From the start china had asserted that hong kongs unrest dissent was all cemented from abroad it was due to foreign interference so this is china underlining that fact the National Security law was they say was implemented to quell unrest and the protests that we saw in hong kong and so once again theyre using the extent of this National Security law to underline the fact that implementing it is now making hong kong a more stable place one of the main tenets of that National Security laws that there are no boundaries anyone anywhere or didnt or not can fall under that or violated and be punished so once again the authorities are exercising that so theyre sending very a lot of messages by accent are seeking the arrest of these activist abroad but analysts also say this is several goals of china one of the main things china is trying to do at the moment is a keep up its nationalistic supports and one of the best ways to do that is to tighten control over hong kong especially grassroots support which is so its tightening its grip over the territory to foment of more nationalistic fervor supports and also on top of that its a sending a message to these other countries saying that despite the fact that these countries are weighing in criticizing the implementation of the National Security law in Hong Kong China will not be bullied sammael chill is a u. S. Citizen and hes one of the activists wanted by hong kong please see told aljazeera that chinas government is acting like a dictatorship that wants to stamp out all forms of opposition.

A session and colluding with foreign powers and that i think is what theyre both not understanding is that theyre creating really a perception of how desperate and house they are Global International influence and pressure i think that this is what the taters do one day know that they have lost the hearts and minds of their people they go out and disqualify opposition leaders they issue or and about press before decisions and they delay any sort of democratic practices and process in elections because they want to saw what is it. Were done and i think that they might be able to lead us who are here but all of that are really doing is growing their movement and reinforcing the commitment all of us have that will once again be a free so one day donald trump is vowing to use his president ial powers to buy the chinese own social media platform take talk from the u.

Japans capital has confirmed a record 472 coronavirus cases this saturday tokyos governor says he is considering a state of emergency in our region has declared its own 2 weeks state of emergency after a spike in cases there a record 71 new infections were reported on 5 day the majority of cases in those Southern Islands of american troops stationed there the bottom line is that our procedures for u. S. Forces are stringent they are effect and what we have seen a growth in cases in a couple of our bases of the manage they have been contained and there has been absolutely no connection to that has been proven to show that there has been any spread from the the costers on the base and to the local community that speak to Michael Paine whos the president of the news agency and joins us from tokyo thank you so much for speaking to us what is causing this socalled explosive spread of coronavirus cases on all canal island and what does a state of emergency mean for the People Living on a. Right well the the rise in covert making cases across the country has been kind of steady for some weeks and it just hasnt. That trend upward trend has just continued on and on and now were getting into more crisis levels in the case of open now and specifically the there is concern that perhaps the reason why its hitting that island particularly strongly is because u. S. Forces particularly the u. S. Marines have been able to come in and out of japan without going through immigration controls until very recently without any covert 1000 tests under the status of forces agreement now that the speaker you just had the video said that there is no proven link between the u. S. Forces outbreaks and the local outbreaks and that may be true but the evidence is not that hasnt been proven to definitively but this link is strongly suspected by both the local government and the residents and now theyre going to have to go into a more sort of a soft walk down scenario in that prefecture yeah u. S. Forces account for 248 of the 395 cases that were recorded on friday their presence on the island has always been an asshole or soft tension how much is this all straining relations between you know the American Forces and the locals even fatter. But considerably you know about its estimated that Something Like 5 percent of the okinawans local economy is based on the u. S. Military bases which means that there are local residents who go on and off the bases. In normal times for their jobs and its also true that the u. S. Military people often go off the base to local businesses although this is being shut down. You know as a reaction to this crisis but yes the the you know theres no great love lost especially but at the government level local government level and the basis between the base community which they would like to see reduced and the and the local population japan as he as he said has so far escaped the worst of the epidemic the number of cases is on the rise new restrictions coming into effect in tokyo now how is that going to affect people there and whats that to the spike in cases. Well as i said thats for the spike its really been coming steadily so it isnt you know it isnt one thing it is sort of something which has been spiraling slowly out of control over weeks and weeks and what one key thing to understand is that the National Government has opposed any sort of lockdown or any sort of restrictions on peoples movements to even promoted a National Tourism campaign in the midst of the pandemic so what you have going on here is a lot of local governors including governor yuriko toy tokyo who are essentially acting against the will of the of the National Government which doesnt want any sort of restrictions at all but with will that people be respecting the noncompulsory measures that are coming into effect in telco for instance. To some extent even during the april and may lock down socalled lock downs it was a very soft lockdown in some parts of the central part of the city there were fewer people to be seen but in the local neighborhoods where people live there are lots of people out you know even at normal levels basically so people stayed in their neighborhoods but they didnt really stay indoors so theres going to be a more of an effort to do teleworking try to stay away from going into the center of the city but if you compare this sort of lockdown to what happened in italy or spain theres really no comparison in japan to very soft lockdown thank you so much for talking to us michael penn from the news agency joining us there from tokyo we appreciate your time. Now mexico has overtaken the u. K. As a country with the 3rd highest coronavirus death toll more than 46. 00 and a half 1000 people have died on friday a multibillion dollar agreement with the United Nations was announced to buy medical equipment and supplies manya rapinoe has more from mexico city.

