government headquarters 3 hour standoff ensued the streets blocked in central him this was a this area i just can't imagine any in my fashion find a minister confident knowing time they came after more than $1000000.00 people marched in hong kong of the government's proposed extradition bill under the plan fugitives all potential suspects in hong kong could be sent for trial on the chinese mainland that's angered some of the former british territory who say china would target political opponents well we want to protect our children want to return. home next generation so we have to say what we need to be done it is how freedom so that's why we have to come here to protest this is how it was last tries to protest sharing those concerns of human rights groups who feel the law will be abused and will be legalised political kidnappings the chinese government has a very poor track record on human rights that includes all the external they are also

on fashion called an obvious way out west pro-democracy groups like the propose knows also threaten hong kong's free society and undermine civil liberties promised under the one country 2 systems still agreed when the former british territory was handed back to china in $997.00 the city's chief executive however has refused to back down on this bill insisting that human rights will be protected and that the proposals were firmly grounded in the rule of law that the mass to not at this rally is any indication it's clear many in hong kong and not convinced sarah clarke out as a. the risk of people dying attempting to cross the sea to europe is at its highest ever that's according to the un's refugee agency the u.n. actually our says without intervention in the mediterranean there will be a sea of blood it comes as the libyan coast guard says it's rescued more than

pushing people to take options that otherwise might not thought of including crops in boise u.s. president donald trump is pushing back against me in your media reports that is the latest agreement with mexico doesn't actually contain anything new trumpet threaten to impose tariffs on all imports from mexico unless it did more to stop migrants crossing into the u.s. the white house announced an agreement on friday but there are u.s. media reports that may aspects of the deal were agreed months ago alan fish has more from washington d.c. . well there are some new elements to this 1st of all the idea that the national guard in mexico would be deployed to the southern border to stop people coming up through the country are partly in agreement was reached in december between the u.s. and mexico what we have now is a number around 5000 national guard troops will do that job and also a time scale mexico say they are moving on and they are moving on it quickly mexico

is also going to make it easier for people to stay in mexico while the asylum claims are held in the united states know that whole thing is being challenged in the courts here in the u.s. so that might not become such a key issue donald trump has also said in a tweet on sunday but there is one big thing that wasn't unknowns when the news release about this went out on friday and that will become clear at the appropriate time no idea what that could possibly be and also he is saying that mexico has agreed to buy a great deal of agricultural produce from the united states but that has left both people here in the u.s. and in mexico scratching their heads saying there is no such agreement mexico has entered into no agreement about agricultural products what supporters of donald trump are saying is that the threat of terror undoubtedly made mexico come to the table because within hours of him saying that this was a possibility that the foreign minister of mexico was in washington discussing

a deal this also gives donald trump a convenient political out if the situation on the border does not improve that he can say this is not a problem this is mexico's and he may well raise the issue of type of sigyn because the talents for the moment are only suspended not completely canceled. well the u.s. and mexico have called the agreement a success and that is trying to reach america see the deal very differently john heilemann has more from tapachula in the state of chap us on the mexican border with question marks. over the earth the united states and mexico are both celebrating the new agreement mexico's avoided the threatened us terrorists the u.s. has the promise mexico will tighten its borders. it's been sold as a trial by both sides but there's bound to be a human cost and these people may be it central americans trying to get through mexico to the us.
