very much for being with us claudia so let me ask you 1st how you know you view this message from carry lamb she is trying to be reassuring well this speech perceived as reassuring by hong kong residents. in the reassuring ships i'm afraid carrie learn has completely lost trust amongst the hong kong people of course she would need to be send what beijing wants to do with hong kong that she's doing it beijing's. beijing being her the real boss not the hong kong people now who actually say today attack the foreign politicians who adopting double standard because they too in western societies and countries have national security laws so what's the problem she wouldn't say. that in say a proper a morton western society there are proper saturation of how worse with checks and balances and they have grown fast press and on lying the internet to discussions the she will issue with all of that and say you have got it too so what's wrong with us now getting one right calling they are not a national security law. yet the truth is that we really don't know much about these laws yet there are a lot of d

claudia mo is a pro-democracy member of hong kong's legislative council here's her reaction to carry lamb speech as she was being intellectually dishonest oh she was saying that only a handful would be affected well i mean hong kong has a population of 7500000 people and our n.t. government protested since last june the whole notion yeah now they can rest at that we're no more than 10000 people so if you look at the numbers. the arrestees of a very small amount but that's not the point the point is they are claiming beijing is claiming complete jurisdiction over hong kong and they can do whatever they want because beijing has now realised that too many gaping homes and their version of the one country 2 systems in hong kong the hong kong story the homes being that to hong kong people it turns out actually enjoy freedoms and rights to protest to criticise to complain to want some change and they think in beijing they think they've had enough of this and they're cracking down on us it's the piri heart breaking trend in hong kong technically we can come up with say no to anything because if

so there's a lot of unknown things at the moment that the people here in hong kong want to now carry lamb as you saw in that video clip you played just a moment ago was putting on a display of unity on friday night standing with her cabinet members and other advisors to stress that actually hong kong remains very open for business and that it's autonomy is being protected and in fact this new security law she stresses is going to be a further protection for foreign investors here in hong kong but of course on friday as we saw adrian the stock market didn't like the news very much it fell more than 5 percent that is the largest for we've seen on the hang seng stock market in 5 years other sort of anecdotal reaction i can bring you is there's been a surge in internet interest in v.p.n. zen owners virtual proxy networks and basically this is a device very popular among foreigners in the mainland that helps you get round the the censorship algorithms and so that is becoming very popular in hong kong also there has been a a big spike in people visiting and consulting migration officials people

we heard from carrie lamb who praised and welcomed the law. claudia mo said this. this marks the beginning of a sad and traumatizing era for hong kong. they have practically taken away our souls. beijing argues this law is necessary to fill a loophole because of unrest and violence we have seen over the last year because of the hong kong protests. among many people, including the protest movement, there is all out anger. we have seen a number of protests break out in the last week alone leading to mass arrests. 360 people arrested on wednesday. on sunday, 180 people arrested as we witness scenes like this one. police officers in the causeway bay district, full riot gear on making arrests on the street. these people have been arrested on charges like offensive weapons possession or unauthorized protests. once this security law sweeps its way to hong kong, they could be arrested on far more serious charges like secession, sedition, foreign interference. back to you, laura. >> christi, thanks so much. i know there are interesting potential economic implications. >> ab

. >>> hong kong leader carrie lamb says new laws won't trample on her city's rights and lamb is callingne to wait to see the details of the legislation before judging it. let's go live to hong con. anna, you had a chance to ask lamb about this directly. what did she have to say? >> reporter: good day. i asked if people would be allowed to express their opinions. freedom of speech and freedom of expression. she said basically that those protests that take place in hopping congress that are legal will be allowed. the problem, christine, is that protests in hong kong are no longer legal. i was out there on the weekend. thousands turned out to protest the national security law and police showed zero tolerance. 190 people were arrested. now it just gives you an idea to what is in store for hong kong. this new law will ban sedition, secession, foreign interference basically criminalizing the protest movement. we have to remember it has ruled the streets of hong kong since last june but the people here are still planning to fight for their freedoms, fight for their rights, if you like. we're e

now we spoke to carrie lamb today. she held a weekly press conference. she's the executive. can the rights and freedoms that hong kong people have enjoyed for years, will they still be allowed to go out and protest on the streets? freedom of speech and freedom of expression, she said as long as the protests are legal. the issue is police are not issuing permits for these protests so these protests are considered unlawful assemblies. now as you can see, this water barrier behind me, that stretches around the entire complex of ledgeco. police are expecting thousands of protesters to come here in protest of the national anthem bill that is being debated inside ledgeco. if enforced, that will mean mocking or insulting china's national anthem here in hong kong will be a crime. people will be fired. people can end up in jail. thousands of people are expected to take to the streets, a city wide strike is also expected but we are also hearing that 3,000 police will be deployed around the city. as i say, those scenes that we saw on sunday where police show zero tolerance to the prote

