So what does this mean for hong kongs prodemocracy movement and the greatest territory. This is indeed a political bombshell which is the most controversial legislation in hong kong history so it sent a shock waves of brown across to the city so. A sponsor we know that is not only about the law itself but also the procedure is also highly controversial because what beijing is planning is that they are going to. And that the law by its own how immense in beijing and bypass the scrutiny of hong kong local that a state has so that means.

V. Call reporting for us in taipei thank you. India and bangladesh assessing the damage left by one of the most violent storms in recent he is cycling has left a trail of destruction in coastal communities and west from goals main city kolkata millions of people they all without electricity and the coronavirus is hampering relief efforts. In a last ditch effort these bangladeshis are preparing for the worst. Feeling sandbags with their bare hands they braved conditions voted on by one of the most powerful cyclons in decades. Meteorologists have dubbed it a super cyclon and as it headed inland it lived up to that name it sent water surging inland some 25 kilometers the damage compounded by winds of up to 185 kilometers per hour. In comic conditions inside kid of bangladesh volunteers helped to bring locals to safety more than 2 and a half 1000000 people who were evacuated to shelters like this one which brought new concerns amid the corona pandemic of what the day you can put it there is a shortage of Drinking Water there sanitation facilities for them but nurse or should distance is maintained for that reason the fear of the corona virus spread is persistent there. Already scrambled to evacuate residents in the cyclons projected path of destruction but that may leave them vulnerable to an increased risk of the fires 50 kilometers west into copay attempts at social distancing futile. I think there are too many people here its impossible to maintain social distancing i am very concerned we couldnt stay home due to the storm and here is the tension of coronal im just trying to dodge both. And on. Challenge for millions in pan couldnt have come at a worse time. Officials in india and bangladesh say more than 80 people have died inside. Correspondent paul has been following the story for us from delhi she sent us this update. By the will of the cycle not by me remember you will not be since tuesday yet and on the beach that spent to be assessing the damage wrecked by the signs you already the state of vesting go in india has estimated losses over up to 12000000000 gold was claiming that one with everything would have to be built from scratch if you have that how good was to get the evacuation efforts one of cost complicated by the could one of our lives and make us people who concerned about moving into shelters because of crowded situations and invited about contracting to buy it is why they would have been sent to us of course also flights have been prevented extensively just 20 years ago a similar cycle in thoughts of life and how often people there is a case now that we need put is a good infrastructure these regions already are very strong and psych one problem and Climate Change has led to its teams with humans becoming more common in these events. The w. H. O. Saves 106000. 00 new cases off the corona virus were reported worldwide in the last 24 hour period that would be the largest single day increase since the outbreak began more than 5000000 people are now known to have contracted the virus new cases are surging in south america hissing countries are through and brazil is fishing hard in the u. S. And europe infection rates have started to drop and governments have begun to relax the restrictions but some vajrayana just a warning that a 2nd wave of infections is not a matter often if but when. Christian from the bold Health Organization joins me now hes in geneva hi christian so weve now had the biggest single day number in reported cases hate 5000000 people are now known to have quit at 19 is it safe to say that were far from out of the woods. Yes because if we look at the global picture we can see that indeed the case is not going to be the new high of a daily infection rate of children actually do a lot of cases are still slightly lying its not every day but. So now while in some parts of europe especially cases are going down it is literally far from many many countries have seen a slight decrease in cases that is good but on the countries in latin america in africa are still about to have a higher increase in how banks use starts the whole. Section of the people like in their countries ok so europe for example where both you and i are was at the epicenter of the pandemic for a while where is the new hot spot now. Its moved her to the americans and of course the u. S. The largest amount of the places right now brazil is actually catching up and that is not good and the chills as. A unified approach. Inside the country a holistic approach to work with the whole society with every aspect of society with the economy with the School System but the Health System everything together with the population is the best recipe and those countries who do not do is arent facing higher cases now and risking to have even more increases in deaths again here in europe because theres a lot of talk about preparing for a 2nd wave off the current virus when does a w h o expect it. Its difficult to say a 2nd wave because it will be an uptick of cases in Different Countries in the defense time as countries are coming out of the lockdown now as governments are easing restrictions of different sides of natures people start mixing again in the street start meeting again which is badly needed because of the social aspects and because people are really hungry to to go out and socialize again but the moment they go out and go on vacation again needs and schools need an enterprise is needed in restaurants and bars even or in public spots these should expect in places but lets not forget the whole exercise so to this whole time of lockdown was meant to buy us time was meant to prepare the Health System to cope with the cases to get enough test spence hospital beds ventilators same staffs ready to cope with this so as faces and going down this was going and now we need to see that these cases you just say dont dont go up too much again but yet its possible and very likely actually that the 2nd wave or optics and cases arent coming in all the countries which are now opening up so certainly expense that is to be expected ok thats christian and my own thing speaking to us from geneva thank you and have a. Now heres a look at some of todays of the current virus developments the chinese city of the epicenter of the outbreak has issued a total ban on hunting breeding and eating wild Animals Research suggests the virus most likely spreads from wild animals to humans through such practices a top u.

Youre watching news still to come. Shes captures the imagination of children for 75 years the fictional character could be longstocking. Was also the oldest grandson about the today campaign that aims to inspire and support a whole new generation of girls. But 1st nearly 2 and a half 1000000 people applied for u. S. Unemployment benefits last week as part of the latest wave off layoffs due to the pandemic the u. S.

