To kill american soldiers. Even if. We visit a town in britain where work is becoming increasingly scarce. Outlines his plan to rescue the economy and his for the africa cup of nations has been postponed by you to coronavirus the consonance biggest sporting event in cameroon in 2022. All right then china is about to impose a new security law on hong kong 23 years after it took back control and promised a one country 2 systems policy well its now been signed by president xi jinping and will be enforced in the coming hours and i think it defines as acts of secession subversion terrorism or collusion with Foreign Forces could lead to life in prison critics say the law will be used to stamp out all forms of dissent. There have already been spontaneous protests in hong kong and some opposition parties have announced that they are disbanding the u. K. The e. U. Japan and taiwan have all criticized the more but china has dismissed their concerns as interference in internal affairs lets get reaction straight away out of hong kong major brown is live for us there and adrian so weve heard from the chief executive kerry and what she had to say. Well kerry was addressing not so much the people of hong kong she was projecting her words to an International Audience thats to say a gathering of human rights delegates at a conference in geneva organized by the United Nations again interesting time in the kerry should be addressing this conference on this of all days now jury in her address to these delegates she wanted to assure them that hong kongs freedoms would remain she said that this new law would not be applied retroactively and she said that this was a law there was going to make hong kongs legal system so much better lets listen more to what the chief executive had to say no Central Government could turn a blind eye to such threats to suffer n. T. And National Security as well as results of their ship of state power or in or these acts have crossed the one country red line and called for a wrestler to action as the highest organ of state power in china the National Peoples congress has to constitutional power and the duty to enact National Security legislation for the hong kong as they are so a journey the law is only just been signed but its already having its effect in hong kong. You know thats right this law could take effect in just a few hours time certainly in time for the july the 1st handover anniversary of course that happening exactly 23 years ago yes it has been having a chilling and immediate political impact here in Hong Kong Joshua wang the young leader of the prodemocracy demo sisto party has announced hes resigning from the party but then just a few hours after that the party announced it was dissolved 2 other smaller political groups that have advocated independence for hong kong of also announced theyre being disbanded so the mood here is i suppose depending on who you talk to its a mood of commiseration on one side celebration on the other when we spoke to ordinary people rather try to speak to ordinary people in the streets of hong kong today nobody wanted to offer a view about this new law a few days ago i met a guy 43 years old 2 children married hes planning to leave hong kong joining the brain drain he didnt want to give his name because hes worried about the impact that would have on his application to leave the country for canada and of course he has his family here but he said that talking to me he felt like a criminal a dissident and the fact that he felt compelled to say that is a measure of the atmosphere we now have in hong kong but of course we dont really know whats going to happen that the devil is in the detail on this floor it is a vast floor that extends to many pages and the coming months weeks days as i say will determine whether this is simply just a warning to groups in hong kong who have been calling for independence secession or whether china is really going to carry through with this or a journey of their ferment agent brown reporting from hong kong. To sudan now where Security Forces have used tear gas against protesters demanding economic and political reform. Yes activists organize marches right across the country to paul pressure on the Transitional Government some are calling for justice for those killed in the violent dispersal of the sit in last year supporters of the former president. Also holding a rifle or rallies lets speak now to have a morgan whos in the sudanese capital of culture human just monitoring events. The 1st anniversary of the power sharing deal between the military and civilians so its more about whats going on. Well nicholas 1st of all be clear this is not the 1st anniversary of the power sharing agreement between the protest movement and the Transitional MinistryCouncil President i want to share but this is the 1st anniversary of the 30th of june protests that took place last year which forced the protest movement and the transitional minutes relievers to come together to negotiate an agreement which was eventually signed in august 29th seen now protesters have taken to the streets today after days of calls and mobilization by various political actors and Civil Society actors including the Sudanese Professional Association now thats the body that has been spearheading calls for protests since december 28th which eventually led to the overthrow of president im going bashir protesters are saying that the revolution is incomplete that there are so many things theyve been demanding since the beginning of the revolution that has not been achieved including justice for the people who were killed during demonstrations and during the sit in during the attack on the sit in on june 3rd theyre also saying that their demands of the civilian government is incomplete because there is no legislative kindly transitional a Transitional Legislative Assembly and there are no civilian governors so lots of demands by process that were also seeing some members some supporters of the former ruling party taking part in those protests the together with those who are demanding the correction as they say correction of the south of the revolution theyre saying that the Economic Situation has not improved in fact it has deteriorated so theyre demanding that the government step down and bring power back to the former ruling party supporters. The former president are also holding these rival protests. How much support is this bill for bush years. What weve seen over the past few months are several 100 thinking to the street thing that again because of the Economic Situation they feel like the government has failed and that the former going to party should come back to power or that the military should take complete control so its obvious that the former ruling party does still have support on the ground but if you look at the turnout for when they called for protest and for that and look at the turnout today which is nationwide its clear that people morsy support the Transitional Government now they have repeated that this is not a call to overthrow this is a call to make sure that the government is pressurized to make sure that the demands of the revolution of freedom justice and peace is met and is implemented as for the goals of the revolution or have a thanks for that update here morgan speeches from car to.

