6:03 pm
a joint statement claiming china's move would undermine the one country 2 systems policy that gives hong kong autonomy of ageing and says the policy would not be impacted and the issue is an internal affair. just don't go to the national security laws legislation on the special administrative region is purely china's internal affair and no foreign country has the right to intervene the chinese government is determined safeguarding national sovereignty security and development interest falling through the policy of one country 2 systems and opposing any external interference and one can refer to several big rallies have already been scheduled this week it is really quite clear because in the past year illegal protests liar to communists or. cream you know ministry of possession of legal reference were commonplace in this will call peaceful protests overall i think the whole government is acting very restrained anyone with the understanding
6:04 pm
of history or know that all the preconditions are carefully stage to help and to cover because the government and the chinese government can use stronger and stronger forces to stop the violence and restore order beijing has been extremely restrained in defining the new shoots unless it is absolutely needed beijing as make clear under the basic law however the military or power military could march into. to hong kong to calm any riots and apply national laws for arrest and do whatever that is needed to restore law and order of course americans vested interest groups in hong kong i really hate it it is all on the one mass of. the whole the protests it's one of the world like a question which all share some common source including same funding agency same hamburg's training techniques government support and the like the latest

russia's muslim community celebrated eed marking the end of ramadan fasting broad advised against going into mosques and other peoples' homes shortly before the holiday about to be approved and on the country's muslim leaders advised celebrating the holiday at home on the senior correspondent but i guess the if
6:07 pm
reports. it's a holiday it is a time of festivities there is a special prayer that can only be performed as part of the group so you go to a mosque or an open field and pray there obviously now that is out of the question but but the 2nd and no less aspect that ied was always the social aspect you would visit you would dress your best and visit friends visit family is it needless and give it's incredible but after a month of fasting and feeling what it's like for people who don't have enough to eat people are much more likely to give and commit acts of charity so all of that is being taken away people here in russia they they understand what in the stand a lot of quarantining russians generally not just muslims have taken it in stride and accepted the pandemic for the serious threat that it is helped of course but by
6:08 pm
officials and figures of authority and religious leaders telling people to stay home and be safe and knows including russia's u.f.c. champion little mohammed. in a few days it will be our religious holiday we're used to visit and other people receiving guests together have in the morning prayers now please don't do it now it's more important to save our lives and the lives of our own selves now literally people listen to the doctor's instructions they know better listen to those who know islam who say we should celebrate at home what's remarkable is that some countries have taken no measures for example you look at what's happening in pakistan in some places in israel and in palestine there's no rock doubtless you know it's business as usual as is usual so you have huge crowds congregating in packed mosques and people praying together other muslim countries that have been
6:09 pm
much more. serious about enforcing measures to combat the pandemic for example in jordan and turkey there are curfews people are not allowed out to prevent people from killing out there and celebrating even potentially getting infected in spreading the virus themselves said me a very unique student different response across the muslim world. and i have been just under 100000 deaths from cover to 19 in the united states making it the country yet the worst hit by the outbreak while restrictions are being eased the shocking reports continue on an overwhelmed health care system and failure to support those in need of help from one man who lost both his father and grandfather to the coronavirus he says it's down to shin negligent but. then the next day we found out that he tested positive for the corona virus same day that he was put on the ventilator my father my mother most of the super rich
6:10 pm
dry cost my dad has a fever starting fridays chest is tight so we take on the boma. and i expect there are routes when half hours he comes i would discharge paper stating that he just as bronchitis so out there is later steeper goes up so arguments so the lady at the church receiving hospital so he's better off wants to reach for every 4 take some to the back again my dad is there 3 hours comes same discharge papers so i really i just pushed him out the door week later raw april 6th 1140 my grandpa the hospital. so i go to sleep and rouse 630 the next morning susan one of my brother troy called screaming that adding a wake up. keith general believes if his that hadn't been turned away and was tested he may still be a life after his father died his mother then developed a high fever the local hospital refused to admit her so he took her to another
