i never would have gone on a trip. i would not have put myself in my parish so you know how dangerous a lot of the theme of the going to be to sleep. would that one little bit of the give them i had serious problems on a personal level and i was unable to live their lives. i'm going to want to know their story and for migrants to refind against reliable information for margaret's u.s. . president truong predicted that the media would stop talking about the coronavirus pandemic a day after the election. well, the election was more than a week ago, and people are getting sick like never before. 1000 hospitalizations are at an all time high here in europe 2 weeks into their 2nd national lockdowns, germany and france say that the surge in new infections is slowing. the probability

of catching the virus is going down. the likelihood of a no walk down christmas is not. i'm for golf in berlin. this is the day if you cool the corona situation in germany is still very serious and the numbers are wearing me high and we haven't reached the plateau yet. we expect gross domestic products to shrink by 5 point one percent in 2020. hindsight it, when we don't trust our hospitals to be in for around this year, we have more people in intensive care than in april. and the numbers have doubled in each of the past. 2 weeks, regrettably economy problem also

coming up is the u.s. president planning to order all american troops to leave afghanistan by year's end, so-called, islamic state and the taliban. they appear ready to fill any void with violence. everyone was screaming, but suddenly it was quiet and we heard someone saying a prayer behind the door that was the suicide bomber right before he blew himself up. it's only thanks to god that we got out alive. and to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and to all of you around the world, welcome, we begin the day with the 1st signs of a pandemic turnaround. here in europe, when they've imber began, the number of new coronavirus infections was exploding in france and germany. partial walk downstairs, slowed the spread, have now been in effect for almost 2 weeks. and there are hints that the restrictions are beginning to work. modest indicators that the curve is being flattened again. what makes me cautiously optimistic is the fact that the number

of cases has been increasing at a slightly slower rate over the last few days. because the curve is not so steeply off, what it appears to be flattening out. and we do not yet know whether this is a stable development, whether it will continue like this or not is about us. this shows that we are not helplessly at the mercy of this virus, and if we are not powerless to try to time for some fresh air, i watch a movie to distract myself a little. you can't think nonstop about the corona finance thing, but it is indeed a very challenging time. and i want germany to get through this, think it's shape. and the paradox is that sometimes you have to act and then get through that time of restrictions, fausta on politics and the pandemic. to talk about both of those. tonight,

i'm joined by our political correspondents. i mean young, good evening to you, simon. i'd like to start by sharing with our viewers. a comment that was made today by the german health minister in spawn about these 1st positive signs that the lockdown is pushing back the pandemic. he said that this doesn't mean that things can really get going again everywhere from december or january. and that we can have wedding parties or christmas celebrations as if nothing were happening. i don't see having events with more than 10 to 15 people this winter. simon 2 weeks ago, the chancellor, she pleaded with the public to cooperate in this latest partial lockdown. so that, and i'm quoting here so that we can save christmas. i suppose she meant to save some semblance of the season. well indeed nobody knows how bad things are going to be when it comes to the christmas. holidays was of

course a very important for many people here in germany and the chancellor was speaking today. she said the government is doing everything. it can to make some progress during the coming weeks and ahead of december. but we're facing a hard winter. she said, so this pretty somber time there pretty un christmas the stuff from bank of america . and she appeared to appeal to people to be sensible, going forward, even if she said there is this small ray of hope in the infection, numbers off flattening off a little bit just on the 22000 infections across germany. in the last 24 hours, a slightly better number than in the last few days, but still high really and terms of what we've seen this year the, our number which tells you how quickly that the disease is spreading is,

is still just below one. it means that it shouldn't be getting worse, it's getting slightly better. but all of these numbers should be, you know, treated with some caution. the medical experts say that, you know, there's still a long. busy way to go before we're going to turn this story around in germany and of course other countries seeing an even worse trend in many cases. that's right. of course that includes the united states and on both sides of the atlantic. we're, in a ring the season of get togethers. we have thanksgiving coming up in the u.s., the holidays in late december new year's. do you have the impression that the german government is gently letting the public in on the truth that this walk down this partial walk down is a matter of months not weeks? well, i think i've made no secret of the, of the cautious approach. and it really all depends on what the development is. in terms of infections. for instance, we had the bavarian state premium,

