202250th anniversary year on. this is live from china has tightened its grip on hong kong. but pro-democracy activists protest. and the one system's framework coming up. the leaders of germany and france agree.

on just how to win skeptics over to their. rescue package plus. a vision seeks to raise $10000000000.00 in aid we look at the plight of. as the economy is on the verge of collapse. and visit a city in thailand that's being televised by monkeys with no tourists to feed them because of the pandemic gangs of the hungry animals roaming the streets in search of cool. welcome to the program china's national people's congress has passed a controversial. that critics fear will give beijing more control over the semi autonomous state of some people in hong kong the support of the new law democracy

activists opposed critics say the motor streets freedoms and is at odds with the one country 2 systems policy agreed by china when it took control of the. former british colony in 1970 britain has pulled a new law which comes into force digitally of the stamp but hong kong's chief executive so the law would only target a small criminal minority she added this for those foreign governments or politicians raising objections to the legislation one could only lament the double standards they are adopting all those countries which have pointed their fingers at china have their own national security legislation in place we could think of no valid reason why china alone should be inhibited from enacting national security legislation to protect every corner of his territory and or obvious nationals i urge the international community to respect a country's right to safeguard national security and hong kong people's aspirations

for stability and harmony thank joining me now is due to yes and she's japanese and of the german parliament rights committee and is from the opposition party there's your answer you've called for the next e.u. china summit to be cancelled over this latest security law why exactly hello and good afternoon we we urge that this summit have to not only be postponed as chancellor merkel just did for corona reasons but cancel it for national security law passing read it reasons it is not about cancelling our dialogue it is about the fact that beijing and communist party is breaking rules is breaking international law and there need to be consequences and these propaganda spectaculars summits are not the answer and should not be. should not be played along by europe and germany but foreign minister heikal mass

does not favor your proposal is he therefore making a mistake. in my opinion in the opinion of the liberal party and the track he is making a grave mistake because germany has so far been very silent when it comes to the reactions of the passing of the national security law and that needs to change not only because we are chairing the e.u. chairmanship that is coming up tomorrow but because beijing needs to understand that europe and germany are paying attention and not playing along as beijing is trying to get us but how committed is germany very early to ensuring china out of specs human rights and democratic values in hong kong given the huge business interests that germany has china well to be honest i think it is not a one way street it is not only about the ties the economic ties to china and china

has also dependent on germany and europe and i think we should be more. more sustainable when it comes to dealing with china is not about just about economic freedom economic and social freedom are always going together and that's what i want from chancellor merkel to stress in the upcoming meeting in specifics what do you want joe many to be doing when it comes to giving a message to china but germany wants china to respect human rights. 1st of all we need chancellor merkel to condemn the passing of the national security law 2nd we need directly individual sanctions for human rights violations and these k.p. officials that are directly linked to the passing and the further ongoing national security law and the measures in hong kong and the 3rd thing that is very important in our opinion is supporting our support from the international community and from

germany to why its people such as joshua who are just whose has just withdrawn his engagement in demo systems party because i think they are in need of support more than ever and we need to show that support. this is yet to respond about this a number of times in the past particularly in relation to german business interest in changing and the oppression of the weaker is there is there a very an appetite in the german government to come down hard and i know i think this appetite is lacking at the moment but more than ever we as the opposition not urging the government to refocus the strategic approach to china to say it with the words after was that perella of the e.u. he said we need a more robust answer to china and that's what we are calling gideon's in charge of the human rights committee the german blunder star thank you so much for speaking

to us thank you. and now to some of the latest developments in the corona virus pandemic around the world the wild health organization says it's sending a team to china next week you know an effort to search for the origin of the virus the doublets olds are warned the pandemic was caught speeding up a case in the australian state of victoria has prompted officials to order a month long lockdown for parts of melbourne the measures affect hundreds of thousands of residents of the country's 2nd largest city the structures are also being tightened in the british city of leicester where new infections accounted for 10 percent of all cases in england last week businesses will be closed from today and schools will follow suit next week and in the u.s. the states of california and texas both so record spikes in new coven 1000 new infections on monday. the future of europe after the pandemic that was the main topic as german chancellor angela merkel and french president. it was their 1st face to face meeting since the pandemic back in march

