An action is essential to being able to condemn the actions of violent offices. Many believe the law which applies to both journalists and citizens will lead to a sense of impunity, of police at demonstrations that often turn violent. I know friends who are really scared to go to demonstrations because of the violence, the rubber bullets and the tear gas used by police. And the one thing that protects us is taking a video. The law wants to protect Police Officers so that they can hit people without consequence. Jorma used journalists have been hit and injured by police, especially in the last couple of years. And until now, the Police Version of events could be question thanks to images and videos. Really believe what campaigners here fear that the new security law could have a Chilling Effect on press freedom. They say that of citizens and journalists are dissuaded from filming the police. It may make it harder to hold certain officers to account. The french government, however, says the law is necessary to protect Police Officers in the line of duty. The countrys Largest Police union, which has been pushing for the law, agrees with the government. Davida, olivier revathi says indiscriminate posting of images of offices, especially on social media, has led to a dangerous backlash. Today, several of our colleagues of victims of had a small they or their families are threatened. In certain low income neighborhoods, even find walls with the names of Police Officers saying that their daughter or their wife would be raped. Its completely unacceptable. The new law can protect and put a stop to this recent terror attacks and growing unrest. The protests have prompted the french government to take a harder line on security. But the proposed law is only expected to deepen divisions and fanned further mistrust between the police and the public. And we can join us on in our car now where she is. Shes joining us from paris. So sonia 1st, of all, why is this law being proposed right now . Well, larry king, the country atmosphere in france certainly plays a role. You know, the recent terror attacks and the growing unrest, violence and demonstrations. All that pleaseth ordered and has really pushed the government to take a hard line on security dot com. Teachers here, however, who want to say the domestic politics was wrong. They say the question mark wrong is, you know, with the stop the stance that security is trying to get to voters on the right before the next president ial election, which, which gets under way in less than a year at the heart. So i think those are real concerns here in france, but i think the french government for its part has really defended this bill, saying that the aid is to protect Police Officers and particularly their families and stop them from being targeted in online campaigns. And now as you have been reporting and weve, we watched your report, there has been a lot of pushback, particularly from their reporters unions. This bill, if i understand correctly, would make it a crime if you circulate or fell a police officer. But who gets to decide whether the picture that you talk or the footage that you filmed was intended to harm police . Well learned, that is exactly the problem. You know, there are Rights Groups here and that includes frances own human rights watchdog who say that this particular throws in the bill. Article 24 is very problematic because its big and its open to interpretation and its difficult to pools. And the real question here is how courts would determine whether, you know, images that were published or stood were really published with the intent to cause harm. So i think there is, there is a lot of concern or that there is ultimately the problem here is also how journalists would cover demonstrations and protests and hold, you know, certainly officials accountable for their actions. But to be clear, this is also not only about journalists law applies to citizens as well. And that experts here will say that a lot of video footage, which is, you know, filmed by passers by impulse to the social media, even before the, the Mainstream Media reports. And it has led in the past, in france to cases of police brutality. Coming to the fore and the fear is your proof that just maybe very that just maybe harder if this bill becomes law. Now the bill is scheduled to come before votes in the parliament, so members of parliament will be voting as a whole on the bill as a whole on tuesday. So i mean, will they get a green light . Is this a done deal . Now . I think it will take some time before we actually know whether that becomes law in the last week. For instance, we saw a lot of heated debate in the French Parliament over this particular aspect with lots of m. P. s from, you know, left parties and centrist parties. Was a lot of concerns about this impact of this clause on press freedom. But ultimately that article, you know, was approved after a statement was added same that ganti the right to inform. But i think all of this has not eased the concerns of gabby ners here. And we are definitely likely to see more protests against this proposed law in the coming days in paris, and as well as not the principles i have on the car of reporting from the french capital paris. Thank you. Well next to some football for you. Now when the going to sleep on sunday, mines picked up their 1st win of the season with a 31 victory over fellow strugglers, 5 board or french striker. My tits out was the hero for the your way side scoring all 3 of their goals. Yeah, and maurice least is struggling mines. Arrived in freiburg looking for a change in fortunes. Much would depend on the form of join the strikers. 