clash with riot police in warsaw as thousands rally to mark poland's independence. i'm rebecca ritter's welcome to the program. china has condemned the mass resignation of pro-democracy lawmakers in hong kong as quote, political fos and a blatant challenge for the opposition bloc, stood down on mass after 4 of their colleagues were expelled from parliament for china, described as being unpatriotic. a new day in the hong kong legislature without pro-democracy lawmakers. the seats are usually occupied by hong kong's democratic parliamentarians. but now they're empty. as the session got underway a day after the mass walkout, one of the last micah's resigning in solidarity staged a protest. rolling out

a banner in the foyer. i just pulled a 2nd screw that the chief executive decision to disqualify police. officials have said that the that they used their power tool at this point 5. this is the consonance. yeah, that wave, that was they were the last remaining pro-democracy law makers in hong kong. they resigned in solidarity with their colleagues who were deemed threats to national security by beijing. it's yet another blow for the pro-democracy movement . i got that they got over the decision made by the n.p.c. s.c. . ya is ridiculous. it shows that the central government has completely given up on the basic law and the principle of one country 2 systems.

beijing defended the new resolution and denied it is restricting hong kong special freedoms. they were implemented in $997.00, after the city was handed back to china from british rule, showing that how we went through, i think, 20 this year. it is a necessary measure in order to maintain the rule of law in hong kong. and the constitutional order of the special autonomous region, if you, if i it is rational and reasonable and in line with the constitution and laws. beijing recently moved to clamp down on opposition, voices in hong kong by imposing a national security law. after months of anti-government, protests rocked the city last year. hong kong semi autonomous status was originally guaranteed until 2047. but for some, the end date has already arrived. for more we're joined by day debbie's joyce les,

the nation is led to and they open challenge against the breaking up law or tease. and it is anticipated that after the non-stress nations, these lawmakers will no longer be able to participate and the elections, and that will undermine the fight for democracy. precisely in the pro-democracy movement did. this is a statement as a protest, but now they've lost their voice in the legislature. did these resignations just play into china's hands? yes, actually, this is beijing, and this is a move and dissipated by the pro at stablish montag. and yesterday, sat in a press conference that she is actually excited, that future loss and more insurgency,

the opposition can top the recitation. so it is certainly what the probation camp has been anticipating and hopeful. what about out on the straits choice. however, hong kong has been reacting to this most hong kong hours have been anticipating this days to come. many of them on disappointed and very strong that beijing is bypassing the basic law, which is the meat constitution off home call to just disqualify. you know, pro-democracy lawmakers with immediate effect and many of them saying that without any opposition forces in the legislative council in the future, the legislature will only become a robust and polity, which is just like the legislature in china where they

approved. all right. correspondent joyce lee in hong kong. thanks very much for speaking to us. let's look at some other stories making headlines around the world . now. typhoon vanco has lashed the philippines, leaving millions without power. rescue teams were overwhelmed in city. close to the capital manila where around half the houses have been flooded. it's the 3rd typhoon to hit the philippines within as many weeks. the storm has now weekend and is heading towards vietnam. violent clashes broke out in peru's capital leymah after the former head of congress, manuel near reno was sworn in as the new president. the protests followed the removal of the previously to demonstrate his accused lawmakers of hijacking the presidency and plunging through into crisis. for us, president and president elect have attended separate veterans day events. donald trump attended a wreath laying ceremony at arlington national cemetery. it was his 1st official

public appearance since losing the election. joe biden marked the day that honors servicemen and women at the korean war memorial. in philadelphia. u.s. president elect joe biden has chosen his longtime aide, ron klain, as his white house chief of staff claim was a cave figure, joining the presidential campaign and has already served as biden's top lieutenant cheering barack obama's 1st term. when biden was vice, president, polish nationalists and right wing extremists have clashed with police at a march in the capital was sold, the rally to mark poland's independence day went ahead despite a ban on gatherings imposed during the pandemic. scuffles between the police and far right. protesters in warsaw police in riot gear, use pepper spray and rubber bullets. to push back the demonstrators after they

