from all over china have gathered for the national congress in beijing normally lasting 2 weeks the annual congress has been shortened this year to just one because of the corona virus pandemic so it's straight down to business the national committee chair says new security laws for hong kong will be discussed on day one 3rd of how. to ensure the policy of one country 2 systems is firmly up held 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 and mechanisms for enforcing china's constitution and the basic laws of those 2 special administrative region here i. beijing has long considered limiting opposition movements in hong kong but the issue intensified after a large anti-government protests last year when pro-democracy activists took to

hong kong streets to protest a number of proposed changes to the city's laws. the demonstrators believe by jing is chipping away at the territories unique runs to assembly and free speech just this month a number of hong kong lawmakers would drag from parliament amid a round about a chinese national anthem bill that would criminalize disrespect of the song. on thursday many legislators said the central communist party was tightening its grip on hong kong. i just want to say to the international community this is. no mistake about procuring the front of. its promise. and a new low is coming from by general most certain to spark more protests in hong kong and attract attention from the wider world. let's get the view now from hong

kong we're happy to be joined by joshua wang he's one of hong kong's leading pro-democracy activists good day to you and hello to hong kong what's your reaction to what we're hearing from beijing from this proposed new legislation chilling effect is generated by beijing and the national secrets a law that such as the 5 face she employs in hong kong they totally follow procedure justice and even hope to bypass the legislature in hong kong while his national people's congress and the angst and hauled polish or the secret agent can just decide to arrest people a prosecutor people or even extradite all call us from hong kong to china and maybe the next day we shall call would not exist in china but from hong kong is that what you're expecting are you expecting joshua beijing to begin arresting people after it imposes this law for the do so. the number of.

the number of arrests that protester says last summer. and even more than the number of prisoners inmates in hong kong right now so joining me for sure the effect is pain generated and no doubt at all they will call and when you crack down on hong kong people that fight bought them ocracy and freedom but i just want to let the world to know that the national security and law is not only is to double fault hong kong citizens even travelers all fairness in hong kong they are also a lot to be arrested with such evil and does that mean they could be to extradited to the mainland yes and that's the key point and last year we opposed the extradition law really calling for cultural for a show and research into human as people took to the street later on in 2020 beijing did them plan to impose the extradition law they just planned announce it in beijing is that go for the legislation process in hong kong and i just want to

hold on government saying it will fully cooperate with beijing on this national security law what you make of that. no such an awesome price at all beijing kerry level of the hong kong government official just a puppet of beijing all the loyalists of communist authorities and knowledge is how they really get on universal well it was that we all believe it and not only affecting citizens and whole call but even the flow that's and for a nurse all businessman travel to hong kong they might extradite to china and a legitimate reason one country to system after the brad of a few years ago might race out in one country one and a half system but not right now iraq one country one system but ok call us must back to the street again on should one country one system that would mean an effective and to hong kong as we know it today

that's the nightmare day we must need to face and we must stand up and knock against it and beijing imposed a national security in law i think that's it's not about the secretary of the nation is just about the secretary of communist party of china you just called for for people to take to the streets is that what you see happening in the days ahead will people be taking to the streets and and isn't there the concern that they will be arrested then and potentially extradited the protesters to the mainland. no one could and show when will the national security law. in the national people's congress show before this law costs. in beijing we must get a people on the street again what are you going to be doing joshua. no madam mobilize people take to the street called the new international advocacy and more

important thing is we have to let the global community to stem upon call just like how fellow global community is the coldest stomach hong kong in 2910 you're looking for help from abroad are you thinking that america donald trump said he would react very strongly u.s. president should beijing and act this law are you hoping for help from the us extras actions speak louder in a burst some pothole call it's not a matter of left all right it's just a matter of right or wrong and recall a right to grow to support hong kong people against the national security law that erodes on fundamental and basic freedoms freedom so we read it wish no matter us or european country could impose the hong kong human rights and democracy act all global when it's good and has the sanction mechanism and let beijing to realize that china is not the only way out joshua long for us today from hong kong

thanks very much for that joshua thank you. well communist party congress comes as were the very 1st time in 3 decades china has abandoned its annual economic growth targets and doing so inside the coronavirus and global uncertainty in his annual work report to the gathering premier league chang said china has set a target of creating $9000000.00 new urban jobs he also promised to increase spending in financing to support the economy the economy directed by 7 per cent in the 1st quarter of this year alone. clifford tune in from v.w. businesses with us now he's covered the national people's congress for 14 years in a row and he's never seen one like this one good morning to clifford clifford why has kind of decided not to issue its annual report well i think one of the things

