luxury to hello pads, a swimming pool and a waterfall. it's all in those. the $500000000.00 node has been anchored in hong kong water for over a week after the journey from russia. york belongs to russian oligarch, alexi water shop, who was sanctioned by the u. s. the u. k. and the e. u. after russia invaded ukraine. he has close ties, the law to be putin over a dozen super yours, owned by russians have been seized in the last month, including mortar shops, lady m in italy, back in march. the u. s. is building hong kong authorities to also take action. the possible use of hong kong as a safe haven, bye individuals evading sanctions from multiple jurisdictions further calls into question the transparency of the business environment. but hong kong said there is no legal basis to face known. it would be different if it was the un that had sanctioned model shelf. we will comply with any united nations

resolution on sanction. because hong kong has the legal basis to enforce it. and we will comply with united nations sanctions. that is our, our system. that is our real law. we cannot do and we will not do anything that has no legal basis. russians have been fleeing west on sanctions by docking the yard snail. countries that continue to have diplomatic ties with them, like turkey, the furious that hong kong to have joined the ranks. we have journalists fee because joining us from hong kong, phoebe what's the story with the super? yeah. i mean, does it want to stay long term in hong kong, or is it just passing through? well that remains, the biggest mysteries are so fi that is the biggest questions that f in the want to at want to know that that originally of the super yard was reportedly heading to

viet nam from russia in late september. but unexpectedly ended up talking in hong kong here in the hong kong waters and on but according to the official protocol there marine department in hong kong and has 2 records every ship's entry and had parked and departure in and out hong kong water. so up beyond doubt, the super yard got they permission from the hong kong government when they arrived in hong kong waters. but according to public records, there is note a clear sign of how long it will stay in hong kong. what has and, and, and more essentially the purpose office arrival. so on that remains, one of the most like closely watched points among observers. now, hancock's leader john lee says there's quote, no legal basis. she sees the yacht. so what is hong kong position on international sanctions? it seems to be saying something there,

existing laws in hong kong requiring the hong kong government to enforce united nations sanctions. so which is the, the, essentially the legal basis to which john lee is referring. when he talks about that, hong kong he's not going to follow up, like other unilateral sanctions imposed by other jurisdictions, the hungry is only up to 2 is only to follow the end united nations sanctions. that is what the government's ends are right now, but are actually the, the, the government and business society as a whole. hong kong is caught in the dilemma r regarding this incident. because like this a period is actually not that welcomed by a business as are including local and international business as an even political sectors. because hong kong has been on hasn't been involved in. they are ukraine, russia war tension since the war started. and so on. the government is trying to allah, keep the incident low profile, but what has changed and certainly is that now the government is

a light opening on say, a kind of the rhetoric site is not going to follow the u. s. sanctions night. obviously the attitude has changed because of the worsening relationship with the blessed. now, i'm curious, i mean, i understand hong kong has pretty strict quarantine and tree rules. it's changing, but since the war on ukraine has the city seen an uptick of say, russian ex pats to hong kong and also russian investments. i'm not quite sure how the sanctions work there one time. so stay at our we haven't seen like a very pretty, it's a very all the, it's a search in a capital and our personnel over the past few months since the war began. but on the, the interest of like, do increase like, according to some law, friends in hong kong and some of financial like deal as a hong kong. they sat, the,

the more and more russian companies are inquiring on the, about how to move the at says dos she, if that accompanies or to raise capitalist in hong kong. because they regard hong kong as a rather like saver shelter compared to other international financial hub. but, but that also is a, is not really easy to, to realize we, we can say is perfectly read it difficult because it is facing like a step back from, from the local financial saying that they worry about. like if hong kong cooperates with brush and companies that will like albert, hong kong 2 are offered economic downturn. got it. cd com, thanks so much for joining us. ah, winter is rapidly approaching in india and with the colder months come smog season in the capital deli, a toxic cocktail, a vehicle exhaust fumes,
