but the high and solemn motive of defending and protecting the rights we inherited which it is our duty to transmit unshorn to our children. and what the rights mean here are they were the right to us right and i was taught in school that we were not defaming slavery we were just a fan name hours from the northern aggression the rest why. next we visit the statue of our common ancestor it's very painful to remember the legacy evidence right where the great grandmother was 2nd cousin or property. so is painful it's painful just now cham is not perfect right now a queen i would i would take them day on the defense of slavery was not. something to be honored. gary flowers is a local radio host and custodian of black history in richmond he wants to show me

a statue that he fought to get a wrecked in in 2017 so this is mrs maggie cleaned out walker. born to an insulated mother maggie walker was the 1st black woman to charter a bank in the united states the st luke penny savings bank. statues say to the community and say to the world this is someone whose fault to put on a on a literal pedestal that is a woman to be honored and that is a woman to be memorialized so that's what is so disheartening and despicable about the confederate statue because they fought for slavery. sedition secession and racial segregation and so those are not honorable virtues for which to fight nor are they american there is no other country on the planet that honors and

statuary the losers of a civil war itself and my ancestors who were burned beat and brutalized raped by a confederate confederate thinkers that is a constant symbol to me the confederate statues that we have now honoring a dishonorable man and a dishonorable cause and a dishonorable confederacy. statues mean so. there are others in richmond who are adamant the statue should remain the organization sons of confederate veterans has spent tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees to prevent the removal of statues in charlottesville and elsewhere. oh mr morehead mr gannon and you're more head handed to me yes or welcome to return and hollywood cemetery a man of told you i'm a relative of robert e. lee absolutely with the beard with the reddish beard you look more like jim stewart

but that's actually let's take a look at a few things and write. these are the dead from gettysburg. we visit the confederate section of the cemetery with the graves of around 2000 soldiers who died in gettysburg a battle lost by robert e. lee in 1963 it was arguably the turning point in the war. heavy casualties. around 50000 soldiers from both sides died in that battle there are a lot of people that feel that those statues need to come down when you look at these monuments just on a pure abstract view they're beautiful works of art. beautiful works of art and then you've got the military brilliance of robert e. lee which is still studied by military gear is today the passion for this issue we is the sins of confederate ancestors they're our family

we review the fact that we feel in our opinion they fought for a noble cause to overthrow it overbearing federal government would you want anybody to talk badly about your family just the notion of family you know brings up a lot of emotions in me but at the same time if there's a member of one's family that is doing something that you don't agree with you have a responsibility for them sure and we're responsible for the legacy of our ancestors as far as telling the truth as we see it. robert e. lee didn't say i'm going to fight for slavery no what he said is i cannot term us a word against virginia so that tells you that the war was not about slavery there are some things we're not going to agree on your i appreciate your time and giving

us your point of view absolutely. andrew's view that the civil war wasn't primarily fought to preserve slavery has been debunked by the vast majority of scholars. i'm curious to find out why so many millions of virginians still believe that all of this to an end it's pleasure to. have a christy coleman is an expert on the american civil war and heads the museum in richmond specially devoted to the subject so kristie here we are 150 years after the civil war it seems like a lot of the history and perspectives are still unsettled why is it still such a hot button to day. i think. part of the reason is that we spent 250 years lying to each other about what this war was about. we spent 150 years lying and trying to reinforce the law and the truth is and i did daughters of

the confederacy and their historian of the organizational woman by the name of mildred rutherford makes it her business to frame the narrative that must be in every school or textbook and if it's not there she tells them you must reject it from your home and you must reject it from your school. and that's exactly what they do so we wonder why america has such a to urgent view about this so it was crafted that way the way i see it is that robert e. lee fought for slavery and that's what the civil war was about but. along the way in our i've heard an alternate opinion the reality is men women and children were bought and sold from their families by only ok at arlington. and in many other properties that he comes from a family that for generations has bought and sold human beings this way. but i'm

convinced that the weight of his choices. the death tolls and the casualties being so high i think weighed on his soul and i think that that is why he was so in his last years was so adamant. to tell others don't put up statues don't relive this let's just let's just be you have the intensity that i see in his images with in your eyes a real ick ick i think that might be a family trait it's probably just beard maybe it's very good. to see what people think of it but he's got. my own view is that the statue should be removed because it glorifies

