rebounding but as i said if it's going to this going if this is going to continue for for a long period of time it will impact the growth and the position of president sisi in egypt i believe president p.c. . is really on able to establish or maintain security in it in certain parts of parts of the country especially the time kind into law and the western desert and when i was looking at the state department u.s. state department's travel advisory website it said i that as of july 2nd they have increased the risk of travel to egypt which as i said it's going to have a negative impact on actually gone to me by going back to what i was saying i don't think cairo is able to maintain security or to question security in some parts of the country. protesters in hong kong are

gathering for another mass rally as they continue to put pressure on the government there demanding the official withdrawal of a planned extradition law and an independent inquiry into the handling of weeks of demonstrations we'll go live to our correspondent rob mcbride who's there in hong kong at the 7th consecutive weekend then these protests are pretty they're showing that they are sustained. absolutely marty this does feel really familiar another sunday afternoon sweltering heat and thousands of protesters take to the streets once more we are in the causeway bay area of hong kong a block or 2 away from victoria park that's the traditional starting point for all of these marches thousands of people are gathering there the reason why we are here is because when you get into an area like that with $100000.00 plus people then

there simply isn't any bandwidth so we have got ahead of the curve as it were and are waiting for the marchers to come down here on the coming down this highway and then marching towards the central district of hong kong it is similar to a lot of other marches and what makes this so different and in some in some respects quite concerning for the authorities is that they intend to stop this march about half way we are in the causeway barrier of hong kong these marches wanted to take their protest all the way to the central business district of hong kong the police in your thirty's here have requested them and are telling them that their march will stop in one child that's an area that's halfway between here and central and we have no idea at the moment whether the protesters will stop whether they'll try to get round the police lines whether the police will put up a resistance put up police lines to prevent them or whether there will fall back we simply have no idea.
