their equipment to deal with tear gas things like that and everyone is just really prepared for some sort of shoving and apparently reportedly we might have in fact seen that over the weekend with reports of at least 18 people killed and tell us how that's impacting the mood right now in the sense of resolve among the protesters. yes the protesters are incredibly angry and you know at the very beginning of these protests you often hear protesters giving water to the police where staff and they were often found chatting with the people's police joining with us and now protesters cursing at the police more calling them cowards asking them if they're not ashamed of the rolled up and playing in the professors are calling it. protecting those who are power crazy. wow so so pretty strong language that they're using tell us how sick leader aung

beijing last year it is the largest mass arraignment since the law came into effect last june around 1000 pro-democracy supporters have gathered outside of the courthouse. to all of us they say they have done nothing wrong. pro-democracy activists were defiant as they reported to police to face charges of conspiracy to commit subversion under the national security law that beijing imposed on the territory last summer so that no matter at all difficult it will be . one of the hong kong people. who will keep a hold of. their alleged crime was organizing an informal primary election last year to select pro-democracy candidates to run for legislative council elections a routine matter in much of the world but it took place shortly after the national

security law took effect and for china's communist rulers it was a threat one manipulated from abroad. a small number of countries are vilifying china by spreading lies about territories including hong kong they are up to their usual tricks of politicizing in weaponize it was human rights issues to interfere in other country's internal affairs and we will resist base. the activists say hong kong's last freedoms are at stake so the government can take away all our rights but the eyes of the people all over the world are sharp everyone will know that we hong kong people are still strong in these difficult days. the group hopes the world will be watching on monday 1 may or do you. now who's standing by for us in hong kong phoebe you're you're in front of the courthouse tell us a little bit more about what's going on right now. hi

fi i have been staying outside the courtroom for a home morning and there are hundreds of supporters of the opposition figures present here today who was trying to light up and trying to get into the courtroom to support their position papers and hear that case but apparently that is not enough to cater to all the supporters so many of them just say outside. the lines of the queue even like nearly surrounding to block off the courtroom so the turnout is pretty pretty impressive fly given the fact that we haven't seen such a scene of protest. specially since the intercession of the actual security and the charges you know that these individuals are facing are conspiracy to commit subversion how serious is this and what is the potential punishment for it.

what their fans under the new sweeping national security law could mean life imprisonment maximum so is a really heavy census that could possibly facing all of the 47 opposition figures here now in the courtroom so they're facing the charges there or accused all the spirit seemed to commit some 1st because of their participation in an unofficial primary held last july which was set to choose the opposition candidates both legislative elections for the government accuse them of an attempt to overthrowing the government or paralyzed think of the government because some can't at this. chief executive to step down by the towing all the government's bills so this is law now like a criminal offense in hong kong like it or the fact that even in the past there are similar primaries out in hong kong but now under the new national security law the

government deems this a sufficient how is the world reacting to be. one of the us the european union and also the k. governments how swiftly was bonded to the this last prosecution the u.s. secretary of state. in what he calls for you because it believes of all the rest to take a risk and say that these the political participation the freedom of expression should not be crimes and also you all yesterday they have already called for immediate release and said that these charges could mean that so freedoms were no longer tolerated here in home. with the view from hong kong thank you. there are many as political crisis is deepening protesters on the streets are demanding the resignation of prime minister nicole passion young they accuse him of

but 1st former u.s. president donald trump has had set out a possible presidential run in 2024 he was addressing a gathering of staunch conservatives in his 1st speech since losing the 2020 election he also attacked the republicans who voted to impeach him and called for them to be thrown out of the party. it feels like executing a time machine lending in the days when donald trump was the president of the united states i don't know connor's a co-chair of the floyd offered a ration of teenage republicans they have a stand at this year's c.p.a. the conservative branch of the grand old party is holding its annual meeting in orlando florida at a time when the republicans are doing some soul searching about the future we're going to situated right now we're gone from the republican party lindsey graham that a republican party a president donald a child we have the newcomers coming out like not it's a massive call doing

a really bringing change to the party some good change. as for every party the successful fight for the young voters will be crucial for the future of the republicans generation's ear which in my current age group is very conservative because we saw the backlash you know the millennial being like more socialist and we feel like well there rob. you. saw in the doshas the daughter of indian immigrants she says trump whites all she needs to be a free and successful business woman i want him to say he's running for 2024 and make america great again because right now i don't think it's great since ronald reagan and see peg is a forum for conservative ideas a barometer to identify the future leader of the g.o.p. this year it is all about donald trump every person i talked to didn't leave any doubt that he is the only presidential candidate they will vote for in