arcus of areas, one of the parts of germany has been worst affected by cove. it 19, he was saying today will, people should think about christmas in terms of as much family as possible from the authorities. points of view, that is to say they shouldn't be thinking about where they can go abroad. it's just about which family members they might be able to spend a few days over the holidays with or anglo-american again saying today she couldn't rule out, keeping restaurants closed off to the end of the current lockdown and the beginning of december. and of course, restaurants too are an important part of christmas for many people with dining and big events that people would like to have. it really is pretty clear that a lot of that won't be able to happen. they see it. is it realistic, simon, to expect that this partial lockdown that we're in right now that it could last

until we see the 1st distribution of a coronavirus vaccine? well, this vaccine we've been talking about in the last few days, that's giving real hope now of the health minister said the other day he expects it to become available in the 1st 3 months of next year because it'll take a lot longer to roll it out to get the vaccine out there in the population so that we can really turn the corner. i don't think people are expecting the lockdown measures as we see the now to continue. but some form of restrictions will certainly continue over the coming weeks and months. our political correspondent, simon young, on the story for us tonight here in berlin. as always, i mean, thank you. afghanistan with an increase in the number of attacks claimed by so-called islamic state, its capital kabul especially has experienced more violence earlier this month.

storms, university, killing $32.00, people, most of them students there is little confidence. the government can protect the people and there's even less hope. when it comes to the government negotiating a deal to end years of fighting, students still finds it hard to go anywhere near the university of kabul. he was taking part in a seminar. when the attackers came, he seeing his fellow students for the 1st time since the attack. the only topic of conversation is how they managed to survive. that day when they heard the shots, they knew something terrible was happening. everyone was screaming, but suddenly it was quiet and we heard someone saying a prayer behind the door that was the suicide bomber right before he blew himself up. it's only thanks to god that we got out alive.

not everyone was so lucky. $32.00 people died in the attack and more than 50 were wounded. the attackers left a taliban flag behind the so-called islamic state later claimed responsibility saved his own life by jumping out a window. his physical wounds are one thing, but his emotional trauma runs deep. changed my life completely. all the goals i had before my life was carefree, but it isn't anymore. i think about my friends at university who i couldn't help the ones who didn't make it across the country. they were similar attacks almost every day. there were more than 50 deaths and hundreds of injured. the spiral of violence is growing worse, and the islamic state is claiming the attacks. their base of support is growing.

and speaking out for a long time, the afghan people supported the taliban. they bought them ammunition and weapons, but that's over. the taliban are negotiating with the invaders from the us. they are traitors. they don't want to kill americans any more. they act against devout muslims. this man isn't in a mosque outside of. he preaches the state. he says, the group's goal of a caliphate in afghanistan justifies it's violence. afghans don't want democracy. that's a western invention. we need extremists and a dictatorship for this country. we are real muslims, and that's why we support the dictatorship and not the liberal elites. feminine democracy. like many of his generation said

that it was possible to negotiate with the radicals. he doesn't believe that any after all the attacks people here have become very pessimistic. i don't believe that there will be peace anytime soon. to get a sense of what afghanistan was like as a peaceful country, such as it has to ask his grandmother, there's been nothing but war here for 40 years. he'd like to change that. but he has no idea how thin hope for more tonight i'm joined by ian bremmer. he is president of the eurasia group which specializes in global risk assessment. and it's good to see you again. i want to pick up on afghanistan for a moment. there is talk of a purge at the pentagon right now, president trump installing loyalists who have 2 things in common. their opposition to u.s. troops remaining in afghanistan and their desire to bring those troops home. what

is the likelihood in your opinion that trouble order a total withdrawal by year's end? you know, they're also really inexperienced. and the news that i'm getting indeed is that disagreement on afghanistan is the top reason why president trump decided to sort of call the top of the d. o. d. look that this is the longest standing or in american history. and president trump campaigned on many things, but one of them was bringing the troops home. so even though frankly, this decision is not going to have any impact on the elections and nor is going to have any real impact on trump's level. i do think that he individually would like to be able to say that i personally end this war and i think that's a big piece of it. he was slow, rolled by general mattis back when he was the secretary of defense. it was one of

the things the 2 men came to blows over, and this is been something the troposphere pretty consistently about. and you don't think with him calling the top echelon of the pentagon. he is he creating a situation in which if he gives an order for the withdrawal, that there will be top people who will defy the president? i mean, could it come to that? do you think, you know, this is a little unprecedented in the sense that you've only got a couple of months president trump himself is saying still that he won the election when he hasn't. he refuses to concede, it's not supporting a transition, even as you're starting to see. republican senators calling joe biden, congratulating him on his victory. but we've not been in a situation like that before. i consider that the military of the us, a professional and gentlemen institution, and when they're given orders that are clearly running against the interest of the

