Colonial past in africa i think for the rights of the president of the democratic republic of congo expressing regret cooking leopolds brutal rule as the d. L. C. Monks 60 years of independence. Time for girl welcome to the program chinas president xi jinping has signed into law a controversial new measures that critics fear will restrict freedoms in hong kong if though the new National Security laws which took a media to effect will undermine the one country 2 systems policy agreed and beijing resumed control of the former british colony in 1970 but has described this as a gray staff the European Union says it deplores the move. They feel at this might be their last chance to protest. Todays flash mall been a Shopping Center was small but defiant everyone knew things were changing and some feared showing their faces. On the day i feel on the top of that its very sad because they can ask of can they even dont know the detail of the law it just pass it and if no one rejects so. I think most of the people there are scared as. This is what theyre scared of the Chinese Security law promises to crack down hard on more to terms terrorist activities it criminalizes subversion and secession activities as well as foreign interference and could enable chinese authorities to operate in hong kong it was scenes like these last summer that prompted the law huge demonstrations in favor of democracy and against chinese influence overwhelmed hong kong and embarrassed all thora he says hong kong leader kerry lamb told the United Nations the law was nothing to worry about. Only target an extremely small minority of people who have preached the law while the life and property basic rights and freedoms of the overwhelming majority of hong kong residents will be protected but fear is reaching prodemocracy activists joshua one is now in hiding but expects to be arrested he says hes resigned from his group to protect them as saying if my voice will not be heard soon i hope that the International Community will continue to speak up for hong kong and step up concrete efforts to defend our last bit of freedom. A last call to support hong kong as in the scared new world. Straight to beijing then where we dont correspondent bullinger welcome mathias this has been talked about this a lot the last a couple weeks what do we know about it and its likely implementation yeah law has really really been kept secret or at least partly kept a secret until its very promulgation that means until the Hong Kong Government published it and it came into effect the law. Targets a wide range of. Of what beijing sees as crimes and it has and everything we have heard before was not very detailed about how betting defines these crimes we have just heard what they are called in the little report that we had here. The law gives beijing white hours to interfere in hong kong when it wants to it obligates the Hong Kong Government to enforce the law and to also into fear if we can say so into the Justice System by directly appointing the judges that will handle these cases so this is quite a far reaching law it will change hong kong a good bit and many see it as the end of the one country 2 systems of the separate legal system that protected hong kong so far from direct interference from beijing and a quick word about some of the International Reaction to this move but this. The International Community sees this all the western countries the g 7 countries have signed the declaration see this as a breach of the sign of british declaration their declaration where paging and britain agreed on the terms of the handover where beijing gave guarantees that it would leave hong kongs legal system and its freedoms untouched america has reacted quite forcefully that they. They are going to change the special status in trade terms of hong kong and some chinese officials have been put on a black having blacklisted their theyre now excluded from these as the European Countries so far have not done anything beyond voicing concern they have also signed a joint declarations of the g. 7 countries that they see and there where they declare that they see this as a breach but no measures so far have been announced or taken europe seems to be waiting out europe is in negotiations with china on an Investment Agreement and it seems that they are prioritizing this at the moment over hong kong thank you for that mathias building here in beijing. Well take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world the European Union has announced it will reopen its external borders to 14 countries on the 1st of july United States has been excluded from business as the Coronavirus Infection might set continue to rise in parts of the country and china has been provisionally approved the travel will only open up if beijing lifts all restrictions against european citizens. To ensure rains in Southern China have led to severe flooding forcing more than 700000 people to flee their homes much of the damage has so far been felt in southwestern province since such a situation having down for a set of spreads to central and eastern regions this week. China says it will closely watch the development of a new flu virus that has become more infectious to humans according to chinese researchers the new strain originated in pigs and has all the hallmarks of a pandemic virus they say there is currently no imminent threat. But the u. K. Will speed up Infrastructure Spending in an effort to boost its flagging economy the Prime Minister johnson promised a 5000000000 pounds of investment and most of it in previously announced projects that will not be fast tracked the Prime Minister also emphasized his government to would not cut public spending as previous conservative administrations had the british economy shrank 2. 