4 goals in 7 games. The only bright spots in a terrible start to the campaign, and metate to show his worth with less than 2 minutes on the clock. The frenchman charging clear before slotting hunk only one nil to the visitors. Potato was on hand again to make it 2 nil in the 34 minutes prior book keeper, florian muller, making it far too easy for the frenchman, but say to completed a stunning 1st half hat trick. 5 minutes later, the titanfall causing no problems for the red hawks, 23 year old franco got one back in the 2nd half prevention strike. And neils pieces in the 4th and final goal scored at the busy end of the pitch 31. 00 intended 3 goals from a tater and a valuable 3 points for minds. And cologne are still looking for their 1st one to sleep. When the season they lost 21. 00 at home at seward, berlin on sunday, secured all 3 points for the visitors. The German International was grateful to score after his penalty was saved. Well, you were on your own had taken an early lead, only for cologne to draw level before half time results moves up to the place where for balls governing body fifa has banned the head of the game in africa from all football duties for 5 years. Because of corruption, ahmed ahmed firm, madagascar had been hoping to win a 2nd term as African Confederation president in march. He says Ethics Committee found him guilty on a host of charges and looting, offering and accepting gifts. And the misappropriation of funds meant it was supported by president johnny frontino. During his 27 election campaign, he could appeal the ban to the court of arbitration for sport. Now its regarded as the toughest race in sailing. The van de go, well this year some 33. 00 solo skipper sets sail for france among them the 1st german to ever compete in the event. And while navigating nonstop around the world, hes not only fighting the elements. Hes also helping science to better understand global warming. I know in a sailboat against the elements forest hammond is the 1st german effort to compete in the bond a global the so nonstop race around the world is racing vessel. A state of the art sailboats with wings gets free health and right now were mostly flying. Were just touching the water without oil and a little bit with the stern. Its aggressive and powerful. And in no way romantic. 2 weeks ago, 33 boats set out from france, 27 men 6 women selling 45000 kilometers, often state using autopilot. But outside help is bound to on a cause heading around the cape of good hope. After that, then talk to ocean awaits them with the icy temperatures and waves as high as houses. Its a 70 to 80 day solo right around the globe. Finally, the deadly cape horn. Before racing back to france at speeds of up to 75 kilometers per hour. Only around half of the competitors will make it to the finish line. It leaves only the one when they only live in the moment anyway, and i try not to think about how far ive still got to go. When you look at my progress on a map and i look like im calling along at an excruciating the slow, snails pace around the world. But when i look at the surface of the water at them, im moving pretty quickly. So i made fritz while the races. 1st storms cropped up early. Unlike a few of the other competition favorites, herman was able to bypass them unscathed, surrounded by roaring noise, snatching sleep only a few minutes at a time. This is what he has spent years training for. Hes able to move loads weighing several times with the help of police to trim the huge sales spanning 2 tennis courts. His but maybe jam packed with high tech, but hes the one who has to navigate his way through the wind and rain. The paks leaders have completed around a 3rd of the route, hammon shown as the great boats in this animation has maneuver to see explore a vessel to 6th place, but also doing his bit for science, a little troubled waters. This research boy is set to record data on global warming. Ok with me and i find that sailing is a great metaphor for the power of nature and natures energy, which i think we should be trying to harness such as an other areas like wind energy for example. And why not have cargo ships with sails . You know, who are going to fox or on this sail as endeavor, great distances, dreams and goals lie ahead of him or is a hello move on day globe. Its a journey hell be on until at least the middle of january. Good luck to have our stick around with you that we do. Spirits manager is up next after a very short break and ill see you again at the top of the hour for the world headlines for now. Thank you for spending part of your day with us. Smartphones in the dark. Dark mode is meant to protect our lives, preserve our batteries, and help us sleep better. But researchers arent convinced the book in the dark old really do the budget. In 60 minutes on t w carefully observed to be a good match to discover the lead. Subscribe to the documentary on this for me is for me to ask for help beethoven is for is for the