10:08 am
a decade ago, aging has increasingly tightened its control and its crews. and these people and activities in china now changes to count espionage regulations are coming into effect on saturday. expand the number of activities considered aspiring. they include a ban on the transfer of any information authorities consider relates to national security and expand the definition of espionage to include cyber attacks, against stage organizations and information infrastructure. it follows the general trend in recent years in the development of chinese and all towards more emphasis on national security. more control by the communist party of important areas of the state. the changes those to move in it does in new or amended laws under which people can be banned from leaving china. and i'm
10:09 am
a say it's likely to raise concern among foreigners and business people operating in the country of coming under great discussion. exit science has been applied in china for many years and write scripts, milk. they have been increasingly used against both chinese nationals and phone is under the revised counter espionage as long as they can be imposed on any one under investigation. human rights research, a phone to me was prevented from leaving china in 2017. he was detained for 10 days in a hotel room before being allowed to fly out to a strange. yeah. if i go that any time that they will detain me right away. so that's the sky below actually uh, i saw a vague so and the us that they can, they can use it to fabricate a case to prosecute anyone for,
10:10 am
for political public aging says the changes am to protect china. every country has the right to safeguard its national security to domestic legislation and such. this is the common practice of all countries. the changes. com is china. his board is open for foreign visitors after 3 years of coven 19 restrictions. but some experts say the broad and vague scope of the revisions may cause some businesses and individuals to question how welcome they really are jessica washington, which is 0 aging. and the market is a senior research fellow at the center of china and globalization. he says by james move is risk, and i think we've seen this movie before. so this really started with the national security law that was passed in 2015. and this law defines china is national security as the relative absence of both international and
10:11 am
domestic threats across a very, very broad range of areas. because we think of the traditional military, very security. but there is economic security, financial security, even cultural security. so this is one thing we have to understand that the chinese conception of national security as we heard earlier, the piece is, is quite broad. the other is the philosophy of passing law. as i say, we've seen this movie before with the cyber security law. there was an initial sense of alarm when the law 1st went into effect and it doesn't affect just born businesses and individuals, but domestic companies and organizations and people as well. so at the time there was a lot of questions of what exactly does critical infrastructure mean, what is important data? so, you know, i think again these things will work itself out. there's certainly a concern, legitimate cause for concern, and that whenever there is uncertainty and big lead, especially for businesses the, it's a, it's risky or sales home. a present value of boston arrows has,

