it's very hard to predict there is a lot of controversy around these this emergency ordinance the lawmakers who took to the courts. are taking to the court today they say it's unconstitutional the weirds of the peculiar thing about hong kong law is that there was no constitution when this law was introduced in the 1920 s. common law or the like britain did not hong kong did not have a constitution now it has a basic law i mean the constitution as they call it and there is these lawmakers are contest ing whether this emergency law is constitutional and whether it is constitutional to introduce it without consulting the legislative council because kerry has introduced it on executive powers and that of course is have really constitute controversial we do not know how the courts will rule this is the 1st i met is billing it for us in hong kong thank you so much. and now let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world north korea has broken off talks with the u.s. over its nuclear program young officials blame blame the u.s. inflexibility for the collapse of the nego
