the trouble maker of the wild the hong kong security bell is set to be voted through on thursday that's the final day of the national people's congress in the chinese capital will algeria's crestor reports now from washington d.c. . the united states' special economic relationship with hong kong dates back to the territory's time under british rule since then and even after hong kong's return to china in 1907 the us has granted hong kong special trade protections helping it become a global commercial hub where international companies operate freely and u.s. tariffs and visa requirements imposed on mainland china don't touch but now that could change u.s. secretary of state mike pump ales report to congress on wednesday means president trump is now free to revoke hong kong special status and treat it like the rest of china seems to be quite frustrated and angry with china about the spread of 19

around the world and blames the chinese. so he may be willing to go ahead and do this seems. just to be less interested in making progress with china trump has been less vocal about the aggressive police response to pro-democracy protests in hong kong but the state department says with a new national security law set to be imposed by mainland china the territory of hong kong no longer enjoys a high degree of autonomy and thus no longer deserves special treatment well my guess is that the trumpet administration would like to deter china from going ahead with with passing this law sanctions on hong kong would be harmful to mainland china but suffering the most would be the people of hong kong themselves after months of brutal police crackdowns and a pandemic that's put its economy on thin ice the island is now squeezed between

beijing's promise of even harsher security crackdowns and washington's threat to undermine its prosperity. hi joe castro al-jazeera washington well our correspondent katrina you now joins us from beijing katrina so today is effectively a rubber stamping process for this storm despite all the opposition we've seen that's right voting seems determined to go ahead with this national security law despite of international criticism right now 3000 china's communist party members are meeting in beijing for the last day of the national people's congress and this afternoon local time they're going to vote to pass a variety of laws including the national security law and it's certainly going to go through the last few days we've had the same line from beijing that it is a job of the central government to enforce national security and that this will be good for hong kong stability which is really emphasize this huge disconnect between beijing and what the people hong kong want and feel but beijing has shown simply no

interest in listening to pro-democracy activists pro-democracy politicians all the u.s. on this issue and in regard to the u.s. request to convene a u.n. security council meeting well china's ambassador to the u.n. have bonded to this request saying that it rejects this that this this is an internal affair has nothing to do with the u.n. security council and as i asked the u.s. to stop what it calls bullying practices in katrina stay with me because there have also been developments on another issue that's been causing us china tension a canadian court has now ruled an extradition case against huawei a chief financial officer can go ahead she is wanted in the united states on charges of misleading a major bank on fourways dealings with iran katrina as we've been saying beijing is already less than pleased with the u.s. presumably about candidates. absolutely turner's relationship with canada is deteriorating further the chinese embassy in canada released

a statement saying that it opposes this move that the us and canada are abusing the extradition treaty and accusing canada of being an accomplice of the u.s. in trying to bring down chinese technology companies now joe is the daughter of a who is the founder of huawei a huge more violent telecommunications company which is trying quite aggressively to expand its presence overseas and roll up the 5 g. networks and many governments including the u.s. oppose this because they say quality is under the influence of beijing now beijing has denied this and says that mungo is simply being used as a political pawn but we have to remember that it also appears that china has its own political points there are 2 canadians mike of coverage and michael will who have been detained by beijing on spying charges now denies that these 2 cases a link but these 2 men were arrested by beijing shortly after joe was detained in

canada in december 2018 and analysts say that this latest legal development does not bode well for the future of these 2 men who are currently locked up and they ching catrina you there for us in the chinese capital thanks very much katrina. is a program associate at the wilson center as kissinger institute which looks at us china relations she says it's likely the u.s. is using money as leverage and its ongoing trade war with china. this ruling has been something that i think canada has through diplomatic channels communicated to china to expect. the ruling is as indicated set that for her lawyers and within china this is definitely a much more than just a case of a one business executive acting in appropriately to subvert sanctions this is

seen as a piece of a larger scale. us china competition and technologies that while away is producing and selling and the political ramifications of those products in the united states this is also been something that leadership has loot into broader policy at and policy interests in china i believe president trump has brought joe as a possible collateral in some of his negotiations with china so i think at this point this is only emboldened you know china's perception that this isn't just a sort of. conventional white collar prosecution case. now moving to some other news an anger is spreading in the united states over the

death of an unarmed black man who was pinned to the ground by police in minneapolis just in the past few hours protesters demanding justice at the george floyd have come out of the hundreds and downtown los angeles they were all parts of a freeway and surrounded highway patrol cars and in minneapolis large crowds are out again for police officers that have been fired but the family of george floyd and the city's mayor according to criminal charges protesters have surrounded the police precinct where the 4 were based and there's also been looting of a nearby store the protests are now into this 2nd day and as new video emerges the no at the george friends family has spoken of a pandemic of racism 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 at the rear. of the about george floyd accused of forgery cries out in pain a policeman's knee on his neck. giving her. bystanders plead with the officers. floyd later dies in police custody on it would really help them yes maybe you'll get me the growth 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 a nice thing this is part of an ingrained systemic cycle of injustice is still exists which cuts at the very heart more sacred least of all americans are equal rights. the 4 officers on the scene were fired on tuesday but floyd's family