a shameful cause the fight to preserve slavery. over 700000 soldiers died in the american civil war the equivalent of 7000000 today. i guess it gives me some small comfort to know that my ancestor also didn't want any monuments to this dark period in our history. it's time for me to face up to the sins of my ancestors. this church in peter's ville maryland was built by black people my ancestors and slaves. my grandmother used to bring me here as a child. i've come to see 2 of her friends i've known them since i was young lord have mercy or he may almighty god have mercy on us to get us out but we're going to everlasting life. clarice in a stellar both descendants of the people my family enslaved i want to know how they feel about that it's not something my family ever discussed. but.

i feel uncomfortable about bringing up the subject of enslavement i don't want to upset them. clearly some i'm wondering if you could tell me about the picture on this book here this is my mom. madeline. and i'm claire. and she was a nurse of this little girl and mom's mother used to work for the lees so your mom's mother was born in slave and yes. oh tell her how see he was a slave my great grandfather of the lead property i feel kind of strange about that someone earned how how you feel about that i just live in the present time and i know that i can go anywhere i want to go and do anything i want to do

and i don't have to back down to nobody. see that's that's me in this present time and that's where i am what i wanted to do was go on you know a journey that where i figure out what i can do to make sure that you know we don't start slipping backwards you should just try to make sure that you treat people right don't. don't harbor thinking about what your great great grandfather did so i don't have no hard feelings with you but president you want to do something. make sure you do something i don't know what you're going to do. it if you

win the lottery you can give me a couple of belt ok i could do that. sort of admit you have. to help you in in your endeavor if you really had it i hope i have because i think you got a wonderful family. i feel humbled that a sterling priest don't hold any grudge against my ancestors for what there is in dirt but i want to honor their call to action. i need to know how much closer we are to racial equality than in my great grandfather's day. baltimore the largest city in maryland is just one hour away. it has a population of 3000000 with a high proportion of black. 2015 there were

street protests in baltimore. triggered by the death of a 25 year old black man. freddie gray spine was severed while in police custody no officer was ever convicted. i meet up with kwame rose a young political activists who hit the headlines during the protest. kwame was filmed in a well known t.v. host for failing to report the underlying race related issues fueling the honor asked i want you and oxys to get off because you're not here warning about the border with syria like right. think things are are better they can. even better we have a white supremacist in office now may be just as bad as robert e. lee was donald trump promotes and preys on the races ideologies that exist inside of american society you know we black people built this country from on our hands our blood sweat tears and we haven't got one ounce of compensation reparation or

even acknowledgement of the contribution we did what is it that i should know about baltimore what people should know about baltimore is that we are majority black population. 63 percent black most of our elected officials are black but yet the disparity between income between white families and black families is still one of the highest in america this is fells point it's a very white neighborhood. kwame wants to show me that even after racial segregation officially ended baltimore is still divided into rich white and poor black areas. ate here. you know drink here. actually that restaurant right there on opening day of the baseball season. i was actually called a nigger there. i come here knowing that me being here is. kind of a disruption to like the everyday whiteness i love doing and i love making people

uncomfortable with my presence. you see the way the police patrol certain blocks of this neighborhood as a way to protect and you go up a couple blocks up the street the police are there to enforce yeah you can you tell the difference you can tell the difference because the police here this is a space where drunken why people are allowed to have a good tom be drunk and it's written off up the street standing on a corner the police are there you know come out and disperse a crowd. it's calm right and there's nothing wrong with that the fact that this city is 63 percent black and the amount of people represented in certain communities like this aren't right here. i'll take you to a part of baltimore. pretty great grew up. being once across the slightest sense that you'll be able to tell the difference from where we just came from. you notice all the vacant businesses vacant homes. there are over 30000 vacant homes in

