This video shows must make attacking refugees trying to come ashore in greece but whos behind the assault and why is they have no outcry from the European Union. Training appear to have largely contained a call that 19 outbreak but now all floridians have been forced to order a lockdown for millions of people in its 2nd largest city of melbourne as new infections rage out of control. Blasts the battle for the last and next seasons blunder and adults hide unhide challenge favorites trade agreement and it was thrilling me close until the very last 2nd. Im to see one but. Welcome to the program on comes leader kerry lam has defended the controversial new security law that china imposed on the city last week she said it would make conkling safer by preventing violent protests she also warned citizens not to break the law so the government will break grizzly implement this law and i for one those radicals are not to attempt to while it. All crossing the red line because the consequences of breaking this law are bearing serious. Critics fear the no will and freedom of speech and as did every speech he called reports many activists the suppression of dissent will be stepped up. Colorado for years now every one has joined fellow members of his party on the 1st of july to mark hong kongs hang over to chinese troops but everything changed last week it isnt uncommon for such serious more peaceful protests to have a 100 plus police to search a dozen office i guess this will be the new normal you may never see the picture of me then hong kong is on the street like a lot because we are content not because. We are now happy with the government just because we have to upgrade to come out right back up but we were ready to go out. The swastika 1st protest seems to new security will was put in place which can see offenders go to prison for life for suppression. Several parties have now decided to spend some leading activist have fled but everything and his party are not about to follow suit. Because if for a Political Party to bow down now. To safety or to wrestle hong kong psychologically. The most often compared to go to prison for a long time we are not going to take a walk we have to do it for you but depends on the level of suppression dead we are going to face in the future there will be short term modification and transformation of activists i mean hong kong theres no doubt a strong sense of fear also in the east over support of selfcensorship has been the most common reaction just as many prodemocracy restaurants have quickly taken down declarations for political messages leaving empty mammals as a way of silent protest. Beijing in sr long a fact only a minority of lawbreakers critics say. Political activism is under threat and thats just the 1st step. Now works for an n. C. O. Based in hong kong for decades it has been advocating for labor rights across asia holcombe has been a popular hub for thousands of local and international n. G. O. S but a new law means many are now we considering their options theres a lot of them banqueting we dont know do you mean by some how may be called where Foreign Forces because we have stuff from overseas under this law we why then sure like how it will impact even the safety or in the windows staff or wallace to fret us to if we continue to receive foreign funding we have to somehow p. Pair their worst scenario down we may also consider to move to. Other countries. Beijing has played down the last intact saying in nearly plans to strengthen the management of n. G. O. S and are all the nice asians in hong kong. Even though is doing clear how the security will be implemented activists and efficacious here will have to be where they face a rocky road. Was. And one of those activists is joshua wang one of the most recognizable faces in the hong kong for Democracy Movement a Democratic Syria march and began by asking mr wong what he thought of kerry lams warning that quote radicals shouldnt violate the new deal sure if its generated by its not only part i think its even ordinary citizens of foreigners or express. By also be the prime pocket or begun to silence the voices and we strongly aware is. Right is also about the free flow of information and the free flow of capital being threatened by the law is implemented. Ok. What about you because youre a prominent face of the proDemocracy Movement to many people are watching and wondering how this affects you have you received any threats since this law was imposed. With the with the race of life sentencing were to uncertainty to china were raised all week x. And all we face of being sent to the blackout in Mainland China National Security law is that used for beijing to erode that one country 2 system to be one country wants to stop by just like modern 100000 hong kong has talked with a street on july 1st even holist banned the rally is there continue our fight in local. In hong kong at the scene we also have our friends and our sick folks local support ok but i was wondering about threats to you have you received any threats i was the i received threats from the old beijing camp since last summer during the end should be able to that but the french cant be feet even strong with determination. Your fellow activists nathan law he fled hong kong last week do you intend to stay i will continue to fight until the last minute and its also important to see for local and Global Support at the same time i will continue to campaign in the local level and nathan lol will be responsible for continued a global start barack the campaign and we wish to lead that was a pall colas being heard in the world does that mean youre planning to stay in hong kong then up because i believe youre facing charges there is a correct. With the political prosecution i just faced the court trial 24 hours ago and i still need to go to call it on 5th of august and does also imply how beijing continuing to call the haas arrest and political prosecution is that he was only 7 millions population almost 10000 people were arrested since last summer and 1600 of us were prosecuted including me while it is such a pure battle we still never give up and on the upcoming primary election on this weekend we have to set a clear signal to