security law was put in place was to see offenders go to prison for life was a freshman. several parties have now decided to disband some leading activists have fled but everything and his party are not about to follow suit. because if for political party to bow down now. to safety or to the rest of hong kong psychologically. well most of. the pair go to prison for a long time we are not going to change what we have been doing for years but it depends on the. suppression that we are going to face in the future there will be a certain. mortification and transformation off activists i mean hong kong there's no doubt. beijing sister in law a fact only a minority of law breakers critics say political activism is under threat and that's just the 1st step memo now works for an ngo based in hong kong for decades

the security law will be implemented activists and africans here will have to be where the face a rocky road where. brazil has had the 2nd highest number of reported political risk 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 killed rio de janeiro's 5 fellows 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. today.
1:24 pm
experts estimate the number of unreported infections in the favelas to be extremely high that's why local residents have started counting the cases themselves. many of those who died from corona virus and our fellows didn't show up in the health authorities 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 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. the exact number of corunna 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. i slept on the beach at infinity my for a week and

that i work with is the roma. this is why it's a fact that they are 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 officially began. we meet a man we'll call vasili a roma from the village of fun to me. 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 a 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 local long. in this berlin district several blocks of apartment buildings were mainly roma live

together in cramped quarters 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 and they're out until 10 at night i don't know if that's allowed i thought they had a curfew. over to us to be on all scrunched. the roma feel that others treat them with suspicion and some say it is racist. most of the people look for a guilty party and the weak can't defend themselves they wouldn't dare blame other groups imagine how the jews or 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 and public. accusations prejudices and justifications social worker more of interior thinks that especially during the
