something i think that definitely the edge of the protest more born in hong kong raised in hong kong i think this bill should have never gone through anyway. and for her to. take this amount of time and not step down through. a day of protesting police brutality things i know this is the worst i've ever seen in hong kong statements like these along with the peaceful protests on friday against police violence show a steely resolve. to resist the government. well many of the protesters who took to the streets of hong kong our students our correspondent mathias building up met some of the young people who are juggling their classwork with demonstrating to shape the future of their city. school's out for 17 year old zach today it's the final exams we can on kong and zach is completing grade 11 but

there is this anti extradition bill news mental thing and it's time to get out from behind the computer and fight the idea of the new book a traitor like. zack and his friends vow to continue on to the extradition plans go to matthew scrapped. to paris now where exactly 2 months ago a fire tore through the not all the blaze destroyed the gothic roof and toppled the famous fire but earlier today not a dom held its 1st mass since that devastating fire though on a very small scale for safety reasons only around 30 people were allowed in the priest and restoration workers and they were all required to wear hard hats the catholic faithful could watch a broadcast of the mass on a religious t.v. channel. the service was led by the archbishop of paris. the new song called for the day we are deeply happy to celebrate the eucharist

which is why the cathedral was built it is also a message of hope and thanks to all those who were touched by what has happened to this cathedral a symbol of france and of our christian roots. well many years of restoration and repair still lie ahead and you might think it's all being paid for by the flood of donations that were promised by billionaires and companies after the blaze but it turns out the church is still waiting for much of that money to tell the reporter care rate if they're following up on those donations hello to you so 1st off just remind us how much money exactly was pledged after the fire well when the fire happened a lot of determined philanthropists popped up and started throwing a cw2cw4cw in pledges and very quickly around a 1000000000 euros was was pledged and this

attracted a lot of attention of course they got a lot of publicity for this but also a lot of criticism because it did look like a lot of rich people sort of one hopping each other with these pledges and as you said to be earlier the fire happened 2 months ago so you would think that's enough time to write a check or to press send on the internet banking seems like they need a little bit more time because apparently none of these rich joiners have paid up yes we can hear we can see a statement from what sounds to be a quite annoyed spokesman from the not true dumb. told the a.p. the big donors haven't noticed since they want to know what exactly that money's being spent on and you say you agree to it before they hand it over and not to just pay employees salaries so it seems like there are many many strings attached to this money the french government has said that all the donations that have been pledged so not just from the rich people but from everyone only 10 percent of

actually come through now so a lot are outstanding the employees that the person is referring to the $150.00 employees at the cathedral has employed since since the fire and you know they need to be paid. absolutely so 100 people are working so who's picking up the check to pay them at the moment so they're being paid by the during nations from much more humble sources their american tourists and french citizens who have been doing one thing to nonprofit organizations involved with the restoration and the cleanup and this month they've paid almost $4000000.00 euros to fund the 1st part of the restoration we need to keep in mind too time is of the essence yeah off to the fire we learn from the story in over the centuries the not true has been neglected and needed lots of restoration anyway and the french president has said he wants all these within 5 years so you know. plus 2 when the fire happened

300 tons of lead to dust was you know late into the atmosphere so there is a real urgent need to clean up the side of the not true so that the site for the work has to be to stop rebuilding well what about these rich donors how have they responded to the criticism that they haven't managed to pay up yet how do they explain that some of them of come out and said yes it's true we haven't paid yet and that's because we want to see what the restoration plans like with they fit in with what they think they should be what people sort of think is that some of the dharnas want bin names and their money associated with the end product to may be interested in the sort of boring initial stage of cleaning up the side and making it safe so we have to see how this pans out in the next couple of months and yeah they don't seem quite a selfless as they may have pretended to be in good company is gerry to thank you

so very much all right let's get you up to speed now on some of the other stories making news around the world. saudi arabia and the united arab emirates have called for quote decisive action to protect the oil supply of energy ministers from the group of 20 major economies have been meeting in japan the call comes after 2 tankers were attacked in the gulf of oman on thursday driving oil prices higher. says on a choppa tova has been sworn in as slovakia's 1st female president the 45 year old boy or has never before held state office she entered politics as an environmentalist fighting against a toxic landfill in her hometown. celebrated italian filmmaker franco zeffirelli has died at the age of 96 he was perhaps best known for his 1960 films of shakespeare plays the taming of the shrew starting richard burton and elizabeth

she's so young she's only 22 years old it's quite remarkable is incredible i mean she's she made her debut when she was 17 so she has been doing this already for 5 years but of course even in that time 60 goals international level is an incredible statistic i'm you know with i $22.00 she's it was to go a long time less to come so it's going to be a very difficult record to break for whichever poor striker is left with the toss the thing that once she's gone. to delhi is tonkin i particularly sports thank you so very much indeed thank you. you're watching d.w. news coming up next a documentary film little stones when are to becomes a weapon for women using a raft dance and for a few need to fight for their rights american evan stains from me and the entire team here and burlesque thanks for watching.