says that's not enough. for the officer to be charged with murder. because this is exactly what they did they murdered. minneapolis is mayor joined in the demand for criminal charges an 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 well let's get more now from rob reynolds who joins us on the line from los angeles rob i say that several 100 protesters were out there today do you get the sense that this will be a sustained movement. it's quite possible this video of the death of george lloyd which we saw in john hendren story just a few moments ago has sparked a lot of outrage all over the country and earlier tonight when the being here in los angeles there were several 100 protesters they converged on the downtown area and marched around the civic center in los angeles and several. group of the protesters then broke away and entered a freeway

a large highway that courses through the center of the city block both sides of that highway and were then confronted by police a patrol car attempted to drive through the crowd and from the video that we've seen from the from the scene it appears that the one of the police cars and allies one of the protesters during the confrontation one protester who had climbed onto the police vehicle was injured after he fell off at the vehicle away that both that protester then received some medical attention eventually the marchers left the freeway but continued to protest in the downtown area the. the los angeles police chief michael moore issued a statement earlier calling the video of george. apprehension by minnesota

minneapolis police department disturbing so whether this continues that all. is a matter of conjecture but it certainly seems that it has brought a nerve not only in minnesota not only in minneapolis but across the country. looking for anyone to own one of those developments very closely rob reynolds that our correspondents and in los angeles thanks will. still ahead here on al-jazeera a new survey suggests that brazil's president may have misjudged the public mood on social distancing. and a french court decides where the top suspect in the rwandan genocide should be tried.

into florida towards the end of the we have seen some very heavy rain in florida but also down into cuba some big storms a come 3 in the last 24 hours and this is the result of that now is thought that russia a couple of tornadoes that did this damage for the same time some very heavy amounts of rain and there are more rain in the forecast on thursday and they will tend to linger into friday. the 1st glimpse of the challenges faced by journalists. if. we are fighting the fake fake phony the enemy of the people through yards of the federal white house correspondent what do you base your legs on the shares are down the press is not after trump is after the we're not the enemy of the people we are the usa the current battleground to physics anywhere on.

the. program. let's remind you about top stories this hour is growing anger over the death of an unarmed black man in the u.s. police custody that spread to los angeles hundreds of protesters have been on the streets there meanwhile in minneapolis where george ford died and police have used tear gas to disperse demonstrations. the u.s. secretary of state has told congress that hong kong special status with the u.s. should end since the territory is no longer autonomous from china it comes as beijing prepares to impose a new security law on hong kong just about more protests. and a canadian court has ruled an extradition case against whoa wait chief financial

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 outside san francisco city hall the homeless are space to abide by social distancing guidelines all part of a 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 hard just to grow very aggressively we've had the u.s. accounts for almost a 3rd of the world's code 19 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 covert 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 the 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 just 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 a summer shaping up to be unlike any other in living memory christian salumi 0 when a temporary coronavirus hospital has now opened in the brazilian city of the else to help to treat the indigenous population now despite their isolation the virus has been slowly spreading through that community some critical patients from remote parts of the amazon rainforest have been airlifted to hospitals in the us and the city's mayor has accused president diable sonar of impeding efforts to stop the spread of the virus while most brazilians support strict a social distancing measures to tackle the spread of code that 1000 that's according to a seve and it's also in stark contrast to what both sonar once he's repeatedly

behind and accepting a union of haves and have does not have not all we want that road to gether we take that leap forward we pave a strong past for our people and for the next generation and for me the choice is simple i want us to take a new bold step to gether well the international labor organization says young people will be hardest hit by coronavirus job losses more than one in 6 have already stopped working and the ilo says the pandemic risks creating a lockdown generation with many under 24 is facing a long career setbacks. we run the risk group creating a situation in this. which will have lasting effects as we recover from them well a lot of young people are simply going to be where we are. and big numbers and the

danger is and again this is the lesson of the experience is that this initial shock to young people will last a decade or longer than a decade it will affect the trajectory of working people young working people throughout their working lives now boeing has restarted production of its 737 max plane more than a year after it was grounded following 2 fatal crashes the jet hasn't flown commercially in over a year since an ethiopian airlines plane crashed shortly after takeoff boeing says low level production of the 737 max is underway but it still needs to be cleared by regulators before it can fly it comes on the same day that boeing said it was cutting more than 12000 u.s. jobs because of the coronavirus. thousands of people have been killed in the democratic republic of congo fighters from the allied democratic forces launched an attack on a village in

in florida it's obviously this is a new page a new chapter in u.s. space exploration bringing a private company in to that footprint of space is something that has never been done before and frankly when you talk to both sides of this space x. so boeing is involved as well and mass it seems to be working almost seamlessly here of course nasa has complete control over go nogo and other primary issues but it's a mission team that's run by space x. and because of the growth of virus those team members only half were actually in their seats in mission control the other have working from all here and again it seemed like everything went just the way it should when you talk physically about what it was like here because of cold 19 the general viewing area here at kennedy space center open to the public closed down no one allowed to come in there in fact what a lot of the administrators here and the staff here said publicly and really pushed
