11:09 am
time since sunday's larger protests apologizing for handling of controversial plan changes to extradition laws here's what she had to say just a few moments ago well have expressed in a peaceful and rational men their concerns about the fugitive offenders ordinance and this set is for action and this appointment with the government especially me i have heard you loud and clear and i have reflected deeply on all that has transpired. the concerns over the past few months have been caused by deficiencies in the work of the government over the amendment exercise i personally have to show them much of the responsibility. this has led to controversies this bill and societies in society. for this i
11:10 am
offer my most sincere apology so all people but for the very latest on this from sarah clarke our correspondent who's been following events for us in the whole colon yet another appearance in front of the media and yet another apology but is it enough sara. of course she might apology on sunday but it was by a government so there's been a lot of criticism and accusations that she's cowardly and she's going to be representing the people but she had her face in saturday when she had a press conference announcing the suspension of this controversial extradition law as you just heard she has a feeling apologized and she said she's heard the voice of the people she's known to be actions over the last 2 weeks of course we had 2 sundays ago we had the 1000000 people on the street last sunday had 2000000 people in the state demanding this extradition be scrapped and they also want to carry land to resign at this site this press conference which is holding as we speak she's only expression here
11:11 am
apologies she said hong kong suffice with the rule of law and she's passionate about the future of our home as were the people who marched on the street so this is her way of saving face and certainly trying to hammer out a few anger that is in hong kong at the moment over this controversial extradition bill some of these protesters we might never see behind me they gathering behind listening to her address as we speak i fancy he said in english they gather here to see what they want she's got to cite some had hoped that she would resign but that is unlikely to happen at this stage it's just i think here apologies to the people of hong kong but in terms of the legislation that is being you might say debated hotly across whole call where are we with but obviously it hasn't gone to the law just a chore and it hasn't been passed but activists want it to go all together and that's where the impasse is right now. yes that's exactly right and look on now. on saturday that's when she announced the suspension
11:12 am
of this extradition law and the suspension simply means it's on hold she gave no shit as for when it was to return to the lips of counsel which is hong kong's comment of course what triggered all these protests and what the anger of the last couple of weeks here in hong kong was it was meant to go for a 2nd reading in hong kong now that was suspended and that's for a voice heard i'm always wants that but to go through my. life now which is when the hong kong parliamentarians the politicians when they break for the summer so she was she was accused of bulldozing the story so instead she's been forced to withdraw that but not withdraw and suspend but not jump all together which is one of the key demands of these purchases of course the other one. and that sign now those protesters say this is the strongest movement or the opposition movement but i have given her an ultimatum of foodstuff they want her to meet their demands by
11:13 am
them not their promise to escalate their protest action of course in a couple of weeks on july 1st we have an anniversary not an anniversary rally for her but every year it marks the handover of the former british territory back to china this year but the message will be loud and clear. that the deadline if they also find it isn't met by the process this year that really is highly likely to be about the extradition and as we saw couple of weeks ago we saw $1000000.00 on the streets sometimes 14000000 on the streets and the focus is a sign that will get more people in a hurry lamb doesn't meet their demands by the date so we'll keep a very close eye on what happens up to the state thanks ira. still ahead here on out as are the u.n. threatens to stop delivering aid to areas controlled by hutu rebels in yemen to find out why.

the wedding sponsored by the time. hello there is still very hot for many of us across europe at the moment we've got a notable exception in the northwest you can see this latest area of cloud has now worked its way across many parts of spain there across parts of france up through the british isles and it's edging up towards sweden that's giving some of us some heavy rain and it's also ensuring it stays fairly cool for many of us so a top temperature just of 20 degrees in london is quite different to what's going on elsewhere in europe madrid's up 3006 at 29 and even for the east it's 26 in warsaw and in this rather hot weather we are seeing plenty of thunderstorms a more are expected as we head through chews day and into wednesday too we're also expecting a few thunderstorms in the northern parts of africa as well we've been watching this area of cloud had just drift its way eastwards that's given us a few lively downpours but it doesn't like it's fizzling out now so just

watching on the whole robin a reminder of our top stories egypt's only democratically elected president mohamed morsi has been buried at a cemetery in cairo a day after he died in court security forces kept journalists away from the burial service. as they refused to allow his father to be buried in his hometown. also egyptian state television said mohammed morsi had died of a heart attack he'd been imprisoned since 2013 when he was toppled after less than a year in power. let's cross over to turkey now and to our correspondents and because of course we are getting reaction from across the world sydney and let's
11:17 am
just get the reaction from where you are considering the president has been very vocal about his tribute to mohamed morsi. yes exactly a turkish president has always been very sensitive about mohammed mercy's overthrow and the period where when he was jailed and also his tribute as well he actually started his sentences yesterday. by saying i'm leaving my doubts aside and he believes president mohamed morsi was elected president of egypt and he and he has been victimized he has been a victim for democracy that's why he called hamad morsi as a martyr in a special status for both islam and. for the country and there are reactions coming from the in n.g.o.s across turkey because in 2000 and july
11:18 am
2013 when mohamed morsi was always thrown by. general up to fit the whole sisi at that time the streets were full of people at the time and a turkish people and assured solidarity and support to the morsi government because turkey has also been the military coup process's minutes times that's why people have reacted and today last night actually the top religious body of turkey religious directorate ordered absentee foun a real prayers on behalf of mohamed morsi of course almost in almost across turkey and today in the midday there will be sent to for prayers for him also in the late afternoon after so that's an assett of prayers the ngos will gather in the stumbles of photic mosque which is a symbolic place for those kinds of gatherings and protests especially regarding the incident for the for the middle east and muslim world indeed are you touched
11:19 am
upon it just a moment ago there as well sitting in the military overthrows or attempted military coups uncomfortable subject for turkey so there is that connection as well as an old. yes of course i mean a turkish several course in history is is actually sensitive about the military coups because since the republic was established in 1923 there has been a lot of there has been many ministry coups and even could fires and they took his present dredge up to a powder on who has been jailed just for citing a plan back in late 1990 s. a he is sensitive about that because also after he became a prime minister and the chairman of the ruling party he again went through such period his party was about to be closed and he was about to be and there were plans that there could be a military coup so that's why he's sensitive about that because he has also been
11:20 am
through a similar period and also let's not forget that in july 2016 turkey has been through a coup attempt which actually failed but. more than 250 people died in that ministry quit trying to defend their democratic rights and democracy elected governments that's why also back at the time in 2013 when morsi was jailed many people said that prisons are gone actually is so himself and morsi that's why. he internalized the situation in egypt and he has always been very vocal about what happened to mohamed morsi and his cabinet in egypt closely with her final course followed certainly from turkey in the hours ahead to the moment sort of bank you. know the u.s. is sending a 1000 more troops to the middle east i was before making better notes from the pentagon released pictures that it says show elite iranian troops removing an unexploded morning from one of the 2 alternatives hit by explosions last week how
