So youve been watching live pictures there from beijing chinas premier league pitching has been outlining the countrys plans for the next year but in his opening address at the annual National Peoples congress he said china would not set a growth target for 2020 the government he said would step up spending to bolster an economy badly hit by the corona virus pandemic later and brown is in hong kong will be speaking to him in a moment but lets 1st go to katrina you shes been listening in to that speech in beijing katrina so a rather long and detailed Opening Statement from really touching but the overriding message from the chinese premier seems to be that chinas claiming victory over the coronavirus pandemic and despite the hit to the economy its back to business as usual. Thats why it was quite a long detailed report ive got it here in my hands 23 pages of different issues but as you said mentioned the main issue we tackled was the impact of the coronavirus basically the premier league the child was saying that no results and no measure has been spared in fighting this epidemic in containing. And is saving as many lives as possible that was what he called a price worth paying but because of this the chinese economy has paid a heavy price or as you mentioned it is resilient it is recovering but at the same time it has suffered many losses and for the 1st time since 1988 the Chinese Government has not sent a g. D. P. Target for the year last year was expected to be about 6 percent but this year no g. D. P. Target set theyve also implemented or theyre also going to implement a number of measures to help bolster the economy so the 1st thing one crucial priority is stabilizing employment that was mentioned numerous times throughout his speech the government intends to create 9000000 urban jobs also bolstering the rule employment Agricultural Production and investing in other our cultural rule projects is also on the top of the list the government will also issue 140000000000. 00 worth of government bonds to help tackle corvette 19. Very interesting lay and they be having had this kind of language for a while here in china but all levels of government in china have been asked to tighten their belts so that is a very specific. Very specific and very telling line about the state of the chinese economy but at the same time the chinese chinese leaders intend to keep the 2020 rather ambitious deadline of eradicating extreme poverty from china that was that one of the top missions of president xi jinping since he came to power to eradicate extreme poverty and that was up in question as to whether the governments to be able to do that it tends to do so and also stabilizing Foreign Trade the government still continue intending to implement the phase one trade deal with the u. S. While working with washington to do that so many messages many many issues tackled that. One of really looking to into some sort of new us a steve period i think this time of celebration and loud triumph in china may be coming to an end by this rather sort of a rather slow this rather sober speech from premier league all right secretary to you there live for us in beijing katrina thank you lets cross out to hong kong and talk to adrian brown agent me quote something that at least kitching said during that speech he said china will establish sound Legal Systems Enforcement Mechanisms to ensure National Security in hong kong and macau it sounds all rather ominous age and so what more do we know then about this proposed National Security legislation for hong kong that will be raised at the Congress Later this week and what is it likely to contain. Well we know daryn there to more details about this proposed security bill are going to be released later this morning when its debated before the National Peoples Congress Details for instance a pull provide more ideas about what sort of punishments people could expect for subverting you know this chinas chinas security law i mean you know one of the things that china has stressed i think is that this National Security law is going to fill a loophole a new poll that has been there for many many years remember back in 2003 the Hong Kong Government tried to implement a new security law that was met with more than half a 1000000 people taking to the streets of hong kong and i think the government has finally run out of patience it is essentially saying that you know the Hong Kong Government in the current atmosphere here in hong kong where weve had you know months of political unrest simply isnt up to the job of introducing and implementing this new law so were going to have to do that job for you know there has been for a real vast and swift reaction here in hong kong from chinas opponents martin lee who is was an architect of the basic law which of course is hong kongs mini constitution has basically said that the one country 2 systems that the premier referred to in his address is now essentially dead and buried chris patten the former governor of hong kong has says that this was a an enormous threat to hong kongs one country 2 systems he says that it has basically subverted the basic law it was of course 23 years ago that hong kong was returned to china from british rule when china promised to honor and implement the one country 2 systems policy that is what the premier again said again today but of course i think many people around the world wonder whether in fact that is going to be the case we saw of course during the past half hour pictures of the of the great hall of the people and i think that is a reminder that that is where the real power now rests in hong kong not in hong kongs legislature but in the great hall of the people are a dream round there live for us from Hong Kong Adrian thank you.

The saudi establishment and of the royal family going all the way up to the kings brother who are now languishing even in prisons and out as really undermining the social contract if you will between the saudi royal family and the people i think that the tactical approach is to obviously to draw as much attention as possible in the United States to these high level individuals i think the long game here is really tied to the upcoming u. S. President ial election and india and joe biden. Wins i think that we can see a whole sale of releases of high profile saudi this events and members of the royal family President Trump as we know yes personalized his relationship with the crown prince mahmut and it is there for unlikely that any sort of lobbying will be really sway him in the immediate to long term but these developments on fortunately are only adding to the already severely damaged reputation that saudi arabia has at United States libyas u.
