until gail welcome to the program china's national people's congress has overwhelmingly passed a plan giving beijing the power to impose new restrictions on public protest in hong kong pro-democracy advocates say the north violates the freedoms of hong kong special one country 2 systems status in a joint statement the united kingdom the united states australia and canada said the new legislation would curtail people's liberties and dramatically erode the chinese territories autonomy. disorder in the hong kong legislative council a democratic lawmakers struggled to get past security guards with a bag he said it contained a russian plant symbolizing what he said was the decay of hong kong's rule of law.

and way of life china's latest move against disobedience is imposing national security laws on hong kong the national people's congress approved plans to move forward with laws against things china sees as a threat to its authority over hong kong the law would allow mainland security agencies to operate openly in hong kong pro-democracy activists now feeling for their civil liberties. as the one who have been arrested for pies by hochul police and they were jailed for for good times in the shadow of hong kong i've never imagined to be arrested by secret police is appointed by beijing all in a future i need to study shows and as it is shown gen want to show all beijing which would be really terrible and like that's no differences of hong kong and china are young i'm sure the chinese premier said the new law would work for the long term benefit of hong kong's prosperity and stability 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. the central government has also acted in strict accordance with the constitution and the basic law. and supported the chief executive and the hong kong government in line with the law. protest is absent from the streets recently due to coronavirus fees returned this wake the police reacted with hundreds of arrests more than 360 on wednesday. disorder on the streets matched by disorder in hong kong's legislature neither are actually to be reduced by china's latest law which could be implemented within a few months. let's take a closer look at this with senior china analyst botch from the battles money

institute in berlin welcome to the w. the national people's congress passed this law even though it's specific and not clear why is beijing being surveyed i think ageing is being made in our legal not in its own legal it's a real thing you know there is a lot sending is that the rule of law you know sense is actually not relevant anymore when it comes to protests or demonstrations or anything that a communist party will see as a challenge to its authority and their new law and the signal is really crystal clear if you protest against a communist party government or their own government and you are all treatment that does get in the mail and that is very dire. today britain canada

australia united states issued a statement condemning this move do you think they're likely to follow up their words with action. the army country that really has the potential for real action short term in terms of sanctions also one is the u.s. and of course the u.s. and china are already engaged in a huge rivalry and conflict call it trade or technology war whatever all smaller countries including here in germany we don't really have the means to sanction china in any meaningful way i think the really important effect this is having here though is that all those circles that are supporting more engagement with china and supporting the argument that you can trust the

chinese government that you can trust chinese companies that you can trust the surance of these circle these lobby groups a little to have a very very hard time because hong kong or really shows that it is not longer 100 feet 2 systems it's the chinese system whenever you deal with china right so moving slightly nicer harkonnen i think there is fear that this decision over the territory match will be a warmup for beijing making a move on taiwan what do you think i think that's a very serious threat at the moment they have been consistent signals over the last couple of months that. beijing is really looking at the taiwan issue in united and maybe seeking an opportunity to solve the taiwan issue has this year it was very remarkable that you're in the m.p.c.

. the traditional wording of seeking peaceful unification with taiwan was changed to be seeking unity acacia not peaceful but taiwan and that is again is no use or taking very seriously and is not legal incidentally but this is very very well what he's going to bring back taiwan into it embrace the motherland. well i thank you for that analysis very interesting batch from the bettles money institute. all right let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world are flooding in bangladesh and the aftermath of. that devastated tens of thousands of homes the death toll that neighboring india has exceeded 100 estimates suggest at least 100000 people are stranded in their homes with nowhere to go without food or clean water. locked down restrictions in the u.k.

businesses in the city that was set ablaze by angry protest is. elsewhere there was vandalism looting and clashes between demonstrators and riot police. at the minneapolis police department has praised its offices for showing restraint in their response. you know our officers. did now i do not integra nice people you know our officers were there they were present and reactionary and i will tell you that. it's amazing the amount of restraint. by. all of law enforcement out there america but it's the police's response in this incident that sparks of the protests in this video taken by a bystander a 46 year old george floyd is heard gasping for breath and peed in with

a policeman who has his knee on his neck. was the officer derrick children kept his knee on floyd's nick for several minutes even after he stopped speaking and moving floyd was pronounced dead at a hospital 90 minutes off to this encounter the lawyer representing his family says he was a victim of racism freud had been arrested on suspicion that he'd used a counterfeit 20 done a note at a nearby store. that was the allegation that he were. trying to. commit some kind of forgery which is worse a. crime. the police. you. will be a power hero just. all floridians have said and the autopsy will be performed

to determine if the neck compression to his stiff the mayor of minneapolis has called for criminal charges against the officer who pinned down and the other police officers will with him at the scene have all been fired but that's not quelled the anger in state george floyd stance has sparked a fresh fury in the u.s. of a police treatment of black americans. let's join didn't lose washington bureau chief alexander of them who's following this story welcome alexandra a race is often an issue in the u.s. even when it's not a problem how much is this case likely to further strain race relations. well i think it will depend on how the sort of these are going to respond to new protests that are to be expected in minneapolis and in over parts of the country we also have to say that this case definitely has park a new discussion about racial disparities in the u.s.

as it's not the 1st time that a black man was killed by police according to their washington post facto data base 1000 people have been shot and killed by the police in the last year and black americans are killed by the police at the disproportional disproportional rate so this is a very important topic and as i said it's just depends on what are we going to see tonight in minneapolis and how the authorities and specially of course the police are going to respond to those protesters as you say not unusual for black people to be killed at police hands in the u.s. but what has been unusual in this case is all sorts is taking such decisive action against the officers involved. yeah that's right phil what we so we actually don't see normally in such cases the officers involved in this in george floyd's death were fired almost immediately not only his parents but also

the city's mayor are calling for this incident to be investigated as murder we have to further all of these who are involved in this case the f.b.i. is investigated the justice department is promising a robust investigation so the authorities did respond in a very quick way and it's very unusual i need to say we had an incident a fatal shooting of a black man just 2 months ago in georgia and into 2 months of for the authorities to start investigations there and i think in this case it's just due to this disturbing video that showed what happens in this case. and it's wonderful norman in washington let's take a look now some develop some more developments in the coverage 19 pandemic the