beethoven is for us, is for beethoven 2020, the 250th anniversary year on you. This is a show coming up today and admission of guilt for the test of hong kongs democratic movement. Prodemocracy activists, joshua long and 2, others are detained after admitting guilt over involvement with the protests. But in the face of an increasingly assertive beijing, where does that leave hong kongs protest movement plus the humble stamp that science most official documents in japan. But not the one called has become a stumbling block for the switch to home office during the day. Im damn right. Im british manager. Welcome to news asia. Glad you could join us. Leading hong kong prodemocracy campaigner joshua wong and 2 others could be facing long jail terms after pleading guilty to protest charges. The 3 were taken into custody in hong kong earlier today. Wong and fellow activists, ivan lamb and agnes cho had been charged with organizing, participating in and inciting demonstrators during a protest outside Police Headquarters last june. They could be facing up to 5 years in prison. This is what was said. As he appeared in court. What we are doing now is to explain the well freedom to the world through our compassion, the home we love so much that we are willing to sacrifice the freedom of our home. Im told ive been in charge of walking free. This case would draw the world at pension, could operate power of the criminal justice system. Impartiality is not a ploy by paging crackdown and the systematic financing. Incredibly for more, im joined on prodemocracy activist law. Isnt welcome. Does the rest of joshua wong, you think, symbolize the end of hong kongs proDemocracy Movement . Well, i dont think its symbolized the end of the pull to receive it. But it reinforce the end of one country 2 system. So authorities want to see movement because and those and ifas arrests, these political persecution from the government and then just legal system that inclines to prosecute and suppress prodemocracy activists. So its basically unchanged people because they speak truth to sit freedom and democracy. But the same things were said when hong kongs or succumb to law was introduced. Were back in june. That is the end of the one country 2 systems principle. And this is been said over the last year as well. Why is it special now . And what is the way forward now for the, for Democracy Movement in hong kong . Yeah, i think we all agree that the sweet paying pal of the National Security lawyer makes hong kongs freedom just a lucian for now. So i guess thats the reason why i set a reinforcement of the notion of the end of one time tree to system. Because it really shows that the government has set of legal weapons that can be used to practice it. Prosecute people and we have lost our freedom of speech and assembly. So on the role moving forward. I think its important that we try our best to say got the freedoms that we have left. And we have to defend the professional values in journalism. In could be me, i know education in order to receive these grave threats from chinese authorities say. But how do you do that . Theres a law there appears to be virtually no need to provision left in hong kong for these it games to be pursued. How do you different freedom of assembly . How do you defend for the right to protest, hard to defend the freedom of the press . I think on the only one hand, the International Effort is what we become a very important notion for us to really strive for larger pressure in internationally on chinese human rights alesha. And in order for them to retract that i found approaches in fuchsia. And on the other hand, in hong kong, double talk, a recent resistance in the battle of use of these professional be used, for example of a cation journalism journalist trying to report the truth and test the red line, bottom line, lots of governments. And they have a legal proceeding in that and every goss and putting pressure on de chine ceased, i think, much more subtle, but also a very important notion about a future to fight for. In the future. You have spoken about International Efforts against the Chinese Government in support of the people of hong kong. In fact, you spoke about this the last time you were in berlin. You were in the stored studio and you said the world needs to build a Court Coalition of defending Democratic Values to tackle chinese actions in hong kong and other regions such injuring. Do you see that Coalition Building . Indeed we can see the trend of it a lot more countermeasures from especially you create countries off to the implementation of the National Security law for old european countries. A belief thing, they should the shin treaty with your home call and extending the arms embargo and also the european sanctioning mckennas them is coming out from the European Union. I hope that it could be applied to Chinese Office shows at home call to shows who are responsible for the humerus all asian. So i guess the trend is quite all of us. The European Union is not going back to a very benign relationship. Was china and i think we just need to celebrate that consensus, consensus building process and make sure that democracies see china threats and stop them from infiltrating and expanding authoritarian expansion nature. Theres no real evil there, but the timing of thank