A contentious measure that spits it he divided the city was once more defended by its chief executive the legislation oppose imposing legal principles such as presumption of innocence and protection of the rights of the sox that it will have no race respectively fact the critics here say the new law now threatens to stifle even small displays of dissent like this one in a local Shopping Mall on tuesday china is just causing passing a law without without even asking of. Police and not going to the proper procedures the laws passing had an immediate political impact democracy activist joshua wang announced he was resigning from the Political Party he helped found before the party itself was dissolved also desponding 2 other smaller political groups that advocated independence. For hong kong this is the most Dramatic Development since its return from british to chinese rule since then chinas had thousands of troops garrisoned in the city now its secret agents will be able to legally operate here as well a body to gather intelligence will also be set up the timing of this new law is no coincidence wednesday marks the 23rd anniversary of hong kongs handover from britain to china police have sealed off the area around a Convention Center where locals and mainland dignitaries commemorate the event each year before the handover china promised that hong kongs freedoms including an independent legal system would continue for 50 more years to many people here now it seems that promise has been broken in july the 1st is traditionally a symbolic day marked by a large march but police have denied an application for another this year citing the coronavirus and the potential for violence several groups though are vowing to test the ban adrian brown al jazeera hong kong. Martin lee is founding chairman of the united democrats which became the Democratic Party of hong kong it was also the face of the Democracy Movement before the handover in 1970 and he explains how hong kongs power is being eroded. My party will stay on and i will stay in hong kong of course we realize that the prospects of our being put into prison would be very high with the passage of this law but what is really frustrating is that even though b. No this law will be operative tomorrow none of us have seen a copy of it so we dont know what sort of offenses we might be committing tomorrow i mean this is ridiculous but im not too concerned about the actual contents of it because i expect them to be very good code in and and reasonable but the real impact on is much further it is much more serious than that what this piece of legislation in fact for me means. Is that when the British Government returned hong kong to the peoples republic of china 23 years ago it was on the promise of dumb show pink the then paramount head of china that hong kong will be run by hong kong people with a high degree of autonomy which means that apart from defense and Foreign Affairs we the people of hong kong will be masters of our own house in terms of the executive power educated power and judicial power now but a person who does know everything listed instead of hong kong people born in hong kong is now the communist party bordering on instead of being enjoyed a high degree of autonomy now the communist party will be ruling with comprehensive power control now this is what this war is all about that they are now actually defining the new position. Which is its just another chinese city we have no degree a country and all that is this is a problem. They have complete control of even our courts this is what they would do not with every case but they use the code at the ready there is a reason to do some small number of cases china may actually decide 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 says he wasnt told of the intelligence reports because they werent deemed to be credible lets go to our White House Correspondent can be how did he joins us now for more developments and kimberly the republicans were briefed on monday if the democrats have been all being briefed today and sure if it is finished yet but tell us more. Yeah that briefing has wrapped up the democrats a select group of them now back on capitol hill speaking to reporters and not very happy with the briefing they received on this matter in fact theyre saying that what they got was the white house perspective on these allegations that russia paid back to taliban linked fighters in order to kill american soldiers in afghanistan they say democrats say they already knew the white house perspective it was the intelligence perspective they wanted and they didnt get that in fact adam schiff the chair of the House Intelligence Committee saying that the right people were not in the room to give the briefing that they were looking for they also said that they are concerned about the insistence by donald trump that russia should be invited into the g. 7 or to make it the g. 8 saying that russia should not be part of that community of civilized nations and they also say that they believe that is him come but on donald trump the u. S. President also the commander in chief of American Armed forces that he should come before the country to say he is committed to protecting American Service members but instead they say he has been silent and that is something they see is not excusable they also go on to say theyre concerned about the president s ongoing and batu ation they say with Vladimir Putin the russian president so as a result of this briefing its very clear that democrats are not happy and are pressing for more information in fact we know that theyre pressing to have the director of National Intelligence as well as the cia director gee in a house will come to capitol hill to tell them exactly what these allegations are and if russia needs to be held to account will those to moans be heated you think will come this whole thing just be swept aside by the administration. It continues to be d a sort of a growing furor not just among democrats but also some republican members as you pointed out nic there were republicans that were briefed on this after the white house on monday evening and they too were not satisfied in fact they say that its left them with more questions than answers i am going to this 2 anonymoUs Intelligence officials have come forward to really counter what the white house has been saying since sunday and that is that the president was not briefed about all of this but these of not of Us IntelligenceOfficials Say just the opposite in fact theyre saying that they briefed the president late february and that this was also the subject of at least one daily intelligence briefing for the president they also found this to be such a serious allegation that this was disseminated to the wider Intelligence Community so given these allegations given these revelations that the president may have been briefed its unlikely that members of congress are going to let this go rob you can see how it pans out so it can be thanks a lot can we how could there at the white house now Security Forces in sudan have used tear gas against protesters demanding economic and political reform. Activists organize munches across the country in an effort to poll pressure on the Transitional Government some are calling for justice for those killed in the final dispersal of the sit in last year supporters of the former president and well bashir holding a rival ronnie and they speak to morgan whos in the sudanese capital of khartoum and hippa 1st will tell us more about the a protest his grievances. Well nick protesters have taken to the streets after weeks of organizing theyre saying that this is a march or rather process to as they have to correct the path of the revolution now part of the grievances is over the fact that justice has not been delivered yet over the killing of demonstrators since december 28th when protests began against former president ahmed bashir up to june 3rd when a deadly attack when there was a deadly attack on the set them in front of the Army Headquarters in homs suman of the city so theyre demanding justice for all of that theyre also saying that the Transitional Government seems to have handed over a major files to the military the fact that the Peace Process one of the major demands of the revolution is being headed by the military by the by the military members of the Sovereign Council and the fact that the economy is in the hands of the deputy head of the of the Sovereign Council who is a member of the military the head of the rafik the 4th forces general who might have done that in or he made these are things that are not sitting very well with the process that theyre saying that when they took to the streets they wanted a completely civilian rule and yes there was a power sharing agreement that was signed in august 29th so they do understand that there are some things that the military to control of but they knew that as part of that these things were supposed to be confined to security masses and masses that relate to the day to day affairs of the country so theyre saying that all of these things need to be corrected and the government needs to go on with the demands of the revolution and fulfill the details of the agreement which includes appointment of civilian governors and appointing a legislative Transitional Council as i mentioned supporters of former president omar bashir was planning process support for the former president. Well weve seen over the past few months people taking to the streets in support of the former ruling party and condemning the Economic Situation but if you look at the turnout of those people over the past few weeks and you look at todays turnout its obvious that the Transitional Government still has a lot of support now people are saying that this is not a protest all right these are not protests to demand the ousting of the government theyre demanding that the government remember why they came to power remember why they were appointed in the 1st place which is to do 2 to deliver peace justice and accountability for those who are killed so its obvious that they are this government still has support from the people and that was worth noting that the acting head of the former ruling party ibrahim one who was also the former minister of Foreign Affairs in bashir has been arrested last night accused of plotting to sabotage the movement of the Security Forces are saying that theyre expecting that was hijacked and that some members of the former ruling party will infiltrate the protest movement and try to vandalise and destabilize this so weve seen a lot of Security Forces being spread around the state of part of them and in the parts of the country and theyve seen the bridges that lead to the 3 parts of the country completely blocked since yesterday to ensure that movements by the protesters are limited and that they did not reach the Army Headquarters which was the stage for the sit in that eventually led to the ousting of former president ahmed bashir last year or over.
