A penalty shoot out to win because they tell you. They begin the program with a contentious law chinas proposing which would allow beijing to further oversee security in Hong Kong Chinas top Decision Making body is considering a draft of the bill bring it one step closer to becoming a reality despite widespread criticism so we have a fortress in beijing and hong kong closely covering the story will go to adrian brown in a moment 1st betray us in the Chinese Capital so katrina what else do we know about where this word this law potential loss stands. Well we do know that its more surveyed essentially by beijings frustrations and embarrassment following these prodemocracy antigovernment protests that have been taking place in hong kong since last june beijing firmly believes that these are a source of instability and of threats to the regions prosperity they also believe that theyre being filled by forces intent on splitting hong kong from the mainland now critics would say simply its beijings way of taking matters into its or in hands because Anti Government voices in hong kong are simply getting too loud now essentially what would happen with this law is that it would be inserted in hong kongs mini constitution its basic law while completely bypassing the usual legislative process in hong kong now we know that Chinas National Peoples Congress the Standing Committee which is the top legislative body in beijing discussed this law today on thursday and they defined 4 separate crimes under this National Security law which are separatist activity terrorism colluding with Foreign Forces and also state subversion and they also apparently discussed punishments for these individual crimes now were yet to hear any specific details on this but analysts believe that this will will essentially take hong kong one step closer to being like any other chinese mainland province in the sense that any criticism of beijing is likely to be censored or severely punished now the Foreign Ministers from the g 7 nations released a statement on wednesday asking beijing to reconsider this law because they said that it would erode hong kongs fundamental rights now beijings Foreign Ministry on thursday hit back at that statement saying that they oppose it and that these countries are meddling in chinas internal affairs it simply seems like beijing has no intention whatsoever of pulling back from the store anytime soon ok with the latest from beijing adrian brown jurors as down from hong kong so adrian is because you said china is now back backing down but hong kong clearly is not going to just accept it or do they have a choice. Well richelle the devil is in the detail and we simply dont have enough details meet chinas definition of whats a version what is satish and what is succession is very different from other governments the worry here is that hong kong is going to have imposed on it a vaguely worded law the could be broadly applied now in china they have a charge known as picking quarrels and provoking troubles not is the go to weapon of the authorities when they want to go after dissidents human Rights Groups journalists the worry is the same thing could happen here weve been hearing from journalist groups here in hong kong today who have carried out a survey 150 journalists were were questioned 87 percent of them said they now have grave fears about freedom of speech the future of freedom of speech in hong kong and some journalists are saying they might well quit the profession rather than remaining as a journalist we heard also of course thursday from g 7 Foreign Ministers the Foreign Ministers representing the advanced economies of the world they urged china to rethink this security law that court has been ignored but they also pointed out and its important to to mention this the by doing this china is breaching not just hong kongs basic law the mini constitution the lure of hong kong but also breaching the joint declaration thats the deal that britain and china signed before the handover in 1997 a legally binding deal thats been lodged with the United Nations now its not just journalist groups who are worried ive been hearing from others who are also concerned about what the future holds. You find it of a busy street up a narrow staircase where walls are 1st student with stickers advocating hong kong separatism and mocking chinas leaders the building is home to a bookstore specializing in literature sympathetic to hong kongs protest movement and that the only concedes makes him a potential target for chinas new security law something pops especially the us are there were folks there were tight toes on safra to some on the hong kong and ins that we sell so all these might be things that got us in trouble some time later he has reason to worry in 2015 another hong kong bookseller disappeared into chinese custody for 6 months following a visit to the mainland the clock is ticking for the imposition of a law that journalists say could severely restrict freedom of speech in shrines in the deal that britain and china did before the handover in 1997 so were concerned over many questions as to whether we can interview the parent advocate you know film people calling for an end to one part party rule or criticising the government but beyond that were concerned that we wont get on to the top of these questions and this law is going to be. Broadly applied in the same way that it is in the mainland to stifle dissent not so say chinas leaders they insist the new law will only target a minority of one or termed troublemakers who threaten chinas National Security. But in a sign of what may be to come 15 veteran prodemocracy figures have gone on trial accused of taking part in an Illegal Assembly they include albert ho who says hes prepared for jail we have to risk my safety. Liberty that is something im prepared for but i wont give it up the new security law could be in place by july the 1st the 23rd anniversary of hong kongs return to chinese rule well weve had a parallel picture here today richelle because one of chinas Biggest Companies jadi dot com has made its debut on the hong kong stock market and its share value soared this initial Public