the leaders of north korea are communicating again in a bit to improve relations and a search in corona virus infections in the olympics host city, a record number of daily cases registered in tokyo, ah, as the world watches on the political crisis and she nicea continues to deepen the presidents and polls a nationwide nighttime curfew for a month. and the army is on the streets. on sunday, you said dismissed the prime minister. put a freeze on parliament. he shouldn't, he. she says he's willing to hand over responsibility to whoever the president chooses. case said also the fact that justice and defense ministers. laura burton, manley begins, are coverage. the bible camps

from different sides of the political divide have been protesting outside to new jersey as parliament. the so man goes spilling over into violence. once again, the country is turmoil. on sunday, people took the streets and several cities in mass, and the government protested less than 24 hours later, president case said, made a bold decision. he froze parliament and out the prime minister, which am a teaching adagio. i find it surprising how some people are talking about a so called cou, i have followed the constitution, the conditions were met. and among these conditions, they were procedural terms and all of these conditions were respected. i've been invited the prime minister that i have dismissed and informed him that i call the house speaker. and i told him that i will be resorting to article 80 of the

constitution after which i declared the exceptional measures and the presence of permanent danger. and you said, my son is 78, but there was no constitutional court to decide whether the move for legal under article 80 on the street tennis in the cooling for change. many fed up with the political cellmates and economy in crisis. high unemployment rates . and the mishandling the pandemic, the in the party, which holds most seats, and parliament, has recently pulled the brunt of their anger. we have this political crisis match, the was conscious that we have ever had international, have 100 people dying every day from growing numbers. and then we have also a huge crisis. so this one, it is, excuse me, because eating, you know, are exhausted, they are scared and nobody knows exactly where we are heading. amid political

tumble and civil rest security forces stormed without a warrant. the offices of al jazeera and trueness and expelled stuff. what they closed the office without providing reason. a group of men came in wearing security in civilian clothes. they broke into the office and took the keys and said they were the instructions. a spook spencer. you, inspector general, gave his reactions were dismayed by these reports. and we hope that all reporters, including the ones that al jazeera will be able to go about their work without harassment. and we want to make sure that as we have the situation on the ground in tunisia, that press freedoms are respected. with the fear that to this he could slide back into full revolt. similar to the 2011 jasmine revolution, the e u. n. a u. s. a calling for com and the un following the situation closely bought

a decade home from the revolt, the brought democracy to his hands are defined is direction that country should take lower, but among the outer there are well as says, the line i see mohammed fall his coverage as extensively for his here at al jazeera mohammed, you've been keeping track on reaction this morning. how are people reacting to these latest developments and she is in well, hello, we have seen a change in the tone. at least we know that the reactions are the same between yesterday and today. we know that the parties are very divided. the public opening is divided over the decisions of the president's big chunk of the population. the supporters of another party and the toner st. paul t, there they'll, i guess this other parties of sar against those partners in the, the governments that have been dismissed. no change in that basically in, in the essence. but out outwardly, at least there is

a toning down of that on to understand that it is probably a measure of, you know, intended to reduce escalation, to prevent mobilization of people in the street at a time when the president has decreed. lot to know more than 3 people should gather in the streets or outside in public faces. another party today has a less less skill, authority tone. and the other part is, as i said, so i mean, the understanding of that is about, you know, they understand now the power of the president. they understand that the army is on his fight. at least the army is neutral. if not on his side, they understand that he has the labor unions on his 5 and also the big chunk of the population that we have seen 2 nights ago and yesterday demonstrating in support of these decisions for internationally speaking, no major country or no countries to mention have condemned what happened. nobody has described it as a crew. so there was

a lot of relief for i did not respect. and his opponents in flight, teenager, they see that they observe it and they know that the game is not in their favor. i will give them that everything is a lot more moderate and tone di. do you anticipate a happens megs or should we be looking out for engine is in the days and weeks to come? i don't. how did there are only 2 ways ahead. one of them is escalation, one of them is, you know, calm and waiting for opportunities to for dialogue or opportunities for the president to, you know, a chance that the president will, you know, and those measures probably within those 30 days. the understanding is that probably if nothing happens, if nobody protests, if there is no escalation, and if the parties agree on the terms of the president will present to them, probably he will finish those measures and you have a government to his liking just the same as he did before, the other option is for the parties, the, those who are, you know, have, you know,

