country. and the mission not possible the weather holds the 1st launch of u.s. astronauts by a private company. welcome to the program the u.s. says hong kong's autonomy is gone the declaration by the secretary of state mike pompei effectively ends the territories longstanding special status with the united states and risks its position as a major financial and trade hub told congress that china was trying to model hong kong after itself by imposing a new security law he said hong kong special trade and economic treatment by the us should end well as protests continue in hong kong china has rejected a request for an emergency meeting of the un security council it's un ambassador called the u.s. the trouble my. of the world the hong kong security bill is set to be voted on

through on thursday and it's also the final day of the national people's congress in the chinese capital or katrina you joins me now live from beijing so we're expecting this final day of china's executive really to rubber stamp their decision at the annual congress to the dismay and anger of many in hong kong. yes that's right the hills so china seems determined to go ahead with this national security law despite this barrage of international criticism 3000 of china's leaders are gathering in beijing for this last day of the national people's congress there are 9 different agenda items and policies that they've been discussing over the past 7 weeks and the national security law is one of them they're going to vote on this 3 pm local time today and they're certainly going to provide a highly likely that they are going to pass this and it's been the line from beijing

from the foreign ministry from various ambassadors and from state me the media these past few days that china is within its rights to impose this national security law hong kong is part of china it's the duty of the central government to enforce national security so they've been very much defending this showing nor signs of backing down that i think that really demonstrates is vast disconnect between what beijing thinks and what the people in hong kong want and feel and this latest salvo from the u.s. asking the u.n. security council to convene a meeting that is only further infuriated china not had the opposite effect of trying to get it to back down china's ambassador to the u.n. has called this call ridiculous he said that the u.s. is a trouble maker of bullying china and not respecting this one country the one country part of the one country 2 systems policy of course just so stay with us for a moment katrina because there have been other developments on another issue causing us china tension and that's the canadian court that has ruled an

extradition case against war ways chief financial officer may when joe can go ahead he's wanted in the u.s. on charges of misleading a major bank on wall ways dealings with iran well this also means the growing tension between sort of china and the u.s. over what ways executive but also canada really coming in for some rebuke from the chinese. that's right canada is increasingly in hot water with china also china's foreign ministry has urged the canadian government to correct what it calls a mistake and it's also responded to this laces decision saying that the u.s. and canada are abusing this extradition treaty and that canada is acting as an accomplice to the u.s. in trying to bring down chinese technology companies now china of course has been on the back foot when it comes to qual way hallways the biggest tech giant here in

china does mobile communications it's famous for trying to push this international 5 g. network rollout and is trying to really provide that service to various countries around the world but there are lots of suspicions by foreign governments that chua way is under the influence of the chinese government and the chinese government suspects that this is the reason mung one joe the heiress of a has been targeted not only by canada but by the u.s. especially now both law way and the chinese government have continued to say that mung was innocent that she's being used as a pawn in this diplomatic all this geopolitical war and that she should be released and she of course has been detained for about one year and a half now and this the situation shows no signs of a vetting and home soon doesn't for the katrina thanks for the uptick to you there in beijing for us. let's head to the u.s. now where there's growing anger over the death of an unarmed black in u.s.

police custody is spreading to one of its largest cities hundreds of demonstrators have been on the streets of los angeles to demand justice for george floyd it comes after video emerged from the city of minneapolis on monday showing an officer pinning floyd to the ground with his knee well the minneapolis police chief has since fired the 4 officers who were involved there also calls a criminal charges but that has done little to stop the outrage looting and protests have broken out in the city for a 2nd day as large crowds of demonstrators hit the streets and police have used tear gas in an effort to disperse the crowds john hendren reports. the minneapolis police marched on demonstrators firing rubber bullets and chemical gas leaving them in govt in searing flames the protesters gathered by the hundreds despite a state wide coronavirus lockdown to mark the death of another unarmed black man in

police custody. george floyd accused of forgery cries out in pain a policeman's knee on his neck. you remember. bystanders plead with the officers. floyd later dies in police custody on it would really be just really cool gave me the rope police say he had been resisting arrest but in this newly released surveillance video taken before floyd was forced to the ground he's shown handcuffed and apparently cooperative this was not an isolated part of an ingrained systemic cycle of injustice is still exist in this country cuts at the very heart more sacred beliefs that all americans are equal in rights. the 4 officers on the scene were fired on tuesday but floyd's family says that's not

enough of the like for those office apps to be charged with murder. because that's exactly what they think merited. minneapolis is mayor joined in the demand for criminal charges and offense took place that you or i or many other people through our city would have been behind bars if they did yet this particular individual this officer was it could be months before it's clear whether charges will be filed the f.b.i. is investigating the incident as a possible civil rights violation murder convictions of on duty police officers are very rare but they do happen. demonstrators note a contrast when armed white protesters occupy michigan state house to oppose the coronavirus lockdown police offer little resistance. in minneapolis this largely black crowd is met with gas canisters and rubber bullets but some vowed to remain

