Hong Kong censors now have the power ban movies 'endangering national security'

Hong Kong censors now have the power to ban films that endanger national security, prompting concerns that freedom of expression is being further curtailed in a city once known for its vibrant arts and film scene.

Censors have the power to deem films unsuitable for exhibition to "prevent or suppress any act or activity endangering national security," it said in a statement. "This film censorship system shows how freedom of expression is disappearing from Hong Kong," said Anders Hammer, director of Do Not Split, an Oscar-nominated documentary about the 2019 protests in Hong Kong.

‘Not a joke’: Joe Biden tells troops their biggest challenge is global warming | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says next up Joe Biden will “appoint Greta Thunberg” as his national security advisor after the US President told troops their biggest challenge was global warming.\n\nIt comes after President Biden arrived in the UK for the G7 Summit as well as other bilateral meetings.\n\n“While in the UK, Biden, the commander in chief, addressed some US troops, and as you would expect, the commander in chief spoke to them about global security threats, and the main challenge for the soldiers might have been keeping a straight face,” Mr Kenny said.\n\n“China is throwing its weight around, fortifying islands, building up its armed forces, and bullying its neighbours, and Russia has invaded and annexed its neighbours, while Iran is fuelling terrorist uprisings against Israel and destabilising the Middle East.\n\n“And Joe Biden tells his troops their biggest challenge is global warming.\n\n“Next up he’ll appoint Greta Thunberg as his national security advisor.”\n Why not ? Chris Kenny still thinks Trump is a god. Give me Greta any day over Trump. Wouldn’t thought the military’s biggest challenge was keeping America safe. Chris makes up the dumbest content. Prove me wrong.
