proposed law that would have allowed people to be extradited to mainland china the bill caused widespread concern that it would threaten hong kong's rule of law and its status as a financial hub. fractious scenes outside government house in hong kong preceded a remarkable turnaround from the leadership are so repeated in turn no deliberations over the last 2 days i now announce that the government has decided to suspend a legislative amendment exercice restart our communication with all sectors of society do more explanation work and listen to different views of society statement acknowledging the pressure of recent days where protesters thronged the city streets and clashed with police was instrumental in her decision to suspend but not withdraw the bill that suspension drew strong opposition voices to criticized for not scrapping the law completely with some demanding her resignation

help. statements like these along with the peaceful protests on friday against police violence show a steely resolve to resist the government. but yes bollinger is in hong kong following the situation there for us but here's why do you think kerry lamb relented and postponed this controversial bill. i think she had to do something about this public anger hong kong has seen not only probably the most people taking to the streets since 1907 since it was handed over to china has also seen the worst violence it is in all this period so public anger was building up was building up tomorrow there will be another

demonstration. that the situation was. was about to run out of control neither hong the hong kong government nor beijing wanted these pictures to to continue going around the world so they they understood finally i think that they could not push this through the way they wanted is this a clear win for the protesters or is it a little more complicated than that. what she has did not erupt when she announced that she would delay the bill some people said it's a little bit of a relief but it's not a solution yet others said that they are outright disappointed they want this bill to be scrapped and they want the government to promise them that this bill will not be on the table again whereas the government has they would just rediscuss the bill and maybe bring it up at a later point again so tomorrow's march against this bill will take place it might be less heated maybe even less people would turn up then they would they would have

been if the bill was still on the table there is a difference whether you feel hong kong's freedoms well and next thursday or whether you feel hong kong freedoms are under threat in the longer run on me to on run but people do not think this is over and the anger about the police brutality on wednesday is adding to that people now demand not only the bill to be scrapped they also want an excuse from the government for police brutality on wednesday so the conflict as it is know when you saw. today obvious that has reporting from hong kong thank you so much. millions of workers in brazil have staged a general strike to protest planned the pension reforms the changes were needed increase in the retirement age and higher pension contributions brazil's hard line president j. or boston area has warned that failure to overhaul the pension system will bankrupt
