A crackdown by police and federal officers in Portland Oregon. Anger from women and poland as the government expands its conservative social agenda. On the painstaking process of restoring the acropolis in athens as the greek government renews its called for britain to return its ancient freshets. While we begin with the corona virus pandemic which is spreading further and faster every day it took the world 2 weeks to get from 1000000 to 2000000 cases now its taken just 4 days to make the leap from 15 to 16000000 thats according to the u. S. Based Johns Hopkins university it shows the United States brazil and india are leading the surge in new cases take a look at the scratch that shows the number of new cases added daily the curve is clearly rising with more than a quarter of a 1000000 new infections every day globally almost 650000 people are now known to have died. Well now the British Government has reimposed 2 weeks of self quarantine on people returning from spain following a coronavirus outbreak that has had. An unexpected change of plans hours before boarding a flight from spain back to the u. K. These tourists have learned theyll have to quarantine for 14 days on arrival the country was taken off britain say travel list on saturday and the measure took effect at midnight we had a wedding to go to and we help plans to visit friends and family that we havent seen in about a long time and not looking up to cancel all those plans so its really quite upset to the sudden reversal falls or surge of covert 19 infections in spain we cry for straight by to be honest because it fails she feels safer in spain what it did bring me to the u. K. Before we left the u. K. It wasnt monday its rough ice mass in a lot of places. But nearly everybody is wearing them so. Many of the new infections in spain are among young people showing mild or no symptoms lockdowns were imposed in some areas and barcelona bar said curfews and many nightclubs closed the Tourism Industry in spain accounts for about 12 percent of the countrys economy and its again her pairing for a downturn more than 20 percent of its foreign visitors last year were british and now france is recommending people avoid traveling there. So far weve had no cancellations but this may create doubts for people over the coming weeks i hope there are fewer cases but a lot of work has to be done. This sudden reimposition of restrictions is a reminder to many that even though some walk down measures here recently relaxed the pandemic appears to be far from over. And. Well our correspondent joins us live now from London Gatwick airport nadeem what all the british and Spanish Government saying at this stage. Well the Spanish Government the Foreign Ministry put out a statement saying that they respect britains decision but in the last 24 hours or thirtys in spain have been stressing that they think their country means a safe place and that they are on top of what they call localized outbreaks now the British Government has been on the defensive in the last couple of hours because people have been questioning why it was brought in this reimposition of coron team with such short notice and theres also an argument about the infection rates some of the Spanish Press have been arguing that this is unfair because although. On friday the number of new covered cases in spain was around 100 its still in the hundreds here in the u. K. And by some estimates its far higher possibly higher than in spain will britains foreign secretary dominic rob has been on television in the last couple of hours stressing that they got the information on friday but they only assessed it on saturday and that they had to act quickly in order to avoid the possibility of what he called a 2nd wave of coverage here in the u. K. It has angered the airline and the travel industry the biggest m consortium of travel agents here in the u. K. Has said that theyre disappointed to which is europes largest Tour Operator has cancelled or holidays to spain for the next 2 weeks although people will be able to go to the belly eric highlands and to the Canary Islands from monday in that company is questioning is saying theyre asking government why. The coroner scene is just is imposed on people coming back from those places when theyre not advising the British Government to not advise. Using britains knots to travel to the bali eric highlands in the Canary Islands when the demon as you say this seems to have been really quite a sudden decision until people have been caught off guard just how much of a surprise was this whole rule change. It was a total surprise for lets face it thousands or at least hundreds of people that weve talked to people arriving here at gatwick who had planned to go to spain one couple now flying in states to edinburgh for a short break they couldnt afford one of them would say a teacher here in the u. K. So a key worker and telling us they couldnt afford to have the 2 weeks off work when they got back from spain other people saying that they were going to try to delay their journeys but there were also family reunions involved with british people whose relatives live out in spain and so on so its an emotional cost as well for some people it will be financial the airlines are offering refunds or vouchers for later flights at the moment. Across all those latest developments for us i cant work airports in london thanks so much andy well al jazeera is a restart is on the Spanish Island of minorcan he was among those who were caught out by these new rules. I was on the runway at Dublin Airport about the takeoff so at that point there was very little turning back to be honest so my father called me and just said have you seen the new measures that have been implemented. And to be honest you know i was surprised but i wasnt hugely surprised id seen the numbers creeping up in mainland spain and i figured this was something that could happen but i never anticipated it actually happening before id even taken all of that was quite a surprise i mean the numbers here in minorca are very low i think its only been about 100 or so people contracted coated since the outbreak began so it is a little bit surprising that were going to have to quarantine as well i can understand it would be extremely frustrating to these people i mean we were quite frustrated when we heard the news the numbers here as ive just said are very low theyve implemented a very Strict Lockdown here pandemic broke out very very strict one and people have not been able to leave their houses and theyve done really well in heap in the numbers down here in minorca i think you know that the death rate across the political islands i think is lower than 300. 00 since this began and so i think theres only a handful of cases here in hospitals now so you know we would have come here unless we thought it was safe you know we live in a world now where you know the goalposts constantly being moved when it comes to you know the measures you have to adhere to but yeah i mean i can imagine a lot of people are going to be very frustrated because you know they would have come here in the state thought that it was a safe place to come and that they would have to take this quarantine when they get home which is extremely inconvenient when across the atlantic the u. S. Has recorded more than 73000 new infections just in the past 24 hours and the countrys top Infectious Diseases expert Dr Anthony Fauci is again urging state governments to help poor family i think the states of florida texas and california remain some of the west hit and many in florida are blaming the governor easing locked on measures too soon hundreds or castro reports from maryland.

S. Well protests against racism and Police Brutality in the u. S. City of portland have now entered the 9th week the demonstrations started in response to the killing of george floyd in minneapolis but anger has also been growing over the president Donald Trumps decision to send federal agents to the city has the story.

Is the e usual man a professor at Stanford University in balad and he says polands move is part of a wider trend emerging in some Eastern European countries. This is what we thought in the west its the liberal agenda of the European Union but now we see that governments in hungary and in poland self confidentially state that their understanding of europe and what values means and what the role of the family is and how secular the whole project should be is a subject of debate they want a different europe and they choose the timing wisely because we just finished negotiations on the largest package of saudi garrity that was directed linked to the rule of law and the state of democracy and the polish delegation walked home with 160000000000 euros to keep on modernizing the country and its society and now they send a signal to the electorate like the conservative electorate we do what we want and we define what our principles and priorities are that is simple convention is not a European Union convention its a concept of Europe Convention its is confusing because they even share the same flag but its an independent organization with different members so it doesnt do directly harm with the membership of the European Union but one would expect that potent is as committed as everybody else but the government has a slightly different interpretation of this.
