this is the deputy news live from berlin and 3 leading hong kong activists plead guilty to protest charges. god bless hong kong. they will continue to fight for freedom. and now it's not a pipe was faking it to surrender. joshua long time to other prominent pro-democracy organizers send a message of defiance as their trial gets under way. also on the program, ukraine's underfunded health care system stretched to breaking point by the pandemic. we get a firsthand account from a doctor, he's had posted 19,

and is back at work fighting to give others the best possible care. plus, one of mahler's government says protesters who set fire to the country's congress building and guilty of terrorist acts. the demonstrators, a furious about cuts to education and health care in the latest budget. and in the bundesliga, all eyes were on mine strike casual policeman. take his side, paid tribal, to visit on match day. i'm rebecca rich's. welcome to the program. in hong kong 3 prominent activists have plaited guilty as a trial begins over their involvement in last year's pro-democracy. protests. joshua won ivan lamb an agnus challenge, all expecting jail terms for inciting and organizing in an authorized assembly. the charges are related to

a protest outside of police headquarters in june of last year on kong's pro-democracy movement has faltered since posed a sweeping national security lore on the territory that severely restricted political speech. joshua wang has now been remanded in custody, but before entering court, he had a message of defiance. the support is neither prison bars, no election, both nor any other arbitrary power will stop us from activists on. what we are doing now is to explain the well off freedom to the world through our compassion, the home we love so much that we are willing to sacrifice the freedom of our own. for a prayer, for the fringe was of walking free. may god bless hong kong and we will continue to fight for freedom. and now it's not that high for us, kowtow to beijing, and to surrender. thank you. strong words there for just one for more i'm joined by material burning up in beijing. miti is the defendants including joshua long of the

figurehead, some might say, has pleaded guilty now. what's the sentencing likely to be yet they are all in there reminded no and waiting for their sentence to be announced that we next week. the offense carries a maximum sentence of 5 years in prison. it's however likely that the sentence would be lower than that, because handing out the maximum sentence would require a higher level off court. handing down the sentencing. joshua one had originally said he would fight the charges, but has changed his mind to plead guilty. why do you think that was they have decided to speed up the process. i think it was very clear that they could not we didn't all defy

this court. there is a crackdown going down on going on against the protestors of hong kong. and dutch might be a reason for his decision. what is also noteworthy is that this is a process under the hong kong common law. the often is all the paragraph that we are talking about is one that is remnant off the old, colonial british laws. and it is negotiated in regular hong kong courts. joshua long might await a much harsher sentence under the national security law. if he had won this case, they would probably not have left him, let him off the hook. so i am pretty sure that all these conditions together

made it look like a better option for him to do so. and what impact will this court case have on hong kong's trying to moccasin, if meant in this court case and its own is probably something that everybody would expect it already last year. what has a much wider impact on the protest movement is this national security law that introduces the arbitrary chinese judicial system into hong kong that provides for secrets trials and all these things. this is much more scary to the hong kong people and to the protest movement than these a court hearings and the sentences by the regular course under common law find it is failing us speaking to us from beijing, thank you. late is of the wealthiest countries have wrapped up an online summit, promising to supply covert 19 vaccines and testes affordably to all the world's,

people. a virtual gathering of the g., 20 group hosted by saudi arabia and to ease worries that poor countries would be left behind. as the pandemic deepens, divisions between rich and poor climate change in the environment and merged as the other 9th, a cheering the summit a 1st for an arab nation hosting a summit of the leading industrial countries. even if it was a virtual gathering dominated, of course, by the pandemic, but with the environment also high on the agenda, again must before not be but in india and college degree. the g 20 should continue to take the lead in tackling climate change. we need to follow the guidance of the united nations and push for the full and effective implementation of the paris agreement on climate change.

most of the leaders made the right noises about the need to protect the planet. but, in typical style, u.s., president donald trump defended his decision to pull out of the agreement. the paris accord was not designed to save the environment. it was designed to kill the american economy by refused to surrender millions of american jobs and central years of american dollars to the world's worst polluters and environmental offenders. and that's what would have happened. german chancellor angela merkel stressed the need to help poorer countries to deal with the economic impact of the coronavirus for the 1st time in a long time, we see an increase in global poverty. we need to act resolutely against this in our meeting today. we therefore stressed the importance of private investments in

particular in africa. it was left to the host king solomon of saudi arabia, to close the summit with an upbeat message. we have got held up a commitment to work together to meet the challenge of the covert, 19 pandemic, to save lives, and livelihoods, and protect the most vulnerable. now the world must put its faith in the coronavirus vaccines in development. and in the g 20 leaders promise to distribute these fairly and affordably our correspondent in brussels, teri schultz has more on how a year later is reacted to the outcome of a summit. to 20 leaders, wrapped up their 2 day virtual summit, promising to support developing countries as the whole world struggles through the pen demick and the economic devastation it's brought in. their final statement. leaders of the 20 largest economies pledged to make a vaccine affordable and accessible for everyone. european commission president or

