for oil and gas we live here we make the rules people and car investigates exposes and questions the use and abuse of power around the globe. on al-jazeera. this is al jazeera. hello i'm right about this and this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes. arrests in hong kong as protesters oppose an national anthem bill and the beijing's plan national security law the u.s. threatens a strong response. 10 days of mourning in spain for the thousands of people who have died from corona virus. that is government is accused of sending out the wrong

messages about covert 19 and covering up a crisis. and questioning the president's story puts a fact check warning on tweets from donald trump. and joining with sports including a pivotal moment in the race for the german football tight so it is by meaning voters who don't mean one bell in an empty stadium to make 7 points clear at the top of the book to sleep. ok we're going to begin in hong kong where more than 200 protesters have been arrested after a standoff with police in the heart of the city. police used pepper spray to disperse crowds rallying against a bill that could see people jailed for mocking china's national anthem but they're

also demonstrating against a security law proposed by beijing activists insist it's going to mean the end of hong kong's freedom and rights but probation politicians say it's necessary to defend against what they call home grown terrorism. i think people need to recognize that our separate systems is based on our ability to national sovereignty security and developmental interests if we become a threat to a national security or a base for subversive activities the separate systems cannot be maintained so and harnessing national security protection is the best way to preserve our separate systems and our separate way of life we can see the c.c.p. is trying to suppress or keep people. more serious so. we're trying to safeguard. we're trying to see how we want and can't

be right. taiwan's president has thrown her support behind the protesters in hong kong promising to provide humanitarian aid for pro-democracy activists so in wayne says the island which has its own struggles with chinese sovereignty will continue to back efforts towards democracy and freedom is the most concrete show of support by taiwan in recent months ok let's go live to him brown who's in hong kong central business district adrian just bring us up to date with what's been happening there this morning. well there have been skirmishes in the central business district normally an area where you would see business executives heading out to lunch but on this lunch time there were skirmishes all over the central area as police clashed and chased protesters who were chanting pro-democracy slogans as well as insults at the police after issuing

a number of warnings the police then fired pepper pellets there were a number of arrests not just a few arrests rob more than 300 according to local media some of those people who've been detained as young as 14 years old many schoolchildren were participating in today's disturbances and of course they are jeopardizing university prospects as well as career prospects now hong kong's government has warned that it's prepared to continue cracking down hard if the protesters continue to defy warnings to stay off the streets because what was happening in the central business district of wednesday was of course an illegal assembly and the police were warned the people taking part in such assemblies potentially risk a jail term of up to 5 years remember almost 9000 people have now been arrested since the protests began here in hong kong almost a year ago now the reason why people were protesting in the center of hong kong on

wednesday is because they couldn't protest outside hong kong's parliament where that proposed national anthem bill was being debated by lawmakers police ring the area with security barriers and also $3000.00 riot riot police were on duty and they were fanning out in various areas of hong kong conducting stop and search operations in one area monk for instance they detained and questioned just a group of schoolgirls so what we saw on wednesday was the hong kong police being a lot more assertive as hong kong. lawmakers advisers government ministers were doing their best to try to allay the concerns of the public and of course all this as you say coming ahead of that important vote in the national people's congress china's rubber stamp parliament on thursday when they're due to vote on that important draft resolution leading to

a new security law for hong kong so people in hong kong today were protesting for 2 reasons the national anthem bill and also the security law they see those as new restrictions on their freedoms aaron brown live for us in hong kong adrian thanks very much indeed well the u.s. president says he's working on a strong response to china's planned and national security law in hong kong his threat has prompted this reaction from the chinese foreign ministry so. we the national security legislation for hong kong is purely china's internal of fear that allows no foreign interference china is determined in imposing external interference in hong kong if he is if anyone insists on harming chinese interests china is determined to take all necessary countermeasures. benedict rogers is co-founder and chairman of hong kong watch and he's joining us by skype from london thanks very much indeed for giving us your time what are the chances do you think

