this is. from berlin fears for the future of hong kong as china prepares to impose a new security law on the city beijing wants to use the law to rein in democracy the democracy movement activists called for mass demonstrations and urged the international community to step in also coming up germany's holiday hotspots are

enjoying a moment in the saunas the national corona restrictions have largely been lifted but is it enough to fill the gap left by 2 months of lockdown. and 2 bonus league teams prepare for the big cross-town dobby tonight without any fans face on your own with both sides looking to edge of way from the relegation zone. welcome to the program critics are calling it a historic turning point for hong kong china is preparing to pose a new law on the city banning quote subversion and to separatism beijing says its aim is to counter threats to national security but critics say it's a push by beijing to end pro-democracy protests and will effectively bring the

territory under direct rule in an interview with d.w.i. hong kong activist joshua warm called for help from the international community more from wong in the moment but 1st this with force. the palace 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 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 back home the material on this is not freedom at all it is not a democratic country on. your feet if they can't have another way or i thought that if you thought this they don't need to cross their nationalistic we did last. time off obvious falling off a plastic law to punish hold on people so. pro-democracy lawmakers accuse beijing of trying to force the bill through without their consent this is a complete destruction. all for one country 2 systems and and also is

a complement. this on are all the promises 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 and outside of china the us warned washington would respond very strongly if the bill is passed in the west goes over to beijing now where fabienne satchmo is following the story for us with the most important points of this new goal. i would say there are 3 main points and 1st. cracking down on the stick to the ts and all subversive activities basically everything that could promote independence i mean hong kong's independence from mainland china secondly i mean to enforce the laws possibly china put

install their own security force on the ground which be something that has never been that you've never seen before and certainly china could use a loophole of the hong kong constitution to. implement the law without that he approved of the legislation of phone call so we know that actually. such a national security law doesn't enjoy any support from the. from the population or just a small. support because the last time try to actually implement such a law there were so many protests back in 2003 that they actually had to abandon its promise and that sort of plans for what is b.j. in the long run trying to achieve that. i mean they they're trying to solve the conflict on their own terms and we see i think it's interesting that beijing as well as the pro-democracy movement they are the one country 2 systems

pledge and beijing basically trying to restart the order in beijing and they see it as a threat that you know the. pro-democracy movement which still enjoys a lot of support in hong kong are promoting independence and also that they are infiltrated by foreign forces and basically financed by the same think tanks from the u.s. so basically beijing is sending a message of powers that control the situation and once to stop any interference the hong kong government which is probating has said it will fully cooperate with a new law and pro-democracy activists are mobilizing in response. we spoke to an activist joshua wong who described the new law as a nightmare and called for help from the international community let's have a listen to what he had to say that we come back to you. that's the nightmare day we must need to face and we must stand up and knocking 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 recall all eyes are on to go 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 you asked or european countries could even post the hong kong human rights and democracy act all cloven it's good and has the sanction mechanism and let beijing realize that college how to china is not the only way out there is strong and critical was done from just one and the plea for international help other any indications fabienne that someone might call for help. yeah i mean 1st of all i have to say that it's not only do you also want. i mean we've already seen scuffles in the legislative council in hong kong and yet of course there are not so many steps the pro-democracy movement has i mean basically they can count on the help and to

support from the u.s. government and they reacted to this strongest basic keep trump said i'm quoting here now. that washington could react very strongly to to the new law and possibly also some european countries could voice the support namely the german government but yes we have to see that the relationship between the u.s. and china is at an all time low i mean it's never been as bad at least since 1009 when beijing yeah crack down on the student movement here in beijing that to tiananmen square. but aside from hong kong beijing also seems to be hardening its language with taiwan which it regards as a breakaway province. yeah i mean prime minister today gave a speech and he basically encouraged all the citizens in taiwan to promote reunification with the motherland with china and usually they would always at the

term peaceful reunification and this time he left out the word peacefully actually that's a symbolic sign and yes. they just elected or reelected a new president that's very very critical towards beijing and even the opposition that's more friendly towards beijing you know it's also distancing itself much more to beijing they are not many people left who would actually favor unification with china it's only a very very small minority having such. a j. the national people's congress comes as china has abandoned its annual economic growth targets for the 1st time in 30 years scientific coronavirus and global uncertainty as reasons in his annual work report to the congress premier league said china said target of creating $1000000.00 new urban jobs he also promised to increase spending

and financing to support the economy which contracted by some 7 percent in the 1st quarter of this year alone. meanwhile hong kong stocks of tumbled in response to beijing's new security law the how have european markets responded responded child to delaney in frankfurt what are the knock on effects that. this is definitely spooked global markets here in frankfurt the dax opened down about 1.5 percent and spared a little bit of those losses but we are just seeing a lot of investor concern because china had really taken a backseat to coronavirus and now investors are having to rethink about about what the potential risks are for deteriorating china relations with not just the u.s. but really the rest of the world so we're seeing in particular a big hit today to bank stocks so one of the responses from the u.s.

