1:05 pm
such a course of criticism but i would not be surprised in the years to come if it was a new thing in a very broad and for konya 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. our correspondent yes bellinger is standing by for us in hong kong where he's covering the story for us hi mathias we see really huge crowds take to the streets opposition leaders say more than a 1000000 people turn out to protest but can these massive demonstrations really make a difference can this extradition bill still be stopped well if you listen to the hong kong government the answer is no carry lamb the chief executive. issued
1:06 pm
a statement today she's sad that she thanked all these people for expressing their opinion but she would not consider this opinion she would push ahead with her bill and she would not step down. this of course will most probably spark for the protests and more anger in the city that is you've been covering these protests and we did hear from authorities that there were clashes last night between police and these protesters what can you tell us about that. our own 12 o'clock when most protesters had left a group of students said that they would camp outside of the building you can see here behind me. the parliament the city's parliament until. wednesday that is when the bill is due to be discussed in let's go. and. then there are several world versions one version is that part of these people tried to storm the government headquarters which are just next to the parliament and were then
1:07 pm
dispersed by the police others say that when time according to the protest ended at 2359 at midnight the police dispersed the people who were gathering around and that erupted into clashes. it's both both things did happen it's hard to say which one was the 1st and then the clashes continued until you early morning our own 6 o'clock i think there was news that all everything out to be terminated around the streets around here much has been a reporting in hong kong for us thank you. now to some other stories making news around the world international observers say sunday's presidential election in kazakhstan was tarnished by human rights violations the electoral commission in the country says that the winner of the vote is custom jomar took the hand picked successor of former president nursultan nazarbayev the election was overshadowed by the arrest of hundreds of opposition protesters. and indian cortez convicted 6

hindu men for involvement in the rape and murder of an 8 year old muslim girl last year the girl's death sparked outrage inflamed religious tensions in indian controlled kashmir india has a dire record for violence against women and girls prosecutors are seeking the death penalty iran's foreign minister says his country will work with the european union signatories of the 2015 nuclear deal to save it those words came after talks with the german foreign minister heikal mosques in tehran and iran's foreign minister mohammad javad zarif said the discussions had been frank and serious it looks like progress for mohsen what's being called a delicate mission let's go to tehran and a correspondent for the news agency a.f.p. joins us hi i'm aware that the talks between mosques and a job that sorry seems to have seem to have had some success what do you make of the words that we've heard coming from them today. hello and thanks for having me
1:09 pm
well the 1st thing i felt was that if you saw the pros think the thing to be going that's great thing to be a little tension between the 2 men. and the 1st question was came about israel and the lack of the difference between the 2 major the even more significant because coming from the words that they say during the press it does not seem there's a. clear result you could say iran still said what it is expected from the european union to have germany was not exactly able to give a. clear understanding of what has been called off if they didn't mention in strike again one that is old news that it's been more than a year and nothing has happened so i mean from iran's perspective what is iran looking for what does it need to see from germany and europe to save the scale.
1:10 pm
although i do want to show us just what is wrong with being able to sell this oil and it's being able to have a banking relations without the u.s. interference with that would be that is definitely ideal and i think very hard to have and that seems rather you could say close to impossible for europe to make happen because of the close financial relations and dependence they have on the u.s. market so one is expecting europe to step in and be able to live on this commitment to the nuclear deal but it seems very unlikely that europeans would actually be able to do that especially if they are trying in other requirements or talks or just talking about iran's missile program or its regional policies which iran really emphasize again today that that is going to be part of any negotiations or what any talks all right i mean i have asked a correspondent for the a.f.p. news agency in tehran thank you so much for joining us. now the deal was struck in
1:11 pm
2015 between iran france germany britain russia china and the us it was meant to restrict iran's ability to make nuclear weapons in exchange for relief from economic sanctions but since donald trump pulled the u.s. out of the deal there's been rising tension between washington and tehran. the iran nuclear deal requires tarantella limit its atomic enrichment in verifiable ways so that it cannot make weapons and requires it to submit to international inspections in return tehran is supposed to get relief from sanctions and gain access to frozen assets but the u.s. has pulled out unilaterally and really imposed sanctions president obama made a deal the iran nuclear deal which was a terrible deal because it was a short term deal didn't do the trick and i was very much against it i was very much against the deal i terminated the deal and iran is a much different country today the u.s.