that we are seeing the end of the pro-democracy movement in hong kong i do think we're seeing the end of the bird democracy movement the movement i think is absolutely as determined as ever but he tried to not have this security law imposed on them they're not just going to roll over but we are certainly seeing the end of hong kong's autonomy of one country 2 systems and its basic regions how do you think that the existing government under carol-ann can continue given that the amount of antipathy that appears to be towards this ruling that is coming from beijing. well carrie lamb's government has been extremely unpopular particularly over the course of the last year with its handling of the extradition bill and now these new developments they will continue for as long as beijing keeps them there because they're effectively carolan as is beijing's puppets and beijing's representative in hong kong rather than hong kong's leader

and representative to beijing but she certainly doesn't have the support of the people given the fact that the protests that we saw in the latter part of last year caused a great deal of damage and also they've been accused the protesters have been accused of undermining confidence in hong kong's economy and the meetings of the legislative council have been continually disrupted to what extent do you think the protestors themselves bear song sort of responsibility for the severity of the response that china is giving now. i think overall the weight of responsibility lies on kerry land and on the central government in beijing they have promises that they should uphold under the terms of the sino british joint declaration and the basic law constitution including a promise albeit in. terms to introduce universal suffrage at some

stage so the responsibility is theirs and they have introduced at various times laws and measures that have been extremely repressive in have absolutely provoked the fury of the people of course that have been a small minority and i emphasize small minority of protestors who have resorted to violent and extreme action and i don't condone that action and i think commas are at their best when they protest peacefully but we should remember that those incidents of violence have mostly been in response to police brutality it's usually been the police that has has acted 1st and of course in response to out of frustration at a government that just does not listen to the beatles hong kong is a commie of course like so many other economies is dependent on investor confidence looking ahead how much damage do you think this is going to do to hong kong's economy and will it ever come back to the stage that it has being

a year or so ago. i think it's going to do huge damage and particularly if this law the security law does go ahead which as i say really destroys what's left of hong kong's freedoms and autonomy it will it will really call into question hong kong's viability as an international financial hub hong kong success as a financial center depends on the the foundations that i hold out of the rule of law transparency openness and autonomy we published a report earlier this year called why hong kong matters and it shows that hong kong does still matter a loss to the international community and indeed to china. financially and economically but it will only continue in that way if the values of rule of law and openness transparency and autonomy i want held and as it looks like they are being dismantled i think hong kong's days as

a financial center are now in question i really appreciate your giving us the benefits of your thoughts on this benedict rogers from hong kong watch thank you so much for your time thank you. thank you more ahead on the news hour including bleak warnings about the coronavirus pandemic in latin america and predictions of a 5 fold increase in brazil. for police officers are fired in the u.s. over the death of an unarmed black man after all bystanders video because there's outrage. and in sport find out why saudi arabia's proposed takeover of newcastle united football club might be in doubt. schools universities and sporting events are expected to resume in tanzania next week as it lifts coronavirus restrictions but all this isn't politicians accuse the

showing burials at night they say the government's hiding coronavirus death ministry of health has since said the night burial should stop we don't trust the government have to guess that. believe. me it's not so the government response was their ability to support disappointing barry and that well me and we have so much warning that the tanzanians will be a lot. this is one of the main hospitals for close with 19 patients in dar es salaam nobody's allowed to film any of them the government denies reports the hospitals are overwhelmed with cases activists have been arrested for challenging the government's account. some prevention measures are in place but for the large part it's business as usual the u.s. embassy has said evidence suggests the pandemic is growing exponentially in the city president magath consistently played it down. it's

and case. let's go live to martin had at all in madrid mark said the government was accused of delaying too long in holding this kind of mourning period what's been happening today. yes well today spain has one minute of silence that the spanish prime minister. the spanish parliament and joined by all the official on private public and private buildings this is part of the 10 day of official mourning that was declared yesterday by cabinet cabinet. political parties have been longing claiming spanish prime minister just to begin an official in the morning in order to pay tribute to the over 27000 people that have died from 9 t. and she said it was part of the big debate

a future date that has full arised all of the speeches syrian parliament and outside parliament which. political parties and so these 10 days of official the morning are going to last until june the 6th this is bardolph this is the longest official morning in history of a spanish democracy. and with an official ceremony ceremony held by king philip philip to the 6. i know that the numbers of those who died have been adjusted but if i understand it correctly the number of health workers who died as a result of the virus is particularly high isn't it. yes the number of the number of health care workers that have died from covered $99.00 also largest number off health care workers that are infected is 20 percent of the total of people that. total number of infections nationwide and

