because unsanctioned protests are illegal and hasn't started any just the election is unfair it's all been decided already it's not like attend choices as they are all. its own like circus was the right things now are working their way down the centuries street the protesters in front of me they are trying to say ahead of the police. in the future crowds are being seized and it's really getting it's a good if the situation. was good and there. was this was the image the authorities wanted to project an orderly participation by the electorate in a peaceful transition of power. as a boy of the man who ran kazakstan for nearly 30 years has stepped into retirement

although he retains significant powers as chairman for the life of the country's security council his chosen successor. talk of his own cause to take over what is your specific message to those individuals who are campaigning for more democracy and rights in this country those individuals you've been detained are advised all the law enforcement agencies to be tolerant. society restraint but any serious violations of our laws of course will not be tolerated but at the same time i urge all the young people. on the same level. to exercise restraint to be tolerant to the power through the government a rare acknowledgement that because it's deserved more political freedom i know that did. stop the detentions because extern has never seen an election day quite

like this before. robin joins us live now out from. rome in the exit polls are out what are we to make of them yes indeed what are we to make of those which gave election. exit polls which gave mr. around 70 percent. now. that's interesting because previous elections in which. has been the president's. visit to the the support for him has been in the high e. 90 s. . so 70 percent seems like a more moderate reflection or more accurate reflection let's say of what the public might have thought of this replacement for mr doesn't buy if there was

a runner up to who scored 15 percent he was considered a genuine opposition candidate by a lot of outside observers looking at this election i think what we all sorts of wanted to do was certainly have a peaceful ordinary orderly. election in which the mystic took the chosen candidate of mr knesset by a long standing president and they wanted it to look democratic they wanted it to appear like there were lots of choices then that seems to be the appearance but of course that's bear in mind that. because it starts elections have never been really found free or fair by independent. observers where expecting the o.s.c. observer oversee observer mission to comment later on what they thought about this we've been hearing some allegations of ballot stuffing on social media by activists

democracy activists and of course those protests that i was reporting on yesterday my. votes certainly took the shine off all the celebrations by the government here of course will be very happy that mr talk i have on paper at least officially for them is now looking like the next president of. what is the. there have been some. rumors and i would only call them that at the moment that there might be mole of the spot we saw yesterday it's always difficult to to really predict here because of the restrictions as well on public demonstrations just whether there is a lot of appetite for that but certainly yesterday was unprecedented it's i can confidently say that having been reporting on this country for the last 10 years.

this this kind of thing does not happen here on our own on any day of the year really had certainly not on election day 500 people we know the police the interior ministry confirms detains last night i spoke to somebody from the foreign ministry and he said to me most of those people have been released but there are still others being held and we know that human rights groups like human rights watch have the government to be to exercise caution and not overdo it in terms of the arrests oh detentions have been taking place it's robin thanks very much now and still ahead on i just you know. anger against corruption drives thousands of protesters back onto the streets of haiti bust the human cost of a deal on migrants between the united states and mexico and what it means for families desperate to seek asylum.

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 now 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 are 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 tariffs 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 tired of sigyn because the talents for the moment are only suspended not completely canceled. ah but the u.s. and mexico have hailed the agreement as a success john heilemann reports from tapachula on mexico's southern border with somalia where people there tell a different story. over her the united states and mexico but by 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 u.s. and cool top in the crackdown the president trumps push pull in the couple of hours we spent at the mics can checkpoint 5 groups who are detained. many like honduran. say that the end demick violence and chronic poverty in their homelands means there's little choice but to flee if i let the fact that it's the situation here organized crime there's no work america the whole lot we can't do nothing but he and his family will now most likely be headed back home and this is just the beginning because national guard are being deployed to the border to. mexico as

rode out that kind of blanket security before and it's led to migrants taking even more dangerous and dyce related routes. what to mull until fellow is still recovering from his own taste of the people smugglers squeezed him and some 50 others into a truck standing up and drove it through mexico's mountainous backroads it plunged into a ravine killing 25 people on medicare when i woke up and heard that 6 of my friends from the community had died 3 of whom i had gone to school with i was very sad the solution many would say is to simply stay at home and the new agreement does include a plan for development in central american countries so that people don't have to. but the presidents of honduras el salvador and guatemala themselves have been virtually silent during this crisis and without their support their countrymen could be forgiven for thinking in this new deal they've been left on their own