that we're seeing this year that in stark contrast to previous years is we've never had so many variables that there you've got the pandemic you've got on certainties about trade china is in some extent further ahead coming out of the pandemic than other countries but at the same time it's very reliant on other countries for its exports and for international trade so there just isn't enough certainty out there i think for china to be able to say with authority that this is what the growth forecast is going to be and i think keita this is well is the fact that the relationship with america is. under pressure at the moment it really is americans taking an increasingly tough line on beijing in a new study shows 40 percent of americans say they will not buy chinese products i mean this is amazing i mean we've seen a lot of negative we've seen a lot of negative comments from from donald trump but i think a lot of people still hold china responsible for the pandemic and i think it's also highlighted a lot of areas where trade has been problematic and i think the relationship

is under pressure not just political pressure but it's also america's is changing the way it looks at things like the supply. chain where it's going to have things made we're seeing a lot more things going back to america china is becoming more expensive other countries in the region are becoming more attractive because they're seen as more natural allies than china so the political is feeding very much into the economic ok when you talk about supply chain 10 demographic saying we're having right now we have to talk about pharmaceuticals china makes almost all of america's drugs it's not alone on this that's a problem isn't it is i mean you've we've always talked about food supply and guaranteeing food supply the pandemic has shown that the supply of medicine is so important i think the pandemic highlighted just how how dependent countries developed countries in the west are on. their sources of supply for the pharmaceuticals particular political tensions start to creep in to the relationship as we've seen with china suddenly people are worried about where they're going to

get the pharmaceuticals from it's the same thing with the development of the vaccine if china gets the vaccine 1st what's going to mean for the u.s. will china do u.s. as it wants its vaccine 1st europe is saying it wants its vaccines 1st so we're seeing a lot of areas like that with the pharmaceuticals in the supply chain in this downturn this global the downturn the chinese middle class has been hard hit millions of people out of work what's trying to get to do to get its factories open again well one of the things from young's work report today was the focus of stimulus on getting people working again they're going to spend and they're going to try and encourage people to get out there again a lot of that will be making the economy more flexible on reducing the alliance reliance maybe on stage owned enterprises but again this is a big political issue in china so there's a lot of challenges ahead to see how these will actually own role in the end and get get the world's 2nd biggest economy after all up and running again ok we'll have more from you as the strongest was forward thanks very much for that clifford . let's take

a look now at some of today's other coronavirus developments brazil suffered a record of 1188 daily coronavirus deciles on thursday sasa pursing russia to become the world's 2nd largest infection hotspot behind the u.s. and the u.s. has secured almost a 3rd of the 1st $1000000000.00 doses planned for astra zeneca experimental vaccine by pledging some $1200000000.00 india is preparing to resume domestic flights within days the country's civil aviation ministry proposing rules that include protective suits in godel's for flight attendants and no food served on board. and health care workers in britain and thailand have started taking part in the trial to determine whether to empty malarial drugs can prevent covert 19 including one that the us president trump says he has been taking time to brief you on other stories making the news today u.s. president trump says you may reconsider his stated intention to withdraw the u.s.

from the open skies agreement with russia if it leaves the pact this would be the 3rd arms control agreement president trump has scrapped since taking office the treaty was designed to improve military transparency. russian media reports indicate the leader of chechnya has been hospitalized in moscow with suspected tobit 19. deer off is a key ally of president vladimir putin it is the latest case of a senior official in the former soviet union being infected with the coronavirus. well a pandemic has forced schools around the world to close leaving millions of children without proper access to education this is also true for the thousands of children in a camp for syrian refugees in jordan the 32 schools in the atari cap have been shuttered to prevent the spread of the virus report now 11 family were doing all they can to

ensure their 6 children stay up to date with their studies. ready set go since dad begins to record how soon do says she learned the letter of rain today and lists off word starting with it. how. far walk how do you. have. a long walk. the recording is sent to her teacher who is working from home this is how the i-man family 6 children are eat learning 5 days a week this is daily life during the pandemic in jordan's zaatari refugee camp the i months can't afford a computer their homework and tests are sent to their teachers via chat groups. let us obviously and the hardest thing is that all of us 6 children have to share one cell phone so it's in constant use about and that makes it hard to send homework.

the jordanian government has also created an education channel providing another window to the outside world around 80000 refugees live in the zaatari camp all of its 32 schools have been closed. this is especially tough for ahmed. and the have i love my teacher i want to see him i miss my school friends i miss my church. mr iman cares about his 6 children future and helps them with their evil earning up to 10 hours a day. the whole day there are 23 groups i rush from group to group and sometimes i have to turn off my cell phone. but i had also find this period challenging but says one shouldn't give up. and that my message to all

girlfriends and girls around the world is that education never saw ups it should always be people's top priority we have to go on education is light education is light and it is their best chance of putting the zaatari refugee camp experience behind them and we have much more on how the corona virus is affecting people around the world at our website dot com here in germany restrictions are gradually being easy cross the country people are now allowed to travel to other regions many are taking advantage of the new freedoms visit some of the nation's best loved her sights. a scene of natural calm a lake in bavaria but looks can be deceptive thousands of people seize the chance to head for the hills again it's our 1st trip in many weeks and tourists cheered by the relaxation of pandemic restrictions locals not so much.