this is just to make a comparison you need to lee it's only a tempest sent in number deal which is the epicenter of the hole in the t.v. it's a 20 percent but in the u.s. it's a 3 percent so those are just the largest number of her coworkers infected worldwide spain yesterday in the cabinet meeting a spanish economy minister declare that all of those people have been infected all top died from could be 19 in the health care sector will be considered as a work accident martha martha from madrid thanks very much indeed for the update and the u.k. pressure is continuing to month from within prime minister barak's johnson's own party his top adviser for defying government lockdown rules i want to cummings traveling with his family from london to northeast england then march while he and his wife were showing symptoms on need bach is joining us now live from london neve clearly there's a great pressure from within the party obviously from the opposition and also it

appears from much of the press as well. from the opposition from within the conservative party and also from the public as well if the most recent polls are to be believed it looks like there is a tidal wave of opinion turning against the government and according to one poll only 2 weeks ago the prime minister's approval rating stood at around 25 percent 3 days off to quickly coming to the aid in defense of dominic cummings it's now according to that same poll in negative figures and also a lot of political capital has been expended in defending dominate cummings at a time in which the government really wants to try and inspire some confidence from the public about its measures for easing restrictions but specifically at least 30 conservative m.p.'s are piling on the pressure on the prime minister to either

side only coming as all for coming to resign of his own volition we know that m.p.'s from opposition parties are also calling for a full inquiry into exactly what happened when it comes to public opinion there is still very much a feeling that cummings the decision to travel hundreds of kilometers to the north east of england it clearly shows that there is one rule for the political elite so warm rule for everyone else the view is that coming sported a detail in the small prints of what many thought were hard and fast rules to stay at home and save lives some of the other newspapers this morning of solitude looked the other way but the 2 newspapers that began the investigation into cummings are still saying. still focusing their sights on the senior aide to the prime minister the guardian rising tory revolt over m.p.'s refusal to ditch cummings and the daily mirror fast and furious this newspaper focusing on a detail of cummings is account way said that to test his eyesight he went for

a drive to a local beauty spot that is. become the source of a 1000 memes in the past couple of days. cummings does stay in office is there any speculation about how difficult it might be for boris johnson particularly but also for his cabinet to try to pos legislation and try to manage the the return in the reopening of the u.k. which could be incredibly difficult so this is all about seizing back control of the messaging and what we're going to see a little bit later on in the day is the prime minister face his 1st grilling by the liaison committee that's a committee of senior m.p.'s from different parties including. members of his own party he'll face questions about the government's strategy when it comes to dealing with the corona virus to date some of those questions will undoubtedly focus on the debacle about the lack of protective equipment for frontline workers especially

medics questions about why the lockdown wasn't introduced sooner and why things like track and trace went introduce you know when they were seen to be effective in countries like germany but also face questions about what's going to be happening next and we gather only around 20 minutes of that committee meeting will focus on the issues surrounding dominic cummings well the government wants to be talking about so rich the chivas the fact that it's. going to be giving thousands of doses of the antiviral drug does appear to people suffering from covert 19 wants me talking about the return of some age groups to schools starting at the 1st of june but this is a time as i mentioned when it's trying to inspire confidence from parents from retailers worried about reopening in the middle of june but at the same time it's still several days old now trying to stamp out this scandal at the heart of westminster may thanks very much indeed. iranian members of parliament elected in

february have been sworn in the overwhelming majority a conservative president haasan rouhani says he hopes the government and parliament can have a good working relationship for the last year of his time since ravi was listening to the president's speech and has more details from teheran he also said that the independence of each branch of government in the country does not necessarily mean that they have to be confrontational that they can cooperate and he said that my administration extend the hand of brotherhood towards the new parliament now his tone was very positive but you look if you look at the context of the relationship between the presidency and the parliament in the previous years if you look at the political context of what has happened to president hassan rouhani is specially since the collapse of the 2015 nuclear deal then you can understand that perhaps the content of his message the words he used could be seen as defensive this is a president who the previous parliament made 10 attempts to impeach ministers in