Offering making more almost 4000000000 dollars meaning it was a 2nd biggest i. P. O. Of the year now that may or may not provide an indication of the ambitions that china has for this place. Adrian brown live for us in Hong Kong Adrian thank you and yes president Donald Trumps former National Security adviser has written a book that makes insatiable accusations about president among those accusations john bolton says trump asked foreign leaders including chinas president to help him get reelected this year thats based on excerpts released to the media early war will be revealed obviously with the because out thats next week in the meantime mike hanna reports from washington. The democrat controlled house of representatives impeach President Trump for his dealings with ukraine ruling that hed withheld aid to leverage information about his political opponent Joe Biden John Bolton refused an invitation to testify before the house but now alleges that this action was typical of President Trumps dealing with a number of countries and he criticizes the house for limiting its investigation to use crain had they taken the time to inquire more systematically about trumps behavior crosses entire Foreign Policy john bolton writes the impeachment outcome would have been different in published excerpts from his book bolton alleges that President Trump sort favors from foreign leaders like the one of turkey and in particular president xi of china bolton recounts President Trumps conversation when he met the chinese president in a soccer on the 29th of june last year trump then stunningly turned the conversation to the coming u. S. President ial election alluding to chinas economic capability and pleading with sheikh to ensure hed when you stress the importance of farmers and increase chinese purchases of soybeans and wheat in the electoral outcome bolton continues i would print trumps exact words but the governments prepublication review process has decided otherwise despite boltons confirmation that the manuscript has been vetted by the National Security council the department of justice has asked a federal court to block publication 50 years ago the Supreme Court held that a similar attempt by the Nixon Administration to block publication of the pentagon papers amounted to censorship the widespread publication of passages from the book is likely to reinforce the federal court in applying precedent and rejecting the trumpet ministrations case next week its likely the public will be able to read the full account of a white house which practices in john boltons words obstruction of justice as a way of life. My kind of aljazeera washington and china has reacted to those allegations saying there is no intention to meddle in the upcoming vote films you are going to need to know and. China pursues a principle of noninterference in others internal feeds we have no intention to interfere in us internal fees or a mere election. Bill schneider is a professor of Public Policy at George Mason University he says its too late for trump to contain the fallout from the new book. Whatever this is going to happen its to me the book is already out there its not in stores yet but its been sent to Media Outlets like to be york times reviews have been published more reviews are coming its too late you cant kill a book like this my take on it is that its shocking its not anything dramatically new but what it really demonstrates is john boltons argument that donald trump is motivated primarily by his personal interest d in everything right now that means his personal interest in getting reelected he seems to be putting his personal interest ahead of the National Interest or at least defining the National Interest and his personal political interest as one in the same that is a very damaging charge and its actually a scandalous charge some people would call it a treasonable charge but its a very strong charge part of it is trumps shocking unfamiliarity with some of the basic facts about International Affairs he wonders whether he asked one point bold reports whether finland is actually a part of russia he doesnt know he seems to be surprised that Great Britain is a Nuclear Power he didnt seem to know that there are many occasions there where hes the lack of knowledge is really quite surprising he also does some embarrassing things like he presses people to deliver a gift an elton john musical cd of a song call rocket man he asks people to deliver that to the leader of north korea who he likes to call rocket man i mean the whole thing is a bit embarrassing. John boltons book also says President Trump told chinas paying that he approved of beijings repression of Muslim Leaders and other minorities while publicly condemning the mass detentions earlier on wednesday trump signed into law an act the calls for sanctions against chinese officials who are involved the United Nations says that to a 1000000 we girls have been detained in camps the chinas government says the centers provide Vocational Training is a Senior Research fellow at the center for china and globalization it says there is an element of duplicity in the white house response to china. Youll recognize the issues that will follow our red line or any. Plane to take a look. At hong kong. And this is. Well used to play the boss on us and we always. Try to keep our guys who dont work well 72 in the in the outfield of National Security strategy was to us when we meaning plant in washington. That i think china has a little. Once to fall off a little plane running was exactly what we will or should they who are the ones with the lever on think is also very pragmatic in wanting to know why the wall meaning that they think this is war western media and ones over. Being the checkpoints or what. Is the truth what is probably our situation in that there are elements of Whose Administration was in iraq over 21 years much more pragmatic the more interesting the wombles that we. Could be mounted. Actually. That all this plan is doing in singles actually the right things that its all charles and so there is a little boy i will see that certainly what i think they think what the administration with thinking was what.

