10:04 am
a dependence firmly in the spotlight on this legal soul. and i'm quite disappointed that i don't think. they will listen to people. they will still go ahead but 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 out but the protests as 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 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

10:06 am
no it will not have i'm sure because these human rights safeguards they need 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 none of these safeguards will ensure this people just do not trust this government those who are on the streets right images villain in hong kong thank you very much for that update on the protests from there. you know the look at some other stories making news around the world if you look at a special envoy to sudan says 30 s. leaders have agreed to resume talks with their country's military rulers the pine breakthrough comes days after protesters launched a campaign of civil disobedience this was in response to a deadly crackdown on demonstrators demanding civilian villany. uganda's health

of abuse. u.s. president donald trump is again threatened mexico with tariffs on imports should their cooperation on border issues feel this after the 2 countries agreed on a deal on friday including a commitment from mexico to do more to stop migrants crossing its southern border with guatemala but the deal has come under fire for lacking detail and for not including commitments to stem the flow of life once crossing into the u.s. meanwhile in the u.s. state of new mexico a group of armed militia men are taking matters into their own hands trying to stop people at the border civil liberties groups accuse the so-called volunteer patriots illegally detaining migrants and impersonating office says digital correspondent all of a sonnet spent 3 days with this militia and sent us this report from the border. militia. beginning his shift its mission to find illegal migrants.
10:09 am
every night he and his friends of the guardian patriots gather in the new mexican. border they have been described as writing. extremists but insist they are just trying to help the all sorted which was a contact me when he's coming in ok perfect this is carte blanche this is an open border and would border patrol being strained it's an unprotected border so we need to be here we need to back up the border patrol. a piece of wall has been built to control the influx of migrants but it's far from complete. this is where the wall suddenly ends and you can easily walk from mexican into american soil and this is just a very good example why militias think that they are needed to help secure the border critics however say that this should only be in the hands of the border patrol. or they come here all right we got to ok so i say here at nightfall the guardian
10:10 am
patriots are going up into action a group of migrants are just entering american soil and. we got more crossing after stopping the group the militia called border patrol for help some tried to escape some of the rio grande. right. up. militia member killed himself a son to an illegal migrant from mexico but he wants new arrivals to come to the u.s. illegally way. back in the day you have to pay for your education you have to take to speak english get to know the presidents you know yeah it's hard but that's a legal way to do it when they just do it legal this way it cost the taxpayer money more. but it's not just the migrants who might be breaking the law the militia has been accused of taking people into custody of gunpoint and illegal and if it's against their will. it's.
10:11 am

10:12 am
off has been released from police custody after officials dropped drug charges against him due to lack of evidence the circumstances of going to nobs arrest last week triggered to test and criticism even from some senior officials in media one general who generally support the government he told a crowd in moscow that he will now go back and carry on his back. off walked out of police custody a free man early tuesday evening he thanked supporters outside the interior ministry and vowed to continue his work exposing corruption. so it would be run for 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. one of the idea that you have those supporters have been protesting at the ministry since news of golan off the rest broke on friday one person pickets don't have to be authorized
10:13 am
in advance so protesters took turns holding signs calling for even calling off to be freed. 3 major newspapers also joined the protests he trying the same headline in monday's additions declaring i am we are given goal of must do as i did in the several prominent media personalities also criticizing the circumstances of golden mosque arrest. because of this the only might set up. 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
10:14 am
preparing to publish his latest reporting on russia's crime ridden funeral industry go enough the rest seems to have hit a nerve yes well just as. there is a demand for justice in society because this case is not just about you but 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 i did you know and you know why i'm going to know was suddenly set free on tuesday. well i think i read it was a bit of
10:15 am
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 that a drugs lab apartment later they that admitted that actually 8 of those photos were taken in governance apartment yesterday the interior minister announced that going of 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 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
10:16 am
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 that this should be followed by an investigation. and we should not let it go. but we should not let it go until lose guilty i found. this decision 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 drug related charges. well the interior minister here in russia has announced that that 2 senior police
10:17 am
officers will be investigated that he suggested that too bloody near putin but a mere 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 any regret this so bush public outrage it including among some senior officials as you mentioned who does have an infection how to 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
10:18 am
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 both 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
10:19 am
that no one can cross. in moscow thank you very much for that. now it's being seen as a major win for engine rights in africa botswana as high court has overturned a colonial era law criminalizing gay sex after the court said that should not regulate private acts between consenting adults and that penalizing people for their sexuality is disrespect for the course you're not rejecting yours that had previously offensive up to 7 years in prison it comes less than a month after kenya's high court upheld making homosexuality a crime. here in germany the country's health minister is backing legislation to ban conversion therapy 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 illegal. today bastiaan measure is open about
10:20 am
his homosexuality but getting to this point was agony 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 demons. 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
10:21 am
committee also says a ban is logical and legitimate after those minors that's why in my view there 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 is fighting for the acceptance of homosexuality and to keep others from going through what he did. or behind and don't forget you can always get video of the news on the go just download the app for the google play off of the app and still give you access to all the latest news from around the world as well as push notifications for any breaking news you can also use the data to send us photos and videos. the defending champions usa played their 1st game at the women's world cup last night fully a.b.s. is here to give us and that assists on that welcome bob no i really think safe to
10:22 am
say that the usa lived up to expectations i would say it's very safe to say this i'm read for many people the number 13 might be considered on looking before america or for the united states it was very lucky because they won their game 13 nailed that this was wrecked court 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 20 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 silence fans had every right to be concerned about the bruising hall followed before morgan made it 5 new to the usa in the 52nd minutes of a bit. and she completed her trick amid a flurry of usa goals to make it right now on the 74th minute. but she wasn't
10:23 am
done yet some excellent wing play from megan rapinoe gave morgan another golden chance in the 81st minute 10 millet'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 factory fairy i mean you think very sober almost and i should tell 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. so 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.
10:24 am
ok so what about. if you could do it in the boot of the game that's right now there were obviously there's more 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 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 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 the game resumed. in the sport in the 83rd minute and then model and then smashed home a stunning solo go 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
10:25 am
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 playing it 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 new zealand now on the other hand netherlands showed that sort of experience and the parent that they have. in the 92nd minute managed to score a goal once again painful for new zealand but a great result for the netherlands i will give them a little bit of the 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
10:26 am
england before the tournament started and might be able to wear duet a little bit better throughout this tournament and i don't know what the other favorites well i mean 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 to give any i don't you. know thank you very much for that analysis on. is it reek of the adult stories that you're following fields hong kong lawmakers have postponed debates about controversial extradition no amid new protests tens of thousands of demonstrators have blue which parts of the city do stand stated many businesses have joined in opposition to the plan medication which would allow extradition to mainland china. and russian investigative journalist yvonne go to north has been released from police detention russia's interior minister announced
