i was tanya kramer reporting from jerusalem. here's a quick look now at some of the other stories we're following for you today to and guinea and explosion, add an oil terminal and the capital o'connor cree has left dozens injured, unclear if there are any casualties authorities. i've ordered schools to close and urged workers to stay home. it happened in the early hours of monday. the cause of the fire has not yet been disclosed. in australia, hundreds of people have been evacuated as flood waters in update the northeast, the raging waters shut down in the airport and washed a crocodile into a town. severe weather warnings are in place with more rain forecast. authorities say damage is already in the hundreds of millions of europe. south korean and japanese officials say north korea has fired. what appears to be a long range ballistic missile into the sea of japan is believed to be north korea,

2nd ballistic missile launch in less than 24 hours. john young has conducted a record number of missile tests this year in violation of un sanctions to hong kong. now the trial has begun for media and mobile and pro democracy active as to rely. he's accused of conspiring with foreign forces under a strict security law imposed by china. the 76 year old was arrested more than 3 years ago during a crackdown on hong kong is pro democracy movement. lead time to come to a couple more years ago. it was the day you do me lie. new was coming. on august the 10th 2020 police made the media and local watch as they rated the offices of his newspaper apo daily. early in the morning he was arrested on charges of violating hong kong is national security low. his newspaper was defiant, apo daily must fight on the headline. that fights continued only for another

year until hong comes largest pro democracy paper was forced to shut down. people cute tobias last edition which month to the end of an era for press, freedom of a to lie himself, smoked free on bales. but it was clear that he was in the cross has a vision you mean by aging. he told the domain news, he would stand and fight. i was sitting with the ship because this praise gave me everything. you know i, i didn't death to this phrase. i'm very grateful for the what these skip football is pretty, that's good to be. i'm said to be free, all most so may be is a payback time jimmy lie slight mainland china for hong kong. at the age of 12, he began working on the flow of a government factory and they ended up in charge of a closing end to media empire. like many who rose to the top in hong kong ly chose not to stay quiet. he became

a leading voice in the pro democracy movement to hong congress. he is a hero, but beijing sees him as a threat. in december 2020 lai was sentenced in 86 years for fraud charges. his support to say were politically motivated. you could now face a life sentence under the national security law. his family size of ethics is a full gone conclusion. i have no confidence that the trial will be fired in any uh, any form and there's a, there's 3 coming to the point of judges. and there's no jury they the security minister boasted of a 100 percent conviction, right. so, so this is not going to be if i drop this, i don't think there's any, a thought about a china cmc time in to make an example of the outspoken media tycoon which it might only make him a malta for hong kong pro democracy movements are in this town is another pro

democracy active as, till recently left hong kong for canada. she says she may never return. earlier i asked her why she made the decision to leave i was a rest a 3 years ago on the national security law in hong kong. and my pastor was being confiscated and i had to report to the police station regularly. even i was not being charged even until now i was not being charged. and so that's why in the beginning of this year, i applied to police that i would like to study my master's degree, canada. and after my application, i underwent several times of interpretations and i was being forced to even to do something. i don't want to do like, for example, to write a dependence letter saying that i would grad, a dissertation officer should move been in hong kong. at was even for us to go to the mainland china for began to trip. and these kinds of, you know,

the trip and the letters. they are not something that is, it's in any part of his law and he'll call them. and now i'm studying my masters degree in an, in canada, and i decided not to go back in the coming chamber originally. i have to go back and to come in december, and in the end of this month to, for a report. but if i go back, that would be a high risk that i would not be able to come back to canada again, because the police could always confiscate people's and profit documents without giving any concrete results. and they could even request require me to for see some of the requirements again, just like before for example, go to the mainland china again. so i, that's why i decided not to go by. do you feel safe on canada now? safely? can you feel so? yeah, oh so yeah, i or i would say that of cause his favor in canada then in hong kong,

but it's not 100 percent because there was a lot of news reporting that there are chinese secret police in canada actually live in canada, but also in the united states of japan and then a freeze. so i'm afraid that the, you know, the chinese secret police would kind of do something on me. but still i paint because i want to live freely. so that's why i would try to do what i can do here. i will speak what i can speak of here. do me lie, is the latest pro democracy figure to go on trial in hong kong. you've been able to leave, but many people are still there. what's the situation like in hong kong for activists right now? well, i would say under the national security law, there is no longer any room for any kind of opposing opinion against the government

. there is no longer any or freedom of speech. so human lives cases office, the one of the top posts that even a media has to be under the control of the chinese government asked um it's also approve of a total destruction of our country to systems and freedom of speech. and you would just like to rely, were accused of colluding with foreign forces. what do you say to these accusations? well, i would say that i like to be honest until this moment i have no idea why am i rested up because of this case? so it says, so it says exactly how the, how come as far as the suppression and some of the political dissidents that they are making of accusations. and they, using the national security law as a political to, to suppress all people from telling the truth. yeah,

under these circumstances, what does the future look like for beijing? critics like do me like like other activists that you know or still there what, what does the future hold for them? well it's uh, it's hard for me to say as a hong kong or it's cost, it's very sad to see the outcomes. no longer comma gay. it's very sad to see that our one concrete 2 systems of freedom ups, the a real full, i've been destroyed by a chinese a far cheap. so i'm from my experience and also from the stories of many active it's in how call. we can see that hong kong, so are too small south to the mainland china style, way of how to intimidate how to suppress political dissidents and how they're used to power. and this is what i really worried about. as hong kong pro democracy