president has threatened to impose sanctions on banks that help to help china to assert more control over hong kong so this is a really big concern for her bank investors today but we're also seeing real estate stocks get hit really hard as these new. regulations could also deter just her investors and real estate and in addition about luxury stocks have also gotten hit really hard as chinese buyers are a huge a huge part of the luxury goods market so if you look at the situation in hong kong . expecting an exodus of financial services. it's actually a concern even before this latest round of tension the pro-democracy protests have really unsettled a lot of people and a lot of financial firms in hong kong hong kong is known as the gateway to china it's where most international investors set up shop if they want to invest in china

and the reason for that is because it's independent from china it has western style walls investors generally feel feel a lot more protected investing and hong kong as opposed to in the mainland and this could certainly this these new crackdown the new assertion of authority could certainly keep investors out of hong kong and cause many of the firms to pull out of. out of the region as well is this just you think a flare up or could this be a long time trying. to investors are having to reassess that at this point this really started out as trade tensions something about tariffs and that was really where this began and now we're just seeing the tensions with china spiral and it's in compas thing a lot of different a lot of different factors now so it's not just the trade war anymore it's also now the question over the democracy of hong kong and also things like drug production

and. the sponsors to corona virus so there really are a lot of different geo political tensions swirling now with china and i think investors are definitely starting to take that more seriously shows a delay in frankfurt thank you for this analysis. time now to have a look at some of today's coronavirus developments india has seen its biggest single day rise in cases as it begins easing its nationwide lockdown more than 6000 new infections were reported on friday brazil is fast approaching russia to become the world's 2nd largest infection hotspot behind the u.s. it comes off to brazil reported a record number of daily coronavirus tests the u.s. secured almost of the 1st 1000000000 doses planned for australian it has experimental vaccine it pledged some $1200000000.00 for the. health care workers in

britain and thailand started taking part in a trial to determine whether the 2 antimalarial drugs and prevent covert 19 in one that u.s. president obama from says he has been taking. you want you know you news still to come seeking communion with one's god while keeping the distance to one's neighbor we'll talk to members of some of the world's major face on what it's like to worship during and. germany restrictions are gradually being eased across the country people are now allowed to travel to other regions many are taking the opportunity to finally get outside and visit some of the nation's best loved tourist sites. 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. that 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 i mean 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. people are also allowed to attend religious services as the lockdown is relaxed worship is half welcome to the reopening of churches mosques and synagogues the country many say their faith is helping them to survive this crisis as we were. also forced people to change the way they pray. at colognes caselli cathedral where shippers have to give their name and keep their distance from others and only receive communion from behind a plexiglass screen. process of worship are only allowed to reopen if they

develop a set of protocols to keep people safe to live by ghassan is the cathedral security officer. thus you do notice the changes there is no singing and that makes a huge difference to our services on the other hand the community can come together and celebrate again and that's the most important thing that's for us and he's he's up every lundy attends mass as often as she can she says faith gives her strength in these trying times. once you get over an initial sense of unease it is a challenge to lead a christian life whatever the circumstances even under such difficult ones as we have now i'm trying getting women to lead by to say it's not about my feelings it's about prayer and go to cities. midday prayers at cologne central mosque for critters that can't baccy this is the 1st time he has come here in many weeks he

had to social distancing as obligato he also has to bring his own prayer mat for hygienic reasons. where he understands the importance of the safety measures he says something important is now missing this is it's nice this is not the way we usually pray together as a community shoulder to shoulder people touch each other we are very close to being together before god gives you a feeling of being looked after and a sense of confidence just to much much better. it's a very warm atmosphere of course it's nice to see the sun shining in if it's warm now too but i do miss the emotional aspects it felt like playing alone again as well as could. nonetheless sparky who is an emo at another mosque is pleased that community religious life is starting up again morning prayers at the cologne synagogue here too many members of the congregation are staying at home fearful of

