Well theres been International Reaction as well the british Prime MinisterBurris Johnson has said the law threatens the rights protected by the agreement between china and the u. K. As we said 23 years since the u. K. Handed rollback to china he also says.

K. Granting them limited leave to remain with the ability to live and work in the u. K. And thereafter to apply for citizenship and that is precisely what we will do.

After they called for an end to one party rule one of them said he was aware their actions could now amount to a violation of the law they Law Enforcement in hong kong what they always do this you are allowed to protest and make their arrest later so i today i come out and can out and one Party Dictatorship knowing full well that probably out get arrested and charged the scope of the legislation is far reaching article 38 says it can essentially target anyone anywhere another stipulates that the maximum penalty for breaking the new law is a life sentence well this is it hong kongs new security law the English Version runs to 39 pages its very detailed in parts and also very vaguely worded in others and what worries some legal experts here is that this new law could be very broadly applied just as similar laws are on the mainland in beijing senior government officials were doing their best to counter critics who say chinas actions marked the end of hong kong special. Autonomy. The law will safeguard National Sovereignty security and development and ensure hong kongs enduring social order long term prosperity and stability will carry says he wants to rebuild hong kongs battered image a strategy that includes hiring an International PublicRelations Agency at a cost of almost 6000000. 00 it could be a tough sell adrian brown aljazeera hong kong a little after 9 pm in hong kong and sarah clarke is in our bureau there youre out in the streets earlier today sara what was it like. Well can update you on the latest figures from the police they have now arrested 300 people today is a wednesday is protests and this is with regards to Illegal Assembly of course todays protests it was deemed illegal the organizers initially tried to request permission to go ahead for this march from causeway brain to center but of course the police denied that and therefore anyone taking part in todays rally was considered taking part in an illegal activity we can also confirm we now have 9 people who were arrested under the National Security laws these laws that were fast tracked by beijing and introduced on july 1st being the 23rd anniversary of the handover from british rule of hong kong to china and now we can also report that one of those 9 was as young as 15 years of age and you mentioned earlier there was a huge Police Presence in the people the protesters tried together at the initial starting point and march but they were met with the police line water cannon the Water Cannons fired a number of times we had tear gas a number of canisters of tear gas was also fired pepper spray and pepper bullets a number of people the protesters may be dispersed but as i mentioned you could still the place was still able to move in and make a large number of arrests of those people they had trapped in those various areas and we just left a very busy shopping district called times square and they fired pepper bullets outside and inside around the main area of this Shopping Center and people were trapped as a result that some streets are still blocked we still have a large number of police are on the streets trying to keep the protesters off and we do believe most have gone home but as i mentioned thousands did rally and thats defined the police and that went ahead so it shows sizable number of people who are still angry about the introduction of the National Security laws but if you compare it to last july 1st where we had 500000 people gathered you can see that clearly these National Security laws have been a deterrent to some of these acts these criminal acts deemed legal by beijing acts of subversion they can incur really heavy penalties including a life sentence and as a result people have been. Deterred by that and having come out in the streets and the number the sheer size that we saw at last years july 1st rally in hong kong sarah clarke reporting for us from hong kong today thank you sir weve also got katrina you correspondent in beijing whos been monitoring the reaction out of china. Chinas Foreign Ministry came out on wednesday afternoon justifying and defending this law explaining that this was crucial to host ability its crucial for its future prosperity and early a beijing government officials said that the west often misconstrues this idea of one country 2 systems its not about the Central Government having a hands off approach in hong kong its actually about the Central Government taking control when it needs to especially when it comes to issues so important as National SecurityGoing Forward beijings message to the people in hong kong is that the buck stops with beijing the highest authority in hong kong is the Chinese Government and you see this manifest in the way this National Mall security law is written Hong Kong Police are very much the public face of this theyre enforcing this law in the ground but behind the scenes its chinese Intelligence Security agents who are pulling strings perhaps behind the scenes surveilling those suspected of violating the rules again carrie lamb when it comes to courts and cases presided over in hong kong she will select the judges but it is the mainland that has the last say when it comes to the more severe cases these cases will be heard by beijing behind closed doors and the effect of this is very clear beijing wants to send a strong message that this law is a deterrent and theyre going to be looking to Hong Kong Police to ruthlessly apply this law in order to set an example to the people of hong kong Going Forward on to other news and rescue operations are under way in turkey after a boat capsized in a lake in the south of the country at least 6 bodies have been recovered but its believed around 60 moderates were on board the vessel which was crossing lake thats going to update from cinema our correspondent in istanbul what more do you know about where the people were coming from and where the risky situation is. Come all the the place they have one lake is near by the border with iran then a van province is actually the regular route for irregular migrants coming from afghanistan pakistan bangladesh and iran the route is like this they enter from this border across across turkey and try to reach to europe through the agency and this is a similar story of. The interior ministry saying that this fight they have reached for bodies and they believe that there are at these 55. 00 or 6 the passengers on board that they and their officers figured out about the incident after a tip came from the local head the men of the village saying that the boat sank and there were migrants on that boat then a witness came to the police to tell who testified the incident saying that he was also on the board when it got when it was. It turned it turned up and down and he was able to swim to the course which is like 8 kilometers at least and his cousin who helped him to human traffic these people. Got drowned in the lake and he didnt survive but the local sources the official sources that i have spoken to so far say that that human trafficker who who who spoke to police as a witness has some conflicting statements and apparently there were some rules on the board then the capacity was 25 people and it was overloaded with 55 to 60 people and now the officials believe that maybe those people who were locked in the rooms in that boat werent able to get out in the book when the boat capsized so they most solo turkish interior minister just said that they believe the the boat sank right in the middle of the lake which is actually a giant they can people the locals call it as a call. Lets see not a lake and the reason why the migrants take this route is this. They can they can take the lendrick but from one to bit less and the other is than province and turkey which is neighbor to van there are at least 6 or 7 military checkpoints and they wanted to avoid when since they want to avoid those checkpoints during the night they rent a boat like these through these women traffickers and they try to cross the lake even though this is a longer route but as the turkish interior minister said as long as the conflict proxy wars and power to continue in the eastern side of the world this irregular migration seems to be impossible to stop us in him in istanbul thank you for that.
