my name is phil long, so i'm one of the circle, hong kong wanted hong kong national law. i was also one of the 10000 arrestees of the hong kong pro democracy movement. going to have you and i welcome back to the string reminder audience you are and what you do. i'm american national, sharing independent commentator. i'm on over $24.00 channels in china and internationally for any given month by month, 12 channels been year 24. so i guess i'm going to start with how much do you think hong kong has changed in the last 12 months with the national security law being now in place? this is what we offer our online community. and here is one response. i would love to see thin and katrina and i know if you agree, let's take a look. since the implementation of the national security law is chilling facts of c, t p goes everyday life. so for instance, many put mark would be patient to spend the time and then politicians being present i've gone into exile further in educational spaces, textbooks, and public library books to the democracy and sensor to pull off the shelf and journalis

hong kong, dominant broadcaster t v b. and it's leading english newspaper, the south china morning post for those outlet minutes to hold out against the pressure vanishing, wielded in considerable commercial muscle boycotting advertisements and pro democracy tabloids like apple daily. regardless, holden cho, the vice chairman of the largest probation party in hong kong government, denies any crack down on the cities, media freedoms. i think it's time for me to build these. i'm recruit and unwarranted accusation. the media enjoy all the freedom of brass. nothing less than before is all vibrant and very diverse people with me or hong kong by saying, wow, all the past few years is seems that there are some sort of crack down on the sand and stuff like that. of course they smearing. i think those confluence of events here that made this crack down kind of inevitable here in hong kong. she didn't think came into power. it was a very hard line attitude. and then you have people here start pushing for more democracy that really g

you end up in hong kong. you just can't talk genuinely about your thoughts choice, the beijing government, what the status phone call of human rights activist. not only themselves being intimidated orchard their loved ones, including the wife to not be intimidated valence or even also child. so for me, when i realized that i would be leaving hong kong issue, a complex statement about differing my ties with my families. so i think i did a very difficult choice, but that choice was for the safety and well being of my family of all allow me to say that mr. nathan lau in front of you is most appro democracy activist is a fugitive from the law of hong kong that beijing government has always been trying to mammy troublemaker fall in fact, her or anything that they could hundreds my reputation of course talking you individually, but they are also trying to describe the whole movement, who's even in london, i still do, rather the cautious about my safety. we all understand how extensive china's reach could be thought

so in hong kong, because they gave her a call in hong kong. mentioned 60 low. this is the last, the freedom of speech, of this angry press freedom. i think freedom and other civil liberties because of our office a few quick time off daily. we have lost their last pro democracy newspaper, hong kong. so our mission, gordon, is that we have witnessed, there is no real flaw. so we have lost the protection of the private property rights. we've also lost the freedom of the press. so i don't thing hong kong could be qualified as an international financial center anymore. well, i would really highly doubt that if that, i mean the number of i p o that are going through hong kong are very high level right now in terms of the overall, i mean, hong kong is now peaceful. you're not having the kind of chaos that you has for 4 years since 2014. i mean there's a lot of people who are affected by that. there been interviews with them. they were running small businesses. they're very dependent on the tourism trade and things like this. so they really kind of, you know, it depend

it's hong kong strategy. the beginning, perhaps from 20 or 3 when there's mark change or tactic of a change was towards hong kong, more control, more innovations and more presence in the way we've gotten to media, not in meal to those strange of strategy. so beginning from that, we've seen the media and dumble direct and indirect pressure because we got that pilot. see, we have to hung on stop fun and i will enjoy all home from people in current one. sometimes i think they told topic on what you go home again, and i tell my certainly with my mike in the or the me, me being china's tougher approach to hong kong was solidified in 2012. when cj in ping was appointed general secretary of the communist party in 2014 c, radically changed the election process for the cities. my senior political representative, the chief executive jungle june, figured out what if i bought your gun term that? sure, sure. so we shut down the push to enable sure, sure, don't go and they don't change. infuriated hong kong and for $79.00

