biala gassed. managed by from part. this is news live from berlin china approves a plan to impose controversial national security legislation on hong kong it is likely to further inflame tensions in the territory where protests have been escalating in recent days we will hear from joshua long a pro-democracy leader fears the law could spell the end of the city's autonomy also coming up the u.s. death toll from code 19 crosses the 100000 mark amid criticism of the trumpet

ministration could have acted earlier and saved thousands of law. plus the jury is still out on whether it really works but these south african farmers say warmed would help against the spanish flu that they can help to beat the coronavirus. i'm sumi so what's going to thank you for joining us china has taken another step to increase its control over hong kong and to 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 in the ruling legislature pro-democracy advocates say the land violates the freedom promised under hong kong special one country 2 systems status. while the

chinese government said the implementation of the security law was for the long term benefit of hong kong's prosperity and stability. one country 2 systems is china's basic state policy. the central government has all along fully and faithfully implemented one country 2 systems on the which the people of hong kong govern hong kong with a high degree of autonomy you are right let's get the view from hong kong now we have joshua wang with us he's the leader of the pro-democracy movement in hong kong and also the secretary general of the political group demo system joshua good to have you with us we heard the chinese prime minister saying they're one country 2 systems is our policy but beijing also seems to need to defend national security before protests get out of control so what do you say to that one country 2 system

has already eroded to be one country one system one is national security legislation implement in hong kong because it's just kind of speech cry to a point that secret police from beijing to hong kong the court prosecution and trial we would pick a place in mainland china is that of hong kong and you know this is that including me my stuff that joe said has in beijing is cut off by a whole pot ok so you're saying one country 2 systems does not exist anymore and yet we don't know the actual specifics of this new law we haven't seen it on paper yet so what is then your biggest fear of what you think is going to happen. according to a draw and a framework of the national security law in china if beijing directly apply it to hong kong was the end for ocean regulation which just as i mentioned would be just kind of speech crime and true pocketed people would criticize president xi and

criticized the city's leader kerry lamb i remember one journalist carol lam if and his citizens criticised carolan and urged her to step down under the new law of the nationalist legislation we are with that citizen be arrested prosecuted or joe hong kong government to do a crowbar the answer so what because censorship not only exists in china it will be turned halted nightmare ok you're saying hong kong is going to turn into a nightmare joshua what does that mean for you and for the protest movement i mean what options do you have to fight this as the one who has been arrested for pi's by a whole called police and then joe for you times in the show of hong kong i've never imagined to be arrested by secret police appointed by beijing or in a future i need to study shows and as it is shown gen joe all beijing which would be really terrible and fight that's no differences of hong kong and china and hong kong might not being recognised as the global financial center and i'm all so we'd

opposed this evil bill to be imposed and execute in the home call with masa mobilization ok you have also been appealing for international support you've called for the u.s. to take a stronger response perhaps even issue sanctions what about what you expect from europe with until now seeing the e.u. germany pretty reluctant to issue anything beyond a statement of concern so what are you expecting to see from europe. we urge not only the united states but also for me mr and the european union they could take a stronger send all close it be no tomorrow on friday the foreign minister off different country into opinion it was discussed on the national secretary level in the home call at states got home call with political and economic freedom is on only a matter for hong kong is false a matter of full of western world and also full of well leaders to camp out how china expanding its shop how entrenched and co-optation around the world right

activists joshua wang a leader of the pro-democracy movement in hong kong thank you very much for joining us thank you. ok let's get some more perspective on the story now we have omitted new report with us from germany's green party he's a party spokesperson on foreign affairs and sits on the committee on foreign affairs in parliament this a new report thank you for joining us we just heard from joshua wang there saying this is a matter for the western world this is important to pay attention he has called for the u.s. to issue sanctions on china so what would germany do is germany prepared to issue sanctions for example. couldn't agree more with just wrong it's obvious that we just cannot sit down and watch international law being broken by the chinese government and it's obvious that the implementation of the national security legislation would exactly bring this so it's obvious that the european countries have to come together as soon as possible to talk about consequences this could be

a lot of different consequences which should hopefully should. put pressure on china to step back from from this measure if we do not if. we just do nothing and then do not show any reaction is consequence going to be that there is no stop sign for china and the next stop would be other places that they could try to break the international law group is without china sea which is already a battlefield for international just lation it could be taiwan and you just cannot afford it and watched and doing all of those things we are here now says mr part why haven't there been any consequences coming from europe from germany until now is it because germany for example support economic interests ahead of these very important political considerations i just can shout out to all of the coming community that we definitely know how important china for business is but of course we know that by for example taiwan is also highly important we know that. a lot of

high tech products of the world is coming from taiwan we have to stop china and bring him back today the framework of the international legislation and this is good for business also in having a partner and yet a side of the of off toward which is not caring for a rule of law is not a good term for business what about the e.u. china summit that is planned to go ahead this fall should that go ahead or is it time to rethink this entirely how europe deals with china. i should with. the job now is to to rethink. if it's possible to speak clearly about the situation in hong kong where the human rights situation in this wrong about what we see what's going on toward taiwan then it should take place by just coming around to have. pretty pictures for propaganda in china is not helpful all right on

a new report from germany's green party on the foreign affairs committee in the bundestag thank you so much for joining us thank you. to the u.s. now where the cover 1000 death toll has topped 100000 that's more deaths in just 3 months than the number of u.s. military men and women who were killed during 44 years of armed conflict the coronavirus fatality rate in the u.s. accounts for nearly a 3rd of all global deaths the trump administration has been criticized for responding too slowly to the pandemic experts say many of the deaths could have been prevented. taking the new normal to a new level churches are closed in the new york borough of queens but that didn't stop these catholic priests from tending to their flock outside. many are in need of solace kovac 19 has exacted a devastating toll in new york nearly a quarter of all deaths in the us so far have been recorded in the state that's