Thank you. It has been nearly 10 years since the u. N. Call for a major cleanup of oil spills in nigerias unshared delta but a new report says little is actually been done to caves of oil spills have cost a very damage to the delta in 2011 the u. N. Said the cleanup could take 30 years and cost a 1000000000. 00 up to 40000000. 00 people face Major Health Risk because of contamination to Agricultural Land fisheries and Drinking Water across the delta the region has also seen a rise in infant mortality the study also found un backed emergency measures on water and Health Protection have not been implemented properly investigation by pressure groups including friends of the earth and amnesty found cleanup work had only begun on 11 percent of the contaminated sites so this is how Shell Petroleum nigeria is responding to all of this is part of their statement this report fails to recognize that the majority of the un Environment Programs recommendations need multistakeholder efforts coordinated by the federal government of nigeria and that shell has acted on all recommendations directed to it in the un e. P. A. Report we continue to actively support the clean up process along with other stakeholders so lets speak to mike to met and mark pardon me to met in london hes the head of Business Security and human rights at Amnesty International we appreciate your time so much so i guess lets just go ahead and pick up on the statement from shell basically saying its not all up to us what do you have to say to that. You know all of them sort of having me on this program to explain this you know frankly scandalous failure by a shell in the Nigerian Government to follow up on the recommendations of the United Nations what we found with our partners in friends of the earth is that the efforts that have been launched to conduct this cleanup in this one region called it go to land which is just one small part of the niger delta but the efforts to date have big too little too weak and they havent resulted in any effective cleanup when the result of that the inhabitants of the area are stupid exposed to Serious Health risks the u. N. Found for example that groundwater had been heavily contaminated by years and years of oil spills and pollution and a failure to clean it up though is nigerian citizens are still forced to drink but polluted water so many years off to this situation was exposed so where is the accountability i mean where where where what is the mechanism to force somebody to do something about it is there a line. Well but thats a really good question and to date there hasnt been any accountability what were calling for is the Nigerian Government to once again was really committed itself to this cleanup it set up a body in 2051 president bihari was 1st elected he promised that his administration would see this cleanup through well all fine and show that he has failed so were calling on president the hari and the government to completely we examine what has been done. And we launch this initiative to make sure that it is affective one of the things were asking for the government to do is to remove shell from the body which oversees. Oversees this cleanup were concerned that theres a potential conflict of interest in having the Company Responsible for the pollution then also having a say in the oversight of how the cleanup is carried out. Is is that that that is unusual that there are this has to be the ones that can clean it up and they actually have a say so when it is that part of that almost seems like nobody really wants to do anything about it but what were worried about is that you know on paper it looks good on paper you know there is an organization which is being set up to conduct its cleanup its got a really good website is go to twitter feed. You know its on facebook it presents itself as being as a Successful Organization were worried that its basically an excuse for everyone to samal of there is progress being made but the reality on the ground is that this progress is not being made and as i said people are still force adroitness poisoned water isnt just about money. Its not about money because money has been put forward by a shadow on the all the Oil Companies it goes much deeper it comes down to competence of the contract and the commitment old everyone involved in the knowledge that you know to protect the rights so that people cannot be informed marx met with Amnesty International marc thank you very much thank you larry as im allowing you have joined a protest against what they say is government interference and the tradition president peter with rekha has sent the countrys chief justice and to retirement just 2 weeks before an Election Rerun of president her earlier to overthrow a court ruling that a new election must be held.

