2:02 pm
will be used to stamp whole forms of dissent and they've already been spontaneous protests in hong kong and some opposition parties have announced they're disbanding the u.k. the e.u. japan and taiwan have criticised the law but china has dismissed their concerns as interference in internal affairs that's been in katrina you in beijing for is katrina this was a swift and secretive process and they've been meetings ongoing about this but we're still waiting to hear about the precise details of the still that's right fully so we know the latest is that president xi jinping china's president has officially signed this law this is the final step for any law that gets passed here on the mainland so officially it's all set it's signed and sealed but when it will exactly be delivered in hong kong well we expect that will happen july the 1st tomorrow on wednesday which is the anniversary of the handover of hong kong from britain back to mainland china 23 years ago now we know this afternoon
2:03 pm
all hong kong delegates to china's national people's congress that is china's palm and took part in meetings that were held forth in hong kong and in beijing and they were given a summary of the law no details but they were basically told that this law will act as a deterrent for anybody trying to destabilize hong kong and earlier today at 9 am local time on tuesday china standing committee as you mentioned voted to pass this law unanimously and we know that this is a hefty law it has 6 chapters and 6 articles in it and really this was tremendously fast tracked by beijing or only about 40 days after it was 1st announced during china's national people's congress which really does demonstrate beijing's determination to stamp out the pro-democracy movement in hong kong as expected katrina the international community has been very critical of this nor any other new legislation in acted on hong kong how is beijing reacting to this criticism.
2:04 pm
that's right we've had some condemnation already from the u.k. from taiwan from japan essentially expressing their displeasure saying that this will not be good for the whole calls rights for whole business and encouraging beijing to pull back from the brink when it comes to an acting the slow well china's foreign ministry responded to these criticisms earlier at this afternoon on cheers day then saying basically that they had no intention of doing so let's hear what a spokesperson jelly gent had to say on the matter. to china has already made clear its position on the japanese opinion regarding hong kong issues hong kong as if it is a chinese internal affairs that there is no place for foreign interference this improvement of the legal system and its enforcement mechanism for upholding national security in hong kong is in accordance with the one country 2 systems rule . so as we've heard that the chinese government is at pains to try to convince the
2:05 pm
international community that this national security law is good for hong kong good for its stability its prosperity and good for its future but as we've seen it's having a very tough time convincing the international community of this and some of the strongest criticism we've had is actually from the u.s. and some u.s. politicians like pompei u.s. secretary of state has threatened in fact that in beijing goes ahead with this law that the u.s. may withdraw some of the special freedoms the u.s. grants to hong kong which allows it to function as an international financial center and that threat has infuriated and they have in fact responded in recent weeks saying that they have no intention of backing down they've said that they will not be intimidated by any foreign governments and that they will enact their own retaliatory measures if the u.s. does go ahead with that katrina you in hong kong in beijing sorry thank you very much for that meanwhile hong kong's chief executive kerry lama says since last june the territory has been traumatized by escalating violence found by external forces
2:06 pm
no central government could turn a blind eye to such straits to suffer and national security as well as resource of the ship of state powell or in all these acts have crossed the one country red line and called for resolute action as the highest organ of state power in china the national people's congress has to constitutional and the duty to enact national security legislation for the hong kong as. marley is the founding chairman of the united democrats which became the democratic party of hong kong he also became the face of the democracy movement in the lead up to the 1997 handover he explained to hong kong's power is being eroded. my party will stay on and i will stay in hong kong of course we realize that the prospects of our being put into prison would be very high but the prestige of this law but what is really frustrating is that even
2:07 pm
though b. no this law will be operative tomorrow none of us have seen a copy of it so we don't know what sort of offenses we might be committing tomorrow i mean this is ridiculous but i'm not too concerned about the actual contents of it because i expect them to be very good code in and and reasonable but the real impact on is much 3rd that is much more serious than that what this piece of legislation in fact for me means what it is that when the british government returned hong kong to the people's republic of china 23 years ago it was on the promise of dumb show the then paramount head of china that hong kong will be run by hong kong people with a high degree of autonomy which means that apart from defense and foreign affairs
2:08 pm
we the people of hong kong will be masters of our own house in terms of the executive power the edge of that power and judicial power now that a person who does not everything is cheap instead of hong kong people born in hong kong is now the communist party bordering on instead of being enjoyed a high degree of autonomy now the communist party will be ruling with comprehensive power control now this is what this war is all about that they are now actually defining the new position. which is it's just another chinese city we have no degree of a country and all that is this is a problem. the complete control of even our courts this is what we would do not with every case the dish the code at the ready there is no issue to some small number of cases china. and other world news

level up provide vast amounts of financial support to the left behind communities around the u.k. like this and that was in december before the virus even came here all that's done is to massively amplify enormous problems that were already there many of these places don't even have a railway line connecting them to the big cities but even if that's what the government side via of infrastructure spending looks like it's directly at odds with what the rhonda says it really needs which is a new sustainable local economy to replace the one that disappeared we've suffered in the past where jobs have been created by large companies are coming in and taking grants and exploited no wage labor and then up sticks and left as soon as the economic conditions change if we would be able to invest in people owning their own businesses in the form of cooperatives people actually own in the means of production then they're more likely to stay in these communities and i see no reason at all why government can't be investing in that way now and what will
2:14 pm
johnson do to immediately replace all those jobs lost in the 1st half of this year big infrastructure plans take years to get off the ground if you want economics to represent a kind. of britain then you have to turn the other than just spend money on projects it's all about ensuring communities can be sustainable can thrive and people can find prosperity in every part of every kind of community in every city in every region of the u.k. and that goes a long way beyond pouring concrete on the economic situation in places like this is so dire that arguably anything is better than nothing but if what's on offer is something like a new railway line to get people out it isn't the same as finding ways they can stay largely al-jazeera in the wrong valley. still ahead on al-jazeera india's prime minister addresses the nation giving his assessment of the coronavirus spend demick response. to

2:22 pm
khartoum tell us how big the protests are here and what's been happening so far. well fully 1st of all the process was this is thought as 1 pm local time that's around 11 g. we've seen many people take to the streets in various parts of the country various states earlier than the announced time now they're saying that they want to put pressure on the transitional government to complete because of the revolution that's because since the formation of the government last august there has not been a transitional legislative assembly formed and there has been no civilian governor appointed all the governors who are in place or nearly all governors who are in place at the moment where those that were appointed during bashir signed when he was president before he was ousted in 29 people have been taken to the streets earlier than they expected time to show to the government that they want those goals of the revolution to be fulfilled but let's be very clear there are 2 groups of people out on the streets there are people who are supporting the government but trying to pressurize them to complete the goals of the revolution then there are

2:24 pm
fact that the economic conditions have not improved illegitimate and they want this government gone now we've seen them. coming out on live on social media saying that they want their protests but it's also seen some members including the acting head of the former ruling party putting out a statement saying that they do not support the rally now incidentally the head of the acting head of the former ruling party ibrahim one dude has been arrested last night the security paris's that have accused him of trying to instigate people to go out on the streets and commit what they say is some sort of sets up a college the movement to to try to get people to vandalise and disable lies the process that the government say they have been securing we've seen the military blocking roads blocking bridges restricting movement of people in the streets there are 3 parts of the of the state so they're saying that the former ruling party is trying to sabotage and destabilize that which would lead them forward security forces to fire on protesters and back would lead to loss of life and that is something they say they're trying to avoid thank you for that paper morgan live for