country, they will say no. we saw that, for example, with efforts to use national guard and deploy them in ways that could have had politicized implications. or for example, when we had those demonstrations in latvia part during the black lives matter issue . and president trump wanted to go and, you know, sort of have a photo op. he got of bush back with, with basically leaders that refused to follow his orders. last suggestions. but when it comes to removing troops from afghanistan, the commander t. has absolutely every right to withdraw those troops. those are orders that he would, you would need to, you would need to follow. and if the former secretary asked for said that he was not going to, it was completely within trump's rights to remove him from office. it has been 9 days since the election. we have seen the president, i think twice in that time i'm. he's posted hundreds of tweets, almost all of them are about efforts to maintain his power. very little. if any,

about the pandemic, for example, record coded hospitalizations. is this a president who is completely missing in action if you will? president trump did say that we were not going to hear anything about coronavirus after the election. he just forgot to say we were going to anything from him. and that has, with the exception of i think, one tweet about the vaccine one. pfizer made that announcement, which is, you know, obviously very good news. indeed. we have seen virtually nothing. and you know that anthony has been increasingly very public in saying this is ministration is failing to lead on coronavirus much. it is the reason that president trump lost if it hadn't been for on a virus that the timing hadn't been so bad as well. i think was he talking. 4 about a 2nd term for president trump right now, but that's not where we are. we do have,

we had 144000 cases yesterday, that is a true record number. we have record numbers of hospitalizations, and death rates are going up yet again across the entire country. this not just south of the northeast, the president trumps interest that actually leading any response to that was to 3 and or ordinated what the incoming by ministration is literally 0. in the midst of the worst crisis of our lifetimes, that is, that clearly makes you feel a lot more circumspect about how the country is going to be able to respond to this as it gets colder. busy and as people are having more indoors and with all the panic, but let's remember that the president's actual authority is limited enough better all system where it's really the governors and the mayors that are setting most of the roles not just turns the case 6 months ago, it is the case now, there's a, that's a good point to bring out the transition process if the president obviously not

cooperating. we know that the democrats are outraged, and now even a republican senator says enough is enough. i want to take a listen to what senator langford from oklahoma said yesterday. there's nothing wrong with vice president biden, getting the briefings to be able to repair itself and so that he can be ready. the president's already getting those. there's nothing wrong with the former vice president getting those kamel heiress is on the intelligence committee. she has all the clearances that she needs to be able to do that. there is no loss from him getting the briefings and i'm able to do that. and if that's not occurring by friday, i will step in as well and be able to push them to say this needs to occur. so they, regardless of the outcome of the election, whichever way that it goes, people can be ready for the actual task. all right, so there you have this congressman saying by friday by tomorrow in watergate. we had a group of republican congressmen who went to the white house and told president nixon

times come, you got to go, are we approaching anything comparable to that with president dropped not yet. right now. it's still petulance. and i understand why trump is dragging his feet. i mean, he's trying to take all the troops out of afghanistan. and there's going to be a presidential daily briefing that talks about a lot of the negative implications of what's happening in afghanistan. if those troops go in biden, and harris actually get that, you can understand how that would undermine president trump's ability to meno. make good on that decision. but look right now, president trump, he's lost the election. all the media's call that there's no way that if there is no evidence of fraud, and even if there was some level of fraud this, it's inconceivable that it would raise to the number of votes we're talking about that would be able to swing this election. so there is 0 chance that 5 is not going to take office on january 20th. but president trump is completely within his legal

rights to launch these lawsuits contesting the outcome. and you've got people like the head of the senate mcconnell who is supporting president trump's right to launch these last i'll tell you i support his right to launch these lawsuits. i think they're frivolous. i think it's stupid. i wish he wouldn't do it. but he has the legal right, this is with in the rule of law and we ran our elections problem properly. 67 percent of americans actually voted in the middle of a pandemic. that's the highest percentage turnout since 1960. very proud of that. and we should be proud of the electoral college working the way it's supposed to the president trump. besides, doesn't want to concede, you know what democratic candidate for governor in georgia, stacy abrams lost by 55000 votes. she didn't like the outcome. she thought it was stolen, but the regularity she never conceded, it didn't matter. and it's so if trump doesn't want to concede, if he doesn't want to go to the inauguration, he could be

