indeed. lindstrom. our 2 point. starts june 21st on t w. this is day that you do is live from berlin a tense standoff on the streets of hong kong as darkness falls police again fire tear gas at protesters many are injured the authorities accuse them of rioting but demonstrators say they are defending the territory freedom by opposite opposing an unjust law. also coming up russian police arrest $406.00 workers of the

investigative journalist event alone they say he was framed and he was released in a rare you turned prosecutors admitted that there was no evidence that he dealt drugs plus in soccer the reigning champion start off with a bang at the women's world cup it braved the goals for the americans they set the tournaments into a spin the 13 gold master classes. i'm sumi so much going to thank you for joining us. police in hong kong a fire tear gas at protesters trying to stop a controversial proposed law that would allow extradition to mainland china now the city's legislative council has postponed a plan to bait on the law after crowds blocked access to government buildings hong kong officials have ordered the demonstrators to disperse but they say they're defending the territories free. from peaceful protest to violent chaos

umbrellas become shields and weapons as demonstrators tried to fend off rubber bullets and tear gas fired by the police but tens of thousands of people came out to rally again today and protest against hong kong's controversial extradition bill a quiet march until tempers flared. like there we're mostly dressed in black their faces covered with surgical masks and wearing makeshift body armor from the get go some in today's crowd seems ready for a different kind of protest than the largely peaceful mass demonstrations on sunday i would say it actually is a week car or bomb or a protest story we do like for it here is there are different way to work our way that's the only way that there would be like. having our say. they are worried about a proposed law that would mean hong kong could send people to mainland china to

face trial critics warned that it would allow beijing to target political opponents in hong kong which retained its own justice system after being returned to china from british rule in 1997 undeterred by the outrage the territory's chief executive is promising to push forward with the legislation i do but i have not received anything instruction on mending from beijing to do dispute. we were doing the young student do ing it p.r. functions. and all commitment to home. a commitment hardly reflected today at the legislative council where seats remained empty as the schedule debate was postponed but with a legislature dominated by beijing loyalists few protesters expect the law to fail to vote on june 20th. this legal so. i'm quite disappointed that i don't think. they will listen to people. who are still going ahead. i think

the people. they may have forced the legislators to delay the vote but for these protesters the struggle to preserve hong kong's autonomy has only just begun. let's go right to hong kong our correspondent phoebe kong is standing by for us there hi phoebe we saw clashes and police firing tear gas during protests today now night has fallen what is the situation there now. you know we are. where we had to fly over a life very close to the actual slave count so complex just a few blocks away so we are still at a very alike or parts of the occupy areas and police just started and other wave of clearance like minutes ago they would like to clear and push are the protesters here away from from this area and but we can see that there is too like.

hundreds of protesters us do gathering right here and down not going to leave before police use radical actions to push them away and. apart from that we can see the protesters there now scattered in different places in the not for part of hong kong and so. it's protesters they are actually moving away from here but they are now occupying many other roles in the central districts in hong kong. seems like they're not backing down they vowed not to back down and we did see today that debate over this bill in the legislative council has been delayed is that really a victory for the protesters or is it really just a delay. well we can see we can say that this is a short term factory for the protesters as they have actually like forced a legislative council to cancel the meeting up today but this is only for today

because according to the announcement of the legislative council they're going to feel they're going to postpone the meeting to later. sometime like later maybe this week or next week but definitely isco still going to press for their 2nd reading of the feel so so far there's no sign for the government to scrap the withdrawal or just. the process the procedure of the like. and acting to be also. in the long run is still a long battle for the protesters because the government seems like they are not like retreats like from from like in regard to walk the protest asking for they are not going to scrap the beatles so far ok all right or wrong with the very latest for us in hong kong thank you so much now some other stories making news around the world japan's shinzo obvious met with iran's president

for the punishment of the officers involved in gold in the village of framing and this treatment while in custody the rally also saw the detention of russian opposite opposition leader alexina vali and it comes a day after a drug dealing charges against goldman all were dropped due to a lack of evidence. let's go right to moscow our correspondent emily sure win is standing by at the demonstration that's taking place in solidarity with hi emily so people have been gathering there but there's been a number of arrests today tell us what's been happening or what you've been witnessing there well the protesters that were marching and gathering peacefully here but the police presence was quite large from the beginning and the arrests started pretty quickly at the beginning it seemed that officers were arresting people kind of wearing t. shirts that read. even go off which was the slogan that people have been kind of