1:12 pm
has also sent additional warships to the middle east as part of a pressure campaign that some fear risks escalating into open conflict the other signatories to the nuclear deal insist they can still make it work. french president emanuel mccraw has tried to project unity from the european side while accommodating washington releasing this introduces an addictive why do we need to do 1st you want to be sure they don't get you know with meanwhile the re imposed economic sanctions have hit the iranian economy hard khwaja it as the employment situation is a catastrophe those who have a store has to close it and look for another job those who have studied need to look for a job but where where are they going to work. the broader danger should iran break completely from the agreement is that a new nuclear arms race will take place the u.s. recently announced it wants to renegotiate with iran but tehran says the u.s. has not shown good faith. whenever they stop cruelty against
1:13 pm
a nation that put aside the cruel sanctions fulfill their commitments and return to the negotiating table which they themselves left the road is not closed for them. the road is open how about. syria but as president trump has made clear over the past year the u.s. is unlikely to agree to any of that and trust among the parties is in short supply . let's bring in our political correspondent simon young for some analysis on this story hi simon we heard there trust is in short supply this is a difficult delicate mission for the german foreign minister can he really ease tensions with iran here is it is really difficult he's going to see tehran with this message that you know there's still a bit of room for diplomacy that dialogue can work and asking them to stay with the iran nuclear deal but it doesn't really look as if he's had
1:14 pm
a lot of success in the press conference after his meeting with the iranian minister of foreign minister zarif the iranian said well you know the u.s. cannot expect to stay safe after launching an economic war and they also said to have a starts a war with us will not be the one who finishes it so pretty tough language there and worrying language given the fact that the united states has ramped up its military posture in the region with an aircraft carrier and heavy bombers there and it's got its tough sanctions in place as well as well so it's not clear what the german foreign minister can do other than keep talking and yet come again we've heard from germany from the european union that they are committed to saving this nuclear deal despite the u.s. pulling out what is at stake here what happens if it unravels. i think if it unravels in the international community are we looking for another way of solving the a split given the list tough rhetoric that would be
1:15 pm
a very worrying situation the security implications are serious for not just for iran but for the whole region of course iran is involved in the conflict in yemen and also the situation in syria and so on so you know who knows what they might do if they're sort of unleashed in this way there are also economic implications here as well germany all the european countries would like to be able to trade with iran . on. and of course u.s. sanctions maine the moment they're not doing not able to do that they're trying to set up payments scheme a banking sort of work around to allow them to allow european companies to trade there but it's not really clear if that can actually ultimately be successful all right our political correspondent simon young with us thank you simon. now sudan's military has used care gas to break up protests in the capital khartoum one report
1:16 pm
says 4 people were killed in the process the government was responding to a general strike organized by groups supporting democracy and opposed to military rule that the strike has left shops closed and streets desert. sudan's security forces patrolled the capital i mean to contain opposition protests have been stopping demonstrators from setting up makeshift roadblocks which are intended in part to slow soldiers down the opposition is responding to the military crackdown just days ago that left dozens dead. despite the dangers the protesters are pushing on. our demands have to be accepted completely. we don't want people who are not capable military personnel of ruling us because we have experience with military rulers. i say that i scare you. the opposition calls its latest moves a campaign of civil disobedience it includes
1:17 pm
a general strike that began on sunday with many workers staying at home streets were left deserted with most stores and the stablish ment's shuttered my with the situation isn't normal everything's closed i couldn't find bread i couldn't find anything actually except for these vegetables here life is at a standstill. sudan's military council indicated sunday it could be willing to restart negotiations with the opposition meanwhile protest leaders. telling people to stay home from work until a civilian government is established. turkey has started flooding a dam on the tigre us river today despite criticism from a local community that is directly affected the town and south southeast turkey was one of the 1st places that human settled along the tigris river the filling of the it was completely submerged the ancient town and its historic ruins thousands of people have been uprooted to
1:18 pm
a newly built town to make way for the dead. that are who used to tend to the garden off the small guest house every day people who stayed here could enjoy his home grown fruits and vegetables he always felt he would lose more than his guest house with the construction of the dam. they don't think about how they will be changing our lives and our cultural heritage but that's what concerns us most losing our culture that's why we have freedom of the world continues across with my fellow. guest houses in the ancient town office and kids over 12000 years ago it was one of the 1st human settlements on the banks of the river. the elusive dam is about 60 kilometers south east of here planned as early as 1950 s. the dams purpose is to produce hydro electric power but from the beginning there was opposition to the project local residents like more to take in try to have it
1:19 pm