a child. and that's unfortunate, but that doesn't, doesn't stop biden from become president, by the way. doesn't stop trump from running in 2024. that's as it were, the nation. you know, it's right. maybe we'll be talking about it in the foreseeable future president. and the reason it is always be appreciate your insights. thank you. 3rd. britain's conservative government has just approved a new road tunnel that would run directly past one of the world's best known ancient monuments. stonehenge, the 3 kilometer long underground highway would replace the congested road next to stonehenge. but that plan collides with warnings by britain's planning inspectorate, which says the prehistoric site could suffer quote, permanent and irreversible harm. unlike any in stonehenge is 5000 year history. local people and archaeologists have also been campaigning

against this tunnel warning that it could destroy as yet undiscovered for historic treasures. i'm joined now from the stone henge alliance, which is a group campaigning against the tunnel. kate, kate, it's good to see you this, this road. it's a bottleneck. i mean, i was just there a couple years ago and i remember looking at this 2 lane road full of cars. is this tunnel? is it a realistic way of, of getting rid of the traffic problem? and no, i don't think it is the tunnel itself, of course could cause bottlenecks and it will be closed from time to time. and then there will be social chaos of some local roads. and the problem that we see in it, in the midst of all is that this is a world heritage sites. it's just 5 mins. fighting the hostilities across the

tunnel is only 3 kilometers long. so that means to each side of the tunnel well within the world heritage site designated for its prehistoric archaeology, there will be massive road crossings down to the tunnel portals major interchanges on the boundaries of the well tariff sites to the site. so all those essential part of the world heritage site will be more traction to businesses. what's the scheme is in place? it will absolutely devastate the landscape to each site and to be a huge loss of ocular remains. so this is basically a cosmetic project. and the inspectorate, i'm just, i'm wondering haven't these concerns that you're talking about? certainly they've been, they've been voiced and it were, they just dismissed it when disapproval was given. well this is the government's

key and the government's advice. this is advice they are currently following. obviously going to recommend the scheme to go ahead because that the governments, the ones you know, sco are opposed turds we've now had today because of this sudden surge of plus public city $10000.00 signatures on our petition. there are people from $147.00 countries around the world, 2 objects and skins. what about saying that if the tunnel is going to go ahead 1st, there has to be an archaeological appraisal, an excavation, i mean maybe that would be a chance to find what is actually there in the ground. well, yes, the house seen an evaluation in advance of the scene going forward for examination,

but that was only a partial examination of what's not. and then all this amount of research has been done in recent months to noninvasive much more techniques. jessica, and that's a show that is masses off. this is still to be it will check your site. now doing ok, not too takes in advance of the roads, means that you're just working along a section across the landscape. it's not easy to research questions. the, the way enough money to do the job is apparently as one would night. and well, of course, just to do it within the means that a house will do the best job possible that they won't be able to cover all of them . that's really needed. the proper research kid filled in with the stonehenge alliance. could we appreciate your time in your insights tonight and please keep us

posted on what happens. thank you. thank you. good night. well, the day is almost done, the conversation continues online. you'll find us on twitter either d.w. news or you can follow me at brant go off t.v. and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day. we'll see you then i'm

going to come into the conflict zone with tim sebastian, britain's prime minister, the forest johnson is on the file. once again, not least from members of his own conservative party. my guest this week here in london is one of his junior m.p.'s been moffo, lonny elected to parliament 3 years ago. come mr. johnson, the whole team's current slide in the opinion,

polls among the party. do 50 come conflicts of 90 minutes on d, w. d to know that 77 percent are younger than 60 that's me and me and you and you know what? it's time. no voice is on the 77 percent. beats obama beat issues, stuff. this is where you come to 77 percent this weekend on d. w. the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. how has the rate of infection been developing? measures are being taken? what does the latest research say? information and context. the coronavirus and the coalition special

monday to friday on t.w. . we can start rewriting the software of sample bacterial cells. were not creating life threats, were rewriting. will you have a program for all the software or read all of us will we can redesign them. they'll have different properties. i don't have a clue or little bit of changing the amino acid up of this low protein. that would give us better attrition through growth, to sort of using fossil fuels. to bake class for you could have vital organ of synthesizers to the ball field of the length of the other, but clef,

we're just learning. this is a new field. this is g, w. news live from berlin, reports of civilians massacred in ethiopia as the conflict in the region intensifies. the fighting in the north of the country has already displaced thousands from their homes. aid organizations are warning of a humanitarian catastrophe. in the making. this in a region that has been on the road to peace,

