A ramadan overshadowed by the coronavirus planted. A method how would welcome protests have broken out in hong kong after china sparked outrage with proposed new legislation that would ban what beijing calls succession ism and subversive activities it could allow Chinese Security agents to operate inside the territory for democracy campaigners are calling it a threat to hong kongs autonomy. To gas once again shrouds the streets of hong kong. Protests rotund off to china push for a strict new National Security law for the territory under cover of the coronavirus. The National Security law is even more damaging and harmful than the extradition bill last year entergy. By the government and now when time is running out in hong kong we would describe now as the beginning of the end we dont have enough time but we still need to continue the fight. For opponent see this is the end of hong kong one country 2 systems relationship with china the legislation that gives beijing more surveillance powers is supported by hong kong pro chinese legislators and local security chiefs. Were not of the great majority. I dont think mature the hong kong people in the interest. Of good things or Central Government so i dont think that is an issue. Facing rubberstamp assembly is expected to approve floor next week but protests on the small island may prove difficult to stamp out. Well for more on this lets bring in ben howard but singing expert china and asia pacific at the Bertelsmann Institute ben are just one we heard described in the pastis National Security law as the beginning of the end for one country 2 systems is he right. He is right unfortunately this law is really a devastating blow to the freedoms and autonomy of hong kong it is a big blow to the hong kong people who are now asking themselves now their political right are being taken away with the other rights that are going to be taken away next for example still has free media to some extent and Free Internet is that going to be taken away and of course a lot of the economic freedoms are also at stake so this is very dire. Had chinas resolve was severely tested last year when the protests where im to have an extradition law but it didnt move an inch what chance beijing would why even or accept anything other than exactly what president jiang wants this time there is no chance that beijing will waive. The protests that have been going on for about a year now absolutely surprised and shocked aging and she and thing has been very resolved to get hong kong there is control no matter the price and the price is going to be high its going to be hard for people its also going to be high for china on the world stage because on has always been this example or how china. Treats Foreign Countries of origin is different from from china is by all 3 cherry and structures within China Foreign tongue with certain surety that they will be treated differently this is also being taken away by this is lost so the cost is going to be high but beijing is willing to pay a year protesters have been jailed for taking part in last years marches do you think that people will take to the streets in the same numbers this time it will to take to the streets. High numbers i know not sure it was quite by numbers today but last year we had basically a 3rd of the whole population on the street one side of me hopes that will continue to show the resolve that it showed in the past and in other part of me hopes that it will not because these protests of this new law will end in tragedy or a lot of people who dared to speak.

After just over 3 months of battling the karada pandemic the u. S. Is fast approaching a serving milestone 100000 deaths to commemorate the lives lost the New York Times has raised eyebrows by dedicating its sunday front page as well as 3 inside pages to the names of nearly 1000 victims of the outbreak the piper said its meant to convey the vastness and variety of the tragedy adding that were not simply names on the list but they were. For more on that powerful tribute im joined now by a reporter paid over the dow this is a very unusual by the New York Times famous for its front pages comic photographs graphics and headlines for the ides is that well youll remember in this case Something Different just a black and white list that seemingly goes on forever as an incredibly powerful tribute doesnt it its you know the New York Times said that it was wrestling with this challenge of how do you mark a milestone this grim how do you make 100000 deaths about more than the numbers. You know theres this feeling that i think a lot of us can relate to the scale of the scale of the crisis has grown so big so fast that its almost you know its overwhelming its impossible to fathom it we keep being kind of you know bombarded with all this data section rates mortality rates reproduction numbers and so instead of just printing 100000 dots or stick figures to represent the dead the New York Times decided to comb through a bit 2 areas from across the country and gather names and stories about the victims and this is what they came up with you know its a sobering and i find very harrowing read is also a very powerful reminder that behind this incalculable loss as the New York Times puts it there are actual people you know people who are being mysteriously old and young and some who fought on the frontlines of this pandemic you know who others who spent their lives bringing others joy who love their family who love nature who love being part of this planet so really truly the full breath of who we are as a human race and thats one of the writers for the New York Times put it imagine a city of 100000 residents that were all around for new years day and now this has been wiped out wiped off the american map it was an exercise about context to give us some. It seems to have worked the 1000 names listed but only just a fraction of those whove died yeah i mean what i saw this paper it was it was almost overwhelming you have 4 pages there theyre chock full of names top to bottom and still its only a 1000 names you know thats about one percent of the nearly 100000 people who died in the u. S. The New York Times i covered all of them this is what it would really look like you know 100000 deaths over 1600000 from cases in a little over 3 months you know with a curve only slowly starting to flatten and this comes at a time the trumpet ministration has already come under a lot of fire for its response to the pending exactly i mean thats you know one of the main criticisms of the white house handling of this pandemic has been that it was too slow to respond it did not take the threat seriously from the get go and it was too slow to take Decisive Action to contain the outbreak and theres a new report out this week that seems to bear out some of that criticism basically it found that more than 80 percent of the deaths that weve seen could have been avoided if the government had just implemented social distancing measures earlier so many states have 1st began implementing lockdown measures on march 15th researchers at Columbia University found that if they imposed those measures just one week earlier more than half of the lives now lost could have been saved and if authorities had acted 2 weeks earlier now just a little over 11000 people would have been dead by mid may 3rd and thats compared with the actual number of more than 65000 dead on may 3rd so many states have now begun to relax some of these lockdown measures against the advice of some of trumps own Health Experts and you know those experts are worried that a 2nd wave could be headed for the u. S. If that happens you know the New York Times may have run out of paper if it wants to keep on paying tribute to the dead in this way its just astounding it over a little thank you so much thank you.
