leaving told those folks in threat. a michael ok welcome to the program in hong kong hundreds of thousands of people have taken to the streets for a huge rally against a proposed extradition law the law would allow suspects to be sent to mainland china to face trial critics of the bill fear this could lead to arbitrary detention an unfair trial on congress returned to china in 1907 but has kept its own system of justice today's march is the city's largest in more than a decade. with me now is student bonnie chang from hong kong bonnie you organized a rally of protest against this particular law right here in berlin why is this so . personal for you so basically i think like i am
7:02 pm
a student here in berlin and then i and all the freedom here and i see what's happening in my hometown and that's why i think like i am someone living in a free country now i reflect a responsibility to tell the world what's happening. so you feel it's your personal responsibility yes and also like the responsibility of the hong kong us nothing in the us so that's why we stand up and have to. you telling me earlier that it's always been your plan to go back to hong kong does this make it more likely for you to want to go back to hong kong or less likely it is that unfortunately less likely to go back to hong kong because like it is. our freedom of speech is affected by this effortlessly and that's why i like i will think ok maybe interesting in germany you know the leaders of hong kong have said that every decision would made the need by case by case basis and that those people who looked
7:03 pm
like they would get an unfair trial china the leaders in hong kong would protest are you not buying that unfortunately not really because like the chief executive is not elected by us and then she has. the. power to choose like was sent back to china so that's why i cannot really believe in that you feel those leaders don't represent to be yes exactly why is this debate taking place now. so actually is have been ticking along place but it has been come up to the international. because like they are now trying to push. to. parliament and that's why i like it angers like the hong kong people yes 2 part question for you why do you think so many people showed up for this protest and do you think will ultimately make
7:04 pm
a difference. so basically because like in comparison to like what's happening in the past of phone call. at the people arrested you still saying in the hong kong person but lie after this law is passed so like the person this in hong kong. to china and then there's like difference in between like the 2 places in terms of human rights and that's why i like it is that a lot of people sharing of really mild political views are going on to st as well for the last day or go. i'm not sure. activists and student here in berlin thank you so much thank you. now to some of the other stories making news around the world at least 4 people have been reported killed in sudan as the country's opposition embarks on a new protest campaign security forces fired live rounds and tear gas to disperse demonstrators the opposition is backing

u.s. china trade conflict but stopped short of calling for a resolution. hundreds of people have been arrested at protests as kazakhstan holds a presidential election internet services in the central asian country have also reportedly been shut down the protesters are accusing authorities of running a sham vote it's the 1st time since independence nearly 30 years ago that the country's soviet era ruler will not be on the ballot and many had been calling for change but once again there's little doubt who the winner will be. the it was meant to be catholics down see miss transition to a real them. crissy but instead this. opposition protesters being rounded up in several cities during elections for the central asian countries 1st new president in almost 3 decades. there are
7:07 pm
7 candidates running to replace the longtime former leader by a half but only one is expected to come out on top. and picked successor interim president cassim have. a generation of catholics there's no no other leader of another by a half and many of them feel will do little to bring change to the former soviet country. one of them is opposition activists. who spoke to d.w. from almaty just shortly before he himself was arrested at a rally. i think it's quite clear that once you accept that there are rules of the street term actually come out oppose. it a way we expect. we're going to ask for their rallies to try to speak to to gather the people on the square to detroit really support.
