A warning the disruption caused by the covert 19 pandemic could lead to double the number of malaria related deaths in africa this year. And in support the west indies are fighting to avoid defeat in the deciding task match against england stuart broad taking 6 wickets for england as his team took control of the contest. The British Government has reimposed 2 weeks of self quarantine on people returning from spain following new outbreaks of the corona virus that aljazeera is caught here Lopez Holloway on reports. 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 help plans to visit friends and family that we havent seen in about a long time and not looking have to cancel all those plans so its quite upsetting the sudden reversal follows a surge of covert 19 infections in spain we cry for straight by to be honest because it fails to actually feel safer in spain would it to the u. K. Before we left the u. K. It wasnt monday cheats ref ice mass in a lot of places. But nearly everybody is reading 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 bars 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. The sudden reimposition of restrictions is a reminder to many that even though some walked down measures here recently relaxed the pandemic appears to be far from over. Here. At Gatwick Airport just south of london for wept many people depart for their spanish holidays in the u. K. This is taken many people by surprise whats the reaction. Well the biggest reaction perhaps visibly has been from the British Government which has been defending its decision after some surprise eased comments and a fair amount of anger and disappointment from travellers the foreign secretary dominic robb has been on the television in the last few hours insisting that his government always plan to react to changing data as it easy out of lockdown he pointed out that the data came out on friday from spain which showed that there were more the 900. 00 cases in 24 hours he said that it was clear that there were outbreaks across mainland spain in his words and so its been necessary to tell people returning from space including from the bali area collins and from the Canary Islands that they have to isolate for 2 weeks will the Spanish Foreign minister i dont check on file is has now said that spain is safe for tourists and the government is trying to persuade the British Government to exempt those islands from the new ruling because the infection rates are much much lower there than they are here in the u. K. Its possible that theyre actually on a par nationally in spain with britain but still its clear that spain does have some problems in fact there are almost 300. 00 small outbreaks the biggest 3 according to the foreign minister in barcelona thought id go further and inlaid she says that theyre all under control and everything is being done to him to minimise the risk but clearly britain feels that it has to take that decision because it wants to avoid itself having to go back into lockdown if theres reinfection here so what happens but in the damed if youve got people who perhaps are even watching this now in their hotel in spain. They put themselves 2 weeks holiday when they get home and suddenly have to stay at home for another 2 weeks how do they square that. Yeah its a horrible situation for many people in fact on. Friday the day before the new quarantine measures were announced people were still being offered online offers of as as little as around 30. 00 for a flight to some destinations in spain so people were making the most of that and also people going to destinations including those islands where they thought that theyd be safe are now being told oh yes youre going to have to isolate for 2 weeks when you come back some people are having a canceling their plane at their trips because they cant take 2 weeks off either their key workers or for other reasons other people are changing their plans theyre being offered refunds but the travel industry here in the u. K. Is far from happy theyre trying to get the islands exempt but theyre also questioning why the decision was made so quickly was such a little. Such little warning so little time in advance the government here says that is the way it has to be done but the Opposition Labor Party calling on the government here to offer people clarity on what support they might get if they do have to self isolate returning from spain this is going to hit the confidence of people in traveling abroad for some time to come britain is not the only country taking measures for people going to spain france is a advising against nonessential travel norway has imposed a 10 Day Korean Team for people returning and of course that might happen to other countries which have their own outbreaks in the weeks and months to come out as there is now they are reporting live there from Gatwick Airport just south of london again many thanks indeed for the pandemic is spreading faster and further took the world 2 weeks to go. From 1000000 to 2000000 infections its taken just 4 days to make the leap from 15 to 16000000 data from the u. S. Based Johns Hopkins University Shows the United States brazil and india leading the surge this graph shows the number of cases at it every day the curve is rising with more than a quarter of a 1000000 new infections each 24 hours almost 650000 people worldwide and died after contracting the disease dr punk kolya is a senior clinical lecturer at the university of Exeter Medical school in the u. K. And an expert in Disease Control he says the global surge in cases was entirely predictable. It surprises me that people are surprised and ask questions like where did this come from it is inevitable and obvious if we have a large number of cases and then we move from environment of a lock down to having people go back to work and mingling and socializing one meets the other and people get infected and they make more cases the other thing that makes coronavirus called 1000 disease so difficult to control is because many people are infectious without showing any signs and symptoms of illness and that makes control that much more difficult and thats why we get these sudden surge of cases all over the country and all were all over the world measures such as Infection Control social distancing wearing a mask are important other issues that have already started weve got to stop it so for example cinemas here it is crowded bars night clubs those are places where infection will inevitably transmit and weve got to say no weve got to have restrictions that Outdoor Activities are a lot more safe than indoor activities so what we have to do is accept that it will happen work in partnership determine what is safe and do the safe things and dont do the unsafe things argentinas government deployed thousands of security personnel and marched to and force a nationwide lockdown to contain the coronavirus but reports of abuse and violence on the rise the 0 stories above are reports now from point a status.

Loved horses and like to compete in races around the province his friend Bryan Bromell was with him that night he says they did not mean to violate the lockdown and never thought things would end up the way they did but get on a limb. Now we cannot trust the police they dont take care of us they kill us we have to take care of each other because we cannot expect anything from them. But many say look us in the only victim of the Security Forces its been 4 months since argentina imposed a law to prevent the spread of colgate 19 but critics say that the government has given too much power to Security Forces on the ground who are in charge of patrolling the streets Security Forces that have been involved in abuses in the past human Rights Groups say that at least 12 people have been either killed or disappeared by argentinas Security Forces 22 year old.

Well john lewiss body has been sitting in repose at the Troy University in alabama close to where he was born it was then taken to the him me church in selma alabama and this giant of the Civil Rights Era will now make his final journey across the Edmund Pettus bridge in selma alabama of course that was the scene of bloody sunday in 1965 when john lewis went with other protesters and marches demanding Voting Rights and civil rights for africanamericans they were planning on marching all the way to montgomery the state capital of alabama when they reached the crest of that bridge and 965 they were met by Alabama State troopers and those pictures really change the civil rights history of this country john lewis himself was badly beaten one of several times he was beaten over the course of his work in civil rights and in fact got a fractured skull at one point when the pictures of that day went across the entire nation it changed the mood of this country it brought the Voting Rights act into sharp focus and john lewis never really stopped battling from that point onwards he was also the leader of the nonviolent Student Committee he was one of the freedom riders who fought against the separation segregation of africanamericans and he fought his entire life for civil rights he never stopped fighting this was a man who never rose his voice if you listen to him speak about these issues he didnt ever get angry he just never stopped fighting so his legacy is one that is extremely important in the history of this country when it comes to civil rights and upon his death he will be the last person alive or last person to speak that day in washington d. C. When dr Martin Luther king jr made his now extremely famous i have a dream speech and what of his legacy given all thats currently going on in the u. S.
