When i did. More fallout in the u. K. After the Prime Ministers chief advisor refuses to resign over the trip he made during lockdown. And theres people around the world are cooped up at home because of the pandemic well take you to a part of qatar where bird life is booming. With sports including marine times. At an achilles injury and training with ac milan which could rule him out for the season and potentially and his career in. Hong kongs leader is trying to ease fears about beijings planned new security law activists say its going to mean the end of the special one country 2 systems arrangement with china but carol has appealed for people to wait to see the details and promises the legislation wont trump alone hong kongs rights and freedoms. We are very free society so for the time being people have this freedom to say whatever they want to say but ultimately what is to be provided in this piece of legislation is for all of us to see in order to be assured that hong kongs freedoms will be preserved and hong kong vibrancy and the core values in terms of the rule of law the independence of a traditionally the various rights and freedoms enjoyed by people will continue to be there all those details are being ironed out to be timed closed doors in beijing during the annual communist Party Congress were expecting more information later but china says its expected to ban what it sees as treason secession sedition and subversion but many in hong kong worry that means banning from speech and their right to protest dozens were arrested on sunday and police cracked down with tear gas and rubber bullets claudio is a prodemocracy member of Hong Kongs Legislative Council she says young people will keep fighting for the future. Its a very heart breaking trend in hong kong technically we can say no to anything because if you say oh this new low its a technique li unconstitutional thats what some of our legal experts here are saying but then its a genius so this is the constitution so what i chant you know who are you trying to challenge right and we knew taking to the streets and seeing the young getting getting all beaten up and and arrested and that sort of protest just may not be very sustainable but then the young a flight into that future its a vanity in china and people in my generation i think it and. What we could we should add truth at least and show some im a standing and so were going to have a very unsettling. But to tell you as an assistant professor at the university of hong kong hes joining us now live via skype as we were mentioning before maceo is they we dont have the full details of what this law could evolve but it is im guessing the interpretation of words like treason and secession and subversion that is going to be key to all of this. Here that is right. I. E. Ive just watched a cons of the press conference by kerry lum and i have to say that shes not very big on details it is however its not to be is not unexpected because we are at the beginning of the drafting of this legislation now my concern really is dead. There even though the the beijing has the constitutional right to push through this legislation the its the would be that this is done is not really very transparent that i would have actually preferred the hong kong Legislative Council to have passed these because the electrical would then actually have more control over what is being written into the law however. Despite the amount of time that has been given to them they are unable to do so and. And right now we see these they cant they get out of hong kongs hands so we just have to well theres nothing much we can do not except the provide the feedback to to the Hong Kong Government there suddenly the kind of thoughts and the kind of policing that is done in hong kong has to be done in a legal way in the traditions which is china going to be prepared to listen to those arguments to thank you. I think it would be in chinas interest to keep the one country 2 systems ronny this china has actually make make it very x. Very clear that the intent to and the reason why we arrived at this stage is really because of the the the amount of Political Violence were seeing on the streets last year so as much as i admire the aspirations of the Younger Generation i think a methodology could be better so. I feel dead there is a chance that the chinese would tread very carefully about what kind of. Instruments they can be using dont go but like i said the devil is in the details and because people themselves unable to reach a consensus these things they cannot go hands so this is really what concerns me for to tell you we appreciate it to tears an assistant professor at university of kong thank you very much for joining us on knowledge is it. China is preparing to repatriate its citizens in india as corona virus infections their increase its embassy in new delhi told people of the plan on monday they have until wednesday to register to leave those suspected diagnosed with covert 900 wont be able to go back well with more on this katrina news joining us now from beijing why is this happening not. Well according to the Chinese Government theyre concerned about the safety of their people in india because of the spread of the pandemic they have about 5000 chinese citizens in india at the moment who are tourists or their business and theyre concerned about them and so they want to repatriate them but this 5000. 