-- could be coming with john lee.ave to address this record population decline, people have to articulate a clear vision for the city's covid strategy, but this is a man whose resume reads of security jobs, not business, not government policy. we will give him the benefit of the doubt given the highly unpopular tenure of carrie lam, but he will be asked to explain his agendas and government policies as soon as july 1. haidi: let's get you a check of the commodities complex when it comes to energy prices. look at the bti, trading in the early part of the asian session, rode off by 1.6% after we saw oil fall to the lowest since mid-march, we had international oil agency saying it would deploy 60 million barrels of oil from emergency reserves to bolster that historic release announced by the by the mr. risch and. -- announced by the biden administration. we are seeing a little bit of a recovery. gas futures up over just 1% viewed the u.s. pricing -- 1%. gasoline futures up by 1.4%. the iea adding 180 million barrel relea

john lee is the secretary — place in hong kong? john lee is the secretary for _ place in hong kong?or security. amid a collection of highly unpopular politicians, john lee is really uniquely unpopular. he has overseen hong kong's transformation from, really, global financial centre to basically pyongyang with better weather, unfortunately, and, really, the way that i feel is that whether it is john really, the way that i feel is that whether it isjohn lee or whether it is someone else, it does not particularly matter. the failure of carrie lam's rain has certainly been contributed to by her own leadership style, her own personality, but in reality, it is also very much a reflection of the fundamental problem of the hong kong chief executive, who is supposed to serve the city of hong kong but who is, for all intents and purposes, chosen by beijing. andy hong kong people and the rulers in beijing see the city's potential and see its future very differently, so without any change in that structure, there is little hope —— and the hong kong people. there is little hope -- and the hong k

well, john lee is interesting because he used to be the security secretaries. i think in the eyes of beijing, he takes all the right boxes because he was in charge of security. and security, as we know, is very important to china's leaders when it comes to hong kong. so i think perhaps if john lee is selected, that means that china is going to pay even more attention to security in the future . but of course, what hong kong needs right now is a leader that can perhaps project a new image, a new focus for hong kong. because if you want to try to rebuild the brand, the image of hong kong, you do need a new leader at the top. you can't do it with a leader associated with all the bad stuff in the past. the question is, where the john lee would be the best person to do that. all right, thanks so much. adrian brown. now ukraine, at its allies of accused russia, of committing war crimes after the discovery of mass graves in the bodies of civilians. in butch, in a key. if the russian ministry of defense denies it salvazar responsible, we should warn viewers. you may fi

what do we know about john lee? we understand he's the, he's a preferred candidate from beijing. what, what, what do you know about him? oh, we know that he spent most of his life as a policeman. he look up, he came up through the ranks of the police for many, for decades, and then he went over to become head of security in 2017 and then moved over to become the number 2 official which they called chief secretary here. but his entire life and career has been in kind of security and law enforcement. so, i mean, if china wants to emphasize kind of the security aspect, the national security aspect, you know, making sure that i know hong kong or is don't, you know, rise up again and then kind of demonstration, they'll put, they'll put a cop in charge. so that's what we know about him. the other leading candidate we thought might be the financial secretary all chance, but we haven't heard lately whether or not he plans on, on entering the ring a 1st, but really good to get your thoughts. thank you very much and the thing. thank you . national anchors cabinet ministers of resigned or m