suffered from the measures to escalate. but that's not, that's not expected because we know another party has, has a history of calm in this, in this type of crises. the never really, you know, opted for, for a twisting with that with the government in a way that is going to probably lead to bloodshed more fragmentation into society. so it's a, it's a, it's a game of waiting. i mean, it's it, within the next 30 days, it will be clear for everyone, whether that, whether it will be dial up, whether it will be a confirmation again for whether the president will continue his measures and that, that will have it's cost courses in the long run, i think in the long run the president can not be know that his opponents will not agree to continue to to allow him to talk with the constants against the constitution in the, in the opinion. so there will be probably, you know, developments after 30 days. ok mama, val,

they're bringing us all the very latest on this developing story. we appreciate it . thank you ma'am. it's the us secretary of state, anthony, blinking has urged that she is the president to respect democracy and a phone call. he asked kate said, to maintain dialogue with all sides will earlier the white house press secretary gen saki struck a similar tone. we are concerned about the developments in tunisia which come as a canadian authorities are seeking to stabilize their economy front, a resurgence in the coven, 19 pandemic, and improved living standards for all tunisians. we are in touch at the senior level for both the white house and the state department with denise and leaders to learn more about the situation. urge calm and support tunisian efforts to move forward in line with democratic principles. the 1st person to face trial under hong kong, national security law, has been found guilty of inciting secession, and engaging and what's been called terrorism. so many kids was prosecuted after

writing his motorcycle in so group of police officers last year, flying a flag calling for home calls liberation will be controversial. national security law was introduced by mainland china in 2020, in response to pro democracy protests. it gives the authorities wide ranging powers to crack down and what they call subversive acts. look at more and i from nathan law. he's a former hong kong politician and bruce and what chrissy activists. joyce's by skype from london. we're grateful to have you with us here on al jazeera and they from law. this individual drove a motorcycle into a group of police officers. why shouldn't he be charged and punished for that? well, definitely. i think we should have carried the concept of whether he's being prosecuted under what we have the criminal ordinance or the national security law. if we look

back to he's, protect and the crimes he's being charged was which, which is all which are under the national security law. and we could see this is that really going the wrong direction of for him. his rights to jewelry, try always denied which everyone on the high court upper court to enjoy. and also he is being trialed by hand picked metro security to judge which i believe that the that the, the reasons why that from them pick them is because they can get a for that to go from one's political interest. so i think these are arrangements are what people are disappointed about the real flow and the show system in hong kong. you're saying this is not a fair trial that he hasn't had a fair trial at all. because the hong kong government will insist that they are following the rule of law as it stands and following the procedures well,

that could someone claims to be like that. but by the fact that the so national security law courts the just not being appointed and the law is written by people sitting invasion without any legal expertise and acting on on, on behalf of the country in order to impose such as rock county and without any consultation on call and the law is open for interpretation by the court with a quite a wide range of understanding precede, for example, in one of the crime when the, when the court slogan of liberal hong kong is subjected to insight section section, it really validates our understanding the right to free speech protection because there is no like ball and involved when he display the flag and the flag is up for many interpretation. but the court choose the one that they seem to the invasions

narrative. this, what does this, this trial and this results? do you say? what does this say about hong kong future for people who are still living in hong kong? what do you think they'll make about this? does this mean they will be able to, to speak freely your display slogans in future as a result? people think that it is a political show trial. the results pre determined before it is even started for them they will be worry about speaking, saying is that the government does the night because they can easily patented into a way that they can see the beaches or slogans of violating the national security law. the center thing of pony and it will be out next week and he could up to

lifelong imprisonment. so for now people are paying attention to it. but the fact is clear, the government is creating a sense of what terra and people are afraid of speech. speaking what they are genuinely thinking. ok, nathan la, pro democracy activists. they're joining us from london. thank you very much in deeds. thanks so much as the leaders, the north and south korea have agreed to restore communication channels and improve relations. the agreement follows the exchange of several letters between south korean president munsey and, and north korean leader kim john. it comes and it's sold attempt by the us to engage with north korea over pyongyang, nuclear weapons program. rob mcbride's is in sol. connected again after more than a year of silence and with into korean relations at a standstill. north korea cut the line last june in protest against defective
