With Legal Process to support him 3 months on from devastating chemical explosion, the lebanese Capital Building we hear the story of 5 brothers and sisters who all of hong kongs prodemocracy lawmakers have resigned in protest after the territories government disqualified 4 of their colleagues that way and that decision came minutes after the chinese polland passed a resolution allowing carry law to expel legislators without having to go through the courts. And using this recently moved to clamp down on opposition, voices in hong kong by imposing a National Security law. After months of antigovernment protests rocked the city. Last year. I learned today that the squad, one of the 4 pro democracy and peace, the Hong Kong Government has expelled, gave his opinion to d. W. On callums. That reason for this decision, i think the one country 2 Systems Design all the original spirit of it. If any is now gone and im free that the Constitutional Order what we supposed. Ready to have the example the separation of powers it on call is also finished because with this law, they cheat, executive could basically pick off any legislator that she doesnt like this week could be next week. It could be someone else. So i think the Constitutional Order that we are rich and we enjoy it and believe that we have is now gone. Well, they doubly correspondent phebe kong has been following events from taiwan. Welcome phoebe. What was carry lymes justification for dismissing the original phone lawmakers . Well, one of the most controversial parts of that is qualification is that asians have taken and chosen an extraordinary path to achieve is saying. So if by making a decision and definition in facing a set of late lessons or math to be resolved in a local. Ringback level in hong kong, and that has been actually there is existing, the chasm in hong kong to unseat a lawmaker. But now the resolution simply and powers the whole congo coop ministrations and see if anyone they see that and then joining National Security. So thats why some of the legal experts and also politicians, opposition activists saying that, seize this opportunity route and thats why would her sense cost that this could be anyone in the future to be unseated . I think governments and tell them tonight, such accusations saying that this is totally constitutional and legal because the beijing Health Legislation has the power to interpret and to clarify the law. And despite the fact that she actually didnt give any specific documents and africans of that socalled climb of the house, hey, how theyve all this is national, let the truth, he let principle, she refers to the time that those all along because were this close i phone banned from running for office in july and so thats why they shouldnt be allowed to stay in office. Well, ok, so with no prodemocracy lawmakers left in hong kongs legislature does not mean the end of the fight for democracy in the territory. This is indeed a major setback for the hold opposition came because as we know, late after the imposition of the National Security now we can hardly see any kind of massive street protest and after the sum to be carried on to lie on the streets. Because people were too afraid, and mr. Coney, all these socalled took home, you know, rules like its eternity across the pond whos cheating with me. And i stood activist. But now without the, the how mentions inside the chamber. It actually leaves the Opposition Movement even more vulnerable. I think way that most of the m. P. s we have spoken to, they remain quite like cautiously optimistic this and theyre going to return community and to possibly maybe theyre closer into running for the next election there, which is this phone from next year. But isnt china likely to welcome the self removal of these people who presumably he regards as troublemakers or beijing abilities in hong kong and also lecturing them. And her ministrations didnt directly respond to the like the mass resignation . Not the opposition coming back and saying that this is their own choice. Well look at the response from the chinese authorities. And they are saying that this move they made today is to ensure that only patriots can play so inside the hong kong political institution. And by that sand and by the resignation of ho oxygen came late in some way they have achieved what they thought there was. Thank you for that. They dont become smaller. Phoebe kong in time the European Commission has signed a deal to secure up to 300000000 doses of a covered 19 vaccine developed by germany. And the u. S. Pharmaceutical giant pfizer commission presenters who were found alive has described this as the most promising vaccine. So far, the drugs makers say its more than 90 percent effective against the virus vaccine been undergoing trials involving thousands of people in many countries. We get more data because from the Marina Strauss in brussels. Welcome marina. How significant is the steel fail or you just said it, it is the most promising vaccine so that you commission that you also want to show to citizens. Yeah, you will get this too. And we also heard this vaccine is being produced by are being developed by a german company. So an e. O. Company, so that you clearly wants to have its fair share of this fix seen as well. But Health Commissioner selig said like youd actually has also said today of the press conference, this vaccine or any other vaccine is not a Silver Bullet for coal waves. Were still have to, well have to cope with this disease even if we have it seems ok. So the e. U. Puts in this order for 300000000 doses. How does it get distributed within the block . If it gets approved . Officials said today the country will get its share and that it will be distributed according to population size. But there are also many questions that still have to be answered 1st. So for example, the europes own medical agency will have to accept this, this vaccine. And there are still a carrot, he just was very reluctant today to point out a clear time lunch is that if you look at it positively, maybe early 2021. And what we also know is that health care or health in general is a national matter. So its you states themself who will decide who gets to vic scene, and not the e. U. But in other countries or regions of the world. Its likely that the vaccine will be given out to elderly, to the health care workers, and to most vulnerable groups. 1st, politically, the pandemic has prompted Big Commission to consider a new response just to consider the sorts of things theyre looking at. You know, Commission ProposedHealth Care Union today, and this is not very, very concrete. Yet this idea that the general to strengthen corporation coordination when it comes to covert 19 and to other Health Emergencies we could was because what we have been seeing during this crisis in europe is like a member state has been wrecked in different view. Their response was very chaotic and not very coordinated and they, you, once this to change in the case of coverage 19, but also in future emergency cases, they want to improve the situation. And under this new regulation, one option could be to declare an e. U. Level public emergency, which is not possible at the moment. Structures in brussels. Thank you.