baltimore the majority concentrated in black neighborhoods. the inequality in wealthier stock 3 times more black people than white live below the poverty line and blacks are 4 times more likely to be unemployed. this is america. richest nation in the world right. this is going more homes this is where freddie great lived. so this is a neighborhood. flooded with poverty and adequate public housing lack of opportunity and jobs for him for. much of you're born in this community you're stuck here. most kids that grow up in poverty in baltimore city don't have the chance to leave within 5 blocks of there. where they were born to really. what's the situation with the police and you can be someone like philander castille who had a weapon that was legally purchased and still killed even though he followed all the

rules you can be afraid a great who ran away as so many examples of black people who did nothing wrong but just were killed because they like ice cube said their skin was their center in the united states black people are 3 times more likely than whites to be killed by the police. how do we make sure these people in gilmore homes have the same access to quality of life that the people fells point have. it seems to me like before we can fix anything we have to acknowledge the truth of the situation more than acknowledgement it has to be some type of compensation is of which surely the greatest nation on earth when the people who made the greatest contribution should have access to a quality of life for those who are oppressed and slave this. right. i've never really taken the idea of reparations seriously before but meeting with kwame has made me reconsider. i need to learn more about the inequalities that black people continue to experience i'm ready to face more uncomfortable truths.

capturing a moment in time. snapshots of other lives. other stories. provided attempts into someone else's well to. inspiring documentaries from impassioned filmmakers i'm at the front lines i feel like i know it i have the data to prove that. witness on al-jazeera. cricket's biggest photo it has come to england so miles 6 weeks 10 take 11 venues like i can australia the friend of a trifle will in good fun and win a world cup tie with al-jazeera for all the lightest of the 29 say cricket while call. a natural resource that's gone untapped for more than 2 decades have

accusing him of stealing money from an oil aid program those are the headlines now back to educate our correspondent. in baltimore maryland black people are 3 times more likely than white to be living in poverty. i want to know what that means for the people living. rick fontayne works for the city he grew up in a public housing project and has been helping disadvantaged youths in baltimore for over 10 years. among. housing projects is primarily black ok out of you know thousands of people maybe like 10 white people that live in the projects. is no resources you have a city you have a saw story it. someone you know they call it you know.

i saw. this jane it was a time for one of us to reach toughest soldiers. somebody's kid squeegee and they earn money that way but a lot of kids on they sell bottled waters and bottled drinks for a dollar i mean on the bottom yes thank you thank you he he with the legal hassles all right and you know i'm a legal mess and sometimes i just pull kids off corners i mentor them i help them get. rick takes me to the parking lot where de'monte howard a youth he mentored was shot dead just 2 months before. a lot of the drugs and activity happens right here and it's this parking lot and this is where unfortunately a lot of the homicides are robberies to please you c.r.p. diesel baby that was the amount of his nickname his mother was struggling as a single mom 3 children by ourself and he did the fastest thing to help her and that was get involved in drugs or here he was just good enough to help his mom and

some guys from another neighborhood came here to rob them and ended up killing a really good kid old man always is trying to do better we got. i'm in wilberforce college and the day we were supposed to present him with his certificate to go to college he was he was murdered right here really started here he says as the president. was a boss we've been to and i miss my homeboy good to be just the sublime oh. what would you like for this community all these kids take them up the trips and sprays more stuff that's all you know right here so. it was all of god's loving environment i mean like i think a good deed a feature of all those. you know a lot of. these kids feel like they're forced to do that to survive they're not doing it to be driving

a mercedes in bentleys and things like that they're doing it because if i don't do this. people in these neighborhoods are not asking for anything but opportunity the same playing field that the rest of america gets i don't. this is mine. which i need to see how you don so this is this is james to lose that and. you know i always see how you know you know the little thing that we don't know how you know they've everybody feel so safe passage is their babies especially to the streets and then now here i am i one of them. i'm so sorry for your loss thank you so much thank you thank you after the shooting. there were 343 homicides in baltimore in 2017 more than 90 percent of these people were black . chan wallace is

a baltimore photographer who uses her craft to combat racial stereotyping so i use photography as a form of activism my black lives matter and this what we are this is what we are outside of the gaze of whiteness. this guy right here i see black men all the time but i see how the world continues to perpetuate that these moments moments like this don't happen sometimes i photograph a black man and by the time i have the photograph printed and ready to give it to them they block now. i went back to go give him a copy but he don't. we endorse so much pain and have these moments where we didn't have anybody to tell you no but a lot of people tell me about those moments when i take their photograph and talk about our trauma talk about the injustice. what can i do what can white people do to kind of shift the way that they think and i think that for white people it starts with just simply care about black people and envisioning more