2 percent in the 1st quarter according to the latest figures theres a reason we can do this now as i say we manage the economy prudently its the its the right time to. To borrow but what were saying is that this is the moment to make that big big long term stake that that backing of britain because that will deliver the long term productivity gains the gains that will in the end deliver the tax revenues that were of. Were going to need down the line we can balance this over the cycle we must must must make the investment not. Destroying the data because one show a lot of pots in london. Boris johnson promised a new deal for the u. K. Is this new money. Well this idea is not new as you mentioned he already announced in his Party Manifesto when he was running as Prime Minister in the last election and this is essentially what won him the election the promise to really increase Government Spending and to increase Government Spending in things such as infrastructure schools prisons across the board Science Health care and today he announced another 5000000000 in addition to that in Infrastructure Projects experts say its not going to read it leigh to change anything but Boris Johnson himself insists that this should remind us of roosevelts new deal 90 years ago so hes setting a very high bar there for himself and i think it goes to show that here in the u. K. Times of austerity is really over and that Boris Johnson is willing to throw money at the problems at the price communities and to increase mess of flee public spending within the next years so how bad is the u. K. Economy. Well it is pretty bad just to give you an example this high street that you see behind me after the shops were able to open again a couple of weeks ago half of the shops indeed did not open back up some went out of business some are just not able at the moment to comply with a social distancing rule but it is the u. K. Is in the beginning off a major recession today weve got the latest numbers in the 1st quarter so up to the end of march there the gross has been as little as and full as it was in 40 years and the i. M. F. Is suggesting that the u. K. Economy could be one of the worst hit among the g. 7 members so in april for example a 20 percent boost sorry decrease to the economy so really bad numbers unemployment is at a record high here with half of the workforce at the moment being out of the job or underemployed or under the governments furlough scheme so really the u. K. Is in the beginning of the recession and experts agree there that an increase in public spending is absolutely necessary on all fronts. Support thank you. I dont us have pledged billions for Syrian Refugees at a huge online bidding event the un was seeking to raise a 10000000. 00 for its aid programs in the water on middle eastern country among those who donated with the e. U. And qatar more than 5 and a half 1000000 syrians have fled since the conflict began 9 years ago now the vast majority of refugees have found shelter in neighboring countries especially jordan almost a housed in urban areas a large number are still living in camps in border regions. Meanwhile the situation for syrians who have stayed at home is not much better in fact as the economy teeters on the verge of collapse its getting worse and next report looks at the plight of one family in the capital damascus. And his wife marva are off to the butchers in damascus everywhere even these days away works in a factory producing machines and tools for industry here and a good wage but soaring inflation means its barely enough to survive on. A kilo of basic cost a 3rd of my monthly salary that means we can no longer bar particular. Instead we buy 200. 00 or 300 grams of the time has become a luxury yacht thats no longer one of the basics. To die luxury is on the menu 300 grams of it again thats it for the month. For many syrians the sanctions and the pandemic fueled economic crisis make a trip to the cash machine and not me the syrian pound has lost 80 percent of its value imported goods which have to be paid for in dollars around affordable the financial strain means the country will have to rely extensively on international id to rebuild itself. Parts of syrias cities have suffered almost apocalyptic levels of destruction. And even in those areas physically unscathed by the war like the center of damascus local businesses are struggling to survive. Syrias tourist sector has suffered in recent years. This Hotel Manager says this place used to be a popular choice for visitors. A function from back in the good old days people from all over the world came to stay in this very hotel be french tourists russians americans japanese chinese or rainy and. We. See me you know me the pandemic is having an effect on jobs too many are now at risk. Even those with relatively secure employment like low i for example say they are worried the high inflation is eating up their savings and by then all this. My fear is that i wont be able to feed my children. Im looking for a 2nd job to try and get us through these tough times was a little far but the economic sanction its main and jobs are hard to come by. War and sanctions are leading syria into Economic Disaster its only hope is i from abroad. A 1st time in history a reigning belgian king has expressed regret over his countrys colonial past in the democratic republic of congo in a letter to the president felix she said cater published on the 60001st year of the countrys independence from belgium king philip communicated his deepest regrets for the suffering and discrimination inflicted by belgian colonizers the scene of the belgian colonial rule for 75 years during which which acts of violence and killings were committed against millions of congo ladies brussels belgium Prime Minister sofia vilmas unveiled a plan to commemorate the got a version of independence is what she said. In the british the time has come for belgium to embark on a journey of research a journey of truth a journey of memory but 1st many work on the truth and memory involves acknowledging the suffering acknowledging the suffering of others. This recognition that it was clearly expressed this morning by our sovereign in his letter to president xi sic ag to the congolese people. Lets go to big capital that says in brussels welcome so how is brussels marking a 60 years of congolese independence. Fell apart from the event with the belgian Prime Minister which you have just seen no major Public Events in the capital here in the city of kens another of those controversial statues of the Emperor Leopold