this is day to live from berlin beijing thoughts of some boldest action yet to tighten its pressure on hong kong china's ruling communist party signals it will impose a sweeping rule to criminalize so-called foreign interference in the territory critics say the legislation will further erode hong kong's autonomy also coming up grief and destruction in the wake of cyclon. talks of india and bangladesh up and left devastated by the storm dozens of people are dead and the pandemic is complicating efforts to assess the damage and bring relief. at the progress and

they make reaches for a grim milestone 5000000 confirmed cases and 300000 deaths across the world health organization cases are surging and when the 2nd wave is likely to come to. pass between that and any getting deported human rights groups are accused police and greeks often physically assaulting migrants and forcing them back into turkey. hello welcome to the program the chinese government has announced that lawmakers will consider legislation that could limit opposition activity in hong kong the move comes in response to hong kong's pro-democracy demonstrations last year a spokesman said the new goal will be discussed during be saved. day's station off

the annual parliamentary meeting that officially begins tomorrow and here today president xi jinping and the members of heaney's party attended china's annual political meetings which opened off to a delay of 2 months to 2 coronavirus. government spokesman wang yang stressed that the basic rules of hong kong will be supported that is how. to ensure the policy of one country 2 systems is firmly on polled over the long term we will strengthen the sense of mission and political responsibility of national committee members representing hong kong and macau and firmly support the improvement of systems in mechanisms for enforcing china's constitution and the basic laws of those 2 special administrative region. ok fabien creech my is following the story for us he joins me now from beijing hello 5 b.n. what more can you tell us about this new law well it's basically

a national security law that beijing wants to implement for hong kong it's a quite controversial because. they want to stamp out what beijing considers subversive succession this most months and activities so it's basically directed at the pro-democracy most men and basically the. response to power demonstration of power it gains the movement that we've all been actually. expecting because. already lost beijing has stressed that there is a need to you know regulate the movement and actually we already see quite strong in hong kong and we're gathering in times square and they were chanting independence is still the way out for hong kong so they are already demonstrated how to not talk about that his 2nd because i want to ask if this will is to be pos what what will it mean for the pro-democracy movement in hong kong. well i mean the details i'll get so this is speculate of but beijing has always

said that the pro-democracy movement is basically infiltrated by foreign spam spies and it's financed by the us government for example and so i would expect that actually this law would you know restrict the activities of let's say think tanks for and think tanks and engine also in hong kong and also further tighten the grip on demonstrations just several weeks ago for example beijing has or hong kong has already arrested 15 of the leading figures of the pro-democracy movement so basically you have the freedom software the restricted right and tell us about more about the reactions that you were talking about in hong kong yeah for example you're showing the international face so to speak of the pro-democracy movement he called it basically that beijing the scripting the so-called one country 2 systems promise it means. hong kong actually granted autonomy in the until

2047 but now basically beijing is holding its grip that it is increasing its grip on its hold on hong kong and yet decreasing the freedom to autonomy hong kong and the people and i'm expecting actually there might be really increasing demonstrations in the next weeks and months ok that's. what the view from beijing thank you. india and bangladesh assessing the damage left by one of the most violent storms in recent years cycling has left a trail of destruction in coastal communities and west of goals main city kolkata millions of people there all without electricity and the coronavirus is hampering relief efforts. in a last ditch effort these bangladeshis are preparing for the worst. feeling sandbags with their bare hands they braved conditions bought on by one of the most

powerful cyclons in decades. meteorologists have dubbed it a super cyclon and as it headed inland it lived up to that name it sent water surging inland some 25 kilometers the damage compounded by winds of up to 185 kilometers per hour. in comic conditions inside kid of bangladesh volunteers helped to bring locals to safety more than 2 and a half 1000000 people were evacuated to shelters like this one which brought new concerns amid the corona pandemic of what the day you can put it there is a shortage of drinking water there are sanitation facilities for them but nurse or shoot distance is maintained for that reason the fear of the corona virus spread is persistent they're. already scrambled to evacuate residents in the cyclons projected path of destruction but that may leave them vulnerable to an increased

risk of the fires 50 kilometers west into co-pay attempts at social distancing futile. i think there are too many people here it's impossible to maintain social distancing i am very concerned we couldn't stay home due to the storm and here is the tension of coronal i'm just trying to dodge both. and unprecedented. and for millions in palm couldn't have come at a worse time. though officials in india and bangladesh say more than 80 people have died in cycling correspondent paul has been following the story for us from day and sent us this update. by the will of the cycle not by me remember you will not be students to india and bangladesh but spend to be assessing the damage wrecked by the sun q why didn't the state of vesting go in india has estimated losses over up to 12000000000 gold was claiming that one with everything but how to be rebuilt