his cabinet and they succeeded in impeaching 3 of his ministerial cabinets this is the previous parliament that did this that was relatively more reformist leaning than the current parliament and if there are 2 more impeachments if he loses 2 more ministers then this presidency will have to go back to the parliament to achieve a vote of confidence to continue and finish out this last year in power now experts suggest that that is not going to happen that the government all branches all leaders want to see president hassan rouhani complete this and have a smooth transition into the next presidency but we have seen the readout from the supreme leader a message from him to this new parliament also said that it is the parliament's job to investigate the other branches of government. police in the u.s. are fired tear gas to disperse protesters calling for justice over the death of an unarmed black man while in custody in minneapolis there's been a widespread outrage after a video emerged showing an officer using his name to paint

a man identified as george floyd to the ground there are calls for the officers to face criminal charges john hendren has got this report and i've got to tell you there contains some images which viewers may find distressing protesters gathered by the hundreds to mark the death of another unarmed black man in police custody it happened a day after an all too familiar american seen with a black man pleads for help is he struggles to bring what he wants to bring. these are the images on a minneapolis street the man cries out in pain a policeman's knee on his neck. you remember. george floyd accused of check forgery is pressed down his face bloody a splinter group when they do. anything. bystanders plead with the

officers how. he later died in police custody it is the latest incident of a deadly confrontation between a white police officer and a black man captured on video you know on you would really be just really feel good i mean you wrote the city's police chief says he's been a sleepless night is citing what to do then fired the 4 officers at the scene i stand before you in the city of minneapolis here to say that our deepest condolences the city's mayor calls the death unacceptable being black in america should not be a death sentence for 5 minutes we watched as a white officer pressed his knee into the neck of a black man. for 5 minutes the scene bears an eerie resemblance to a 2014 incident in new york city where another black man eric garner says his last

words to the police officers restraining him i can't breathe after officers were cleared the guard case led to protests across the us police say george floyd had been resisting arrest bystanders said the force was clearly excessive and when it comes to excessive force in the us the pendulum has increasingly swung away from police in toward the alleged victim officer jason van dyke is now serving a 7 year prison term for this 2014 shooting in chicago with luke kwan mcdonald each week animals battle blah blah once again demonstrators massed as they've done after similar incidents in new york chicago baltimore and ferguson missouri to demand justice for african-americans across the u.s. and for the police at whose hands george floyd died john hendren al-jazeera chicago . ok it's time for the weather his rob i'm looking at the map behind you and it

tanzania as it begins to let's call it 19 restrictions but opposition politicians accuse the government of hiding the true scale of the outbreak. twitter has labeled 2 tweets on the u.s. president's official account as misleading for the 1st time and it refers users to fact check page donald trump says the social media company is stifling free speech and brian reports. was arguably twice as most famous using the us president donald trump has even said to us one him the white house thank you very much everybody now he's at the center of a twist a storm after the social media company flagged 2 of his tweets as misleading for the 1st time trump a tweeted to his 80000000 follow as that mail in ballots would lead to fraud twista said his claims were false and had been debunked by fact check is there are 2 areas

where twitter has said specifically they would be more aggressive one of those is misinformation around the virus so we've seen them take action against the brazilian president over that and then also on election misinformation so this is one of the 2 areas where they said they'd be more aggressive that they have never taken action in 3 and a half years of presidential tweets and there have been plenty that have been misleading trump has hit back accusing in a tweet if stifling free speech and interfering in the november election about well twice has now taken its 1st stamp against the president allen's eliot it refused to act another series of trump's tweets where he suggested former republican congressman and u.s. t.v. anchor joe scarborough may have been involved in the death of an end 1019 years ago it's a very suspicious thing and i hope. somebody gets to the bottom of it trumps tweeted

for years about the unfounded allegations even though laurie closer death was blamed on a hot issue last week a widow wrote an open letter to twitter pleading with it to delete the posts saying i'm asking you to intervene in this instance because the president of the united states has taken something that does not belong to him the memory of my did wife and perverted it for perceived political gain what the course souness's the entire family have had to endure for 19 years. it's unspeakably cruel for what whether it's the president or whether it's people following the president in his speak or bully crew or social media companies like twitter facebook and you tube have come under increasing pressure to act faster and more effectively against misinformation and hate speech on their platforms twitter says the president's posts about the t.v. host don't violate its terms of service though it's working to address issues like