journey home and i'll just say it proper to mexico. a california will become the 1st u.s. state to pay for health benefits for some adults living there illegally the plan agreed by democrats will apply to almost 100000 low income adults aged between 1025 the state will start taxing people who don't have health insurance to help pay for the program it's a revival of the nationwide penalty under former president barack obama's health care law peter matthews is a professor of political science at cypress college in california he says the program will only help a small sector of the community. so you could set an example for other states like new york the largest states the more affluent states to pursue this path as well but it's actually reflection of governor gavin newsom's attempt to get a single payer system ultimately in california he campaigned on it he actually said the beginning we took office he'd like to implement that in the beginning of getting part of the segment of population to be covered even the undocumented folks

to some extent i think the supreme court the justices that are the conservative ones that he appointed the trump appointed you know the gorsuch and kavanaugh these does this is have not been proven yet on the economic level economic decision such as this they might actually go along with the law in california this particular writer freedom to do this because they also believe in decentralized government so it's possible that this could go through and be upheld by the courts it's just only one segment those only about $90000.00 people $98000000.00 that still leaves millions of california uncovered both who are born here legally and working here as well as undocumented american californians who are here who are not covered with health care is very dangerous because when people who work in public sector jobs like in restaurants or other places they must be ensure that they are covered health wise so they can go take care of any potential disease or infection they could have that get passed on the rest of population so it's just a practical question also a philosophical one which goes to the point that health care is a human right that should be guaranteed for all and that's something the most

churches many of them known as charismatic churches have sprung up that brings the total of churches in the country to around $15000.00 charismatic congregations are generally known for their passionate sometimes loud expressions of their faith. there are 5 churches along this 500 meter stretch of road now one of the challenge for the authorities is how to find the right balance in developing areas like this between the number of churches coming up the noise and the rights of residents an officer from the environmental protection agency has come to monitor the sound levels of a church from the neighboring residential compound following complaints the agency's head says some have been fined up to $10000.00 and even been forced to close down. people are very you know your mission alabama just activities where we go out people who you know they chant against. stand to promote. the council that

represents charismatic churches. this is not fair to blame just churches i think it's all as a result of poor planning in our communities in our cities our town and country has to be well structured we have people who have the degrees from our universities but sad to see become plan our cities to that kind of intimacy we desire perfect to believe she's also speaking up for many others who are afraid of being demonized she plans to escalate her complaints in the hope of a positive outcome for all sides i'm aborting al-jazeera across. in s'pore rough air on the dow has made tennis history in paris by winning the french open for a record 12 time the spaniard beat dominic kim in austria of austria rather in sunday's final at roland garros it takes an adult a total of grand slam titles to 18 years now just 2 behind his great rival roger federer.

all right it's going to round up now top stories are nigeria hong kong's chief executive says the extradition bill with china will go ahead despite the largest protest seen there in 16 years hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets on sunday protestors fear the new laws will allow the government to target its political opponents and send them to mainland china for trial started as a largely peaceful demonstration ended in violence protesters say the measures are eroding hong kong law adrian brown has more from beijing. many people in hong kong are not sort of persuaded by carry lymes arguments that there are sufficient safeguards in this new bill to address their concerns carrie lam says that people who are facing potentially sentences of more than 7

years would not be extradited to to china sure so says that people who would face political or religious persecution would not be sent back to the mainland but that still hasn't been enough to reassure people and that was made abundantly clear by those protests on sunday sudan's military joined as defended its crackdown on protests saying it's meant to ensure the safety of the country at least 4 more people were killed on sunday as demonstrated aren't so the call from protest leaders for a mass civil disobedience movement exit polls suggest kasim jomar talk a or has won kazakstan spreads eventually election but opponents say the election was not free or fair at least 500 people were detained in protests. at least 2 people have been killed and 5 others injured in demonstrations in haiti's capital port au prince a set of roadblocks and torched buildings and cars they want president governor to

resign after accusing him of stealing money and money from an oil aid program those are the headlines. there is a dialogue reading about it for months on the international media and on t.v. . with skepticism because there's a lot of that on my everyone has a voice we are being taken advantage of just because we are small community. to seek help join the global conversation announces iraq all they want to do is start the debate the same kind of debate that we have here in the street. since you don't count at all that they all cranked out by here a whole lot of office in the public want to. look at that. very close to the main square where the. action is decided it's time.

