mongolian goes on to offer all before she catches up with the whole band on trial in berlin. claim. i'm british welcome to the other news asia it's good to have you with us. protests continue in hong kong against a proposed law that would allow people in the territory to be extradited to the chinese mainland but the goal of these protests is something bigger the fight for hong kong's autonomy and its democracy china applies the one country 2 systems principle to hong kong giving the ted a tree the right to determine the laws that govern it but how successful have demands for this to be respected been let's go back 5 years but you will remember these pictures students and pro-democracy activists getting umbrellas protesting in
4:32 pm
hong kong's business district in late 2014 demanding free and fair elections but what did lead to clearly does of the umbrella movement was sent to jail in 2017 and in april this year 7 others 100 prison terms for their role in the movement also in 2017 for pro-democracy legislators what disqualified from parliament for refusing to declare loyalty to china when they took their oath of office and last year despite opposition the hong kong legislature approved a measure that meant chinese law trump hong kong law in parts of the new west called long train station there are many more such instances but we do turn to the current protests and our correspondent phoebe kong reporting from where they are being held like the umbrella movement 5 years ago most of the people present here today are young people saying to me as the home home residents as they have gone astray in a serious off the field social movements in the past few years but what is the
4:33 pm
biggest difference is that this time people are here to help overcome the how this is a positive possibility is that even though to understand this has to succeed it's extremely small they find this to you at the time and to stand up and fight for what they believe in even if that's in country ultimately. not to me now in the studio has been about she's seen it on a expert of the battles mandans to do it in a belin mr boche welcome to the studio thank you for coming in at the outset can i just ask you is this protest doomed to fail i'm afraid it's not going to get to a good result what is failure here i don't think the protesters in hong kong are out to actually stop the no it's not about the law it's about them voicing their discontent and this discontent is really against the communist party of china they are saying you don't represent us and we don't q one q to meddle in hong kong's
4:34 pm
affairs as much as you have done over the last couple of years but that is not something that they're going to be very successful in but they make their point strongly but even if they're make this point and they've made this point repeatedly in the past 5 years beijing hasn't budged an inch where does this end. that is the crucial question and i don't think it's going to end well for the people in hong kong if seen the pictures where they photograph people they've gone after the last generation of protesters really hardly and i'm afraid they're going to do that again because the one thing that the beijing government does not accept is a challenge to its authority because hong kong has also been a model for the rest of china always and what beijing really does not want to happen is. for people in china especially young people in china to get an idea
4:35 pm
that you can protest against the communist party that you can challenge the system and get away with it so what you're saying is that beijing needs to make an example of hong kong every time hong kong protests against beijing's rule and that example we've been made every time no matter what does i'm afraid that is the path they're on they don't want an escalation because that is not going to do them any service and they very much censoring the events in hong kong on the mainland so the awareness in china is not that high at the moment they don't want escalation at the moment but they want to stop this and what is really i believe freaking them out is this guy is off this protest it's one in 7 people in hong kong that's equivalent to 12000000 people in germany 0 almost $50000000.00 people in the u.s. it's an unprecedented protest but when it comes to a whole talking about hong kong we speak about the one country 2 systems principle
4:36 pm
this is the principle that china itself came up with does china actually follow this principle as a just that. they do follow it hong kong does have its autonomy and it's going to have to autonomy for a while but beijing is not really feel feeling bound to this law anymore which was set up in the eighty's and a totally different conditions and they definitely don't want hong kong to make trouble and this kind of protest is exactly what is beijing's definition of making trouble. from the bet those mom institute thank you very much for coming into the studio and explaining this to us. last year made history by winning a gold medal in the digital world championships making the filipino fighter a figure of national pride at home now she's using her status to tackle the child sex tourism that blights the philippines with her campaign to empower abuse

4:38 pm
a chore decided to. look at setting up the fight to protect initiative to help victims of child abuse to regain their confidence through self defense. i was 1st of the kids that i've gotten to know some of them. view themselves as nothing else and lately they saw themselves as worthless you know because of what they experienced. physical therapy like this has its critics who warn that it could be retried ties in for victims but for the tour and the girls the empowering effect are all too clear. for somebody that has gone through that kind of almost specifically it makes you more comfortable off the right kind of that you know that that's not. that's not abusive point that that is you know part of sport mean aware of your own body also once i learned.
4:39 pm
it helped me to realize that it's not your fault it's just a challenge for you and a challenge that's our tour has readily embraced teaching her country's most vulnerable the arts of self defense and the feeling of self-worth now some of you might remember a story we did back in february about the mongolian rock band making waves at home and abroad in case you missed it take a listen to this. that's mongolia's the home band and they're now taking their unique blend of metal and traditional mongolian music on the road out of puerto jet agreed caught up with the band before their show here in berlin.
