good to know that 77 percent. are younger than 60 pot. cuts me and me and you. and you know what it's time no voice is part. of the 77 percent to talk about the issue. this is where you cut. the 77 percent this weekend on g.w. . britain suspends its extradition treaty and blocks arms sales to hong kong this in response to china's imposition of tough new national security laws on the territory of china accuses britain of brutal meddling in this affair as so as beijing quells descends and fights economic and diplomatic battles around the world tonight we ask has beijing painted itself into a corner i'm phil gayle in berlin and this is the day. yeah

it's a historical time for the u.k. regarding the china policy we have concerns about the treatment of the. minority obviously about the human rights abuses you point you have recently britain has been making remarks concerning hong kong. we have. about what's happening in hong kong and the government has decided to suspend the treaty remarried schools from the u.k. to hong kong potentially lethal weapons their components were ammunition would be urged not to go down this path. the united kingdom is watching and the whole world is watching. also on the day in lebanon on the price of bread and other essentials source of the country's currency drops off

a cliff what can save it from complete economic collapse. jordi of the youth here can't even find jobs they're torn they want to leave but we tell them don't leave stay here. and of britain suspending its extradition treaty with hong kong amid growing international condemnation of china's new national security law in the territory a controversial legislation punishes a broad range of offenses that beijing now confirm. siddhis subversion terrorism or collusion with foreign elements of british foreign secretary dominic rao told parliament the u.k. wanted a positive relationship with china but beijing had to live up to the international obligations and responsibilities that come with it stature so i consulted with the home secretary the justice secretary and the attorney general and the government has decided to suspend the extradition treaty immediately and. i should also

tell the house that we would not consider reactivating those arrangements unless and until there are clear and robust safeguards which are able to prevent extradition from the u.k. being misused under the new national security legislation. mr speaker there remains considerable uncertainty about the way in which the new national security law will be enforced i would just say this the united kingdom is watching and the whole world is watching. so that's the british foreign secretary dominic drop so let's go to britain for more on this my next guest is a senior fellow at the university of nottingham asia research institute is also author of the struggle for democracy in mainland china taiwan and hong kong shop power and its discontents undress folder welcome to the day well despite the angry rhetoric does china really care that britain no longer allows

expeditions to or from hong kong. well i think this kind of response by the british government was probably priced into this piece of legislation i don't think that this will have surprised. the leadership. but nevertheless i think they may have underestimated its kind of the public's response to. this so-called national security law we should not forget that here in the u.k. of course for historical reasons there are very strong and close ties with hong kong and so. you know that for the british government to simply accept that you know the common argue would an old 9084 sign appreciate joint declaration ride roughshod over the basic law like hong

kong constitution and you know basically terminate you know the one country 2 systems formula that was her highly unlikely ends or rather unsurprisingly the johnson administration has taken these steps ok well in spite of these these latest and i was with prime minister barak johnson has been at pains to try and reassure china that this is not personal there is a balance and i'm not going to be sort of pushed into a position of becoming a need jerk side of on every issue somebody who is automatically anti china but we do have serious concerns and just folder that china has never had a particularly glowing human rights record yet the last time the world economy fell over in 2008 the u.k. couldn't get enough of chinese money and investments it knowing beijing a 30 percent stake in the company building some of its nuclear reactors so why are things this time so different when they're going to any economic outlook is so much

worse. yeah it is actually quite intriguing in a way because of course under david cameron and george osborne they had kind of a shift in this so-called golden era of u.k. china relations but you know that you know golden era was rather short lived and this is in so far surprising because all also most analysts had assumed that you know post back said that the u.k. would you know try to call it beijing for a possible trade deal but now it only crop the foreign secretary has also made it very clear that they will not kind of sacrifice hong kong on the l.t.r. of such a trade deal so yes very surprising and also interesting developments to see that. now that the u.k. has left the e.u. . it is actually becoming a bit of a champion and the leader on

a much more assertive western china policy let's look at the what china is doing because the list of issues on which china is taking the world on is long and growing from its treatment of wigan muslims to its trade war with the united states as well way of course a contested areas of the south china sea and now hong kong so the question really comes into parts one does beijing have a strategy behind all this conflict and to do you think president jake bantams so much of a worldwide backlash. well i think in the past i think. the general secretary he thinking has been given way too much credit you know when i have spoken to my contacts in china often people who are you know integrated into the party state or even senior party officials they told me that he is not very well educated. he probably. is not being

