For scotlands leader and disapproval of braggs it driving renewed support for independence from the u. K. Australia has suspended its extradition treaty with hong kong in response to china imposing a new security law its also extending visas for hong kong residents in australia and offering them ways to get permanent residency the government is warning citizens in the territory they could be at greater risk of being arrested under the new legislation punishes a range of crimes including criticizing the government with harsh prison sentences and our government together with other governments around the world have been very consistent in expressing our concerns about the imposition of the National Security law on hong kong and. Today we have agreed to announce that that National Security law constitutes a fundamental change of circumstances in respect to extradition agreement with hong kong and nicolette gage is live for us now from sydney necker as im sure you know china is the top trading partner of australia its in the top 10 or foreign direct investors how much concern is about retaliation from china. Well this will no doubt infuriate beijing which will see it as a strongly a trying to meddle in its own internal affairs and we need to remember that china is a strangely its biggest trade partner and throughout this time weve seen heightened temp diplomatic tensions and that has led to huge problems in the Agricultural Industry with high tariffs on bali some beef imports suspended and this has really escalated since a strangely out cold for a an inquiry into the origins of coronavirus which obviously 1st resort outbreak in the chinese city of walk on some businesses are no doubt nervous right now but the Australian Government says the situation has absolutely changed since these controversial new security rules have been imposed in china and it wanted to respond appropriately with this change in extradition ties obviously follows the canadian government making a similar decision and its all because there are concerns that if the stroller does extradite someone to hong kong they could end up in the mainland of china under these new loans how easy is it going to be for people from hong kong kamin australia take advantage though some of those these are concessions. Well right now there are about 10000. 00 hong kong students and skilled workers based in australia and the announcement that they promise to Scott Morrison mainly looks at those people right now so for those people currently in australia they will be able to extend their visas by 5 years with the potential of then becoming permanent residents and a really interesting point here is that these showing government really spoke to businesses in hong kong. Im saying that they want to be in tossing them with incentives to move away from hong kong and set up shop in australia and with that they will be bringing visas in as well so businesses and their staff could potentially become permanent residents here many people were hoping for a humanitarian intake here obviously the u. K. Prime minister Boris Johnson made an announcement that some people in hong kong could get citizenship over there this doesnt go as far as that some would say that this is quite modest the Main Opposition Party did want to go further than this so right now its really about those 10000 students and skilled workers in a stroller but there is potential as well for future skilled workers in hong kong to move over the focus really being on getting these businesses across and of course this will absolutely beijing at a time when diplomatic tensions are extremely high between the 2 countries all right nicola gauge there from sydney heavy rain is hampering rescue and Recovery Efforts in southern japan following widespread flooding and landslides at least 59 people have died work is underway in some areas to clear the rubble downpours are common of this time of the year but meteorologists say rain clouds and stayed above japan for longer than usual.

Definitely frustrated but also i think understanding that this is necessary theyve seen those numbers jump up just 3 days ago we had 191 new cases here in victoria and that comes after it wasnt really that long ago that we had a few days with 0 new cases so people really do understand that but of course heartbreaking for cafe owners the gym owners Business People who were just getting back on their feet after their last lockdown and it is being enforced were on a checkpoint here just out of melbourne where police are currently blocking one of the major freeways out of the city now we have called us on a shift change here of the police so theyre not stopping cars at the moment but they have been pulling cars over on a random basis and asking people why they are leaving melbourne there are only 4 reasons why people should be leaving melbourne and the fines if you if you dont have a valid reason for about 1600. 00 astronomy and dollars which is a fair bit and for a lot of people that would really sting japans capital tokyo has reported a record daily high of new corona virus infections 220 on thursday the city has been struggling to slow a resurgence in cases which have bounce back since restrictions were lifted in late may 1st days record is the highest spike in new cases since april the 17th support for Scottish Independence is higher than its ever been polling is consistently suggesting well over 50 percent of scots want to leave the United Kingdom its been attributed to scotlands success in controlling coronavirus compared to england and the overwhelming hostility towards braggs it lawrence lee reports from scotland. Bert has been dreaming of Scottish Independence for as long as he can remember he regards the english establishment as imperialists who stamped all over scotland just as they did the colonies the fact that the Independence Campaign narrowly lost the referendum 6 years ago doesnt matter to him because he believes his day are still coming the us people who are still there theyre still as strong as the where the people that were marching the people that march in march hes in glasgow and edinburgh and all over and theyre still there you know they havent given up but and they want.

And going it alone polls around 65 percent here now its going in that direction everywhere else as well trust in the scottish 1st minister nicolas sturgeon has rocketed since she appeared to be in control of the virus response in edinburgh while the government in london is widely regarded as chaotic and incompetent add to that the outright hostility in scotlands a brick sits and has a lot of good news for scottish nationalists they have of the survey that the u. K. Government have been so inept and their handling that i think it has persuaded a lot of people who perhaps were not supporters of independence that we cannot chile manage to interfere is better and i think when you look at how nicholas sturgeon the Scottish Government of handle the pandemic is a big contrast to Boris Johnson and you keep government the question increasingly being asked here is how big a lead to the nationalists have to have before it becomes impossible for london to refuse another referendum on independence the extraordinary collision of the Pandemic Response and brics states have combined to put support for Scottish Independence across the country surrounds 54 percent and theres not even any Independence Campaigning going on the view among scottish nationalists is that the government in london is doing a very good job on their behalf.