from scratch if you have that how good was to get the evacuation efforts were false complicated by the could one of our as fundamental as people who are concerned about moving into shelters because of crowded situations and invited about contracting to riot is why they would have been set up this of course might also flight have been prevented extensively just 20 years ago a similar cycle in thoughts of life and how often people but it is a case now to be made put is a huge infrastructure these regions already are very strong and psych one problem and climate change has led to the extreme by the events becoming more common in these events. the w.h.o. ses $106000.00 new cases of the coronavirus were reported worldwide in the last 24 hour period that would be the largest single day increase since the outbreak began more than $5000000.00 people are now known to have contracted the virus new cases

all surging in south america hitting countries like korea and brazil especially hard in the u.s. and europe infection rates have started to drop and governments have begun to relax locked out of the strictures but some fire on the edges are warning that a 2nd wave of infections is not a matter off if but when. a christian from the old health organization joins me now he's in geneva hi christian so we've now had the biggest single day number in reported cases hey 5000000 people are now known to have quit at 19 is it safe to say that we're far from out of the woods. yes because if we look at the global picture we can see that indeed the case is not going is the new high of a daily infection rate of children actually the normal cases are so slightly. it's not every day but. so now while in some parts of europe especially it's

local and down it is literally far from many many countries have seen a slight decrease in cases that is good but other countries in latin america in africa are still about to have a higher increase in how banks use starts the whole. section of the people like in their countries ok so in europe for example where both you and i are was at the epicenter of the pandemic for a while where is the new hot spot now. that's moved her to the americans and of course the u.s. the largest amount of flows of amount of cases right now brazil is actually catching up and that is not good and the chills as. a unified approach. inside the country a holistic approach to work with the whole society with every aspect of society little economy with the school system but the health system everything together

with the population is the best recipe and those countries who do not do is aren't facing higher cleese's now and risking to have more faces and deaths again here in europe because there's a lot of talk about preparing for a 2nd wave off the coronavirus when does a w h o expects its. it's difficult to say a 2nd wave because i'm looking to build your optical spaces in different countries in a different time as countries are coming out of the lockdown now as governments are using restrictions of different sides of nature's people start mixing again in the streets start meeting again which is badly needed because our focus was less like that because people are really hungry to to go out and socialize again but the moment they go out and go on vacation again needs and schools need an enterprise is needed in restaurants and bars and even more in public spots he should expect

a clone in places but let's not forget the whole exercise sort of this whole time of lockdown was meant to buy us time was meant to prepare the health system to cope with the cases to get enough test spends hospital beds ventilators brain starts ready to cope with this so as faces in going down this was good and now we need to see that these faces you just say don't don't go up too much again but yet it's possible and very likely actually that the 2nd wave or optics and pieces are coming in all the countries which are not all opening up to a certain extent that is to be expected ok that's christian and my own thing in speaking to us from geneva thank you. now here's an ok at some of today's current virus developments the chinese city of the epicenter of the outbreak has issued a total ban on hunting breeding and eating wild animals research suggests the virus

most likely spreads from wild animals to humans through such practices iran step it health ministers say is some 10000 health which is have been infected with the virus and amy's processing problems in the netherlands has been closed off to some 45 employees tested positive for the pope at 19 it's the latest in a number of large outbreaks in sort of houses. let's take a look at some other stories making news around the world severe flooding has hit the u.s. states off michigan up to 2 dams a failed following heavy rain officials warn a city or 40000 people could end up under almost 3 meters of water thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes votes are being counted off to yesterday's presidential election in hoody the day paused peacefully despite fears of violence the main opposition party has accused of electoral fraud saying its observers were chased away from polling stations there were few independent

a whole new generation of girls. and the german government or close to agreeing on a 9000000000 year virus related risky package which would see the the government buy up a portion off the airline europe's largest carrier has been hit hard by the pandemic in april fewer than 3000 passengers a day travel. compared with the prepared to make average of around 350000 davy. shareholders and e.u. compositional forty's have yet to give their approval off the deal. my business colleague stephen beads he joins me now at the table hey steve breaks down the steel for us as it stands residency 9000000000 euros is basically what the deal is looking for 3000000000 euros is a typical state loan another 6000000000 euros as what's known as a silent participation share in other words voting rights ok that would amount to