6:11 pm
clinic where she finally tested positive for coven. palm also has a prescription drug she got her doctor to test the code iris l.a. looks at the piece of paper gives it back from mom so my mother that there's another dish she could do for it at the hospital or will go home x. is if you have to cope at night because one likely you have it is what they were like you have it 'd but go home because there's nothing we could do for your drinks he drink tylenol take tylenol for your fever come back if you can't reach. the city of detroit where keith in his family live has experienced a high number of deaths largely being put down to the size of the black population which is around 80 percent. again thinks the authorities need to be held to account . just feel like my dad was close to the back of the line was getting the test because he was like he wants a basically hospital an all white neighborhood just looked out the door to go home lever was in control of my day when he went to the hospital i feel like she should
6:12 pm
be the person that's supply for his desk then look at him enough to tell him the door to give him a chance to get noticed. and then the government is well why were we prepare for this virus if you guys are certain season stays down at the economy why don't we have enough just to get what's best for the virus if it's that big of a. while are. a liar people being pushed on diets oh the come back to the hospital if you need is too late it. when the government and the oh health care system really failed the american citizens. paris is in the sky efforts to keep tabs on lockdown volunteers have been grounded that's all for cold ban the use of drones in the french capital for such surveillance shall advance case across the story. the view from above drew's sweeping across cities in france is part of police efforts not only to keep an eye on things but also to get
6:13 pm
a message across. you know all of. you know. that. it will get that message during lock down from the drones loudspeaker was a still mind to all that they needed permits to be outside all non-essential travel outside the home is a prohibited bait bellowed the drews had other uses too alerting the police to any unusual gatherings perhaps a more efficient way to monitor the streets or as george orwell once described it it was the police patrol snooping then began the fight back human rights groups had warned of a threat to personal privacy they took their case to court and they won.
6:14 pm
this is one of the drones were effectively being used illegally so this initiative was carried out by the police without any preliminary consultation with the national commission on liberty information and the state council therefore the state council has eliminated this flaw in the police system in order to prefecture to take all necessary measures to suspend the use of drones for now. well at least here in paris france is highest administrative court ruled that aerial drones can no longer be used to hate to track people flouting social distancing rules during the fight against 19 government officials and the paris police it's all good that they weren't trying to identify people but simply watch so that they knew where to send the patrols. technology helps but it's not enough human presence is the key thing adrenaline is not going to replace a police officer. but that didn't wash with the court given the risks
6:15 pm
abuser contrary to the rules for personal data protection the implementation of this private data processing on behalf of the state characterized as a serious and manifestly illegal infringement of respecting private lives in paris the drones have been brought back down to earth with the not so in other big cities such as must say nice where they are still in use but the human rights group behind this when i say there could be other challenges. do we really want technological police to monitor our beaches can france live without cameras flying over the beaches this is an issue that in my opinion should be put up for public and parliament terry discussion i repeat this practice is implemented with no prior consultation and. many liberty groups might also hope that this case can prove a starting point in other countries too. where the use of drones to monitor the
6:16 pm
public during the pandemic has become normalized. please. i mean. it's a win for right now but it could soon be overturned it's still within the government's power to issue a decree outlining the conditions of how police drones could be used in the future if that then gets approved by the national data privacy watchdog big brother will be back not just observing from the static surveillance cameras were all used to but from the heavens see and you may never even know that they were watching charlotte even ski altie paris it's
6:17 pm
a minute and becomes israel's 1st sitting premier in the dog about story and more after this break. you cannot be both with the yeah you know what. you know in the face of a pandemic in the face of the virus that spread so rapidly and so quickly
6:18 pm