10:17 am
the expanded definition of x to an actual meaning please. courtney of foreign companies. academic send this to sri lanka now where the parliament is holding a special session to discuss. restructuring is that to domestic lenders is looking for a 30 percent cut in the $42000000000.00 domestic debt shrunk as aiming to reach international monetary funds. financial targets by 2032 as go live to our correspondence, we now fernandez was outside the parliament building in colombo. so me now, how is the government proposing to raise craft? restructured his debt so the government has come up a centrally with a plan that looks and offers a several different options to those who hold the government debt. now they call it a boss good up to a financial instruments. and initially, even though many people were worried that the government would sort of target the banking sector, and in fact,
10:18 am
lots of people had added their voices that they should not happen because it would undermine the banking sector and the economy. the government instead is now reviews that lots of the restructuring will be looking at pension funds or superannuation funds, as it calls them. now, bear in mind that there is a huge amount of money that has accrued in these pension funds that are contributions of old literature lumpkins that something like $20.00 a 1000000 essentially 20 plus 1000000. obviously in terms of the population or the working class, people have things like pension funds and rely on these. the government seems to have picked these and say that the money is that these funds have invested. they have been invested primarily, something like 96 percent of these pension funds are invested in government bones and things like that that these investments are going to take a hit in terms of not the capital,
10:19 am
but the interest rate there will be paid. essentially the maturity of some of these bones that they have invested in will be long drawn out if it was supposed to between 5 years that will be extended to longer periods of time. the government has said that these of voluntary schemes that even the, even the pension funds can sign up to box critics. the opposition say there's nothing voluntary about it. but that because the government has said, if you don't sign up, then the cotton and 14 percent interest or whatever you'd pay wouldn't absolutely double. so there are some issues with the plan, but the government says this is the only way. so what's the reaction we expect from politicians and the public back? as yeah, as i said, it depends on which side of the political divide. you're listen to the debate that's going on in the building behind me. the parliament a rifle has heard of a flavor of that reaction. the government sort of sticking by its guns saying look,
10:20 am
given the complete dollar drums and the flooring of the con, to me just a year ago that we have come up with the best plan. we have looked at something that sustainable, and this is the way to do it. that if we just restructure international, that it's not going to be enough to reach the target that the i m f has set for the government. you know, definitely to secure that. below that it got announced in september box local politicians. the opposition, particularly has accused the government of picking on the working class on picking on the common man who has no voice. they say that these funds are the blood, sweat, and toil of walking people. they have a target, an expectation that's gonna 20 as well. so it is off to working that they'd have a mistake to look forward to. but this plan essentially brings down the interest that investments would accrue. and that then end up with a very,
10:21 am
very little that are projections that some of position politicians have come up with saying that the projected best mistake full full pension fund. who does our members employees that have invested that they will see something like a 47 percent cut in the projected take home at the end of that maturity level of the trade unions have also said this is very unfair that the government is protecting the welf 8, suppose, and friends as they claim the people, the private bond who does, and that they are not being allowed to feel as much of the button, but that the government is picking on the common man. thank you me now let me now fernandez, live in columbus. in the us supreme court has rejected funds by present joe biden to cancel $430000000000.00 a student loan debt. this was a major campaign promise when he ran for present in 2020, but by that has filed to find tom. she advertised eagerly for some washington.
10:22 am
according to the conservative majority on the us supreme court, president biden did not have the legal authority to forgive some $400000000000.00 of student deb, under the heroes act of 2003, which allows student debt payments to be waived in emergencies. like upon demik, the proposal effective 14000000 borrowers any less than what? i'm thinking 20. $5000.00. yeah. well they're 90 percent less than $75000.00. if they gave up to $20000.00. repayments have been on hold since 2020. but now borrows will have to resume payments in october and she does milestones such as like buying a car or starting a family are buying a home with cobit people have the opportunity to try to catch up. but since the repayments are going to be starting again soon, it's going to put people back into that hole that they were not being able to start their lives or provide for their family or even provide for themselves quickly as possible. speaking of the white house press the button so the administration will now start the long legal process again. this time attempting to forgive student
10:23 am
debt using the higher education act of 1965, which gives the government a firm a legal basis to forgive student desk. in addition, the president allows for those facing difficulty repaying that, that through october, waiting to have the credit racing effected for 12 months with the presidents of the republicans opposing pandemic student debt forgiveness were hypocrites. let's be clear, some of the same on back to republicans, members of congress who strongly opposed can be reached, is two's got hundreds of thousands of dollars and cells, and really members of congress. because of the businesses they were able to keep up with several members of congress cut over a $1000000.00 vitamin struggling and opposed with younger versions. and so he's failed to give a range of campaign promises from 2020. this is the latest disappointments and some activists of logo i'll give you. administration mishandled the issue by not using the higher education act in the 1st place for them. it will not be enough to make this
10:24 am
a campaign issue. now in 2024. they won't bite intact boldly now through executive order to stop the need for repayments and on to based on if he does next. what about support for him in the election? i can't say that, and i'm not sure how young adults will vote, but he can expect that he will hear from advocates. should he not fulfill his promise the bite. the ministration is reported to be hoping that this issue may mobilize, disaffected, young verses to the polls. in 2024 and that is dismal popularity ratings. the arguments the republicans were against all student dep loan forgiveness, at least by the trades. she advertise the elders era, washington australia has become one of the 1st countries to allow the use of m d. m a and so called magic mushrooms for medical treatment authorities authorized rather authorized psychiatrists are now able to prescribe the drugs to tackle mental health conditions, including depression and post traumatic stress disorder yesterday. and government re classified the drug following tribes, which found them to be relatively safe when used any medically controlled

environment. c. rockies have been suffering from power outages for decades because of neglected infrastructure was western sanctions and corruption. now the rocky government just trying to support his national grades by connecting it to neighboring countries. i'm adapted 100 for some back that summer time in a rock and scorching temperatures. a couple of do with frequent power cups. the city, some of the above that among the hardest hit, the stayed good, only supplies electricity for 3 hours out of every $670.00 at old academy. i lived with her family in the small houses. most of that household equipment doesn't to work anymore. many stood in the city, we don't use the fridge anymore because it was ruined by electricity cuts and our food perished. these days we splash water on ourselves with water to alleviate the

heat. generators are the only option for some iraqis. well, damage in the case of neglected infrastructure have long caused toe to just blackouts have increased because some facilities have been attacked by the groups. so many iraq is have both generators to hire them out to neighbors with a fraudulent national great look of generators, lake. these have become a profitable business venture. you can see the wires dangling, industry eats and criss crossing alleys all over the country. closing safety threat to residents. iraq relies on gas for milan to fuel the power stations which supply the national grid. they normally put, use around $20000.00 megawatts of electricity, but need $24000.00 megawatts the peak summer months to fill the gap. iraq is getting into a connected with other countries that are of applied. remember looking at any of the grid connection with jordan starts with 150 megawatts,
10:27 am
and we'll reach 950 megawatts. so this is a double circuit connection to also link a rock with egypt via jordan in the future. it's mean to boost our grid and the western region and lights and link or rock with grids and the gulf countries and to a t. iraq also needs to pay its bills for iranian gas. iraqi power stations need around 35000000 cubic meters of airing and gas every day with of 20000000 shots because the iranians have suspended deliveries, pending payment, which is the last thing you're working electricity. consumers who want to hear, as they says in the baking summer heat for alternative energy sources, more the edges either. above that, the mayor of a small town in mexico has married an alligator in a colorful indigenous ceremony dating back centuries. the rep tie was dressed in a tiny white wedding dress and is seen as a diety,
