Of a top soldier the fallout in azerbaijan for the battles with. And foreign student relief in the us the government backed tracks on plans to force them out of classes of talks online. Anyway and you mean and i fear the trends most of us have paid. So then china is vowing retaliation after moves by the governments of the u. S. And the u. K. On 2 different fronts President Donald Trump has announced sanctions against chinese officials over the new National Security law imposed on hong kong signing an executive order to hold beijing accountable hong kong is being stripped of its special trade and economic status and bangs the deal with some chinese officials will also face sanctions. The hong kong or tanami act which i signed this afternoon passed unanimously through congress this law gives my administration powerful new tools to hold responsible the individuals and the entities involved in extinguishing hong kongs freedom weve all watch what happened not a good situation their freedoms been taken away their rights have been taken away and whether it goes in my opinion because it will no longer be able to compete with free markets when earlier the u. K. Announced it was banning chinese tech giant well way from being involved in the development of its new high Speed Mobile Network citing concerns about security while he says the decision was politicized from london is nothing but. A u. Turn by the u. K. Government but one it says was driven by practicalities not politics announcing the total ban on huawei kitted britains planned 5 g. Network by 2027 the culture minister said u. S. Sanctions blocking quote ways use of american microchips would make the company less reliable in the future the best way to secure our networks is for operators to stop using new affected huawei 3 quick meant to build the u. K. s future fight networks so to be clear from the end of this year Telecoms Operators must not buy any 5 g. Equipment from huawei and once the Telecom Security bill is passed it will be illegal for them to do so. The move against way will please washington which has been pressuring the u. K. To act become pretty had expected it its warning u. K. Mobile users will lose out in a statement it says regrettably our future in the u. K. Has become politicized this is about u. S. Trade policy and not security over the past 20 years while way has focused on building a better connected u. K. As a responsible business we will continue to support our customers as we always have done. The British Government hopes the announcement will convince other suppliers to enter the market and fill the gap meanwhile the china skeptics among Boris Johnsons conservative party are largely happy they say National Security must trump worries about an already damaged relationship or relations with a strained over hong kong where china has behaved disgracefully so. Anyone thinking you know when were still in a golden era of relations with china is clearly wrong but so be it i think this is the right decision and we should be calm we want to continue trading with continue commercial relations with the chinese but weve got to be firm of the same time its not clear how quickly or how angrily china will react to britains decision to get rid of quote way kit but other countries will be watching carefully as they to deliberate on whether to ban the company. Aljazeera london. Again a difficult problem is standing by in hong kong but 1st lets go to katrina you in beijing katrina the 1st up this talk about Donald Trumps maneuvering how is the administration responding. Well thomas Foreign Ministry have released a strongly worded statement this morning on wednesday saying that this move by the u. S. Militias leased land as the National Security law in hong kong where they condemned the move they say that give us is again meddling in chinas internal affairs and then it goes on to repeat basically what weve heard as as as the justification from beijing for imposing this National Security law that this is crucial for the perspire ac. And for the future of hong kong that its what the hong kong people want its what the Chinese People want and that beijing will not be intimidated by any of these moves then ends with saying that beijing is considering Counter Measures now it doesnt provide much details of exactly what they that maybe we expect to hear more about that later this afternoon or wednesday but so far we do know that they involve sanctions against certain u. S. Officials and personnel as weve just been hearing at katrina from that he was reported as being a big reversal in the United Kingdom a way tell us more about that and how china is responding there. Thats right so so far we havent had any official response from beijing or huawei without a statement from bali overnight saying that theyre extremely disappointed by this move and this move will only put the u. K. In the digital slow lane increase the Digital Divide and instead of levelling up the u. K. Is levelling down when it comes to its technology and depriving its citizens of the fastest and the best 5 g. Network possible now beijing has always opposed the use the us is moves or any criticism that while they is connected to the government there is of course many suspicions including from the u. K. Government that way is there is a backdoor where dasa is provided from chua way to beijing both the beijing government and huawei have strongly denied this but yet we see very strong reaction from the Chinese Government every time there was a move against sua which only raises that skepticism and of course we had in canada executive mung one joshi was arrested there and we had a strong response from beijing and also consequently 2 canadians were also detained here in beijing so that also raises questions about the independence of huawei the Chinese Government and while they continue to deny this and say that really this is part of a larger ploy by the u. S. And its allies to contain china and the really reacting from feeling insecure about china chinese advances when it comes to 5 g. Technology and the like katrina thanks very much indeed for that circuitry to you there in beijing with that story of that side of the story lets sprint over to hong kong would be a good part of this to anybody. What does this honestly mean trump removing hong kongs special trade status because it actually means for the people. 1st and foremost nic it is the u. S. Saying hong kong is no longer separate from the rest of china not since they handed over 997. 00 hong kong has remained as an autonomous region having its own rights and freedoms that we can we dont see in the rest of china even having its own pos port and this now sends a message saying that the u. S. Just not consider that status anymore for hong kong people it also means that they could potentially lose u. S. Businesses or lose confit Business Confidence maybe not necessarily in monetary terms but Business Confidence in hong kong but the Hong Kong Government has said that this was likely to hurt hong kong more than it would sorry the u. S. More than it would hurt hong kong in the sense that if you look at the numbers the u. S. Has a bigger trade surplus with hong kong then the other way around but the reality is hong kong there are many hong kong businesses that rely on this special status with the u. S. Hong kong as are we export to europe which means that goods and Services Come through hong kong into the u. S. To avoid those trade sanctions and other sanctions that may be or restrictions that china may have been dealing with trade in the u. S. Those rights and freedoms that you referred to a weve seen theres actually the you know the diminishing of those rights is that manifesting itself really for the people on the street. What were seeing is a very rapid change in the way hong kong operates since that National Security law was imposed on the city on july 1st by beijing without any consultation from hong kong what were seeing is for instance today yet another democracy activist was arrested for taking part in protests last year it may or may not have to do with the National Security law we will find out were also seeing that Many Companies here are not concerned about their status the American Chamber of commerce did a survey and said 70 percent of the u. S. Companies are now considering contingency plans should that laura for there come into effect and further erode hong kong but also Media Companies arent affected for instance the New York Times today announced that theyre moving their major operation operations from hong kong into seoul and there is concern that many other Media Companies will follow suit and on top of that hong kongs local broadcaster r t h k which is based on the b. B. C. And impartiality and independence is not coming under review starting from today and there is concern that off to that 6 month review it will just become another propaganda must be so there is a lot of concern on the ground that the effects of this National Security law are coming hard and fast or a degree thanks very much and if thats a picture from hong kong to the cupola reporting. 11 soldiers from azerbaijan and 2 from armenia have been killed as fighting escalates of the border tensions between the former soviet republics has been escalating for several years as a battle over a disputed region open for us to walk as this report.
