well it has been 30 years since this image was seared into our collective memory that iconic photo of a lone man facing down a column of armored tanks defiance of the brutal crackdown of tiananmen square when chinese soldiers shot and killed thousands of their unarmed fellow citizens in the spring of 1909 students occupied the square demanding new reforms and freedoms from the communist government but their hopes for economic and social change greater freedom of speech and less corruption were too much for the regime the chinese government declared martial law and in the early hours of june the 4th troops moved in and brutally and. the pro-democracy movement their actions shocked the world on sunday a chinese government spokesperson said that the 1989 crackdown had been the right thing to do it's a stark departure from decades of attempting to keep the event out of the history books and punishing those who commemorate it now despite that there are people
8:05 am
doing their best to keep the memory of tiananmen square the massacre there alive. there back in 1989 i was a 4th year student in university who was a book publisher in hong kong. so i wasn't very interested in society are pretty. when everybody went to tiananmen square i just went to have a look everybody went there she was but what he saw there changed his life students were mourning. the reform minded leader i was to 2 years prior they saw him as a victim of a corrupt party elite soon they started raising more issues who were living standards human rights corruption. for the time had an argument with my father he already said if the students continue this might lead to bloodshed i could not agree to what his father was then
8:06 am
a high ranking official but i didn't know this would end in such a tragedy but i knew it was a very difficult situation and this. woman had been a close aide to jobs the young the successor to bob dole as a young was also a reform and want to dialogue with the students but the conservative prime minister favored a hardline approach. were. bombed sources and i was not interested in my father's work and i didn't care what he was doing in the government. what the son did not know was another man was in control. china's senior leader had retired from most duties. cantering knew the students knew who had been ousted by done shopping 2 years before that. over the next few weeks the students became more and more radical they demanded negotiations with the parties some went on
8:07 am
a hunger strike they wanted a lot of sympathy and on the way. back everybody had a feeling that we would certainly win because everybody supported us that's what i saw in the square. when i came home there was a deeply pessimistic atmosphere of freedom being one of the. you know what you're. on may 18th being instructed the government to declare martial law the reformers in the party had lost the young disappeared from public view he spent the rest of his life. was at the c.s.i. prepared for an investigation but what i didn't know was they would investigate me in prison. he was detained a week off to chose another week later tanks and to this was watching from their account and talking to the when they started shooting i thought they were shot in the area where it's many people were rushing the wounded on our bikes into the
8:08 am
hospitals that's when i understood they were really killing people. left the country shortly after he became a publisher of critical books many of them about 1909 there when i for you for me the events of the 1989 are still like an open wound. well tom was released after 8 years in prison he remains under constant surveillance. to what i'm doing when they expelled me from the party they liberated me my brain and my mouth are free today father and son cannot talk often about who is allowed to visit once a year and some use not at all let's get more now on this from the author of that report who is joining us from hong kong mathias what can we expect today in china any sort of public commemoration of the crackdown planned or
8:09 am
a wall of silence. it's impossible to publicly commemorate in china in mainland china this event people who have been privately commemorating or who have been posting things online people who are known to be critics have been seized before or have been put under house arrest or under surveillance this event is something you cannot speak about i think the most maybe . daring thing you could do is post maybe a picture of a candle on. groups into groups social media groups but there is no way you can commemorate in public and right now here in hong kong a city which at least nominally enjoy some greater freedoms than the rest of china ever since britain handed over power there in 1907 what is the state of free speech where you are today. with regard to this
8:10 am
event to the common ration of the 4th of june 1909 hong kong is the only place on chinese soil where this is possible there is going to be a vigil tonight with candles and with the usually several tens of thousands or even in the hundreds of thousands people joining this is a very important event to this city because it is it shows the spirit of resistance of this city. freedom of speech is declining in hong kong that is clear books that could be appeared before do not appear anymore shops take them out of their shelves because they are afraid of some repercussions nominally it's still there but it's shrinking. mathias i just like to bring in something said yesterday about the scar anniversary by the u.s. secretary of state mike pale he said the following the united states hoped the china's integration into the international system would lead to
8:11 am
