America. A crisis unfolding in. The World Food Program warns 130000000 people could be pushed close to starvation by the pandemic. First begin in hong kong where police have fired volleys of tear gas at protesters of the thousands turned out to oppose chinas proposed National Security law demonstrators have blocked streets in the territories popular shopping district or swayed by the bill would ban all activities considered subversive activists say it would be the end of hong kongs autonomy. And brown joins us now from hong kong major i saw moments ago police moved you along how things shaping up now. Well i think in this corner of causeway bay the police to slowly regaining control of the streets following a number of skirmishes earlier on sunday afternoon when tear gas was fired now these protests make it all very reminiscent of actually what happened a year ago when we had large protests also in this part of hong kong now these protesters of course are taking part in an Unauthorized Assembly but also theyre defying a social distancing rules which ban groups of more than 8 people gathering in one place what weve seen today about known as a free flow up aeration which means that the protesters are we heading in all sorts of Different Directions in this part of hong kong now this was the biggest protest since january since the beginning of covert 90 but its not of the scale of what we saw say you know 11198 months ago yes tear gas was fired there has been at least one arrest that aljazeera witnessed but what it shows is that the people here are prepared to come out and defied you know social distancing defied orders not to protest because of the depth of anger over this planned security law for hong kong some people carried banners that said that you know the communist party will be destroyed in heaven others carried banners supporting hong kong independence now you know in a few months time if this law does indeed take effect then then you know things like that could well its fair to assume resulted in you know people being arrested and getting long custody all sentences potentially the problem with this last tommy is a so much that we dont really know about it its all down to what chinas definition is of a protest. Freedom of speech incitement to protest. And you know what weve seen today i think are examples of the sort of things that chinas government would categorize as subversion or sedition take your pick. Or i know that will come back to you later to check up on things for now that was adrian brown from hong kong. Now in mecca one of the most sacred cities in the sam public prayers to marquee dilfer 3 have been taken place but only a few dozen worshippers gathered at the great mosque saudi arabia has imposed around the clock curfew after infections surged almost 70000 its a different picture in pakistan where large gatherings spotted across the country in the largest city karate public prayers to market been taking place despite the threat of the virus spreading from scholars urged people to follow social distancing during celebrations unlike many other countries under lockdown muslims in iran are being allowed to pray inside mosques president has some rouhani has been easing restrictions since april some businesses historical sites and museums are being allowed to reopen from sunday the government is urging people not to travel during the holiday so hes in toronto with the latest for us this is an aid like no other right zain. Thats exactly right sammy covert 19 has had a massive impact on how easy that is being celebrated here howie prayers have been offered here into iran in one of the main grounds where traditionally the Supreme Leader himself would lead prayers and then give a sermon those were completely canceled iranians said normally millions would show up to that but that didnt happen at all d here in downtown at the mosque behind me either prayers were supposed to be held those were canceled just this morning and people were sent to the campus mosque on to her own university now we visited that mosque and in the streets around the campus for the university in that mosque across the campus normally on any given need there would be thousands of people offering prayers and coming for Prayer Services in the morning there would be multiple rounds of Prayer Services but where there were meant to be thousands there were only dozens there was a very small crowd both on the women section and the mens section and there simply wasnt the same sort of festive atmosphere that is normally associated with this part of the city during this time of the year one woman we spoke to said that it was her 1st time stepping out of the house since she had been observing lockdown measures that were put into place months ago to deal with the pandemic another family that we met said that they were from a different province but were stuck into iran because they were observing the lockdown measures that the government has put in place now the Health Ministry as you said is concerned that the holidays might be another time where this this virus could once again spread we have to remember around the rooms holidays when people were sent home when schools were closed when offices were closed that was when the government had told people not to travel but people did travel and that was one of the main reasons that the virus spread so rapidly to all the provinces in. This country the Health Minister has warned the Health Ministry has issued warnings telling people not to repeat that not to travel across the country during this holiday period however we see that that warning comes at a time when president Hassan Rouhani has announced that the lucrative Tourism Sector will begin to reopen tourism will be allowed to reopen tourists tourist operators will be allowed to begin giving tours again tourism sites will be reopened for visitors many shrines even the larger ones the interior of the shrines wont be open but court yards will be open for people to visit cafes restaurants many businesses will start opening later in the week and the country is sort of going back to normal so despite the fact that people are not coming in they have not come out for prayers theyre still observing lockdown measures the country has made the calculus of trying to come to an acceptable level of infection and death rates to be able to get the country back on the road to some sort of economic for Economic Movement forward. Thanks for that. Brazil now has the 2nd highest number of coronavirus cases in the world behind the u. S.