alone richard burton you're at the listening post here are some of the stories we're covering this week political unrest in sudan the story enters a new phase a crackdown on demonstrators a clampdown on media coverage australian police raid 2 news outlets putting media they're on high alert what is the attraction the draws british audiences to the genre of television programming big call poverty porn and is it a parody or a genuine tribute to donald trump. the israeli video that leaves viewers confused. nearly 2 months after a mass at a government demonstrations led to the overthrow of sudan's longtime president omar al bashir a mostly peaceful political transition has turned violent this past monday soldiers taking orders from the military regime that now rules sudan opened fire on protesters killing more than 100 people the exact body count remains unknown and that is by design the who into imposed

a communications blackout blocking access to social media disrupting phone traffic severely restricting the news and information flow over the past few weeks many foreign journalists including those from al-jazeera have had their licenses revoked their offices raided meaning that stories of alleged mass murder and rape at the hands of the security services do not make it beyond sudan's borders when the generals took power they promised new media freedoms space for independent reporting however their tolerance for those telling the stories of this revolution has run out and they're using tactics straight out of omar al bashir is playbook our starting point this week is cartoon. it's about control the message the playbook is a playbook that many have these before and it's essentially how do we lock down how do we strike fear in the hearts of people in this culminates with the shutdown and

social media. the clinton years that this is very important that they call the picture would be extremely extremely harmful to the regime. much of what we know is from the civilian journalist and cell phone videos and word of mouth that journalists have not had the access that we need to. know the people dying in the hundreds missing and injured but they still show music on t.v. . business as usual and this is exactly what used to happen during this year. sudanese activists hoped all of that was behind them almost 3 decades of home are al bashir as president finally came to an end in mid april with his overthrow arrest and imprison a temporary military government in place calling itself transitional saying it was

committed to handing over power to the people but like algeria to the northwest where unrest brought down another longtime leader toppling a president has proven easier than negotiating with men in uniforms. following the stepping down of. april and then the transitionary military council sort of saying we're going to negotiate we're going to have this sort of transition period there was hope. i think a lot of people around the world are looking at sudan as an example of maybe we've learned from the arab spring maybe this won't be egypt or libya or syria maybe this will be a little bit different it became clear 2 or 3 weeks ago that the transitional military council was not negotiating in good faith tensions began to rise the 2 month old city and had become the symbol of resistance and the uprising and it became very clear last week that the military council was not going to

permit the semi longer. basically what happened is that they attacked protesters they started shooting anybody that puts up a phone trying to film and so a lot of people were shut down because their phones were stolen and after that of course the slowing down of the internet and most of the networks and so that and eventually shutting it down. by jamming internet networks the military government choked information flows inside the country and to the outside world sudanese rely . our messaging services like whatsapp and social media platforms like facebook and youtube to organize politically and to get images and information out the clampdown created a vacuum missing people could not be found and no one knew just how many people had been killed by the r.s.s. the paramilitary rapid support forces all of this took place under a transitional military council that when it took power less than 2 months ago made

all the right noises and. the appointment of general abdel fattah as the head of the t.m.c. was initially well received. and had previously met with protesters and appeared to be open to their view of. the military council released hundreds of political prisoners and the curfew in khartoum and said it would work with the opposition alliance for change and freedom the t.m.c. also made the kind of promises on media freedom that make headlines the military council sent a message to newspaper editors basically lifting censorship which after 3 decades it was impressive to see the type of headlines in the type of coverage some outlets were not as quick to jump on that actually done t.v. . but some of the outlets like 24 have today interesting coverage she saw opposition leaders on t.v.

think that was a fresh to see that type of press freedom. being allowed in the country but once the transitional military council decided i believe that they were going to crush the uprising. that led to an increase ratcheting up pressure on journalists expulsion of journalists and restrictions of all sorts as a transitional military council closer to the crackdown closer and closer to tire shop. both international and domestic news coverage. the coverage of the story in the international media has been restricted foreign reporters who would only recently been allowed back into the country after being banned in the dying days of the al bashir regime had their movements curtailed by the new military authorities one of the most influential foreign news networks al-jazeera is currently banned

from reporting from sudan its offices were raided and it had its license to broadcast revoked on may 30th the timing of the ban on al-jazeera raised eyebrows it happened just after t.m.c. leaders met with the rulers of saudi arabia the u.a.e. and egypt the saudi owned which competes against the qatari owned al-jazeera across the arabic speaking world has been far less critical of the t.m.c. over the stalled transition process and continues to report from khartoum and saudi arabia and the u.a.e. as support for the sudanese who is not limited to the airwaves 10 days after al bashir was deposed the saudi and amorality governments sent sudan $3000000000.00 worth of aid including half a 1000000000 in cash reserves which the reuters news agency described as throwing a lifeline to the country's new military leaders that decision to shut down. license was not too surprising after the heads of the

