secretary of state has again condemned the law saying china promised 50 is afraid of falling kong but only gave it $23.00. free hong kong was one of the world's most stable prosperous and dynamic cities now now will be just another communist run city where its people we subject to the party elites whims it's sad indeed this is already happening security forces are already rounding up on congress for doing to speak and think freely the rule of law has been eviscerated and as always the chinese communist party fears its own people more than anything else. and the british prime minister barak's johnson has confirmed that the government is creating a new route from to 3000000 hong kong residents to live and work in the u.k. i will hear from our white house correspondent kimberly helka shortly but 1st we have sarah cox report from hong kong. despite the searing heat and defying a police ban thousands of protesters marched to test the new national security the

legislation was fast tracked in record time in beijing and in acted on july the 1st the 23rd anniversary of britain's handover to chinese rule as sad as it makes me say so all of it is yes. china is china it's all going home it's china as of today 1st of july it's a sad day but that's what it is but i also take to the streets are still say what i think because it's my right as a human being. i protested started marching chanting 3 hometown lang out they key demands i need to be met by a line of riot police but this group of demonstrators say it's they duty to stand up to china they law enforcement in hong kong what they always do is you are allowed to protest and make their arrest later so i today i come out and an out and one out it dictatorship knowing full well that probably i'll get arrested i'll try

. the scope of the national security is far reaching article 38 says it can essentially target anyone anywhere extradition to china for trial and a maximum sentence of life in prison faces vandalizes of the legislation people were arrested during wednesday's rally for breaking the new no they were in position of items cooling the hong kong's independence from china police sealed off the area fired the water cannon and tear gas and pepper balls to break up the crowd police say one officer was stabbed in the. strategy by police on wednesday was a cordon off carries where the practices had gathered at one time times. i feel like i owe much protest rival to the radical right the police were still able to mike at least 300 arrests. earlier on wednesday the city's chief executives celebrated the handover anniversary of the swift introduction of the new security law kerry was sidelined in the drafting of the script but said it was necessary to

restore into and rebuild hong kong's reputation as a leading international financial center in asia. the enactment of the national law is regarded as the most significant development in the relationship between the central authorities and hong kong since its return to the motherland in beijing government leaders were doing their best to counter critics who say china's actions marked the end of hong kong special autonomy the government in beijing says one that is responsible for the former british territory and they want to prevent it becoming a springboard for subversion against china. al-jazeera hong kong. let's bring out all white house correspondent kimberly health at a complete read a little bit of what mike had to say about the hong kong issue what else did he have to say. well this secretary of state and the broader united states government very concerned about article 38 given the fact that it is so broad and sweeping and

could be interpreted to not only hurt those living in kong in hong kong but also americans that are living there the concern being that they could be accused of subversion of terrorism colluding or with a foreign power simply with trying to do ordinary business with friends or family back home so the united states today made an announcement we know already that it has ended hong kong special status that we the united states believe could be of benefit to china economically now it's got a step further it is sending out a business advisory through a number of u.s. agencies especially discouraging american companies but also companies around the world of doing business particularly with companies inside china that may have ties to forced labor and other human rights violations so this is yet another escalation in a relationship that's already very tense between the united states and china and the united states promising that there could be even more countermeasures. i'm hoping

you supposed to do a bit of context for our viewers in terms of the already really quite solid relations between the u.s. and china. yeah i mean this is a relationship that has been tense for some time but we've really seen the market escalations in recent weeks not only the ending of that special relationship but last week the united states imposed visa restrictions on communist chinese chinese communist party officials they believe specifically undermine hong kong's autonomy as this week we've had the secretary of state calling out the revelations that there have been forced sterilizations abortions on chinese muslim weaker women so the united states is calling this out but also calling on the united nations to demand an end to what they say are human rights abuses but of course this is that the escalating tension that has just happened over these last few weeks we've seen the trade war that has existed between these 2 nations and of course most recently the united states pointing the finger at china blaming it for

