Well this has been a dark day for people who were already concerned about autonomy here in hong kong now chinas leaders say that this new law is needed to come back things like terrorism succession sedition as well as foreign interference now the latter is a reference to the United States which beijing has often accused of being behind and funding some of the protests here in hong kong now on friday this new law was debated by members of chinas National Peoples congress thats the parliament which meets once a year in beijing and it seems this new law could take effect as early as august there were protests in hong kong on friday as well as skirmishes inside the Legislative Assembly now currently social distancing rules mean that people cant gather in the streets in groups of more than 8 now those rules or judy continue until june the 4th the question i guess is when will those rules be lifted and what happens when they are will there be a return of those big street protests that we saw last year in the meantime hong kongs government says it will fully implement this new legislation it says the legislation is needed to punish those who create violence as well as punish those who support independence there was one line in premier league chungs speak to the n. P. C. On friday which has started a lot of speculation here in hong kong he said that there needs to be a mechanism to ensure the law is implemented that is led to many people suggesting that china might now set up its own spy agency here in hong kong something that would be separate at parallel to the Hong Kong Police force. The u. S. Has condemned china over its proposed security door for hong kong secretary of state has called it a disastrous proposal saying it ignores the will of the people and speaks complete how could who is at the white house of forest can play what else did the secretary of state have to say. Yeah a strong rebuke coming from the trumpet ministration the secretary of state my pump aoe issuing a straight statement strongly worded one at that the decision to bypass hong kongs well established legislative processes and ignore the will of the people of hong kong would be a death knell for the high degree of autonomy beijing promised for hong kong under the sino british joint declaration a un filed agreement so this statement coming from the secretary of state is much further then the United States was in terms of its wording its position even 24 hours ago the view of the National Security adviser Robert Obryant essentially that there was an agreement that was put in place a 50 Year Agreement and now the sensually 27 years in the the rule of law the freedom of speech that was guaranteed under that agreement is something that is no longer being recognized or at least is at risk so the view of the United States is if this is tarnished or hurt in any way that the United States would respond and it believes that other countries should do so as well can you what about what this might do to u. S. China relations which obviously are pretty tense right now. Very tense a and many would argue continue to spiral downward you have to remember things were already pretty bad as a result of coronavirus the rift between the worlds 2 largest economies cannot be underscored you have the u. S. President very angry at the impacts of that virus on the u. S. Economy looking for someone to blame blaming china pointing the finger saying in the early days of the virus that not enough was done by chinese authorities to prevent it from spreading even threatening punitive action then you go back a little further and that to ask elating trade war with china 2 years in the making tit for tat tariffs is it really not resolved leaving things very much in a fragile state so this latest as sort of escalation is is certainly problematic but then you factor into the Public Opinion of the American People the latest poll shows that 66 percent of americans have a very unfavorable view of china they believe that china is responsible for much of the espionage thats occurring in the United StatesVia Technology so when you put all of that together in that in the statements of the u. S. President who by the way was asked about this twice on thursday he really didnt offer much in the way of options of the actions that hes threatening only he would say that if there is a need for the United States to address this is he said the United States would do so very strongly take it back complete help of the line from washington d.

Address on could so jerusalem day Ayatollah Ali Khamenei described israel as a cancerous tumor in the middle east and he said the occupation of palestine is a crime against humanity iran has held the annual could stay since 979. 00 in a show of support for the palestinian struggle c. O. Said oh do you suppose you normalizing the presence of the zionist regime in the region is one of the major policies pursued by the United States a number of arab governments in the region also act as the minions and cronies of the us they have been setting the grounds for normalization by establishing economic ties. So i asked from tehran is. Less than senior fellow at the center for middle east and strategic studies thanks for your time what do you make of. A comment a speech in particular thinking about on the one hand hes reiterating calls for resistance to israel but on the other hand hes also calling for a referendum among palestinians. While i think iran and later today he referred to as bitter or and successful experience by palestine and negotiation with the United States as well as best thing governments and i think this implies that they need to that meaning the palestinians to rely on the stands and this is somehow similar to ron situation which has been involved in negotiations with the west as well which iranian leader believes that those negotiations are through the on the other hand he also brought up the idea of referendum this is not new that iran is talking about this for years and decades iran have been talking on this as a solution to the palestinian issue and also present it to the United NationsGeneral Assembly but the point is that as the iranian leader said this referendum needs to take place and to be held visit be of the land of the palestine and not just part of it and this implies that there will be no 2 state solution from iran and perspective on the other hand he also said that all religions meaning Jews Christians and muslims need to take part in this referendum as well as all ethnics. Ok our own the other hand separately how many also a previously had not ever publicly confirmed irans supply of weapon to palestinians fighters but i want to quote from the speech he said iran realized palestinian fighters only problem was lack of access to weapons with divine guidance and assistance we planned and the balance of power has been transformed in palestine how major is that. Well i can say that the context of this a speech is as well in order he was giving this speech at the time that irans form of courts force command by some silly money was was not is not the yet anymore with them. But in is trivial speech he said that cost them so little money was the person who helped the palestinians and by this i think he wants to emphasize on the rez a certain option that the palestinians can have and he says that the negotiations will be fruitless and blissett is need to be emphasizing on that aspect and i think this and other camp takes i think another point is also important which is covered 19 here try to like in israel to call it 19 virus saying that some argue in the region that israel is a reality he went further to argue that comment 19 is also a reality and both need to be dealt and come back to it. In reality and in. That cone of violence is a reality israel is reality as well so there are viruses wisht need to become bad and this is the point that he made at the time that the cause of the 9 in his thumb those demonstrations taking place on the streets in iran but that issue pushed those lets say arguments towards classic on social media in iran ok thank you time that.
