welcome to bbc news, i'm mike embley. our top stories: hong kong publishes details of its new security law, among them, the right of police to search homes without a warrant. businesses re—open in brazil's biggest city but the country's still gripped by coronavirus, the president's taken a test after showing symptoms. parts of the us report record hospitalisations from covid—19, sparking fears some places could soon run out of beds. jeffrey epsteins ex—girlfriend ghislaine maxwell is moved to a jail in new york — to face charges she recruited girls for him to abuse.

hong kong's chief executive carrie lam is giving herfirst weekly briefing since details were released of the sweeping security law imposed on the territory by beijing. the law allows security forces to search private properties or detain suspects without a warrant and they can order internet providers to remove any information which they claim harms national security. carrie lam has warned pro—democracy activists not to challenge the law, saying the consequences of doing so will be severe. mike pompeo has described the removal of pro—democracy books as orwellian. the law was passed behind closed doors in beijing, without approval in hong kong's partially—elected legislature. danny vincent reports,

from hong kong: protesters gathered in malls across the city, armed with blank pieces of paper. for demonstrators, it's no longer clear what's legal to write in hong kong. it's no longer clear what's legal to say. according to newly—released details of the national security law, police can now search homes without warrants. libraries and schools have been told to remove political books from their shelves. joshua wong was once the face of the hong kong protest movement. he's on bail for illegal assembly. it's still not time to surrender. at least we're still here, and we'll stand and fight. your book could potentially be banned here in hong kong. self—censorship is a thing that happened in the previous state. but direct censorship, like what happened in china, is the thing we never imagined in the past.

my book, published five years ago — or even seven years ago — when i was still in high school, and now seems to be banned in the public library of hong kong. but we still need to continue. pro—democracy campaigners say that hong kong has changed almost overnight. high—profile activists likejoshua wong and agnes chow say that they could soon be targets of this new national security law. the effect has been chilling. protesters fear that even this silent demonstration could be classed as subversion and lead to life imprisonment. pro—democracy books likejoshua wong's have now been removed from public libraries. so for me, the most important thing is not to give up, is not to surrender, and not to give up our belief in protecting our hometown. outside the uk consulate, a small group of pro—beijing demonstrators gathered, angered at the british government's pledge to offer a path to citizenship to millions of hong kong residents.

and in london, the ambassador to the uk was firm. hong kong affairs are china's internal affairs and brook no external interference. one important task of the national security law for hong kong as they are is to prevent, suppress, and punish collusion with a foreign country, or with external elements to endanger national security. hong kong is now caught in the middle of a war of words. critics fear the former british colony is becoming just another chinese city — void of the political freedoms it was promised. danny vincent, bbc news, hong kong. ho fung hung, is professor of political economy atjohns hopkins university, in baltimore, in the us. he said the impact of the new law in hong kong

could be far—reaching. it is not only the end of hope for democracy, it is a major significant attack on the freedom that hong kong has been enjoying since the british rule. before 1997, hong kong was not a democracy but at least people have the freedom to speak and write books and articles and criticise the government and i think now they are taking it away overnight. and how do you think hong kong will deal with this? is there any pushback possible or will they simply be, like so many people in mainland china, just pretend they don't have any political opinions and certainly don't express them? what worries me is that the chinese government is giving no choice to the people in hong kong, except continue to fight, because hong kong people have been used to freedom of expression and protests and voting for the candidates they like in local election, but now they are being taken away. the rights are being taken away

so that the hong kong people have to fight on and the frightening thing is that this national security law is not only going to affect dissidents and activists but also many ordinary people, professional business people. later on when there is a medical doctor who wants to talk about a virus that the chinese government wants to cover up like the wuhan virus, not long ago, or a journalist or a financial analyst want to talk about accounting fraud of a state—owned company in hong kong, so they will be affected, so with the international business concentration of hong kong, it is not only an attack on the freedom of hong kong, but also the freedom of the whole world. we have heard democracy activists asking for people in the world stand with the people in hong kong, is there much the rest of the world can do? international pressure hasn't made much difference to the treatment of uighurs in xinjiang or what china is doing in tibet.

china is such a powerful player in the world. i think hong kong's situation is different from tibet and xinjiang because hong kong has a high concentration of foreigners and international business journalists, and ngos present, and also the national security law also says the law applies to non—hong kong residents who commit crime according to the law who commits crime outside of hong kong, which means it hasjurisdiction over basically everybody in the world that this attack on hong kong, civil society and business environment will force the whole world to react and to put sanctions on china, and many countries are considering offering political refugees pathway for hong kong people. it is not sure how it works but definitely china has left all countries little choice other than responding strongly to this. professor, thank you so much.

