champions of rivals with a bang at the well top of the jimmy range goes to the american to defend the interests with a good team going mocked up. homecoming lawmakers have delayed a 2nd round of debate on a controversial extradition law after tens of thousands of protests to sit around the city's government had cortez demonstrators have been voicing outrage over the bill which would allow hong kong to extradite people to mainland china and this is such a move would allow beijing to pursue political opponents in hong kong the territories legislative council had been sacked to begin afresh and of debate on the bill today
9:02 am
with an eye to final passage later this month. that's a tease rallies come after mass protests on sunday that saw hundreds of thousands take to the streets against the law many people kept vigil through the night outside the legislative council as lawmakers were getting set to bring up the law again for consideration. before today's demonstrations got underway protesters had been pouring on the pressure overnight. camped out near the legislative council. they wanted to make sure their outrage over the territories contentious extradition law could be heard loud and clear. these were the scenes on sunday when hundreds of thousands rallied against the law the legislation would permit hong kong to send people to mainland china to face
9:03 am
trial critics warned that would allow beijing to target political opponents in hong kong which retained its own justice system after being returned to china from british move in 1970 despite the outrage the territories chief executive is promising to push forward with a law. this bill is known initiated by the central people still. i know that i have not received any instruction on mending from beijing to do this because . we were doing it in the us to doing it out of kiev punches and out commitments along. with the legislative council dominated by beijing loyalists few protesters actually expect the law to be scrapped but they're hoping mass protests will keep the potential erosion of hong kong as a dependence firmly in the spotlight on this legal soul. i'm quite disappointed that i don't think. they will listen to people. they will still go ahead but
9:04 am
i think they will pay for. a final vote on the bill is expected on june 20th. joining me now from hong kong is a chorus line and much is the linga legis you've been up with the protests just most of the night now we know that the bill debate has been delayed is this a victory for the protest says. 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 lead scope 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. to what the situation is like on the streets today you've been talking to people there who are the people who are protesting.
9:05 am
today we see mainly young people some of them have been on the streets since in 2014 the umbrella protests against the election law some of very young some have never been out before unlike on sunday where we saw families the whole a society here we see the angry youth of hong kong coming out and the situation is quite tense people are quite angry with you hear them shouting until now nothing has happened it's peaceful but the tension is in the air. and the kellys chief executive who we saw one out of court carry law says the government is always at the bill and put in a human rights god's will that. no it will not have i am sure because these human rights safeguards they mean
9:06 am
additional controls by commissions of the hong kong government that is dependent on beijing people here want to exclude the possibility that somebody will be. sent to china for trial and none of these safeguards will ensure these people just do not trust this government those who are on the streets. right in what is bill in the in hong kong thank you very much applaud that update on the protests rhonda. let me bring you out today for some of the stories making news around the world is special envoy to sudan says to test leaders have agreed to resume talks with their country's military the pound breakthrough comes days after protesters launched a campaign of civil disobedience this is in response to a deadly crackdown on demonstrators demanding civilian rule in. uganda has confirmed its 1st case of during the current outbreak of fiber to a child who is receiving care after arriving from congo the epidemic began last

9:08 am
a circumstances offer good enough their arrest last week triggered protests and criticism even from some senior officials and media who generally support the government he told a crowd in moscow that he will now go back and carry on with his back. half walked out of police custody a free man early tuesday evening in fact supporters outside the interior ministry to continue his work exposing corruption. that would be everything is fine i still need a bit to gather my wits i don't have to work very hard now to show that your faith in me is justified thank you for that. you are. going to. have those supporters had been protesting at the ministry since news of golan off the rest broke on friday one person pickets don't have to be authorized in advance so protesters took turns holding signs calling for even calling off to be freed.
9:09 am
3 major newspapers also joined the protests each running the same headline in monday's additions declaring i am we are. almost because i didn't know several prominent media personalities also criticizing the circumstances of golan heights arrest. because of this the only thing might set. in court on saturday golan off insisted he was innocent and that the police planted the drugs on him his lawyers said the fingerprints weren't on any of the items police seized and that go enough had been beaten in custody and denied a lawyer for more than 12 hours. police released several photos that seem to show a drugs lab at colin office home they later admitted only one of those photos was actually taken at the journalists apartment. go enough is well known for exposing corruption medusa to the left you have based news website he works for was preparing to publish his latest reporting on russia's crime ridden funeral industry
9:10 am
go enough the rest seems to have hit a nerve yes well just as a political speech there is a demand for justice in society because this case is not just about. it 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's show when as you. and each of you know why good to know was suddenly set free 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
9:11 am
was rather shaky to say the least. we just heard that police published 9 photos that apparently showed some some something like a drugs. apartment later they that admitted that actually 8 of those photos were taken in governance apartment yesterday the interior minister announced that d.n.a. had actually not been found on the drugs packets so that's all rather paul 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 parliament valentino much bianco 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 israelis was met with great relief by his supporters let's take
9:12 am
a listen to what some of his supporters had to say that. this should be followed by an investigation. and we should not let it go. but we should not let it go until those guilty found but. 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 will there be an investigation into this case and these this apparent attempt to set him up on drugs related charges. well the interior minister here in russia has announced that that 2 senior police officers will be investigated that he suggested that too bloody near putin but emir
9:13 am
putin yesterday said that he would he would look into that and the 2 police officers who were arrested going off are also going to be investigated the interior minister also said that federal you would ask federal authours to independently assess whether the way the police acted in connection with going off case was actually legal it's hard to know at the moment whether they'll be a wider investigation into this case in many ways quite grand at this so bush public outrage it including among some senior officials as you mentioned could this have an infection found the russian government deals with such cases in the future . well i think it could we're already seeing that it could have an impact yesterday the russian parliament announced that they planned to look into and discuss drugs laws existing drugs laws here in russia including
9:14 am
when it comes to drug possession at the moment it's actually rather easy and it often happens that the 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 says 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.