military council and committee paid a visit to saudi arabia the united arab emirates and egypt that's when license was withdrawn and there's widespread believe that these governments are interfering to prevent the establishment of a full democracy in the country what's important to remember about so that is its political importance but also previously didn't quite pick sides. and so on on side as well as the saudis by supporting this saudi interest in yemen but the transition of that area council didn't quite feel the same way and so by actively going to saudi arabia and the emirates and saying you know what we're on your side here effectively. it then became. a poor an in that in that day between and saudi arabia. this is dan story of 2009 team has

unfortunate echoes of 2011 and the arab spring the sense of optimism and the prospects of a political transformation that proved fleeting the ensuing clampdown that has been brutal the alliance for freedom and change that has so far failed to live up to its name and the space that seemed to be opening up for the news media gone before they knew it before they really had a chance to use. it was always a dark spot for media we never had independent media for the last 30 years and even before that i think you know the military council is basically a more powerful extension of the old regime a biased extension of the old they need to clamp down on news because they only want their version of the news and so what you've got at the moment is a country a city that has been divided up that is unable to communicate to each other let alone to people outside a diaspora that is desperate to know what's going on in the country on the ground

and in international media that isn't quite sure what's going on and so it is said . that they can kind of do what they want. and that's tough. looking at other media stories that are on our radar with one of our producers i mean actually ravi there are many countries where police routinely raid news organizations but australia is not one of them and there have been 2 such raids over this past week why that's exactly what many australian journalists are wondering why the 1st raid was at the home of an eco terrorist she is the political editor of the sunday telegraph now back in 2018 she published a story about a top secret proposal to expand surveillance of australian citizens. then came another bigger raid this one at the offices of the australian broadcasting corporation b.b.c. police were there for 9 hours and the executive editor of a.b.c.

news was life tweeting it through out material was seized relating to a 2017 investigation by a.b.c. into the killing of unarmed civilians in afghanistan by australian special forces who are stationed there now apart from these 2 raids there was a call from the home affairs ministry to the radio reporter ben forde him he was asked where he got the information or how he got the information about the turning away of 6 boatloads of asylum seekers by a stray and authorities at sea so in all 3 of these cases you have reporting based on classified government documents and this appears to be the government trying to flush out the source doesn't not exactly and if you think about why all of this is happening now for example that a.b.c. report went out 2 years ago it goes back to politics and last month's elections now there's a new majority conservative government in power and they have extensive national security laws at their disposal to clamp down on these troublesome leaks of classified information now across australia media houses unions watchdogs they've

all sounded the alarm and they are pressing the government for answers but make no mistake what happened last week has put them on notice ok turning to pakistan where the army has described a recent report by the b.b.c. as a pack of lies what did that story focus on this report by the b.b.c. was about the pakistani army is activities and one of the most sensitive regions of pakistan it's the mountainous. in the northwest now this area has been under the pakistani army is control since 2002 when pakistan joined the american led war on terror now according to the b.b.c.'s investigations tens of thousands of people mostly civilians have been tortured and killed by the army soon after the report was published the pakistani army spokesperson posted this pack of lies. tweet but it was followed up by a statement from the army in which it said that the b.b.c. sent a judgment to a questionnaire via e-mail to get their comments and then ignored the army's offer

to get a full rundown of their side of the study now the b.b.c. has said that it is confident about its reporting and that it would like to interview the pakistani army on the range of subjects ok thanks me. onto a story about a unique vision of media now born and produced in the u.k. take what the british call a benefit scroungers someone who is allegedly milking the state's welfare system for all it's worth throwing a dash of social stereotyping a little demonize ation at an element of reality t.v. celebrity culture and presto you have a television show some might find that to be an odd formula but british newspapers tabloids for the most part have long been hooked on stories about people claiming money from the state among the problems associated with poverty porn it might entertain viewers and readers but it does not inform them and caricaturing welfare recipients for the benefit of mass audiences has potential implications for the welfare system and the people who actually depend on the listening post flow