throughout the global population you can't really think in the short run about changing people's underlying metabolic states one hopes that we can learn something from this to do in the long. to fill healthier lifestyles to create a more healthy planet. it's have you back with us the benjamin netanyahu has appeared in court on corruption charges it's the 1st time a sitting israeli prime minister has faced trial. reports. today's the attempt to depose me rights will reign it is against what the people
6:19 pm
who voted for want to know who made those remarks as he arrived at the jerusalem court there was a large crowd of supporters there to greet and encourage him but at the same time there was an equally large crowd in front of his house a powerful street in jerusalem protesting against him so he remains a deeply divisive figure and this remains a deeply divisive trial it is hugely important it is the 1st time that israel has a sitting prime minister who is facing criminal charges was still in office the spotlight will also be on the judicial and prosecution system now and the time now who has repeatedly insisted on his innocence he accuses his critics of orchestrating a witch hunt against him he initially requested not to be present at today's opening that the judges will that he had to be there in order to hear the charges and understand the charges that were being brought before him the rule is that a defendant is present for the reading of the indictment which is the opening of the trial this is the case in every criminal procedure including the current
6:20 pm
criminal procedure we didn't find in the explanations of the petitioner a reason to justify an exception to this rule the judge has ruled that netanyahu does not have to attend any more stations until evidence starts been brought forward now there were 333 witnesses on the roster the trial could take in excess of 3 years impacted slightly 2 and at the same time netanyahu needs to defend himself against charges of bribery fraud and breach of trust now there are 2 trials that are currently taking place one inside the court and one inside the media at this stage it is still too soon to say what will be the outcome but certainly if netanyahu is found guilty he could face several years in prison. as the case will turn to the country's political system. it's a pretty strong case so the prime minister can say it's a witch hunt is unprecedented it's a threat to democracy you know i think it's
6:21 pm
a 1st of all a test for israeli democracy the fact that a sitting prime minister is standing now on trial after a year and a half of political instability you know we have a system that will work this out it's certainly not you know i think in the long run it's not great to have this situation because there are many challenges on the other hand we forget that you know in in a democracy in a rule country of rule of law like this the defendant is innocent until proven guilty and he has a right to defend himself and he shouldn't be expected to resign from being prime minister because he's on trial because he may be innocent he has to prove that so there's a lot of new things in israel just as we have thought that it was unprecedented to have 3 elections in a year and were in chaos this just makes it even more chaotic more interesting but really more divisive i would say that's the key word at this point where we thought we finished the election process now the prime minister seems to be challenging the police the investigators the state attorney and even the judges and that's
6:22 pm
a very dangerous place that israel can be going towards because half the country is foreign it's and yeah 100 percent and maybe half or less of the country is against him and thinks that you know he should stand trial and has done something wrong so it's going to be very very interesting how this plays out both in court and in the court of public opinion. europe reporting a resurgence in coronavirus cases prompting fears of a minute imminent 2nd wave on monday china moved to play some 100000000 people in its northeast region of judenbach in lockdown some of the growing number of infection clusters being reported the move is a reversal from beijing's previous ableton the country to nearby regions have also put in protective measures. allow across europe countries have been cautious in relaxing very lockdowns favoring a phased approach and european businesses including small shops and hairdressers have reopened in some countries while schools and cultural sites have also begun
6:23 pm
opening their doors however italy and spain both reported a spike in clover 19 deaths on tuesday or countries such as germany reported an increase in post lockdown infections europe's top official has delivered a stark warning against under-estimating the threat of a 2nd wave. we know from history that in pandemics to countries that have not been hit early on can be hit in the 2nd week people think lockdown is finished nothing has changed the full disease control package has to be in place and my colleague you know neil put the issue of a 2nd world wide covert 19 waves up for discussion with a panel of experts. the cases of covert are being recorded particularly in china and cite korea which we know were among the 1st countries to tackle the pandemic is this going to be the sonority or for all countries lifting lockdowns now in the months to come lawsuit you already are people in the whole world are still on in fact and so they don't have any body used against them and these people if they all
6:24 pm