this going forward thank you very much everybody thank you alexia brian al jazeera . mark owen jones is an assistant professor of middle east studies at harmonically for university but he's also an expert on twitter and digital if this information is joining us in doha via skype thanks very much indeed for being with us as alexei was saying in a report there it's taken about 3 years for twitter to take action like this why do you think it's taken so long. twitter of famously been very reticent to challenge donald trump as was mentioned he is too which is most well known customer his presence onto it is good for the platform in terms of advertising revenue and twitter have generally been lax in terms of approaching or tackling fake news so it's no surprise that they've waited so long before addressing this it does involve electoral interference but i'm sort of concerned that the fact that they've done

this now that they've put a warning on one of his tweets will just simply make people think that tweets are being proactive in tackling fake news and i think they will be reticent to actually do this again with donald trump is there any way of holding twitter to a current and making sure that this is not just as you say a one off but actually it does set a precedent not only of course for the president of the united states before anybody that falls under their specific. rules if you like for doing this kind of action. of course i mean it's very difficult to hold to its word counts they are a private company operating in the us and decisions to censor content aren't as was suggested just a reflection of it here it's to the tense conditions how to enforce that policy is fundamentally political we've seen this in how they suspend accounts or to gain engaging just information they will be more willing to tackle accounts that have been raised by the u.s. administration as a policy issue which by default makes them less likely to tackle those in the u.s.

government so there is an asymmetry and how to. adopt these procedures and there is a very there's an inability from civil society organizations across the globe to try and hold to account it's possible through pressure but it's very difficult and there's no sufficient mechanisms to actually really hold them. to be more transparent about such issues on the basis of those same mechanisms that you just talk about talked about does that mean that it's going to be difficult for the white house to do anything other than complain when twitter does something like this. in theory yes but we know that when donald trump complains about something whether it's press freedom or fake news then there often is take i think what's a now up to donald trump tweeted and criticize them for censoring free speech will be very aware that there will be potential consequences for this who knows what those consequences are but it's very clear that trump is attempting to intimidate them after this is occurred do you think that as users of twitter and other social

media platforms that we have become. very lax in the way in taking responsibility for checking facts that are given to us that we prefer to think of things essentially just handed to us and take them as face value and we should actually be taking more control bank individually. i think we should as individuals be taking more control and responsibility for what we post in repose however individual responsibility is not devoid of the atmosphere in which operates and i think in most certainly democratic societies where any societies people expect a certain amount from public officials and one of those expectations is an inherent a respect for the truth i think in the past 3 or 4 years in this post with environment especially with the likes of donald trump as president we've seen a fish oils with influence. playing scant regard to the integrity or the value of truth and i think this is having an impact on people's ability to one value the truth but also to trust public official officials and what they say really begin

really appreciate you giving us the benefit of your expertise in this mark owen jones thanks very much for your time. thank you and this is expected in the coming hours and whether a rwandan genocide suspect will be handed over to u.n. custody if so former businessman from he will go on trial at an international court is accused of helping finance the mass killings in 1904 and was arrested in paris after 26 years on the run attash has more. no wonder the businessmen. in the capital kigali in 19931 year before the genocide he's accused of helping to finance could google is alleged to have funded the ethnic roots to militias they killed at least 800000 ethnic tutsis moderate hutus in a 100 days could be go was it not for more than a quarter of a century is addressed in paris earlier this month has been welcomed by genocide survivors like it sends the mana. to measure rest but of

and we began to survey one location in we believe he was in the apartment but once until we open the door we carried out a d.n.a. test to confirm it was him the perry school to decide whether to hand could be go to un custody he could face extradition to tanzania to face trial in an international court also likely he would be transferred to the hague and then transferred to i was shot to face trial but it is still possible that the valid ety of the restaurant. would be a challenge and that the court would accept that argument it's unclear how one of the world's most wanted men was able to if they just dismiss so known it could be the das face trial it may provide some answers he might do so should lie to me extent to which the who wanted genocide was planned and officer vive has a sense that's off just so many years justice is finally being served in such about al-jazeera paris one of the biggest mining companies in the world rio tinto has