phillips now on the british media's obsession with benefits the myths and the money making industry it has created. i think it's. the single mom with lots of kids that are house for children who want to find us. the alcoholic drinking away his dome and. the immigrant sponging off the state. to cheat just when. you break your salary for the channel 4 was benefits street channel 5 benefits. headlines in the sun on the daily express when it comes to stories about. welfare recipients the british media rely on a cast of cliche characters they recycled over and over those

narratives and those kind of images to create and sustain divisions between society and undeserving populations between kind of work. between welfare dependence and hard work and the whole setup of these programs is around that being like them and us all telling everybody in this studio and you're telling everybody who's watching right now that we're mugs that we're idiots and we're fulls for going out to work because why don't we all just give up work in the benefits may present the idea of a benefits kocher and a benefits lifestyle as if people on benefits are choosing to be there and that language that they rocketry langridge feeds into casual content for the poor of course kelly's going to be comfortable in the benefits system critical this money coming in what we say is programs like make a margaret we all pay your benefits which creates intentionally and very clearly a division between the idea of tax payers and benefit recipients as enemies.

britons have been fed stories about the flaws in their social benefits system for years the tabloids were the 1st to discover the audiences for such stories and by 2013 t.v. producers were tapping into that same market the b.b.c.'s we all pay your benefits came 1st similar offerings followed on other channels along with millions of views the programmes attracted plenty of criticism for the exploitation of people's hardship what has come to be known as poverty pool the term poverty is a pretty accurate reflection on this idea of. what's important for entertainment and reading about poor people in newspapers where it's for entertainment as opposed to an actual insight into these people's lives and be quite offended if people. benefits britain was policy toward because benefits britain told the stories of people who live their lives with limited resources. very strong there's no

reason why you shouldn't tell that story you're putting programs out about people whose lives and on benefits and who live in poverty and those programs write well then programme makers just continue to make those programs. and that's exactly it these programs rate well but they actually portray reality take the benefits cheat trade in the 201516 tax year fraudulent benefits claims cost the british state $1900000000.00 pounds the cost of tax evasion that year 5200000000 pounds add into the mix tax avoidance at $1700000000.00 and you are 2 almost 4 times the cost to benefit from and that doesn't begin to include wealthy britons hiding their assets off shore or tax loss to the shadow economy but the media especially the tabloid press disproportionately choose to direct our attention and outrage to the

full leaving high income fraudsters who are less telegenic and harder to find in the shadow i would love to see you know the flip side of the television show about . tax avoiders that people are over this in the 1st. attack and so for the hypocrisy surrounded what they choose to put on t.v. screens it will always target the most vulnerable as a programme maker you always choose the best stories the characters who will make the best television a monk case we filmed with remaining in rome is going to come to the u.k. to try and benefit of the unfortunately then took british benefits back to mumbai india and built themselves a home i'm going to take benefit for being good. like this one quickly with much money we shouldn't shy. my wife from stories to all true stories just because they are sensational or the contributors of outrageous in some way thank you so

much so long as the context is the should be fine and really key areas of misrepresentation are around the day to day life of people in the sea about what benefits and how far that's kind of cart tries by maybe i don't listen in october take a kind of active choosing to be on benefits the poll getting me are really trying very hard to get into paid work when and where that's like a realistic option. the british welfare state the provision of education childcare health and homes came about after the 2nd world war designed to ensure a good standard of living from the cradle to the grave while popular at the outset by the late 1970 s. much of the rhetoric from politicians and the press was anti well social security was depicted as a burden on the state not a citizens right the explosion of reality t.v. programmes about benefits has only made this image worse. some benefits claimants

have been transformed by these programs into celebrities media stars and the many industry has since grown around them take baritones a p.r. agent who saw an opportunity in the new genre and took it. he has a book of clients who are on benefits and he says when journalists and t.v. producers need help with some kind of benefit story they call him his clients can be offered anywhere between 150 pounds 225000 pounds for a story and barry takes a cut he also told us that misrepresentation is a big part of the game any story that looks like a benefit recipient is spending big money that's the key so just one of our clients marie who can see a good example marie broken and being in the press for a war she wanted a horse or some people are going to go nuclear but you have a horse of a lot of people watching marie i know and i will be saying you've got 8 children