equal society allies i don't think that an ally job is to go in and dig and tell people what to do and give directions this is listen and take notes. she has arranged a photo shoot in the area of baltimore where she grew up. she photographs her brother does many cousin quoting in front of. 2 generations punish them we still live on the street. does many quoting have served time in prison one in 3 black men in the us it's a felony conviction. over 76 year prison growing up in this community. i was forced to come out of this trying to. provide a way from. 0 sam a little brother where we were forced into this we don't have. the right to tell

you. the forces on the street. nobody every day for a 5th of our kids is there a pedophile with i'm not even a pretty. which is the arc of bring my son. is community my family my whole family stuck in this community when you look back across the generations the advantages that white people have put in position for themselves and all black people and then the disadvantage as i might be was mommy just because you're white you should never bet up through to me i don't think so but that's just like him and then think about his fall from his father it always was this event right so for a black person pieces us was really. true i give something back about it but i try not to think about it we just want to push for some are the put the spotlight on us and give us a little bit of hope and then but i was determined what we will do with the help we

don't weigh it out that soon i'm over so scar we've a ski to speak out because a surprise that we portrayed him is as if he who would but we're not we so scarred that we don't even want to speak out because we're afraid of the next person to look at. you guys are going to take this with me you know trying trying to spread the message. i mean i came here to listen and to learn you know and it seems like such a small thing. just to hear these stories. is it's not small because quality he got emotional and even my brother got emotional because they have people listening to him you know people really find it down matter we don't really talk about it because it happens so my just not news is not new. quality i know he didn't want to say that stuff over a long time we got kids the guy family you know and they all live in poverty it is

the as still living in poverty these this is not the dream for us. i later discover that the continuing existence of rich white neighborhoods and poor black neighborhoods in baltimore is not accidental but a legacy of decades of deliberate racial discrimination. in the mid 1930 s. the us government was encouraging people to buy their own homes by offering federal loans however most black people were systematically refused mortgages. in addition government and financial institutions true up maps disqualifying some areas for subsidies redlined zones usually defined as neighborhoods where black people live. this deliberate denial of equal opportunities for black people to buy real estate is a major reason for the wealth gap between blacks and whites that exist today. my

efforts to educate myself in america's hidden history lead me to 2 academics who have spent years researching the racial wealth gap in america and the reasons for it hello i'm james. person what does that inequality look like in the aftermath of the civil war blacks may have less than one percent of the american wealth. what's particularly striking and disturbing about that figure is that if we look at the comparable measure to the it's about 2 percent so we have a wealth position for black americans today that in a relative is not very different from what it was at the end of slavery is there an unpaid debt that is still to to black people in america yes the estimates can run as high as 17 trillion dollars there was an opportunity to reverse the consequences of slavery instead formerly enslaved folks never received the 40 acres

and a mule that they were promised if that type of land reform it actually taken place it would have completely altered the trajectory of wealth inequality by race in the united states we got the destruction of black communities that had developed some measure of prosperity through white massacres that took place from the period of about 880 up through about 1940. the midwestern community of greenwood in tulsa oklahoma was the most affluent black community in america with over 300 black owned businesses known as black wall street. in main 1921 the whole 35 block neighborhood was obliterated by a white mob triggered by a false rumor that a black man had raped a white girl homes businesses schools and churches were burned and by and over 100 people died. while

a massacre after another and you sort of rolled across the country all of these riots where thousands of black people were killed if you study history you see that this is been a continuous. a continuous assault on black people yeah we we think there is a giant. and we think it needs to be met because i think it is a just response to america's history my family's. you know status and wealth has as has been has benefited from from their choice to enslave people the total number is staggering of whites who owned at least one black body at least half but at least half up this was probably a good white population i actually met recently the descent descendants of one of the people my family enslaved and found out that i had actually known this this

woman a stellar who's 90 years old now and most of my life is her full name. her name is. sorry i'm blanking on her last name stella. telling you know that she's many years your senior and yet you refer to her by her 1st name right. there it is right there i mean i don't mean any disrespect. to check. well apparently no one else in their family has referred to her by any other in the affair that were direct about yeah yeah yeah no you're absolutely right i think it probably made both of us uncomfortable you know for you for you to call me out there. maybe even to me that maybe not to put it that it was.

