calling it an assault on the territories autonomy. beijing's new security law is being met with fierce resistance in hong kong residents and lawmakers in the semi autonomy's region are fighting to keep their special freedoms scuffles broke out inside the legislative council pro-democracy lawmakers were forcibly removed. a probation legislator was escorted out amidst the uproar. and pro-democracy lawmakers accuse beijing of trying to force the bill through without their consent. is a complete destruction. all for one country 2 systems and and also is a complement. this on all of our promises made on the sign or british joint declaration as well as all the promises that have been made

by the chinese government to all the world it comes as some 3000 delegates from across the country gather for china's political event of the year the national congress in beijing the law is the most controversial item on the agenda beijing has vowed to uphold hong kong special status but says the law is needed in the wake of protests and foreign interference. these activities have seriously challenge the fundamental principles of one country 2 systems and have seriously undermined the rule of law threaten the sovereignty security and development interests of the country strong measures have to be taken according to the law to prevent stop and punish them. hong kong has been semi autonomous since britain returned the territory to china in

1997. special privileges including the right to assembly and free speech were promised under the one country 2 systems agreement. but beijing has long wanted more control over hong kong a similar law was scrapped in 2003 after fierce opposition as well as an extradition bill that sparked last year's pro-democracy protests and plunge hong kong into crisis. activists fear the bill could spell the end of autonomy in hong kong long before the agreement is due to expire. well proponents praise it as a cultural and situation and as a proud national heritage critics call it an outdated and a cruel blood sport profiting from animal torture the controversy over bull fighting is boiling over in spain as the pandemic has left the industry at a standstill and now an online campaign led by the country's most popular matadors

is calling on the government to save the bullfighting business before it's dealt a death blow by the coronavirus. of one controversy we are joined now by a porter peter wall a doll here in the studio so i mean looks like the tables have turned it's just the bowls fearing for their lives and now it's the industry i mean under normal circumstances we would be in you know one of the hottest face a bowl season bullfighting season right now but as we all know this year's been anything but normal and just this is season was about to kick off spring impose some of the strictest lockdown measures we've seen so far that left tens of thousands in the bullfighting business really as events have been suspended indefinitely you know this is a huge industry we're talking about not just the matador but also the breeders we're looking at you know thousands whose livelihoods depend on the on these events

on these bullfights hotels restaurants. industry experts estimate that the losses could stack up to as much as $700000000.00 euros how is the industry going to make up for that yeah even though spain has begun to lift some of these restrictions it's all been an unlikely that we're can see any actual bullfighting this year. that is why the the sector turned to the spanish cultural minister they say that what they're doing is an art form they very much consider part of spades cultural heritage and so they they say that they show. should be safe but so far he's not really answered those calls for help so now they've taken to social media as we see here to protest they say they're being censored that they're being ignored they're using the hashtag censorship minister in that they're demanding really that they're being recognized for their cultural and historic importance the campaign has won a lot of support on social media but bullfighting remains incredibly controversial

specially in the past couple of years opposition is really really grown and so close to $150000.00 people so far have signed a petition urging the government to not use public funds to prop up both fighting it's not clear how the culture is going its side something that he will leave that decision to the throne of virus and essentially let that be the death blow to the industry. thank you thanks much it's. all the eyes of a football deprived world will turn to the german capitals knight has had to for land host city rivals in your own berlin there will be no fans allowed in berlin so lympics a.v.m. more people than ever before will be watching the contest on television the bundesliga 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 birthday and 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 half. so in additional 3 it would help with 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 you need. to stop meisterschaft. east further from trouble with a 3 male win out hoffenheim last weekend the 11th placed side and i would say at one point and one spot above 3rd to rb 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 says i'm as we've already talked a lot of banks have this isn't just darby we would have imagined there's absolutely no question about it 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 solution by introducing good it'll be a berlin darby like no other without any funds the players will have to generate all the passion. and we are joined now by the noise from data in sports outside of berlin's olympic stadium ahead of tonight's game tom big derby no fans you get

lonely out there. yet was probably likely to be a fairly lonely evening for everybody involved. and that includes the players who obviously going to be missing their supporters tonight playing in an empty olympia start your now it's not really done the darby day atmosphere any favors as you can probably imagine because a game like this usually leaves off everything that goes on around in the anticipation to the game in the stands of course when we think back to the 1st leg of this dog. when you owns ground back in november those fantastic choreographed displays from each set of fans you know are of course going to be missing tonight it's football stripped to its bare bones of $22.00 players and in this case $75000.00 empty seats but as we heard in the report of course the the city championship or the meisterschaft as it's known is on the line so nonetheless a dramatic evening are police expecting any fans to congregate congregate outside

of the stadium well as you can probably see behind me there's not very much going on here at the moment now usually on a usual match day this place that i'm standing in would be full of fans drinking a last drink before heading in to take their seats. at the moment that's not really the case now we spoke to some police here just a few moments ago and they told us that they're not particularly worried they don't have any information to suggest that there are any large gatherings to be planned and you know this was something that was discussed a lot when the debate around the so-called ghost games was in full flow whether or not fans could be trusted to stay away or whether they would gather outside stadiums which would of course be a social distancing disaster but we saw last weekend that those gatherings haven't materialized and i think there's nothing to suggest this evening that this is going to be any different let's get to the get actual game itself now who is favored to win. i think it's probably fair to say this time that heads i

can regard themselves as favorites just about now they only just got their noses in front of it on your own in the league as we heard there in the report and that was bruno labadee his 1st game in charge last weekend but it was a very different head to side and a much more impressive one than we saw in the 1st leg of this darby back in november of last year having said that these are still 2 fairly well matched teams there's not very much to tell between them and when you and i have also been very effective particularly from set pieces so far this season their counter attacks have occasionally been very quick and ruthless so it had to don't manage to deal with those 2 things they could be in for a very difficult evening like i said i think heads of just about probably are going into this one as favorites but very difficult match to call and you know with so much on the line i would like to make a prediction tom and i outside of berlin's olympic stadium thank you.

and a quick reminder now to top stories that we have been following for you here on news a passenger jet with about 100 people onboard has crashed in a residential area and pakistan southern city of karachi authorities say that the plane was en route from lahore and crashed just moments before it was due to land at least one person has survived the accident. but that now you're up to date on top you know i'm sara kelly and berlin thank you so much for joining us don't forget you can always get more on our web site t w dot com take care and see. into a symphony. to treat them beethoven's pastoral symphony is the foundation of an international art project. beethoven worldwide.