stops. them and always say yes that would generate electricity. only of what could be gained by flipping a place like this. this dam will produce just one percent of the energy that turkey needs. about 50000 people will lose their homes to the dam most have been resettled in a new town along with some of the historical monuments. to secure his livelihood phaedrus are gone bought a part of land for a new hotel in the new town. i'm going to take up everything here and take the soil with me or that's the only way anything will grow here it's like container gardening for her here because i can. shop owners in the old town center also have to start from scratch as an keefe was a popular day trip destination for tourists. merchants like more that are here and
1:20 pm
now worry about how they'll earn a living. all of it as they paid is far too little compensation they tell us we can buy new shops in the new town and pay them off in installments but how there's no work for is that what i live in. an old arabic poem from the region say's these treasures show that we have existed if they are lost the memory of the creators will also disappear as an keeps residents fear that this age old saying could prove true. lewis hamilton has consolidated his lead at the top of the drivers world championship after a controversial win at the canadian grand prix the englishman was 2nd to the checkered flag but he got a boost from race marshals after having a near miss with german sebastian vettel. the 50th canadian grown prematch 2 of the
1:21 pm
modern monsters side by side at the front of the grid england's 5 time world champion lewis hamilton and germany's 4 time world champs the best invented starting from pole in a much improved ferrari the rivals would hold that formation through the early parts of a hotly contested race before the decisive moment unfolded on lap 48 when the englishman was finally applying sustained pressure to the race leader vettel on to breaking. the german overshot a chicane and took a detour through the grass on reviewing the incident bryce marshall's deemed that the formal world champ should have allowed the englishman to pass vettel was hit with a 5 2nd time penalty that meant that hamilton said his driver was the rice winner despite getting to the chicken flag 2nd the decision sealed a 5th race win of the season for the reigning champion.
1:22 pm
actually it is not the way absolutely not the way i wanted to when i was pushing to the end to trying it must. force him into an error the german stage his own unofficial pitch protest held no grudge. i think i said enough you should ask the people what they think you know i think we had a great show. it was such a good respect so yeah us the people hamilton will take a 63 point lead of the fatal to the next rice south of france. great day 3 of the women's world cup and france is done and the public fully have these forces been following all the action for us i see me so australia took on italy yesterday a surprise is there well 1st and foremost the result because it was a huge shock for a strike and yet now everybody thought that they'd ease through this match against italy considering that they have many great players including superstar striker sam courier but it wasn't to be before given. way any more details is probably better
1:23 pm
that we take a look at this report. straight you were awarded an early penalty and a chance for a dream start captain samantha kurtz of responsibility fluffing her lines 1st before slotting home the rebound was a heavy touch from defending clint poking home allowed italy's budget i've been in syria a run i'm told in the 55th minute i was the striker staying cool to draw her side level. with the game well into injury time it's really one of free kick. i've been in see i was under it's again to score and hand her side a dramatic late winner. the whistle went shortly after confirming the true one result bits of pill to swallow for duck courses australia thanks. but what went wrong there for australia where
1:24 pm
was more like what went right for if the sydney to be honest it was let's not forget that italy in the women's game hasn't been a successful as the men will say over the past couple of decades in fact they haven't even qualified for a world cup in 20 years so the fact that they're even there you know is wonderful news for them and their coach betadine said that the reason why they did so well was because of the team spirit that really made a difference in the 2nd half in particular but there was so much drama in this game let's not forget as well that they actually took the lead twice but twice the v.a.r. denied italy that lead and it came in that 95th minute so high drama there and what's happened in italy is that the game is really exploded in recent years and you know it's a big footballing country but it's taken a while for real. to take off in the women's game but we're really seeing this and
1:25 pm
it's going to be a great boost for the squad and they have you know great players among their ranks but also panic stations in australia because they weren't expecting this result whatsoever all right the other mass a lot of people walking watching yesterday was beating scotland was that an easy one it certainly wasn't done in fact there's been a lot of criticism towards the england team and in particular phil neville he's the coach. it's been said that they looked quite sloppy that they you know sort of what we saw with the italy side in the 2nd half which was what they they work together now if we take a look here at the game itself. as we just gave england a chance to score from the penalty shot which they did to pirates converted to make it one nil and then the linus's double their lead before half time when alan white highlights on a loose ball in the box and showed she's got a certain got to go to for a goal scotland pulled
1:26 pm
a goal back through terror emsley in the 79th minute. intel drive to confirm their victory in what i will say you. should be for england really are lacking a little bit of unity in their squad and really need to improve let's not forget this is a team that finished 3rd in the last world cup all right oh public folio from the debt you sports with us in our studio thank you very much thanks for. let's get a recap now of our top story that we're following for you here on d.w. hong kong leader kerry lamb is pushing ahead with legislation that fuel the territory's biggest protests and decades critics say beijing will use a proposed extradition law to target political opponents are protests against the law turns violent. don't forget you can always get out of your news on the go download our app from google play or from the app store and that will give you access to all the latest news from around the world as well as push notifications
