Im brian thomas great to have you with us today china is planning to impose a new law on hong kong banning what it calls subversion and separatism beijing says it aims to counter threats to National Security critics say its a push by beijing to end prodemocracy protests and will effectively bring hong kong under direct rule from beijing hong kong activist joshua long told e. W. Of his fears for the future if this law passes more from joshua wang in a moment 1st we have this ripper report to pass after a 2 month delay chinas political event of the year. There is now under way she some 3000. 00 delegates from across the country have gathered for the National Congress in beijing details on a controversial bill that would ban treason subversion and sedition in hong kong are expected soon chinas premier vowed to uphold the one china 2 systems policy but stressed that change is necessary likud shaam said beijing will establish sound Legal Systems and Enforcement Mechanisms for safeguarding National Security in the 2 special Administrative Region and see that the governments of the regions fulfill their constitutional responsibilities. But there are fears that the new law could reignite the prodemocracy protests that crippled hong kong last year. Residents fear that their special rights to assembly and free speech are under threat. Guy come on hey at me now it wont be possible to openly talk about the government as they might think you are threatening the countrys health and security and they could arrest you. Again on the material on this is not freedom at all it is not a democratic country. If they if they can have an auto way or other alternative to stop this they dont need to prostate nationalistic within laws to his tongue off the stone off a plastic law to punish hold on people so. Prodemocracy lawmakers accuse beijing of trying to force the bill through without their consent. This is a complete destruction. All for one country 2 systems and and also is a compliment. This on are all promises made under the sun o. And british joint declaration as well as all the promises that have been made by the Chinese Government to all of the world the proposed legislation is also being met with resistance outside of china the u. S. Warned washington would respond very strongly if the bill is passed that. Lets get the view now from hong kong were happy to be joined by joshua wang hes one of hong kongs leading prodemocracy activist good day to you and a load to hong kong whats your reaction to what were hearing from beijing from this proposed new legislation shouldnt you practice generated by beijing and the National Security law that such as the 5 face involves in hong kong they totally follow a procedure justice and even have to bypass the legislature in hong kong once National People congress amongst and a whole called polish or the secret agent can just this to arrest people a prosecutor people or even extradite paul call us from hong kong to china and maybe the next day we shovel would not exist in china but from hong kong is that what youre expecting are you expecting joshua beijing to begin arresting people after it imposes this law for the do so. The number of. The number of arrests that protester since last summer 8000 and even more than the number of prisoners inmates in hong kong right now so sure if that is being generated and no doubt at all they will call and give you a crackdown on hong kong people that fight bought them ocracy and freedom but i just want to let the world to know that the National Security law is not only suitable fall hong kong citizens even travelers all fairness in hong kong they are also a lot to be arrested with such evil and does that mean they could be to extradited to the mainland yes and thats the key point and last year we opposed the extradition law really calling for controversial and research into human as people took to the street later on in 2020 beijing did them plan to impose the extradition law they just planned announce it in beijing is that go for the legislation process in hong kong and i just want the Hong Kong Government saying it will fully cooperate with being saying on this National Security law what you make of that no sir not surprised at all beijing kerry level of the Hong Kong Government official just a puppet of beijing all the loyalists of communist authorities and knol is how they erode it on universal well it would that we all believe it and not only affecting status as in hong kong but even and in the flow mats and if for a nurse all businessmen travel to hong kong they might be extradited to china and a legitimate reason one country 2 system after the bradley effect feel years ago might result in one country one and a half system but not right now is that iran one country one system but ok call us must back to the street again on just one country one system that would mean ineffective and to hong kong as we know it today. Thats the nightmare we must need to face and we must stand up and knock against it and beijing imposed a National Security in law i think thats its not about the secretary of the nation is just about the secretary of communist party of china you just called for for people to take to the streets is that what you see happening in the days ahead will people be taking to the streets and and isnt there the concern that they will be arrested then and potentially extradited the protesters to the mainland. No one could and show when will the National Security law. And National People Congress Show before this law costs. In beijing we must get a people on the street again what are you going to be doing joshua. No matter mobilize people to the street called the new International Advocacy and more important thing is we have to let the Global Community