A very warm welcome from our studios here in moscow this is r. T. International with me the caring now china has approved a resolution to impose its security law in hong kong angry and say beijing protests have again been intensifying in the city. Tailor looks of war since take. With current of ours dominating the headlines since february many of the stories have to fall into the wayside but one making a comeback as the wild starts returning to normality the hong kong protests are now up to several months of her spiked us face to serious couples and not came off to thousands of protesters took to the streets on wednesday the day ended on a really sour note with around 300 arrests and Police Using Pepper Spray bullets because they suspected some of the protesters had weapons including petrol bombs. We know that anti China Sentiment has been building in the region for almost a year but that was reignited last week off to beijing announced grounds for a new piece of legislation the National Security hole that has now been approved the bill has been approved by chinas legislature and it is possible that could even come into effect were then amassed to oak weeks now that would ban treaty on terrorism really any behavior that threatens National Security also this week m. P. s debating and not the bill about the National Anthem and that would criminalize insulting the anthem on could see people face fines potentially even jail time so frustrated people poured onto the streets chanting things like homecoming dependence its the only way they see beijing and more and more into thiering and hong kongs size which seems strange because of course it is technically china but since 1907 the area has enjoyed and large degree of or to. Anomie under its one country 2 systems rule not one country that has taken a perhaps on usually high level of interest in the un tun the focus of hong kong is that you ask and on wednesday before Congress Section state my compared to clad the hong kong could no longer be considered selfgoverning no reasonable person can assert today that hong kong maintains a high degree of autonomy from china given the facts on the ground while the United States once hoped that free and prosperous hong kong would provide a model for authoritarian china it is now clear that china is modeling hong kong after itself washington has said that it will take action if now when the bill passes and this is what president trouble all that mysterious he had to say on the matter were doing something now i think youll find it very interesting but i wont be talking about it today ill be talking about it over the next couple of days ok whats exactly on the cards well have to wait and see but one thing is certain this is not going to do anything for us china relations the 2 are poor speak and all that compared to something washington does not take kindly to so weve seen trade wars shot rhetoric but in the wake of claims that ninetys missed frigidity has really turned into an open tension as the u. S. Played china for the pandemic against all of this beijing has said that it will not tolerate any type of interference so. We have the question of the Hong Kong SpecialAdministrative RegionNational Security legislation is entirely chinas internal affairs no foreign country has the right to interfere if anyone insists on harming chinas interests china will have to take all necessary measures to firmly hit back some say that beijing has good reason to adopt such a strict tone after all in the past we have seen u. S. Government employees meeting with some of the hong kong protesters and and washington from the outset has very actively encouraged what it claims is one can spike the democracy so it seems that while the wildest of moving on and beyond 19 the strain between these 2 nations is not easing at the moment it looks like hong kong might well become the battleground where that clash plays out earlier i spoke to one when the professor and executive dean of chang young the institute for financial studies at Renmin University in china and he says beijing has every right to push ahead with the security law and to be concerned by other countries interference. Every big country has its own money that could be long the United States has routinely has france has so i think they are trying to who has won so this National Security law is a formulated under the free work of one country 2 systems so we created a. Supreme and taught hong kong basic law and it does not affect hong kong of freedom so at present some people you hong kong im not one about freedom but do not recognise a chinese system do not and you can as a china and hong kong actually should so long is a religion of what china is period China Internal Affairs has allowed trump as valid a stronger response say they plans legislation what has the us got to do with the hong kong case and might this be seen as foreign interference it is a very foolish if all term penetration to india where we can confess so this is a typical innovation so attracted to him chinas law or in a china is in the sovereignty so its a very hard to imagine how the white house would be acted to how or why you escalation if a country want to our individual so i also asked some hong kong people to not to have a loophole for americans so in fact from the perspective of many countries in the middle east and north africa syria iraq libya is it true the more unity is built in the variance the more childhood there and youll be. Caring for the elderly and vulnerable had become coronavirus hotspots in scotland while nursing home on the isle of skye made headlines after it was revealed a quarter of its residents died from kovac 19 we talked to john gordon whose father was one of the victims in the last few years have been the main char. She began her man i was in bed important to him and you have reserves a them whoever you are. And for us it was very poignant last year when. He was a bit to pass and my sister and her family and myself were able to be straight with them. Im literally surrounded by sturm and as my sister and her family myself are talking we consume about beaches. The same as beds for our hero here in for people with her blue gloves on and it was a really great moment because it was such a reassuring thing from an art and we were there the whole made us hand you know we were denied opportunity with them just in those final hours and when we think of the most vulnerable in our society you know our Elderly Population some places theres theres his with with people with disabilities and they dont have the same ways that we didnt and again were in there until these homes you cared for to be protected and this is not happened it was found almost all of the residents on 29 started the home farm nursing home contract it kovac 910. 