the 2 leaders were eager to show that they were united on a multi 1000000000 euro plan they say is crucial to get him seen the future. the greeting was distanced because of coronavirus but nonetheless it is not by chance that the man who is the 1st foreign leader to meet with chancellor merkel since the virus crisis began the pair spearheading a 500000000000 euro proposal for rebuilding europe's economy off to the pandemic these are 2 leaders who want to work together and be the driving force for europe. going on that we understand that europe is not united merely because germany and france agree but when germany and france disagree it does not look so good for unity in europe so perhaps we can find agreement on many questions and make a contribution and give a positive impulse to new things in the right direction for europe's future.

there's germany prepares to take over the presidency of the e.u. on the 1st of july mankell is more central than ever to the future of the block the french president for his part wants to be seen to be injecting his own energy and ideas into the tandem he brought with him from paris a proposal for a new environmental levy and he spoke of how european values have prevailed during the pandemic. across europe there has been an open and transparent debate from the start i think our citizens should be aware of what that means in many other parts of the world some more severely affected by the virus than us is systems of both individuals and companies has not been as massive far from it and in many places the epidemic has been synonymous with the suspension of democratic life but not here in europe mccarthy.

back home has been weakened by his party's poor results in local elections on sunday mancos handling of kobe has boosted her support even though the plan to transfer funds to struggling countries in southern europe is a huge huge turn which not all in a party back but as they try to convince some reluctant e.u. members that they have the right recipe for recovery france and germany want to make sure they're pointing in the same direction now to some of the other stories making the news this china since have been closely watched the development of a new fuel that has become more infectious to humans according to chinese researchers the new strain originated in pigs and has all the hallmarks of a pandemic virus although it is of no imminent threat to. israel us president nicolas maduro has ordered the european union's ambassador to leave the country it comes after brussels slapped sanctions on several officials

loyal to the president more than 50 countries including much of the e.u. recognized opposition leader. as venezuela's president. the deaths of a father and son from alleged torture by police in india have sparked protests and outrage across the country the 2 men were arrested for keeping their store open last permitted hours in the southern state of time another 2 policemen have been suspended in the case. the united nations is holding a donors conference to raise $10000000000.00 in aid for syria it's become an annual event since the civil war there began 9 years ago the european union is hosting the video conference but 60 months and n.g.o.s training in more than 5 and a half 1000000 syrians have fled the country since the conflict began the vast majority of them have been taken in by neighboring countries especially jordan. living in camps in the border regions very situation has been made worse by the

coronavirus spend. for more i'm joined by dominic representative of the un the un refugee agency in amman jordan mr potts how dire is the situation for syrian refugees in jordan is especially during these times in the times of pandemic syrian refugees in jordan have already been hovering around the poverty line as it were. the vast majority of them incidentally have found protection in the urban areas in amman only 20 percent of syrian refugees are accommodated in the large refugee camps and in the urban areas they worry about who would live on their own and have an income to work mostly in the informal sector now much of that has been severely disrupted by the outbreak of the kumara crisis and the movement restrictions that came with the containment effort so why be extremely grateful

that there have been no peace in the most the refugee population in jordan the economic impact has been disastrous we know of at least 2 thirds of the refugee population in urban areas who've lost their life you so bunch of beauties have shot up and be very concerned about making sure that refugees and address their basic needs in terms of addressing these basic needs i'm imagining the donor conference becomes vitally important to optimistic are you at all this money will be raised. we are reasonably optimistic because you see the reason there is that basic premise for the internationals to wants large refugee hosting countries around syria and let us not forget that these countries he levanon jordan and iraq and egypt are less extend they all have opened their doors to give protection to refugees fleeing