00 its significant but its just a drop in the ocean compared to the amount of chinese currently stuck abroad because of the pandemic china currently has a very strict limitations on travel into the country only one airline per country per week is allowed to fly into china and those tickets are extremely rare and expensive so this move has relieved many chinese in india but its provoked anger in others saying well why of those in charge in india been prioritised and i think that brings us to the 2nd reason why the government is moving so quickly on this there are currently rising tensions between china and india because of a spat on the border chinese troops and indian troops have disagreed over the line of control and that theyve been engaging in scuffles on the border and this is the last of 3 years that these skirmishes have been taking place with more intensity and more frequency in recent weeks and really analysts say there could be a real fear that these skirmishes so far no bullets have been fired there so far just fistfights but they could descend further into all out conflict at some point in the near future katrina thanks very much and. Well the skirmishes between indian and chinese soldiers began 3 weeks ago at the punks only on the border troops are standing face to face and at least 4 places both sides have reportedly increased their presence there the border has never been officially agreed and the recent tensions were described as the worst since a standoff in 217 that lost its 73 days. As a professor from east Asian Studies that now with no university she explains the possible motives behind the escalation in the tensions at the border we need to look at that not a strategic picture that we that we image if well india is not even mean its Going Forward or will be tailored to be that it claims because. At this point the the chinese are moving into indian territory came to buy india which will give them a very very good cmon big position in that particular view and it is obvious the input watching a couple of places where the indians have their own infrastructure they have their own build up. Bases and you know naturally all the beating out of this place has been in contention because the many scholars have claimed that the chinese have been steadily pushing and in welching gradually one wanted to do so and i see it this is the matter which has to be immediately taken up at the highest level and the agents must be used more than 2 and a half 1000000 filipinos have lost their jobs during the 2 months locked on hardest hit have been low paid workers who are now forced to beg for food jamila alan dorgan reports from manila. Julia savannah least say used to earn around 300. 00 a month as a jeepney driver that was barely enough to feed his family but he says somehow they were able to get by but life became much worse 2 months ago when the lockdown was imposed by the government to stop the spread of coronavirus hes unable to work and pay for the house rent in manila so they live like this now in a jeepney begging in the street just to feed his family. Yeah i die and i gave up but this is really tragic i can see all my children suffers there from our situation here and we dont know in our next meeting with. Christian going to see also says the pandemic brought more suffering for his family he used to be a professional photographer but when the lockdown of the entire region of luzon happened workers stopped coming in to. He found a job as a Delivery Driver earning less than half of what he used to image and i know i love god more professional aint gonna imagine and years and years of professional experience i swallowed the pray and roll up my sleeves just so i can be heard thanks or heard but we simply dont have a choice anymore it is some other absurd by below the Philippine Government implemented one of the worlds a strictest and longest quarantines a 2 month lock down for more than 50000000. 00 filipinos the region of luzon accounts for at least 75 percent of the entire economy quarantine restrictions were recently eased in an attempt to restore some normalcy and limit the economic damage after 2 decades of uninterrupted growth. But at least 2 and a half 1000000 filipinos have already lost their jobs since the lockdown began and the government says millions more are expected to be unemployed this year the impact of this Health Crisis is causing quite secular suffering to those who have very little to begin with. The government is giving cash aid to millions of impoverished families but leaders admit resources are already stretched and much of the governments socalled Calamity Fund has been used up. Those like julius of always lived on the fringes say they feel left out if the virus doesnt kill them they say hunger most likely will. Duggan manila. But more ahead on the news hour including trapped with the abusers more on the surge and Domestic Violence since lock downs were imposed and a classic game in name only is germanys top 2 teams go head to head in an empty stadium thats coming up with a job in the school. In the u. K. A junior minister has quit after the Prime Ministers top adviser defied calls to resign all apologize over accusations he broke coronavirus lockdown rules Dominic Cummings says he doesnt regret his actions he traveled with his family from london to northeast england in march when his wife had over 1000 symptoms now were going to talk to me barker in london shortly but 1st heres his report. This was an unusual moment for Dominic Cummings more comfortable in the background of british politics the Prime Ministers chief advisor has been under huge pressure to explain his trip to the north east of england which appear to defy the governments old lock down rules a journey he said he was forced to take under exceptional circumstances no i dont i dont regrets what i do do so as i say to think reasonable people may well disagree about how i thought about what to do in the in the in the circumstances but i think that i think what i did was actually reasonable in these. In these circumstances. Cummings whose faced a daily media scrum outside his home so the journey was to ensure his 4 year old son was looked after because his wife was suffering from coronavirus symptoms something he would also develop he said he remained in isolation in a separate property on his parents estate leaving the house to collect his son from hospital when he fell ill walk in woods on his fathers land and return to london after 1st travelling to a local beauty spot to check if he was fit to drive the scandals dominated the front pages of many of mondays newspapers opposition m. P. s are calling for an immediate inquiry and theres a growing number of m. P. s in the ruling conservatives cummingss own party that want him to immediately resign his explanation goes some way in diffusing some of the anger directed towards him but others are asking whether they can add their own personal interpretation to the lock down rules. Summers come early to the british capital and with it an increasingly relaxed attitude to social distancing rules at the height of restrictions the British Government urged people to stay at home and save lives a message most followed by the scandal surrounding Dominic Cummings has