Joe biden lost his visit as Vice President to beijing in 2011 is allowing one restaurant to savor a bite and dumps a new taste of success. And welcome to the program. China has condemned the mass resignation of prodemocracy lawmakers in hong kong as quote, political fasts and a blatant challenge. The opposition blocks to don imus after 4 of their colleagues were expelled from parliament for china, described as being unpatriotic. A new day in the Hong Kong Legislature without prodemocracy lawmakers. The seats are usually occupied by hong kongs democratic parliamentarians. But now theyre empty. As the session got underway a day after the mass walkout, one of the lot, mike is resigning and solidarity staged a protest. Rolling out a banner in the foyer, i just felt as against the chief executive decision to disqualify Police Officials absolute have said that the state used to disqualify the this is city council and yet that way, if they were the last remaining prodemocracy lawmakers in hong kong they resigned in solidarity with their colleagues who were deemed threats to National Security by beijing. Its yet another blow for the proDemocracy Movement. I got that they got over the decision made by the n. P. C. S. C. Is ridiculous. It shows that the Central Government has completely given up on the basic law and the principle of one country 2 systems. Beijing defended the new resolution and denied it is restricting Hong Kong Special freedoms. They were implemented in 997. 00, after the city was handed to back to china from british rule. Germany not tell me where you went, you think 20 this year. It is a necessary measure, in order to maintain the rule of law in hong kong. And the Constitutional Order of the special autonomous region, if you they fight it is rational and reasonable. And in line with the constitution and laws. Beijing recently moved to clamp down on opposition, voices in hong kong by imposing a National Security law. After months of antigovernment, protests rocked the city last year. Hong kong semi autonomous status was originally guaranteed until 2047. But for some, the end date has already arrived. Now for more on this story, lets bring in the beijing joyously in hong kong. Welcome to you, boyce joyce. Lets start with you. The lawmakers there have just handed in their resignations. What theyve been saying, yes, most of them have already had that in their estimation. And they would take you back on today, tomorrow or the 1st off this and that convener all democratic him, which he why set that he hopes at a mosque recitation, which showed the entire world how ridiculous it is baiting secession to expel the 4. Prodemocracy lawmakers as well as how beijing has totally destroyed the one country 2 systems framework at home. China has called this mass resignation, a political fost. What does this kind of language mean that china, sometimes i have a way with words in that regard does not only call this a farce, it has also, it has also called this a blatant challenge to the Central Government. I think its up to the Central Government to decide whether they want to be challenged by a fast. But the language is not unusual. This is how china reacts when it feels that something is really at stake. China has moved forward with controlling hong kong in the past few months. It has disqualified these 4 lawmakers, but it has also rescheduled or postponed the elections that were due in september. So anyway, this parliament was already a parliament by the grace of beijing. And it was pretty clear that opposition plays no role in what he sees as the future for hong kong joys. One consequence of this is that the prodemocracy Democracy Movement has now lost its voice in, in the let me just attempt to how will they continue . Yes, with the thats qualification for prodemocracy lawmakers yesterday and the monstrous a nation that follows hong kong legislation is in a fact becoming a single for use Legislature Without any meaningful opposition voices in the council. So a lot of the resigned lawmakers are saying that they will fight on outside the Legislative Council, but a lot of heat hold out that under the National Security law in beijing, in july its possible to, you know, attack the streets, keep the protests going on. Joys some say that this mosque was a mission then, as you just said inadvertently played into into chinas true actually in yesterdays press conference, hong kongs leader carried, im sad. She was excited because the Legislative Council would be more effectively saying, proposed by the government. So on the moderates press, the nation is actually within the calculation of the probation camp and it has you know, some prodemocracy supporters are criticizing that. It is too late for the lawmakers to resign. They should have resigned, you know, a month earlier this legislature, but this building in beijing joyously in hong kong.