informed in the way that a world or aspiring world leader needs to be informed that he probably doesn't get the kind of credible information about the real situation in hong kong for example and you know this kind of for example wolf warrior diplomacy has really alienated. a lot of diplomats and people around the world who suddenly think well you know that's not exactly the kind of flour responsible stakeholder that we hope that china will turn out to be and so yes what we can see now is almost like a kind of imperial overreach and it certainly doesn't. it will not benefit you know china as a nation and the chinese people you know to go down this route i suppose that to some extent. hong kong democracy protesters can claim this as

a victory the world appears not only to be listening but acting as well. well i think for example in the u.k. we've seen and the major change in not just the attitudes of politicians but even the public and it's a combination of various factors so was the cover up of coverage 19 of course then hong kong or you know the threat of huawei and also of course you know persecution of the weakness and kazakhstan and i think these kind of factors have created this perfect storm and which you know explain why we see this. shift from you know let's say by the eve china engagement to a much more of the china constrain and by the british governments and to talking to you thank you for joining us hundreds of folder from the university of nottingham research institute thanks for having me. well the extension of

china's national security law to hong kong easy especially concerning for the territory's pro-democracy activists one of those activists has fled to the british capital where he's been speaking with t.w. london correspondent. it's not all new in london the left hand. off hong kong his home which 2 weeks ago the new security law made it impossible for the activists to stay. on the. fear of being prosecuted by meeting law in central london the 27 year old brought this banner all the way from hong kong that could now get him arrested at home and a reminder of what he is fighting for freedom access and chinese the activist does

not want to disclose his exact location and plants because he's concerned for his safety we all know the child us reach could be very. close on the movie being. so i could protect myself. it was an umbrella that once made alongside thousands of. protesters for democracy in 2014 together with he founded the pro-democracy opposition party. and got elected to the defacto parliament has had to leave his life in hong kong behind. very painful decision but for me i think. is a strategy for the movement because we need someone to speak on the international freely . cannot speak on the ground so for me i would

love to bear that responsibility even though i need to have some personal. law came to london on a visit with one clear purpose he wants to be the strong voice for those still fighting the fight back in hong kong but who are now being silenced under the new security long. time for u.k. regarding the china policy. change in the past 6 months. i think. in the u.k. politics we have to be more assertive to china and i hope that my presence. could facilitate that change that we could hold china accountable in the future we have. power the movement and his fellow activists from abroad but the reality of not knowing if and when he can return to hong kong and the future. is just like. that

you don't know when it will end. a lot of responsibility on my shoulder. and i have to remind myself. i don't leave for myself but for the whole movement. it's a lonely path that has chosen but one where he believes he can be the most useful to. the world struggles to deal with world wide coronavirus health emergency more than 500 staff the largest hospital in the lebanese capital beirut for just been laid off just one of many consequences of the country's worst economic crisis since the civil war 30 years ago. lebanon's economy is on the verge of complete collapse the

local currency has lost more than 80 percent of its value on the black market food prices have skyrocketed leaving lebanese from all walks of life unable to put food on the table if the trend continues the government warns that 60 percent of the population could fall into poverty by the end of 2020 but this dire situation is anything but a surprise. lebanon is the 3rd most indebted country in the world by g.d.p. its economy has been in freefall for years. recently the government failed to make a $1200000000.00 payment for foreign bonds the 1st such default in lebanon's history. government mismanagement and corruption are rampant. over the years various lebanese governments have used the banking system to finance unsustainable spending critics say this put the money of ordinary lebanese citizens

in jeopardy and that they are now bearing the brunt of the country's financial meltdown. so what now. everyone agrees lebanon needs help fast. the government is negotiating in multibillion dollar bailout from the international monetary fund but concerns over stalled reforms are making it difficult. with hundreds of thousands of lebanese having lost their jobs since october help cannot come fast enough. law report was filed by d.w. reporter abraham who joins me now welcome you paint a grim picture of economies reforms ah so badly needed while i'm happy. there are various reasons for this i mean lebanon's successive lebanese governments have been characterized with endemic corruption and over bloated public