beijing kowtow to the communist regime is not an option for us do you think kerry has a point in saying that new security measures are needed in hong kong to avoid the massive and sometimes by let this rupture as weve seen in the past or tickle crisis a soft bottom to the system reform escalating the situation and even allowing polish to call the house or will run and override on common law system by the mainland rule by a hotline i guess thats not the way out no matter what happened was they will continue to fight for freedom and also we wish the world to know that how the race of hong kong people and expat live in the hall might be extradited to china and we might all be serving joe sentence at home and of law and required to sort this out joes and his in beijing thats the french generated by beijing live sentencing is not the things that we have imagined by activists in the previous day but thats not raise the threat generate by the communist offer what its ok the prodemocracy group used to lead a system thats been disbanded right as the security law the new security law is being imposed has beijing won. I dont want to quit my colleague mc mates wife race even i did those raise the risk of life sentencing is dozens means that some of the local bar for you need to face the same task but. We are not continue to run as the name of that was just though the activist group that we belong to we still continue our fight in the local level and local level and we wish more global allies to spend what is such critical moment because time is what playing in hong kong already just wont thank you very much for talking with us that was joshua wall an activist in hong kong and here it was hong kong and democracy activist joshua wang speaking to my colleague terry mohsin at little india lets take a look now at some of the stories making news around the. The short form video at its at the hong kong walk it off to china imposed its new security law on the city Google Facebook and twitter have already stopped taking requests for user data from hong kong the u. S. Is also looking at banning the chinese to talk which was shut down in india last week. More than a 1000000 people and residents off the japanese island off to shoot at them told to flee their homes and that really does bring the death toll from the recent downpours has risen 25240000 over media and more heavy rain is said to be on the way. Because president says hell be tested again for public 90 to having an x. Ray off his not exposing our has repeatedly ignored precautions like wearing it last and social distancing but has tested negative for cone of eyes at least 3 times missiles will 2nd hardest hit country by the pandemic thats off the u. S. If you had seen the showing last man attacking the both of migrants trying to reach grace absent all the identity of the attackers has been and yet but our own Investigations Unit and Research Collective bending have uncovered information suggesting they may have been linked to the greek close caught at the ins denies all wrongdoing we will have more from the greek minister in a moment but 1st this report by. And by. The sea off greece poses a puzzling question was a disturbing answer mol migrant boats are leaving turkey for the e. U. But on the greek island of less bust there hasnt been an increase in a rival yes. There were 19 people on this boat but that one. Is 16 year old from afghanistan soon these pictures he said it was shortly after the mosque men attacked them from endangering the boat was in requote off last boss on the 5th of june this year the boy doesnt want to be identified. For much. Much effort because 2 men have. Received they are waiting mark francis and one have nicely had to make a call on or more. The view would be why we should connect it routinely and we analyze dozens of similar reports and videos comparing them such as coastlines and the position of the sun along with information from emergency calls official reports and eyewitness accounts. Our conclusion refugees and migrants are being kept away from the greek coast at times by force it seems masked men often attack migrant boats on the open seas damaging them so they cant be steered and leaving them adrift sometimes they even actively fools the boats back into true waters a tactic known as push back. These prospects and legal entity ends to International Law but its difficult to establish for certain who these messman actually are even though the evidence of step parent. Evidence such as this video. Detailed analysis of both structures let our colleagues from the investigative platforms belling plant and light house reports to clearly identify the dingey as belonging to a greek coast guard ship. But greece denies using illegal methods the coast guard told t w. The operations conducted by a Harbor Police and hellenic coast guard are in accordance with International Law and international conventions. We also asked the European Border Agency Frontex which works closely with the greek coast guard their answer didnt refer to the incidents in question they just said all of their Border Control operations conform to the highest standards my question to context you say you dont know but how could you not know and what steps have you taken to rebut what we have as evidence. Has been watching migrants moving across the gene sea for years and has seen a rise in the number of pushbacks she has been monitoring the situation for the European Center for constitutional and human rights. The e. U. Is expected to stand up for a new law to be respected and we havent seen that we havent seen it in public statements made by representatives of the e. U. Institutions and we havent seen it in any sort of legal action that new institutions have to power to take against Member States not respected. Members of the European Parliament and the Un High Commission for refugees are demanding an official investigation they say greece has the right to defend its borders but it must do so within International Law. Our correspondent joins us now from brussels on the story hey barbara it appears that there is overwhelming evidence of these push backs essentially people being denied to come ashore which is illegal so why has there