let's just take you back to carrie lam's address, herfirst the national security law was imposed. she has just the national security law was imposed. she hasjust been describing the law itself as lenient, not strict. she is also warning democracy activists not to challenge the law warning that consequences will be severe. she says the political reality is the security law could not have been passed by local lawmakers, she has pushed back against the assertion that she knew nothing about the new law before it was announced, she says that is not true, she says she knew some details about the new law but she had not seen complete details. it was past behind closed doors in beijing without approvalfrom hong closed doors in beijing without approval from hong kong's legislature which is partially elected and the us secretary of state has described the removal of pro—democracy books from

libraries and bookshop in hong kong as orwellian. we will bring you more on thatjust as soon as bring you more on thatjust as soon as we see someone from carrie lam's speech. brazil's presidentjair bolsonaro is saying he's undergone another test for coronavirus, local media had reported he had symptoms associated with covid—19. he told supporters outside the presidential palace he had just visited the hospital and been tested for the virus, adding that an exam had shown his lungs were, as he put it, clean. last month, a federal judge ordered him to wear a protective mask when he is in any public space. there's been widespread criticism including from the world health organisation, that he was not taking the pandemic seriously enough, especially at the start. brazil is the epicentre of the pandemic in latin america, with more than 1.6 million infections. sao paulo is the worst affected area but even as the crisis worsens, the city is getting back to business. hair salons and restaurants have reopened. here's our south america

correspondent katy watson in sao paulo. i went for a walk in my neighbourhood which, for the past three months, has been absolutely dead, a lot of restaurants that cater to businesses have had to shut, beauty salons as well, and the first time in months, you could see them reopening, you could see alcohol gel before they walked in, arrows on the ground where people need to walk when they go to pick up theirfood. a real feeling of life. there are huge concerns of course with this reopening because we had the numbers into this evening, 620 more deaths and more than 20,000 new cases and mondays are usually a very quiet day because of the weekend, numbers are usually much more suppressed than we see later on in the week but there are still big numbers, the country is still in the middle of the crisis and we see cities reopen.

in the united states, texas, florida and arizona are just a few of the latest covid hotspots, with infection numbers and hospitalisation soaring. and now that the country has just gone through thejuly fourth holiday weekend, there are concerns that many more cases could be on the horizon. from new york, laura trevelyan reports. americans celebrated independence day this weekend, as coronavirus infections went up in more than 30 states. on this lake in minnesota, there wasn't much social distancing going on, nor at this holiday gathering and colorado. in arizona, where people have been protesting against the restrictions aimed at stopping the spread of the virus, there are now more than 100,000 coronavirus cases. in the most populated states in the us, florida, california and texas, cases are surging, with fears that hospitals could be overwhelmed. right now, the virus has the upper hand throughout much of america, most of america. we can regain the upper hand if we work together.

but president trump, who celebrated july the 11th in washington, insists the increase in cases is not about the virus spiralling out of control — it's because ramped—up testing is uncovering more infections. now we have tested almost a0 million people. by so doing, we show cases, 99% of which are totally harmless. as infectious disease experts poured scorn on that claim, the president's allies found themselves, not for the first time, explaining what their boss really meant. i don't think it was the president's intent to downplay that as much as saying, "let's look at the risk, and let's look at this in an appropriate way, based on facts and figures." new york was once the epicentre of the outbreak in the us. yet today, manhattan entered stage three of reopening, as the number of cases has dropped dramatically. but crowds gathering on beaches at the weekend prompted

the governor to warn people not to get complacent. andrew cuomo had this message for president trump. just wear the mask. i've been asking him to do it for weeks. just wear the mask. the president hasn't done so in public yet. on the defensive, his advisers point out that fewer people are dying from the virus in the us now, but as hospitalisations increase, that could change. the president, meanwhile, is planning a campaign rally in new hampshire for saturday — even as cases spike across america's sunbelt. laura trevelyan, bbc news, new york. let's get some of the day's other news. the world health organisation says the coronavirus pandemic has caused a critical shortage of hiv medicines in more than 70 countries. the un agency said about a third of all people reliant on the anti—retroviral drugs lived in countries now experiencing supply shortages.