So Donald Trumps relationship with Vladimir Putin is again being scrutinized after russia denied making bounty payments to taliban fighters in afghanistan to kill u. S. Soldiers the u. S. Director of National Intelligence says the allegations were still being investigated President Trump said he wasnt told of the intelligence reports because they were deemed to be credible. Rubble its a little bit we can speak to a White House CorrespondentKimberly Harkat so kimberly 1st whats the white house been saying about its allegations. Yeah well the white house is briefing democratic members of congress at least a select group just hours after it did the same thing for republicans late on monday evening but in the midst of all of this the white house continues to deny that the president was briefed about this alleged scheme by russia to pay the taliban linked fighters to essentially kill u. S. Service members in afghanistan now well the white house is denying that the president was briefed on this to intelligence officials anonymously have come forward saying that they in fact briefed the president about this that the president knew about this in the least late february and also that this was included in the president s daily intelligence briefing and in fact this was considered to be so serious that this was disseminated more broadly to the wider Intelligence Community as late as it may now the focus of this has really been a concern that this scheme may have in fact led to the deaths of at least 3 americans in afghanistan following a car bomb attack that went back to a full of 2019 now the taliban is denying involvement russia has also denied involvement through a spokesperson for the russian president Vladimir Putin but we can tell you that in fact the white house is instead of sort of trying to say that it knew anything about this is tot trying to discredit this story in fact really pushing back on the source of these leaks saying that they jeopardize National Security and also the pentagon saying that it is investigating and says so far it has no corroborating evidence to validate these allegations. How serious is this food donald trump who are you pretty good at sweeping stuff aside isnt he is this something he can do this time round. Oh its just goes back to what you alluded to at the start of the segment its this ongoing question with donald trump and his relationship with russia and that is what many of the questions are coming from and not just democratic members of congress but also some concerns coming from republican members of congress they say that they remain very concerned about russian activity in afghanistan they say they need more details more briefings and that they want to vigorously pursue this situation and democrats are saying they want to know what specifically the president knew when he knew it and they want all members of congress to know this information they really just once again sort of ask that lingering question that has haunted donald trump from the beginning of his administration and that is why is he not tougher on russia and given these revelations if they are proven to be true will he hold the russian president to account or it can be things where much of it can be how could there the white house that is the u. S. Perspective lets get the other side of the russian perspective puzzle folks in how as Defense Military analyst and columnist for the know you because i tell you joins us now from moscow. The russian side of the crimean also denying this of course so tell us more about the position. Well moscow is denying very very with a lot of energy a lot of emphasis that this is a fake story that this is a provocation by the democrats by and the mare Russian Forces in the United States and basically the moscow officials in the moscow press are very much quote president from band the white house who are also discrediting the story and saying that this is not cooperated that this is not true and that has been the moscow line that we never did then you such things and this is just a lie a provocation aimed that trump and that russia at the same time is it the sort of thing that could happen in the theater of war that a military Intelligence Unit would offer taliban linked militants bounties to kill u. S. Troops could happen. Well its not clear from where this information actually came possibly there were some or a force that this could be. Taliban prisoners during interrogation giving up such a story where there was a true and was it not its not easy to actually prove and the pantry russia actually didnt want the americans to move out of ghana stand didnt want them to have an agreement with the taliban and those trying to sabotage such an agreement that could be a plausible story theoretically but was it really happening or not thats a different thing there are different kind of interactions between different forces in the field in afghanistan and rather strange bedfellows actually sometimes appears theyre right these ongoing questions about donald trump and his relationship with Vladimir Putin his relationship with russia how is that viewed within russia itself that what the people make of the. Donald trump is seeing as kind of basically pro russian though his rule has be very cruelly to say so and hopes that were in the beginning in 60 end of 1617. 