a more open tolerant society those hopes have been dashed is that an accurate assessment. this is something that we've seen in the last 2 years 1st in america but also in other western countries china watchers are disappointed by the development china has taken this has a lot to do with what has been happening in china in the last 5 years as china has tightened up controls. the freedoms that would there were that were evolving slowly in the 1st decade of the century they have been turned back china is now living through one of the harshest periods. for freedom of speech within the last 30 years so this description is absolutely accurate but he is in hong kong on the 30th anniversary of the tiananmen square massacre
8:12 am
thank you. let's get a quick check now of the stories making news around the world italy's prime minister decepticon today has said that he will resign if the 2 parties and the governing coalition to not stop squabbling the far right league party and the populist 5 star movement have been arguing for months over a range of issues so he has no party affiliation says that he now wants a clear and expedient response. hungary and in south korea divers in budapest have recovered a 2nd body from the wreck of a tourist boat that sank in the river danube last week of the 33 people on board only 7 are known to have survived the accident. and the indian capital delhi is to offer women free public transport in an effort to improve their safety almost a 1000000 are expected to benefit crime against women has become a major political issue in delhi city's government said that public transport was considered the safest way for them to travel around the city. to sudan now
8:13 am
where the military has cancelled a power transfer agreement with protesters and called for elections the move comes a day. after security forces opened fire on protesters killing at least 30 people and injuring many more there have been ongoing demonstrations in khartoum calling on a caretaker military council to make way for a civilian government after the fall of sudan's longstanding dictator omar al bashir. after weeks of sit ins occupations and demonstrations the military opens fire on cartoons protesters. heavily armed members of the paramilitary wrap it support forces a unit formally associated with messages were deployed along the capital's main roads to disperse the protests. killing and injuring many. civilians have been conducting
8:14 am
a huge city in central khartoum for weeks demanding that the transitional military council hand over power to the people. once news spread that the military had opened fire more protesters are out in the streets building barricades and calling for peace and more protests. after the dispersal of the sit in we went back to the streets and squares and thank god with the help of the youth we closed the street and we will close everything again god willing. the protesters cut ties with the military council off to the bloodshed and then the generals hit back. previous agreements with protest leaders are off they say they'll now hold elections within 9 months but it seems very much on the military's own terms where it is almost. the bloodshed has drawn international condemnation the secretary general strongly condemns the violence and reports of the excessive force used by security personnel
8:15 am
on civilians that have resulted in the deaths and injury of many and he is a lawyer by reports that security forces have opened fire inside medical facilities both sides a calling for peace but with lines of communication down that won't be easy. and journalist jason joins us now with the view from khartoum what is the situation like this morning. well it's a bit uncertain. unlike yesterday there has not been a lot of gunfire this morning so in that sense it isn't true from where i can see there are many troops on the street but that certainly does not mean that the capital has the ability to rise in any way. really today the day of. people are mourning people are mourning people who were killed people are mourning the loss of the sit in which had become basically a city within a city people are still trying to count the dead and wounded. and of
8:16 am
course with both sides now calling off anti saucony there haitians. there's a lot of uncertainty as as to what will happen next. there are reports that there will be new demonstrations. eve holidays coming up or is upon us actually so as to who are burying their dead and going up celebrate ied it's possible that that those events take a strong political. and on the political level i mean we have the military here cracking the power transfer agreement with protesters and calling for elections with a 9 mm on this looks like a military power grab is it. well they're already was a military power grab centrally or maybe we could say that the military simply never gave up power they simply removed. omar al bashir. and some of his
8:17 am
associates but that remained from control ever since throughout the negotiations which started over a month ago the army really blew hot and cold didn't say one thing and then they wouldn't really follow through or. and things like that so i think and. i think now it's a bit of his that you have to work on big things on their terms they're not willing to give up power and. and we've seen you know the killings yesterday that they will use force to ensure that jack general is jason patinkin what else can we expect today. well one thing that we are wondering about horses is the exact death toll so a doctor's committee linked to the protests has said that the death toll is $35.00 . but there are many wounded and acts nice to hospitals has been has
8:18 am
been pour with reports of military surrounding even chancery hospitals and so one of the main things will be looking for today is a clear accounting very clear account of. who was killed who was wounded and how many yesterday the other thing that that it's possible of course are. more for demonstrations demonstrations continued in other parts of fortune and surrounding areas last night's roads were barricaded. so you know the people it's not like the people are backing down that people have been protesting for months so we can well look out for more demonstrations visible change to be taken in khartoum thank you so much thank you. watching news still to come on the program sex education but for adults we'll visit a workshop in japan where parents can overcome taboos and are learning how to
