of law at city university of hong kong he says china is redefining that the one country 2 systems principle. and the basic object you know well well the government is to ensure that there is hardly any dissenting voice in the elections in hong kong down the labor there and short order at the legislative council the government recently acquired the civil so events are big deal and now they're asking those districts answer to the on going forward i think that the only if you're going to hear it is that the meaning of who is affected is is a very subjective and there is no legal requirement it's a political requirement and this is defined in a very subjective and but absent an arbitrary manner to be doubt anyone who will speak against the communist party or who will criticize the chinese government i think i would suggest that we are now creating a new one country 2 system i mean we had an idea of one country a sort of system which i knocked it from 1st of july 1907 onwards or after the

initial security law came into force last year i think at chinese government working call it a close look at the hong kong government the outer player saying that old order is not understanding got one going to do a system with a new one to standing on one computer system so it will not be identical to the mainland chinese system but it is going to move to include mentally very close to the system in china and i think increasingly media civil society get me out member so public i think everyone would be increasingly expect it will they come and coming from beijing. now a judge in india has granted bail to climbers activists saying evidence that she committed sedition is scanty and sketchy the 22 year old was arrested earlier this month accused of developing a toolkit to support a month long farmers protests police say it encouraged violence during a rally in january but critics see her case as part of the government crackdown on

32.5 percent that's the highest since records began in 2008 between october and december last year a further $700000.00 people lost their jobs meaning a total of 7200000 unemployed that means a 3rd of the working age population is out of the job so the africa has the continent's the highest rate of coronavirus infections and its economy was already in recession before this pandemic hit spoke to the moment she's the head of macro economic and currency research at standard bank south africa she explained why the take even longer for the economy to recover now. we had an unemployment crisis even before that and to all that this is doing is it's just eccentric i think that and sank you know it's even it's going to take even longer to make any positive impact on the very high unemployment drag of the crisis yes i think part of the problem is just that job growth has been quite sluggish and i think that links back to

economic growth that has been very predation over the last number of years and there are a number of reasons for that one is policy uncertainty and the other is structural constraints of the economy so for example we've had significant lurching of the last couple of years and over the last at least 2 years that diary of to reduce the economic growth by one percent per year and that's just the direct impact then you have to say you kondraty have any capek's any new expansion in capacity building if you're unsure about the availability of it presidency so i think it's that structural constraint of the economy that they means that there is very little scope or employment president who's now with the crosses in the lockdown in the restrictions receiving any additional impact. now u.s. senate has beginning an investigation into security failures during the capitol hill insurrection on january 6th they're questioning the former chief of the

capitol police and the former head of security for both the house and the senate all 3 of them resigned immediately after the riots a violent mob rejected the results of the presidential election broke through security at the capitol building and then occupied at the several hours 5 people die and well for more now let's speak to patty called and she's following that hearing for us on capitol hill patty they really appears to be quite a lot of blame shifting going on in that chamber. they're trying to shift into the intelligence agency then to each other senators trying to figure out exactly the chain of events here but what we're seeing is from all 3 of these people who keep in mind they were in charge of securing the capitol and the complex around it their base saying we didn't have the intelligence and then went on to admit that they did have intelligence that the proud boys several white supremacist groups. were going to be in the capital and some of them would be armed they could be violent one senator senator leahy just asked them how is that not enough to take intelligence

so you come up with a different plan the police chief to say look i asked for the national guard days before and it was denied the people who he says denied it said he didn't really ask it was more of a conversation that the national guard would be on standby that's not sitting well with senators who said if they were on standby why did it take them so many hours to get here when we were when we needed it the most and i think one of most striking comments came from the former capitol hill police chief he said that no civilian law enforcement agency including the u.s. capitol police are trained and equipped to repeal an insurrection of thousands of individuals focused on breaching a building at all costs to which is senator just asked the other 2 members who are former secret service agents does the secret service have a plan to repel insurrectionists at the white house. and they both said yes so a lot of questions here about how poorly trained and equipped to the capitol police were and exactly how they let this happen senators trying to get answers but right

now they're seeing a lot of blame being shifted back and i see what's actually likely to come out of this process given that there's also this talk of a 911 style commission as a separate kind of process well i think what you're going to see is these 2 committees in the senate they're going to continue to have hearings they mentioned that they were going to have the military in next because there is a big question about exactly who denied the national guard or why it took so long to actually get the national guard here it was hours of capitol police local police fighting with these rioters inside the capitol before we saw any sort of national guard troop presence so they're going to continue to have these hearings and that's going to be very public the $911.00 commission which is being set up now there's some disagreement about how many republican versus democrat appointees there will be that's going to be more in the style of the 911 commission where you see them have subpoena power do interviews gather all the evidence like the phone records about who called who when and then they're going to put together

a comprehensive report likely in the hundreds of pages so that's more of a deep dive with investigators this is more of the senators trying to get some answers to questions because that 911 commission is going to take months months months and possibly even a year or so this is more just trying to get immediate answers right now as far as following that hearing at capitol hill thanks so much patty. well still ahead here on al-jazeera hearings are also taking place on capitol hill right now for the interior secretary nominee we'll explore the significance of confirming a native american to that job for the very fast time. and the taliban accuses the afghan government of not living up to its cause in the efforts to end the 19 year complex.