from syria and clearly there has to be a continued support and he says steyn support from the international community to support these countries because we have made great strides in assisting those refugees and in giving them perspective to quote but one example jordan has graciously agreed already years back to offer double shift school classes which allows refugee children to attend school side by side with 13 ian children now this is a great gesture towards refugees but of course it also puts a strain on the national education system and this is where the continued support from the international community is so important do you think the international community is actually committed in make a supporting these efforts and you're an imminent. oh restrung a belief sore because it is clear if you look at how refugee it worked where they are which countries exist more than 80 percent close to 90 percent of the words

refugee population is living in the countries surrounding the countries of origin so the vast majority of saif point 8000000 syrian refugees live in the neighboring countries and they do so not because they are in search of better opportunities but because they hope that one fine day they will be in a position to go back home and clearly it is in the interest of the international community to continue to support these efforts by the big refugee allston countries dominic barred from the un refugee agency thank you for speaking with us thank you but the situation for syrians who have stayed at home is not much better than back for refugees in fact as the economy to turn on the verge of collapse it's getting worse our next report looks at the plight of one family in the capital damascus not a.o.l. her mother and his wife martha are off to the butchers in damascus every arriving

for these days away works in a factory producing machines and tools for industry here and for good wage but soaring inflation means it's barely enough to survive on the how to start. a kilo of cost a 3rd of my monthly salary that means we can no longer buy or buy the killer. instead we buy $200.00 or 300 grams at a time has become a luxury yacht that's no longer one of the basics. today luxury is on the menu 300 grams of it i mean that's it for the month for many syrians the sanctions and the pandemic feel of economic crisis make a trip to the cash machine and not me. the syrian pound has lost 80 percent of its value imported goods which have to be paid for in dollars around affordable the financial strain means the country will have to rely extensively on international

aid to rebuild itself. parts of syria's cities have suffered almost apocalyptic levels of destruction. and even in those areas physically unscathed by the war like the center of damascus local businesses are struggling to survive. syria's tourist sector has suffered in recent years. this hotel manager says this place used to be a popular choice for visitors. on from back in the good old days people from all over the world came to stay in this very hotel the french tourists russians americans japanese chinese iranians. we. see me you know me. the pandemic is having an effect on jobs too many are now at risk. even those with relatively secure employment like low i for

example say they are worried the high inflation is eating up their savings and by then all this. my fear is that i won't be able to feed my children. i'm looking for a 2nd job to try and get us through these tough times was a little far but the economic sanction its main absorbs are hard to come by my. war and sanctions are leading syria into economic disaster to turn the hope is i'd from abroad. who's to blame for the downfall of. its no one week since the german fin tech superstar announced that almost 2000000000 euros were missing from the company's books investigators are looking into possible fraud and politicians wonder if oversight was tonights now regulators

are debating how to strengthen controls to avoid similar cases. when german fin tech wire cart filed for insolvency last week many outside the financial center since the world shrugged their shoulders after all the company once a shooting star that made it right into germany's plute ship dax index was all but unknown to them consumers would likely not know whether or not they had any business with wire card but millions of customers of banking apps like curved pocket or on a money fund the assets frozen and banking cards not working meanwhile master card and visa half want clients that they could find themselves locked out of payment networks to. a scandal like this one must be a wake up call that we need more supervision and control of the financial markets than we have today among the institutions tast was supervising financial firms

driven regulator buff and as well as the european central bank according to reuters regulators fail to classify why a card is a financial holding and hold it to higher standards. for more on the fin tech industry and how to regulate this business i'm joined by so this is jacqueline as he's the chairman of the fin tech working group at the european parliament mr welcome starting with why. do you think of him to do the job. well it seems so based on the reports because the reports were coming for the number of years especially from the financial times but that's not the only the supervision i think of the audit as external audit is. failing to apparently on the they were basing their findings on the internal audit so there were several links probably that they have a way of failing but we're talking about supervision and supervision has to be improved of course not only germany because germany probably was the last country which would have the scandal but throw through european union so there are there