why on earth would you want to have a horse that's going to cost you so much money while everybody comes down to lose the horse must cost thousands of homes so actually the facts that were printed we're nothing like the truth but i was happy to run with that because that's what we do i don't decide if it's fact or fiction that's for the publisher does and there's an exclusive some might call it fate mary and this media myth making has a potentially more detrimental impact on politics. since the financial crisis more than a decade ago cuts to welfare have been a constant feature of government policy to sell those policies politicians often rely on the same kind of stereotypes that t.v. producers and newspaper publishers do what we've got is these programs that are setting themselves up as journalism giving tory politicians more ammunition in order to support through brutal legislation if you don't have sanctions essentially you don't. water and you don't change behavior tabloid

headlines have led to debates in the house of commons with for example george osborne talking about how taxpayers a subsidizing these lifestyles and this was after the daily mail headlined by products of welfare u.k. it's setting an agenda that the problem is people who exist in poverty not that there are not an economic crisis or not austerity but because of people like mary that we do have to bring benefits. in a country where social security cards are having a real impact on people in the media industry has grown creating its own set of beneficiaries it is the publishers produces p.r. agent some politicians to reap the benefits and you could call it irresponsible. to use a term the media usually reserved for those on benefits seamus. and finally president trump's state visit to the u.k.

was all over the news this past week mean makers balloon designers and protesters all had a field day but it's not like trump doesn't have fans overseas take israel and this next video which was posted on you tube recently the song's title is supertramp it lauds jerusalem's prince who fights like a lion for israel recognizing jerusalem as israel's capital as well as prime minister netanyahu his claim to the golan heights has one trump plenty of friends on the far right but there was some confusion over this video the comments section indicates that a lot of people thought it was a parody and that's the problem with trump related material in the news or online you never really know we'll see you next time you're at the listening.

thank. you.

as i'm sick of this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up staying away deserted streets in sudan's capital as people back a call for a general strike in defiance of a military crackdown. i go to outrage at an election in kazakstan that many say wasn't free or fair. and it's a record for rafa the 12th french open tennis title for the king of play. a lot of hong kong's chief executive says an extradition bill with china will go ahead despite the largest protest seen there in 16 years kerry lam said the more would allow hong kong to uphold justice and fulfill its international obligations but protesters say it lets the government target political opponents and send them

to mainland china for trial sarah clarke has more on the protests it started as a peaceful city and around the city's parliament building i soon descended into chaos holding middle barricades protesters brand the police frontline they pushed back with veterans pepper spray and water guns i wonder camped out on the streets to the government headquarters 3 hour standoff ensued streets blocked in central hong kong this was a this area i just think in my class was behind the minister house when. they came after more than 1000000 people. marched in hong kong of the government's proposed extradition bill and to the planned fugitives all potential suspects in hong kong could be sent for trial on the chinese mainland that's angered some in the former british territory who say china would target political opponents while 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 for past this is how it was last tries to protest sharing those concerns a human rights groups who feel alone will be abused and will legalize political kidnappings the chinese government has a very poor track record of human rights that includes fall's election will they are forced on fashion we call chair an obvious way out west pro-democracy groups like the propose neuros also threaten hong kong's free society and undermine civil liberties promised under the one country 2 systems deal 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 with the mass turnout at this rally is any indication it's clear many in hong kong i'm not

convinced. we've got 2 correspondents covering this story for us we'll get reaction from adrian brown in beijing in a moment but 1st let's go to sarah clarke in hong kong so sara clearly a great deal of anger in hong kong over this extradition law and the chief executive addressed that at the news conference which you mentioned at the top there what else did he have to say. what kerry lam did respond to these protests yesterday which as you mentioned it attracted more than 1000000 people to the streets a huge and preset a number of people at this rally and she said that the government will go ahead with this bill despite those protests however she said that the human rights guards they will be protected and they will have a legally binding effect on the government she said no fugitive will be extradited unless they human rights are protected and she said hong kong does respect the rule of law she said the rights and freedoms have not been eroded under this bill for

the protests and she said that the people she thanked the people going to st she said she'd like to hear their concerns but she had this was supposed to this decide about the protest and the extradition bill. we were told we received feedback that these additional measures are effective in addressing the concerns of the stakeholders and we will continue to do so so there is no question of us moring views expressed in society but hong kong has to move on there are severe severe deficiencies and gaps in our existing system to deal with cross border crimes and transnational crimes but there is sort of a very difficult area to understand why hong kong can not have any legal assistance on criminal matters with our closest neighbors that is the mainland of china taiwan and the car. well that this bill will have

