the coronavirus pandemic led by its biggest trading partner the us donald trump accuses china of covering up the outbreak beijing denies this but the argument is pushing the 2 countries closer to confrontation and phase one of the deal to end their 2 year trade war hangs in the balance he's mixing politics economics and also security issues very very dangerous mixture any kind of miscalculation could result in a real tragedy oh yeah another thought in china's side u.s. support for taiwan wednesday's inauguration of president when has pushed beijing's goal of reunification further away as china's n.p.c. over the next week surging and to china sentiment abroad isn't it or only a challenge at home leaders must tackle a slowing economy rising unemployment and new clusters of the coronavirus new

outbreaks in behind and in china's northeast have struck fears of a 2nd wave of infections and in rural areas millions wait for an end to the life of poverty 2020 is the government deadline to create what it calls a moderately well off society. no previous n.p.c. has ever had to bear all these conflicts and difficulties like the wall. this year there are too many tasks it's mission impossible. but when the national congress problems. pageantry as a 1400000000 chinese look to president xi to pave a path maybe see as an increasingly precarious future. al-jazeera beijing opposition lawmakers in hong kong are warning that china is betraying its promise to maintain the city's special status as one a state of the international community of. business that of one country to serve
12:05 am
them make no mistake about it but hating the thought of people's government has completely break. its promise to the hong kong people a promise that was inscribed in the final pretty strong decoration the basic law and they are now completely walking back on their obligation all through the hong kong people there's a 3rd. make no mistake about it. our poor thing but international status of hong kong after 30 international 30 will be gone very soon. age around as in hong kong with more on whether this announcement is likely to trigger new protests there. it's hard to see those major protests flaring up again because of course social distancing rules are still being rigorously enforced here in hong kong by the police and of course for that reason this announcement from beijing may not be a coincidence after all the timing is very interesting indeed to say the least
12:06 am
we'll be getting some reaction from pro-democracy figures here in hong kong including denis corkey says the news from beijing has left him speechless he says he believes that the hong kong government and the chinese government are actually using the covert 19 outbreak as cover to further clamp down on hong kong now the mood here in hong kong really began to change earlier this year in january when beijing appointed a new head of their central liaison office and also a new head of the hong kong and macau affair office those are the 2 beijing bodies that handle china's affairs here in hong kong and since then we've had the round up of some 15 veteran pro-democracy politicians we've had the police commissioner warning that hong kong is facing a serious terrorism threat in his words and now of course we have you know mike pompei oh the u.s. secretary of state this week warning that perhaps hong kong's special trading
12:07 am
status with the united states may not be able to continue if he feels that hong kong's autonomy continues to be threatened. with a toy is a political science professor at the university of notre dame she joins me now via skype from the u.s. state of indiana thanks very much for being with us so can you spell out for us in practical terms what this would mean if it goes ahead. if this goes apparently basically i agree with there is clock that this is the end one country 2 systems a lot of people often say that it's always one how come so much as the change does not rule out military tanks in 10 among fashion into their business trees i can't accept that but just imposing a lot on hong kong bypassing the legislative council this really sounds the end of one country's to systems at another sumption is that this will be going to run a rubber stamp is there any room for maneuver in for them to change their minds and on this at all what this is going to do you said that essentially the existing
12:08 am
legislative council is already a rubber stamp because the new squawking stuff was trying to use the best or tactics to stop the national and the bill from getting passed at the legislature but he got kicked out so beijing has enough votes to push through any bills he could have just used originally the constitution to pass this bill before the end of the currents and term in office but the truth is to use the most intense way to impose it bill and convert them to going through legislate the image that comes up is music beating doesn't keep up with the world things and more i mean on that front how do you as president trump saying this evening that the u.s. would react strongly of china follows through what reaction do you expect that to be and what would be enough to change china's mind. i'm glad presidents from naturalists that that's because all along for example just simple piece ago when he comes most recognized very smart and he was also arrested for who
12:09 am
