ministration could have acted earlier and saved thousands of lives. and in football the bundesliga has its 1st big blooper since the restart to this goal kicking out past her to berlin an important victory. i'm serious i was gonna thank you for joining us china has taken another step to increase its control over hong kong and subdue public protest beijing's national people's congress overwhelmingly passed a plan giving the chinese government the power to begin imposing new restrictions on hong kong the controversial national security law will bypass the territories own the ruling legislature pro-democracy advocates say the law violates the freedoms promise of the hong kong special one country 2 systems status. the chinese government said the implementation of the security law was for the long
1:02 pm
term benefit of hong kong's prosperity and stability. one country 2 systems is china's basic state policy. i mean the central government has all along fully and faithfully implemented one country 2 systems under which the people of hong kong govern hong kong with a high degree of autonomy. earlier we spoke to journalist 5 more in beijing about the new chinese security law and its implications for hong kong i mean from the chinese point of view it's basically restoring law and order they want to ban any succession this activities and that's exactly the scary part for the protest movement protocol democracy activists in hong kong because they are labeled as successful in this and some force of by the central government they fear that basically them movement will be equal and some activists are hoping that
1:03 pm
actually the new law will be the death or accelerating the death of an autonomous hong kong why also because china can implement or enforce the law with their security forces and maybe many people are not aware that actually the chinese military has one garrison in hong kong namely the people's liberation army and also the major general has talked to said in interviews before that they stand firm to defend the national security of the central government in beijing. well i'm gong status as asia's financial hub could be at risk after china announced it would bypass the region's legislature to impose its own security measures to bring protests across the city so far business in hong kong has been punching way above its weight it is ranked among top global financial centers it has one of the biggest stock exchanges on the continent while plenty of investment banks call hong kong home but that status is at risk on kong was already hit by protests last year
1:04 pm
following falling on 3 places the 6 most important financial hub in an index published by the think tank the yen that was back in march and the new security laws could see it fall even further. all right let's get some perspective on that now with clifford coonan from business is with us here in studio high cliff so what kind of impact do you think that this new legislation will have on hong kong status as as an investment i think it's going to the normal enormous impact whether you see this is a cold war between the u.s. and china or whether it's an extension of the trade war clearly this is a major moment in the history of this of the region and this this is being fought in hong kong so basically it's right at the center of the geopolitical storm on a lot of the freedoms and transparencies that we associate with hong kong can no longer be taken for granted ok if that's the case what are the alternatives where
1:05 pm
does the money go well i think singapore is the one that comes to mind most i think also tokyo london frankfurt to your all these other centers are going to probably pick up some of the slack people aren't gone yet and the waiting to see how it unfolds and things are. i think it's a major blow to hong kong's transparency and independence and it shows that when making the decision about whether china wants to crack down on the democracy movement in hong kong or enjoy the benefits that hong kong has a financial center has to offer they've chosen the political answer and i think politics will always trump the the economic going to comes to chinese communist party we've seen really strained ties between the u.s. and china but what do you think this all means for europe and how it goes about its economic relationship with china where europe is very much caught in the middle right now it's obviously a very close ally of the u.s. on the other hand it really enjoys a very strong trading relationship with china germany in particular has
1:06 pm
a very strong trading relations you see with folks who are going on the other big companies everywhere you can just see what chancellor merkel will say about this so far we've had have been very recently vague statements saying about protecting autonomy so now what we want to see is where this goes after this now it's a big challenge for europe to balance these things the need to keep china on side what also maintaining its traditional strong relations with the u.s. so there's a lot of there's a lot of a balancing act to go all right clifford coonan from business with us here in the studio thank you so much. let's go to the u.s. now world where the covert 1900 death toll has topped 100000 that is more deaths than just in just 3 months than the number of u.s. military men and women who were children 44 years of armed conflict the coronavirus fatality rate in the u.s. accounts for nearly a 3rd of all global deaths the trumpet ministration has been criticized for responding too slowly to the pandemic experts say many of the deaths could have