a lack of transparency when it comes to crowd a virus or covert 19 that has decimated the u.s. economy thanks so much for that can really help get there our white house correspondent well it's has more now for british prime minister of ourselves and had to say impala meant of offering a powerful hong kong residents to move to the u.k. . if trying to continue down this path we would reach introduce a new route for those with british nationals to see status to enter the u.k. granting them limited leave to remain with the ability to live and work in the u.k. and they're off to to apply for citizenship and that is precisely what we will do. u.k.'s foreign secretary has also said that the law is a clear and serious violation of the british joint declaration the 2nd close look at that agreement that was signed in 1984 by then chinese premier geology again and british prime minister margaret thatcher of the 2 years of negotiations the treaty

is the basis for the one country 2 systems guarantee for when hong kong was handed back to china in 1907 it states that beijing's policies regarding hong kong will remain unchanged. that includes hong kong's legal and judicial system and the promise that the city would keep a high degree of autonomy recently china has shown the agreement saying it was only valid up until the hand of the u.k. says it remains legally binding and must be on it. let's bring and why in london he is an associate fellow in the asia pacific program at chatham house thank you for your time so the u.k. is offering a path to citizenship for some few 1000000 hong kong residents beyond that how far do you think the u.k. will really be prepared to go and its objection to this new national security lol. well i mean i think it has done the 2 things that it really added to. that is the

giving new rights to the british nationals overseas in hong kong and secondly calling our calling it outdoes age clear and obvious bridget you want to correction next steps are very difficult what do you do once you as that is a breach of the go to great thing because there is no mechanism in that tree people doing that violation so it is a question of finding ways to keep our international pressure on china to express the dismay of the international community that want to have this national security law and they have done that we think that it's going to go on and in particularly on respect to the rule of law because this is being and i have fundamentally damaged by this bill this the fact that there's no mechanism to hold a joint declaration to the council to hold china to account for violating it i mean that seems like a pretty major oversight is there anything that the u.k.

can do here. well i mean what it can do is mobilize its diplomatic resources to do it i would say to find ways to bring what china's actions to the attention of the world in areas such as the commission on human rights and the united nations where they can find a suitable. venue all who are. voicing our real concerns over the mobiles and to try and persuade other countries to voice similar goods as well as as mates question what can can any individual country really have an impact on china and its plans for hong kong or do does the u.k. the e.u. the u.s. need to get together and what are the chances of that actually happening. it's going to hit back is going to be

a diplomatic challenge i mean i think it is obvious that it is not the that this floor is now here it is here it is day the question is how to mitigate the ways in which it is implemented. and to try as far as possible to protect the rights and interests of the people of hong kong with dark guarantee by the other international . community such as the international covenant on civil and political rights which does seem to be in many ways in contradiction to this new role so there's a long way to go yet it's not going to change as i say china's fundamental i hate him but we must do what we can to make life and to try to make life bearable for the people on car. thank you time your analysis roderick why they're an associate fellow in the edges of a program that's had a mouse. that the 60 people have died in ethiopia during 2

days of violence following the murder of a popular singer and rights activist the prime minister is accusing foreign forces of being behind the high plus all that and just about reports. that. as a former political prisoner and a romo activist a chuckle one day so was known for more than his lyrics about economic and civil rights his songs became the melody of the protest movement and 20 teams that elevated the new government to power he was shot late on monday. he needs somebody that is. i can buy that feet he passed media and what was. the whole of africa. is. going to how do you really want to go. my duty of power had the rhetorical facility but ability beijing the critics question was which he you know very ably committed in fact we don't fight some of

the deeply interested and probably knows a lot of the facing as floats used to be. his killing provoked a furious response from his many fans thousands followed his casket through the capital addis ababa. the room or ethiopia's largest ethnic group which is long complained about discrimination and oppression even with a fellow romel as prime minister nobel peace prize winner met said what he called an evil act of assassination was orchestrated abroad in order to divide the country he alluded to egypt and sudan which are in dispute with ethiopia over the opening of africa's largest hydroelectric dam. but it could be one. as the u.n. security council was meeting to discuss their own ice on stem crisis the cessation crime took place it's a crime which an external force has participated and carried it out using a local force the aim is to prevent us from completing their nice aunt's dam project our enemies will not achieve their objectives even if we pay more prices

and offer more sacrifices. that it difficult to chuckle or was critical of the prime minister to appearing out a media network owned by a government critic joe or muhammad a few days ago. the 36 year old singer spoke out about receiving death threats before his life was abruptly ended now many ethiopians will remember him as a larger than life figure in life and in death the center of national intrigue. and al-jazeera. and more ahead on the news hour including. dozens of refugees the migrants drawn and eastern turkey we'll have the latest on the cover yes it's. also a hate speech a boy called begins taking some of the world's biggest brands and their advertising dollars off facebook. at this place still has reason to celebrate despite the word stupidly being called off i think that santa will explain all this for us.