also coming up hospitals in italy and other parts of europe approaching the breaking point naples. just one of the hot spots reporting a shortage of doctors and hospital beds, amid a surge in new corona, virus infections. i'm burnt off. it's good to have you with us. we begin tonight in ethiopia, where there are reports of dozens of people being killed in what amnesty international is calling a massacre. it's the 1st time widespread civilian casualties have been reported in the weeklong conflict in the country's region. the united nations says some $11000.00 refugees have fled from ethiopia into sudan. at least half of them are children, aid agencies warn of a humanitarian crisis in the may this is

a country sliding into civil war. these ethiopians have come here not to enjoy themselves, but to give blood for their soldiers fighting in te great state. the main aim of the blood donation program is to express our affection our us hate. for our arab, the conflict is not with the ground. not with the great people, not with the great reagan. it's rather with who attacked our army in f.m. 4 way marcie. the conflict erupted. 8 days ago. the government launched a military operation after an alleged attack by local forces on a federal army base integrates capital the federal government. if the right to the proof in iraq security forces in the use force in

order to open hand those implicated in must equal russian and grows human rights violations. relations between the ethiopian prime minister and the t great people's liberation front have long been tense. for nearly 30 years, the t.p.m. left was dominant in ethiopian politics. but abi curbed the party's influence after coming to power in 2018, its leaders say they have been unfairly targeted. a constitutional dispute raised matters to boiling point. the t.p.i. left rejected obvious decision to postpone national polls due to the coronavirus. in september, they went ahead with elections in te grey, which they control not only the stability of ethiopia as it state the country with its population of 100000000 is pivotal to the stability of the horn of africa as a whole in 2019. abbie one and noble peace prize for his sweeping political reforms and his role in brokering peace with eritrea after

a bloody border war. but so far he has failed to heed the calls of the united nations and the african union for a cease fire in this dispute. more now we want to go to him davidson. he's a senior european analyst at the international crisis group that is an independent nonprofit organization with the goal of preventing and resolving conflicts is going to have you on the program. what is going on here? are we looking at ethnic tensions erupting, or are we looking at one side trying to solidify its power in ethiopia? well, we're looking at some combination of that and also some other elements. as you heard in your reports, the federal intervention is the grace to remove the leadership and the specific or immediate reason for that it would just patients that was the alleged attack by the great forces on the military. or you're to great taking command of aspects of the

elements of the federal military, stationed, integrated in west to great, where the fighting is being concentrated, and where the refugees have fled from sudan. there is also the prospect of an ethnic or into regional war. those are areas that west a greater claim by i'm horribly, horribly chenault. i'm horrified actions and has been considered war involvement. horror elements in the fighting. and to add to those tensions, reports are being confirmed by amnesty that several tens, or perhaps hundreds of people who massacred by nights of machetes in a town in that area that's being pinned on. on force is a lie. and it's the p.l.f. . further information is going to come out, and that is clearly going to increase the ethnic tensions, and the m. hora aggression towards a part of the great your sources. your people have not been able to convert confirm

the reports of that massacre. have they where you amnesty international has released a statement today. the massacre definitely occurred. people were killed by machete . the exact number of deaths is not clear, the exact nature of the perpetrators is not clear in the victims of reported amnesty international that these were elements allied with the ground forces. and that's the details that we know at the moment. what about the role of prime minister abbie hoffman? here? i mean, he is a nobel peace laureate. is he making matters worse? or is he trying to ease the conflict? well, what the prime minister and federal governments are trying to do is to remove the leadership of the region via military intervention. and they say they were given absolutely no option to do that. it's a great emphasis to control them and attack elements of the federal military station and take rate of growth. a justification is that to take that it has been

destabilizing yet it is only its latest breach of the constitutional order. and it crossed so crossed a red line. the issue is, how easy is it going to be to achieve these objectives of apprehending leadership at the international crisis group. we are very concerned that this could be a great, costly walked out because of the control that you let leadership have over the regional government. and also what seems like a set amount of support. i have to keep positions of the regional government from the people of the with davis and with the international crisis group. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight with this developing story. thank you. thank you very much. in the corona virus pandemic, new infections here in europe continue to increase despite the partial walk down to imposed in many countries. france's prime minister saying the number of coronavirus