you so much for joining us. Thank you so much. Traditional ink stamps are used to sign everything from delivery receipts, to matted, sort of forgotten. And thats led to an Office Culture that remains heavily dependent on paper documents difficult to transition to in home office during the push to digitize the nation and phase out the stamp faces an uphill struggle in a country famed for its technology. The land of the bullet train, there are still some things that move at a slower pace than japan. To get digitalisation, the printer and piles and piles of paper remain staples of the japanese office. And so too does this. The hanko, a c. E. O. Used to sign up for an official documents. Some documents require multiple stamps, going up the chain of command. We have 5000 names and seals on file. We have to find the hanko and then stand. And if something is stamped in correctly, then its a huge problem. And then we have to file them all back again to the court to tell us that the practice is even the parts of jokes on japanese television, repetitive strain, injury, anyone that has come under scrutiny. Juror in the coronavirus pandemic with reports of employees being unable to work from home because of having to stamp documents in the office. Of course, some in japan are also proud of the tradition which came from china more than a 1000 years ago. Each handmade stamp is unique. Parents often give them to their children as a coming of age gift. They were going or bonuses for by the even if the c. E. O. Of the made in the same forms. They carry the personality of each craftsman who spends a long time creating them while consulting with clients. That means that each hanko stop naturally is unique in the world. But even hanko support is recognize the need to modernize. And i dont think we need to adjust ourselves to new styles. New areas, though, its a challenge because lots of industries have disappeared because they couldnt keep up with the speed of change. We need to take on the challenge and continue our business. So our industry wont disappear. One of them the government wants to limit the use of seals for select instances. Digital signatures will also be an option, but itll probably be a while yet before the hanko is stamped out for good. And joining us for more, this is called, shes a Management Consultant and educator focused on Cross Cultural communications in japan. Why is the uncle stand so hard to move golf in japan . Oh, its a tradition in so many work process that in order to eliminate hunger use, youd have to change the entire workflow. Speaking of these things being eliminated and what process is that you break it down for us . Does it actually slow down Decision Making and business processes . Well, it does require, so let me physically in a location. So a lot of decisions do you get to wade when someone is traveling or not in the office because theyre not there to put their stamp on an important decision document. But how would that be different to actually physically being present to sign off on documents . Its similar is if youre waiting for someone to have a physical same thing. Sure as well and be the same in some paper based process. And i think that theres 2 types of things that tend to require hunk. Oh, what is internal Decision Making process is . And the other is external in matters such as contracts and filing of government forms. Do people think that its perhaps time to change . I think definitely people think its time to change. Well interestingly, the 1st electronic signature law in japan came about in the year 2001. So it stands nearly 20 years that japan has been trying to make this shift. But i think the coronavirus has really accelerated it, because so many people were working at home, trying to stay safe, both finding that they had to go into the office in order to stamp papers. And so that made people realize this just doesnt make sense anymore. And speaking of the coronavirus christ, as opposed to running this time, wasnt it . The last Prime Minister shinzo promised a review of the use of fungal stamps for bureaucracy. How far has a good view come . Oh, actually its, it has made some progress because the new Prime Minister mr. Sit down recently stepped into that role has made it a priority to be reforming administrative matters. And so there is now a minister in charge of that. And theres also someone in charge of digitisation specifically, and the new administrator for minister and mediately said sites on the hunk 0 and is in the process of reviewing the government process. Is that required that in the, eliminating the hard code fire interesting stuff returns called thank you so much for joining us. Thank you, aaron. And thats it for today. Theres no more no work. So i did a bit of gone forward slash asia believe, you know, with pictures from the mall. Can people also called sea gypsies in thailand. The coronavirus has caused havoc across the world, but for thailands sea gypsies, it has brought welcome respite from the threat of moss tourism back to morrow. And the fight against the coronavirus pandemic has the rate of infection been developing. What does the latest research say . Information and contacts the coronavirus update 19 on t w im not going to think that, well, i guess sometimes i am, but i think when that happens, Peter Jennings