i had no idea that the wealth gap between whites and blacks is still so huge today . sandy and kirsten have convinced me that the case for reparations is overwhelming . i wonder if more white americans would agree with me if they knew how much of their wealth advantage is stalling and honor and. i mean houston texas to meet a group of people whose views i'd like to understand black separatists have. not been the thing that i think. the new black panther party has been described as a fairly racist organization whose leaders have encouraged violence against whites and police. yakin in binya one of its former leaders is now chairman of a new organization the people's new black panther party that claims to disavow hatred. is that right here. you you should not just

know one thing by going i grew up in virginia so yeah i've shot counts before of the right yeah i don't own any myself right really and you know and a gun for 10 years. for the panthers are planning a patrol in the southwest of the city where there have been some recent shootings you read a road map. we don't like the police come to town i would neighborhoods patrol and i would neighborhoods and so we should give an example of how we can be self determining. the polies out here killing our you know people on the home and we were patrolling our own neighborhoods we wouldn't have these situations occur so. we have a message of separation we don't want to continue to live with white america hating boyd hasn't worked out we've tried everything we've worked we've served we've been

you know for equal rights and we continue to be in the same situation all right so this is the group fritz and i. tell you both those that. you know do anything is going on without people who will want to call the police on one another stuff like that when we deal with young boys these days in the households will single mothers and things like that we have a number yeah you know you're right my number down so that's what we do and i have a couple already know the mooching south i don't think it's the level of all this but it seems like when you come out here people are pretty interested in what you're doing we come out in the community and people see us it excites them and of course they go to police now yeah yeah we got a call on here so we are just there would always help but they never thought oh we told you not legal rights we're not going to have peace and all right you have a good day all right all right. we're going to do a quick safety check. 6 is open carry state loans don't have been a felonies on your record or anything like that it's ok for you to open carry

is legal in. the huey p. newton gun club is the defense arm of the party there's a lot of different ways to fight racial injustice why do you think you know armed patrols this is is the way to go we had bustling black towns and we were very strong economically but what happened was we lacked the weapons and we're going to have to defend ourselves and this that's the bottom line self-defense what role do you think white people have been. in working towards more equality a lot of people who are afraid to say this word reparations is a bad word is going to be associated with things like welfare and government handouts and stuff like that is not a government handout i think reparations as well overdue let's go ahead and move out. a few weeks ago materials call for compensation may have surprised me but i'm

starting to notice a pattern amongst a diverse range of activists. softly. but. but. not as a white person i'm way out of my comfort zone but. i don't agree with their separatist message in armed patrols but i don't feel any hatred from black to throne but to start suggest to be clear those those views hate against whites and tyson anti-semitism you don't identify with that no no no we're different organization we want a different leadership we're not a hate group we don't hate anybody our actions show we don't hate anybody so how do you feel about that how do you want to live separate do you think will i totally out of my mind that you think we can all get along. i hope that we can get along you know especially if white people are going to come around to the. idea of reparations and and you know trying to make a more fair and equal society because if this doesn't change at some point it's not

going to be pretty it's going good bad to a point where we begin to some point to race wars when we end up breaking up and just a point that was thought to get to now is give me hope because nothing is change and hopefully you see that i'm coming from a good place and i just want what's best for my children and my grandchildren has come in after me well look i'm and i think there's a couple things that we don't agree on but i think upstart understand where you're coming from or how we both learned some things always try to take things away from a conversation. like the protests. not far from houston is where the last american slaves were finally freed in 865. it's depressing to realize that after 150 years some black people feel so let down that they think separation is their only option. making a difference seems almost impossible. but i'm determined to do something.