patients in the hospital, they are now higher than it was last spring. one person is being admitted to the hospital every 30 seconds in france. france has made the pandemic, the focus of this year's virtual paris peace forum president emanuel, make wrong stressed today that there must be fair access to a coronavirus vaccine and treatment around the world. people all across europe tonight, hospitals are under strain including those in italy. europe is ground 0 in this pandemic. this time, it's not just the rich north of the country that the for the 2nd wave of this pandemic is also stretching resources in naples and in the poor cell. 7 coronavirus patients wait for hours outside the emergency ward at the clinic to get treatment. relatives have brought them here in their own cars. but we did, you know,

we've looked all over naples for ventilators and haven't found anything at all. that hospital staff treat them as outpatients. the area around the gulf of naples is seeing a huge 2nd surge in coronavirus cases after a long party company, a is the 2nd hardest hit region in italy. antonio carly hospital is the biggest health center in the south of the country. doctor, just 70 of his sone works in the emergency ward a year ago. things were already tense here even before the onset of the pandemic. after his shift, the doctor emerges. his state reflects that of italy's health system. he's exhausted the system is righted it's limit. we're using all possible resources in order to treat patients. but now it's coming down to a question of pure math. there are so many patients. the system is unable to accommodate them. on the weekend, these images from naples, seafront promenade,

outraged italians across the country. but the national government still designates the company a region as level yellow. not red. critics say the region's crisis. department cooked the figures to avoid a lockdown when they registered i.c.u. occupancy last week. at 27 percent. the president of the italian doctors association is worried. he wants all of italy to be designated a red zone. looking for a government is trying to serve various interests, namely economic as well as health care. of course, the economy is important. we understand that. but if the curve continues to rise, italy's health care system will simply not be able to handle it. doctors and nurses are honored in these figures by craftsman gernot today, virgilio, his store is on the popular shopping street sign category or are men are now empty

. janardan, who is worried about the future, both for his health and his business in the city of naples at the foot of the famous spokane, oh, mt vesuvius. let's look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. at least $74.00 migrants have reportedly drowned after their boat . heading for europe capsized off the coast of libya. more than 100 people were on board near the port of the libyan coast guard. rescued more than 40 police in armenia have arrested a leading opposition figures for protesting against the russian brokered peace deal . it aims to end weeks of fighting with the eyes of the deal gives up large parts of the disputed region of nagorno-karabakh that has prompted thousands to call for the resignation of armenia's prime minister gone. as former president jerry rawlings has died at the age of 73,

rawlings came to power through 2 coopers in 1079 and 81. he later led his country's transition to democracy before serving 2 terms. as an elected president. china has condemned the mass resignation of pro-democracy lawmakers in hong kong. as a political for 15 opposition legislators stepped down after 4 of their colleagues were expelled under new powers, allowing the removal of members of the territories parliament who are deemed to be disloyal to china. a radical change to hong kong legislature. these seats are usually occupied by home kong's democratic column and syrians. but now they're empty. as the session got underway a day after the mass walkout, one of the little mike is resigning in solidarity protest it. he rolled out a banner in the foyer, criticizing city leaders, carry lamps,

decision to disqualify the legislative council as not long afterwards. the lawmakers took part in their last act formally handing in their resignation, letters. they cues beijing of trying to remove the city's autonomy and shrines. in hong kong's basic law, you know, we all know that when the government big government can always say they're going to give up that right. because they have alternate theories of home. but the point is whether or not you can come back. oh, yeah, way it was on the 15 lawmakers informally resigned on wednesday in solidarity with a colleague's who were deemed threats to national security by joining and expelled from the assembly. but pro beijing lawmakers dismissed the opposition's resignations as a political show. from what i don't knock out,

it's basically a farce. it's blackmail, and it violates the voters trust departs from what they call the principle of democracy. and it clearly shows they're against the central government. and beijing denies its restricting hong kong special freedoms and says, what should happen in the territory is for it alone to decide jungle. the hong kong legislative council is china's domestic offish. now while the country has the right to comment and interfere this lawmaker's walkout evokes strong feelings in the city by a mighty to get i'm very thrilled and i support the disqualification of the law make is that i have been creating chaos in hong kong. and they are against every policy of china, all that we have because i mean, even the hong kong people tell me about all the people i live in government. because

resignations are a sign of escalating tensions between hong kong's ruling executive and the pro-democracy movement, which is determined to show the fight is not over yet. you're watching news coming up next. business news with why are people so forced to hide in trucks? there are many reasons there are many

cancers and they're all.
