based in hong kong for decades it has been advocating for labor rights across asia holcombe has been a popular hub for thousands of local and international n.g.o.s but a new law means many are now we considering their options there's a lot of them banqueting we don't know do you mean by some how may be called where foreign forces because we have stuff from overseas under this law we why then sure like how it will impact even the safety or in the windows staff or wallace to fret us to if we continue to receive foreign funding we have to somehow p. pair their worst scenario down we may also consider to move to. other countries. beijing has played down the last intact saying in nearly plans to strengthen the management of n.g.o.s and are all the nice asians in hong kong. even though is doing clear how the security will be implemented activists and efficacious here will have to be where they face a rocky road. was. and one of those activists is joshua wang one of the most recognizable faces in the hong kong for democracy movement a democratic syria march and began by asking mr wong what

electors to back the candidate who got the most votes in their state our white house correspondent kelly holcomb has more. in short it may surprise a lot of people around the world to know that when you cast a ballot for a particular candidate it doesn't necessarily mean even if your candidate wins the popular vote that candidate is going to win the election in fact we saw this in 2016 hillary clinton won the popular vote but it was donald trump that won the white house why because he had the most electoral college votes essentially what this means is that if your state has rules in the case of the supreme court ruling in the case of these so-called faithless electors who didn't necessarily agree with the popular vote and wanted to cast a ballot in different direction they can't do that that's what the supreme court is saying it's saying if your state has rules about how you cast your ballot then you have to follow those rules now the case came up because in 2016 there were 4 different so-called faithless electors and colorado state and washington state who had a designated party they were to ca

some states and localities even tried to take a much harsher route like indiana where governor eric holcomb wanted to make wearing a mask a class b. misdemeanor punishable by up to 6 months in jail 6 months so much more renewed commitment to criminal justice reform lucky for indiana residents members of their coal comes old party publicly questioned in criticize the complies ation of not wearing a mask as excessive punishment republican sheriffs even refused to enforce the mandate and with mounting pressure from fellow republicans who want back his push for jail time where's the wearing a mask is an important covert 19 preventative measure do these types of mandates and fines go too far. it's hard to say i think maybe right now but i mean down the line i hate to say there's we're down the line if things really keep spiraling out of control when it comes to covert then you have to look at that however criminalizing mask wearing is not it's one thing for you know a city or state to say. we need you to wear this it's criminalizing it's a whole other thing because as you and i both know i'm sur

of preventing a global pandemic spread ok let me bring in our white house correspondent kimberly holcomb who's been following developments that statement there from might from peo seems fairly damning but does this close the door on the relationship between the u.s. and the w.h.o. . you know it really doesn't has a lot to do with the outcome of the u.s. election in november i mean look the paperwork's been filed the process is in place but here's what's notable this won't take effect for about one year july 6th 2021 as so what that means is that if we have a democrat in the white house next time around it's very likely that this will not happen in fact we know that democrats are firmly opposed at least on capitol hill to the united states pulling out of the world health organization they've called a short sighted they've called it dangerous and they're really concerned about what this will do to the united states sort of leadership role in the global sphere so expect that this could be turned around should joe biden become president but if donald trump wins reelection well the white hous

governor holcomb and dewynine. on a regular basis. we work together. we share ideas.iously we deal with somewhat different situations. i'm glad they made the decision they did. and regardless of when they made it. because it's going to make our whole region safer. now, my approach to this thing is it's not democrats versus republicans, it's americans versus the coronavirus and the more of us that are on the same page the better. the decision by those two states is going to make the whole ohio valley a safer place. >> we mentioned that the coronavirus unemployment benefits are about to run out. what are your residents telling you about that? >> our residents have significant concerns. our economy has been hit really hard by the coronavirus. and let's face it. this country is at war. it's at war with this virus. and like any war that we go through there are going to be some tough and difficult times to get through it. i want to make sure that we are there for our people during those times. and sadly we have an unemployment system in our state and in this country that wa