rights of the people of hong kong from the hong kong sar government. whatever apple daily did is not exercise of freedom of expression orfreedom of press. it is actually sedition. and i don't think any country will allow its newspaper to call on another foreign country to sending troops to hong kong to remove the hong kong sar government, to overthrow the hong kong sar government, and to drive the prc central government away from hong kong, which is part of hong kong, part of china. so i would say, let's call a spade a spade. there are political forces in hong kong which, for many years, denied that hong kong is part of china. they want to return hong kong back to the british, which is impossible. they want to return hong kong to the americans. they wave american flags in the streets of hong kong. they try to raise the tensions between china and the united states, and there are forces in the united states which fuel these frenzies, so... all right, victor gao. .. ..let�*s call a spade a spade. ..we're almost out of time. you've lived through many dif

prominent hong kong journalists. this is a story that we covered last month which had a huge response from our viewers. you will remember the pictures from that coverage, these are pictures of the final night that hong kong had one last independent pro-democracy newspaper. the newspapers called apple daily. they have their offices raided by hundreds of hong kong police officers. police officers took their computers and their hard drives, and the documents they had, the newspaper had their assets frozen so they could no longer pay for operations or their employees. and after all of that, as their executives and journalists were getting arrested one by one, they shut themselves down. as the staff of apple daily prepared the last edition of that newspaper, last month, hong kong residents gathered outside in the rain, they turned on the flashlights on their cellphones, the journalists inside the offices would see that they were out there, they would know that they were there for support. the journalists turned on the lig

you can review hong kong's status. hong kong has different rules in terms of financial transactions than mainland china that was carved out. the key thing i say in my book is we have to acknowledge as americans we have not prioritized human rights in our relationship with china. we prioritized profit and open market for the last 30 years. the chinese party has taken that signal. when i say "we," i don't just mean the u.s. government. i mean u.s. companies that have swallowed some pretty difficult things in order to be in the chinese market. i mean the u.s. entertainment industry. you had john cena apologizing to the chinese government to keep himself on the movie screens there because he said something about taiwan. we have to decide as americans whether our top priority in our relationship with china across the born, informing our dip ploem assie, our economic policy, will be our values. if we are honest, we have gone to the mat with china about how many soybeans they buy from the united states more than on issues lik

laws in hong kong. i think the reality is likely to be a built nuanced here because i think hong kong authorities are going to be careful not to disrupt hong kong's role as a financial center. but it is an area that is i think fairly new for firms, and just given the sweeping nature of some of these chinese laws, you know, it's certainly a possibility. >> reporter: we recently talked to a hong kong resident and activist glacier kong who moved to europe because after the imposed she didn't feel safe in hong kong. let's take a listen to what she said. >> i think one of the most visible changes i see, people self-censoring themselves. like, people are afraid to talk about things, like, because under the law, a lot of things are not allowed. in hong kong, the freedom of the press is no longer existing. the freedom of speech, the freedom of expression, the freedom of peaceful assembly. these are all gone. >> do businesses their those concns? >> they do so the quan airy in the coal mine here are the sectors t

it's grip on hong kong. post the pandemic economy, and it's things are starting to open up around businesses around the world, especially in hong kong. now that is something that it bothers me as an american, that the only one person that we saw really sounding the alarm about this was, was president trump course, you know, last year the chinese now keep this in mind. the chinese passed a law in hong kong, the nfl, the national security law, which basically said if you protest, if we think you're causing trouble, you can be arrested and the maximum penalty is life in prison. and i've seen a massive, massive change since that laws been in place of companies move in to, to other companies, countries around asia like singapore, singapore, as i work with a lot of people and singapore, now that i used to work with in hong kong, thailand, the philippines, vietnam and it is made a big impact. it basically took a lot of it basically basically a punch in the face of the british when they handed over hong kong. and it

kong and early turn, hong kong from the relatively free society that it was into an authoritarian state model, preferred by beijing. micro costs are really, really good to get your thoughts. thank you about talking to al jazeera. thank you . thank you. now i've got to the sounds, government is sending reinforcements to the north of the country where taliban fighters forced more than a 1000 troops to flee across the border. their advance is raising fears. the military will collapse, one's foreign forces complete their withdrawal. in september, while the group has been gaining ground across afghanistan, district shaded in orange on government controlled, contested districts are in green and the air is in purple or under taliban control . this means that taliban fighters may have surrounded population centers, including strategically important cities. a number of districts and who control them is disputed under ship out reform. things are quiet at bagram air base. once the nerve center of america's longest running war, 800000 us troops were here during the course of the past 20 years. the