00 that theres going to be. Some kind of major rip pressure between washington and moscow never materialized no one is accepting that and theyre hoping for that but if he is ripped waste by a Democratic Administration by your obeid nary wonder stands that true ation ships of washington most likely will take a serious turn to the worse but again russian Officials Say that they relations are right now so bad its hard to make them much worse than they are already been a could get worse couldnt it because this could spiral and the president met with some republicans yesterday meeting democrats today and the republicans and they expressed alarm that this sort of thing might have happened in calling for action to be taken against president putin and against russia well there can be more serious sanctions against russia from during his rule actually is talking a lot about sanctions and there were legislation passed by congress but nothing really that much happened the man the very serious sanctions the last ones were in december 16 by the outgoing bomb administration so yes there could be sanctions that get it russia. The russian Financial Sector and thats understood that there are things could get worse its a bit of a broad when russian Officials Say they cant get worse so they can and they would pummel d appreciate that Pavel Felgenhauer from the vehicles at the thank you very much. Now the u. K. s Prime Minister johnson says the britons cannot continue to be in his words a prisoners of the Coronavirus Crisis hes outlined his vision for boosting the devastated because to me after the pandemic the full roadmap will be unveiled next week but he says it focuses on attracting investment not cutting spending we must work fast because weve already seen the vertiginous drop in g. D. P. And we know that people are worried now about their jobs and their businesses and were waiting as if between the flash of lightning and the thunder clap with our hearts in our mouths for the full economic reverberations to appear. Well there are affairs unemployment in the u. K. Could rise to levels not seen since 1980 s. In the wake of the pandemic now there is largely now brings us the story of the u. K. Town with the 2nd highest Unemployment Rate in the country he reports from the run valley in south wales where there are now more than 60 people chasing every job every shuttered shop every collapsed business tells a story of last hope theres barely a soul around volleyed hasnt had a single customer all day so hes closing early its not that somebody closing down this shop. All with. But. Theyre going to help us. Do you pretend its for 34 months this is ok. If you know you lose everything everybody lose their job. Randa valley used to be thriving the largest coal seam in britain led to the villages being built around the mines but its all been gone for 40 years and the communities are stranded there are now 63. 00 people chasing every job here is the 2nd highest Unemployment Rate in the entire u. K. Boris johnsons government was elected on an express promise to what he called level up provide vast amounts of Financial Support to the left behind communities around the u. K. Like this and that was in december before the virus even came here all thats done is to massively amplify enormous problems that were already there. Many of these places dont even have a railway line connecting them to the big cities but even if thats what the government side dhea of Infrastructure Spending looks like its directly at odds with what the run the says it really needs which is a new sustainable local economy to replace the one that disappeared weve suffered in the past where jobs have been created by Large Companies are coming in and taking grants and exploited no wage labor and then up sticks and left as soon as the Economic Conditions change if we were able to invest in people owning their own businesses in the form of cooperatives people actually own in the means of production then theyre more likely to stay in these communities and i see no reason it or why government comp be investing in that way now and what will johnson do to immediately re
