a virtual session on the ethiopian river nile down project that's caused a bitter dispute with egypt and sudan. it's the development hong kong's pro-democracy movement feared the most hong kong media reporting that china's top legislative body has begun voting on a national security law for the territory criminalizing acts of dissent and imposing heavy penalties for offenders well the chinese communist party has released virtually no details of the bill it's expected it's going to reshape the future of the financial center and drive another way edge in relations between china and the u.s. beijing has taken up the run precedented step of circumventing hong kong's own legislature to impose the bill directly on to the city let's get reaction out of hong kong adrian brown's live for us now we've seen significant and often violent

protests in hall against this bill and other positions of chinese authority in hong kong over the last few months how do you think that people are going to react today . well i think this law is going to have a chilling effect on people here in hong kong as to whether there are going to be any protests that his hard to say i think the spark has really gone out of the protest movement that much is clear and that's partly down to the police acting in a much more assertive way now this law of course is going to come as no surprise to the people of hong kong we knew $33.00 days ago exactly what the intentions of the chinese government was now this is all happened as i say in just $33.00 days normally it takes china's parliament perhaps years to get a law like this passed but you know china's parliament has done this in record time

and that i think is a reflection of just how impatient china's leaders are for this law to take effect in hong kong now as you say the people of hong kong have not even seen a draft of this legislation a few days ago we heard from the justice secretary who said that she was fully supportive of this law but admitted she hadn't seen the details contained in it so what we're going to get hopefully later today is more details and you know a clear understanding of exactly what this law will be there's been plenty of speculation rob during the past few weeks growing speculation that perhaps you know in some cases you know chinese law is going to override hong kong law and could in some circumstances lead to people accused of a crime regarding national security in hong kong being sent back to the mainland to face trial we heard yesterday from a member of the national people's congress standing committee who's from hong kong

who said he understood that the minimum sentence for crimes relating to secession subversion could be up to 10 years and the maximum could be life but again what the people of hong kong want are clear details. and for now they simply haven't had those details there's also of course going to be an impact on the economy of hong kong which is absolutely key to the area and to the region as well and it was just recently the u.s. had said that it was going to stop exporting its sensitive military items to hong kong because it was revoking the hong kong special status there's going to be huge concern that this is going to affect investment in hong kong what's the chances we're going to see people pulling out of him pulling the money out of hong kong well certainly you are seeing the starts of a brain drain here in hong kong a few days ago rob i was speaking to a 43 year old man who works for

a government department and he essentially said that you know he had decided to leave with his wife and 2 children and he said sitting here talking to you i feel like i'm a criminal or a dissident and i said well why do you feel that way he said because that's the impact that this new law is having on the atmosphere here in hong kong so the fact he felt compelled to say that gives you know idea of the sort of mood here in hong kong right now now you could sort of times people like him 510020000 perhaps 30000 people who are going to vote with their feet and leave hong kong as to who will replace them what he said almost certainly those people will come from the mainland there are paid plenty of high qualified people on the mainland who speak good english who could quite easily fill the void left behind adrian i know we're going to be checking in with you as this story develops throughout the day but for now that's adrian brown live for us in hong kong thank you. and the worst is yet to

a law that places restrictions on doctors who perform abortions in louisiana the surprise decision comes despite fierce opposition from conservative justices the vote was 5 to 4 with conservative chief justice john roberts siding with the 4 liberal members of the court it's the 1st big abortion case since trump appointed 2 new justices shifting the court's political balance to the right anti abortion activists staged a protest outside the supreme court melanie sloan is a former federal prosecutor and a partner at summer strategies it's a public affairs from she says this ruling is not necessarily a victory for abortion rights activists. it is really just following the letter of the law nobody should get too excited about thinking john roberts is a liberal in this particular case the supreme court had heard of virtually identical case just a few years ago there was really no substantial difference between this case and

he's considering it texas. and what john roberts did in this case was a precedent should hold and at the same time he also took something away to which is he said that in future cases that there are many many of course in case it's still in the pipeline at the appellate courts right now he is changing the burden somewhat from previously looking at whether a restriction causes an undue burden to now considering whether there are substantial obstacles so it may be that in your haste says i he's paving the way for it to be easier than the supreme her to holder's strict abortion laws there are several other cases in the pipeline coming in the next couple of years and they do have more states and cavanagh who have staked out very clear and hard line positions on abortion and roberts has never been a friend of abortion he's anti-abortion so i think in a different a different case with