thinks deep into the german culture of looking at a good stereo type question. But if you think the future of the country that i dont blame, you dont seem to think it is graham out there. And to me its all about. Ok. I my job join me to meet the gentleman from d. W. Post it many leaders see testing as the way out of this dark room, sporadic tunnel of coronavirus lockdown. The thinking being that if you can catch someone before they spread the virus, then you can slow and even stop the pandemic. In austria, the government is planning a mass testing campaign. Here, a bike, courier drops off, tests at apartments in vienna. Hell be back in the evening to collect the samples to be tested, but not every test is created equal. And the timing of tests is also crucial. Getting to someone before theyre infectious, can make or break the Contact Tracing campaign. A Mass Testing Program in northern italy has identified over 3000 coronavirus cases. And many of those people had no idea that they had covered 19 testing can clearly be a powerful tool for combating the spread of the virus. But what tests you do and where is key . We report from a hospital in a coronavirus test to make sure this patients not infected ahead of her operation in a few days. Time doesnt hurt exactly, but its very unpleasant. It feels like the swab is poking around in your brain, but the test is obligatory to protect other patients and staff at hospitals like this one in berlin. But many people in germany would like the chance to be tested more regularly. It would be good if we could use the tests to make things like travelling easier to be a bit safer, but that doesnt look likely any time soon with Testing Capacity at its limits. The government is trying to ease the pressure on overworked labs, even some hospitals are shifting away from the more reliable p. C. R. Tests. Instead using a faster, cheaper antigen test to check best stuff for the virus. Has the advantage of rapid tests is that we get a result within 30 minutes. Its relatively reliable and a relatively easy testing system. But on the other hand, the disadvantage is that we know the rapid tests are slightly less sensitive to the virus. The p. C. R. Test is the gold standard. Its more precise than the rapid test because its a fine balance between whats reliable and whats practical. But the rapid test come with that challenges to. In germany, they can only be administered by a Trained Health worker that costs time and money and means people can test themselves at home. No man understands that i lemma. As hospital staff, of course we would have like to keep using the p. C. R. Tests because theyre more sensitive. But i understand the labs are at their limit and we need the p. C. As more urgently for their patients. When they arrive with symptoms, then we have to know fast, but for sure whether they really have coronavirus or not. Bahman gets tested once every 2 weeks enough to feel safe, he says, but its clear any hopes testing could be rolled out on a broader scale will have to wait for many. That means a test of patience instead. Now there are 3 types of tests being carried out on citizens around the world. At the moment. The 1st tests for a past infection is called an Antibody Test or a serological test. A blood sample is needed for this test. Its then analyzed on the existence of antibodies. These are produced by our bodies when they face an infection and can be detected once its over. The other 2 tests look out for an ongoing infection with sars cover to the 1st of these is the antigen test. It needs a sample of saliva or throat tissue, which can then be analyzed for the proteins that sit on the outside of the corona virus. These tests can give results quickly, but theyre not as precise as the p. C. R. Test. For the p. C. R. Test, you also need saliva or throat tissue, but this time its tested for the viruses genome, which is known as r. N. A. The p. C. R. Test is the most reliable one, but in many cases, it needs more time to be analyzed. Now ive been speaking to evangelise cup suffer less from the association. The represents ever 200 accredited laboratories here in germany. I asked him why, when we have these more accurate p. C. R. Tests, we still need another type of test for covered 19 less secure a one year median. To do just well, its a, its a tradeoff, i guess, between speed and accuracy. We have multiple settings in patient care where we cannot wait 567 or even 24 hours for a test result. So take someone who is really needed to a hospital or in an emergency setting, for example, of all in aged care or in an old peoples home. Someone is slow because it diverts a high fever or not, you need responds very, very fast. And in such settings, it may be acceptable to work with little bit less curiosity and less sensitive teeth. And thats how these tests have been designed as well. So tests also have a package insert like a drug, like a prescription drug. And its very clear that these tests have been designed to detect a virus in people who are some dramatic and within a certain time window. And those organs you didnt answer where these tests are not extremely good at the moment. In the broadest screening where people are generally asymptomatic, they look and feel healthy, where they could still be infected. And with these people, and especially