aren't buying it they accused the government of using the outbreak as a pretext to thwart the pro democracy movement let's take a listen now to what executive lamb and what she exactly said at that news conference we are going to invoke emergency regulations very much older nursery in . a factory to be laid off screen elections and certainty of course the main content off a rule rendition bill or narrative structure for just a few from b. to a greater unknown finally we have the support of the country because government in making this decision ok the chief executive there speaking earlier today now for pro-democracy activists hong kong's political crisis is an existential crisis let's get you the reaction now from one pro-democracy legislator mr cockey kwok a member of the civic party a political party that was disqualified incidentally on july 30th for taking part in the now the spawn election a very good day mr kwok 1st of all let's get your reaction to today's decision

please oh we were right i think the whole people incentives actually looking for is less well you know when you look at what changes in the composition of the city council all the ones we have lost all my you know the amendments should be should be used and then secondly i'm not sure if it becomes full actually really much on the democratic you believe home. we have some trouble and we should see in final effects of this year to see this cause. if you or all together i think the message is going to be someone else if you want to commend. the outcome of the let's make sure that some kind of expected outcome of the u.s. will keep. on this year the next year so the message to most of the people

on set your heart or. may not even want to be ladylike to make sure that they can have someone you know i don't reach the new collation. law to make sure that you know that composes up the next city so the b.c.m. of any of the s.c. . mr clark you were riding the whole pro-democracy movement was riding on a wave of discontent is this decision taking the wind out of the a pro-democracy movement sails. yes thanks sandy you know after the trauma of all that although when you see you know a lot of young people has beaten chickens you caught it into pieces a lot of people in syria happy about the situation and of course they already are happy about the composition of the lexer city council now it's we never had the

most but yes people see one to try to get the most of the lot that had to be under this city so you know this is a result of it coming next but 2 are disappointed all 'd those who would not be successful and we need to wait one more year we do not know you know what would happen in this city and what people ate me like myself it's all of my own even some of the people in. cos maybe to get. caught again as a thief and not know but a lot to be had in this so-called or on the message and the impression of it on set i mean the government won't sue you not let us see the poor outcome of the election perhaps in the coming so they try to buy time hoping that a song

a rich friend might actually do you know have some so-called does something amazing then to come in america hong kong won't there you 100 houses people who are not only reciting mean then who come home oh no look we don't know what happened there in front of the lexus in home all week by people who live you know usually getting home to be able to do what is very right so that he will i didn't mean to come and secondly mr clark i'm just going to jump in there because i am firstly i only have a very limited time available and i want to get your take is very important here is the curtain falling on the one country 2 systems principle is a dead. he said that the 2nd plane that will be one of them he says is people who are not just these 150 some of those by that is it was this some anymore because he said to be against the basic law against the promises made by china's

government some 3030 years ago you know. pro-democracy legislator mr cockey clock member of the civic political a party sir thank you thank you. well back here in germany in this country as long a handful of countries worldwide praised as leaders in the coronavirus containment but on thursday 902 new cases were reported the highest daily total since may well the rise has yet to trigger a 2nd wave according to public health officials but people still taking precautions seriously do you mean you said the streets of berlin to find out and then why we are wearing masks so actually it's because i'm in yemen now and i have a mask on. but i think it's it's a major problem for the world it's a panda me so we have to be wary of people just don't want to hear about it anymore

and think they can negotiate with the virus but your contribution is funded by may 15th i understand the young people they want to have fun and party but the threat is that. if part of the motive for it to go when there's a real threat i've all for protection but i don't feel we're friends with my why don't we just love to see who have happened and see what happens like in sweden you know and be i think i'm part of exactly and i just believe that coronaviruses have always been around and now something that used to be perfectly normal is being blown up. by this what if an unfair because our president told us from the start it was a marathon and as soon as you know somebody who's affected and i know somebody who died in latin america you wake up and understand it's a psychological process that we're all going through together limit. our right here views there for you well here in berlin carnivorous restrictions have shut down the

city's fabled wild nightlife well clubs have been closed for months now and there is no sign that they might reopen anytime soon and that's got some rivers raving mad while some are now to find authorities and are taking the party to the city's parks this next report contains slashing images. merlin's club scene is world famous but corona is threatening its existence. clubs like this one have been empty for months. a vaccine is the only hope for many owners. and we've already seen examples of brawn showing that it really doesn't work in south korea they thought they had the pandemic under control because they had hardly any new cases then they opened the clubs and they had their 1st case in a clump within the week which meant that the club's had to be closed down again.

people are itching to dance again. illegal raves have been taking place weekly in berlin's house in hyde park. up to 5000 are thought to have attended one last saturday. laura was one of them she wanted to remain anonymous. just look around you at every football match there are at least 22 people on the field with substitutes you've got up to 30 or 40 people and they were very quick to allow that again. sure with restrictions but this categorical band ignores the needs of the party community. and in. reverse seem to be ignoring the threat of the coronavirus. i think the problem with a lot of people is that they can't understand why open air options are not being

made available in the can often see was they don't see an infection risk because there have been numerous large events such as demonstrations with no infections because if you look it would appear that there is little danger of infection so i guess people say why not make it legal and if it's not made legal they do it illegally. legal. on these and. many club owners have asked district authorities to allow open air events they've been waiting months for a decision. for they can't be that hard to just make green spaces available where it's possible to set up a security cordon and some portable toilets people are doing it anyway. so in full. i think most of us would cooperate if there were an official location that's cordoned off with a limit of say 50 or 100 people and you'd have to wear a mask. but with fall and cooler weather fast approaching the window of

opportunity for open air events is closing and with it possibly many of the city's beloved clubs. here's a look at some of the other developments in the coronavirus endemic vietnam accorded its 1st coronavirus death on friday as the pandemic rebounds their country previously appraised for continuing the contagion all of british prime minister boards just meanwhile says he is putting the brakes on easing the lockdown measures and will instead be imposing new restrictions that's after a new spike in corona virus infections in the u.k. and germany has added 3 northern spanish regions to its list of high risk destinations and you want to riving from these areas will have to produce a negative virus test or go into quarantine for 2 weeks. to tell you about here some of the other stories making news around the world. a huge fire has ravaged

european champions stronger larger enterprises that are able to compete at i level with international competitors in asia in in in america and. the reason for that is that the main chinese competitor c.r.c. have already gained a foothold in europe last year by by buying a german locomotive business so it's already pushing into the market and also has better chances to fend off these competitors if they are bigger and stronger now xander will porting for you from brussels thank you. a court in egypt test sent several young women to prison after they posted videos on the social media app to top prosecutors allege they had quote violate it sam lee values well the accused include 2 prominent young influencers on human rights groups see the jailings as part of a wider social media crackdown especially on content posted by when.