the white woman videod as she called the police to complain about an african—american birdwatcher in central park, in new york, has been charged with filing a false report. there was a furious reaction online, in may, over amy cooper's response to the man who had asked her to put her dog on a leash and keep her distance. prosecutors accuse her of falsely reporting the confrontation, which is a misdemeanor. she's due in court in october. a pub in the county of somerset in england has decided to close after being told a customer tested positive for covid—19. the lighthouse inn in burnham on sea only reopened on saturday after being closed for months. the manager said staff were also waiting for results of their tests. the british socialite ghislaine maxwell, former girlfriend of the disgraced financier and convicted paedophilejeffrey epstein, has been moved to prison in new york, from new hampshire, where she was arrested. she faces six charges, including recruiting and grooming girls for epstein. she has previously denied any wrongdoing. here's our new york

correspondent, nada tawfik. what authorities wasted no time after the holiday weekend, transferring ghislaine maxwell from new hampshire to new york on monday morning. and what's interesting is, even though her trial is taking place in manhattan, she is being held in the brooklyn metropolitan detention centre. so she won't be held at the same prison where jeffrey epstein took his own life in his prison cell. now the prosecutors in her defence lawyer have requested a bail hearing for this friday — that's still not confirmed, the judge has to set that in the calendar. but we already know that prosecutors will argue that ghislaine maxwell is a flight risk. they say she has three international passports, she's extremly wealthy, with one account having

$20 million in it. and that she a lot of international ties, and every reason to flee because of the criminal charges against her. she's facing up to 35 years in prison. so that will certainly be the main points to be discussed at the hearing on friday. i think many people will also be keeping an eye on what the defence strategy is going for. will ghislaine maxwell want to co—operate with federal prosecutors? they are looking into anyone who conspired withjeffrey epstein and, while victims have described maxwell as the chief enabler, she certainly may know who else may have been involved. so the big question is whether she plans to co—operate with investigators and what strategy she will take moving forward. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: bringing comfort from coronavirus in chile — the violinist who serenades the sick.

central london has been rocked by a series of terrorist attacks. police say there have been many casualties, and there is growing speculation that al-qaeda was responsible. germany will be the hosts of the 2006 football world cup. they pipped the favourites, south africa, by a single vote. in south africa, the possibility of losing hadn't even been contemplated, and celebration parties were cancelled. the man entered the palace through a downstairs window and made his way to the queen's private bedroom. then he asked herfor a cigarette, and on the pretext of arranging for some to be brought, she summoned a footman on duty, who took the man away. one child, one teacher, one book, and one pen can change the world.

education is the only solution. applause this is bbc news, the latest headlines: hong kong's chief executive has been giving her first comments on the new security law imposed by beijing. she is called it lenient, not strict but says national security is a redline that should not be crossed in the law will be vigorously implemented. the british athlete bianca williams is considering legal action against the metropolitan police. she alleges they racially profiled her when she was stopped with her partner driving in london on saturday. the couple had their 3—month—old baby in the car when they were stopped, searched and handcuffed by police. a statement from scotland yard says there is "no concern" about the officers‘ conduct. our home editor mark easton has the story.

police in north london stop a mercedes and demand the occupants, both black, get out of the car. wait, wait, he didn't do anything! that's the voice of bianca williams, a gold medal winning british sprinter. for what?! why are you touching me? her distress is obvious as officers demand she leave her 3—month—old baby in the back of the vehicle. along with her partner, portuguese sprinter ricardo dos santos, the young mum is handcuffed. get out of the car and we don't need to do this. i'm at home, bro! what are you doing? but after a search, both are released without arrest. i tried to pull myself back into the car because i've got a baby, i'm a mother. my mother instinct kicked in and i'm not leaving my son in the car. he's a baby. they were just so aggressive and i don't think they needed to be.

ms williams currently trains with former olympic champion linford christie, who tweeted angrily: the matter was raised at a virtual meeting of pa rliament‘s human rights committee today. they have one perception in their mind all the time, that if you are black, you must be up to something. every day it saddens my heart to see these video nasties of police officers but a whisker away of smashing screens in front of a black person's face. would that happen to a white family? the independent office for police conduct says it's making enquiries ahead of any formal investigation, however scotland yard says it has reviewed the video as well as pictures from officers‘ body—worn cameras and is satisfied there were no misconduct issues. the labour leader, keir starmer, a former director of

public prosecutions, believes there are still troubling questions to answer. i don't know what led to the stop in the first place but what i do know that if i was a senior officer looking at that video footage i would feel uncomfortable about the way it was dealt with. police in london have dramatically increased the use of stop and search during the lockdown period, hoping to disrupt the activities of violent drug gangs. in the last three months, there have been more than 100,000 stop—and—search operations carried out in the capital. in the year tojune, more black people were stopped than whites, which means proportionately black people are four times more likely to be stopped. the black lives matter protests highlighted the disproportionate use of stop and search against black people, but the commissioner of the met, cressida dick, has said she is not going to pander to some new public opinion, and insists stop and search is a vital tool in the fight against crime. i would say it's my normal, it's horrible to say, it's normal, because it's happened so many times. something needs to happen

