though had home 10 years after the rest of the crimes against humanity on china's among mission 3 astronauts ford. a new space station for the very 1st time. ah, could help you with this welcome to the program, hong kong, largest pro democracy newspaper has warned. the cities press freedom is hanging by a thread, as a 5 of its executives arrested under basing national security law. police raided apple daily news room for the 2nd time in 10 months, accusing it to colluding with what the government calls foreign enemies to hom, china. the secretary for security worn journalists not to use that word because tools to break the law. in a similar last august, apple daily found a media medical jimmy lie was taken from his office. he's now serving a string of j sentences to taking part in unauthorized rallies. apple daily isn't

the only i've been targeted in april a produce at the cities. public broadcaster was conflicted after making a documentary critical of the police, his handling of a mob attack against protest as well. we'll get reaction from a gentleman working in the city. but 1st, this report from adrian brown in hong kong, the office of hong kong is most popular newspaper. once more, a crime scene. in an operation involving up to 500 police journalists will order to leave the newsroom while their computers were examined. 5 executives were arrested, including the papers editor in chief ryan law. all were taken by police from their homes during early morning rates. there suspected of being involved in the publication of articles that encouraged foreign countries to impose sanctions and hong kong. the suspects have been arrested on strong evidence

that they are conspiring to endanger national security. the action is taken against the criminals who make use of journalistic work as a tool to further their criminal activities. the newspapers owner jimmy lie was arrested and charged under a new national security last year that followed a previous raid on the apple daily lie asserting a 20 month jail term for taking part in unauthorized assemblies. in may police prose, more than $64000000.00 in assets belonging to lie. and on thursday, for 2000000 more belonging to 3 companies linked to apple daily. the papers known foot soft and strong criticism of china's government mixing pro democracy discourse with celebrity gossip. when the national security law was imposed on hong kong, almost a year ago, the territories chief executive said it would only effect

a small number of people. since then, almost a 100 people have been arrested. and more than 60 charged including leaders of what's left of the podium accuracy movement here. lamb says that that law has ended months of calles here and restored stability. and stability is what china's leaders want most right now. as the ruling communist party repairs to mark. it's $100.00 anniversary, adrian brown, al jazeera hong kong. from going to his the editor in chief and co founder of hong kong press free to me, describes efforts to shut down apple daily as death by 1000 cuts, the national security chain. steve lay saying that these relate to 30 articles that somehow were connected with a conspiracy to prompt sanction. again, hong kong and china. what we don't know is whether these are articles,

opinion pieces already tauriel close to his band, have a chilling effect unless we understand what exactly is being targeted to the actual daily thing that they're going to press on. we understand they may print off a 1000000 copies to night because hong kong of tend to in lieu of being able to protest, you're in cove, it voice support for apple de lee by clearing it from the show. that's certainly what happened last year when it is needed and we expect that to happen to more morning when these copies offend to new stands across the 50. and i think it's more in direct sort of pressure the paper facing whether it's a rest directive. so it wanted to coney and i suppose literally shutting down the thing is but, but moreover, that $5000.00 cuts over along the period. so who knows with room a swirling that the government won't is paper shut down, whether it will still be in print by the end of the year. and you say that it's one of the leading pro democracy daily. it's the only one left. so although the prince

edition doesn't make money, they shut it down in taiwan, it's very symbolically important that they do go to print and you know, hong kong, the said that they will buy the apple daily, even if it's blank. me japan is now that seizing current of iris restrictions one month out from the start of the limpid games. prime minister she to sucrose as a state of emergency will be lifted in tokyo and other areas. but in its place, the government will bring in what's being called a cause i state of emergency it limit the sale of alcohol and the opening hours of bars and restaurants for the selma is in tokyo for us with the latest we are just over a month from holding the olympics on the 23rd of july. so many people who are hoping that this announce with announcement would mean that the olympics could be held really in a secure and safe situation. but the people, especially,

especially medical experts, are wanting that that is still too early to to feel so optimistic about the situation. just today. took your recorded again an increase on week on week infections. yes. so they also took recorded about 501 fiction. that's the 1st time in 2 weeks that witnesses such a number in the 500. so they're wanting that although the state of emergency is being lifted, but still there are so many things to watch out, especially for our research in the number of the fiction during the coming weeks, a month, some medical experts also i went off the delta, the variance of the virus, the engine by the end of the vital wording that this continues to spread. during the lift off the state of emergency, we could see an increase of 2000 the infections bear day during the next week. and

that's good. the maybe for the government to think again about enforcing the corporate state of emergency. now that you can is launched a nation wide study to explore whether giving a booster shot of krona virus. vaccines would be safe and effective and extending immune protection. the trial will look at 7 different code, 19 short, some of which already approved by regulators, while others are still in development. the fall can, has more south hampton deep in the basement. if this hospital medical researches have embarked on a world 1st to see what happens when those were already fully vaccinated, a given a 3rd dose expert will observe over the course of the year or expect the booster job is protecting both younger and older adults from different variants of the virus, we'll do this by monitoring the level of antibodies and participants. blood, though also study any harmful side effect. it's a natural next step to be doing a study where you're looking at the next scene. after we've kind of done the

initial studies looking at the 1st day says we've got to move forward because we know there are variance coming through and things like that. and we may need to be people's immunity to be able to protect them against areas. susan porters, one of nearly 3000 participants receiving a booster of one of 8 different vaccines, including a placebo meningitis job as a frontline worker in charge of a dementia care home. she was one of the 1st people in the u. k to be fully vaccinated. the 8 vaccines in this chart or the oxford astrazeneca vaccine, pfizer, all participants. so 1st screen for suitability, guided through any possible side effects. it's been quite difficult to manage everybody's expectations and keep people say, and present them. the mental health of my residence impact is massive and it's going to be massive going forward, and that's to be find a solution. this is the coal face of covey. 9 team research that they took out a tacitly and methodically by these researches will eventually informed decision

makers around the world the child so sensitive, we cannot film doses being administered in case participants find out which one they perceived. while scientists here are considering 3rd doses, millions of people around the world haven't received a single one. the concern is that if booster jobs prove effective, rich nations may choose to continue holding supplies rather than sharing them with other nations. my hope is that that will be enough to go round and they, by the end of the year and, and in the next year, could be that cobra back thing last a lot longer than we think. and some people might not need a straight away soon, or it could be that because of the variance virus, we all need much higher immunity than initially has been produced by office 2 doses . vaccines are being tried at 18 sites across the u. k. with half doses also being

tested. if the panoramic caught the world off guard, this trial is about being as prepared as we possibly can. the ball can, i'll just 0 south hampton. the 1st crew to be sent to china, the space station has dogged the sions who 12 vision arrived after blasting off from the region lot center nearly 7 hours earlier. the 3 astronauts on board will stay for 3 months on the orbiting laboratory. let's katrina you. reports 11 more missions of planned in the next year and a half to complete its construction on a mission to set up their new home. that's how these 3 chinese astronauts describe their task on board. china's 1st space station can mander in the heavenly comedy, the spacecraft loss at all from china's goal because it on thursday morning lord was described as a complete success by the country space agency. it's the 1st time china has sent astronauts into space in 5 years. and the longest man mission,