coming out with in support of the journalists but then it was pretty indiscriminate now people here at the march told me that yes go enough was a big step forward but really the people behind this arrest need to be brought to justice and really his release is just a drop in the ocean that's what people here have been telling me only tell us more about. why was he set free yesterday so suddenly. his release did come very suddenly well the 1st reason i think sue me was the lack of evidence or the difficult evidence that was presented by the police which in cases was in some cases was actually rather contradictory but i think also the huge public pressure that we've been seeing in the last few days and over the weekend there were protesters outside the interior ministry holding signs and there was huge media solidarity across the board as well including in state media so i think

that really had a big effect on the quick turnaround we saw in that case and we have 2 signals here on the one hand you have a rush the public pressure as you mentioned on the other hand several of arrests at this protest today so what impact does if i'm going to actually have on how the russian government deals with these types of cases in the future. well i was talking about a quick turnaround on north case but we also have seen a very quick turnaround on the signals being sent yesterday civil society here in russia seemed to kind of breathe a sigh of relief and today we've seen these mass arrests on the one hand for example the parliament has said here in russia that they are looking to perhaps discuss liberalizing drug laws here particularly when it comes to drug possession those are the laws that was arrested under but we have also seen this signal today

with these mass arrests and it seems that civil society here in russia is being told that there are borders there are limits to what they can do here in the public space and that they have to toe the line what about even go enough himself he says he will continue to investigate corruption in russia allow him to do so. yesterday when he was released he came out and said that he would be considering his corruption investigations including into the funeral business now that was the investigation that he was arrested over it seems he came out kind of fighting it does seem that because he's high profile after this whole case and after the huge noise that the public has made about this case and that kind of prominence that attention that he's gotten will give him some protection it seems going forward now and it isn't clear at this point though what that will mean for other critical

journalists and other activists here in russia and sure when with the very latest for us in moscow thank you emily. now residents of sardinia are facing a scourge of a different kind millions of locusts the italian island in the mediterranean is facing the worst invasion of the insects in 60 years it's proving devastating for farmers the swarms are destroying crops and pastors for grazing unusual weather patterns are being blamed for this year's invasion. it looks like scenes from the apocalypse inside the neon large swarms of locusts have devolved crops to phones and hectares of land it's the worst invasion of locusts on the ivan since the 1960 s. insects will eat any plant there's no little left for farmers to harvest to feed their livestock is done with the locusts are doing their best to destroy everything but it's experts say the population explosion could be due to a sudden change in weather compared to previous years may was unusually cold and

wet this year while june has been dry and hot with unusual that meant that millions of motorists touched from the eggs at the same time huge areas of follow me on and provided ample space for them to multiply. many farmers have simply given up. so you didn't immediately benefit from this empty head but that and there from these abandoned fuel fields of this pieces goes through the cultivated girls there's no quick solution to the plague of locusts and cites the usual methods of employing fire smoko poison to kill them haven't worked families here can only wait and see if the locusts ones move on that will depend on which way the wind is blowing in the next few days now and frank is one of the best known victims of the holocaust and her name is still widely recognised today thanks

to her diary during world war 2 she and her family hid from the nazis in concealed rooms built into a courtyard house and after what she was 15 she and her family were discovered arrested and sent to a concentration camp or diary describes nazi persecution and their reign of terror an impressive detail today would be an frank's 90th birthday to mark the occasion $40000.00 students in germany from hundreds of schools are taking part in and frank day. our reporter went to the state of the new book in northeastern germany and met one of the few people who still remembers and frank personally. peter cornish knew and frank personally what she day beside him when he was little their families were good friends. the school when i saw. the gardens the park. i would have from school. to do what she did she would come home she was

