we are working tirelessly to keep you informed on all of our platforms are all in this spirit on together make you. stay safe everybody. stay safe safe please stay safe. this is g.w. news a shot coming up today protests for democracy on a day it was denying. her. hong kong as demand elections despite a government order the postponed them to next year over coronavirus fares police make arrests as protesters stay firm on their demand. they also want a new security you know imposed on the city to be scrapped look at what hong kong was up against and how they are fighting back. i did india metro services resume in

the capital delhi and other cities just as the country of the cold starts 2nd highest coronavirus to slowdown in the world. i'm british manager welcome to did up to news asia it's good to have you with us police in hong kong have arrested nearly 300 people for protesting in the territory on sunday protestors were on the streets on a day that hong kong should have been holding local elections have they not been postponed for a year by the government over a coronavirus police responded to temper balls against protesters who demonstrated against the defilement many believe it was to prevent the pro-democracy parties from gaining at the bandits riding on a wave of anti establishment feeling a new security mold that prohibits virtually all protest in the city has added to the and. government mood.

right. now this is what some of those protesting at to say. that come up later you see only if the government cancels the legislative council election the main reason is certainly not to prevent the spread of the current 19 epidemic. i think the hong kong government is trying to suppress the people's right to express their demands for solutions they wish to see and what the future should look like our rights are being abused they ought to have them. because right now the prototype. is planned by the 5 so we would have to fight for that me to point out what we care what we want to talk about right now i thought today is to keep up the momentum of the resistance

because of the coronavirus and other factors they haven't been too many people protesting but we hope to come out to let everyone know we haven't forgotten those who have been arrested and forced into exile. like we're here to oppose the national security law maybe there's nothing much to be done maybe the most we can do is to remind each other on the internet but we still want to express our voice for hong kong as it is a process. but it's a voice that's been increasingly stifled under the new security law which critics have called. implemented and made its news the word of provisions virtually prohibit all forms of protest those convicted of offenses can be sentenced to a maximum of life in prison for hong-kong those used to be politically active and having free expression it has meant adjusting to what has become a new normal. a lot has changed in hong kong it used to be that many cafes and restaurants exhibited proto. the slogans written on posted. now the notes

are all blank. for cafe owner dickson written political statements are now too risky to blank poster is the new form of protest. the police could put the national security law into effect. just being accused could lead to arrest and imprisonment so. you can see. it's not just post it notes protesters also hold up blank signs ever since the new national security law was instituted political opinions have become dangerous the 1st arrest a young man with a flag demanding hong kong's independence. at least 10 people have been arrested under the new law. no one knows which political slogans

are still allowed. you should be left going to see although you then choose to leave people guessing is the. offensiveness we need to do to speak out that that may be. public libraries and school libraries are now being forced to remove books that don't follow the party line books might democracy activists have already vanished. many teachers are disheartened that resistance could cost them their jobs many in hong kong won't express their criticisms in public. we see that it's. freedom of speech freedom of press or. also. prohibits or controlled by the girl from we are for

a cultural world. we will come to a home call to do strength surgery. the younger generation has been especially involved in the pro-democracy movement now schools are being targeted by beijing so called security law. even statements that teachers make in private are being monitored. their you receive to come to a truce or a political or social per. school tour for us to or you from or to swarm their troops and all the. use of groups through for and for all before. the atmosphere in schools has changed according to these students who call themselves cake and k.f.c. to avoid recognition

a month ago cakes music class chose the song glory to hong kong for a class project. the song had become a him in the protest movement over the past year and was a viral hit. i. i students in schools and universities made a video and then spread it on social media it was often song at pro-democracy demonstrations. but cakes music teacher paid a high price for making the song a subject of the school exam she was fired. for all the time one of the students that presented a song in music class now i feel guilty i think. the teacher was fired because of that song we never thought it would have such terrible consequences.

what angers cake and k.f.c. the most is that their teacher was fired for trying to influence the students. but patriotic songs praising china's communist party are allowed in the school. so that. the song without the communist party. there would be no china is not defined as a political song. why should glory to hong kong be considered a political song. cake and k.f.c. want to continue their protest to 14 and 16 year olds can barely believe how much the new law has already changed their lives free hong kong no longer exists. in the same streets were a 1000000 people marched to defend their rights and security and fear are the new normal.

people will be allowed to board the trains mosques social distancing and temperature tricks old man the tree we also people what they think about their restrictions and whether they will keep us in just safe to bet that all they do if it'll be better if only those going to the office or travelling urgently or to far off places use the metro i don't think there's a reason to be violent if people are taking care of themselves the coronas going to stay for 2 or 3 more years according to the harvest studies and recent trends so i think it is important people should be if. not in the metro this morning and from what i observe i feel people will be safe. that i'm not confident enough to go in the metro in this scenario no not at least a coming 6 months. over in thailand the country's microbreweries and beer lovers a facing a tough time. to spend and a crackdown on social media posts about drinking have left the industry feeling flat on top of that small brewer say government rules favoring mosby up productions

conservation. how do we make see the street. how can we protect our tests. we can make a difference. in the ideas the environmental series in 2000 on and on. it's been 8 months of masks of lockdowns and curfews of living in fear of covered 19 and around the world people are saying they've had enough coronavirus fatigue is setting in not just from the virus itself but the restrictions governments of implemented to slow it spread people are gathering closer together wearing face masks less often. some of the reactions have been angry demonstrations against coronavirus restrictions have drawn tens of thousands of protesters into the

