Jump june joins us now via from baghdad whats the latest on that. Well adrian we were expecting that a parliamentary session would begin at this hour now we are told by far the Ministry Sources that it is going to be good but heres where it gets confusing because now we are told that an agenda has not actually been agreed upon as to what will be discussed today and leading up to today it was expected actually it had been announced that parliament was going to do its 2nd reading of lifestyle a total of reform law today and that that would set the path for potentially a vote on this Electoral Reform law thats been much discussed in the next few days but now its unclear if that actually is going to happen frankly thats not really that surprising because oftentimes in the past couple of weeks parliament has said its going to take up this use that it hasnt for one reason or another another reason it gets confusing is because even though theres been a lot of talk about this Electoral Reform law its still quite vague as to what exactly it will entailed other than potentially making the Electoral Commission here more representative of the population as a whole all that being said though when you speak to the the people that continue to come out day after day to your square which where we are which is the epicenter of the antigovernment demonstrations here in baghdad they say that they dont trust the parliament is actually going to make these reforms even if they pass a law they dont believe that these reforms are going to make a difference today and they do not believe that parliament is taking their demands seriously and they say they want more than just Electoral Reform they dont know exactly what Electoral Reform means they want a complete overhaul of the political system here in iraq and thats going to take much more than just Electoral Reform so once again we get to a point where we expect the government is going to be making announcements or potentially voting on laws that they have been talking about and then we get to the hour when it is supposed to happen and its unclear if it actually will happen and when you then relay that information to. The people here at the rear square well frankly they shrug their shoulders and as theyve told me the past hour they say look we didnt expect it was going to happen and even if it did happen i dont believe its going to make an impact on them and thats why they say theyre doing were going to continue to come out day after day to try to demand more from this government and sure a Better Future for it and Adrian Beltre serious reporting live there from baghdad back to the many thanks indeed hong kong has to hold local elections on sunday after 6 months of unrest the election is seen as a test for chief executive kerry lam some of the most violent confrontations between police and protesters happened last week and those protests are having a big impact on the territories economy with businesses now choosing sides bride reports. This elections not only a battle at the ballot box but also with the cash registers. In this polarized society months of unrest have changed how people spend. This restaurant has a socalled Yellow Ribbon business opposed to the government and at lunch times its overflowing with prodemocracy customers. This chain of tea shops also publicizes its prodemocracy views giving people the chance to express them as with each visit student kyle learn only spends his money in places that support the protest movement my friends are very aware of which rap restaurants we go to we shall be going to yeah but yes we were very conscious about that im not quite sure about it if fact but were trying to do what we can do at the moment you know to just to help with the situation to like express our demands in this highly charged atmosphere expressing your political views can invite attack. And much has been directed against businesses with links to mainland china. Socalled blue ribbon businesses those that are seen as supporting the government or the police have borne the brunt of protesters anger the promise stablished one camp says its contributed to hong kong slipping into recession and that the slump will continue as long as the unrest goes on. Campaigning to keep his seat as a pro establishment district councillor common fung has experienced that anger firsthand. His partys office has been ransacked.

But nowadays people lost all their hopes we just dont know how the next step we dont know how to stop the violence how to stop the tempting. Whatever the results of sundays election the underlying causes of hong kongs unrest alike come to remain and businesses will have to navigate through an economic fallout.

That we have foreign interference in place that we have. Law enforcement intelligence agencies like never before and that will stand up for our National Interest with us on matters of Foreign Policy Foreign Investment or other related issues. Mackenzie is an investigative journalist at the age and the Sydney Morning Herald he was hes spoken to what where he joins us now live from melbourne good to have you with us nick who is this guy how valuable was the information but hes provided by his fears that its extremely valuable the world for some time intelligence agencies. Southwests have written a lot about how they suspect chinese intelligence operates chinese interference operates in vices like a strong arm kong taiwan and elsewhere but to have an insiders account somebody who says this is what i did this is what i saw this is what i heard and this is have a system operates and this is how we undermine the Independence Movement in hong kong is how election annulled in taiwan is of course extremely valuable this is all code more stuff isnt it how is china able to recruit Ethnic Chinese to spy for it in these these places where we know that the Chinese Government has one of the biggest intelligence apparatus in the world in this case the intelligence operative was working in according to his account the whole call from company it was the company now it has links to the Chinese Military similar things so a quite easily publicly found using that cover is a home grown businessmen and he conducted various operations.

Well astronomy is at the tip of the spear in some respects in the western world. In respect to the issue of chinas government foreign interference and he says points that are being given by a strat in government or far east who know about these issues is that is not unusual there are not many people like him following the orders of the Chinese Government in astronomy and elsewhere and guys in serious acts of foreign interference thats not a sign of course the vast majority of trying to destroy insurrection absolutely wonderful law abiding citizens there is of course the significant if it being taken by the Chinese Communist party in our must make a distinction between its course the chinese population the Chinese Communist party in astronomy is engaged in serious acts of foreign interference our government has recently passed new security laws i think it is acts its fair to say our security agencies are slowly beginning to try to force those laws at the moment while on the outside as it is the Chinese Government is acting really with impunity in australia and elsewhere effective theres not been one single prosecution of a chinese spy in australia suggesting 90 rus as we said a stern is government has not yet indicated whether it will grant him asylum should he be given asylum. Well in. Its early days yet obviously an ace story has been public in a matter of hours very senior a struggle and pay the chair of the. Committee on security and intelligence andrew has the end pay as council would and city should be granted a solomon protection i suspect to be joined by other senior politicians industry every indication we have is that the Israeli Government believes this story to be credible the intelligence hes sharing to be useful its going to be shared amongst the Intelligence Network and of course what hes done is put. Himself at rest of his life he can go back to hong kong he certainly conquered back to ease to the mainland where he was born chinese mainland really well would expect to be getting a protection perhaps residency sometime in the future why did he go public make.