the road test, do not have a very hard a sensitivity. And we recommend p. C. R. Testing should be done instead. But increasingly seeing Mass Testing Programs being carried out in various parts of the world, is that an effective way of actually defeating coronavirus . Is it just telling you where seeds . Well, its a different quality of the program, but its not the continuous permanent screening and track and trace program. We currently do, bro, but its broader on the country. However, it has its purpose to it basically shines a spotlight into the part of the population at a certain point in time and, and tells us how many infected people might there be. The trouble with that is a little good dirt and engine tests again used and if the prevalence in the population of the disease is very low, like we have now seen in all the italy over this past week and the positive rate there was below one percent the risk of holds positive and false negative results is very, very high. And we also see the problem is negative and the result could give some whole certainty because people can inflict it or get infected pretty quickly after the head test taken. But with a negative result, they might feel safe and everythings fine and take over doing whats there they like doing, which is not quite the case. So we have to be careful with these results, but it gives us interesting statistics to see how many people might be infected within a certain population group. If you wanted to. What about the virus . But this, you would have to repeated every day, and im sure would have to repeat the entire population. And of course, its a big enough feat getting those people tested once, isnt it . And the Antibody Test. So testing as one is had coronavirus in the past. Why is that useful, particularly when we dont know how long or even if that does make you immune well, thats precisely the point is so, and thats also why its not being applied very much in the moment. So if you know someone has had the infection, a person has tested positive through the p. C. R. Test has perhaps even been admitted to hospital. It is interesting to attract the antibody developments. There are different types of antibodies which build over time, some very quickly within hours with all immune system runs up to a fight in a drug that says something on to develop over time and then stay. And so its very interesting to measure in concern positive cases. How long do antibodies stand which type of antibodies build over the period of time . But for the current fighting of the pandemic, this is not a very relevant information. We need to know who is infected, right . Now, and who has to the other side and put into the everybody to start with vangelis cup. So for us from thank you so much for joining us on the college 1000. 00 special points if you and now is the part of the word on where you get to ask the questions to ask science correspondent, that aquariums if youre diagnosed with covered 19 and a recovering its higher, what measures should you take to prevent your family from catching it as well . The last thing you want to do if you catch cove at 19 is give it to your friends or family. Unfortunately, that can prove challenging if you live in the same household. On the positive side, the evidence we have so far indicates that after your symptoms appear, with every day that passes, youll likely grow less infectious though its still grinding its way through studies at least. Currently, we think that maximum infectiousness hits around the 1st day that you show symptoms if not before. So if you tested positive after you develop symptoms and are now convalescing at home and the people around you have tested negative, then the likelihood youll infect them should as a rule drop by the day. Heres what authorities recommend you do 1st, no visitors of course, and both you and caregivers should wear masks and any interactions, even if its hard. Stay as isolated as you possibly can, preferably in your own room with a window that can remain open if temperatures permit it door closed, try to only eat there as well. A dedicated set of silverware and plates is a good idea. If you have the option in your home of multiple bathrooms and toilets, then dedicate one to your use limit contact with caregivers, if at all possible, they really shouldnt belong to a high risk group. Theyll need to disinfect regularly. Leave any dirty laundry or bed linens, unwashed for as long as possible. And finally, dont forget that caregivers will also need to quarantine for as long as Health Authorities require. Even if that means long after your proved. And you can submit a question for derek through a youtube channel. We have to sort of time to bring you the latest developments in the race to get a corona virus vaccine ready for distribution. Scientists at Oxford University working alongside pharmaceuticals, astra zeneca, say trials show that there vaccine candidate is 70 percent effective, but that is thought to rise as high as 90 percent one and a half doses a given that is lower than the percentages given by pfizer by own tech, and however, the office of vaccine is cheaper to produce. And its easier to store on robots for any other developments on the virus to go to our website, dot com slash coverage 19. Thanks for joining us on the card. 19 special.