a colonial era criminalizing gay sex the court said the north should not regulate private tax between consenting adults and that penalizing people for their sexuality is disrespect for the cause unanimously rejected laws that had previously carried a sentence of up to 7 years in prison it comes in a month after kenya has high court upheld making homosexuality a crime. here in germany the country's health minister is backing legislation to ban conversion therapy and that's the treatments aimed at changing the sexual orientation of gays and lesbians some in germany who have undergone conversion therapy working to make the practice. today bastiaan measure is open about his homosexuality but getting to this point. as a devout christian being gay seemed like a sin discussion groups and so-called conversion therapy were meant to heal him but dr even tried to drive out his demands. after he saw

a big black form coming out of my back and that this was supposed to be a really big evil demon that was causing my homosexuality. germany's health minister wants to stop such methods and ban gay conversion therapy he has the support of doctors and lawyers boston moshe also sat on the committee the expert's opinion is clear. on all the relevant major medical experts associations have clearly stated that homosexuality is neither a disease nor a disorder that's why from a medical or psychotherapeutic standpoint there's no need whatsoever for treatment . given the considerable psychological stress conversion therapy causes the committee also says a ban is logical and legitimate ofter is also mine that's why in my view the needs to be a strong signal from the state and also from lawmakers in order to protect homosexuals from performers jazzing discrimination stigmatism and suffering. bust and measure
9:21 am
is fighting for the acceptance of homosexuality and to keep others from going through what he did. the defending champions usa played their 1st game at the women's world cup last night pablo foley alias is here to give us and that says on that welcome i am really safe to say that the u.s. it lived up to expectations i would say it's very safe to say visit. 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 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 want to see some action right let's take a look at the report. when star striker alex morgan noted us saints the lead off to
9:22 am
just 12 minutes thailand fans had every right to be concerned about the bruising haul followed before morgan made it 5 new to the usa in the 52nd minutes of a bit. and she completed her hat trick amid a flurry of usa goals to make it by now on this 74 minutes. but she wasn't done yet some excellent wing play from megan rapinoe gave morgan another golden chance in the 81st minute 10 billie's time. and she bagged a 5th in the 87th the team's 12th and 13th would follow soon enough to. 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 mccambridge said their sportsmanship was so nice to see of course 13 now that would be faffing fairy i
9:23 am
mean you feel very sober almost and i should go you being. you know it was very nice to see you know alex morgan the striker go up and sort of console the team and i mean i don't know how they felt but i'm sure they didn't feel too good but as i said an incredible result there for at the united states to get him back when is one be a footing it's injecting ok so what about. the weather to go to in the groups other game 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 at the nets take a look here we're just seeing the referee cold well just delayed the match in the 70th minute no go. point she ordered all the players to pitch and then sweden took
9:24 am
the game resumed kosovo in the sport in the 83rd minute and then. smashed home a stunning solo goal just seeing it there to seal a 2 no win 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 sweden and you can really good football you know one of the favorites the netherlands play you know how did they do they didn't do as well as many people expected in their match against new zealand the new zealand's 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 that's new zealand now on the other hand netherlands showed that sort of experience and the parent that they have. in
9:25 am
the 92nd man ever managed to score a goal once again painful for a new zealand but 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 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 wear duet a little bit better throughout this tournament right and one 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 in germany too. thank you very much for that analysis. up. the canada has passed a bill making it illegal to give dolphins orcas and other whales in captivity