present evidence of a recent negative test and undergo a 2 week surveillance period. china says it's ramped up its testing of frozen foods . already say it comes after they repeatedly found traces of the corona virus on imported products and their packaging and spanks says it will begin a comprehensive vaccination program in january prime minister petra sanchez says, a quote, substantial part of the population will be able to be vaccinated in the 1st 3 months of the year as the 2nd wave of corona, virus infections grips europe, the pandemic is stretching health care systems to breaking point. ukraine's underfunded hospitals are struggling to keep up with a surge in patient numbers. i made this fight frontline medical workers are among those suffering most present. i knew that i get sick of eventually when i got the news that i was infected, it was such a blow. i cried. i've done all. i could to stay safe. this place is my baby. no one ever saw me here without a mask. on as robert, with my name is only no craft. i'm

a senior doctor here at the hospital in the u. bar critters they, along with most of the doctors and nurses here have gone through coated with but we had a big outbreak here in the town, which is many as 58 new patients in just one day many of them were very ill and i'm a neuro pathologist by training, but i had to learn how to operate a ventilator. there was no choice, a patient was dying and i didn't know what to do. i did some reading and called my husband who is an anesthetist. he was telling me what to do over the phone on the loudspeaker. and it worked. it's hard to explain just how happy i was that everything in my, one of my father's friends is in our intensive care unit. great. now

you're always aware that your own parents could soon be patients here. and then i got infected myself. it was scary, really scary. i had seen what covert can do. i was lucky, i didn't get pneumonia and was back at work 2 weeks later. as for when it was our main problem is that people come in too late. many with very serious pneumonia. some tell you they don't have money. others don't believe covert even exists. they say it's just the flu. this most definitely isn't the flu. my garage is the most precious thing right now is oxygen. you can see the patient's hand stretching out for the masks. you can see how desperately they need it. you see how they come to life once they get it. even trying to turn the dial up on their own. i go to bed,

imagining what would happen if we run out of oxygen supplies or i'm sure it will happen eventually. so will we have to slam the door shut in patients or faces and tell them we've run out of them and then them are you? i'm joined now by dave correspondent, nick connelly in kiev. nick some very dramatic scenes there. tell us how dramatic is the situation in hospitals across the country? good morning, record. what is extraordinary difficult. we've seen cases here up to about 131-4000 new cases every day. that's double what it was just a month ago. and that hospital, even though maybe the conditions there could look basic to someone who is more used to hospital settings in western europe or north america. that is a pretty good, pretty well resourced by the standards of provincial ukraine. this is really a country with huge discrepancies between the big cities and the smaller towns and villages. as we heard there from the doctor, oxygen is a big problem with this is not

a disease that doctors are able to treat right now. this is about keeping people going while their body deals with this viral infection. and that doctor told us that their hospital, their supplies oxygen, they last thing for a cup. they have an extra supplies for a couple of hours. so if those supplies, if those trucks bring oxygen from the nearest big town, what is stop if there was cold weather and that breakdown they would really have to make choices about who would get about that? just about that is a medical stuff. this is a country where doctors are not paid well even by local standards. thousands of doctors have left for neighboring countries and they're really running out of people to look after all these people that doctrine or she is a neurologist having to learn on the job while saving people's lives. how to operate a ventilator. so this is really a search and it isn't looking good and that is getting more difficult as this winter season increases and date. and we've heard that some people don't even go to the hospital because they may not have the money. how well does the health system work in general? so in theory, people do get free medical care in practice,

often they're expected to pay for drugs, pay for various materials, but this wasn't a system that was pretty clearly strong and well resourced at the best of times. so there was obviously going to be a huge challenge. anyway, i think this is also a big problem of governance, isn't just about the ability of doctors without results to treat this disease. this is about our national response in an infectious disease situation like this and present, present would seem to have had originally good 1st wave understanding the country didn't have the resources to treat, to track traces pukki effectively. he basic loads down this country for months at a time in the spring, the metro here and was out of operation for weeks out and shot. and now basically the countries of the government decided that they can't afford a rerun of that. they don't have the money to give businesses and to give employees money to stay at home. and so we now have a situation where there's basically symbolic businesses shut on weekends in practice, lots of big cities outside of kiev have told the central government to get lost and