in the streets to insist that no other unarmed african-american in the u.s. is killed by police john hendren al jazeera chicago let's get more on this now from rob ruggles all correspondent who joins me now on the line from los angeles rob it does seem now that the public are getting behind the demand for justice and it's not just happening in minneapolis. that's right the the the video that we just saw in john hendren to report has spread across the country it's been viewed widely on social media and on news programs and people are increasingly outraged at the scenes of george bush be. restrained in such a manner by many police here in los angeles the los angeles chapter of black lives matter decided to hold

a protest joined by some other groups they marched along streets in the downtown area briefly blocked one of the major freeways the highways in downtown los angeles not heard at this point of any. of those sorts of violent confrontations with police that we just saw in john's before from minneapolis no tear gas no no. violence although one the protester reportedly was injured when he fell off a police vehicle that. we're standing on but again this is evidence that this particular incident. much like previous incidents in ferguson missouri and other parts of the united states cleveland and minutes minneapolis. and many other

cities where. unarmed black people were restrained in such a manner by police that they died or were shot. without. really any due process is continuing it is soaking outrage and it is drawing. great national attention not only from. public figures and elected officials in minneapolis but also by the presumptive democratic nominee for president joe biden and many many others who are saying that this is an unacceptable type of situation indeed we'll be monitoring this nichols keeping a close eye on those pictures coming up from l.a. and minneapolis through the day for the moment rob thank you well white house says

the u.s. president donald trump is expected to sign executive order on social media companies in the coming hours night comes after twitter labeled 2 tweets in which he said postal votes would lead to fraud as misleading as the 1st time such a qualification has been added to a presidential tweet trump it back saying the company was stifling free speech and threatened to shut it down. well still ahead here on al-jazeera a minute's silence as spain begins 10 days of national mourning for those lost to the crow virus. but he was one of the world's most wanted man the court decides where a top suspect in the rwandan genocide could be crying. hello there and also about picture generally across much of the northeast of asia plenty of trout want to see shots that very well scattered says

a street thursday with the bulk of the rain once again will be through the southern areas of china and in particular across into taiwan some rather heavy rain that developing in the day now by friday again is mostly fine if a temperature is beginning to rise again 27 in seoul the same across in to take a there we could just see one or 2 scattered showers that by far the bulk of the rains only through central and eastern china this new front working its way eastward so sunny bringing the rain to shanghai later in the day thank you very much further to the south particularly through thailand cambodia vietnam you can see some heavy spells later in the day notice a bad day thursday across much of borneo so much of the malay peninsula but actually by friday we could see more rain back in the 4 calls to into somalia and developing late in the day into reston areas of the bornean also very widespread throughout much of the philippines the rather heavy downpours at times and heavy rain continues through much of the north these of india pushing across into myanmar further to the south as well but really the main story in india has to be the heat it is extremely high temperatures in the mid to high forty's celsius so not just

these 2 states but many states through central regions out to the northwest under an intense heat wave it'll stay hot and dry there with more rain down to the south in kerala. is amazing in the case to have the forest service here. sure again there isn't a lease term that has the potential to be biased in a number of different ways there are too many are for jury for the computer to get a wrong who's checking those offices who commit those data entry is wrong to be saying that your son the tonight is wrong to smile and tell you a killer becoming a suspect before the actual crime and then depth examination into preventative policing pre-crime on al-jazeera.

put a bucket watching undeservedly still rob a reminder of our top stories growing anger over the death of an unarmed black man in the us police custody has spread to los angeles where hundreds of protesters have been on the streets meanwhile in minneapolis where george floyd died police have used tear gas to disperse demonstrators. and the u.s. secretary of state has told congress that hong kong special status with america should end as it's no longer autonomous from china becomes as beijing prepares to impose a new security go on home grown which is sparked more protests let's get more on this with mr yang role he's a vice president and senior research fellow at the china institute of international studies and joins me now from beijing good to have you with us on the program thanks for your time how concerned will beijing be about any report going to the

u.s. congress and dealing with hong kong's sort of financial dealings with the usa. well i think. they are just decision. establishing and improving the legal system and implementation the maccan in them of a national income were adopted and today at the national people's congress and of their purpose for having that dark decision is meant to address the loopholes national security in security issues in a calm and it is as essential as a sovereign state and central government of china or their right like any other sovereign state united states in cruelty and that they have a right to do that and the day i get to do that i think and i said it meant to

address and look. behind me and i am going to jump in a sock that's what i'm i'm going to jump in this wrong because the question was would beijing care about what the u.s. say or do with regard to taking this matter to their own legislature will to then deal with home call and with china in the status that they offer to hong kong will beijing actually be bothered about that. well china i certainly hope that united states were to understand the reasons and purposes. of formulating the decision and let us just leave your system sure national security. and the china also has a very clear central government and. that. it is aimed at important national security like you know it's too early and so we