2024 making it very very difficult for the republican party to ignore him even so this year's event is pretty empty. and finally he's here for the last act of this year's conference. but who knows. who knows i may even decide to beat them for a 3rd time ok was. this message is enough to keep the hopes of the supporters i'm very excited you know that everything i want to hear the young republican going forward with the republican party so you know i'm excited you know that very happy to see the future the public parties and. for now the republican party seems to be going in one direction. well some history was made at the golden globes for film and television

which were handed out in a mostly virtual ceremony director chloe shall became the 1st woman of color to take best director a live audience was limited as the show was hosted in los angeles and new york movie by clearly show no mad land and stars frances mcdormand it also picked up the evening's top prize best movie drama the best comedy movie went to sasha baron cohen 2nd poor at the golden globes are awarded by the 87 members of the hollywood foreign press association. that's been k.j. matthews who has the latest from los angeles k.j. and other big winner of the night tell us a little bit more. yes you know it seemed like it was happening here in los angeles but it felt like a british academy awards really it really was a great night for the brits the crown that beloved show on netflix took home 4 awards for best actress best actor best supporting actress and best drama all

around so people cannot get enough of the crown every year they seem to really skate in and steal those awards so a big night for the crown. also another really big topic and we have to mention this diversity came up again this year let's hear what the host had to say about the hollywood foreign press association and get your reaction oh you know this is probably something we should've told you guys earlier everybody is understandably upset at the h s p a and their choices look a lot of flashy garbage got nominated but that happens ok that's like their thing but a number of black actors and black lead projects were overlooked and look we all know that award shows are stupid yeah they're all a scam invented by big red carpet to sell more carpet we tell them what is even a stupid things inclusive it is important and there are no black members of the hollywood foreign press i realize it's f.p.a.

maybe you guys didn't get the memo because your workplace is the backbone of a french mcdonalds but you've got to change that. i mean they're poking fun out of it it's really a serious issue where was where was the barometer on diversity of this year. you know it was really interesting a lot of people in their acceptance speeches did kind of dance around the fact that there is not enough diversity inclusion within the hollywood foreign press association in fact the group called time's up that you may recall was created 3 years ago shortly after the harvey weinstein incident basically released a statement minutes after this award show ended tonight saying it's all cosmetic and that they don't think that the hollywood foreign press association really understands that diversity needs to be front and center and this putting black people on stage to present awards will not solve that problem so they still have a long way to go to convince people in hollywood particularly people of color that

they are dedicated to making their ranks very diverse ok so progress report is that there is still more work tell us what were the memorable moments of the night for you. oh man i just love jane fonda she used her acceptance speech to accept the cecil b. demille award to talk about all of the people of color that should have been nominated for all the films that included people of color that she felt should have been nominated so she took the spotlight off of her for accepting the award and put it on the people who she thought should have gotten more recognition and that which is really great people really clapped and just love that of course we love the fact that there was history made with andre de she's a singer she's in the united states versus billie holiday and she took him on award in the best drama actress category now she's only the 2nd black woman to win that award and for this role she had to lose 40 pounds so she definitely made history

she's now becoming a star in hollywood and of course you mentioned earlier chloe's out only being the 2nd female director to win and 1st asian women to win and so there were some small history moments with people of color at the awards tonight now ok casey mathews break it all down for us from los angeles thank you so much thank you. in the bun to say the leverkusen same deeper toward a crisis point with a loss to freiburg they are now without a win in the last 4 weeks and their coach is coming under intense pressure. like the coach paid of bush because and fans have been waiting more and more in patiently for the remote chance of the side to lead the league early in the season hosting freiburg the intent was there before not the execution tonight by the hands of florian miller several times they would pay the price in the 2nd tough when the visiting side chances came they were taken. and married into marriage gave freiburg

the lead in the 50th minute and it was to write on the alamo. when lucas hurler was just the right side of offside to make things very difficult political use and leon bailey she made left on the edge of the area to get things going in the right direction after a 70 minutes but it proved to be all of accuse and could muster. finish with pride to deserve $21.00 winners and eyeing the european places late accusing are still there just at the outlook is bleak. and in a battle between 2 clubs near the bottom of the bundesliga mind didn't do much wrong but still lost out the problem was that their one big error resulted in a very costly goal and mistake along 2 minds keeper robert st there who have not enjoyed this for a fly. this rogue past set up the game's only goal the last putting a dent in minds of survival hopes as they sit 2nd from the bottom. so

let's take a look at the table by iron nearly lead the league just 2 points ahead of life's a waltz for in frankfurt round out the top 4 while some of the big hitters continue to struggle in the bottom half stood guard are still going strong but things are looking bad for minds and even worse for shocker they fired their entire coaching staff and are 9 points away from safety. quick reminder of the top stories we're following for you here on t.v. up here is security forces in me on mar have used tear gas to disperse protesters in the city of young gong demonstrators gathered there and in other cities despite a violent crackdown by the military over the weekend that has reported to have killed at least 18 people. up next on news our science magazine tomorrow today and a look at the potential impact of genetically modified plants on climate change and