more about the situations in hong kong is good news lot of relief then no doubt what else about carrie lamb's measures. that's right well the press conference was named the hope on the horizon press conference and it was aptly named because the government and kerry lamb said that they were very confident that hong kong had stabilized its corona virus outbreak enough to be able to ease some of those very strict measures that have been in place for weeks so starting from this friday groups of up to 8 people will be able to gather in public and they'll be able to eat together for example in restaurants previously that maximum group number was for also some key venue some key businesses will finally be able to reopen that includes jims cinemas and fears has some bars as well as beauty parlors and finally they also announce some opening dates for schools which many families have been looking forward to so starting from the 27 older high school kids will be able to attend school but they won't be all at once younger high school students as well as primary school students will be able to resume clas

will cooperate with beijing's plan to introduce a new national security law as soon as possible carry lamb says the legislation will not affect the rights and freedoms of residents in outside has be condemned by pro-democracy activists who say beijing wants to impose its will on the semi autonomous territory. well here's why it's considered controversial by many in hong kong the territory is governed under a one country 2 systems rule that defines its relationship with beijing until 2047 guaranteeing rights and freedoms for hong kong as in 2003 an attempt by the hong kong government and that act in national security law was met by widespread protests and the bill was like the shelves now china has bypass the territories they just later and proposed a national security bill directly to the national people's congress that bill ends to prevent subversion foreign interference what's described as terrorism massive often violent protests hit hong kong for months last year the congress was also dominated by beijing's plans to repair the economic damage from the coronavirus pandemic in a highly un

well carrie lamb's government has been extremely unpopular particularly over the course of the last year with its handling of the extradition bill and now these new developments they will continue for as long as beijing keeps them there because they're effectively carolan as is beijing's puppets and beijing's representative in hong kong rather than hong kong's leader and representative to beijing but she certainly doesn't have the support of the people given the fact that the protests that we saw in the latter part of last year caused a great deal of damage and also they've been accused the protesters have been accused of undermining confidence in hong kong's economy and the meetings of the legislative council have been continually disrupted to what extent do you think the protestors themselves bear song sort of responsibility for the severity of the response that china is giving now. i think overall the weight of responsibility lies on kerry land and on the central government in beijing they have promises that they should uphold under the terms of the sino british joint declaration and

nudging by brian lamb, agreed to televise the house of representatives gavel-to-gavel without commentary, and c-span was born. we stay with a mandate and it is funded by our affiliates who carry programming around the country to the tune of about $60 million per year. a staff of 260 people to bring you the house, senate, white house, and maybe someday the supreme court. wouldn't that be a good thing to get their sessions televised? when we were thinking about how to celebrate our 40th anniversary, the idea came to do this book on the presidents. the reason is it allowed us to bring together two very significant resources. first of all, we wanted to engage readers of the book in a dialogue as we head into the 2020 campaign. it serves the purpose of showing what we do is c-span but also for those interested in public policy as we look to elect a leader in 2020. there are two resources involved in the publication. first of all, the archives of our interviews, mostly done by brian lamb for his programs, we have had the opportunity to work with the best contemporary historians in the u.s., to give us their scholarship to share with you. you can recognize some of the names up there

lambs and write a couple of regulations. they slither. they retire. you don't see them again. so, the real culprits never get caught. and the institution carries on.dent trump has promised me personally several times we're going to find out what really went on and how high up it went. and what looks to me like happened is that it was the senior levels of the fbi, certainly comey. he bragged about sending an agent to the white house to try to trick flynn. so, certainly comey, the deputy director mccabe, certainly him, but how much higher did it go? was it the attorney general? was it susan rice? national security advisor to president obama? was it vice president biden? was it president obama himself? i think those are the people that i am looking at. what did they know? when did they know it? if they are clean, fine. but if they are not, let's find out what really happened. in my opinion. go ahead. pete: in your opinion, please, i shouldn't have cut you off right. >> there in my opinion a kabul of senior people in the obama administration in the intelligence community to get rid of trump. stop him dead in his tracks and to make sure he didn't have