pay the need. for it it gives me more. than a little thank you thank you for coming to knead invites me to the national gathering of coming to the table where this year's theme is reparations. over the next 2 days i attend several discussions on what white people can do to help. these range from scholarship funds for african-americans. to tips on how to talk to other white people about racial inequality. the conference gives me a lot of good ideas to take away. there's someone from the coming to the table gathering that i want to meet again a.j. i need to apologize for something thoughtless i said earlier i meet up with stephen at a historic house in harrisonburg virginia stevens trying to raise the funds to save

it of the parents that constructed his home where hands that were formerly held in bondage we were talking and you said you know that's what it's like being a black man in virginia and i said i could imagine. i mediately felt pretty foolish for saying that and i don't think you could even imagine what it's like to be a black man in the state of virginia i have to be mindful of every single thing that i say every single place that i go every single thing that i do my body language my you know mannerisms my tone i mean you know it's it's not lost upon me that i have never experienced with a truly means to be free black people in the united states of america or anywhere near free. when you consider. that with one false more. that with one. violation of the fragility of the

feelings of white people. very lives could be taken away from us and ended in an instant what else can you know a white person like me do i want you to see. that despite the best efforts of your ancestors. despite. on the most cunning and conniving and destructive. of plots and plans that were devised by your ancestors my ancestors over care what i'm saying as i'm hoping that you can recognize then that we are equal. because there was a time not that long ago but were your people didn't see mind that way i think it's up to people such as yourself and myself us together to try to do whatever is necessary to make sure we don't perpetuate these lies would you agree absolutely

cannot agree one 0 man. could you follow us. on the last night of the national gathering do need to ask me to join her at the james river in richmond to watch the same trail as her enslaved ancestors. i should. feel like before of course society or staging a reenactment specially for coming to the table deli by. africans captured traded dragged from their motherland. and alter after now my tin weeks at sea so i felt this concealed cargo disembarked only at night to the crack of the whip

in the shadows and same. ha. ha. oh my movie what. do. you know mouth. you know now. left out. now. for over an hour i walked the same dirt path that hundreds of thousands of the slaves africans were forced to follow. as i think about the magnitude of their suffering and sacrifice i feel a deep in sense of shame and sorrow that their descendants have never received a formal apology or a penny in compensation from the u.s. government.

so that was really intense. it was absolutely humbling. and i just kept thinking about everything that had been taken away from the people that arrived on the shores. and how there's no way that that could ever be given back to them. i decided to join the fight for reparations. not just because of my ancestors. but because morally it's the right thing to do. all of us must take responsibility for repaying the vast debt owed to black people so that future generations can finally have an equal share of the opportunities and wealth of this nation it works. it was the of the futuristic bullet train that 1st drew me to japan almost 2 decades

deserted streets in sudan's capital where people back to call to strike and dissipate the military. exit polls that pointed to a landslide win for the chosen successor of kazakhstan longtime president after elections that triggered republican rest also. everybody coming together around one game and one behind one flag actually with kind of his n.b.a. team on the brink of its 1st championship a look at how the raptors rise is already a win for diversity. so that hong kong as leaders are pressing ahead with a controversial new law and those who lead huge weekend protests around you. people to get back out onto the street the organizers estimate more than a $1000000.00 on sunday denouncing the legislation which would allow people to be extradited from hong kong to mainland china it was largely peaceful but several 100

protesters fought with police in the early hours of monday morning. we were told we received feedback that these additional matches highly effective in addressing the concerns of the stakeholders and we will continue to do something so there's no question of us take more of views expressed in society but hong kong has to move on there us to be absolutely efficiencies and gaps in our existing system to do with cross border crimes and transnational crimes. there is sort of a very difficult area to understand why hong kong cannot have any legal systems like criminal metis with our closest neighbors that is a mainland china taiwan and a couple. well in a moment we'll go live to our reporters are in hong kong but 1st here's her report on sunday's extraordinary scene. it started as a peaceful sit in the around the city's palmach building. that soon descended into

chaos holding metal barricades protesters ran the police frontline by pushing back with bathrooms pepper spray and water guns. hundreds camped out on the streets to the government headquarters 3 hour standoff ensued but streets blocked in central hong kong this was a this area by just me and my passion behind the minister confident. they came after more than $1000000.00 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 of the former british territories who say china will target political opponents well we want to protect our children want to return. the next generation so we have to say well what we need to be it is how freedom so that's why we have to come here to protest this is how it was last time protests sharing those concerns

