june 20th. joining me now from hong kong is a chorus line and much is the linga look yes you've been out but the protests just most of the night now we know that the bill debate has been delayed is this a victory for the protest has. well it is a small victory but it does not mean that the government has reconsidered its strategy at least not publicly it's just that many legislators seem not to have been able to enter the ledge co building the legislative council so they could not start the debate. it shows how determined the protesters are but it does not show that the government is caving in. so what is the situation like on the streets today you've been talking to people there who are the people who up are testing.
8:06 am

8:11 am
concerns many citizens who could end up in the same situation it is no secret that police often break the law in situations like this. in a turnaround it's those law enforcement agencies that are now coming under scrutiny the interior ministry has opened an investigation into the officers who arrested called enough and they've asked president putin to fire 2 senior moscow police officials. and for more let me join emily shilling and you. and you know why good to know was suddenly 53 on tuesday. well i think i'm right it was a bit of a mix on the on the one hand you have the fact that the evidence from the beginning was rather shaky to say the least. we just heard that police published 9 photos that apparently showed some some something like
8:12 am
a drugs lab in go in off the apartment later they that admitted that actually 8 of those photos were taken in the parliament yesterday the interior minister announced that d.n.a. had actually not been found on the drugs packets so that's all rather pop problematic and then there was also the huge public pressure surrounding the case including the protests including the media solidarity and actually also high ranking politicians were coming out in the past few days including the speaker of the upper house of of parliament my to be anchor who said that this case was problematic and that it could have been a set up so all that amounted to huge public pressure and a difficult and rather shaky case as we now found out against going off and of course is released was met with great relief by his supporters let's take a listen to what some of his supporters had to say. this should be followed by an
8:13 am
investigation. and we should not let it go. we should not let it go until lose guilty a found. everything is happening very fast and to be honest i do not understand what the reason is for this but this is a good tendency i think it gives hope i think people should not stop here they would demand all of the guilty to be punished because justice should be served. so any we did be an investigation into this case and these this apparent attempt to set him up on drugs related charges. well the interior minister here and russia has announced that that 2 senior police officers will be investigated that he suggested that too bloody near putin but here putin yesterday said that he would he would look into that and the 2 police
8:14 am
officers who were arrested going off are also going to be investigated the interior minister also said that federal federal authours he is to independently assess whether the way the police acted in connection with gonaives case was actually legal it's hard to know at the moment whether they'll be a wider investigation into this case in any squadron that is so bush public outrage it including among some senior officials as you mentioned could this have an impact of how to russian government deals with such cases in the future. well i think it could emirates we're already seeing that it could have an impact yesterday the russian parliament and nouns that they plan to look into and discuss drugs laws existing drugs laws here in russia including when it comes to drug possession at the moment it's actually rather easy and it often happens that the
8:15 am
drugs are planted on someone who is rather inconvenient so if someone wants to get rid of someone else they simply plant a bag of drugs on them and that can mean that that person is then put away for up to 20 years so perhaps the parliament will look into changing legislation surrounding that to make that kind of thing more difficult and i think the other impact that this case has had is really on the civil society here in russia there has been huge media solidarity across the board including from state media outlets who usually support the government and who usually wouldn't come out in favor of critical figures like. we saw these protests as well so i think this russia will society has really shown now that they have red lines and that there are red lines that no one can cross. in moscow thank you very much for that. you're watching the news coming up ahead booths one.

through what he did. the defending champions usa played their 1st game at the women's world cup last night. is here to give us and that assists on that welcome. safe to say that the u.s. it lived up to expectations i would say it's very safe to say this armory now for many people the number 13 might be considered on looking for america or for the united states it was very lucky because they won their game 13 nil now this was a record obviously you know so many goals nobody expects that but before we kind of we think it's best with these kind of games where you really want to see some action right let's take a look at the report. when star striker alex morgan noted u.s. saints the lead off to just 12 minutes thailand fans had every right to be concerned by a bruising haul followed before morgan made it 5 new to the usa in the 52nd minutes
8:22 am
of a bit. and she completed her hat trick amid a flurry of usa goals to make it by now on the 70 fulfillment. but she wasn't done yet some excellent wing play from megan rapinoe gave morgan and now the golden chance in the 81st minute 10 mil it's time and she bagged a 5th in the 87th the team's 12th and 13th would follow soon after. the final whistle morgan was the 1st to console the broken opposition a stunning display of ability and sportsmanship from one of women's football's biggest names. now as our colleague and the cambridge set their sportsmanship are so nice to see of course 13 now that would be faffing fairy i mean you feel very sore almost and i should go you being. you know it was very nice
8:23 am
to see you know alex morgan the striker go up and sort of console the team and i mean i don't know how i felt but i'm sure they didn't feel too good but as i said an incredible result there for at the united states after getting emphatic win is one be a footing injecting ok so what about. the weather took a toll in the groups other games that's right now there were obviously there's more matches now to talk about berlin had a fairly wild storm overnight for those of us who live here in berlin and it seems that over in france as well there was a bit of an issue with the weather too and it's not often that we see a football game being at the postponed because of the weather and sweden they took on chile in group f. and that's take a look here we're just seeing the referee cold well just delayed the match in the 70th minute no goals. at that point she ordered all the players off the pitch and then sweden took a late lead once the game resumed. in the sport in the
8:24 am
83rd minute and then madeline smashed home a stunning solo goal just seeing it there to seal a 2 no wind for sweden so really great result for them and it looked like you know that weather didn't impact sweden too much good result but it is always interesting to see when you see you know players being taken off the pitch because of some heavy right now particularly if you're an irishman and so used to heavy downpours you know great result as i said for st nick and you can really good football you know one of the favorites the netherlands play it how did they do they didn't do as well as many people expected in their match against new zealand the news even these are a team who have actually never won a game in 5 attempts at the world cup so things didn't go their way again but they were very unlucky they did look pretty decent new zealand now on the other hand netherlands showed that sort of experience and the power of that they have. in the 92nd man ever managed to score a goal once again painful for a new zealand but
8:25 am
a great result for the netherlands i will give them a little bit of a boost considering that they didn't perform as well as many people expected so they're still definitely one of the favorites am i maybe in new zealand who were feeling a little bit pumped going into the tournament because they actually managed to beat england before the tournament started and might be able to do a little bit better throughout this tournament and i do of the other favorites well you know if you're a bit biased i think look at united states and the netherlands 2 are among those on going to keep an eye on spain because of course i. want to see them do well and germany to win the i dare you. thank you very much for that analysis. up. ok canada has passed a bill making it illegal to keep dolphins and other whales in captivity referred to as the free willy bill the legislation outlaws captive breeding and the import or