a roaded Peoples Trust in government anybody think theyre above this letter of the law is a maniac and they should all adhered to it as much as possible and i think hes now its a shocker to go immediately why should we be following up down when they dont want him to be any punishment if you dont follow it Boris Johnson defended his chief adviser saying cummings acted lawfully and with integrity in following his parental instincts the comments have been raised johnsons critics who accuse cummings of double standards over the lot down rules by every Single Person in the country said to do these things but one person in the country Boris Johnson has staked his entire Reputation Authority on career in saying no no no whatever he told me you did nothing wrong the government meant to be using this time to lead the country out of lockdown instead its struggling to silence a scandal at the heart of power and he is joining us now from london its been 24 hours since the story broke me whats the reaction these days. You know those are a day after that all important statement from donate cummings i think the government is still struggling to stay the attention back to all it wants to talk about which is the strategy for easing restrictions in the coming weeks so there was an awful lot of anger directed towards cummings that that he found an exception in the small print so what many thought were hard and fast rules to stay at home and save lives he said that there were exceptional circumstances behind his decision to travel to the northeast of england and he seemed to blame the media for whipping up a frenzy against him which meant that he felt it wasnt safe for him and his wife and his 4 year old son to self isolate in his London Property was speaking of the medias want to the tabloids fame here this morning just to because you dont know what the right wing left wing the daily mirror pretty much the same thing which is extraordinary no apology no regrets no regrets no apology one can only wonder they were whether or not they were sort of grumbling about the similarities this morning or celebrating them but also singing from the same hymn sheet our politicians some opposition parties and also some conservative parties the policy of dominate coming said himself because they are piling on the pressure on Boris Johnson to try and force either resignation or force the Prime Minister to cite Dominic Cummings an awful lot of Political Energy has been sent spent on what many m. P. s see a distraction at a critical time for the country where many really want to know what the next phase is easing restrictions in the coming weeks the government wants to talk about the return of some children to schools it wants to talk about some shops and stalls opening in the coming weeks but still being distracted by the chief advisor to the Prime Minister somebody who would normally is in the background of british politics may thanks very much indeed i want to bring in our wager hes a Research Associate to the u. K. In a changing europe hes joining us now from london thanks very much indeed for being with us to give us your opinion of what impact this has had on the johnson government. Well the problem for johnson is that a month ago 6 weeks ago he was riding high in the opinion polls not an Approval Rating of up to 50 in the last hour weve had a. Opinion poll coming out cheney is in hes now in negative popularity is that all of the Political Capital they gain from being the leader as this crisis broke and he was trusted across the Global Spectrum has evaporated over the last 6 or 7 weeks break as a result of a perception the bundling the crowbar tices and now this this this this attack on his own government from dominic coming from within so all of the all of the popularity or does the courts which was key to keeping Public Opinion behind him and keeping people abiding by the dam structure is now pulling apart as a result of this incident how much politically is Boris Johnson risking by filling the supporting cummings in this way he managed to tie him self to dominic coming hes all that from for example care starwars interview or on saturday night when he tried to actually Nakoula Cummings resignations and try to tie this incident to Boris Johnson and to the Decision Making of Boris Johnson and thats thats how opposition parties can gain Political Capital from this over the next week or so its no longer buy buy buy buy the rights rules of what of what you what cummings it is already is already damaged the part of the you know his position up and his and his reputation up its now whether or not this infects the conservative party and thats why you are seeing you know for example a resignation this morning from scottish conservative minister and youre seeing increasing pressure now despite you know despite theres the sense there was a counterattack yesterday increasing pressure on oncoming his position because of the dissension is now and its now bringing down and concerns a part of it was actually writing writing hiring and you know does nearly every month ago. If a coming stays in office and at the moment it looks as though he may do what do you think that is going to do to the governments efforts to try to control the reopening the staged reopening of the u. K. I mean were already talking about a more complicated message for the u. K. As we were leaving you know the answer the simple lockdown message to a more nuanced nuanced message across across the country and all the signs are that many of them present was in place for example that you know this incident has meant a lot of people are saying you know if one looks like the only comings that i may as well not abide by the lockdown rules and actually you know that they do lock down and senshi having a some sort of track track and trace system where people who have no symptoms occur in a virus at all are being asked there now 2 weeks you know the likelihood of that being a sort of policy that will be able to be implemented afterward just seeing the governments key advisor you know now the rules its going to it is creating really big problems for the governments political and policy strategy in the medium to long term me and thats thats thats thats the thats the result of this now critical your thoughts on this album which are we appreciate it thank you thanks.
