you know, cetera money for hong kong that this trip out of the most important thing forward at the preston auto observers and for the partition that she, she is your opinion, giving a very important speech on beijing's policy of hong kong. and basically he's going to are laid out some kind of instructions on how home co, we'll be rude, i'm debating brewing that coming 5 years or even longer. so he was set the tone of how hong kong is going to on to, to evolve. and what path of ho would take, especially put a piggly into way though to beijing is tied to improvement in hong kong and, and how beijing is going to control and how going and how may just go to reshape hong kong future. so that is the speech that we're monitoring. this is called establishment day and hong kong. what does that mean for hong kong? especially this year. yes,

the anniversary is a very important dave, hong kong, but apart from the official celebration in the past a decade. oh, more than the house, but that has been massive pro test on the trade. they are on the anniversary of hong kong past of july. but that was not any more a says the implementation of national security law, many of to protest group and act to this organization has been forced to disband because of the political pressure. so we're not seeing any massive protest today. i, in fact, even very small scale of protests, all a demonstration is banned and that the national security police has warned some individual acted as not to protest or even to confine the own apartments so,

so that they can not only go out of them hotman and cannot host any kind of activities today, so there must be a here on the ground is, is pretty intense despite the celebrated and the fear that we're feeling from the authorities, w's t, v, kong, hong kong, thank you. the u. s. supreme court has ruled that america's environmental protection agency does not have the authority to limit greenhouse gas emissions from coal fired power plants. the ruling by the courts. conservative majority marks a set back in the by the ministrations fight against climate change. it means the white house will now have to work through a deeply divided congress in battle to curb emissions another week. another u. s. supreme court ruling with far reaching consequences. this one concerns coal fired power plant and the extent to which the u. s. environmental protection agency

can force them to cut emissions. the court ruled that the agency is not authorized to make decisions with such economic and political implications. today the court put the fossil fuel industries and interests over the over their own people. and that is, that's actually horrible. there is so much consensus right now that the climate crisis is our number one issue and the fact that we're already not doing enough. u . s. president joe biden wants to make the u. s. a leader on climate change. the plan was to make electricity generation carbon neutral by 2035, but that depended on having the environmental protection agency behind it. instead, the court says it's now up to congress to pass climate laws, but support for biden. there is far from assured or washington correspondent to me

soon was gonna has this analysis and why it may now be impossible for the might of the biden administration to reach its climate targets. it is hard to overstate the importance of this ruling from the supreme court. it severely limits the e p, a, the environmental protection agency from regulating emissions from power plants. the supreme court saying here, congress did not give a federal agency the right to regulate on big issues like climate change and that power must rest with congress. but climate legislation isn't getting anywhere in congress where such legislation has been gridlocked. one of the very 1st things president biden did when entering office was to rejoin the paras climate agreement . he has made ambitious targets, part of his administration's plans committing to reducing emissions by at least 50 percent this decade. the us still really rely on fossil fuel power plants. they make up about a 4th of us greenhouse gas emissions. so the ability to rein in that production is very important to president by climate plans and its ability to use the executive

power has been key. so severely restricting the ability of the e p a to act is going to be a big blow to president biden. and his attempts to make progress on global warming . and this all comes, i should say, at the countries witnessing devastating weather patterns of scientists attribute to global warming. things like massive heat waves, a droughts, wildfires, and flooding. and the disappointment can be sent beyond the u. s. as well. the united nations are saying today in a statement that it doesn't provide commentary on issues in the individual member states, but said quote, we can say that this is a set back in our fight against climate change. when we are already far off track meeting the goals of the parish agreement, so blow a generally to global efforts to curve global warming. now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world. the remains of the independent hero of the democratic republic of congo. patrice the member, have been buried more than 60 years after his death. limbo was assassinated in 1961

anger over the rising cost of living. 5 civilians and one soldier have been killed in the unrest. joining us now from kiddos dw correspondent johan ramirez, johan, could you tell us more about why these protest broke out? what were they demanding? last night i interviewed the only this isa who is the lead there of indigenous people on the man who was in front of this nationalist tried. i asked him the same question and he's humorous, he's answering to words, poverty and inequality, poverty, an inequality. i mean, that was the background of these crisis since the beginning of the nationalist, right? indigenous people were demanding than measures to the government in order to improve the economic off the situ at the effect um economic situation of the country. such as reducing the, the price of fuel, reducing oil le, exploitation,

and mining in their territories, increasing budget for education. and health, establishing a price control for good basic goods. and i, i mean 10 main measures because i, i mean they, they needed this in order to improve their, their situation. but the background is poverty. i mean, in rural areas, according to official figures, poverty can reach up to 50 percent off to 30 relation in other parts, even 70 percent of the population. and indigenous people are especially hidden by this problem. that's why they took this rates for almost for 18 days. actually a nationalist, right? they finally ended today. so severe poverty in ecuador, but does this deal address all of their demands? not indeed, i mean, and they weren't demand in 10 measures and the government mets barely half of them

. and just to give you an example, reducing the price of fuel, doug, that was one of the main demands they were asking for. and they were asking to reduce that the price of fuel by 50 cents, 50 cents per gallon. and the government finally reduced it by $0.15 is a big difference. i mean, in practical terms, in me it means for an average taxi driver in kito say been $3035.00 per month. that is not. that is not enough. i mean, is not going to change the economic situation of ecuador. yes, but at the end of the day, i think that it, that the indigenous people didn't have much space to negotiate with the government . it was a very long nationalist strike. 18 days. it cost of the cut, according to the government marg. now $500000000.00 in losses. to this tate, i paralyzed the business like this of many seat is here in keith. it was very

difficult. so i think that everybody was exhausted and wanted the solution, and that's why they finally sanity securities. better done than nothing maybe for the indigenous people. you know, the is johann ramirez reporting from quito, ecuador, thank you. of the nato ended nato and it had summit to day with a tougher line on russia and a promise to increase true presence in europe. the meeting in spain also concluded with 2 countries, finland and sweden officially invited to become members of the military alliance. pomp and pageantry in madrid. leaders of the 30 nato member states have tightened ranks against russia as an attack on one is attack at all and we will defend every edge of nato territory. every edge of nato territory, for our part,