to stand up hong kong just like how fellow Global Community is that codice stand with hong kong in 2910 youre looking for help from abroad are you thinking that America Donald trump said he would react very strongly u. S. President should be doing and act this law are you hoping for help from the us extras actions speak louder in a burst support hall its not a matter of left all right its just a matter of right or wrong and recall allies around the world to support hong kong people against the National Security law that erodes on fundamental and basic freedoms freedom so we read it wish no matter us or european country could impose the hong kong human rights and democracy act all cloven its get do and has the sanction mechanism and left beijing to realize that college how to china is not the only way out joshua long for us today from hong kong thanks very much for that joshua thank you. The communist Party Congress in beijing comes as for the 1st time in 3 decades china has abandoned its annual Economic Growth targets and doing so aside the coronavirus and global uncertainty in his annual work report to the Congress Premier League chang said china has set a target of creating 9000000 new urban jobs he also promised to increase spending in financing to support the economy which contracted by some 7 percent in the 1st quarter of this year. Lets take a look now at some of todays coronavirus Developments India has seen as biggest single day rise in cases as it begins easing its lock down more than 6000 new infections reported on friday brazil is fast approaching russia to become the worlds 2nd biggest infection hotspot behind the u. S. This comes after brazil reported Record Number of daily from a virus deaths the u. S. Has secured about a 3rd of the 1st 1000000000 doses planned for astra zeneca has experimental vaccine by pledging about 1200000000. 00 and Health Care Workers in britain and thailand have started taking part in a trial to determine whether to ante malarial drugs can prevent covert 19 the one that the us president says he has been taking and here in germany restrictions are gradually being eased across the country people are now allowed to travel to other regions and many are now taking the opportunity to finally get outside and this is some of the countrys best love sites. A scene of natural calm a lake in bavaria but looks can be deceptive thousands of people seize the chance to head for the hills again its our 1st trip in many weeks and tourists cheered by the relaxation of pandemic restrictions locals not so much. If you want to cross the road or park your car its completely full everywhere and. A different story at the other end of the country on the island of zilch its normally packed with tourists but now very few people are allowed onto the island and its speeches. Its this its a feeling of freedom again with the sea and the sun in the air. In hamburg tourist boats are back in the harbor after 2 months but now with reduced capacity. To benefit as the ships arent so full. We booked 3 days in hamburg you just have to get away. People have been getting away to the banks of the elba river in dresden its almost as if the look down is water under the bridge but when you when you think of all the restrictions its now the total opposite in the beer gardens along the river social distancing appears to be the exception not the rule people are happy to raise a glass to their newly regained freedom. And hope that things stay this way. And a bright spot for sports fans as well the eyes of a football deprived world will be turning to the german capital tonight as her berlin hosts rivals in your own. At will of course you know fans allowed in berlins iconic stadium but more people than ever will be watching on t. V. The bonus legal remains the only Major European League to have returned from their coronavirus suspension. Preparing for the taunts from thousands of rival fans is usually one of the hurdles a player must clear before an intercity darby but not this time the coronavirus pandemic means the stuns will be empty when youre on berlin have to have theyre looking to do the double over their city neighbors but bundesliga survival remains the name of the game that men do is explore guessing 6 points in total against half. So an additional 3 would help us achieve our main goal of staying in the league at all. Also for me the 1st priority is staying in the legal team not being city champions in the years that we need. To stop meisterschaft had eased further from trouble with a 3 male win at hoffenheim last weekend the 11th placed side at one point and one spot above their tarpey rivals there was criticism that the player celebrations against hoffenheim were 2 hands on hygiene guidelines say players shouldnt talk but now coach bruno of india wants to concentrate on the actual football even if his 2nd game in charge will be another surreal affair. Or hexes. As weve already talked a lot of banks have this isnt just darby we would have imagined theres absolutely no question about that i mean could we dont want to think about that anymore weve had enough of that over the past few months from now our focus has to be on want we can influence the soulish interest and good itll be a berlin darby like no other without any funds the players will have to generate all the passion. Lets get your mind of our top stories this hour china wants to impose weaving new security laws to clamp down on democracy in hong kong the measures were announced of the annual National Peoples Congress Underway in beijing lawmakers say it is an attack on basic human rights. Im brian thomas thats all for me for today and this week gephardt well 1st will be with you the top of the hour a great week of. The. Senate. Go beyond. That.