public service a system that has despite its huge costs failed at supplying lebanese with basic day to day services like garbage collection and even 247 electricity if you go to lebanon you will most likely have 2 different electricity bills one bill that you would pay to the government electricity company and another $1.00 that you would pay to a private generator that you would have to subscribe into just to ensure that you have you know something like 24 hour power 24 hour 24 hours a day and that's just one example. and the reason why government is so corrupt is not in lebanon is not necessarily because of one party of one group critics say that this has to do with the very nature of lebanon's political system lebanon has

by all means a democracy people go vote but it's a sectarian democracy which means that there are specific quotas in government and in parliament put there to make sure that the country's many diverse religious groups are represented and have a voice in government and this has reasons historical reasons lebannon the most recent one is you know that the end of the civil war it was seen as a way to ensure that there is harmony and coexistence in the country but it has instead created a kind of feudal way of doing politics where different religious leaders are taking care of their own groups rather than the entire country and that's a big reason why it's so difficult so it's very very in trying to so we have all of vast and then you review put a coronavirus pandemic on the top of all of that what sort of effect says that had . i mean it was kind of like the straw that broke the camel's back the coronavirus and that the recent cuts that we've seen at the american university medical center

are perhaps the biggest indication i mean this is one of the country's most prominent hospitals and at the forefront of the nation's response to the virus but lebanon's economic problems and these kind of structural problems far predate the coronavirus in october of 2019 there was a massive popular uprising against the government which actually managed to overthrow the previous government the government of former prime minister sided heavy and this was triggered by a proposed tax that the government wanted to impose on what's a free service in an attempt to against scramble to save the economy or try to find more sources for spending so it's definitely made things worse but i would say that the structural problems for predate this current crisis could talking to the thank you that's very clear that we reported to him anytime.

to turn a virus has not killed more than 140000 people in the united states and the national caseload it's still rising sharply with growing public anger over a perceived lack of leadership or indeed a national strategy to tackle the crisis in this poll reports from arizona. for amanda and gina the grandfather who see it was like a father to them he taught them everything help them become who they are and dido the corona virus one of so many in arizona it was horrible to leave him alone and him knowing we had to leave him alone like what was he going through at that time knowing that he couldn't have his loved ones there to support him his facing everything pretty much alone and there's nothing we could do about it. i don't know it's. very heartbreaking. a situation l. ast to has become all too familiar with even after 38 years in the funeral business

the corona pandemic nothing is as it used to be. with these families so many of them haven't been able to be with their loved one at the time of death put into a hospital where they can't visit or into a nursing home where they can no longer seem so many people are dying alone and that emotionally is challenging for families just to know that they can't be there and they can't you know be supportive and so are our challenge our job is to help them kind of deal with that and start to help them heal and grieve and that's that's what we do. more than 2500 people have already died in arizona leaving many hospitals overwhelmed with the sick and the dead. when we get a death call the hospital will say can you come quickly because we're our capacity capacity we don't have anywhere to put these people they're trying to get to these mobile units but they actually are so when we go now to a hospital transfer or someone in our care they have to actually have to look and

see where the body is is it in the hospital facility or is it out in the mobile facility. it's been a little over a week since they've buried their grandfather amanda and gina still need time to come to terms with their loss but they already have strong feelings about who is to blame they could have handled a lot better i feel they knew about this and they didn't i understand the world panic mode but at the same time like what's going on. to them knowing and not doing anything about it and i really do think they could have did a lot more to help a lot of people and people are still getting sick people are still going to the hospital people are still dying and i don't understand why. i just don't and i don't think it's fair to any of us. their feelings are shared by many mourners in america that the lack of leadership from the white house is just as dangerous as the virus itself. the

and. it is a. truth that in democracies there have been many successful assassinations which of change the cause of the world in a tragic way against dictators assassinations of almost never succeeded but these resistance fighters resolve that they must make the attempt whatever the cost. germany's defense minister stressed that the example of the plotters continues to inspire the country's military. we didn't even try we will empower peace freedom and humaneness around the wild we were new this is a promise here now in commemoration of the men and women of the 20th of july 944 and if. this were. to underline that tradition the 20th of july is no a date when german army recruits swear their oath of allegiance to serve their country but also to put their conscience above mirah b.d.'s towards.