there is uncertainty of a when israel will begin its side annexation of the occupied west bank debate on the issue was due to begin on july 1st the prime minister benjamin netanyahu says talks with the u.s. about the plans are ongoing coalition partner bet against us suggested it should be put on hold while the government deals with coronavirus with all the berkowitz ambassador friedman and members of the delegation i spoke about the question of sovereignty which we are working on now and over the coming days of their senior political analyst. says netanyahu is still pressing ahead with an accession for. and you know who really wants to take advantage of the fact that trump is president or for sure to be president until the end of the year and hence exploit that opportunity in order to go through with an exhibition that is long. but what's really fascinating and

a probably this something should be shocking to our viewers around the world is that we're all waiting you know for the for the white smoke comes out of the white house as it were a century after another white man in the seat of empire lord balfour in london decided to give parts of by the side to the zionist movement one century 100 years later we have another white man in the super brain by in washington also. driving through or will you give the amount of people by this time to the zionist movement so the fact that this continues to go on that a person doesn't own palestine gives it away to someone who doesn't deserve it against the woodwards people it was quite outstanding police initially say they've seized the world's largest hall of them sesame produced but i still in syria 14

tons was found hidden inside machinery in the port of salerno south of naples valued at about $1100000000.00 syria has become a major producer of amphetamines during its stand a 10 year war. iran russia and turkey in a political solution to the war in syria and a calling for talks between opposing factions following a video conference joint statement said they agree that the conflict of its 10th year has none of the trees solution fighting has killed 380000 people displaced millions. recovery operations are the way in turkey after both capsized and a lake in the south at least $6.00 bodies have been recovered it's believed around 60 refugees and migrants from borders it was crossing lake van our correspondent said of course all that was in istanbul and says police have spoken to a witness to the incident the rescue teams are still trying to reach the boat and the rest of the bodies that are believed to be. that who have who are who are

who are believed to have drawn on the night of such a day this is this is not the 1st incident on lake one because a van is a border border city with iran and from afghanistan bangladesh pakistan and iran there are always irregular migrants crossing the sporter regularly and they are there a muse actually to cross turkey and reach to europe. via agency there is a witness about this incident and 11 people were detained linked to this incident and that witness is actually one of the human traffickers who range to board for those people and according to his statement that he gave to the police he was in the boat and the boat was capsized because it its capacity was for $25.00 people but there were at this $55.00 to $60.00 according to his statement and after it was capsized he and his cousin who was in walden this trafficking jumped into water and

if they were just 8 kilometers from the coast and he was able to swim to the cost what while because and wasn't able to make it but the police sources that i have spoken to tell me that his statement is conflict and conflicting and probably those irregular migrants on the boat they were locked in a room and they didn't have any chance to get out. france's foreign minister has called an e.u. meeting to discuss possible sanctions on turkey france's temporarily pulling art a nato operation in the mediterranean it's demanding nato and forces an arms embargo on libya turkey is supporting the un recognized government in tripoli and asked about the joins me now live from paris that i should what exactly the french foreign minister have to say what the french foreign minister was speaking to the senate and he said that he's called a special meeting of the european union foreign ministers for july 13th and he said

that what he wants is for europe to try and decide what sort of relationship it should have with turkey the inference being that some of turkey's actions of late haven't quite fallen into line with e.u. values joyce are saying that e.u. foreign ministers need to have a very open a conversation about turkey without any to booze never sort of thing that our joy of talking about is the fact that france has claimed that turkey is fueling instability in libya for example by importing say says frogs fighters of from syria something that a present mark or even spoke about just one day ago on tuesday calling turkey's actions in libya a criminal responsibility is a very strong words from france indeed on turkey and what they want the e.u. to do is pull turkey more into line with what the e.u. actually wants don't have a jury or suggesting the e.u.