are lessons to bill and there are improvements to be made for sure so what needs to be done then to better regulate this business and driven future this is the one. well finances in general is very very risky business be it bang be it investment or hedge funds or whatever you take very interlinked in each other and their global jewel saw these complexities have to be understood well on this into linkages have to be understood in order to better regulate the european level we need to merge the 4 models which exist now apparently in the european union for models or supervision these are creating huge gaps in supervising these companies and these are very innovative companies they went around the use the difference of provision and regulatory systems to gain their profit so the european system of the financial supervision the has to be adjusted based on the model of britain great britain and

fortunately they left the european union some other countries have so-called twin peaks model where productions of what was in this get it out by one branch and the business conduct and also the consequence you know protection supervision is carried by the another branch so this is the model that the european commission and some global institutions advocate i think we have to move that direction what about the ordinary customers i mean how can customers be protected from fraudulent after all they usually don't even know what companies are involved in the transactions. yeah that's the problem that's why we need this business conduct supervision where the services how they advertise how they are marketed how they are constructed the products and this is quite a special skills that it's not only this supervisors who have you know lawyers legal people who have economists finance the consumer protection people have to

know how the mind works i like the phrase that the chevelle uses make for their mind so to understand how their mind works that takes a different set of skills and therefore the fin to companies they're very active on the many levels of innovation and this innovation has to balance with improved supervision and also especially on the consumer protection side but presently how does that you compared to dominant tech economies like the u.s. for instance when it comes to financial services. well it's a phrase that we're lagging behind the google's they have facebook sound whenever they merge with a financial services or google payment is already there and you know facebook is experimenting with the libra project of course we're lagging behind but i don't know if it's for better or for worse because when the big merges with the think they're going to finance it especially that creates another set of risks yes we

have to have an alternative but one of the alternatives which will investigate in the fin to quicken group is the central bank digital currency projects which could be a payment provider for the not only company little also for the for the residence for for the consumers so that's they'll that if we're looking in but this is a safe alternative not for something like crypto assets i wouldn't hold them cryptocurrency is even but the crypto assets they are crypto token so this is not going to default the payment services that are coming from that of the united states and other places still learn instead of the fringe group in the european parliament thank you thank you the residents of a city in thailand have their hands full with gangs of hungry monkeys tourists are staying away because of the pandemics of the banana as they used to the monkeys are no longer fed that's forced the monkeys on to the streets desperately looking for something to eat and that means be trouble. at 1st glance these could almost be

scenes from a zoo fearless primates ruled the town center of rock but really in central thailand the city is famous for its ancient temple ruins and for its population of around 2 and a half 1000 mechanics for years city residents have had a love hate relationship with their long tailed neighbors the monkeys attract tourists but they're also prone to create mayhem since the pandemic business is almost completely dried up for those selling monkey food to tourists. we're now seeing the impact of 19 for months everything here was shut down now visitors are slowly starting to return but they don't buy much the monkeys are really hungry. locals say the situation has never been so bad. i can't look away for a 2nd if i'm not sitting here to take care of the shop they come in open the fridge

take drinks and steal snacks from us is really difficult living with the monkeys. i got bitten by a monkey jumped on my head and bit me i had to get some shots afterwards everyone living around here must have been. big or small wounds everyone. these escalating clashes have now caused wildlife officials to step in over the last few days they've captured hundreds of monkeys on the streets of la brea to have them sterilized by state veterinarians. first the animals need to be sedated. once they're unconscious they're shaved and given a tattoo to indicate they've been neutered. then they have to go under the knife the plan is to sterilize $500.00 of the mechanics by august and also they might have had a good if the monkey population were to increase even more rapidly the more animals

we have the greater the number of. people have with them i don't want to see the monkeys getting hurt and those conflicts and so what we're doing here is about protecting them as well as protecting people's property. past. the day after their procedure the monkeys are released back into the city after old lot but really would not be the same without its monkey business. you're watching to dump the news there's more news and updates on deductible dot com our web site i'm going to energy of 0 for the.
