New security laws needed to deal with what they say is the higher threat but opponents are staging. That the wall signals the end to Hong Kong Special status plus. The british Prime Minister himself walked down travel for minister Boris Johnson refuses to sack him and. Making rules that dont necessarily apply. To our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome the German Government is throwing a 9000000000 euro to the airline giant. Has been locked in talks for weeks now with berlin nailing down the terms of the bailout to survive the coronavirus travels slump if all goes through the deal will be the largest german corporate rescue since the crisis began. Lufthansas airplanes sit motionless on the airfield in frankfurt their engines covered in plastic its an image that symbolizes the weeks of standstill the company experienced during the corona crisis with hardly any flights or passengers or revenue but now the German Government will be helping with an emergency relief package worth 9000000000 euros after a long fight over the deals fine print an agreement has finally been reached we want to make sure that germany maintains its leading position in the field of Civil Aviation its about helping a company thats rich in tradition get through the difficulties they were confronted with during the corona pandemic and steer towards a more healthy future. Over the last few weeks there if you airplanes took off or landed the majority of those that did were cargo planes thousands of lives tons of employees have been worrying about their jobs the German Government is set to receive a 20 percent share in lufthansa in exchange for giving the airline billions of euros in aid to government representatives will also get seats on the airline Supervisory Board both parties are waiting for the European Unions approval before the deal is finalized. And my colleague. Here with me. Ok weve got this deal what does it mean for we looking at a leaner meaner. Wall yes once this whole debacle is over with we can tell when that will be but even weeks ago before this whole aid package was on the table or talks about it or being conducted. One of the crisis is over the company is going to look much different than the time when the crisis started so we can fairly assume itll be smaller theyll be less people working for them. Yes planes flying and it will be as you said leader yes the basic terms of this agreement we know they were agreed to last week why did it take. So long then to finalize the details it was a struggle over how much influence the state would get for the money it would give live tons of because most times i was very keen on not allowing politicians to make Business Decisions but it was clear that without the money without the 9000000000. 00 euro almost 10000000000. 00 lifeline of tonnes of was likely to go under so were talking about 9000000000. 00 euros for live tongues a pick that number apart and then youre going to need x. Theres going to be 3000000000 euros in the form of loans 300000000 euros. Will be given to live tons in return for x. Or that it gives out for the state told and which leaves us with 5700000000 which is just a direct injection of cash by the government from taxpayers money put into a special fund that has been put up in order to tackle the economic fall of the corona crisis take the money from that 100000000000 euro fund take 5. 7 of it and give it to them and what does the government getting out of this well if everything goes as planned fewer people are unemployed thats certainly an important factor even though as you said look is likely to look leaner after this crisis itll keep a Company Going that is a symbol of german wealth and prosperous and has been for decades. And get a 20 percent stake in live tonnes up which can be. Can be grown to 25 percent plus one share in order and thats an important figure 25 percent plus one share in order to block any sort of take over from another airline from another company so they can be increased and in the end. There are many finance minister says well hopefully once this all is over we are going to sell the lufthansa shares that we have with a small profit and you know well see about that get the money back you know i mean i guess is a case of its there to begin to traditional to fill in a stumbling block that could block take off of this agreement yes the European Commission as is often the case needs to give it stands up and it has already said to very suspicious things here one is. The the. German the lufthansa needs to reportedly give up slots take off and landing rights. In frankfurt munich all for the sake of competition and that is something that doesnt go down well with a chance for america you dont have any business to competitors by the company the state has invested in now along with the fact that the e. U. Wants an exit strategy for from the German Government from this plan.

Hong kongs a security chief says that terrorism in the territory is on the increase after Police Arrested 180. 00 protesters during renewed unrest tens of thousands of people took to the streets to demonstrate against a planned National Security law that they say will undermine the chinese territories civili autonomous status. The last traces of protests are swept away 24 hours earlier hong kong streets were packed with people rallying against beijings proposed security laws and the stakes could not be higher for the territorys future. Yeah yeah that would hire a lot of people think that we exploited their freedom when coming out to protest. But i think the National Security no ill effects our freedom in the future and the freedom of future generations a morning like its not. Yet on the country. The scenes on sunday werent echo of last years mass protests after months of calm during the coronavirus emergency protesters came out again beijings proposed new Security Framework for the territory they fear it would mean the further curtailing of hong kong is right to protest International Critics say the legislation would also be a breach of the territorys one country 2 systems basic law in a joint statement organized by hong kongs last colonial governor chris patten more than 200. 00 law and policy makers from around the world have joined in. This is a comprehensive assault on the citys autonomy rule of law and fundamental freedoms the integrity of one country 2 systems hangs by a thread if the International Community cannot trust beijing to keep its word when it comes to hong kong people will be reluctant to take its word on other masses beijing has been playing down the significance of the proposed law for hong kongs autonomy while warning Foreign Policy against meddling with my town. And i want to stress that hong kong is Chinas Hong Kong Hong Kong Affairs surely chinas domestic it is is within chinese sovereign rights to determine when how and what legislation to put on hong kong if. The National Congress is expected to rubber stamp the new legislation later this week analysts think it marks the greatest reform to beijings relationship with hong kong since china to control of the territory. And for more now im joined by the German Parliamentarian yang saying she is following the latest developments in hong kong she is chair of the human rights and humanitarian Aid