the 2nd is coming down today but apart from that a lot of belgians with congolese descend and ive just come back from the center of town where a lot of people have been out on the streets gathering in mumbai square the square named after the 1st Prime Minister of the democratic republic of congo have to be baited brahmanist as was and they welcome the idea of a of an indepth debate without a bruise about the colonial legacy of this country and that is also true for a person with congolese descend i have met and went see historian here from brussels heres a story. Finally and betsy feels a little less alone. For years the art historian has tried to challenge the way belgium deals with its colonial past now shes among thousands calling for the removal of all monuments of the countrys longest serving monarch the man who headed up. The lone youll regime in what is now the democratic republic of Congo King Leopold the 2nd of the 2nd. We all know that those features have a symbolic power and im totally compute that for some people. They are they dont want us to demonstrate or they will dont want people to demonstrate and to see with these not because they want to keep those their shoes their they want to keep else in earth of inferiority of. Hundreds he was born in belgium but had to fight racism all her life she struggled to forge a career in the arts facing many rejections now she has opened her own gallery that spotlights the work of black artists. Because the responses here is very sceptical and this is what mrs nixon its so dangerous and so home food to there are so many examples like if youre looking for an apartment you have to say anderson yeah that you know dont waste my time unplug. Maybe. Maybe youre right he apartment has a really neat has already been taken statues of leopold the 2nd like this one in the seaside resort of all stand are everywhere but theres no mention that his lavish public spending was financed by congolese robber and no mention of the millions of congolese People Killed in the process instead. Your official website directs tourists to a walking tour highlighting how the kings achievements bolstered the towns prestige. Unvetted she is collecting her son she wants him to learn as much as possible about his familys history her old mother still remembers the brutal reality of colonial rule in the midst 20 century and effete not at all our parents back in africa didnt want us to see how they were abused so one day they told me not to come near us i was curious so i hid and saw how they slapped my father. Why are they doing this i asked. And he replied i was punished because i didnt have enough money to pay our taxes. On betsy knows that many parents of congolese descent do not like to share our unpleasant memories but for her son and the generations to come she feels transparency is the best way forward. To india to this eclipse fame so transparent. All those family secrets are passed down from generation to generation and raise on people when you say things clearly this allows future generations to cope with the past so they dont become victims of what remains in our collective consciousness in this interests you dont he has to donna predictive everywhere you go in belgium you come across cologne your monuments confronting the reality of this past is a painful but crucial process whats he feels now a 1st step has been made. Ok ive got masses. Expression of regret and not quite an apology what do you make of it. Lets be clear phil people in belgium and in particular belgium people of congo least the send have been waiting a long time for a signal like this one thing philip is the 1st monarch. Who as expressed this kind of regrets now if you compare it through an apology of course theres less legal scope for reparations for instance and that is what many congolese demands in in this case and what they would like to see is money being put on the table rather than just what was but as one activist told me today at least its a foot in the door its a 1st step. Mass arrests and brussels thank you gangs of hungry monkeys keeping residents of a city in thailand busy the coronavirus pandemics keeping taurus away so the been honest they used to feed the monkeys and in short supply and striven troops of hungry monkeys on to the streets looking for food and trouble. At 1st glance these could almost be scenes from a zoo fearless primates ruled the town center of rock but really in central thailand the city is famous for its ancient temple ruins and for its population of around 2 and a half 1000 mechanics for years City Residents have had a love hate relationship with their long tailed neighbors the monkeys attract tourists but theyre also prone to create mayhem since the pandemic business is almost completely dried up for those selling monkey food to tourists. Were now seeing the impact of 19 for months everything here was shut down now visitors are slowly starting to return but they dont buy much the monkeys are really hungry. Locals say the situation has never been so bad. I cant look away for a 2nd if im not sitting here to take care of the shop they come in open the fridge take drinks and steal snacks from us is really difficult living with the monkeys. I got bitten by a monkey jumped on my head and bit me i had to get some shots afterwards everyone living around here must have been taken at some point a big or small wound everyone. These escalating clashes have now caused wildlife officials to step in over the last few days theyve captured hundreds of monkeys on the streets of la brea to have them sterilized by state veterinarians. 1st the animals need to be sedated. Once theyre unconscious they shaved and given a tattoo to indicate theyve been muted. Then they have to go under the knife the plan is to sterilize 500. 00 of the mechanics by august that also said they might have had a good if the monkey population were to increase even more rapidly the more animals we have the greater the number of conflicts people have with them i dont want to see the monkeys getting hurts and those conflicts and so what were doing here is about protecting them i think that as well as protecting peoples property.