offer assembly. in a very peaceful protest last year. there were these statements in kind of missions but no action so i hope that tram will actually do something for example imposing sanctions on poppy shows and police officers who abuse human rights. and then the same time i suppose that beijing is going to go so far ticky incur actually started just not necessary i don't think there's anything we can convince them to stop. you know if there is that we've already talked about them the kind of right here that perhaps protests will be dampened because of the coronavirus measures but in terms of business confidence in the hong kong has been suffering financially as a result of the protests in pairs of things and the coronavirus were how damaging was beef financially for business confidence in hong kong it is going to be very damaging in fact the issue of mission bell that's really a cause all of the chaos and then protests in a ready damage
12:10 am
a lot of international business confidence because anyone any american any european any anyone from anywhere in the world if you happen to pass through the income then you could be distributed to china if you wanted and so essentially beatty's kind of work that we don't care and at the same time to really be very progressive to want to continue hunker ptolemy status it especially economic status because they think that. all of these western governments are so economically struggling to space that they would not want to take it this is position so western capitals don't do something beijing look at this rate they toreador thank you very much indeed for your analysis repression thank you. at least 84 people are being killed by the most powerful cyclon to hit eastern india and bangladesh in more than a decade 2nd landfall on wednesday operation thousands of trees and destroying

12:16 am
a bilateral pact that banned intermediate range nuclear missiles there enough is you also part of the last major arms treaty with russia new start which allows both countries only 1550 deployed nuclear missiles each it expires weeks after the next presidential inauguration like how joins us live from washington d.c. so what's the significance of this move to pull out of open skies. but it's part of an ongoing process by the trump administration to disentangle themselves from international agreement this is the 3rd on this agreement that the trumpet ministration has pulled out of the 1st was the iran nuclear deal then the strategic nuclear one and now you've got this 3rd one but there has been immediate reaction in congress eliot engel the chair of the house foreign relations committee points out that president trump is unable to do this without giving congress $120.00 days notice which he has not done this is and turns off an aunt that
12:17 am
president trump signed back in 2019 so there is already criticism from democrats in congress but it is yet another move by trump and to diminish the relationships with the international community and nato allies for example are going to be absolutely incensed by this decision a unilateral decision what happens next is that once the u.s. says it all announced this formally they are 60 days during which all signatories to the agreement must meet there is some speculation that a new deal could be agreed to but that's very unlikely at this particular point but this is what president trump had to say. russia has said developed very good relationship as you know we worked on the oil problem together i think we have a very good relationship with russia but russia didn't adhere to the treaty so our job they are here we will pull out but there's a very good judge will make
12:18 am
a new agreement or do something to put that agreement back together and i can meantime president trump has just toured a ford factory in michigan not wearing a mask as part of being asked to do so by mistake. indeed yes well it's a law in michigan to actually wear a mask in public the attorney general of the state went to so far as to write a letter to the white house asking that the president to wear a mask during his visit to this particular plant president trump has refused to wear a mask in public he said at the time when it was established as a federal guideline that he's got to meet princes kings dictators from behind his desk and the wearing the mask may show him to be weak but certainly the attorney general of michigan in her letter to president trump and to the white house stated very specifically that it's not just a legal obligation it's a moral obligation as well and certainly it's important to set an example for the rest of the country given that it is the federal guideline and also ironically
12:19 am
perhaps within the white house itself last week all staffers were instructed to wear masks president trump not only flouting federal guidelines but also the advice given to other white house start with staffers within the white house and also critics point out that wearing a mask is essential in terms of protecting others not normally yourself so the president clearly according to his critics making a little note of this particular fact that he himself may be able to infect others around him by refusing to wear the mask president trump insists he's tested all the time those around him are tested all the time it's notable to note that the c.e.o. of ford and william forward himself both wore mosques during the president's visit thank you very much indeed mike hanna reporting for us there. almost 2 to half 1000000 more americans have filed for unemployment benefits over the past week that