Enough time and the German Government all close to a green and 9000000000 euro virus related rescue package which could see the government buy up a portion off the and im europes largest carrier has been hit hard by the pandemic in april fewer than 3000 passengers a day traveled with. Compared with a pretty pandemic average off around 350000 number of times since shareholders and competition. Have yet to give their approval off the deal. My business. Joins me now at the table hey steve so break down this deal for us as it stands residency 9000000000. 00 euros is basically what the deal is looking at 3000000000. 00 euros is a typical state loan another 6000000000 euros as whats known as a silent participation share in other words nonvoting rights ok i would amount to about 20 percent stake in the company from the German Government it could bump it up to the use of whats called a convertible bond to 25 percent thats important because 25 percent plus one share gives that shareholder the right to basically block the takeover any sort of major Strategic Moves and thats really why this is happening so that the German Government can block a takeover if one were to happen in airliners weakens there are deep pockets out there that would love to have cheap assets this allows them to say no ok but how much of a say will been have tenses operations now it shouldnt have any noticeable say in their operations there is precedent for this in 2008 after the collapse of Lehman Brothers and after the world was sort of shaken with Financial Financial news out of the u. S. The banks across the world fell apart and one of the most comments upon the German Government ended up buying a lot of shares in come out spock and including a silent patient shares in this case. And there was no interference within the bank as well and it eventually diluted those shares and sold many of them off until right now it has around 15 percent so there is precedent for this there wasnt speculation beginning and some commentary that this could be a way for the German Governments really push things like climate its climate goals for example airlines being a major contributor of emissions but thats really not going to happen the real question here was whether the state should intervene in the 1st place or not and thats probably why the deal has taken so long to this point ok its taken this long but at opposition serious opposition of course but really its more on the grounds of competition ryanair has been pretty vocal about it as it is about everything and their chief executive saying hey would be nice if everyone had a deep pockets of germany but the e. U. Will take a more serious look at it theyve been very clear that they are concerned that germanys resources will allow it to basically boost its companies in ways that other even nations cant its given the green light for state participation in businesses but its still going to take a look at this ok weve got 40 seconds on the clock steve is it just a gem in government helping and in other countries doing the same other countries are European Countries france for example helping air france kill em in the us taking a different approach putting grant money and saying hey what you know well get that money back to payroll taxes by supporting that employment so different different takes by Different Countries all right thanks steve that stephen b. Its the from business story. Greek police have been accused of beating migrants and illegally deporting them back to turkey reports that Greek Security forces physically assaulted by grants emerged earlier this year when thousands gathered in border areas after turkey encouraged them to travel to europe but now you and other investigative reporters have been able to confirm some stories of abuse and illegal deportations up to tracking down victims in turkey they allege greek Police Arrested them without warrants and forced them to board boats bound for turkey. Florian schmidts is one of the coauthors off that report and he joins me now from the greek city of this i dont need hello florian so youve been in touch with some of the migrants who say theyve been assaulted by greek police what have they told you. You know that with light reports yelling get in the guts newspapers how we were able to locate migrants in turkey who basically told us that they were arrested by police under false pretenses saying that they would be issued new papers and then they were taken in almost all of them say that the police confiscated their phones and other personal belongings some told us that there was Police Violence involved and then they say that they were brought in and then to every river in between turkey and greece where they were put on dates and pushed back to the turkish side ok stand by for him because i just want to let our viewers know that at the end of macho correspondent in taking you interviewed migrants at the Turkish Border town of dinner a she spoke with people who gave her a similar accounts. In the store some of them were going to others were from afghanistan and weve been working here in turkey for 3 to 4 years our situation is very bad here we crossed into greece in order to go to europe and we waited for 3 to 4 days at the border and then we had some of their the greek police beat us and sent us back here you know just on that about it the greek police took off all our clothes last night we only had boxer shorts left us we had nothing left on a lot to hit us again and again with a stick to. Telling you they told us to lay down like that when we did they beat us it said get up and then they hit us again in the. Ferry and has there been any response from the greek government on this report. We did confront them and of course the government in that sense the nice everything they call the allegations regarding Human Rights Violations like reaped Law Enforcement personnel fabricated and false interesting leave though they also say that the measures taken so far have full force and that to the gravity of the situation quickly has a new agenda of aggressive surveillance the conservative government is a under a lot of pressure to manage the migrant situation in greece many greeks feel like the country is doing the dirty work for europe maintaining the infamous hot spots on the items and thus support the government with the such drastic measures like push fix it well it will be also wrong though to scapegoat reason the situation since brussels is not managed to come up with this is saying it was solution for the migrant situation ok lets talk about the situation at the border between tikki and greece and that was already dying before the codifies what impact has the pandemic had on the situation they are. You know the question is much rather obvious corona think the situation were in the country the water between reason turkey is officially closed all the fish are different taishan procedures are on hold at the same time to grow knockdown and the strict measures imposed by the state of greece made it a lot easier for the police to extend into the mainland and tourist migrants in refugee camps and in the cities so according to the people we talked to the coronal knocked on initiated a new strategy of push things from greece to turkey ok thank you Florian Schmitz in this i dont need. And im just one point out of you is that you can find the full report on our website that state dot com its a happy birthday now to a rebel and a role model the carrot tepi longstocking has been providing inspiration for children especially girls since he 1st appeared 75 years ago today he has a closer look at some of her adventurous.