[indiscernible] it is going to be the biggest multi sports event in hong kong. it will be organized by the community but also supported by the community. we are not asking the government for funding. the only thing we need is venues. it is estimated you need 56 different venues. the other half are government venues. we don't need to build infrastructure. we believe that having big events here would be a great opportunity to showcase those events to the world. >> your life story has been very interesting. you have an open life as a paralympic. as well as a queer athlete. tell us about the challenges you had to overcome. how inclusive and supportive do you think the sports world has been? >> i have been one of the lucky ones. i have been able to lead the way -- live the way i do because of the support i have around me. i family and my friends

i think hong kong authorities will be careful, not to disrupt hong kong's role as a financial center. but it is an area that is i think fairly new for firms. and given the sweeping nature of some of these chinese laws, you know, it is certainly a possibility. nick: we talked to a hong kong resident recently, and activist, who moved to europe. after the national security law was imposed, she did not feel safe in hong kong. let's listen to what she said. [clip] >> one of the most visible changes i see is self-centering themselves. people afraid to talk about things. under the law the freedom of the press is no longer existing. the freedom of speech, peaceful assemblies, these are gone. nick: do businesses share those concerns? >> they do. the canary in the coal mine are sectors most sensitive to the information environment. that is chnology companies and media companies. several of those firms have already announced they are leaving hong kong. something like financial services, is a more nuanced area. they are less directly exposed. so they are worried about it, but it is not yet the ki

it gives everyone that comes in hong kong. you don't have to have a visa to go into hong kong. it gives you the sense that you're doing business in europe or us. it's a global magnet, but the chinese it really close to, to stepping on their, their own cash cow by doing this. because if they start cracking down, enforcing american companies and other companies from other countries to abide by the chinese while the way they do in beijing or shanghai, then you're going to see you're going to see a lot of problems with companies coming there. it's going to get a reputation as basically china light, which would turn into china. and that's, that's not what you want to see. and hong kong, roger, we've always seen what's happened when they put more restrictions on business here in the u. s. imagine the same thing can happen abroad as well. thanks so much for joining us and best wishes to you and your company. returning to the news of the visit between president biden and chancellor andrew angle, mark merkel, they were joined by fair friends who is just getting back in the white house.

adrian brown joins me now live from hong kong. adrian, tell us a little bit more about this alleged plot. well the police address the media several hours ago saying they had floated, what they believe was a campaign to carry out a series of bombings in hong kong. the targets including the cross hob, a tunnel as well as course. what makes it so shocking though kim is that some of those arrested are just 15 years old. 6 teenagers, 15 years old, as well as a secondary school teacher. now the police say that during that raid, they seized a number of bum making chemicals. they've also frozen the assets of the group that amounts to about $70000.00 us dollars. now they didn't go into a great deal of information in detail about how they found out about this group. but it's quite clear they be monitoring this group for a number of weeks, if not months. they say that the school children were recruited because it's believed they and their families, what you to leave hong kong in the next few months. now why this is important is that just a f

hong kong. what is the purpose. it is this purely messaging to the chinese government that if they start cracking down on data and u.s. ipos of chinese companies that the u.s. will retaliate with these types of measures? annmarie: part of it is messaging, after we saw what happened with bb which many u.s. investors were a part of given that ipo in new york. part of it is that they want to map out the framework that there has been a change in hong kong and we have seen that since last year with the national security threat law, what is happening in terms of press freedoms in hong kong with the apple daily edition. there are a number of things that have been stacking up. as you say, it really is just another layer of the tit-for-tat between beijing and washington and while many were expecting a softer tone from this administration on beijing, it is not happening. they have kept those guardrails in place from the trump administration and they are going harder. lisa: the biden administration has the

reporter: hong kong was promised political freedoms. today, many fear the freedoms are being eroded. laura: bill cosby is a free man after the pennsylvania supreme court overturned his conviction for sexual assault. mr. cosby was convicted in 2018. his was the first high-profile sexual assaults trial in the aftermath of the #metoo movement which saw women speaking out. michelle, we saw bill cosby appear in public, he did not say much. but how are his legal team reacting? >> lawyers said this is justice being served. their client spent the last two years here. he was serving three to 10 years for three counts of sexual assault for drugging and molesting. that was the only case despite various accusers leveling charges over the years. the judge came out in pennsylvania's top court and said because of the deal he had reached with the previous prosecutor, the trial should never have taken place. laura: is there any reaction from the victim? reporter: we have not heard from her, but gloria allred came out and said she could not imagine how t

