us from hong kong so andrew how do we think the numbers are unpacking. the pace that we just heard at the number given by the organizers that what's going on right behind me they're giving out some journalists here and the number they say it's 1700000 for a part where i am in the suburb to the east of here and the causeway bates the west and they say that doesn't include hundreds of thousands. that then marched on to admiralty at the central where many many tens of thousands still are now now we have to be a little cautious with this number because this number is given by the organizers so it's likely to be on the high side and the place when they release that number later on monday will no doubt have a lower number overall nevertheless the organizers a saying that despite to rent sure running at the beginning of this rally here victoria park and pretty steady rain all throughout the day on sunday the numbers

that come to this rally and unauthorized march exceed those that they saw in june that all matters pizza because this was a real test of how much mainstream support the protests in hong kong still have the organization the civil to human rights front but all going on as this march organized those 2 back in june another on the 1st of july they got a 1000000 roughly at the 1st one near to 2000000 on the 2nd about hoffman on the 3rd they haven't had a march or rally since this one was the big test if they could get the same sorts of numbers out and they say that they have that will be a real sign that mainstream hong kong is all still on the side of the protests this despite all the violence that we've seen following smaller protests between the 1st of july and now they're claiming this big big number despite the rain they're saying that is a real sign that the wind is still in their sails and that they won't back down and many things. i mean has more now from. hong kong legislative council is

based. if you 100 protesters have broken away from the main march and has come to this location quite this or cheated one where there had been violence between protesters and police forces in the past now on one side you have the building of the central government of hong kong a bit further down you have the hong kong office of the chinese people's liberation army further down on on this side you have the legislative council and then just on that side you will have the headquarters of the hong kong police as i said you will confrontation here in the past so certainly there is a bit of how you didn't tension at the moment it's very peaceful and there is no sign of police on the streets now as we were marching with protesters i asked them a chill and a half months down what is the most important for you at this stage and it's not

any more they revoke ation of the extradition bill by large everybody said that the investigation into police brutality was done most important to take home come forward one girl said i would not trust police and i won't feel safe in my city if that doesn't happen certainly it shows you do divide that had been growing over the past 11 weeks now also you you asked them well at the moment the government has given no responses no seeming to engage with you and not giving any indication what it will give in to any of these 5 demands oh well people say they will continue being on the street because for many of them it's really a matter of the future of this place of what kind of hong kong will be in the years to come especially gearing towards 2047 so certainly. a

lot of resilience among people despite the heavy downpour of rain they were saying that that is the minimum they could do. especially after they sew the violence unfolding after more than 700 people have been detained and are waiting many thought that just. under heavy raid was the minimum they could do a for taking part in these protests. it is one of the worst attacks in afghanistan this year a suicide bomber targeted a packed wedding hall in kabul on saturday night at least $63.00 people were killed and nearly $200.00 were injured most of the guests were members of the minority community has now claimed responsibility for the attack which comes as the u.s. and taliban trying to reach an agreement to end nearly 18 years of fighting the president of the taliban cannot escape blame for destabilizing the country. in the bush the targeting of our people in such events like wedding parties schools

mosques markets and public places indicates the atrocity of a terrorist group who is determined to kill the innocent people the taliban cannot absolve themselves of blame for they provide a platform for terrorists. this report from the hospital in kabul where many of the injured are being treated. we're outside emergency hospital in central kabul where dozens of people are waiting for any years of loved ones people have been firies here all night the wounded and also did people caught up in this explosion at about 1040 last night it was a waiting for one on the street by waiting in southwest was his are waiting which is the shia minority here in afghanistan we understand that a suicide bomber at the wedding and decimated himself near the front near the stage in the main section causing many many pieces one of the deadliest explosions in kabul this last year we talked to one man who has sat outside this hospital oh not

waiting to hear news he feared people back and forth all night and he was in shock here's what he said. i was at the back of the wedding hall when suddenly an explosion happened it was very big i fell down where i was when i stood up i saw tables and people were scattered everywhere the scene was awful my brother was injured most of my friends were killed traditionally these type of the turks are claims my arsenal is store target shia the his are a minority afghanistan in these areas while the violence in afghanistan comes against the backdrop of talks between the u.s. and the taliban the 2 sides have been holding regular meetings in qatar since october as they tried to end the 18 year long conflict talks between afghan officials and taliban representatives have also taken place but negotiations are complicated by frequent attacks the presence of islip fighters and a presidential election planned for september. is

a political and regional security analyst he says with the taliban taking part in the talks and its affiliates gauge more violence. this is a significant good son among the analysts and general public by and large people who think that once the taliban joins the peace process there is every possibility that they will try to jump in and try to fill the vacuum and and take the lead in spreading while it's also in the other concern is that there might be some elements among the taliban fighters at the foot soldier level and at the mc command level that they might not be happy with the peace process and they would want to have a military conquest and they may also choose to join the taliban because in the past some of the taliban leading figureheads in the eastern part of afghanistan the joint eyes i still i is what our son from the ranks of taliban and they're joining

the. this group so did it get out of definitely concerns connected to this that once the taliban joined the peace process or if everything goes according to the plan and according to the expectations i still will be another group that pulls the trigger but in the meantime there is an expectation that considering the size of the sun and considering the more diverse that they have those all do not match the local context so do want to be able to penetrate as widely as the taliban have been so there are concerns but there are expectations that there would be that such a such a big threat as it is currently being conceived by many to europe denying a u.s. request to seize an iranian oil tanker that's been held in the british territory for 6 weeks a supreme court judge ordered the vessels release but the u.s. department of justice issued

a warrant for his detention as the tank is now expected to leave in the next few hours under simmons is there. now you have a confirmation from the authorities here in that there won't be an extension of the detention order or not so much of the extension a re re imposition of the of the detention order the court action in the united states has no application here that's really the nub of it the explanation given by the central authority here in gibraltar is this that the legal system here does not apply because the us action is based on u.s. sanctions the action taken by gibraltar in the u.k. was inforced under e.u. sanctions and as far as that issue goes there is compliance now because there was an assurance that this cargo on board 2100000 barrels of like crude oil is not destined for syria so the explanation here is and forgive me if you're losing me

it's pretty choppy out here the action taken before by the supreme court can't happen again so nothing short of the u.s. actually boarding this ship in international waters when it goes will will stop this process of this oil moving along the mediterranean to an unknown destination still to come here on al-jazeera. the u.s. president considers declaring a group of peace activists a terrorist organization but not the far right demonstrates as they were facing. tens of thousands left homeless a fire sweeps through a slum in the capital of bangladesh. we've got more flooding rains across southern parts of china at the moment the big
