Thank you for joining us chinas top legislative body has unanimously approved a new National Security law to be imposed on hong kong acts of secession subversion terrorism or collusion with Foreign Forces could lead to a maximum sentence of life in jail critics say the law will be used to stamp out all forms of dissent have been spontaneous protests against the new law it follows months of unrestrained by fear of chinas tightening its grip on hong kong the territorys appeal has a Major InternationalFinancial Center stems from its liberal values and independent courts which are now widely perceived to be at risk. Escola straight to agent brown in hong kong for reaction agent i understand hong kongs leader carry lamb has been speaking wests has she been saying well she has been speaking but her message was not really directed at hong kong it was directed really to an International Audience she sent a video message to a human rights conference organized by the United Nations taking place in geneva and essentially it was as you might expect a robust defense of this new National Security law she had a few barbs for those countries whove been criticizing this law saying its an infringement on the one countrys 2 systems formula but also threaten human rights and freedom of speech in hong kong she said those countries were essentially being hypocritical because those countries im so have National Security laws now earlier on choose day carol lam addressed the media here in hong kong but on that occasion she dodged all questions about this security law she did though attend a meeting at hong kongs Central Liaison Office here in hong kong which is sort of chinas defacto embassy where a number of hong kong representatives have now been consulted about this deal because it seems that actually up until a few days ago carol lam herself had not even seen a draft of this legislation according to the local media that there are still a lot of details about this law as you say that are not known but its a ready having an effect on hong kongs politics a dream. Oh absolutely right its had an immediate and sort of Chilling Effect joshua warned earlier on tuesday announced that he was retiring from the party he helped to set up joshua one of course one of the most famous of the prodemocracy activists here in Hong Kong Young prodemocracy activists appears after that the party itself announced that it was desponding and then we heard that 2 other smaller political groups who advocate independence were also dissolved now in many ways thats exactly i think what beijing wants to happen because this law is seen as a warning china is saying you know what are red lines now if you cross those red lines there will be consequences and these are those consequences so i think were going to see a testing time in the next 24 hours or so because the police have banned one protest group from staging a demonstration on july the 1st thats traditionally the day when theres a large march in hong kong they say that anyone taking part in that march will be taking part in an Illegal Assembly and will be arrested but some protest groups are saying they are prepared to test that police ban so july the 1st i think could be potentially potentially a lively day thank you for that Adrian Adrian brown in hong kong forests yes now here from katrina in beijing she says many people are still waiting for details about the new law. Hong kong Liaison Office in beijing as well as hong kong there is an office in hong kong have been holding parallel closed door meetings officials have gone and those are still taking place we know that hong kong delegates are not to Chinas National Peoples Congress that is chinas polman are in attendance in those meetings and we expect that they are currently being briefed on the details of this new National Security law we are yet to hear any announcement from chinas state media any confirmation of this but we do know that the legislative Affairs Commission of the n. P. C. As well as the Hong Kong Office will be holding a press Conference Wednesday to g. M. T. That is 10 am local time to announce the details of this National Security law to the public so we may have to wait until then to hear more about it certainly if we do that will be a very symbolic for china as that is the anniversary of the handover of hong kong from britain back to the mainland 23 years ago or japan in taiwan armandos condemning the new law by china is brushing concerns aside. China has already made clear its position on the japanese opinion regarding hong kong issues hong kongs affairs a chinese internal affairs that there is no place for foreign interference this improvement of the legal system and its enforcement mechanism for upholding National Security in hong kong is in accordance with the one country 2 systems rule.