a 2nd radio when's. it has been fire truck which means it's bypass some of the committee hearings which should scrutinize this legislation but carolan wants our vote before the end of the month and the parliament here it will adjourn on june 27th that some practices have camped out at the legislative council building and they're expected on his harley lot more protests on wednesday when there is a 2nd raid. sara thank you let's go to our beijing now and adrian brown what has the mainland china government had to say about all this well officially china's government regards what is happening in hong kong right now as an internal matter but state media has been waiting in the china daily which often reflects government thinking says that it believes that foreign forces are responsible for the chaos in hong kong without elaborating on who those foreign forces might be the paper also says that the people of hong kong are being

hoodwinked now china would like this extradition bill passed it points out that hong kong has extradition arrangements with many other countries including the united states and this amendment to the extradition laws is long overdue there is goodwill towards home kong here in china but that goodwill is starting to fast evaporate and china's leaders will be alarmed if we see more protest on the scale that we saw 4 years ago during the the occupy protests but so far no official comment from china's government it's leaving it to its attack dogs in state media to express its views right now all right adrian thanks for the aging brown in beijing for us. assett dance military journey to has defended its crackdown on protesters saying it is their job to ensure the safety of the country at least 4

people were killed on sunday and to and neighboring. has more on a day of civil disobedience. sunday marks the beginning of the we can sit down but rather than work commutes and traffic jams the streets of khartoum are empty these videos appear to show that the public has heated the calls by pro-democracy groups for civil disobedience and the general strike. and. the people cannot be governed by force and i'm not saying this neither as a member of the opposition nor someone who supports the government but the people do not want this government and as you can see the streets are empty shops are closed i personally want to civilian government. the sudanese people also had a big role to play in order for the civil disobedience to be executed in the correct way and on its 1st day i think that it has been 300 percent successful. the movement for freedom and change together with the sudanese professionals union had announced sunday's action in response to the military gentle seizing of power

and the continued crackdown on protesters. it's still not known how many people were killed by the security forces during last week's massacre when the main pro-democracy sit in was forcibly dispersed but a sudanese doctors group puts the toll in the past week at 117. and we will protect the wealthier of the citizens especially when the citizens refuse to acknowledge the call to civil disobedience and with determined to go to work this despite the difficulties and the barricades we have that the military council is not an enemy of the forces of change will freedom or any other political entity in the country and we affirm our determination to achieve the aims of the revolution and in particular the desired. democratic change the military forces and the rapid support forces are ensuring the security of the people and the country.

despite an attempt by the if european prime minister to mediate between the gentle and pro-democracy groups being received well by both sides security forces arrested several of the group's leaders within hours of the if european pm departing khartoum the man believed to be calling the shots in the military council is its vice presidents mohammed hummed on committee the former warlord and his notorious gender weed forces have been accused of committing war crimes during the darfur conflict that doesn't bode well for sudan's pro-democracy protesters added to that the military's leadership has held several meetings with saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon a mirage de facto leader mohammed bin zayed and egypt's cruelly their turn presidents are different the all of whom have been accused by human rights groups of cracking down on free speech. the main groups behind sudan's revolution have insisted they will remain peaceful and not give up their demands for freedom despite their differences violence general strikes like sunday's are an example of peaceful resistance but in a country with a history of conflict in

a region where revolutions have turned into civil wars there is genuine concern for sudan's future. or just era as as a shammy is a sudanese human rights activist she says the meiji has no regard for human life and the international community needs to act. they want to kill everybody they have not sure one act that can make us trust them or they did not issue any act to free morse or any actor for ignition of the crimes we cannot trust them what do you what do we need more to recognize the viz our criminals host taking that people of sudan hostage and they're committing more crimes they say that they want the people to go back to normal life we can't there are tanks and catchers and cars and guns every single every street you look around even when people don't go out of their houses they break in a lot of them and i'm talking only about how to do that has

a relatively a crack of information leaking but we're know what's happening in other cities and this is not new it happened in darfur and everybody was watching we documented so many crimes everything that happened in darfur is happening now is sudan countrywide if you fail to stop there for you have a chance now to make this right and correct your mistake i have no idea what can the international community do but since this is their mass they need to clean it 1st starting by cutting any aid any aid giunta t.m.c. any aid they're doing they need to cut it to t.m.c. money anything do not recognize them they fail to do that time and time again look where the got us the need to recognize that he can see ginger we are not trustworthy in any political solution or any peaceful solution any delay or recognizing this fact.
