shopping district causeway ballet well this was all sparked by china's announcement of the proposal of its annual political meeting on friday it would ban all activities considered subversive activists say it would be the end of hong kong's autonomy china's foreign minister wang years called for the law to be imposed without the slightest delay is also tried to ease concerns the legislation would erode freedoms and rights of people in hong kong where the door cannot you know you assure you from where you are since a turbulence over proposed legislative amendments last june would have seeing increasingly rampant activities by hong kong independence organizations and radical local lists in hong kong escalating violence and terrorist activity is a small us excessive unlawful foreign meddling in hong kong affairs or this is placed 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 which i agree and brown has more from hong kong. this is an unauthorized protest the police would warn people not to take part in it and of course it also contravenes shows social distancing rules which are still in force here in hong kong which banned gatherings of more than 8 people on the streets will clearly that has been ignored on sunday initially the people were coming out to protest against something very different a national anthem law but when beijing announced that it was going to impose this wide ranging security law in hong kong that brought out hundreds and thousands of people on to the streets and numbers we haven't seen since january which of course is when covert 19 1st appeared in hong kong now the protesters have been carrying banners calling for an independent hong kong they've been carrying posters saying that heaven will destroy china's communist party this is an example of what china's

government wants to snuff out and of course once this bill does become law then the sort of sentiments that we've seen expressed here today could well lead to arrest and imprisonment in the future but i think it's quite clear that the protesters that i've been speaking to today are not going to be deterred by the threat of this new law and i think with all the sensitive anniversaries it we have coming up in the next few weeks including the june the 4th which will i think we're going to see more and more protests and i think we got a taste here in hong kong today of what is to come. millions of muslims around the world the celebrating evil for marking the end of a month of fasting it's one of the most important festivals in the islamic calendar but this time the coronavirus pandemic has brought about unprecedented restrictions in some countries where prayers in mosques and public celebrations are barred priyanka go up to explains.
