was a planned extradition law which spawned the protest movement but now hong kong's on rest is about so much more and it's drawn the harshest words yet from the territories ultimate rule is in beijing they have called monday's takeover of the hong kong legislative council a blatant challenge to the one country 2 systems bottom line and they say we express our vehement condemnation against this why well think about the sort of pictures that we saw the unfolding of a british era colonial flag over the speakers podium and then the defacing with spray paint of the official seal of hong kong symbolic stuff 22 years to the day after britain handed over control of hong kong to china that anniversary also marked by yet another huge march out on the streets this was the 3rd we saw in as many weeks or a matter of weights hundreds. thousands of people filling the streets protesting
5:02 pm
not just against the extradition bill but the government response and what they see as increasing control coming from beijing what's happening now let's find out with andrew thomas here he is outside well a lot calmer as we pointed out earlier on and i guess that's effectively a crime scene now the police tapes up there. that's exactly what it is it's actually just started pouring with rain here now so what was an ongoing investigation would place bringing a lot and lots of choline loads of evidence out of this completely trashed legislative council building behind me has been poured while the rain poured down you start thinking what might have happened 24 hours ago to have this rain come down to this extent because this may have cleared the thousands of thousands of protesters outside this building before they went in before the confrontation with the place began what a difference the weather could have made but it wasn't writing last night it was dry and that did help the conversation really get going people have been sitting in the hot heat all day long and you really felt the tension building what's been
5:03 pm
happening on tuesday is a big clear out of the streets around its legislative council building because they were trashed as well as the building itself i mean saw eat a big place investigation bringing out as i say probably loads of what has become now evidence of things that the protesters took in with them they are now being brought out by place they're going to be fingerprinted the place tell us and they're also going to look at lots of their own camera footage to try and identify it and then prosecute those who broke into this building and the violent protesters who were outside as well kerry lam hong kong chief executive have a very early morning pre-dawn press conference on tuesday and gave no ground whatsoever 1st of all she's definitely not going to resign she says and she says these extradition laws that are suspended will remain suspended but they won't be cancelled as the protesters want and the idea that protest if you get any kind of amnesty for taking part in political protests will know she said that criminals are hooligans the violence is obscene and they will be prosecuted so the hong kong
5:04 pm
government giving no ground whatsoever and for the protest is really a sense of what next well why don't we talk about that what are they telling you about what happens next because you sort of get the feeling after all the all the the the peaceful protests and then a big event like this they would struggle to pull something like this again. absolutely well i've been talking to a couple of our testers about an hour or so ago now people who were inside that building and people who remained outside as well and to be honest then move to somewhere between anticlimax and despondency even those who were in there doing some of the damage themselves feel in retrospect they went too far because what they had on their side prior to monday was public opinion you had almost 2000000 people marching a few weeks back now in june and the vast majority of people here in hong kong study that i've spoken so you over the last week or so that i've been here are broadly supportive of what those marches one seed i.e.
5:05 pm
the cancellation of those extradition laws on that narrow issue they were absolutely out juan with the protesters but when the protesters broke into that building on monday and really cause significant damage within that building and it wasn't that the police were at that stage in confrontation with them they went in there when they were no play stopping them going in there and they really did a lot of damage in that they have lost the support of a lot of hong kong with the i've been speaking to on monday and the protest is themselves realize that and they realize that it's going to take some time behind it to try and win confidence back now they explain the violence because they say it's full of frustration the fact that 2000000 people could march in the streets and in their eyes it's not much get achieved the fact that they can petition legislators nothing changes the fact that they can get school children to write to the legislators to get huge petitions to get international coverage in the media none of these things seem to be achieve what they needed and they say when you mix disappointments with young people who are around all day today fired up because of
5:06 pm
the way they felt place and dealt with previous protesters ready for a confrontation many of the protesters came most came with hardhats many with gas small because while anticipating tear gas well they said in the end what that will lead to was in the inevitability of some kind of violence but whether it is set back their course will. concerned it may have done when i spoke to you about an hour ago now say the one thing that in the short term he wants is to have a rest fair enough. reporting live from hong kong thank you very much. and now here is katrina a year with more of the reaction from the chinese capital beijing. this is the hong kong the chinese government wanted the world to see celebrations marking the 22nd anniversary of its return to the chinese motherland instead these with the scenes broadcast around the world dismissed by beijing as little more than violent mobs pursing but it says is a blatant challenge to the one country 2 systems rule its strongest words yet very
5:07 pm
few 1000 of what happened in hong kong violently striking into the law and the damaging facilities is an act of troubling rule of law violating social order is a serious the law breaking behavior. the communist party has condemned the storming of hong kong's legislative council and its full support behind chief executive kerry land government it's backing a police investigation into the criminal responsibility of those involved on monday night saying offenders who feel the full force of the law. the chinese government are continuing to play down the takeover of hong kong's column and calling it the illegal behavior of a group of radicals but the intensity of the protests have no doubt time is leadership and pundits and questions as to why so many who are resisting they jews control they see or perceive that somehow beijing is overreaching