been no outcry from the ranks of the. I mean e. U. Observers here christine call the reaction of the official European Union union a deafening silence there has been some reaction now because just on this monday the European Parliament put this on the agenda and within one of its committees the commissioner for refugees over your hansen was heard and she said yes of course the European Union cannot defend its borders and at the same time violate its regulations its laws its values and so she called again for these events to be investigated the problem here is whos going to do that basically even when the when h. C. R. Last the Refugee Organization of the united nations. Few weeks ago called on greece to investigate these events it is it ends up with greece investigating itself the European Union simply has no prosecutor it doesnt have a police it doesnt have simply have the the possibilities to do this in an active manner and so this is something that sort of turns in itself and im sure we get to of infringement procedure would takes a long time we are just sort of running in circles. In a company of what im hearing but ok so why is the e. U. Having so much trouble agreeing on a common refugee policy and a common aside and policy. That is quite simple because it is the most toxic issue ever in the European Union its even worse than talking about money since the refugee socalled refugee crisis in 2015 this has been sort of kicked up in the round in the boat and seen some Eastern European countries foremost hungary blocking every attempt to find a common solution and other countries hide behind that and say ok if they dont participate were not going to take in people every attempt at a redistribution offer if it g. s relocation of refugees whatever on a communal level failed state have been some single incidences where a group of the willing has said ok well take some people in this is a big who military an issue at the moment we need to solve it but in the end this is no closer to a serious real and serious solution than it was 5 years ago and it seems like a relatively hopeless case where barbara stand by for a bit because the greek immigration and minister that will be. It archie he talked i sit here today and pointed out the lack of solidarity within the e. U. Lets have a quick listen to him there is not sufficient support for relocating people from the front like stage to the rest of europe we currently have 801000. You understand with your son services thats a huge burden for our company thats a big number would be most of or for other plan to be used to help us with Asylum Seekers and refugees but at the same time you understand most European Companies are not actively participating in a mechanism for the location because im a huge huge. Bobert so whats been the easiest response to the demands that the greek government is making. Theyre going to throw up their hands like theyve done in the past was italy i mean same problems there weve seen it i mean the whole right wing populist Good Development in italy was fueled by this like off solidarity and yes it is there it is it exists its a simple truth a European Countries are not willing to take in the relatively large numbers and take refugees off the front line countries hands and theyre not they havent done it and theyre not likely to do it in the future so this situation is just simply standing still and it is not likely to be resolved and that is what creates things and events like these push backs because the front line countries then think we have to help ourselves and we create these very nasty events in incidents that are after all illegal but it is not the political fault off the countries that are involved in it it is the fault of the whole European Union in a way right thats paul reveres and in brussels thank you for. The current virus and then we could push when 1000000000 people into world wide that is the grim for cost of 1. 00 of germanys largest aid organizations on the hill for has launched a 2 Year Campaign to support 5000000 of the worlds poorest people the charity says it needs to raise 100000000 euros to help those who situation has worsened because of that and. Were now joined by that she is secretary general of the German Charity vult if a welcome to you mr molder youll organization stays up to a 1000000000 people could be pushed into hunger by by this pandemic tell us how. People are already suffering from the consequences of Climate Change they are suffering from the consequences of wars of conflicts the coronavirus the corona and. Make is now excellent rating is. Increasing the chance the more people fall into the trap so its actually accelerating the situation which is already there. Right given that where does your organization stated goal to achieve 0 hunger by 2030 stand. Well unfortunately the number of hungry people is increasing since the year 2015 so were at the moment its 80200 its 800000000000 people who are suffering from hunger so what we fear now is that there are actually more people. Becoming hungry because of that because of the consequences of the lock down situations because many people feel that now the for example prices for food creasing people cannot feed their families anymore the transport facilities are. Disrupted therefore people have to pay a lot more for their food and thats thats thats an astonishing number 800000000 people going hungry. At the at the release of your organizations and your report earlier today an appeal was made not to leave the worlds poorest countries. To deal with this crisis do you see wealthier countries richer countries coming together to support the countries that need help. Well germany has increased its aid for many developing countries 1550000000 euros more to be spent for to believe 8 the consequences of the quran off and then make i think thats thats a good sign we hope that other countries will also follow in particular the European Union who have also shown signs to step up their aid to developing countries this is very much needed bow in order to alleviate the consequences i just described yeah all right mathias know the secretary general of the belt on the hill so thats one of germanys Biggest Charities thank you israel.
