there will be not special teams at the moment we don't know the numbers but this is all the luminary information that we have thank you seen abbas for this quick update. turning to other top story now critics are calling it a historic turning point for hong kong china is preparing to impose a new law on the city banning quote subversion and separatism critics say it's a push by beijing and pro-democracy protests and will effectively bring the territory under direct rule of beijing says its aim is to come to threats to national security. the palace after a 2 month delay china's political event of the year is now underway she 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. oh hey old guy come on hey at me now it might 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. for your own this is not freedom at all it is not

a democratic country. if they if they can have another way or other alternatives to stop this they don't need to cross their national security laws to his tongue off the tongue off a plastic law to punish hong kong people so. pro-democracy lawmakers accuse beijing of trying to force the bill through without their consent. so this is a complete destruction all for one country 2 systems. and also is a compliment. this on our 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 to us the world the proposed legislation is also being met with resistance outside of china the us warned washington would respond very strongly if the bill is passed.

following the story for the most important point source. i would say there are 3 main points and 1st. cracking down session the sick to the teeth and also some force of activities basically everything that could promote independence i mean hong kong's independence from mainland china secondly i mean to enforce the law possibly china could install their own security force on the ground which would be. something that has never been that we've never seen before and certainly china can use a loophole of the hong kong constitution to. implement the law without that he needs to approval of the legislation of the 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 the promise and the plans for what is b.j. in the long run trying to change that. they are 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 arguing with the one country 2 systems pledge and beijing thinks you keep trying to restart the order in beijing and they see it as a threat that you know that 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 i'd say think tanks from the us so basically beijing is sending a message of power that it has control of the situation and wants to stop any interference. the hong kong governor ridge's procreating 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 father that's the nightmare do we must need to face and we must stand up and i can't sit and beijing imposed the national security in law i think that's it's not about the secretary of the nation it's just about the secretary of communist party of china recall all eyes are on to grow to support hong kong people against a national security law that erodes on fundamental and basic freedoms freedom so we really wish no matter us or european country could impose the hong kong human rights and democracy act all cloven it's good to enhance the sanction mechanism and

let beijing realize that college how to china is not the only way out are strong and critical words there 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. pro-democracy movement i mean basically they can count on the help and to support from the u.s. government and they reacted the strongest basically trump said and i'm quoting him here now. in washington could react very strongly to to the new law and possibly also some european countries could voice their support maybe 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 waging 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. religious elected or reelected a new president that's very very critical towards beijing and even the opposition that's more friendly to what's beijing's human base also distancing itself much more to beijing they are not many people left who actually favor unification with china it's only

a very very small minority. 5 extra in beijing reporting thank you. for the national people's congress in china is being held as the country has abandoned its annual economic growth target for the 1st time in 30 years it's out of the coronavirus and global uncertainty in his annual work report to the congress premier league chung says china has set a target of creating 9000000 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 and. not have a look at some of today's coronavirus developments around the world india has seen its biggest single day rise in cases as it begins easing its 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