00 residents including johns father has passed away since the pandemic started police are now investigating 3 deaths at the care home there are allegations a lack of testing and negligence and protective measures led to the tragedy according to the National Records all scotland as of may 24th the country has registered 3700 deaths from kovac 90 almost half of those were in care homes scotlands 1st minister nicholas durgin has promised an inquiry of course there will be a Public Inquiry into this whole crisis and every aspect of this crisis and that will undoubtedly include what happened in care homes but in the home and put she had looked on probably every 10 years earlier so as a family we were reassured that they were really weeding the way in terms of dealing with the pandemic in everything that happened. And we feel that our father was in asked if you dont buy them and so it became utterly shocking within our community when it became an evident that there was such a high number of a cases of of code names and within the whole you know there was a law stuff movement or stuff coming in from other areas to work within the home am my understanding was there was a list of isolation that there should have been the staff werent properly has a n. P. P. Is becoming more evident and apparent needs to be. Really in terms of what went wrong here yes there has been huge failings. Basically has worried somewhat this cons to ensure people respect social distancing the government says it will recruit an army of volunteers snoopers so it depends he explains. How do you fancy a brand new role in a bid to help keep your country safe well given the current pandemic the idea of doing your bit may perhaps hold a lot of appeal but what if i told you that the position is one not paid and 2 you could be accused of snooping on your loved ones who perhaps not so feeling now well if its early next week this is the cool that people will be expected to. Weve seen early entry in you know where theres a gradual recovery productive activities and citizens are returning to populate cities day to day now is the time to recruit a loose citizens who want to help the country by demonstrating agrees civic said. Its hope theres an army of 60000 volunteers will help of the gatherings as its only tries to emerge from the fires that is killed tens of thousands nation white as the summer heat and restrictions are eased footage of crowds is trickling fees that infections could surge again so much so that in the v need to area a video with images of patients in intensive care was broadcast on t. V. To convince people to comply with Safety Measures even within the Italian Government not all agree about a volunteer army whispering on what neighbors may or may not be doing the proposal of the socalled civic assistance makes no sense to me not only was the move not shared with us we absolutely oppose it public gatherings are a problem but this is not what citizens need what they need is responsibility and so. Arius knows from their politicians we have to stop being a rational Italian Interior Ministry which is responsible for maintaining order also claims not to have been consulted while another Political Party is cool to proposal madness the government claims that this is a civic or sponsibility about Community Services such as taking groceries to people who need them but cant convince people to sign up or are italians suspicious that this is essentially the job of an informant shirleys care tsunami there is a concrete risk of a culture of also because they will put us against each other it will be a typical war between the poorest people. In iraq and we dont was still dont instant to pay the lot and. Bruce too much confusion about the work of these civic assistants roll right to too many cameras around the room and people may get to the lawyers room and they begin to serve the dissent here to me for some new civic assistance could be useful because in this phase 2 people are getting more relaxed over the Safety Measures. Feeding my mobility so any disservice must be carried out by the local Police State Police and other Law Enforcement agencies there is a risk of developing a culture of suspecting everyone in any case we dont want for the truth what we actually. Should i mean the control of the government is already very strong and this would only worsen the situation and its not the 1st time italy has tried to recruit volunteer tattletales back in march the mayor of broome authorized a system allowing people to report on those not following the lock down.

The share the burden so basically what they think they use up is really the turning point of. The story point. Can be fatal can be lethal so you. Are not united against this virus so. The use. Of the sinking completer the sinking of the opinion. That all trying to pass threatens to strongly regulate social media platforms thats after twitter decided to flag the president s posts about voter fraud as misleading with its new gets the facts label the president accuse the social network of stifling free speech especially against republicans republicans feel that social media platforms totally silence conservatives voices we will strongly regulate or close them down before we can ever allow is to happen we saw what they attempted to do and failed in 2016 we cant let a more sophisticated version of that happen again in a tweet that was called out by twitter trump said that allowing people to vote by mail would lead to widespread fraud the social Network Added 8 get the facts link leading to a statement saying that experts say mail in ballots all very rarely linked to voter fraud we got reaction to this spot from legal and media analyst lionel. Out of the 5000000 tweets that hes tweeted why is this so important regarding ballot mail and ballot why is that theres an old expression this is your only catch flack when youre over the target and some people think i did president things that there must be something to this i must have hit a nerve and twitter basically allows only certain forms of information only certain areas certain air now. What twitter always says is where a private company we do whatever we want and were private company what do you if you can nobody makes you go on twitter you dont have to go into it or i always thought they were we put a billboard a limb a billboard you decide what your going to put on that billboard if its wrong event right thats not their problem they just sell the space is between individuals theyve now been forced to to involve themselves so the rules up till now are going to have to be rewritten because right now the 1st amendment does not apply to private companies and by the way the reason why the hate is the most he used their platform for his benefit its killing them.