8:19 am
discuss the sensitive subject their children. now ukraine's new president hello to me was a landscape as in brussels today meeting representatives of the european union and nato is trying to reinvigorate efforts to bring peace to eastern ukraine where the ukrainian army has been fighting russian backed separatists since 2014 those efforts that are being closely watched by the more than 2000000 displaced people who have fled their homes in the region. nick connelly reports. straight to his skin it's monastery until 5 years ago this was a place where the people of the donbass region came to pray and enjoy the view. but when conflict broke out in 2014 i think he just quickly became a place of refuge for thousands fleeing the fighting for a time refugees outnumber the locals 10 to 1. 5 years old and some of those refugees are still here around 200 people have found home in the monastery taking

the place of pilgrims who once came here in large numbers it's mainly the elderly and single parents who haven't been able to move on alone a coalition of donetsk is one of them most of the busy. lot of a sudden there were houses around where we lived and they were firing we waited for a few days before finally leaving. i thought would only be gone for a short while so i didn't even take much with me but i was wrong it all seemed ridiculous i couldn't believe it was happening to me even once i got here. without the free food and accommodation provided by the ministry says she wouldn't be able to make ends meet back in town yet 6 she worked in the family business but the war has scattered her family one of her sisters is living in russia while her mother stayed behind to daniel's. look at the cameras really say hello to grandma.
8:21 am
just. before the war religion wasn't a big part of a long as life taking part in daily worship isn't compulsory for those living more history but it has become 2nd nature and a source of hope a learner tells us. still believe me if i want peace i want to be able to bring up my kids we didn't understand the value of the life we had in donetsk until we've lost it we have left. well japan is a country of many credit cards for addictions take sex for example the subject appears to be out of the open with pornographic comic books sold at nearly every convenience store but you ban is also extremely conservative with parents tiptoeing around the subject of sex a survey released last year suggests that sex education at school is minimal leaving many students confused and in the dark about the most basic of facts.
8:22 am
it's no origin resteal day here at tokyo's conan middle school. sex education is on today's lesson plan in what is probably the industrialized world least in lightened country when it comes to human sexuality classes separated boys here girls there and not all of them will get advice from their parents you know hannah and i can talk about it at home and i don't have any older siblings either. in class we don't go into much detail with some of the topics but this plenty of information online much of it is h mistreated but it's easy to get around so we look at it. the 9th graders are in the midst of puberty surrounded by anime and online pornography but their teachers do not actually talk about the to be topics of sexual intercourse contraception or
8:23 am
abortion sex ed in japanese schools is complex but it seems seems to be to pass on as little information as possible. the fear is that if they know too much it will lead to an increase in unwanted pregnancies many girls are getting pregnant because they're getting the wrong information. if sexuality isn't properly discussed at home then i think it's up to the schools to fulfil that role. but the ban on. frank discussion in school creates a vacuum of knowledge that can result in sexual behavior disorders ignorance over birth control methods sexually transmitted disease and even unwanted pregnancies in order to protect their children from this feat these mothers are attending as workshop the former nurse talks openly she asks what do i tell my child if he or she frequently masturbates her views per knockers me at a young age many are too embarrassed even to voice questions like these.
8:24 am
many mothers have problems talking about it that they never experienced it when they were kids but they were this and this relaxed environment mothers play games to lower their inhibitions against self-confidence has to educate the parents before they can teach their children. that i didn't know anything when i had my 1st period i thought it would just happen once and then be over my family cook traditional red rice to mark the occasion i had absolutely no idea what was going on. thanks to a card game from a new gym as workshop. is having an easier time talking to her daughter about sex it's an important conversation that has better equipped her daughter for the transition to adulthood. that's right we don't cover this in
8:25 am
school but it's better to know this i understand it now now i know how a baby is made. and i also know how i would have a child. unlike many japanese this 10 year old now understands the basics of human sexuality but it's not just about the physical act feelings are also involved. understanding is hard to achieve in a claim it where young people are too shy to ask questions parents keep silent and schools up hold the status quo. but these mothers have understood that they are after all talking about the most natural thing in the world. tonight a south african runner caster semenya will not need to take testosterone reducing medication to compete at least for now after a swiss court temporarily suspend or suspended a recent ruling last month the olympic $800.00 metre champion lost