foreign ministers decide on possible future sanctions on iraq or there are already ease sanctions or 9 kora over an oil drilling dispute thank you so much then attach a butler there live from paris. a vestments from more than $400.00 brands including coca-cola and starbucks starting to vanish from facebook the social media giant failed at last but it talks to convince them to stop a boycott of a hate speech on the site record gupta has a story. it was an ominous warning by the u.s. president during mass protests against the police killing of george threw it so badly after donald trump's tweet twitter issued a warning for the 1st time so his message to his flood violence facebook didn't follow suit sparking a reporter asked by some stuff right now facebook is trying to walk or really dangerous line where are really fine line in any case between free speech and haste hate speech so zakhar has said repeatedly that they don't want to be an arbiter of

truth so some things are being taken down particularly when it comes to a lot of inflammatory remarks trump has made. these this is where they kind of fall short now a campaign by wide scoops urging companies to stop advertising on facebook during july is gaining momentum more than $400.00 brands including. coca-cola ford honda and unilever one of the world's largest advertisers of consumer goods are posing their ad campaigns the point call it is aimed at causing enough financial damage to force facebook boss mark zuckerberg into changing his policy what brands are asking now for is for the injury to put in place advertising industry wide policies which are consistent across the board which means setting standards of what's home for content today definition of a content will depend on the platform are you dealing with it is about finding

common ways of reporting the incidence of harmful content it is about putting in place a thought party verification for the data which is being reported and it's about creating tools which allow our brands to be making informed decisions on where they want their ads to be placed with more than 2000000000 users facebook has long been accused of not doing enough to stop misinformation think news propaganda from spreading among its users we're going to start labeling content last friday zuckerberg announced that facebook will start flooding use with the content the violet's truth and take violent content down among other measures. and to stay facebook announced that it is battling a us based violent act to cover the network broadly connected to the book lou movement but stopped short of banning all references to the far right program network whose supporters believe violence could lead to a 2nd u.s.

civil war the july boycott seems to have got sucker both attention but it remains to be seen if it will have enough impact on facebook's profits to force more meaningful action. on to 0. derrick johnson is president and c.e.o. of the national association for the advancement of colored people and double a.c.p. it is the oldest civil rights organization in the u.s. he joins us now live from jackson mississippi via skype thank you so much for your time sir are you fastened by the response so far by these brands to the calls to boycott facebook advertising. i think many companies see the urgency of the moment we want to keep people safe and protect our democracy platforms such as facebook was to take more responsibility and put in place guard rails so that groups like this book a little group are now are not able to recruit members and make plans to cause harm

to the general public which happened last month. as we reported there there were some last minute talks facebook executives apparently put forward some press releases why does of facebook's proposed changes go far enough. we've been in conversation with facebook for over 2 years they have both technology and bitterly to implement the necessary guard rails they have simply failed to do so. gradual steps will not resolve the issues that many on the platform see advertisers have stepped up many of whom will realize that next year they're at a bird it's meant our racial hate groups are also advertising next to it if we want this country to be the society we are proclaim it to be corporations like baseball must be more accountable for how they are allowed their platform to be used to

spread our racial hatred this campaign that obviously the end. was pot also starting has a long list of proposed actions i'm wondering what say you are the most pressing changes that facebook should be make it what should be at the very top of the list . well 2 things. is sure that we keeping people safe and we're protecting our democracy there are specific things that fall under those 2 buck is that facebook can produce we've had multiple conversations they've had an internal audit independent audit there are many recommendations and out that audit there has been a road out over the last 2 years they simply must execute on once in trying to how are they are maintaining the agur rhythm so that they're not promoting racial hate groups and so those groups can recoup people in how they are positioning themselves to ensure our elections this year is not temper with either domestic or foreign