only hope that you understand what the what china. channel what the take all and that's when it come to mess to respond and it think that that what they're undermining china's national security ok if that's the case then will it matter if for example financial institutions are very away from hong kong if the u.s. removes the status it offers to hong kong or places in direct sanctions on hong kong in a similar way so they react in the way that they treat iran it succeeded to a certain point with iran and if the u.s. uses this methodology on china how do you think beijing is going to react. her income i see in the stability and prosperity of the hunt camp and of their status and national not find then sure. so that was sent to serve the interests of all certainly in the interest that one can't and china and in croydon in 40 in

vast turns out that from other countries states i see only hope that the united states would not do that but as you say they have been sanctioned but they're essential and other countries for its own purpose are. so-called national security and if you're not that these countries i think of these countries. as you so i don't think the sanctions saying what they're in the way that undermine china's determination and that rather in the end i think the world and the up. and down behind its own each is encouraging that the u.s. there is in this community. it'll be interesting to see what does happen certainly in the coming weeks for them oh mr yang wrong thanks so much for joining us from beijing so thanks for your time the united states has become the 1st

country in the world to record 100000 deaths from corona virus the total number of infections in the u.s. is just shy of $1700000.00 but it still looks new restrictions aimed at stopping the pandemic kristen salumi reports the beginning of summer in the u.s. and a cautious reopening of beaches along the popular new jersey shore in new york city parks sun seekers are kept apart with circles on the grass while outside san francisco city hall the homeless are space to abide by social distancing guidelines all part of the new normal as the country emerges from lockdown. but amid the slow reopening a grim milestone the death toll from coded 19 has now claimed more than 100000 american lives a far cry from the confident statements just a few months ago from the u.s. president will see what happens but we have the greatest doctors in the world we

have a very bad just to grow very aggressively we've had the u.s. accounts for almost a 3rd of the world's coded 1000 deaths a damning statistic some say for the world's richest country it says a lot about our public health system and it says a lot about how seriously we took this at the beginning. it says a lot about what we need to improve for the future this is really a wait and a time to be even to realize how important public health by comparison code 19 has proven to be worse than other recent virus outbreaks the 2003 sars epidemic did not claim a single life in the u.s. in 2009 the age one n one pandemic claimed the lives of 12469 americans with covert 19 no one can say for certain what the final u.s. death toll will be. since march citizens have had to endure weeks of restrictions

and lots of distress trying to stay safe from the virus but a new columbia university study found that imposing a lockdown even a week earlier could have saved tens of thousands more lives based on the overall premise that lives could have been saved had social distancing been in place earlier yes in theory we waited too long to implement those social distancing measures hindsight is always 2020 so of course we know that now i think at the time there was it wasn't clear how widespread the virus was with the vaccine still a long way from being available it's clear the threat from covert 19 would linger over summer shaping up to be unlike any other in living memory christian salumi al-jazeera now a 10 day mourning period has begun in spain to remember more than 27000 people have died during the krona virus pandemic can philippe and members of the government hold a minute's silence in madrid lines have also been lowered across the country spain

isolation the virus has been slowly spreading through indigenous communities some critical patients from remote parts of the amazon rain forest have been lifted to hospitals in the house and the city's mayor has accused all sonority of impeding efforts to stop the spread of the virus smuggle repeller is following developments from mexico city president datable so now is facing more pressure every single day he's at the center of this political controversy in brazil he continues to downplay the severity of the outbreak in his country and he's continuing to make more enemies every day with state governors on tuesday evening we heard about the police raids against 2 of the residents of the governor of the state of. rio de janeiro we're hearing more raids took place earlier on wednesday against against some of the president's critics so this is some of the response that we're seeing in terms of of the backlash against the windowing support base within the bill sonars

government the governor. has now cycled through 2 different health ministers one of them resigned the other one quit again the president is still sort of downplaying the severity of this crisis and that there is a scenario that could play out were both so narrow is ousted from office before he's able to finish his term in office if these allegations that he is a threat to public safety turn into charges we could potentially see impeachment proceedings against jaipal sonata. a french court has refused to grant bail to a rwandan genocide suspect of affairs that he would flee for the lawyers said he should be released because of poor health he's accused of bankrolling armed groups who massacred 8 100002 seize a moderate hutus in 1994 computer was arrested in a paris suburb almost 2 weeks ago but i should butler has more. well of the end of the hearing the court rejected philly's request to be released under court

space center open to the public closed down no one allowed to come in there in fact a lot of the administrators here and the staff your said publicly and really pushed in the weeks ahead of this launch was stay away watch this obviously would love you to be here and see the launch in person but if you can't watch it at home watch it on the internet watching on t.v. . group several of the key viewing spots around kennedy space center will close down as well but driving in this morning you still saw people lining the beaches and roadways coming in to k.s.c. and a lot of people just could not stay away so it does mean a lot to a lot of people across the country. and finally the american writer and problem an aids activist larry kramer has died he was a key figure in raising awareness of hiv aids in the u.s. when it emerged in the early ninety's and eighty's later co-founded the act of movement that campaigned the treatment and civil rights of people living with the disease his work seen through the award winning play the normal heart about the
