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 fearing for their civil liberties. as the one who have been arrested for crimes by hochul police and they are 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 or if there was i mean it's other shows and as it is shenzhen want to show all beijing which would be really terrible and like there is no difference just off hong kong and china united she 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 no. protest is absent from the streets recently due to coronavirus fees returned this week 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 alaca 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. from the battles mine institute in

byrne and welcome to the w. the national people's congress passed this law even though it's specifics are not clear why is beijing being surveyed i think ageing is being made in our legal not in its own legal stance we'll think no that there's a lot sending is that the rule of law in our western sense is actually not relevant anymore when it comes to protests or demonstrations or anything that congress party will see as a challenge to its authority and the 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 the treatment that protesters get in the mail and that is very hard. today

britain canada australia the 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 i mean to have a very very hard time because the hong kong or really shows that it is not longer 100 feet 2 systems it's a chinese system whenever you deal with china right so moving slightly lighter hearted kong i think there is fear that this decision over the territory actually 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 maybe seeking an opportunity to solve that high one issue has this year it was very remarkable that you're in the m.p.c.

. traditional wording of seeking peaceful unification with i want was changed to be ceding unification not all that taiwan and that is again a signal that these are taking very seriously and is not legal incidental but is very very well for healing to bring back taiwan enjoy it embrace the motherland as . well i thank you for that analysis very interesting batch from the battles man institute. now let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world you saw in bangladesh ruffling in the aftermath of psycho known pond as devastated tens of thousands of homes the death toll there and in neighboring india has exceeded 100 estimates suggest at least 100000 people are stranded near their homes with no us to go and without food or clean water. pressure is mounting on u.k.

the man has called for criminal charges to be filed against the officer who arrested mr floyd. minneapolis is a city on fire and outpouring of rage over the death of a black man at the hands of police this auto parts store is one of several businesses in the city that was set ablaze by angry protest is. elsewhere there was vandalism looting and clashes between demonstrators and riot police. in the minneapolis police department has praised its offices for showing restraint in their response. you know our officers. did not 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 sparked 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 you. know. 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 don 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.

of course will be upon you know just. as he is 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 fear already in the u.s. of a police treatment of black americans. lose washington bureau chief alexandra who's following this story welcome alexandra 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 answer of these are going to respond to new

protests that are to be expected in minneapolis and 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 a man was killed by police according to the 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 police hands in the u.s. but what has been unusual in this case is all sorts is taking such decisive early

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 deaths 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. and its investigated the justice department is promising a robust investigation so the sort of 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 for the authorities to start investigations there and i think in this case it's just due to this disturbing video that showed what happened in this case.
