She said that you know she'll always remember this time with her fans and that she hopes to see them, you know, at some other point.

She did not mention, though, when she would resume touring.
voice-verified
He's uh agreed, he's pleaded guilty to colluding with foreign powers.
voice-verified
Essentially what that is is that he's agreed that he tried to persuade the United States and other Western nations to put pressure on China to allow more democracy in Hong Kong.
voice-verified
This charge was brought under something called the national security law that was imposed by Beijing on Hong Kong in twenty twenty.
voice-verified
essentially brought in to kind of crack down on all the democracy activism that was going on at the time and essentially to crush it and so stop it uh dead.
voice-verified
So that's the charge he he faces.
voice-verified
As you said there in the introduction, the interesting bit about this is that um he was well into a five year sentence when this charge was brought.
voice-verified
He was looking forward perhaps to being released early next year.
voice-verified
This charge means now he's
voice-verified
they could spend a long time behind bars.
voice-verified
And I think its illustrative shows that the Chinese government is in no way
voice-verified
uh ready to be lenient or merciful with uh any activists in Hong Kong.
voice-verified
Yeah, he hasn't answered that directly and neither is his lawyer, but I think it's not too wide of the mark to suggest that perhaps he wants the court to show some leniency in the sentence towards him.
voice-verified
He's only twenty nine years old.
voice-verified
This sentence carries a lifetime in prison, so he could be well into into his old age before he comes out unless the court gives him a lenient sentence.
voice-verified
And in fact his prosecutor suggested that this perhaps was the reason for him pleading guilty.
voice-verified
uh the prosecu uh the the defender uh suggested that they should give a the judge should give a sentence of no more than ten years, not to give a sentence that would crush Joshua Wong, that would leave him with no hope of the future, no hope of getting uh out of prison.
voice-verified
It suggested that he wanted to get out perhaps to look after his elderly parents.
voice-verified
So I think it's perhaps to get a lenient sentence.