5:08 pm
that it's violating what they perceive as the spirit or the agreement that was in the hand-over from beijing's point of view they're protecting their people and their country for now from chinese state media familia party line continuing to protest will only undermine social order and harm hong kong. beijing is watching closely waiting to see of hong kong government is able to stamp out the unrest if not it may bring with these protesters fear the more stuff more controlled from the mainland catrina you al-jazeera beijing. meanwhile hong kong itself coming to terms with the dramatic events of the past 24 hours why and how this report. the center of power in hong kong is now a crime scene the legislative council its parliament is in disarray after anti-government protesters broke in on monday night's the morning after the
5:09 pm
violence police began investigating the incident which may result in protesters being charged for trespassing and vandalism those who usually work here and still coming to terms with what happened. this is a place for hong kong people it is a symbol of legislation even though people including the youngsters have different opinions they have no right to cause damage to the legislative council i think we should all protect this council it's a place to discuss politics not a place for fighting hours after the riot police dispersed the rally a cleanup operation also began work is cleared piles of debris left behind as protesters made a quick retreat the latest rally came to an end amid clouds of tear gas and charging police the catalyst for the crackdown was the decision by protesters to force their way into the government building it came after a much larger peaceful anti-government march earlier in the day organizers said
5:10 pm
more than half a 1000000 people came out on the 22nd anniversary of the handover of hong kong from great britain to china they want hong kong's chief executive to resign and for a controversial extradition bill to be withdrawn. they see the bill which would allow criminal suspects to be sent to mainland china for trial as another sign of beijing's increasing control over hong kong as the police investigation continues here the debate is only really just beginning about the decision by protesters to burst into this building causing so much damage along the way and whether it will turn public opinion against the anti-government movements even some supporters of the protesters believe it was a mistake but they say it has to be viewed in a broader context of what they're trying to achieve why this down people. so this is respectful to the legislature that is because they cannot represent a voice of the people the people of hong kong is still trying to digest what

president is calling on iran to immediately reduce its enrich uranium reserves the un's nuclear watchdog has confirmed it is stockpiling more enriched uranium than is allowed under the 2015 you create deal more of the reaction from paris now with an . now according to european diplomatic sources britain france and germany the 3 european signatories to the 2015 iran deal are really intent on trying to diffuse the situation after iran exceeded its uranium limits these diplomatic sources also say that these 3 powers are not going to trigger a special mechanism that was in shrine in the 2015 a deal which would lead to the reimposition or u.n. sanctions on iran the focus clearly for european powers is to try and persuade to tehran to continue to comply with the deal earlier in the day we heard
5:17 pm
from the french president amount of virus statement that was released by the elise a in which mark was calling on iran to reverse the steps it's taken to exceed its uranium limits it's also urging tehran to comply with the deal saying that president bankroll really focus on the next few days on doing everything he can to make sure that this deal survived is something we also heard from the british foreign minister there is a clear desire on behalf of the europeans to continue to fight for this deal as they have done so ever since the united states pulled out and we impose sanctions last year. with more from the iranian reactions. iran speaker of parliament johnny speaking during a ceremony to mark the 988 us shoot down of an iranian passenger airliner flight 655 the remarks that he made really reflected the frustration of the iranian leadership now 290 people died in 1908 when a u.s.
5:18 pm
missile cruiser fired at the passenger airliner but when the 2050 nuclear deal was signed the trust gap that exists between iran and the united states from years of conflict and incidents like this shoot down a lot of that trust had been bridged by moves made by the administration of u.s. president barack obama the latest remarks today from mr larijani illustrate how much of that trust deficit being built up that trust deficit being done away with during the obama administration much of that has been undone by the administration of u.s. president donald trump more should. america's problem is that they don't know the middle east and the iranian nation and they think if they deploy some warships to the region they can suppress the determination of a nation but iranians have shown they have unified should realize that a civilized nation is more united when they believe if they understand that many problems will be sold understanding it needs wisdom on monday the u.n.

5:21 pm
in 1st then we can start telling the commission what to do instead which is a complete about turn from how things usually are and that air of slight results in the air is obviously being completely magnified by the new makeup of the parliament the decreased power of the sense of parties and suddenly how the liberals in the greens emerging on one side and the populists on the hard right on the other side these are not the kind of people to rubber stamp decisions and so given that it does look like a new and more noisy make of the parliament here there will be people who say well that's not very good it's messy and it's not very good for political stability across europe but a lot of other people might think well hang on we in europe don't even know who our m.e.p. is are a lot of the time let alone understand what the point of the european parliament is if it is more noisy and more democratic that might end up actually being quite a good thing. that session of parliament happened on the 3rd day of talks on who should actually fill the top jobs positions include the president of the european