about 20 percent stake in the comp. and from the german government it could bump it up to the use of what's called a convertible bond to 25 percent that's important because 25 percent plus one share gives that shareholder the right to basically block a takeover any sort of major strategic moves and that's really why this is happening so that the german government can block a takeover if one were to happen airline is weak and there are deep pockets out there that would love to have cheap assets this allows them to say no ok but how much of a say will been have tenses operations now it shouldn't have any noticeable say in their operations there is precedent for this in 2008 after the collapse of lehman brothers and after the world was sort of shaken with financial financial news out of the u.s. . banks across the world fell apart and one of the most come out spock the german government ended up buying a lot of shares in come out spock and including a silent patient shares in this case and there was no interference within the bank

as well and it eventually diluted those shares and sold many of them off until right now it has around 15 percent so there is precedent for this there was some speculation beginning and some commentary that this could be a way for the german governments really push things like climate it's climate goals for example airlines being a major contributor of emissions but that's really not going to happen the real question here was whether the stay should intervene in the 1st place or not and that's probably why the deal has taken so long to this point ok it's taken this long but at beachy there is opposition there is opposition of course but really it's more on the grounds of competition ryanair has been pretty vocal about it as it is about everything and their chief executive saying hey would be nice if everyone had a deep pockets of germany but the e.u. will take a more serious look at it they've been very clear that they are concerned that germany's resources will allow it to basically boost its companies in ways that other even nations can't it's given the green light for state participation in businesses but it's still going to take

a look at this ok we've got 40 seconds on the clock steve is it just jim in government helping. the. he's doing the same all the countries are european countries france for example helping air france kill them in the u.s. taking a different approach putting grant money and saying hey what you know we'll get that money back through payroll taxes by supporting that employment so different different takes by different countries all right thanks steve that stephen beardsley from d.w. business but that story. nearly 2 and a half 1000000 people applied for u.s. and poland benefits last week as part of the natives wave of layoffs to to the pandemic the u.s. labor department says of the 38 and a half 1000000 people have filed for jobless aid since the virus forced millions of businesses to close their doors all scaled down operations and over 2200000 people have sold aids and today a new program for self employed contract and good workers who are now in age of all for assistance for the 1st time. greek police have been accused of beating

migrants and illegally deporting them back to turkey reports that greek security forces physically assaulted migrants emerged only of this year when thousands gathered in border areas off to turkey encourage them to travel to europe but now d.w. and other investigative reporters has been able to confirm some stories of abuse and eagle deportations off to tracking down victims in turkey they allege greek police arrested them without warrants and forced them to board boats bound for turkey. florian schmidt's is one of the co-authors off that report and he joins me now from the greek city all this i'm going to keep hello florian so you've been in touch with some of the migrants who say they've been assaulted by greek police what have they told you. yet there with no arkansas light reports barely get in the dutch newspaper we were able to locate migrants in turkey who basically told us that they were arrested by police under false pretenses saying that they would

be issued a new papers and then they were taken in almost all of them say that the police confiscated their phones and other personal belongings some told us that there was police violence involved and then they say that they were brought in and then to every river in between turkey and greece where they were put on dates and pushed back to the turkish side ok stand by for him because i just want to let our viewers know that at the end of macho our correspondent in taking you he interviewed migrants at the turkish border town of a dinner a she spoke with people who gave her a similar accounts often from the steward of the recruiters were from afghanistan and we've been working here in turkey for 3 to 4 years our situation is very bad here we crossed into greece in order to go to europe and we waited for 3 to 4 days at the border and then we had to thessaloniki there the greek police beat us and sent us back here not just on nobody the greek police took off all our clothes last

night we only had boxer shorts not affected by us we had nothing left on a. hit us again and again we're just going to be. telling you they told us to lay down like that when we did they beat if they said get out and then they hit us again in the. ferry and has there been any response from the greek government on this report. we did confront them and of course the government in that sense the nice everything they call the allegations regarding human rights violations like reaped law enforcement personnel fabricated and false interestedly though they also say that the measures taken so far have her in full force next to the gravity of the situation greet me just because the new agenda of aggressive surveillance the conservative government is a under a lot of pressure to manage the migrant situation in greece many greeks feel like the country is doing the dirty work for europe maintaining the infamous hot spots

on the items and thus support the government with the such drastic measures like bush fix it well it would be also wrong though to scapegoat reason the situation since brussels has not managed to come up with this is a neutral solution for the migrant situation ok let's talk about the situation at the border between take and greece ad that was already daya before the codifies what impact has the pandemic had on the situation there you know the question is much rather on its corona think the situation with in the country the border between reason turkey is officially closed all official report taishan procedures are on hold at the same time the coronado knock down and the strict measures imposed by the state of greece made it a lot easier for the police to extend into the main event and arrest migrants in refugee camps and in the cities so according to the people we talked to the corona knocked on initiated a new strategy of pushback from greece to turkey ok thank you florian schmitz in
