i need to stop or something while. the cleaners social media's shadow industry starts junee on g.w. . this is due to the news live from berlin protesters return to the streets of hong kong. pro-democracy activists say china's proposed new security law will bring an end to the territory's autonomy but of aging for the details also coming out. to come muslims around the world drank their fast for the last time in the ramadan

overshadowed by the specter of covert 90. and in week 2 of them going to sleep just returned from a forced break fire show their heads above the rest after dispatching frankfurt the stars are aligned for a match up with 2nd placed dorothy. i'm nick spicer welcome to the program protests have been taking place in hong kong after china sparked outrage with a proposed new security law beijing's plan would ban what it calls secessionism and subversive activity and could allow chinese security agents to operate in the territory it's expected to be passed next week pro-democracy campaigners say the law threatens the territories autonomy hundreds of them have gathered in a central shopping district police have fired tear gas and pepper spray.

incredible has been following the story for us and joins us now from beijing found in could this new law actually be the end of hong kong's autonomy as protesters fear. well possibly yes but i think right now it's still too early to tell i mean what is basically scary for the protest movement is that china with the new proposed law could install their own security forces on the ground that's basically . something that has never happened before so yes of course autonomy i would say see britain as it has never been since 1907 when the former british colony was handed over to china and i mean the race the. also the anger is really high that's why also today on the sunday the people are gathering on the street and of course the the security forces they used tear gas they use of watson and also because the protests are not a far. far right and also they're still the fear of

a 2nd wave coming so of course the protest movement is also we can because of the coronavirus situation and how has the hong kong government ribbit reacted to the protests i mean depends on what time last year in the beginning they were rather deescalating i would say and also the security forces were restraint the local police was actually reacting moderately but with increasing escalation also the police used much more violence and also a local government and kerry lamb she was less understanding and condemn the protest movement much more and that in turn has also led to greater radicalization by the protest movement it's actually a push a cycle and the hong kong government however says it will fully cooperate with beijing so what options does that leave for the pro-democracy movement. i mean they are basically calling for. foreign governments to support them day expect also

a foreign governments to sanction china however i mean they're not many allies left basically they can count on the u.s. government i mean for donald trump for example this escalation between the protest movement in hong kong and the government in beijing that's. coming because they can also use it for their own. agenda and of course yes voice strong support however u.s. and europe they can still count on some degree of support for example by the german government but other than that i mean most governments are also afraid to voice their support for the hong kong government because beijing. they are reacting very sensitive for them it's an internal matter and they don't want any interference just really quickly if you don't have been when would this new law be implemented if it went forward. i mean global times. newspaper here in beijing said that it could be. ok to have encroachments in beijing

thank you for that. muslims around the world have begun celebrating a somber eades the annual festival that marks the end of ramadan. because grand mosque would ordinarily packed with worshippers but this year it was almost empty in indonesia the world's largest muslim majority nation people prayed in the open air many of them praying in the streets on the outskirts of the capital jakarta. from estimated 1900000000 muslims worldwide the coronavirus pandemic means no possibility of praying at the mosque no family reunions and no meal together to celebrate the end of fasting. filmed at this time last year this is what dhaka in bangladesh normally looks like in preparation for 8. now measures introduced to curb the coronavirus have left it on recognizable from

the normally we see many customers coming in ahead of aid but this year there are far fewer we've opened our shop for the last 4 days and sold nothing. more than 400 reported deaths and 30000 and factions prompted the country to extend its lockdown restrictions until the end of men. confined to their homes many will find a 3 day holiday a very different experience this year. as there is a nationwide and we can't do outreach shopping because markets are closed we have donated the money for all our aid related expenses to the poll. was. even in europe where some countries have begun to ease restrictions faced preparations have been hindered by rules that prevent blood gatherings. i think this will be a sad byrom for me because no one will come to visit and i will spend a learned but i will buy groceries and cook everything just as i always do and i will send what i make to my loved ones to enjoy it hard. for strictures are not

most determined to celebrate the end of a long month of fasting with plenty of comfort food. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. germany's loosening of its corona virus restrictions is being tested by new outbreaks more than 40 people have contracted the virus after attending a frankfurt church earlier this month and 11 people who visited a restaurant in the country's northwest have also tested positive. despite the threat posed by code 19 americans have been heading to the beach to celebrate memorial day weekend the holiday marks the unofficial start of the summer in the u.s. president donald trump celebrated with his 1st round of golf since the pandemic broke out. fire has engulfed a warehouse on san francisco's iconic fisherman's wharf sending a thick plume of smoke over the waterfront the blaze threatened to spread to a historic world war 2 era ship before firefighters brought the flames under

control. in china the director of the will head institute of has dismissed as pure fabrication speculation by u.s. president donald trump that the covert 19 virus could have leaked from his lab has often referred to the pathogen as the china virus even before the corona virus pandemic relations between washington and beijing were tense because of trade issues but now the relationship between the world's 2 largest economies has turned even colder the world's term most powerful men are at loggerheads over the pandemic there's no love lost between she and trump but it's not just passing it's terrible picture of relations between beijing and washington. i think that the u.s. china relationship is worse than it has been at any time since the tiananmen massacre of june 1989 and it is really in rapid freefall

i don't know where the bottom actually is and i think as we go into the election season into the in the united states that this relationship is going to further deteriorate and the fox news interview at the beginning of my president trump said it wasn't his crisis management skills but it cost tens of thousands of american lives. it came from china it should have been stopped stopped on the spot they chose not to do it or something up and either that was incompetence or they didn't do it for some reason and we'll have to find out what that reason was but she wasn't taking the criticism lying down getting back with a dose of national pride of the people's congress that was echoed by an online film from china's state run press. we discovered a new virus it's dangerous. wear a mask it portrays china's actions as prudence and the u.s. as arrogant implying the u.s.

coronavirus crisis was hong grown trump's response was the storm of tweets denying that china had adequately warned the u.s. and the queues in beijing of launching a propaganda attack he dubbed the virus a plague from china and said it was quote worldwide killing but observers in washington suspect that a coal and calculated strategy is behind trump's apparent outburst american attitudes toward china as several recent polls have shown are very negative and trending even more negative and so i think that trump's campaign strategists are counting on the fact that bashing china will be popular and will when president trump thoughts and the republicans are fearful that geo political power dynamics are shifting and not to their advantage the international order as we have known it for 30 years is breaking. now imperialist china seeks to remake the world in its own image and to bin the global economy to its own will. and in washington over the
