and development interests as well as hong kong's long term prosperity and stability . but critics say this will take away the territories streatham and autonomy the u.s. secretary of state michael i'm pale is recommending to congress that hong kong special economic status be revoked if that happens it could jeopardize hong kong status as a global financial hub meanwhile 3 produce. politicians have been kicked out of hong kong's legislature during a heated debate on a proposed law seeking to ban any mocking of china's national anthem for beijing politicians say the distractions show that national security laws aren't necessary i love how it passed. we can see that some legislators are openly asking foreign countries to impose sanctions on hong kong it's clear their own fighting external force to interfere with hong kong's affairs this kind of behavior must be stopped watching the chaos that unfolded in the legislative council this morning one should

understand why it's necessary for the national people's congress to impose national security rules in hong kong live to katrina you in beijing for us or katrina as expected the national people's congress has approved plans for a security law for hong kong what happens next. that's where the national people's congress voted overwhelmingly in favor of passing this law no surprise there was a pre-approved policy now from here on we know that the details will now be discussed and put into place over the next few weeks we know generally that this law will allow beijing to have a heavier hand in clamping down on those pro-democracy protests which have been a thorn in beijing side since they began last june and that they will apply changes to hong kong's basic law its many constitution and doing in doing this they will completely bypass the hong kong legislative process now we do know so far that this law has 7 articles which bans as you mentioned earlier secession any subversion it also bans foreign interference and it will also include the setting up of chinese

security offices in hong kong as well as enhancing patriotic education in the territory not once these details are finalized they could be enacted this law could be enacted as early as august or september now carry hong kong flu has also just released a statement saying that she supports the passing of this law and that beijing has done this simply because hong kong's legislature was able to she's welcomed it and says that hong kong will work with beijing to enact and complete this law but this is likely to further destabilize the a ready tense relations between the u.s. and china that area. that's right that's right china and the u.s. that the bilateral relationship has really reached a new low point and on this issue china has just dug in its heels saying that the u.s. is meddling in its internal affairs when it comes to this hong kong security law

it's called a troublemaker and a bully especially in relation to 2 murders that the u.s. has made one being the u.s. calling for a u.n. security council meeting to discuss this issue and secondly the u.s. as you mentioned threatening to revoke hong kong special trading status and treating it just as another area of the mainland when it comes to trade now officials in china say that they're not afraid of these measures that they're preparing for a financial war and really it has come to the stage where beijing has acknowledged that the bilateral relationship has descended sort of badly that they seem not to be afraid of any of these consequences and for a few weeks now these hostilities have been heating up in terms of verbal jabs the 2 sides have been making at each other not just in relation to the security law but in relation to the coronavirus in relation to trade complaints as well so really we're at a stage where chinese foreign the chinese foreign minister has said that they have

reached a new cold war and even china's defense minister has acknowledged that the rivalry is now at a high risk and it seems that these both sides are one step closer to a possible confrontation thank you for that katrina unite in beijing protesters in hong kong say they're now concerned about the implications of the new law oh you know just how far back or joy if there really is a national security agency established in hong kong then what will happen to the protesters doesn't the x. generation need to be taken into reeducation camps like those in shin jang i think this is the most worrying thing to all the people here whatever we get the feel or whatever the outcome of people is we'll i don't mean the chinese government will feel guilty and so and so i think these feelings exactly will maybe that's feeling the are the more he really is more direct because he's going to speak. and protesters in taiwan have thrown their support behind hong kong pro-democracy

capital seoul are to close again for 2 weeks and employees urged to adopt flexible working practices because of concerns about a 2nd wave of infections let's speak to rob mcbride in seoul about this so rob how wearing is this new outbreak. it is a troubling development for south korea a country which does believe this is theirs handled the outbreak it is crushed the curve is that as they say and this outbreak is now behind this as you mentioned there most of these new cases are based around this warehouse distribution center just outside of the capital seoul 'd operated by one of the largest e-commerce companies here which ironically has been working flat out since the start of this outbreak because of course everybody is choosing to shop online rather than going to stores and it does seem as though in the crowded conditions inside parts of this

warehouse facility where you've had lots of people working together you've had them sharing meals in cafeterias taking smoke breaks together maybe not wearing biases that as they should have done you have seen this outbreak now the authorities have identified up 244000 potential cases of people who may have come into contact with people from this warehouse either other workers or their family members and as they do in south korea have very quickly in the space of a couple of days now work through nearly all of those 4000 people they have identified a number of cases and expect to see other cases being identified the concern is of course that it spreads further than this warehouse into the wider community and that's why we have seen the reimposition of some of these restrictions which have been lifted gradually over the past couple of weeks things like museums galleries being opened well they now have to shut again for another couple of weeks schools which have been reopening they stay open for the moment but people have been told

organizations to avoid large gatherings and events and hopefully the author ities believe they may well if they have acted quickly enough manage to contain this and stop it becoming could be coming anything more serious as you said rob south korea has been praised around the world for how it's handled this pandemic but how well prepared is it to deal with a possible 2nd wave. well there is a reminder of just what south korea as the rest of the world is dealing with mean people have been looking to south korea for answers this also serves as a warning for the rest of the world south korea does have very sophisticated tracing mechanisms in place that if they traced back this latest outbreak of full 7 steps of infection to an earlier outbreak 2 weeks ago based around a number of nightclubs in ito one is the entertainment district of seoul where you've had a couple of 100 cases being reported so it is just a reminder of just how infectious this is and of the problems that countries face

as they eventually they get beyond the initial outbreak but as they start to open up then you do get breaks of this infection that just keep on returning thank you for that rob mcbride live for us in seoul. while the united states has become the 1st country in the world to record 100000 deaths from the coroner virus almost 1700000 americans have been infected by the country's so listening restrictions aimed at stopping the spread of the pandemic christianson army has now 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

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 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 will linger over a summer shaping up to be unlike any other in living memory christian salumi al-jazeera