a. lunchtime himself fled to america now he has come to germany just for and frank day which marks what would have been her 90th birthday and he has a message. to her and. we . we put. those. who are we were we going there were. students at that one can school outside of berlin have gone through the diary of anne frank and they're impressed by her story. i'm understand the least part of us and for us when you read it king is especially since it's coming from a kid's point of view i mean she was my

a. it's just incredible it's terrible it's hard to imagine africa conditions compression in overman of words just because you have different roots doesn't mean you're different as a person everyone can be good or bad it depends on the person and not on what culture or religion a person belongs to. for years the number of anti-semitic incidents has been rising in german schools history teacher bad linda man wants to raise awareness of the issue although the one can school has had few problems there have been anti semitic insults and graffiti here. people often apply concepts such as using the word jew as an insult that are used in a completely on differentiated way and in an ignorant way. the aim of anne frank day is 1st students to get a feel for the past so that history does not repeat itself. 2 new videos of 2 of the most powerful men in the world are causing

a stir they claim to show mark zuckerberg and donald trump but it's not what they said that's causing controversy it's whether it was really them cleaver has been following the story for us hena tell us what story. this is a story about fake news i mean this is we can talk about fake news already walking among us if you like it's making us doubt facts already where do we get it social media. from those people social media means facebook we rely on social media to some extent to police what we get so that we're not getting these fake videos fake news you can also just call it lies. but they're not very good at policing themselves not very good at it checking what content is being put out there now one of these videos as you said is mark took a back. a couple of artists created this using artificial intelligence this is the next step in face in fake news let's take a look at what we've got imagine this for

a 2nd one with total control of billions of people still in there over secrets their lives their futures i owe it all to specter specter showed me that whoever controls that there are controls the future. ok so it looks like mark zuckerberg but clearly not something he would say so what are we actually looking at this is what people are calling deep fakes this is create scenes with an artificial intelligence computer program looking through his illions of images of months of come back and not so much altering images but creating new images so you're not cutting or speeding things up with slowing things down this computer program that they're able to create new images and then you put a voice on top of it and you can tell it to to say whatever you want to say obviously a little bit worrying a little bit worrying and really i mean it's scary to look at mark zuckerberg being fake in that sense of the fake but it's really just also the tip of the iceberg

that has far more serious consequences as well doesn't it well yeah i mean he's an important guy but we also have another video to show you of a arguably even more important guy let's look at this video of donald trump let me tell you a secret you have it wonder why i'm so popular because of my big brain maybe but seriously it's all about do things ok algorithms and data i pulled out of the biggest taste of the century people just have no idea. voice is a little off but the video looks really authentic so why wouldn't i believe that looking at it well that's that's the terrifying thing right and you could have him say anything now a lot of people are raising the alarm and saying well we could use one of these programs and have trump you know declare war on iran tomorrow. i don't think that's really the danger i think that hopefully there will be some checks and balances in place to stop that actually. turning into an actual war but you could easily have

him say something that is a step that is one of the dominoes that somebody would react to a different country or a company would react to and then you would actually control or at least very very strongly affect events in the ground in the world so what can we do to make sure that we don't have that happen it's very difficult when we stop trusting what we see and hear them then where are we you know how do we make our decisions how do we decide who to vote for how do we decide what to eat how do we decide whether to have a children vaccinated or not this kind of stuff. has a massive danger to it and we have to think about what are we going to do so what do we you know can we really do that almost the victim blaming thing of and insisting that audiences or facebook consumers that they have to school themselves in how to recognize when a fake video is a deep fake or whatever it is i don't think that's enough. then you have the other side of will you going to ask policymakers to start bringing in laws of what you

can and can't do that's also freighted with real danger and and a lot of people say well that's them then trying to control the conversation the huge questions that are being thrown out by this but we really do have to start asking and answering these questions are interesting stuff there our reporter hannah cleaver looking to the story for us thanks kyra. now canada says it's banning single use plastic starting in the year 2021 as part of an effort to cut down on the plastic waste clogging the world's oceans it's just one of many threats to our oceans including overfishing and global warming it's an ugly problem one german photographer is taking a special look at the breath and depth of the destruction and is highlighting the work being done to preserve the life and beauty of our oceans take a look. environmental photographer your code vests latest project draws attention to the state of our oceans with shocking results.