Officials also announced the creation of a new Government Agency tasked with the distribution of those medicines as the Health Crisis continues to worsen nationwide the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in mexico is here in the countrys capital were locked down restrictions have been lifted and many Non Essential Services have been allowed to reopen. Many now fear worsening contagion will force local officials to announce new law down measures in the days to come because he wanted them because i mean its important for it to be in there and if we dont change the trend than there could be exponential growth that would take us to a table with hospitalizations thats a greater than what we had in june. Mexico has now overtaken britain as the nation with the 3rd highest coronavirus death toll in the world just behind brazil and the United States.

Up a low aljazeera mexico city. Coronavirus restrictions have been reimpose in parts of Northern England after an increase in infections obs restaurants cafes and james remain open but some people feel theyre being unfairly targeted on a whole reports from nia manchester. Localized restrictions affecting millions of people in Northern England who have come at a worse time for the largest muslim population. They came into effect on the. Other one of islams holiest dates that i had for all night oh. You know what is was going on is that another log of that really confused people that faith leaders say the Community Feels let down having done Everything Possible to mitigate the spread of the virus there is a kind of confusion. And i want to say hate but i would say that the people are shocked with that kind of immediate action thats taken place the Prime Minister has warned of the need to act fast in the face of rising infection rates a possible 2nd wave he said it was time to put the brakes on a return to normality our assessment is that we should now squeeze that brake pedal squeeze that brake pedal in order to keep the virus under control i know that the steps that were taking will be a real blow to many people everyone obviously whose wedding plans have been disrupted or who cannot mouse celebrate ied in the way that they would wish and im really really sorry about that but we simply cannot take the risk the deputy leader of Oldham Council one of the areas affected says the measures are necessary even if their introduction was missed and the model messages from National Government are just not helpful at all the create a Lawful Society and in the way that theyve been delivered what he has done is create division in our communities and i still think thats the we dont appreciate the opposition says its a new low in Government Communications during this crisis though theres no denying that infection rates are on the rise but among the questions the Muslim Community here has is why private households are a problem while drinking in pubs and bars is not i think if it was in the pope it be fine i think thats really the message. Cent i think if it was on the seaside it would be fine and i think what we need to really do is address the question why is everyone feeling angry and its not some people in the community its everyone everyone feels that its been targeted at them this was the scene during fridays heat wave on the english south coast some call it prejudice others pass it off as incompetence but it does seem that in parts of the country code 19 and the governments handling of the crisis is opening up Bitter Community divides join a whole aljazeera oldham in the north of england the leader of a south Korean Church has been arrested accused of concealing an underreporting coronavirus cases prosecutors say lima and he hampered the governments antivirus response.
