china imposed a new security law many people in hong kong see it special status and democratic governance undermined. it's becoming ever more dangerous to protest. partly for years now everyone has joined fellow members of his party on the 1st of july to mark hong kong's handover to chinese fruit but everything changed last week it isn't uncommon for such areas more peaceful protests to have 100 plus police to search it doesn't office by cast this will be the new law you may never see the picture of me then paul is on the street ok not because we are content and not because. we are now happy with the company it's because now we have to operate now very very publicly how was it was. the this was the 1st protest
3:21 pm
seems to new security law was put in place was to see offenders go to prison for life for suppression. several parties have now decided to disband some leading activist have fled but everything and his party are not about to follow suit. because if for a political party to bow down now what's it to say for to the rest of hong kong psychologically. i'm also 1st compared to go to prison for long haul and we're not going to trade what we have to do for you but depends on the. suppression we're going to freeze if there will be a short term mortification and transformation of activism in hong kong there's no doubt beijing in sister law a fact only a minority of lawbreakers critics like the vertical activism is under threat and that's just the 1st step nina now works for an ngo based in hong kong for decades
3:22 pm
it has been advocating for labor rights across asia hochul has been a popular hub for thousands of local and international n.g.o.s but a new law means many are now we considering their options there is a lot of ambiguity in that when all was do you mean by somehow may be called where foreign forces because we heard from overseas under this law we wise i'm sure like how it will impact even the safety or indeed or wallace to rights for us to if we continue to receive foreign funding we have to somehow people here their worst scenario then we may also consider to move to. other countries. beijing has played down the last impact saying he nearly plans to strengthen the management of n.g.o.s and are all the nice asians in hong kong. even though is

there a clear how the security law will be implemented activist and efficacious here will have to be where they face a rocky road. brazil has had the 2nd highest number of reported poor of i was cases of. the president himself has tested positive but the true number of infections is probably much higher. nothing is the same since the pandemic at rio de janeiro's 5 fellahs adults are out of work children are home from school and cramped unhygenic living conditions greatly increase the risk of infection. i'm scared my children will catch the virus we don't always have running water most of the time we have to haul it from far away and the children don't have any space to play. experts estimate the number of unreported infections in the favelas to be extremely
3:24 pm
high that's why local residents have started counting the cases themselves. many of those who died from coronavirus and our fellows didn't show up in the health authority statistics we know several examples in our circle of friends. with the help of local residents volunteers are creating a log of cases in the bore real neighborhood. they use whatsapp to collect data on the latest infections not registered by local authorities. this state has been completely absent here ever since the fellows were built in rio we always have to reinvent ourselves and find new ways to survive given the exact number of corona infections in brazil is not known too little testing is being carried out leandra nevus had typical covert 900 symptoms but was never tested. i left our neighborhood so i wouldn't infect anyone. so i slept on the beach at infineon my
3:25 pm
for a week and a half and thought about my neighbors the whole time it's social status in brazil that appears to dictate whether someone is officially infected or not the real numbers tell a very different story. as the coronavirus spread in germany romanians and roma living here say they were subjected to ever more hostility and prejudice. they're tired of being bullied. moana has been a social worker in berlin for 8 years her main responsibility is caring for romanian families many of them roma the fact that none of those mother tongue is romanian helps a lot she says the discrimination against roma is not new but now exclusion and accusations are rising amid the pandemic in the height media his minority group that i work with is the roma. it's
3:26 pm
a fact that they're an object of discrimination. most people don't like to see them around here and also in my country romania. now in these times of crisis when everyone is scared and under a lot of pressure you know people are looking for a scapegoat more than ever. these are employees and that it's not. we meet a man we'll call vasili a roma from the village of fontanella he's been in germany for 5 years and now for the 1st time he's found a decent job he has a pseudonym so he won't risk jeopardizing his job. whole daughter yes i experienced discrimination and yes since corona it has gotten worse that's the way it is at work but also when i go shopping for example at the supermarket i'm treated worse than others all along. in this berlin district several blocks of apartment buildings where mainly roma live together in cramped quarters
3:27 pm
were sealed off and quarantined for 2 weeks a total of more than $100.00 people across 7 houses here tested positive neighbors think it was a wise decision to quarantine the entire area isn't there out until 10 at night i don't know if that's allowed i thought they had a curfew. over talk to them the whole all scrunched. the roma feel that others treat them with suspicion and some say it is racist. mums who to shoot the people look for a guilty party and that we can't defend themselves they wouldn't dare blame other groups imagine how the jews are turks would react if they were treated like this they have a strong lobby the politicians wouldn't dare say things like this about them in public. accusations prejudices and justifications. social worker more of interior thinks that especially during the
3:28 pm
pandemic it is important to find peaceful solutions. it's about getting to know each other better and these families need support from me but when you are new and a metropolis and you come from a poor background and didn't get the best education you just need some help. there are some great social projects in berlin i'm satisfied but we need even want. to free them and ma'am ma'am ma'am. according to human rights organizations like amnesty international it is clear who is most affected by the coronavirus restrictions in european countries it's the minorities who suffer most.
