cebetween and demonsators. cannons and tear gas we used. anthere have been mor 350 arrests. 10w of them related to the law, which targe subversion and terrorism with punishments up to life in prison. here is an example of what constitutes an offense. ng kong police tweeting, three females arrested for showing materials with hong kong independence slogans, violating the law. anyone who organizes plans, commits, or participate in committing secession or undermining national ubefication shal guilty of an offense. that is three women arrested for holding banners with independence slogans. that has scared pro-democracy campaigners. >> it is vague. hong kong people can easy trot into these lines accidtally

with horrible consequences, the maximum penalty is life imprisonment. anchor: another poker democracy campaigner has previously called for hong kong independence. this is what he had to s today. >> do i support hong kongen indepe? you're almost asking me to be in for ove10 years. we are not able to say independence. once i say that, i can be arrested. anchor: today marks 23 years since hong kong was handed back to china. ever since, people in the territory have enjoyed freedoms that do not exist in china. the agreement is known as one country, two systems, it was supposed to last for 50 years. under that deal, hong kong have to enact its own national security law. that never happened because of its unpopularity. last year, these were the scenes. protests under a law turned violent and turned into an anti-china and pro-democracy

movement. china does not want to see that again. so it stepped in. supporters of the law argue it will only affect a small number of people and is essential t restore stability to hong kong. >> we need a lot to get back to normal, weav need a lot toa normal hong kong life back. before all this happens in hong sorry, i'm sobump intomeone, i'm you. we have turned into this violence last year and that is no way we can start this. anchor: it k is not just hog residents who could face harsh penalties. the law applies to offenses commted outside of hong kong by nonresidents, if foreigners commit offenses overseas, they can be prosecuted when entering the territory. mike pompeo has described it as an affront to all nations.

>> uni right now, in our conversation, if someone in hong kong decides it violates the law, underminesti china's al security, if either of us goes to hong kong, we are potentially liable to prosecution. >> that is worrying for many people, obviously. >> it is not just journalists. students, scholars, everyone who has an opinion who would like to express it. at the professor says, this has implications for journalists and we are seeing it impact freelance journalists in hong kong. hong kong new site for independent writers and democracy advocates has taken down 100 articles at the request of authors. it has been mandate for defiance but a is spreading through the city.

law is a breach of the treaty between china and the u.k., which gave hong kong its degree of independence. fhere is the eign secretary. >> it is sad -- it is a sad day for the people of hong kong and undermines national trust -- international trust in china to live up to its promises. anchor: boris johnson has sent a strong message by allowing up to 3 million people in hong kong who have british overseas status because theye born before the territory returned to china to live and work in the u.k. for longer. this is what he had to say. >> we make it clear that if china continued down this path, we would reintroduce a new route for those with british national overseas status to enter the u.k. granting them limited leave toli remain with the a to live and work in the u.k. and thereafter to apply for citizenship and that is precisely what we will do now. anchor: our china corilspondent

saysons of hong kong citizens could end up moving to the u.k. after that announcent . he points out the chinese government has been furious with the u.k. for threatening such a move. warning london not to risk unspecified retribution. now that this has happened, we are waiting for china's response. howard, what do you think we can expect from beijg in response to what the u.k. announced today? >> the most correct potential retribution's people can think of our diplomatic, as well as economic measures. u.k., for the past few decades, trying to enter the chinese market. the past few governments have been trying to court chinese investors into the u.k. as well. many of these things can

eventually be turnedo i bargaining chips were cards being played. all those are possible. in the past, during the government of cameron, the u.k. leadership met with the dalai lama, there was a long-term free of financial rations between the u.k. and beijing fou e a while, until something happened later on. all these past experiences could happen again. anchor: in terms of any change to legal legislation in hong kong, china is not was to move once it has made a position and that will probably be the case, >> exactly.? at this momen more analysts and scholars are pointing out,

this stand rather than introducing a law. many suggesting, we have to look at this in a bigger context of u.s.-china going head-to-head in china trying to pick a battleground and pitically thinking this is the best place we can pick a fight with the west, with the u., have a slightly better chance of winning, hence hong kong is this sacrificial lamb athis moment. anchor: very quickly, you have contacts, manyn the territory. any idea how you can sum up the mood at the moment? >> the mood is essentially on one side, people arepl cely angry, that is the anger side,t also,r, fhis level of desperation. steople who lived in hong kong, work in hong kong know is

a vibrant cite people enjoyed freedoms and it is reallyy economica vibrant and it is easy to do business and make money. so people on one side love chat used to led the pearl of the orient. to seet all of this alm evaporate overnight, to see the rule of law that they got used to, and now becoming the same as mainland china, it is something people are caught in disbelief and trying to figure out how they can move on from here. anchor: i remember covering the arbella revolution and seeing those tens of thousands of people, unlikely to see those scenes again for some time. thank you very much for being with us. the world health organization says it is investigating that u.s. buying local supplies of

remdesivir for the next three months. it is a drug shown to work against covid-19.he is a doctor from the who. >> there are many people aroundr the world whvery sick with this wisease, soe want to ensure that everybody has access to the necessary intventions. our said, we will reserve commentary until we have verified the nature of the contracts, but also we are aware of other agencies put in place for manufacturing in other countrs. let us look at the issues, at the implications of this. certainly, we are fully committed as an orgaon with our partners t equitable cess to life-saving interventions. anchor: more than 500 tousand treatm causes for american hospitals had been secured. the vice president explained the steps the u.s. is taking to treat those with the illness. >> we are in a better place because of the availability of

therapeutics or medicines to treat peopl that have contracted the virus and are experiencing seve symptoms. dr. stephen hahn is here and he will speak about the progress that we are making, whether it be the availability of remdesivir, we are stripping this wk, the use of blood plasma, steroid treatments,we ad ontinue to hear hopeful signs about the continuing progss for developing a vaccine for the american people. anchor: what do we know aboutdr th? >> remdesivir is not exactly a wonder drug when it .mes to covid- it has been proven in some trials toeduce the state and hospitals by about four days. it helps some very sick patients reduce their recovery time.' but it do't cut mortality.