influence the black lives matter in this event has got this huge impetus this huge movement this huge a congress on the what they get out of it it's got the sad the space to it right now is this now part of turning protest into policy you know changing and really rooting out racism that isn't demick in so many societies where that's our goal is as an organization and the c.p. we are working hard now to move the peaceful protesters to the place of power through exercising their rights to vote and doing so at a record numbers that sends a value message because the policy makers who get elected must carry all those values so we'll get a public policy implementation that public policy would reflect the values but more importantly begin to address the systemic issues of structural racism that is

plague this nation not only for decades for centuries thanks so much for time unfortunately i have to leave it there for time derrick johnson their president and c.e.o. of the devil a.c.t thank you thank you for the opportunity. still to come here on al-jazeera the un security council finally endorses a global sea sun during the pandemic the bird change anything on the ground. allegations of brutality new evidence emerges from indian and minister kashmir almost a year after it was stripped of autonomy. and in support the chinese super league has finally got a confirmed start date sun is here with that story that from the program. if you want to see dramatic thunderstorms go to a man they've been around recently in this time of the year it's

of tourists visit just village on a daily basis and as you can see now this hardly anyone here we went to amsterdam earlier and you could see that tourism is picking up a little bit but it's mostly european tourists and dutch tourists who are now here and people here are complaining that they are not buying enough americans are the 2nd largest group of tourists in amsterdam usually and there are none of them there because the americans are still not allowed to enter the e.u. so they are badly missed a lot of business owners have complained to us saying the only 20 percent of their income right now and many are fearing that they will lose their business if this summer is going to be so bad as it is predicted. the pandemic is left around 1400 cuban migrants who are seeking asylum in the u.s. stranded in mexico that they wait months for appointments with my question or thought some of the doctors and nurses have been helping to fight call the 19 and

the latest report on people left stranded sharing the pandemic we hear from one of those doctors. my name is you know gonzales i'm 37 years old and i'm cuban i've been a family doctor for 8 years and i'm currently. requesting asylum in the u.s. . when the pandemic began the u.s. closed its borders due to the health emergency and all the appointments to attend u.s. immigration courts were postponed. i feel that i am in migratory limbo i can't go back to cuba i'm not allowed to cross to the states to wait there until my case is heard and in this country in mexico i'm nobody. who knew a friend of mine a doctor asked me if i wanted to work at this shelter helping migrants. the most beautiful thing was to put on a white doctor's coach again and to grab

a stethoscope and to be able to hear someone's heartbeat again. when the migrants realize that we are also migrants they feel happier and they feel like we have family. in me. the most difficult thing about leaving cuba was leaving my family my mom my dad to leave everything behind and start a new. there. but not really because i can't say that i have a life here i can't even say that i'm starting to build a life here. polls are closing in russia for a vote on constitutional amendments which would allow president vladimir putin to run for another 2 terms in office early results suggest that more than 70 percent of voters are backing. what this report. brewing disobedience alexander can overloads cafes stayed open during lockdown in st

many things that i like about this amendments to protect our territory to support and restore our culture children education social support animals and happy with entire package on wednesday putin made an unprecedented plea. we're not just voting for amendments that are laid out in clear legal norms we vote for the country we want to live in with modern education and health care with reliable social protection of citizens with an effective government that is accountable to society we vote for the country we work for and we want to pass it on to our children. the new rules created for this vote are also unprecedented exit polls were announced midway and polling stations popped up everywhere from fields to car parks making it impossible to ensure the vote is fair or free from tampering for you to judge him by exposing the flaws in the system a number of journalists deliberately voted twice and there have been numerous

reports of coercion and vote buying. putin's approval ratings are at 59 percent an all time low but analysts say the true figure could be even lower. when we see a drop in support from 79 to 59 percent in north korean countries it means that support in society is actually much lower because the numbers are distorted we see put his charisma is eroding and ratings are declining but this is not yet accompanied by protests so support is weak but there are not so many reasons for the population to rebel and yet they predict amendments will pass granting putin the opportunity to rule russia until he's 83 years old charlie angela al-jazeera. sorry state t.v. says air strikes have targeted who the rebels and yemen's capital there are no reports of damage so far the attacks on some are following last week's misawa an armed drone attacks targeting the saudi capital riyadh though they said the strikes on the defense ministry and a military base was their largest military operation yet against the kingdom rights