If you are in beijing looking out the Pacific Ocean youd see American Warships when this was done somehow time is aiming to replace america and going to run the world while the chinese are not that stupid these guys want to dominate a huge chunk of the planet this sounds like a preparation for our 1st president George Washington said if you want peace prepare for war the coming war on china part one on a just you know when the news breaks children here say theyre excited to be back in school but also know of us when people need to be hurt while qatar certainly has friends here for whom its a kind of theone put important limitation and not push the country focus on if the message production aljazeera has teams on the ground just because its more doesnt mean it cannot be priced what about the guys that can afford it to bring you more room would win documentaries and life. Now watching aljazeera lets recap the top stories right now chinas top Decision Making body is reviewing a draft of a controversial National Security bill for hong kong the announcement it may spark criticism and protest amid fears of will curb freedoms a new book by former u. S. National security advisor john bolton says donald trump asked the chinese leader for help and his reelection beijing says it has no intention of interfering and the folks olten also says that trump told station ping that he approved of chinas repression of Muslim Leaders while publicly condemning the mass detentions trungpa signed into law sanctions against chinese officials who are involved. The United Nations says almost 80000000 people are now forcibly displaced from their homes the highest number since records began war persecution and human rights abuses forced millions of people to make a life or death decision every year to stay or go displacements have nearly doubled over the last decade reaching 79500000 people by the end of last year thats one percent of the global population and just 5 countries account for 2 thirds of those displacements syria venezuela afghanistan south sudan and me and maher lets bring in Matthew Saltmarsh a spokesman for the u. N. Refugee agency. These are startling numbers how did it get to this point so quickly. Well thank you very much for having me i think the report shows us that displacement is here with us and its not going anywhere fausto and theres a danger that its become ingrained and that its simply accepted as being talked about more than an International System how did we get to have well displacement has been rising for a number of years in the most recent year and this report covers 2019 weve seen. Displacement in africa in mess a hell reachin in the democratic republic of congo of course theres been no solution to track to refugee situation like afghanistan and like syria and of course we have a venezuela situation where we have Something Like 4 and a half 1000000 people who have been forced to flee that country so taken together a number of factors but as you mentioned in your intro the conflict in persecution on not being resolved on a global scale and thats why were here so any make a good point like wait were almost were almost used to these numbers as horrific as they are but these are these are real people and often these are people who actually want to return whole how how how big of a factor is that i mean how common is that that that people actually want to go whole i think youre absolutely right to say that most refugees do indeed want to return they want to go home they dont want to remain in exile one of the problems we have is that the number of returns has been declining significantly in this last year the number of refugee returns was Something Like 300000 if you look back at the ninetys there was there were much much bigger returns in some cases well over a 1000000 refugees were able to return to conflicts were resolved dont because of the nature of conflict at the moment were simply not seeing that these days. Is there anything in the reports anything that is a glimmer of hope about anything going in the right direction at all. Well i think theres a couple of things one is the Global Compact from refugees this was an International Agreement at the end of the 28 team where a number of countries and International Organizations and institutions and Civil Society all came together and decided to try and work in a different way to help refugees but also to help host countries and that process is still ongoing and despite covert 19 were hopeful that more progress will be made in that sense also i think the International Community has been generous in funding the refugee situation in the covert 19 context and i think thats a sign that there is solidarity internationally but of course we need much more and particularly in certain regions what does this mean for sick cases like this always disproportionately generally affect disproportionately when men and children what does this mean for a generation of children many of whole are have no stability and no education you know youre right to focus on that fact i mean the number of women and children in the refugee population particularly in certain areas like for example the south sudan situation is disproportionately high and education is of course lacking so we need much more resources and more focus on bath so that we can allow refugees to have much better prospects and so that they can get livelihoods for themselves and that they can become much more independent so theres lots of work that needs to be done on that thats why countries that host refugees but also by the International Community and donors and the humanitarian sector at the salt marsh with the u. N. Refugee agency matthew thank you thank you. The u. S. Has introduced more sanctions against syrias government at its backers warning it will not stop until president Bashar Al Assad and the war against his own people some of those targeted are in neighboring lebanon and thats expected to worsen the economic crisis as the government seeks help from the International Monetary fund saying no to reports from beirut. Lebanon strictly poor it was getting ready to play a role in the rebuilding of syria a few kilometers from the border its well placed to become a Logistics Hub for local and International Companies but any Foreign Investment or business dealings with president Bashar Assads government will now be punishable by u. S. Sanctions the measure targets assets political and economic backers some of them are in lebanon i think it would be very difficult for lebanon to keep maintaining his relationships with the Syrian Regime its going to be difficult they will not be able to reconcile before syria is the only functioning land border in lebanon has trade might be affected even then would this make this a lebanon is an economic crisis what this means is lebanon will be isolated according to customs we export more than we import about 400000000. 00 and. Its not clear whether commodities for which taxes have to be paid will be considered aid to the government but what is clear is that syria will find it harder to rely on lebanon to avoid sanctions it has used it to access dollars in banks for International Trade lebannon is one way for for for him for smuggling for exchanging. Some some trade lebanon is a line along one of the long slow. Through sanctions also apply to any force operating in a military capacity for or on behalf of the Syrian Regime that would include her. The armed iranian backed group that controls political power in lebanon. Its calling for restoring relations with damascus when the. Lebanon is in a difficult position the government risks sanctions if it supports syrias collapsing economy or doesnt move away from the syria iran account talks with the International Monetary fund for much needed Financial Aid to help deal with a deep economic crisis will also be affected. Authorities will be required to stop the smuggling of goods like fuel and wheat into syria which the United States believes is helping us how its government survive the new sanctions may not be directed at lebanon but lebanese Business OwnersCompanies Politicians even the state could be targeted.