and we have to make a change. mr dos santos says he's been stopped on at least 15 occasions driving the same car but this time a video has gone viral and the questions are refusing to go away. mark easton, bbc news, scotland yard. the duke and duchess of sussex have said the history of the commonwealth needs to be acknowledged. prince harry praised those who've tried to right the wrongs of the past, even if it's uncomfortable. they were speaking during a video call with young leaders of the queen's commonwealth trust. certainly when you look across the commonwealth, there is no way that we can move forward unless we acknowledge the past. and i think so many people, they've done such an amazing, incredible job of acknowledging the past and trying to right those wrongs. but i think we all acknowledge on here there is so much more still to do. it's not going to be easy and, in some cases, it's not going to be co mforta ble. chile has been hard hit by the pandemic, nearly 300,000 cases, more than 6,000 deaths. as so often, the frontline is in hospitals across the country.

as the bbc‘s tim allman reports, one nurse is trying to ease pressure on the patients and her colleagues in an unusual way. even in a place full of fear... there can be the most beautiful sound of hope. at the intensive care unit of this hospital in santiago, nurse damaris silva plays her violin. she has already worked a full shift and as she walks the corridors for hours, trying to soothe and inspire. translation: i am delivering a little bit of love, a little bit of faith and a little hope with my violin. every time i do it i do it from my heart. twice a week she does her rounds,

playing mostly a mix of local favourites. some of these patients have spent weeks here but damaris is notjust helping them, she helps those who treat them as well. translation: it is great that she comes around and plays music. it is something really beautiful, honestly. as much for me as i imagine it is for the patients who are quite stressed from being sick in here. chile's health ministry says there are positive signs things are getting better full but in a system that has come close to breaking point, spirit desperately need to be lifted. damaris is doing her best. one song at a time. tim allman, bbc news. back to the menus again,

reminder of the story. hong kong chief executive carrie lam was still speaking, the first time since a national security law was imposed on hong kong by the communist party leadership in beijing. she been defending the new law, calling it very mild but says the security is a redline that should not be crossed in the law will be vigorously implemented. she sang the consequences will be severe. without approval from hong kong's legislature which is partially elected. carrie lam said the law was not doom and gloom for hong kong, she is not noticed widespread fear among residents. she said she knew some details but says the reality is it would never have been passed by hong kong's legislature. the us secretary of state mike pompeo has announced the removal of pro—democracy book is from

bookshops as orwellian. there is much more on the bbc website and on our twitter feeds. is much more on the bbc website and on our twitterfeeds. give watching. —— thank you for watching. well, not much happening with the weather out there at the moment. a lot of dry weather, some clear spells. and, actually, tuesday morning isn't looking too bad at all across most of the uk. however, rain is expected, and once it arrives, it might stick around all through the day. and it will end up being grey, damp and cool at least for some of us — not everywhere. now, at the moment, you can see the gap in the weather across the uk — some clear spells here. but out in the atlantic is this daisy chain of weather fronts. you can see the clouds here, rain—bearing clouds. that is heading in our direction. once it reaches us, it will stick around, this whole sort of conveyor belt of cloud and rain, probably

for a good 2—3 days. so, this is what it looks like through the early hours. you can see quiet across much of england, wales, scotland, apart from a few showers there, dry just about to northern ireland, but here is that weather front, that daisy chain of cloud and rain that i've just been talking about. that's going to be reaching ireland very early in the morning and then spread into northern ireland. then, basically, it's this central swathe of the uk that will turn grey and wet at times. so northern wales, merseyside, certainly lancashire into the lakes, not particularly pleasant, and that rain will spread into yorkshire too. either side of that, actually, the weather isn't too bad at all. some sunshine there in scotland and in the south of the country as well. but then, that weather front, that sort of conveyor belt is going to sink further southwards. so it's more southern parts of the country that gets the cloud and outbreaks of rain on wednesday —

whereas areas to the north, will turn a little bit brighter. so, liverpool, perhaps some sunshine there come wednesday and 18 degrees. now, it's still with us on thursday, the remnants of it. still cloud and some outbreaks of rain across the south, probably from liverpool northwards, the weather is looking better. some sunshine in belfast there on thursday, not a bad day, but cool, 16 degrees, this is airfrom the north atlantic. all of that warmth is still way to the south where it's heating up across spain, portugal and france. we're in the cool air right now. now, this is the outlook for the next few days. that warmer air from the southern climes just about reaching us, but we'll have to wait until the weekend.

this is bbc news.
