a friend of mine because i can't change someone from the security caught on camera brazil's president on leashes a tirade against police amid claims he's been meddling in an investigation. normally bustling time of the business is in 10 years suffering ahead of the them for 3 holiday. for the 1st time since the outbreak began late last year china has reported no new coronavirus cases that's despite an increase in testing in areas including the former percent of war han health authorities have warned there are still some suspected cases people are being told to continue wearing masks in crowded places like supermarkets and morals and go to katrina you in beijing so where is this the
11:02 am
fear is that there would be further waves of curve with 19. well those fears are so very much alive so it's a quite a milestone no new cases that's no local transmissions no asymptomatic cases no imported cases even but it's china is not out of the woods yet we still know of at least 2 active clusters of the current virus one in the original at the center of the out the outbreak earlier this month about $5.00 to $6.00 people were discovered to have covered 19 and that spurred authorities to start mass testing of the entire population of that city 11000000 people and a 2nd cluster pap's more worrying for authorities is in jilin province that's the north east of china and there are 2 cities there which are particularly affected and more than 100 cases have been confirmed there in jilin and 2 cities have been

put into lockdown quite severe lockdown public transport has been suspended and many residential compounds have been cordoned off with households only allowed a certain number of visits out once every few days for sensuous so clearly today they might be celebrating but by no means as china's fight against the coronavirus are over they also katrina still a lot of question marks about the reliability of some of the figures coming out of china right. that's right i mean this is a consistent question when it comes to these numbers because we only have one source of coronavirus because here in that's the government these figures are not independently vetted and we also know that the government has changed its methodology for accounting corner virus cases a number of times over the past 5 months at some point they were including. people tested only with the nucleic acid tests and that changed the numbers and then they started counting asymptomatic cases so that's changed
11:04 am
a few times also questions about transparency because we do know at the beginning of this outbreak at the end of december early this year there was an attempt by the government to cover up how serious this was and the numbers if we look at them $83000.00 cases also of. confirmed of the corona virus and just under 5000 deaths in those numbers are significant but they're much lower the numbers other countries even much smaller countries and we have to remember that this is a communist. country it's an authoritarian government they want to control the narrative and they're very keen to get the economy going this so we do have to take these official figures with a grain of salt all right katrina you there from beijing thanks for that international condemnation is growing over china's plans to introduce sweeping new security laws in hong kong u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o said it would sound the death knell for the territories or ptolemy the proposed

11:06 am
believe if we want to do the right you know that. national security law just like that the government will. be able to knock adrian brown has the reaction from hong kong. problem is that here in hong kong people still don't know very much about this security law the details are few and far between for instance it's been confirmed that you know security agencies will now be free to operate in hong kong from the mainland but what will be their remit and what security agency will it be will it be the ministry of state security for instance which human rights groups say has a reputation for you know arbitrary detentions and torture so there's a lot of unknown things at the moment that the people here in hong kong want us to now carry land was putting on a display of unity on friday night standing with her cabinet members and other
11:07 am
