won overwhelmingly by the pro-democracy candidates. 80% plus with the district council, small level cies. but now the legislative council elections following on the heels of the national security law, whether it is polarizing or not, it is not that welcome here because it does take away many people's rights that were enshrined into basic law. many of the pro-democracy candidates have expected to, you know, still get that momentum from the district council elections and also the anger toward the national security law, and being swept into september 6. at least 12 candidates have been disqualified, with the potential of more, and the reasons why they have been toast qualified -- have been disqualified, election officials said they could not determine that these candidates would give their full pledge of support to the basic law or to the national security law. so therefore they have been disqualified. of thewong, the face antigovernment protests over the last year, he had a press conference and he says this is the most scandalous election fraud in the history of hong kong. so it is yet

unofficial election so most of the day they found a station love set up on the both sides are at district council is all business all the shops who are in favor of the protest so we see and i filled out to people are lining up on the stand so they have time no is likely higher than expected like for organized sex as well so they believe this could be a race i was all like a warning off the government that we also spoke to some of the protests right here right here that they expect someone from science that they think yeah this might be the last chance but i'm too boyce their anger at this content to the government so despite the new national security also they still turn out to all like to cast their votes as the chestnut you are expressed there is trust in the government we understand in hong kong police have searched the office of an independent political pollster what more can you tell us about that. while that process is to actually one of the main although i says all these primary election. 7 is that the the polling institute sees are the one in shot off set up setting up the most other poll

that led to overwhelming victory for the pro-democracy camp in district council elections last novemberwhat a difference a year makes and what a difference the backing of beijing has given carrie lam. a year later, carrie lam is quite forceful and today postponing those legislative council elections, which the pro-democracy camp had high hopes for having a similar victory like they had in district council elections last november. that is all for naught because they will be postponed within a year and it comes within 24 hours of 12 legislative council candidates pro-democracy -- pro-democracy candidates disqualified for various reasons , including not supporting the law. a big power play by carrie lam. kevin: our thanks to the indefatigable stephen engle. be sure to catch bloomberg tv's one hour special hong kong on edge at 7:00 tonight and airing throughout the weekend. sticking with china, i spoke with tony blinken, joe biden for president senior policy advisor as well as the former national security advisor under president obama under how a new administration might handle the mounting

also five district council members. is in support of the hong kong secession. another is a liaiaison with forereign government. joshua wong has had a number of high-profile meetings with members of u.s. congress. nancy pelosi encouraged her to support sanctions on hong kong. another is in opposition to the national security law. one disqualified candidate was speaking out against opposition to the national security law. the hong kong government issued a prepared statement that supportetethe returning opposition. that opposition was to spare you from running in the election. this is something the hong kong government has been doing regularly since 2016. theyey had been pressed into action to find people unworthy of election on technicalities. notgovernment says s it does interfere e with freedom of exesession. depriving people of running for election in this way is quite possibly unconstitutional under hong kong's basic law. annette: what will be the fallout of this movie? -- move? theer: we're not sure if election in september will go ahead. there are rumors th

there e could be a repeat of the district council elelection whih was won by a landslidede by the pro-democracy camp. that prorobably would not be as crusushing a victoto this time. this time they are elelected bya look to proportion. --defininitely does smell spell a big challenge for r the pro-dedemocracy camp in order to regroup over the last year and they migight actually find that theyey will take extraparliamentary means to do that. oliver, thank you very much. the u.s. president donald trump is under fire for that from members of his own party after he floated the idea of postponing november's election because of the coronavirus.. he has attacked the idea of postal voting can -- insisting someuld lead to fraud and critics say he is trying to undermine the results. the publicans reassured voters the election will take place in november as planned. >> hours after setting off a political fire --firestorm by suggesting november's elections should be delayed, he clarified he is not looking to change the date but repeated false claims that widespread male-in ballots would lead t to electoral f

opposition says they want to stop them from winning a majority that they did very well in last year's district councilndidates waiting to hear back about their nominations, but some of them are also from the civic party and of them are allies. since the government has specifically said that it does not —— it's not ruling out qualifications, some believe they could be disqualified as well. more broadly, just look at the idea of protesting if you're angry you get these proposals or whatever. where does this lead people who want to oppose the authorities? where does this lead people who want to oppose the authoritie57m certainly going to be interesting to see what happens in hong kong in the weeks going forward because the opposition in parliament will be weekend, even if the elections go ahead and they when the seats. while it is still legal to protest in hong kong, journalist there have noticed people have become a lot more cautious since they say the national security law is quite vaguely defined. police have said that certain protest is —— charges are illegal. some people held up white sheets of pape

organizers have had to become very creative about this in trying to push forward this process 3 district councils here in fact and if you're wondering why i'm at a bus station they harden a bus to use as a polling station that that red and yellow bus you see behind me and so they say they can circumvent a lot of the issues by doing certain things like this by being creative and using certain means that perhaps the government or the probate camp would not have envisioned originally. and to what extent even if the democrats make a big win september elections how far does that go to altering the balance of power between beijing and hong kong. right so the whole point of these primaries is so that the democratic camp can consolidate their support and eventually when $35.00 or if not more than $35.00 of the 70 seats at the legislative council elections and september and that is that prospect that beijing will not be happy with because it means that their support within the legislature would lessen the question now though is even if they do win those seats or even they managed to get through these prim

here in hong kong so i feel like i need to explain exactly where i am behind me and so that we district council hired to circumvent any issues for instance last minute pulling out a venue or even the earth or to say that they're not allowed to hold these ballots in certain areas and so people have been coming here to cast their ballots on the spot not all you've got as you can see behind me many people are taking pictures so it's a great promotion for these elections but it's by no means a done deal even if these elections go smoothly yes the democratic camp is still facing a lot of issues particularly due to the vagueness of that national security law. the philippines congress has refused to renew the operating license of the country's biggest fraud cost what rights groups are calling a dark day for press freedom they say it's part of a broader crackdown on dissent in a country already considered one of the most dangerous places in the world to journalists john allen dogood reports from manila. the resolution to deny a.b.c.'s franchise of legation is here but adopted it is seen as a crushing b

of that the polling stations for this primary campaign also which had been in many shops and district council offices are suddenly under threat because landlords say that they're not allowed to hold these primaries in these venue's and then on top of that there's the new corrupt search and corona virus but as he said the biggest issue here is a national security law and people are worried that if they do participate will they be breaking a law and so this national security law already is showing its impact on what we saw as hong kong's democratic movement and the fight and the uphill battle that they will have in the run up to these elections ok debian thank you very much to correspond of the reporting live for us this hour hong kong. the turkish president says the 1st prayers will be held inside his stand. on july 24th after he signed a decree formally restoring the landmark status as a mosque but it's hours after a court ruled the monuments conversion from a mosque to a museum in 1934 was illegal you know sco had already cautioned against changing the status of this world heritage site and