catching covert 19 despite the precautions being taken. because i was at home here this you know it is sad to see this great shambles so empty in judaism it is fundamental that we pray together as a community itself that takes it to a higher level that this. has an aversion to for and when it's not possible pray or legs a certain strength and this could be it. essential i used to come regularly before the pandemic and now he's back he too says the virus has changed things. always shake hands with people but this was a part of the problem that people understand that you cannot chicken. and we don't do it anymore probably to between the 2 shake hands of someone it's like you say hi somewhere that you will follow if definitely people that we you know. the people of

the most of the course of it with. yeah it's we'll so religious communities can come together again but the intensity of the experience has for now certainly been dampened. time now for a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world russian media reports say the leader of chechnya has been hospitalized in moscow with suspected covert 90 ramzan kadyrov is a key ally of president vladimir putin it's the latest case of a senior official in the russian federation infected with the coronavirus. more than 11000 people have been evacuated from their homes after 2 dams failed in the us state of michigan rising water levels engulf the structures after days of heavy rain lakes normally held behind the dams and drained out across the surrounding area causing widespread flooding. u.s.

president will trump says he may reconsider his intention to withdraw the u.s. from the open skies treaty with russia if it leaves the pact it would be the 3rd arms control agreement has scrap since taking office the treaty was designed to improve military transparency. the karada pandemic has banished many of the to the rounds of home office and companies are waking up to the fact that it can work facebook's chief mark zuckerberg reckons that in 10 years hard his employees will be working from home he too will spend less time his headquarters and said in an interview with i had already announced that as many employees as possible would work from home even after the crisis is over. and some sports news now the eyes of a football deprived world will turn to the german capital tonight as has a 1000000000 host city rivals only on betting there will be no fans

a lot in balance olympic stadium but more people than ever before will be watching the contest on t.v. as leader remains the only major european league to have returned from the coronaviruses bench. 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 stones 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 that men 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 we need. to

stop meisterschaft had eased further from trouble with a 3 male win at hoffenheim last weekend the 11th placed side massive one point and one spot above 3rd to rb rivals there was criticism that the players celebrations against hoffenheim were 2 hands on hygiene guidelines say players shouldn't talk but now coach bruno levante a wants to concentrate on the actual football even if his 2nd game in charge will be another surreal affair. or he says. we've already talked a lot of banks have this isn't just 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 can influence the soulish interest and good it'll be a berlin darby like no other without any funds the players will have to generate

all the passion. yeah quiet atmosphere there live in stadium tonight and with me to break that what we can expect is mark my words from that i was bored a mark on your last 2 by our last weekend did that put a dent in their confidence i don't think so really they played pretty well actually they lost 2 nil but goals both came from set pieces so there's no reason for anyone to panic just just yet as for the olympic stadium being empty well this week the spain coach luis enrique said watching the blunders leave you without fans was sad the dancing with your sister now i don't know how it's going to affect anyone i currently work out if it's a good thing for them or a bad thing normally for in a way said it would be a positive but this is a big moment for you and they've been looking forward to this since they got promoted to the bundesliga they're expecting $73000.00 in there tonight and instead it's going to be empty so they've got to be careful that they don't kind of treat

it as an anticlimax and really rouse themselves for the game but i suppose the police have is there won't be tens of thousands of her fans calling them nasty names so they've just got to concentrate on the job in hand as opposed to everything i would have to look i mean they played very well last weekend against off and i'm bruno now but dearest cornett come in as the new coach and he's got an immediate impact yes there was this who are about the the celebrations her to seem to be picked on as the wanting the kind i was a little too hands on the tool to touchy feely given the the new hygiene recommendations or yeah i think there will be a bit more careful this weekend with their celebrations if there are any i mean we went out in the street during the week just to talk to the people about the bombers the return and almost everyone said ah but the hurt of players didn't have a good example that was really bad they were out of order so i think we'll know to behave this time labadee a is is a tough taskmaster he doesn't tend to stay at clubs very long but he does seem to

get this big reaction when he 1st comes in so i'm i'm tipping her to to when to not wear those. boards thank you. we have some breaking news coming in and authorities in pakistan say a passenger jets with more than 100 people on board has crashed in a residential area in the city of karachi is a pakistani international allan's plane on this as we get is you're watching the news keep up to date with the news on the web sites that is dot com of course also to follow us on facebook twitter and instagram if you don't already do so that's it for now from me mark and the news team here and you're watching the news i got alpha's pencils.
