Also coming up kenyas anti coronavirus prescription for the homeless a serving of glue and jet fuel every morning for breakfast. Welcome to the program we begin in hong kong where riot police have fired pepper pellets at prodemocracy protesters and arrested more than 300. 00 people demonstrators were out on the streets to protest a newly proposed a bill that criminalizes disrespect for chinas National Anthem hong kong lawmakers are expected to pass the law next month. Thousands of hong kong. Residents defied Police Orders and took to the streets demonstrating for their independence and against chinas efforts to tighten its grip on the semi autonomous region the protesters for met by a Strong Police force which fired pellets filled with pepper to disperse the crowds and arrested hundreds one of the residents concerned a bill threatening anyone who disrespect the chinese National Anthem with up to 3 years in prison. Im worried about the National Anthem law i know it will pass in the Legislative Council because pro stablished that lawmakers have a majority there. I came to hong kong from Mainland China when i was young so i know about the darkness of china im worried china will impose its standards and its system on hong kong. Protesters want to express their outrage not only against the National Anthem law but also against the new National Security law imposed by the Chinese Government the full text of the legislation has yet to be published but it has raised International Alarm over freedoms in the city. Among kong security chief defended the measures on Chinese State television. When it is necessary and important to establish a Legal Framework and enforcement mechanism for safeguarding National Security and the Hong Kong SpecialAdministrative Region at state level this will be conducive to the long term stability and prosperity of hong kong and also helpful in safeguarding the legitimate rights and freedoms of hong kong residents young and call for action. But thats exactly what the protesters fear hong kong will loose the freedoms and Civil Liberties secured when the former british colony was handed back to china in 1997 they are meant to remain in place for at least another 2 decades beijing brands the matter and internal chinese affair but the leader of hong kong. Prodemocracy civic party is calling on the International Community for help. Your money has long be a member of the free world we share the same values we share the same liberty and freedom and now when china is trying to take this away from paul call we expect the rest of the well speak out for us despite social distancing rules resistance against beijings attempt to tighten its grip on hong kong this growing fiercer protests are likely to continue in the coming days. Amid the protests u. S. Secretary of state my pump aoe notified congress that the Trump Administration no longer considers hong kong to be autonomous from Mainland China the announcement could end the Asian Financial hubs special trade status with the u. S. China said the move was interfering in what it calls a domestic matter heres what pompei o had to say hong kong does not continue to warn treatment on the United States laws in the same manner as u. S. Laws were applied to hong kong before july 997 no reasonable person can assert today that hong kong maintains a high degree of autonomy from china given facts on the ground. Lets get more now from all over salad whos in washington all over what does this notification from the secretary of state actually mean. Well you know what mike pump aoa saying here essentially is that if beijing puts this socalled National Security law in place then hong kong would no longer be a free territory in the u. S. Could then move ahead and there are special trade and economic relations that theyre currently having with hong kong now and the Trump Administration went on and curtailing their relations and this would be of course a major blow for hong kong but not only for hong kong also for Mainland China which is relying heavily on hong kong for trade for other transactions too with other countries so reportedly now the United States is planning to impose the same terrorists on exports coming from hong kong as there are currently imposing on experts exports from Mainland China and that would certainly lead into a situation where hong kong suddenly would face the same punitive tariffs the chinas facing now this is ultimately a congressional decision so how is this announcement being received so far by u. S. Lawmakers whether republican or democratic. Or trumps allies are applauding of course senator Lindsey Graham 1st and foremost calling for the senate to enact penalties against china but there hasnt been much of an opposition coming from the democrats on this in fact the speaker of the house of representatives nancy pelosi already a couple days ago called beijings plans deeply alarming she said china was disrespecting the rule of law so we are looking at a very rare situation where it seems that both parties are actually on the same page. Did abuse washington correspondent all over salad and keeping to the United States the 1000 death toll has passed the 100000 mark higher than any other country the u. S. Also leads another grim tally the number of people infected with the virus is 1700000 confirmed cases despite those numbers all 50 states have either slowly been opening their economies or have announced plans to do so within the week President Trump has been pushing for the country to get back to business as usual as soon as possible.