a secretary of the interior dept hollande is being questioned before a senate confirmation hearing if confirmed she'll be the 1st native american cabinet secretary how to roll over the national parks natural resources and reservations she's promised to strike a balance between energy needs and conservation but republicans say that have views on the environment quote extreme our white house correspondent can be how it has more on that hearing now. biden white house is watching this process in the we'll be watching the confirmation hearing very carefully given the fact that joe biden as president promised to make his cabinet look like america and that is why this is so important and why so many people are watching the nomination of death hell and the fact that not only is she being heralded as sort of the future of the democratic party particularly refract of of the concerns of its further left progressive wing but native americans are watching this knowing that the symbolism

of this nomination is significant because the agency that should be overseeing has historically trampled on the rights of native american so to have a native american potentially leading this department would be a historical achievement but it also would sort of help to heal some of the wounds that have been inflicted over the decades so this is something that the democrats in the senate are really excited about but you're right she's a polarizing figure in a divided senate where we know that come a harris would break a tie vote at least one democrat is siding with republicans over concerns about her past activism particularly the fact that she is vehemently opposed to on federal land the process of natural gas extraction known as fracking and this is a big driver of jobs in the united states particularly we have a depressed economy there are real concerns that she is really seeking to ban

other drugs for importation into the united states now according to u.s. authorities mrs guzman has played an active role in this in a lower drug cartel here in mexico since before the arrest of her husband joaquin el chapo guzman and ever since there's also according to investigators in the united states reason to believe that she participated in that conspiracy to break him out of jail in 2015 which really shine the spotlight on chapal on this in the lower cartel and on the guzman family in general mexico's president of this man who looked as i would rather he was asked about the arrest during his morning press conference on tuesday unfortunately he said that this is ultimately a matter that corresponds to u.s. authorities now mrs guzman is due in court for an arraignment at some point at some point on tuesday unfortunately we do not yet know the details of the time or place but we are keeping a close watch for any new developments. a judge in malta has sentenced one man to

of the of the sun has actually leveled the blame at the taliban at various levels a senior afghan official a taliban official told us that the taliban has not committed any attacks against civilians it says it remains committed to peace and for the 1st time they've laid out in detail on how free in phases one government and their u.s. allies were supposed to abide by the agreement and they say they haven't they haven't released the prisoners this is the bombardment drone attacks night raids all of them are continuing in taliban areas the taliban insists that there have been no attacks on western targets they say that there are no intelligence reports of any foreigner attacking any or planning to attack any other country using afghan soil so they say that they're holding their end of the bargain and nato ministers as well as the united states says that it is continuing its intelligence gathering on the ground and a decision is imminent about what is going to be the future course of action with

regard to not just a troop withdrawal but a permanent cease fire and peace in afghanistan now pakistan's prime minister is now in sri lanka for a 2 day visit there iran khan was welcomed by the prime minister mahinda rajapaksa and the 2 leaders are expected to discuss bilateral trade between them and elephant and as has more now from sri lanka's capital colombo. for the muslims of this country the minority numbering a little over 10 percent their hopes are riding on imran khan to sort out a burning issue they've been dealing with that is the government's policy of force cremations of corbett 19 victims the muslim sort of minority has engaged with the government at multiple levels a centrally what they have said is their religion sort of bans the cremation of those who die and that this is not something in keeping with their beliefs they

have urged the government to stop this and allow them to go ahead with the burial of those in their community but the government has sued for. choosing to ignore the guidelines and essentially scientific evidence which basically says that cremations and burials are both acceptable they have gone on a process of appointing different committees and they've kind of been stalling on this issue so on imran khan is a huge sort of a burden of expectation by the muslims of sri lanka that he will use his good offices whatever goodwill that he has with the government of sri lanka obviously the 2 countries go back a long way pakistan has stood by sri lanka particularly the rajapaksa know that because they stood by them during the last stages of the war in this country giving them sort of needed munitions and things like that so the muslims are hoping that he would bring that kind of goodwill to use now british prime minister barak's