andrew lo runs an immigration consultancy in hong kong. he says initial news of the bill sparked panic. >> our phones rang up like crazy. everyone was pushing our staff, asking, “can you get me the visa on or before the end of july? i'm very worried that we cannot leave hong kong.” >> reporter: his company has been operating for more than 30 years, and seen waves of migration before-- especially around the time of hong kong's 1997 handover from britain to china. but he says, this time, the mood of his clients has changed. >> today is different from the old days. they decide to go and not come back. they are so determined. you see, even i have a client-- he has three properties in hong kong. he sold all three properties. in the old days, people would keep at least one, just in case they want to return. >> reporter: the government dismisses the concerns. it says the new immigration bill will only target people it calls "fake refugees," who try to enter the city illegally, or who claim they can't be deported after arriving. >> ( translate

yes, i think hong kong hong kong. yes, ithink hong kong is hong kong. yes, i think hong kong is seen as a sort of weakness with xi jinping and the communist party rule. the introduction of national security law is also on july one. national security law is also onjuly one. that is something that has created lots of tension, both in hong kong and also generated a lot of criticism abroad as well. that erosion of hong kong's autonomy, democratic rights, the closing of apple daily. these are all things that are seen as a resurgence of authoritarian rule. and now it is seen in hong kong as well. this is perhaps not something to be celebrated by the communist party but it is certainly happening as we speak. certainly happening as we seak. ., ~ certainly happening as we seak. ., ,, ,, certainly happening as we seak. . ~' ,, , . speak. 0k, thank you very much. thank you- _ canada is marking its national day on thursday, but celebrations have been overshadowed by the discovery of more indigenous graves at a former residential school run by the catholic church. t

hong kong stocks are down about 6% in the last two days. when you look at the gmm, you wonder where the panic as. -- is. this follows on a lot of pain yesterday. the two day move is 4.5% and that is when they have already fallen to the bottom of the range. they had a bad friday, a bad close to the week. this has broken through the year to date lows. and the rest of the world is seeing stocks hit fresh highs. the other thing to draw attention to on the gmm screen is the fact that the commodities column, the bloomberg commodity spot index reached a 10 year high yesterday. and again today, we see the commodities going higher. it has been driven by the climate affected stocks including natural gas. it is broader. oil prices are up again despite the opec deal. and the other thing is that the stock market that is performing better is australia. it is a less tech focused index. it is commodity heavy. the fact that it is doing well despite the chinese pain is because commodities continue to surge. and that divergence is not sustainable forever. >>

hong kong stocks giving a lift after china makes it easier to list ipo's in hong kong. i wanted to point out nasdaq futures, down for basis points. the rest of the american futures complex is moving higher. very interesting. big tech underperforming. it underperformed yesterday as well. one of the shining parts of the equity market, no longer carrying us, 10 year yield at 131. a little bit of selling in the asian session. that matches the buy-in from yesterday's u.s. session. cable basically unmoved. policymakers sounding more hawkish. moving back over to the fed. jay powell is defending the central bank stands to keep providing support to the u.s. economy. that's as inflation runs at uncomfortable levels. take a listen. >> this is a shock going through the system associated with reopening of the economy. it has driven inflation well above 2%. we are not comfortable with that. that particular inflation is unique in history. we don't have another example of the last time we were open to $20 trillion economies. we are trying to understand the base case and the risks. dani

and it is a test case for hong kong to this re system, this law and our on parallel to hong kong, highly vaunted highly respected common law system. and yet, it also undermines that in many are concerned that you know, the fact that this law is, will have no jury and that bail is not a right here. and many said that it's even presumed guilty until proven innocent instead of the way the common law system should work. so there is a great amount of interest in this case here, despite the fact that it is likely to run for a very long time, it is on president it. and the next session will be on september 23, d d a. it's been a year since the national security law came into effect in hong kong. what impact has it had on the cities pro democracy movement tools left in it and what's next? you know, it's hard to believe the kind of impact it has had on hong kong. we did just being about a year and a week old, but it has affected almost every part of life. for one thing, we don't see protests anymore. and fact, a very rarely even see any, anything related to protest, be the slogan or a picture. th
