justice system today's march is said to have been one of the largest in hong kong's history. for more on this i'm joined now by a glacier from the hong kong digital activism group keyboard frontline and student body chang who has organized rallies against this bill here in berlin glacier let's start with you you've been in contact with people in hong kong today who took part in the protest what did they tell you they told me that the situation it's not really good in hong kong the conflicts are still ongoing around 50 to 100 people are now surrounded by police and the district and want and they're now being sent to various police station and throughout the day there have been filing conflicts between the police and the protesters while the police are using. file and so again unarmed protesters they use but tons tear gas and pepper spray and there are photos that have shown that they are having guns and they're carrying guns for. using against a protester be pursued is this deterring the protesters though or are they planning

to to keep fighting for this bill to not go through i think some of them are deterred but many of them are being triggered by the use of force and they are actually more angry and because already a 1000000 people have been on the streets but still the government have ignored it and said they were reviewing the 2nd reading of the bill anyways and people are mainly triggered saying that if a peaceful protest would not work they would they would have to be forced to use force against or more violent protest against the bill what's what's to be expected then i am not sure currently many around 50 to 70 people are being arrested and lawyers on the way to the police station to try to help them with their legal issues but we're not sure what will happen within today but we have heard that there are rumors of people organizing strikes on the 12th of june we're not sure it will really happen yet. organized a rally today in berlin against. this bill why do you feel so strongly about it

because like i'm living in the really free country like germany but what what i see in my home country what's happening and i feel like i'm a foreigner i listen here like the responsibility to bring this on the national level that's why i'm doing this really how is the response been here and germany so it's quite good actually is like 200 people show up and mostly like they are from home call and also the germans as well who show up in the rally. later on called leaders have said this bill would not lead to the extradition of dissidents and critics of the chinese government but people obviously don't believe them why is that i think that just because obviously china it's a country without rule of law with a fair trial and within their targets record of human rights violation it is hard to believe that any individuals regardless of their nationality once being extradited back to china would be able to receive treatment that is of enough

respect for human rights and they are not going to face a fair trial it is very dangerous even in hong kong we are losing our faith in the judicial system look at the recent 2 refugees from hong kong and now in germany re walk and work out when we can see that we have already lost a lot of faith no judicial system let alone the chinese one. bonnie if this bill goes through do you think this will change the way you view your country or the x. community living outside of hong kong how they view their time i think it will be a really hard decision to go back because like then they will be way more dangerous to go back because like all freedom of speech is. affected thank you very much bonnie chang student living in berlin and glacier of activists living in hamburg thank you very much. to kazakhstan now where interim president causing young aren't high and has won the presidential election exit polls give the incumbent around 70

percent of the vote election day in the country was marred by the arrest of hundreds of peaceful protesters thank you the harmonies of running a sham vote to cry and was handpicked by a long time former leader known full time not far by and his opponents fear he will do little to bring change to the former soviet country. earlier we spoke with journalist marie standish and kazakhstan capital nursultan about the situation in the country the day was marked by these are the biggest protests the country seen a 3 year people protesting my guess what they saw as a pre-determined vote something that was i've been unfair election process and there was protests across the country a quite large the largest were in on monday with 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 were out there before the protest. it's my understanding that the journalists are now released or most of them although i haven't confirmed that but many of the demonstrators who are protesting peace peacefully are still in detention the police when i was out on the square today you know they're very forceful you know wearing black mask squad right here they drag many protesters to vent in buses that where we are by loading them on their way with them detained and called off to jail so this is by far the most dramatic thing on terms of arrest the midterm election process but it also fits with what had been kind of simmering under the surface attached to the buildup to the post which also saw a pretty systemic crackdown on activists and other protesters. let's now take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world thousands of people have crossed into colombia after venezuelan president nicolas maduro opened