In germany, the Public Health institute is warning that its expecting an uncontrolled spread of covert teen infections in some parts of the country. Numbers are still rising rapidly despite a partial National Lockdown bars and restaurants. More than 20000 cases have been recorded in a single day, intensive care occupancy has more than doubled in the past few weeks. The whole bad cop institutes germanys Public Health body is warning of more deaths to come. The Health Minister says was strictures are likely to last through the winter. The institutes president has urged people to keep socialising to a minimum and says the situation is already serious. Defied sounds in 2 men right now. The number of cases is very high, need a few months leading to a lot of people missing work and not come apart of me. Speaking a lot of people are becoming seriously ill and may possibly sell for long term effects or even die. Any response, we need to accept that the situation is going to get worse. Over the coming weeks. Some clinics could reach the limits of their capacity when its possible that patients will not be able to receive optimum care. And some cases, im not on the political correspondent, thomas sparrow. Thomas, germany is still recalling high numbers of new infections. Intensive care if youre pencey has doubles. Put that in perspective for us regarding total capacity. Well, its certainly a very serious situation that some of that Germanys Health institute, the robert costa institute, also acknowledged, although the head of the institute said he was also cautiously optimistic by the fact that the had started to flatten. Although he also specifically stressed that they are not sure where that is coming from and whether its something that can be considered to be stable. Specifically, when you talk about the situation in german hospitals, they have been stressing that the situation now is worse than it was actually in april, during the 1st wave of the coronavirus pandemic. Many hospitals certainly saying that they are at the limits of their capacity yet at the same time when you look, for example, at the number of available i. C. U. Beds, you can still clearly see that there are around 6500 available i. C. U. Beds here in germany, nation wide. So on the one hand, obviously very serious situation. On the other hand, german officials still stressing that the Health System overall is not necessarily overwhelmed. But the main concern is still that the virus is spreading very fast and if it continues spreading very fast, then the Health System in general will certainly become overwhelmed. Thats exactly what German Authorities want to prevent. That is exactly why germany is now in this possible lockdown. Speaking about whats on many peoples minds right now. Christmas is only 6 weeks away and millions will want to travel to their families. Can we expect the government to introduce even tougher measures later in the year . It is still unclear how the government specifically will react for them to decide what the next steps will be. In particular, when were talking about the christmas weeks, they still have to wait and see whether the partial lockdown will have an effect and not only an immediate effect, but also a stable effect. Thats what authorities are actually waiting for. We still have to wait another day, another few days, maybe even another week to see if the lockdown is having a concrete effect on the number of coronavirus cases in germany. Before authorities, both at the federal level and at the regional level, decide what the next steps will be and what exactly germans will be able to do during the christmas weeks. Thank you, tony. Thats a look now at some of the other developments in the pandemic. Ukraines president Vladimir Putin has been hospitalized after contracting covert, 19 earlier this week. The death toll in the u. K. Has passed 50000. Thats higher than any other european country. New york has ordered restaurants bars and gyms to close a 10 pm. Private gatherings are now limited to 10 people there. And organizers of the tokyo lympics next years day athletes will not be required to isolate isolate. For 14 days. The games have been delayed by a year. France is also fighting to control a 2nd wave of covert 19 daily infection. Numbers are the highest in europe, and yet the lock down there is less strict than during the 1st wave. The government is trying to strike a balance between protecting health and preserving the economy, but not everyone is happy about that approach. With calls from powers for even under lockdown. The french are taking to the streets as opposed to doing the 1st 1000. 00 wave schools here are staying open, but teachers dont feel safe. We have between 20. 25 pupils per class. We are trying to impose social distancing. But in our classrooms, we can, it may have a distance of 40 centimeters between each pupil. Not just among simmers. You see we were hoping the government would reinforce sanitary measures, but they havent already least not sufficiently. So we dont understand that. We fear the government is abandoning us to lash out. They are getting support from their pupils who have been blocking School Entrances and posting videos online that show a lack of social distancing. Also unlike during the 1st coded 1000. 00 ways, more shops open and large parts of frances industry are still up and running. And yet, this is still one of europes strictest. Lockdowns with people only allowed one hour a day and only within a radius of one kilometer of their homes. Most french think the government was right to confine them. But many criticize the method. I dont understand why big supermarkets are no longer allowed to sell books, clothes or toys, just because small shops that sell the same things are closed. The government is just not good at explaining itself. This group cause lots of unemployment and bankruptcy. Why are they leaving big supermarkets open up about closing smaller shops . Megastores often take in hundreds of clients and small shops, only one or 2 think theyre much safer. And yet the government is staying the course. Even though the spread of the epidemic has been slowing down, thanks new and were seeing 1st indications that the measures are producing an effect. But it is too early to lift restrictions. The situation is still very grave and the epidemic is continuing to gain ground, continue to gain new down.
