9:02 am
critics say that would give beijing free rein to pursue political opponents in hong kong which has kept its own justice system after returning to chinese rule in 1997 . the territory's probation leader has vowed to press on with the bill saying it's crucial for hong kong's future this is a very important piece of legislation that will have to uphold just as and also ensure that hong kong will fulfill the international obligation in terms of cost boundary and transnational crimes. well the organizers of the protest say as many as a 1000000 people took to the streets on sunday they had hoped such an immense show of rejection would force the territories government to shelve the bill but has been building a met some of the organizers who have different ideas. pro-democracy organizations have been preparing for this demonstration for weeks christopher among is leader of

9:05 am
a new thing in a very broad and for conan way and that is what worries of the journalist and many other factors in hong kong. as protesters gathered on sunday it quickly became clear their hopes for a large turnout had been met. if organizers estimates that they numbered a 1000000 are correct it would be the biggest demonstration here for 30 years. and joining us from hong kong is tom grundy editor in chief of hong kong free press who we just saw in that report. the chief executive there in hong kong carrie lee she shares that the government will not withdraw the bill can this bill still be stopped well you would think in any of the city a 1000000 man march would or trigger some concessions from the government if that figure is correct that's 14 percent of the population but as we just saw you know
9:06 am
in the last hour or 2 chief executive carol lam who protesters were asking to stand has basically stood firm and said that there would be no further concessions someone made earlier for the business community over certain white collar crimes. but it seems that this bill will arrive at the main legislative chamber on wednesday just after a q. and a with. and it could be a matter of weeks as this is a push through. an accelerated process through the legislature ahead of of of the the summer break. what can you tell us about the clashes between police and protesters overnight apparently those protests turned violent. you know we have front line reporters down there of the night as the police permits expire they move quickly to clear protesters around the rear of the ledge the church and the government headquarters some quite heavy scenes and pepper spray was deployed as

9:08 am
business groups even lawyers journalists and judges speak out on. some sectors who wouldn't normally speak out or aren't shouldn't or aren't really allowed to have been condemning this but many see this is simply the latest incursion. of china into on kong and it's unclear if there's going to be any concessions at this point. thank you very much tom grundy there of hong kong free press. now let's catch up on some of the other stories making headlines around the world a polling crane has killed one person and injured several others in the u.s. city of dallas a crane collapsed into an apartment building during a storm crews searching the building found the body of a woman 6 other people were taken to hospital. authorities in kazakhstan say.

9:11 am
mr there well joining us now in studio is our political correspondent simon young simon what's the current state of play here what is the status of the iran nuclear deal without the us on board what is in a polish state because as you say the us pulled down 2 year ago they believe the deal doesn't work and the thing to do is to ramp up sanctions as they've done they've also increased their military posts just putting an aircraft carriers in heavy bombers and all the military assets into the region so it's a serious situation iran on its side is threatening to pull out of the deal rather they've set a deadline of early july full european the european partners to the deal to as they say normalize economic relations with iran. that's quite difficult to do efforts are only going analysts say you know that otherwise the
9:12 am
consequences that iran says it could impose if that doesn't happen could mean really still wanting then nuclear program of course that's exactly what western countries want to avoid being in western countries what is the german foreign minister want to achieve on his current visit what's at stake for germany and the other signatories are trying to keep the deal going. well the german foreign minister said what he's trying to do is promote dialogue and deescalation so he's just trying to keep the talking going and keep the iranians in play and he said that as you heard him say they have the idea of less for less is not acceptable in other words a new iranian effort so watered down the the deal would to down their commitments in return for a lesser commitment on on the other side that's not going to work for him. he said both sides are going to keep their promises and what the europeans have got to do is implement this instinct payment system which is
9:13 am
a way for european countries german companies that want to do business in iran to avoid the threat of u.s. sanctions on their side he said it's a difficult system to set up that have been done before and of course the problem is that european companies may still worry that the more important trade if they have some with the u.s. may be affected they may face sanctions if they do business with iran so that's what all this is about he's there to keep the talking going. simon thank you so much political correspondent sannio. iran has been under sanctions for years there were international sanctions before the 2015 nuclear deal and there are u.s. asians the economy is suffering and people are finding the sanctions increasingly irksome here's more. a wealthy area in northern tehran it's known for its chic betakes and modern fashion but even here the stores aren't doing well economic