a human right. groups this is a law he abused would legalize political kidnapping the chinese government has a very poor track record of human rights that the. fault of the external forces on fashion culture and obviously i read pro-democracy groups say the proposed rules also threaten home comes from society and undermine civil liberties promised under the one country 2 systems to agreed with the former british territory was handed back to china in 1997 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 fairly grounded in the rules of the master not at this rally is any indication it's clear many in hong kong i'm not convinced let's go live to sarah clarke and great deal of anger about this new law but leaders of unrepentant.

hong kong's chief executive carrie lamb has said that they will forge ahead with the world i want to scrap this despite those huge protests we saw in the streets yesterday with more than 1000000 people joining that rally now that's the biggest protest since the british handover a back to china in 1997 i carry lamb had said that the hong kong's guards or the human rights guards will be protected she said that hong kong does respect the rule of law she said no fugitive will be extradited unless the human rights are protected so she said also had the rights have not been eroded and a bill will be read a 2nd time on wednesday now this has angered the pan democrats who are the pro-democracy groups in parliament and they got a response from claudia morrow who's led at the camp against the opposing the extradition bill. any leader with a great mind facing a protest involving more than 1000000 people with metro really has

a rethink over the issue in hand she would have the cheek to say i'm listening stu to a different opinions and my. official explained further no there's nothing further to explain we didn't need any more verbal or even written safeguards in the law now it's a war of years we want this bill to be scrapped all together. but this extradition bill will have a 2nd reading on wednesday being fast tracked through hong kong's parliament which means it's bypassed a lot of scrutiny in those committee hearings but kerry lamb does want a vote before the end of the month parliament here adjourns for the summer on june 27th now on wednesday when they say the bill is read a 2nd time there will be protests no doubt from the pro-choice and the pro hong kong camp or the pro-democracy groups some of even said that return to the streets

are set to return to the legislative council and avoid work simply to be there when that 2nd rating is down sir thanks very much indeed that's the picture from hong kong let's go now to beijing chinese media so the protests were whipped up by outsiders here's our china correspondent if you're broke. well in the past china's leaders have regarded what happens in hong kong as being an internal issue but that hasn't stopped state controlled media waiting in a monday the china daily which often reflects the government thinking said that it believes foreign forces were behind what he called the chaos in hong kong saying hong kong people are being hoodwinked now china does want this extradition bill to happen it believes it's necessary and also reasonable china points out that hong kong has extradition arrangements with more than 20 other countries including the united states and so china should be no different but there is a danger perhaps that the leadership here in beijing might start to conflate what

is happening in hong kong with its wider dispute with the united states because when china's leaders refer to foreign forces operating in hong kong they are of course referring to the united states to sudan where sudan's military giunta has defended its crackdown on protesters saying it's job to ensure the safety of the country at least 4 more people were killed on sunday in khartoum and in neighboring meant jamila shell 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 kind of tomb are empty these videos appear to show that the public has heated the calls by pro-democracy groups for civil disobedience and a 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. work with 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 gintas 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. to me the only and we will protect the wealthier of the citizens especially when the citizens refused to acknowledge the call to civil disobedience and were determined to go to work this despite the difficulties and the barricades we have therm that the military

council is not an enemy of the forces of change will freedom and or any other political entity in the country and we affirm our determination to achieve the aims of the revolution and in particular the desire to 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 your pm prime minister to mediate between the jensen and pro-democracy groups being received well by both sides security forces arrested several of the group's leaders within hours of the if your pm pm departing khartoum the man believed to be calling the shots in the military council is its vice presidents mohammed 100 than matty the former warlord than 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 emeritus 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 to 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. al-jazeera we've got the weather coming up then the u.s. president is appraising his migration deal with mexico but some are questioning if anything is changed plus. i'm rob reynolds of drano where the raptors have raised high hopes in the city and the country that they will win the n.b.a. basketball championship for the 1st time more on that coming up later.