streets 8 months into the pond to make we understand that people are tired. to get on with their lives with a vaccine likely still months away people's desire to return to normality and the growing backlash against restrictions is becoming a major risk. after months of the pandemic it's probably no surprise that many of us are feeling sick of getting sick in belgium people are returning to school and work after the summer break the number of new daily cases there is falling but the country has one of europe's highest death rates nevertheless a study into speaking region flounders home to more than half the population shows 70 percent of people no longer support the restrictive measures aimed at slowing the spread of the virus a reporter teri schultz sent this report from brussels. the covered 19 infection rate is declining in belgium but kovac 19 fatigue is growing so many months of

isolation so many masks for me it's like something really oppressive t.-bo who doesn't want to give his last name despises social distancing and defies the rule to wear a mask in downtown brussels if i. if i go into metro ok but if i walk alone in the street no no that is really too much and tivo is hardly alone in his opposition michael for stratton who represents the protest group virus madness says no one should have to follow restrictions except to the most vulnerable how many people would die if we would not take any measures at all at the moment we don't know in fact you have no idea new research shows just one in 3 people surveyed in the dutch speaking part of belgium still supports the safety measures that's down from more than 80 percent in march when the pandemic 1st hit here university of ghent professor martin feldstein who led the study blames poor official

communication for the dramatic drop in motivation he. says it's been a wake up call for authorities to pay more attention to people state of mind i don't think we have sufficiently been informing people on the consequences of their behavior for them to take a wise decision and now that summer's over everyone's back from holidays more likely to be in enclosed places at work and school it could be a toxic coronavirus cocktail you're quite worried leading belgian virologist even vang says experts are stealing for a potential september surge he nonetheless agrees people should be given more information about actions and consequences and then more autonomy so people can have some freedom to choose what they think is appropriate for their situation and they can adapt their behavior but are people so sick of restrictions by now they

won't follow them then cook believes most do comply but distinctive i don't obey them too strictly because it's very difficult to do but i try anyway they command i feel much safer wearing it we must do it all together but skepticism is clearly growing in recent days open letters have been published in belgian media signed by hundreds of experts including doctors scientists and researchers suggesting the strict measures should be reviewed to see if they're stopping the virus or just the vitality of every day life. masks well as pigs and naomi rogers who is professor in the history of medicine at yale should we be surprised that people are starting to feel tired of the masks in the restrictions. you know i really think we should be. i think that.

as someone who's also living through this as well and as a historian out to see you. i see all around me a sense that people have responded pretty seriously on the basis that this was some kind of disaster so for a disaster you know you're hunkered down you're you for guidance and somehow there was an implicit bargain that it would ing i mean appearance for example extraordinarily hard with their children. restricting their movement teaching them online hoping assuming that. the order that told the schools would be open and everything regarding back to normal and it's been a real shock when that is simply not show it's like you say there's this bargain was and that if we did as we were told that we would get an early end to this pandemic and it's not turned out that way for people you mention you're

a historian of diseases is there a story precedence for this is fatigue people getting tired of trying to protect themselves. oh actually during the 1918 pandemic. and we don't know as much about the experience of people during tend to mix as we really short but it's very clear that people were so anxious to actually to be able to celebrate their return. world war one. veterans and finally at the end of what we now know was the 1st wave of the pandemic they were parades in history everybody was delighted and it was also a feeling that depending make had ended but in fact that wasn't true and then there was. a real sense of anger and frustration when

influenza riam o. and as a major willed wired problem a 2nd time in just a couple of months after that so we do know that they have been historical precedents both thought the hour and here of ways and also the experience of living through them if people are impatient because they want this to come to an end but what doesn't and look like how can we say when this pandemic is over. that's such an interesting question and i have to say that in my experience i've written about it to make sense are great quietly about others historians just didn't seem to really problematize to question it seems to me to actually quite a complicated ideas of what isn't and who is it who's calling it and when does it feel like an end and in particular for example living here in the united states i noticed that. during the summer there's been

a lot of cool for the simply to be the end that everybody should be able to go back to restaurants and bars. go swimming in lakes and the sea just return to an ordinary happy summer time saturday just to say so this is the end that's where we are now let's just pretend that's exactly who you're calling it the end. and this is being as you can imagine this. resulted in great frustration by many public health experts who say well but it but it isn't the end and people who were people in essence are saying we have been a relatively compliant we have to listen to the science and you don't know when and. and i think that there is i mean i don't know whether it's so much

a question of communication i think that's probably one issue but i think there's also a wider sense among the general public and really many public health experts as well which is that they don't know that they don't really have a good sense some of what the induced going to look like or how to more confidently predict it and when your experts real when you realize the explodes don't know. that becomes an even greater. motivation for just saying well maybe i i can decide when it isn't that's the problem nobody knows well at least this interview is now listen and thank you naomi rogers from the school of medicine it's been great to get your insights you're very welcome thank you for having me. now have you got questions you'd like to ask us about the coronavirus well get income tax on now you tube channel and as science correspondent derrick williams

will do his best. what country has lost the most health care workers. this question came in a while ago and i wanted to answer that but i couldn't find reliable data now we have. a new report released by amnesty international last week revealed how the pandemic has taken a very heavy toll on on frontline medical staff all over the world in the last 8 months in all it's said that at least 7000 health care workers have been killed by carbonite worldwide since the pandemic began and we know that hundreds of thousands more have been infected with the disease while while making efforts to contain it and to treat patients the report said that over half of all

confirmed deaths among medical staff had occurred in just 4 countries mexico the united states brazil and india that's not really a surprise those 4 countries also represent more than half of all confirmed cases of covert 19 a worldwide so so to answer your question mexico is the country that so far seems to have lost the most health care workers to the pandemic and it's lost them at a much higher rate in proportion to its number of confirmed cases than in other countries one analysis said health care workers there were 4 times more likely to die of the disease than their counterparts in the u.s. . very queer limbs there now citizens of venice got a break from the monotony of coronavirus restrictions with
