesses he said i think theres a lot of work being done behind the scenes to make these venues covert safe both in the consumer facing parts of the spacing of tables and chairs but also behind the scenes in the kitchens where stuff needs work and i think were going to say perhaps some reduced menus to begin with but i think the measures which weve put in place have been very well prepared and i know but a lot of afraid to stay open today or this is.

Following this story from a european Broadcast Center that didnt bring us up to date on this one the fact that its a localized situation and the numbers involved. Thats right kamal is very localized that the area that youre talking about home to 200000 people roughly around a town called later in catalonia in northeastern spain now the Health Authorities there on friday said they wouldnt be imposing a lockdown but they did set up a makeshift Field Hospital just in case it would need it now that has been imposed which means that as of saturday afternoon people cant enter or leave the entire area around late and thats after on friday Health Officials said there had been a doubling almost of cases in one week from 167 cases of covered 192325 now some of those cases have been linked to fruit picking operations in this area which is a rural area but others have been linked to care homes and in fact 2 care homes near the regional capital of barcelona have now been closed for the time being this is against the background of spain opening up for tourism over the summer on june the 21st the country allowed in people from the Schengen Area the free travel area as well as from britain on friday britain issued its own list of socalled safe countries spain was one of the notable ones on it because there are there is a large number of british tourists expected in the coming weeks and months vital to many areas of spain in terms of tourism now this area in particular is not a place that many people from outside spain visit but this is this is the background that the or thirtys in madrid will be very aware of that in baba keeping across developments in spain today thank you nadine. It is the 4th of july that means Independence Day in the United States but on a day thats typically marked by displays of National Unity the country does seem more divided than ever july 4th is when americans celebrate their independence from colonial britain so large gatherings parades fireworks displays this is standard over the Holiday Weekend this year however many have been canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic on friday the u. S. Recorded more than 52000 new infections in a week which saw record numbers of new cases every day but that hasnt stopped people from venturing out of that includes the president this was an address he was holding at mt rushmore flouting the social distancing recommendation theres a crowd of 7000. 00 there but there is not a lot of social distancing going on roslyn jordan has more on that event. Donald trump kicked off the long Independence Day weekend with a trip to mt rushmore but instead of making a claim for National Unity at a monument honoring for us President Trump attacked protesters who want to take down monuments honoring slave traders and confederate general so. Angry mobs are trying to tear down statues of our founders defaced our most sacred memorials and unleash a wave of Violent Crime in our cities many of these people have no idea why theyre doing this but some know exactly what they are doing. They think the American People are weak and soft and submissive. But know the American People are strong and prout trumps tone was angry he accused antiracism protesters of engaging in quote far left fascism and he vowed to not just prosecute statue talk lawyers but to also build a new monument on during the people he called true american heroes they want to silence says. But we will not be silenced. Except for a reference to Health Care Workers at the start of his speech trump said nothing about the covert 1000. 00 pandemic hes already been criticized for bringing together in a tight space 7500. 00 spectators with no physical distancing or required face mask keeps public Health Officials say the event could accelerate the spread of covert 19 states such as florida texas arizona and california are recording thousands of new cases each day and the National Death toll its near 130008 Top Administration official is urging people to be extra careful stay fixed feet from others when we can and when we can stay 6 feet from others please im begging you where a Face Covering some florida resident piled into a public hearing to say the government had no right to tell them what to do no matter what you want to believe this is a very political issue it is patriots versus communists i dont care how you feel i will not be wearing a mask i will not go to jail and i wont pay a 500. 00 fine thats against the law for you and even threaten us with that since when do i not get to either my body. Back at Mount Rushmore a small group of native americans tried and failed to keep the event from Going Forward and the fireworks donald trump wanted lit up the sky a rush of explosions mimicking the tense climate in the u. S. On its birthday rosalyn jordan aljazeera alexandria virginia. Scholar because the cofounder of america unfiltered professor of Political Science and International Studies at the university of birmingham he told us trump is deliberately using the countrys division as a campaign technique. Certainly a donald trump statement in front of mt rushmore south dakota there was almost no mention of coronavirus as the death toll is likely to pass 130000 today and as the virus is not decreasing but is actually surging rising in 42 of 50 states there was no mention of the issues that have been raised by the antiracism the black lives matter marches instead what trump tried to do is to stigmatize those marches justice equality about relations with the police as big leftist fascism and certainly there was nothing there about bringing america together at this very critical time instead hes gone back to his 2016 tactics which is his base versus americas enemies gambling that he can get a 2nd term by this very aggressive and some might say even hateful politics donald trump does not know. Conciliatory he certainly doesnt know im sorry donald trump only knows one way forward and thats being aggressive and secondly in 2016 there was very little attention to issues it was really all about spectacle and that spectacle helped trump win the Electoral College if not the popular vote so his advisors had a critical decision amidst the pandemic and the black last night of march is back at the end of may they could either have a speech of unity or trump could continue to say weve got extremist weve got enemies weve got radicals who are trying to tear us down.