if you want to cross the road or park your car it's completely full everywhere and . a different story at the other end of the country on the island of zilch it's normally packed with tourists but now very few people are allowed onto the island and it's speeches. it's this it's a feeling of freedom again with the sea and the sun in the air. in hamburg tourist boats are back in the harbor after 2 months but now with reduced capacity what the benefit is the ships aren't so full. we booked 3 days in hamburg you just have to get away. people have been getting away to the banks of the elba river in dresden it's almost as if the lockdown is water under the bridge and when you think of all the restrictions it's now the total opposite in the beer gardens along the river

social distancing appears to be the exception not the rule people are happy to raise a glass to their newly regained freedom. and hope that things stay this way. and the eyes of a football deprived world will be turning to the german capital tonight as after berlin host city rivals known berlin now there will be no fans allowed in berlin's iconic olympic stadium but more people than ever before will be watching online or on t.v. the business leader remains the only major european league to have returned from the coronavirus suspension. preparing for the taunts from thousands of rival fans is usually one of the hurdles a player must clear before an intercity darby but not this time the coronavirus pandemic means the stuns will be empty when on your own berlin have to have they're

looking to do the double over their city neighbors but bundesliga survival remains the name of the game i mean do is explore guessing 6 points in total against chatter. so an additional 3 would help us achieve our main goal of staying in the league at all. also for me the 1st priority is staying in the legal not being city champions in the years that. meisterschaft had eased further from trouble with a 3 male win at hoffenheim last weekend the 11th placed side nicely at one point and one spot above 30 harby rivals there was criticism that the player celebrations against hoffenheim were too hands on hygiene guidelines say players shouldn't talk but now coach bruno of india wants to concentrate on the actual football even if his 2nd game in charge will be another surreal affair.

or he says how much we've already talked a lot about have this isn't just darby we would have imagined there's absolutely no question about that could we don't want to think about that anymore we've had enough of that over the past few months from now our focus has to be on want we can influence the soulish must feel good it'll be a berlin darby like no other without any funds the players will have to generate all the passion. ok game tonight in the olympic stadium here in berlin to break that down we have mark meadows from the interviews words good morning to you mark we saw last week. in your own losing to byron that's certainly good dent to their confidence but might do a little bit but not so much i mean they played pretty well actually it was only 2 nil and both by and goals came from set pieces so i don't think you know maybe too

worried after the olympic stadium being without fans it's hard to know if that's going to be a help or hindrance to new york no only for the wayside it's a help but this was their big moment this was their 1st ever trip to head to stadium in the bundesliga they're expecting $70000.00 plus fans there so it's going to be a bit different it might feel a bit like an anticlimax to their own players so they've got to be careful about that but on the positive side there won't be tens of thousands of her fans calling them names so the pressure is sort of off we don't expect many fans to congregate outside the stadium it didn't happen last weekend when the book as they go 1st return but the police are watching closely as the big questions it's a big area outside the stadium where they get where they're going down georgia measures are being empty but what about harry you know they impressed last weekend under their new coach yeah but it actually came in during the coronavirus suspension and he had a an immediate impact i mean it was a great performance against hoffenheim great goals there was a bit of a hoo ha about their celebrations

a lot of people thinking they were the touchy feelie given coronavirus times we actually went out in the street last week to talk to berlin as about what they made of the league's return and almost every single person said had the players didn't give a good example so i think the players will be a bit more cautious this weekend with the celebrations but bring the lad but dia is quite an abrasive character he doesn't tend to stick around at clubs very long but he does have this big media impact so i think we're probably favorites ok what are the other standout games. well we've got bruce you dortmund playing tomorrow at both bug now that's one of the early saturday games and that gives dortmund actually the chance to cut the gap so by i mean the leaders to only a point if they win. by actually play later on against eintracht frankfurt the problem for dortmund is even if they cut the gap by and should still win because i'm shocked frank are in terrible form both before the coronaviruses bench and

afterwards so but there's only 8 games left in the season so if there are any slip ups at this moment then it could be really crucial come the end of the campaign ok there everyone's going back now after the suspension the quick note here they're all tested for their coronavirus before they go on to the pitch right that they're constantly tested we have some of the positive tests yesterday from dino dresden in the 2nd division but we've not heard anything from blunders the good teams this week it seems everyone has tested negative we'll see on saturday and sunday and indeed tonight how it all pans out mark is over thanks so much for coming in. well the u.n. is marking the international day for biological diversity today a look now at efforts by one vet incur a cow that's in the caribbean to educate the next generation about the importance of looking after. this is bob he's a flamingo on a special mission he's famous in curacao and worldwide veterinarian or don't do same bob's life after he had an accident he can no longer fly and he has