7:08 pm
part quote i think we've called right now do you believe. critical tracks in there are t.v. personalities are not course want to start or to collaborate with their character you are a shrink you know what you can't sit back you can't really. give a shit controller to start iraq hearing. his past a client has brushed aside concerns about police crackdown some protesters saying his administration would build up a dialogue with those who support the government and those who are against the government. these images though will do little to persuade the opposition in kazakhstan that their voices will be had when their new leader takes up the reins of power there. joining me now from in kazakhstan is journalist reed standish read hundreds of protesters have been detained today what can you tell us about the situation. hi yeah the day was marked
7:09 pm
by these are the biggest protests the country's seen in 3 years people protesting meghann what they saw as a pre-determined vote something that was i've been unfair election process and there was protests across the country quite large the largest one on monsoon which is the financial hub down in the south and north of the capital where i. interior ministry said that around 500 people had been arrested by around the time polls closed today including several journalists who are out there before the protest. it's my understanding that the journalists are now released or most of them although i haven't confirmed all of that but many of the demonstrators are who are protesting peace peacefully are still in detention the police when i was out on the screen today you know they were very forceful you know wearing black mask squad and right here. they dragged many protesters to vans in boxes that were wager by
7:10 pm
loading them on their way to pay for them detained and i hauled off to jail so this is by far the most dramatic thing that we saw in terms of arrests the metol action process but it also fits with what had been kind of simmering under the surface in half of the build up to the post which also saw a pretty systemically crackdown on activists but i got the protesters dramatic and also emotional just based on the pictures that we've been seeing there but as you mention is that the biggest protests in kazakhstan for years tell me a little bit more of why specifically those protesters are there. sure yeah part of this is triggered by the resignation of now there by him you know he has been president for nearly 30 years and many people are ready for some kind of change that doesn't mean that they want radical change but you know they're frustrated with problems like corruption poor public services and
7:11 pm
a lack of economic opportunities and in general people want in government just to listen more to them and you know election where people are seeing this sort of very choreographed kind of blatantly choreographed succession process happening without the fire and to kind of you know it's sort of you know a catalyst to set things on you know of course it is it really remains to be seen how much of a challenge this can be to the system in the future. you know i think it's been the canary in the shell that there would have to stop it there thank you so much for joining us. it's day 3 of the women's world cup and joining me to talk about the action is oliver moody from d.w. sports all the today's match the 1st one was between australia and italy how did it go did it go as expected well i expected it to be a very tight game and i was certainly right on that count michel but i have to
7:12 pm
admit i was a little bit surprised by the outcome and that is because italy who are the underdogs going into this going produced an excellent display to beat a very talented australia side before say any more about it let's take a look at the highlights. australia were awarded an early penalty and a chance for a dream start captain samantha kirk responsibility sloughing her lines 1st before slotting home the rebound was a heavy touch and defend a clip poking home allowed italy's barbara been in syria a run i'm told in the 55th minutes. was was the striker staying cool to draw her side level. with the game willing to injury time italy won a free kick. and been in 0 was under it again to score and hand her side a dramatic late winner. the
7:13 pm
whistle went shortly after confirming that she won results by pitts a pill to swallow for duck courses australia. only a lot of people were expecting australia to challenge for the title so what went wrong against italy when they just didn't really seem to have that act together today one of those days for them you know even as we saw their goal came from a rebound from a missed penalty on the ball the shot especially their defense i thought was reported over there were over the place at the back italy actually could have scored more goals they had 2 goals ruled out. for offside but let's stop to give them some credit as well rather than just talking about a poor australia where you know it's really haven't been a world cup for 20 years now today they certainly look like they belong on the biggest stage we'll tell you who belong but was in there was marked at the stroke brazil shows no one anywhere on the pitch how did they fare without her they got on just fine which was kind of expected because they're playing newcomers to the world
7:14 pm
cup. they came out 3 no win is brazil in this one we can see some highlights from this as well christiane it was who was the heroine for them as she got the opening goal for brazil with the head. of the grunting finished in the far corner to give brazil the lead there she added a 2nd goal then with some excellent reactions on the back of the ball came 3 agonizing for just about played it off the line but not quite and just look at this one beauty of a free kick to make you know but let's not get so excited about brazil i think they will need mata back and in her best form if they're going to go along why at this tournament and certainly if they want to challenge for the title of the movie thanks so much. tennis and nadal has snatches record extending 12th french open title by beating dominant team of austria the spaniard known as the king of clay took the 1st set 63 team then battled back to win the 2nd set 75 but
