EU states open borders, shock after rioting in German city

From Nine To Noon, 9:55 am on 22 June 2020

Europe correspondent Seamus Kearney joins Kathryn to talk about how travel is possible within the EU, as borders reopen. But some careful planning is needed - there are different rules in place for different countries. Divisions remain among member nations over a coronavirus aid package. He also looks at why Stuttgart was hit by a night of rioting and looting in what police chiefs describe as "unprecedented" scenes of street violence.

Objects lie in front of a looted shop in Marienstraße. During clashes with the police, dozens of violent small groups have ravaged the city centre and injured several officers.
