and covert 19 infections skyrocket across brazil worst affected country in latin america. we begin in hong kong where police have 5 volleys of tear gas and demonstrators after thousands turned out to protest against china's proposed national security law demonstrators blocked the streets a popular shopping district causeway bay the bill would ban all activities considered subversive activists say it would be the end of hong kong's autonomy. over now to adrian brown it joins us live from hong kong the streets look like now adrian. as you can see behind me this is. the busiest part of is in hong kong the police are still trying to clear it of protesters those protests. began several hours ago in fact this is the biggest

protest hong kong the seen really since kovac 1000 arrived in hong kong in january and of course these protests have grown really because of the decision by china's national people's congress to impose a new security law on hong it is demonstrating here i think that what we're seeing is that these protesters are not going to be easily to target because even though the police had said that this was going to be a no that the people taking part in the protests today would be participating in unauthorized assembly they've also decided to basically defy social distancing laws by turning out and those laws mean that at the moment groups are no more than 8 people can gather on the streets but as you can see that just simply hasn't been happening now tear gas has been fired the police have also used water cannon the protesters have been carrying some banners that in china's eyes at least are pretty

inflammatory some of the posters say that you know heaven will destroy the chinese communist party people have been waving the hong kong flag of independence also flying the former british colonial flag and of course you know if this new law does take effect soon then presumably you know that sort of sentiment could get people into a lot of trouble custody all sentences the even and this is exactly what china's government wants to crack down on they say that you know there are foreign hands at play here and they want to end the sedition and subversion that's been going on in hong kong and they say that what we've seen today is an example of what they want to now to stamp out. a very brown there thanks so much. and china's foreign minister has reiterated that anything to do with hong kong is an internal matter he's warning other countries against meddling in its affairs on the still holding a media briefing in beijing or the door cannot you know you assure you from where

you live since the turbulence over proposed legislative amendments last june we have seeing increasingly rampant activities by hong kong independence organizations and radical local lists in hong kong escalating violence and terrorist activities as well as excessive unlawful foreign meddling in hong kong affairs all those displaced national security in serious jeopardy and posed a grave threat to hong kong's prosperity and stability and the practice of one country 2 systems from all the spring in katrina you in beijing katrina sounds like beijing is not in the mood to take any kind of conciliatory approach from hong kong . that's right at the press conference today one he is not budging one bit in fact he almost expressed some surprise that people around the world and certainly in hong kong were making such

a big deal of this he was actually saying that the hong kong government and all relevant parties have voiced support for this national security law he also said that hong kong is a part of china and it is the responsibility of the central government to enact security laws for the whole country and this is a wide practice around the world and this is really just beijing doing its job he also said he singled out these protesters not as the masses not as the majority of people hong kong but he called them radical moyle ist escalating violence and even terrorist activity so very much sidelining them as extremists and he said that this law would be good for hong kong stability and people should stop worrying and basically start looking to the positivity of hong kong's future that this would not have any negative impact he said but it would be a good thing for hong kong stability and its position as an international financial center but as we heard from adrian earlier he's going to have a quite a hard time convincing the people hong kong of that very also made some comments

indicating beijing perhaps concerned about tension with the u.s. in these fragile economic times. that's right he had a number of questions about the china u.s. relationship and not surprising this bilateral relationship has been on the rocks for months and some people have said that it's in a phase of a new cold war and he seems to have agreed he was saying that china and us as the biggest developed country in the biggest developing country have more to gain from working together than competing with each other he also said that china does not want to change all replace the u.s. and the u.s. should stop trying to change china system and basically the 2 should recognize that they treat both have different political systems and respect each other he also said that many in the us are wanting to smear china and he spoke specifically of a political virus that is circulating in china in the u.s. and he said that u.s.

leaders would do better to use their precious time to save lives affected by the corner virus rather than placing the blame on china's doorstep let's have a listen to what more you have to say about. she being with us in its most regrettable that's wild the coronavirus stew out there the political virus is also spreading in the u.s. and jumping at any opportunity to attack and slander china you some politicians ignore the basic facts and make up countless lies and conspiracy theories concerning china a core in the u.s. side to stop wasting precious time and stop costing people's lives it has come to our attention that some political forces in the us taking china u.s. relations hostage and pushing our 2 countries to the brink of a new cold war. there's also

a growing drumbeat internationally of criticism targeting china because of this pandemic of course many countries and many leaders are raising questions as to the origin of this and questioning whether china is indeed being transparent about the origin of carbon 19 he also referred to questions about this specifically about u.s. politicians are filing lawsuits against china sometimes whole states against china because of this pandemic one you had some very strong words say about this he said that this was ludicrous he also said that this these movements or these lawsuits have no basis in international law and he continued to echo some of the words of president xi jinping as mentioned earlier when he last week during the world health organization summit saying that china has continued to act responsibility responsibly continue to be transparent and the difference between the u.s. some u.s. politicians and china he said was a difference in some sense between facts and law it's also one you not budging when

it comes to answering questions trying to call china to account because of the current of ours these are all right let's thank katrina you there from dating us on the situation from beijing now in mecca one of the most sacred cities in this public prayers tomography than for 3 have been taking place but only a few dozen worshipers gathered of the great mosque saudi arabia has imposed round the clock curfew after infection surged to nearly 70000 it's a different picture in pakistan where large gatherings have been spotted across the country in its biggest city kharaj public prayers to model have taken place despite the throat virus spreading muslim scholars are urging people to follow social distancing during celebrations. unlike many other countries on the lockdown people in iran are being allowed to pray inside mosques president house and rouhani has

that the health ministry has warned people against during the no ruse the persian new year the travel across the country is something that helped spread the virus very quickly to all provinces in iraq. and the health ministry here before the day did warn people not to engage in that kind of travel however at the same time president hassan rouhani has said that tourist sites will begin to reopen that restaurants and cafes will begin to reopen later this week certainly the government is doing the calculus the math about an acceptable level of infection and death rates to start getting the country moving forward again. thanks for the. still ahead of al-jazeera israel's prime minister to go on trial for corruption we look back at how we got here and the crisis caused by coronavirus the world food program says more than 130000000 people could be pushed to the brink of starvation