basically continuing as usual. and lets people thinking about their business survival and bankruptcy rather than the actual infection numbers that are jumping up here. very difficult winter in the weeks ahead. yeah, very difficult situation on an economy. thanks very much. turn now to some other stories making news around the world. human rights groups say bellerose police have arrested more than 300 demonstrators in the capital. minsk, thousands protested for the 16th. straight sunday, calling on president alexander lukashenko to step step down. they accuse the, president of rigging elections in august. then, in the u.s., joe biden is pushing ahead with preparations for office despite president donald trump's continuing refusal to concede the election. media says biden will nominate anthony blinken as the secretary of state when he announced and the 1st pick of his

a 100 year must say, for approving a budget that sparked outrage in the impoverished central american nation. most of the funds were in amount for infrastructure projects, while spending on education and health care was cops the morning after workers clean up the debris. what demolishes government says protestors who set fire to the country's congress building on saturday. are guilty of terrorist acts by the human rights groups and the police used excessive force against them. at least 12 were injured and dozens of others arrested. it was, was, i guess my hands raised in the air, but 358, policemen still came and beat me. they put their boots on my head. i think they're

images of that. the truth is that it's just not right. we must remember that we are no longer in a dictatorship and will die. i mean, what you write most ilia, it whittles yesterday i was arrested for documenting the demonstration in the square. i'm a documentarian and a photo journalist. i was doing my job when the police attacked me and illegally arrested me. and it will emit little girl, and thousands of demonstrators had gathered in central guatemala city to protest cuts in education and health care spending. the new budget was negotiated in secret and approved by congress before dawn on wednesday. yet more want that i had the people can't stand it anymore. is it over? they burnt the building because they're angry and because the president doesn't help them and his own party, the people are needed. they're suffering, they are hungry. and this is he that who is going to help them eat if the president

has all the money he had. and i like that back at the moment. he had better get that. they're not going to meddle vice president at all testy. you responded to the protests with a drastic proposal put in the end by this for the good of the country. i have asked the president that we both present our resignation from office, him as president and myself as vice president. but we must do it together. but president aleksander refuses to step down, clinging on to power despite the widespread outrage to france. now, every government has proposed a sweeping new security bill following a series of recent terror attacks. among other things then, you know, would make it a criminal offense to publish images of police officers with intent to cause them harm. in fact, an outcry among journalist unions and free speech campaigners son of family guy reports from paris. french documentary, the monopoly of violence is

a hard hitting examination of police brutality in france released earlier this year . the film focuses on the yellow there spartacists, as well as allegations of police abuse in the suburbs. filmmaker david differend related footage, provided by journalists as well as ordinary citizens, posting on social media. but making a film like this may not be possible in future with the french government proposing a new security law. part of which cracks down on the broadcast and sharing of images of police officers. differences, the law erodes basic freedoms and puts france on a slippery slope. synfuels police violence has existed in france for decades, especially in the suburbs. today it's well documented. it's filmed. social media allows for the easy broadcasting of these videos. what lawmakers want to do is stop the circulation of these images, and at that point, you're not in

a democracy anymore. that is only prevented him across the french parliament has been debating the controversial law. one of its provisions, stipe, relates jail time and a fine of more than $50000.00 for anyone broadcasting or sharing identifiable images of police officers with the intention of harming them. it's in large demonstrations here in paris as well as in several other french cities. journalist unions and rights groups are up in arms saying that recording officers in action is essential to being able to condemn the actions of violent offices. many believe the law which applies to both journalists and citizens will lead to a sense of impunity, of police at demonstrations that often turn violent. i know friends who are really scared to go to demonstrations because of the violence, the rubber bullets and the tear gas used by police. and the one thing that protects us is taking a video. there's the law wants to protect police officers so that they can hit

people without consequences. journalists or journalists have been hit and injured by police, especially in the last couple of years. and until now, the police version of events could be question thanks to images and videos. campaigners here fear that the new security law could have a chilling effect on press freedom. they say that of citizens and journalists are dissuaded from filming the police. it may make it harder to hold certain officers to account. the french government however, says the law is necessary to protect police officers in the line of duty. the country's largest police union, which has been pushing for the law, agrees with the government dubbed it. olivier ready, says indiscriminate posting of images of officers, especially on social media, has led to a dangerous backlash. today several of our colleagues of victims of paris mint they or their families are threatened in certain low income neighborhoods,

even find walls with the names of police officers saying that their daughter or their wife would be raped. it's completely unacceptable. the new law can protect and put a stop to this recent terror attacks and growing unrest. protests have prompted the french government to take a harder line on security. but the proposed law is only expected to deepen divisions and fanned further mistrust between the police and the public. thank you. so, in the bundesliga on sunday mines picked up their 1st win of the season with a 31 victory over fellow strugglers, fribourg, french strike. additional filly imitator was the hero for the away side scoring all 3 of their goals. yeah, and moritz least those struggling mines arrived in freiburg looking for a change in fortunes. much would depend on the form of sean fleet, but tater. the strike was 4 goals in 7 games, the only bright spots in