Committee in the German Parliament the bundestag its good to have you on the program how kongs protesters they have turned back to the streets do you think their anger about this new security law and is it appropriate. Well good evening to berlin yes it is definitely appropriate when we see and take a look at the proposed National Security law that will be passed and im very certain that it will be passed on thursday by a Standing Committee off the National Peoples congress we see that the principles of freedom and the promise of one country 2 systems not only hangs by a thread but it will be breached the under compare and thats why i think it is necessary for the hong kong. To take to the streets again to protest and to fight for their freedoms definitely on your social Media Channels you are demanding consequences if beijing imposes this new law what would those consequences look like. Well the 1st consequence for germany and im very im very angry actually on with regard to the reactions are the non reactions of chancellor merkel and our foreign secretary our foreign minister heikal moscow thats just consequence would be to condemn these actions by beijing the 2nd consequence would be that we need to talk about sanctions individual sanctions that can directly link to Human Rights Violations to k. P. Officials that are directly. Linked to the security laws that will be passed and the european government needs to talk about everything when it comes to china and e. U. Contracts that human rights need to be in trying to potential contracts museum so let me just ask you mention economic sanctions do you think its realistic to expect the German Government or the European Union to even to threaten economic sanctions right now with your being in a major recession and trying to deal with the consequences of the pandemic. Well in my opinion it is it is crucial to link it cannot make freedom to freedom in society you the 2 can only go together and thats what we are also saying with the f. T. P. With within our Opposition Party at the moment if there was a breach of contract a breach in the agreement and the report said that before if china doesnt Pay Attention and doesnt. Reach these principles that they agreed upon they might be likely to breach of a contract and thats an economic question definitely and this just is or nice of you and this trust is not there at the moment yes and im sure youre aware there are Many Companies that say that china is in breach of many contracts already. In a member of the German Parliament so we appreciate your time and your insights tonight thank you thank you. Youre watching the news in still to come russias top ballet performers pushed off stage by the pandemic t w news is finding out how theyre coping and how theyre keeping instead its coming up short. Dominic coming steve advisor to british Prime Minister Boris Johnson has defended his decision to leave london during the coronavirus lockdown today at a press conference cummings salt to justify why he made a more than 400 kilometer journey to his parents home and other allegations after the measures had been imposed he says that he has not considered resigning from his position. I think that i think that what i did was actually reasonable in these. In these circumstances. In terms of the routines i think that the i think the the rules make clear that if youre dealing with small children then that could be that can be exceptional circumstances and i think that situation that i was in was exceptional circumstances and i think the way that i dealt with it. Was the least risk to everybody concerned if my wife and i had both been unable to look after our 4 year old. Because im sure many people in the u. K. Would say the they were also in exceptional circumstances in that lockdown the talk about that and more im joined by my colleague here joel garreau he is following this story for us joe how did cummings how does he defend his actions well he said that the law is allowed for exceptions and that his circumstances were exceptional he and his wife were worried that they had contracted coronavirus and were concerned about what would happen to their 4 year old son they thought they couldnt find childcare in london so they drove across the country to his familys farm to get help there while there he says i didnt have close contact with anyone else including his parents and they took a day trip to a nearby castle town now he says that was in order to test his eyesight because his eyesight had deteriorated with the illness but he maintains he didnt do anything wrong and in fact he read out the part of the law that he says was his loophole follow this advice to the best of your ability was what the governments lockdown rule says and thats what he believes he did made no apology and he said that the media with the blame for whipping up anger now of course is in stark contrast to the governments own message at the time he said stay at home and theyre also laws against traveling to other cities but dominick coming says those laws will always for example anyway and its hard to imagine that these special a bunch of the british Prime Minister would not be able to find child killer in london its amazing so whats been the response on social media well this is brought out some fresh anger and a bit of ridicule hes being mocked especially since he went for a drive while believing he had poor eyesight which seems both dangerous and illegal and in fact this press conference is being walk into a car crash we can have a look at some of the tweets that have come out since that press conference a few hours ago theres anger amongst those who did have by the rules if you had not seen your grandparents while they were lonely crying and desperate not held the hands of loved ones while dying you should have used your instincts and. In the rules one critic tweeted doctors and nurses who risked their lives managed to sort out childcare while you needed to drive 260 miles to get your words now cummings does retain support from some of his callback is such as at break that steve who tweeted that he had provided a credible explanation for his actions and there are others who say that this is a distraction from the real disaster thats still going on the government has failed end of can we now go back to talking about who should be held responsible for the 36000. 00 dead and counting and theres also a bridge that we cant forget about breaks it you could argue that the Prime Minister needs cummings as much as cummings needs the Prime Minister right now so is anything going to change well coming sir. At the behest of Boris Johnson who has given him his full support in fact johnson gave another press conference shortly after cummings did and said that he retains that support now of course johnson doesnt have to worry about Public Opinion either because the next election is not for another 4 and a half years the real concern here is among Public Health experts who say that the lockdown message itself has been undermined now that all britons know that the rules are flexible and this at a time when the u. K. Continues to have one of the worst infection and death rates from coronavirus anywhere in the world you know a case of do as we say not as we do Jill Dougherty jill thank you.