threw stones and firecrackers thousands of fight, a ban on public gatherings. due to the coronavirus pandemic, and marched on warsaw streets to mark poland's independence day. the far right groups who organized the march had asked protesters to take part in their cars to respect social distancing. many stuck to the plan, others parked their cars and continued on foot. marchers, waves banners with n.t.l. g.b.t. messages chanted slogans of god, honor and homeland and calls for more sovereignty for paul. and i call on the government to start behaving like the government of an independent state to start behaving in a sovereign way to stop kneeling in front of the capitals of brussels, berlin, and washington as the holiday commemorates

polish independence after world war one. but in recent years, massive marches organized by far right groups have frequently led to clashes with left wing groups and police organizers say the marches are a display of patriotism. but for many in the country, they are celebration of nationalism and far right extremism. well, let's take a look now at some of the latest developments in the corona virus pandemic, ukraine's president, for a lot of may, is the landscape has been hospitalized after contracting covert earlier this week. and the death toll in the u.k. has passed 50000 that's higher than any other european country. germany's public health body, the robert costa institute, recorded nearly 22000 new coronavirus cases over the last day. and organizers of the tokyo olympics next year is saying, athletes arriving in japan won't need to isolate for 14 days. the games have

already been delayed by a year. one covert 19 now and turkey is one of many countries seeing a big increase in the number of new infections. but as in other places, many are letting their guard down despite pressure from officials to stick to the rules. but opposition politicians accuse the government there of hiding the truth. scale of the outbreak, junia reports from istanbul. the city of $16000000.00 in which the corona virus is spreading. and one of the teams that are fighting to stop it was the last image on as a dentist, at least she was until the pandemic started it. she's been a contact traces since march 1 of around 35000 in turkey. yeah, and if you're in your book one day, seen from here, the size of the city kelly scary. and i sometimes wonder where this endemic is headed. but as a doctor, i have

a responsibility. i try to think positively and knowing that i help people this would motivates me and keeps me going there on the tracing team manages around 10 households a day. they work in shifts almost around the clock. the goal is always the same. track down test and isolate those who have been exposed to someone with call that 90 and all of this as quickly as possible. google's 1st case today is the call, x. is all family. the mother recently tested positive. now the father has symptoms to the rule. could you call a clinical quitter? if the test is positive, gergen will also try to trace his contacts. the whole family has to stay at home for the next 14 days. after each visit,

protective clothing has to be changed. job is time consuming and strenuous, but it's worth it. she says, few countries expanded their contact tracing capacity to the extent turkey did. these teams were key to slowing the spread of the virus in spring health officials say. but now, like europe, the number off infections here is on a rise again. as in many other countries, people's vigilance here has slackened in a recent survey. more than half of the respondents in turkey said the coronavirus does not affect or worry them. and critics also blame the government for this lack of concern because the health ministry no longer reports the number of new infections every day. but only the number of symptomatic patients john uncuffed, angelo, of the opposition c.h.p.

says the government is hiding. the real scope of the pandemic is thought the queue will cost so slow. here in istanbul alone, the number of cases is 20 times higher than the tally from the ministry of health from. i'm saying this with regret, but the figures and information we have given are not correct. we're going to go google an image on his on her next house call. although she does not want to take part in political discussions. she knows the debate about the numbers, but doesn't want to get involved. that more and more people disregard the coronavirus rules frustrates her brain, which is surely good. it makes me sad. we are putting so much effort into this work . but what's the point? if so many act as if nothing can happen to that one. and if this doesn't change, we won't see an end to this pandemic sticky because google hopes that she will

soon be able to work as a dentist again. but she also knows that her new job will be needed for quite a while. you know, watching it and i documented a series doc film examines the delicate pace, talks of a $99.00 case of more headlines at the top of the hour. i'm rebecca racist. thanks for watching getto to parliament. everyone knows bobby was despite coming from a poor family. the pop star wants to become president and challenges or god doesn't really talk of the hood. a bull story is bobby walling starts december 10th on doubling up.
