States raising questions of frustrations be lifted too soon and iraq League Leaders prepared to discuss the worsening conflict in libya as egypt threatens a military intervention. A group made up of mainly north korean defectors has managed to evade south Korean Police and fly propaganda balloons into the north the balloons carry leaflets money and memory cards which usually contain south korean dramas news over the border the government in seoul who tried to stop them and condemned the move activism like this has been one cause of recent tensions between the neighbors. The north Korean Military has reportedly reinstalled loudspeakers along the border now the south is warning it not to undermine efforts to keep peace on the peninsula we will continue to know our military is monitoring the North Koreans around the clock and maintaining military readiness please understand that we cannot tell you in detail about the situation but i have already said north korea will pay if it commits any acts that can thought the effort to improve relations and maintain peace in the Korean Peninsula or they can tell us the details of the situation but maybe iraq mcbride candy joins us live from seoul what is the situation at the border is it escalating there. As far as we can tell the d. M. Z. Itself remains quiet but i think it is true to say that given the recent very fast unraveling of relations across that border there has been an uptick in tensions we have the north apart from apparently reinstalling these loud speakers presumably once more to start blaring propaganda out across the barbed wire the north has said that it is going to reestablish guard posts just inside the d. M. Z. Which had been taken away as a way of deescalating tensions there have also announced that theyre going to start theyre going to resume military exercises near the d. M. Z. He said there is a rise in tension and of course its not helped by this balloon launches like this one the defectors themselves will claim this as a major success but it remains unclear just how many of these balloons have actually made it across the d. M. Z. Into north korea it is not a very exact science and in fact at least one of the balloons and some of its leaflets has been discovered in south korea and in fact to the southeast from where it was laurent so its not clear how many balloons have made it the whole intention of it though is to spread leaflets are said to be around 500000. 00 leaflets were sent up with these balloons also booklets and really with very incendiary propaganda attacking personally kim il sung he is the founder of north korea and a revered figure so it will certainly enrage the North Koreans as should any of these leaflets and other propaganda material end up in north korean territory rob the south korean government is not supporting these balloon activists why take us through some of the political calculations that are going on. It is difficult for the south korean government because on the one hand they have got to guarantee freedom of speech and as far as the defectors are concerned they would just be exercising they say their right to Free Expression but of course Everybody Knows that acts acts like this are highly provocative so the south korean government especially at a very sensitive time this week as the 70th anniversary of the start of the korean war theyve been using all sorts of laws by laws regulations to try to prevent these launches they have prevented other launches taking place and other attempts to get propaganda such as propaganda messages in bottles sent with rice. In the coastal waters around career with the aim of ending up in north korea theyve prevented that but not this launch and the Unification Ministry thats the department that handles into Korean Affairs has condemned this and of course we have condemnation coming from north korea itself they have used this is the premise for destroying spectacularly the joint Liaison Office last weekend and threatened of course to launch their own balloon south carrying they say 12000000 leaflets all attacking the south koreas government or a bribe there thanks for that hong kongs chief executive has sought to reassure the public about a Controversial National security law from beijing many fear the legislation will erode the territories autonomy carol lam admitted she hasnt seen for details of the war but said rights will be protected. In the content published so far its stated clearly that the law must respect and protect human rights and for human rights and freedoms to be protected the law is in line with the International Covenant on civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on economic social and cultural rights its also stated clearly that these rights include press freedom and freedom of assembly. Emily lau is from hong kongs Democratic Party she says carrie lamb come down and see the law protects human rights. And no one in hong kong including carrie lamb has seen that the bill its kept secret and what they are saying is that the law may be passed in the next few days maybe on sunday or following monday and then it will be revealed i mean have you heard of anything more ridiculous if youre going to pass a law on hong kong i think common decency would mean that the hong kong people should be consulted and be allowed to express their views but they say the draft law is as secret so nobody can see it so without seeing it how can carry lamb come out and for everybody by saying oh dont worry a human rights will be protected independence of the judiciary will be intact i think thats nonsense the former chief justice of the quarter final appeal mr andrew levy has made you know statements its published in todays english and chinese newspapers and he has a track he made some comments last month but now he is expressing concern because there is a suggestion that kerry lamb would be allowed to pick the judges to try these National Security cases which of course is unheard of in our judicial system and there is also suggestion and very very worrying suggestion that in certain cases the communist party set very small number of people who are charged with offenses could be sent to mainland china. So they would not get protection of the hong kong legal system. The rates of corona virus infections in the u. S.
