territory allegation china denies hong kong activist joshua long told e.w. the law if passed could result in more arrests of both hong kong and foreign nationals and both being put on trial in mainland china we'll have more from joshua wong in a moment 1st this report. to paris after a 2 month delay china's political event of the year is now underway she's here some $3000.00 delegates from across the country have gathered for the national congress in beijing details on a controversial bill that would ban treason subversion and sedition in hong kong are expected soon china's premier vowed to uphold the one china 2 systems policy but stressed that change is necessary likud shaam said beijing will establish sound legal systems and enforcement mechanisms for safeguarding national security in the 2 special administrative region and see that the governments of the regions fulfill
10:03 am
their constitutional responsibilities. but there are fears that the new law could reignite the pro-democracy protests that crippled hong kong last year . residents fear that their special rights to assembly and free speech are under threat. guy come on hey at me now it won't be possible to openly talk about the government as they might think you are threatening the country's health and security and they could arrest you. here on this is not freedom at all it is not a democratic country. if they if they can have an auto way or other alternative to solve this they don't need to cross their nationalistic making laws to tongue off the tongue off oppressive law to punish hold on people so. pro-democracy lawmakers accuse beijing of trying to force the bill through without their consent
10:04 am
. this is a complete destruction all for one country 2 systems. and also is a complement. this. all vaal promises made on the sino and british joint declaration as well as all the promises that have been made by the chinese government towards the world the proposed legislation is also being met with resistance outside of china the u.s. warned washington would respond very strongly if the bill is passed. let's get the view now from hong kong we're happy to be joined by joshua wong 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. shouldn't you fight is generated by beijing and the national secretary laws that such as the 5 face to impose in hong kong they
10:05 am
totally follow a procedure justice and even hope to bypass the legislature in hong kong once national people congress amongst and hong kong polish or the secret agent can just this to arrest people prosecute people or even extradite hong call us from hong kong to china and maybe the next new shovel 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 them poses 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 surely if i think generated as no doubt at all they will call the new crackdown on hong kong people that fight bought them ocracy and freedom but i just have to let the world to know that the national secreted law is not only is to double fault hong
10:06 am
kong citizens even travellers all fairness in hong kong they are also a lot will be arrested with such evil little things 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 it imposed the extradition law they just planned announce it in beijing is that go for the legislation process in hong kong and i just saw the hong kong 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 knol is how they
10:07 am
erode it on universal well it was that we all believe it and not only affecting citizens in hong kong but even the flow mats 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 bread of a few years ago might result in one country one and a half system but not right now is that iran one country one system but ok call us must back to the street again on just one country one system that would mean ineffective and to hong kong as we know it today that's the nightmare we must need to face and we must stand up and knock against it and beijing imposed the 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
10:08 am
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. and a national people congress show before this law will cost. in beijing we must get a people on the street again what are you going to be doing joshua. no but the mobilized people with it to this rate called the new international advocacy and more important thing is we have to let the global community to stomach hong kong just like how fellow global come let us hold this stand with hong kong in 2910 you're looking for help from abroad are you thinking that america donald trump said he would react very strongly the u.s.
10:09 am
president should beijing and act this law are you hoping for help from the u.s. . actions speak louder in a burst some call it's not a matter of left or right it's just a matter of right or wrong and recall. 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 whole called human rights and democracy act or global but let's get there and as the sanction mechanism and let beijing realize that college how to china is not the only way out joshua long for us today from hong kong thanks very much for that joshua thank you well a communist party congress and beijing comes as for the 1st time in 3 decades china has abandoned its annual economic growth targets doing so decided to try to virus and global uncertainty in his annual work report to the congress premier league
10:10 am
a trying so that china has set a target of creating 9000000 new urban jobs he also promised to increase spending and financing to support the economy which contract by some 7 percent in the 1st quarter of this year alone oh darn. clifford goonan from the the view 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 out there you've got the pandemic you've got on certainties about trade china is in to 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
10:11 am
growth forecast is going to be and i think kita this is well is the fact that the relationship with america is so 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 pent demographic i think that we're having
10:12 am
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 import. and i think the pandemic highlighted just how how dependent countries developed countries in the west are on. other sources of supply for the pharmaceuticals a particular political tension 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 is global the downturn the chinese middle class has been hard hit millions of people out of work which is trying to get in do to get its factories open again
10:13 am
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 would be making the economy more flexible and 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 this congress moves forward thanks very much for that clever . here's now some of today's major coronavirus developments india has seen its biggest single day rise in cases begins easing its nationwide lockdown or than 6000 new infections reported on friday brazil's fast approaching russia to become the world's 2nd largest infection hotspot behind the u.s. this comes after brazil reported record number of daily drama by wrist deaths in the u.s. a secured about a 3rd of the 1st 1000000000 doses planned for astra zeneca experimental vaccine by

a football deprived world will be turning on the german capital tonight as head of berlin city rivals. there will be no fans allowed in berlin's iconic olympic stadium but more people than ever will be watching the contest on t.v. the bonus legal remains the only major. european league 2 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 head to head out there 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 with our main goal of staying in the league at all. also for me the 1st priority is staying
10:23 am
in the legal not being city champions in the years that we need. to stop meisterschaft had eased further from trouble with a 3 male win at hoffenheim last weekend the 11th placed side say at one point and one spot above their darby rivals there was criticism that the players 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 i'm as we've already talked a lot of banks have this isn't the darby we would have imagined there's absolutely no question about thought of it but 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
10:24 am
can influence. by recent 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 good reviews words good morning to you mark we saw last week. in your own losing to byron that certainly put a dent in 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 as for 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 her 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 the own players so they've got to be careful about that
10:25 am
but on the positive side there won't be tens of thousands of her the 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 is a good 1st return but the police are watching closely there's a big question it's a big area outside the stadium where they can wear their hard to imagine of being empty but what about harry you know they impress last weekend under their new coach yeah but they're actually came in during the coronavirus suspension any other an immediate impact i mean it was a great performance against tottenham 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 the league has returned and almost every single person said has a players didn't give a good example so i think the players will be a bit more cautious this weekend with the celebrations but brutal abba dia is quite
10:26 am
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 the 2 are probably favorites ok what are the other standout games for you as we can 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 checked front for 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