'd are in the situation of social distancing and the social behavior are changing begin to interact again and therefore the transmission of the virus would increase significantly a 2nd of it is inevitable social distancing in march something is going to be a reality for at least the next 612 months even if we get a vaccine but action on actually i think we need to get some sort of moment people need to go to work you know the pay for it so we have to stay on message just really confused people because the problem is people haven't been keeping a car rather than just staying out of money and that's not the solution the solution is to get back to work and get back to normal but it's not going to be normal like we had before will people just on a human level will people follow social distancing after a strictures are released do you think or will they become less cautious as the time goes by for a lot of us it becomes almost impossible to live our lives in the in those with a rather large and risk getting infected or contaminated by this particular
6:25 pm
virus because at the end of the day i think a lot of people realize that living on their long done condition is not only going to solution to anything but it is in polar bull in terms of can go can we expect medical systems to be ready for a 2nd wave. what can we do to soften the blow systems are still not ready for the 1st 2 anyone i mean if we look on to the infrastructure that is an acquired to tackle the 1st wave i mean it's still insufficient i mean we don't really see a scale of testing that is being done to me to get why does the author well you know what kind of strategy do you expect from governments in the case of a 2nd wave could they do this again or would it simply buy up the country. well i think it's already pretty close to bankruptcy in most western countries i think we've gone too far and it's why we can't afford a 2nd rate term nothing to bigger issue now at the moment let's take on the medical . part of it is at least bail out some of showing where whatever you want to call
6:26 pm
it a little come a point where. massive sort of defacement of our currency and you know interest rates are going to force through the roof governments not being able to pay their debts back and get matching inflation to start what's happened moment we seem to have just a one dimensional response that we must do everything possible to stay indoors must do everything possible in order to prevent us from being contaminated but at the same time we forget that if we go down the road in the one dimensional sense we end up giving up our lives and then we basically undermine the capacity of young people to flourish under these kinds of conditions any positive that in the coming months we would have a lot more better strategy used to control it but certainly this is a more political and environmental and side societal issue so it requires attacking animality skill level. despite many countries easing covert restrictions as like you to be some time before the situation returns to normal so i can tailor looks at
6:27 pm
how we're all about putting to our new world of social distancing. well 20 twentieth's been a shocker and it's only may are the beginning quarantine didn't seem so hot we thought a few weeks will sit who tweets of books catch up and that's thanks to a sprinkling such naive a to pretty quickly we've run out of things to do on the net i was briefly entertained by balcony deejaying and soon parties. but then the globe already so i moved on i even tried online dating not like usual thing but desperate times but it was fun for a while especially when my popularity skyrocketed off the advent prospect for those quarantine catfishes out but let's be honest screen life just doesn't compare to street life so when i had the countries like easing out of knocked out i almost
6:28 pm
choked on my disinfectant i know i had my 1st place quite an outfit but reality check in snow going to be like the full kiss is a thing of the past hugs forget it you know how chicks are under review also normal cheeky smile he got up passing on street on through that mask on the plus side you had just a way of being able to see or feel small when you tell him you love the bangs you know cross for those i develop patience because queuing is here to stay. and when your favorite restaurant reopens the path to some wine it changes.
6:29 pm
the company. or town. it's actually really nice super goes in i think it will be also very romantic or for couples are going to be here and you might have to go to extremes to make sure people you know keep that distance unless you still more ready to make them don't worry you won't believe me. unless you really do want to be knocked over men which case when our 1st guest david arrives today he's going to be well by his side and there's going to be a role for him to fall on it's going to go to school. well so you don't expect quite the same level of service is the full. face mask but. now i know lots of people all still hoping for that summit beach
6:30 pm
holiday while it might happen once a few adjustments of course and off to the beach you can still poppin says it all fairy friends just don't forget that take matter. and for all you race out i promise socially distance parties can still be a real hoot. the way they are. so yes it's a new normal but with a little imagination maybe a way to be hot oh and the fashion game has changed this is spring summer collection has got a distinct have magical twist to it so must stop alexa.
