under article 3 it does not preclude baiting of origins from doing their own thing to protect national security certainly every country has a right to protect its security and territorial integrity let's look at what happened back in 2003 when you were security minister and you tried and failed to push through a security law against subversion and treason for hong kong it brought the people out in the hundreds of thousands against it and you had to resign your post because why because people didn't trust this law and they didn't trust the provisions of it and they still don't do they still don't. oh well home call has undergone many crises of confidence in the past 100 years you know but our systems have remained robust you know and on a lot of people are now requesting they should have supported the version that i championed 17 years ago moreover a lot of people came out to protest not just because of the national security law but because of the sars epidemic at that time and many who normally problems and the difference between then and now is that it's at that time after the then chief execu

and you look behind the national security it will. seem as if it's going to be ready in a month and. there's no time for consultation no time for examination letting them walk and i think it's again. very sad and disturbing to see what is happening emily back in 2003 when tung chee hwa tried to push through national security legislation it was stopped because of huge demonstrations in hong kong you at the time said that you didn't want her to being stopped by beijing but you didn't want beijing to interfere but now it is looking back should you of let the legislation pass at the time you've got a better better chance of in influencing it. not really i mean at that time that bill was opposed by many people but i think there were suggestions particularly by the legal fraternity saying that the government should publish a white paper to consult the people more broadly and all maybe refer it to the nor reform commission fill them with the sense that people understood that it is in the basic law all the hotel and say ah should and legislat

said those countries were essentially being hypocritical because those countries i'm so have national security laws now earlier on choose day carol lam addressed the media here in hong kong but on that occasion she dodged all questions about this security law she did though attend a meeting at hong kong's central liaison office here in hong kong which is sort of china's defacto embassy where a number of hong kong representatives have now been consulted about this deal because it seems that actually up until a few days ago carol lam herself had not even seen a draft of this legislation according to the local media that there are still a lot of details about this law as you say that are not known but it's a ready having an effect on hong kong's politics a dream. oh absolutely right it's had an immediate and sort of chilling effect joshua warned earlier on tuesday announced that he was retiring from the party he helped to set up joshua one of course one of the most famous of the pro-democracy activists here in hong kong young pro-democracy activists appears after that the party itself announced t

it doesn't look as though it's one country 2 systems that have reigning in and national security organs have an imposing their security laws on hong kong it doesn't look like 2 systems looks like one country one system if you do that they are and acting they are trying to enact a hong kong specific version which is consistent with our common law systems if they just wish to implement impose china's system on us they could just apply this to us china's national security law but they are not doing this they are now consulting hong kong experts about and in. drafting a hong kong specific version for us to take account of our separate systems. one of the things you said recently in your article was the beijing has a tacit understanding that the new law needs to be drafted in a way that's consistent with common law norms and strikes a balance between protecting national security and up holding personal rights and freedoms 1st point region a tacit understanding is our by definition meaningless and. well perhaps at understanding you know it's reflected by the fact that they are not imposing th

nation. the first includes my american securities drone act which prohibits the u.s. government from purchasing drones manufactured in countries that identified as national surety threats like iran and china. we know communist china steals our technology and intellectual property yet the u.s. government continues to buy critical technology like drones with american tax dollars from chinese companies backed by their governments. no one in america should buy products made in communist the u.s.pecially not government. we cannot continue this practice and my american securities drone act is a commonsense solution to end the spread tried to our national security. second, i'm working to protect florida's gulf coast from offshore drilling heard i have an amendment and the national defense authorization act that requires the department of defense to report on the importance of the gulf test range which is used for vital military testing and training and is critical to our national security. offshore drilling in the area with poses significant risks to the environment and our m

i've either been the chief of staff of the national security council, or i've been national securitynt of the united states. i've served with mike flynn, h.r. mcmaster, john bolton and now robert o'brien, who i happen to think is the best national security adviser we've had since the president's had them. because of that, i've had an opportunity to be involved in every single national security discussion and event that we've had since president trump has been in office. i've been to conferences, i've been in cabinet meetings, i've been on head of state calls, i've seen what he's done. and one thing the president has done with heads of state and leaders, he's been very forceful. he's been direct. he's been candid. and if there's anything he's done, the one single thing that he's done is he has supported the american people. it's always been america first. he's always looked out for american interests first. it's something john bolton hasn't done. look, lou, i can tell you a year ago when we were up in bedminster, i saw john bolton personally derail the afghan peace talks that we were

with all of your experience in national security, does this seem plausible to you?seems plausible, rachel. it's mind blowing that it's come to this. it's a major escalation of russian aggression against the united states. and what's most extraordinary, as you laid out very ably in your introduction, is that the president of the united states presumably has had access to this information for months and has done absolutely nothing about it. and, rachel, even if you were to believe the white house, which honestly, i don't, that he wasn't informed, and we can come back to that, because that, trust me, is national security adviser makes no sense to me. but even if he weren't informed, then why hasn't he, in the days since he allegedly learned about this, expressed his concern, his condemnation of any russian attempts to kill american military personnel. why hasn't he ordered his staff to bring him options for action? why is he not acting like a normal american president? and expressing solidarity with our troops and determination to punish our arch adversary for these ty