a pushing to open up too quickly because of the need to rescue the economy this is fueling fears of a 2nd wave of infections. you know i'm british royal because you know more credit you're going to come up big we can cheap away too many people we can't afford it being not usually the people should nice where the regular normal car and you can hear me those are people you don't want that. many in the us may be happy to be getting back to normal but the virus has not gone away and experts fear this could translate into more infections and more deaths. earlier we spoke to dr eric feigele daying he's an epidemiologist and health economist from the harvard chance school of public health in washington d.c. we asked him to reflect on the u.s. death toll surpassing the 100000 mark were here the number it's 100000 in the 100 days the worst in 100 years and 100 percent of it could have been

preventable or at least 99 percent how do we act sooner because it is the most proof that it's a goal a number of deaths i've never seen it because botching and response and delays notifying were in b.p.'s testing is just so overloaded. it's not just the number of testing the u.s. has a large system but it's how early do it and also how gross it you are with small pieces. are supers running burnt at their nightclub recent week they tested $83000.00 people because that one super spreading of grants and there is the kind of aggressiveness we need to tackle but us is just it's an ostrich and in the sand and it's the 9 science so i'm just to my marriage because so many of the countries that conquered us is just refusing to. do the necessary things to prevent

sally and his family are picking the herb african the war would. be. given what he did. in a moment also the. something between both very important believe we've got a very very important lake in. the family can pick as many as 10 bags a day. you can find the plant all over the place it has been growing here for a long time and the local farmers have been using it as a traditional medicine but now the demand is going up which is good for business here. back in the village they sell the plant for 4 year as a back prices have increased along with the demand for the herb the pitiful is you know we many believe warmer which can protect them from the coronavirus although

there's no scientific proof. by giving the fed some of these because this is a good look around and say oh you question the big one child finance for a new thing that. parents will come flowing into you feel wally see. come clean near you. there are a lot of you know not all of the villagers also believe in warm woods medicinal properties they've been using it for generations even though the village has no electricity no one here has been to the doctor for years one which is prized as one of the most powerful medicinal herb people here say it clears up a stomach ache and half an hour at a fever in 3 days all of letters. what do you get of to get a. bottle is a good medicine if you put your faith. you know. there's also a growing demand in big cities such as port elizabeth an hour's drive from the village

the corona virus is spreading rapidly and urban areas despite the lockdown. has been growing warm wood for the last year the grandmother has been taking it for flu now business is brisk glance he has sold 20 bunches today for one euro each but she doesn't believe it can protect people against corona and i was in the analyses that didn't take them to the dungeon and let. them hear a group of gay. men here there's a very busy thinking about it if you don't have an idea here. i don't know but not on. your character i am a temp the customer has been asking you as well what are your customers that i'm getting can you sort of you know got it going to bring them here but farmer john i was just feel safe from the virus is the daily cup of warm which tea has a bitter taste but he reckons it's was it one which he says helped his grandmother

to survive spanish. let's talk about the story now with the bad guy he's the director of the max planck institute of color it's an interface and possum which is working on a study into the efficacy of wormwood and artemisinin that's a substance derived from it thank you for joining us here on 1st of all is there any evidence that this remedy is actually affective against a coronavirus. there is no official reports yet that can confirm that we began of working on that study in early march and the effect on the studies in cells that such as there are some interesting effects but it's too early to make a final judgment right now what are those affects how does this work in the body. of the exact mechanism is not known believed for days that it's not actually inhibiting replication of the growth of the virus it's more of

a sense often it will have much of a tory drug meeting about it changes the activity of your own system such that it reduces fevers or inflammation of the virus may cause your body and that makes some sense because in many. countries these types of groups have been used to treat fevers and figure all diseases such as one area starting from china but also go to south america. so these studies are still in the beginning phase we have seen some african leaders now praise wormwood as a potential therapy do you worry about that is that dangerous to make that kind of promise at this point i think it's difficult to make that a promise however i cannot speak to about what's said by the president but i've got a scar because we have not yet had our hands on the product of a using would be wonderful of us to see it more studies. before we have that it's really possible make any statements where i will say however ours also

interesting enough so we are getting ready right now for our will studies and we're also talking to 4 'd clinical centers to consider trials in humans in order to really assess what potential use of these herbs in humans and if it proves to be effective what do you think that would mean for countries like south africa. i think we want to fall because it would really mean that it would have whole grown medicine to treat it sort of ailments it should be a set of a plant as a basis for important or most important and some of their drug and that extracts them through substances have shown and also up quite a bit of promise in the treatment and positive of prevention of cancer so called it appears that the only thing this plan supposed to do it so it is extremely well researched it was areas of the can sort of courses but if it's very broadly used that maybe there would be ill effect on an area of the hope we would not lose the

effectiveness against malaria and just quickly said you're moving towards animal studies and you have any idea what the timeline would be until we have some sort of solid evidence behind this research. we have filed a request to be able to both of you hope that things are very fast right now that we can get approved in the next one of 2 weeks if that happens they'll take a vote i will read it before we can make a judgment to solve it among. these results and most also be really telling will be a good starting point to then decide to go into a human clinical trials pay to save book from the max planck institute of colleagues and interfaces in python thank you so much for joining us thank you now 8 years ago german authorities made an astonishing discovery a treasure trove of 1500 artworks by world famous painters suspected of having been looted from jews in nazi era germany the painstaking work trying to trace the
