inclined to agree i think. it's something i think it definitely did to the protest tomorrow born in hong kong raised in hong kong i think the bill should have never gone through anyway. and for. take this amount of time and not stepped through. a day of protesting police brutality things that just is the worst i've ever seen and. statements like these along with the peaceful protests on friday against police violence show a steely resolve to resist the government. well young people in hong kong say they're determined to keep protesting until the proposed new law is scraps all together. i think that the most important thing is the government she wished which are all this evil extradition below that we send our innocent people to china
12:04 am
for some unfair to be sure i don't know process and go to jail i don't think it's the best way for the government to treat our people we have done that and really if you set about the whole thing. it is so if they kill this i don't know but it's happening to our home this way i didn't know to put tell him because every every night i think and most of my friends and also myself we have nightmares and after these days as it ends we don't know why the police and to assure our people. now not cathedral has held its 1st mass as the fire in april which devastated the paris landmark for safety reasons only a few pray use and restoration workers were allowed in others were able to watch the service on television. for this mass the clergy had hard
12:05 am
hats to carry with their white ropes a clear sign of how fragile this cathedral still is 2 months after a fire the nearly destroyed it the mass took place in the relative safety of a chapel behind the high altar the main body of the cathedral with its damaged faults could still collapse. house of the burnt rubble some reasons to be thankful. when you saw him go for them all over today we're deeply happy to celebrate the eucharist which is why the cathedral was built there's 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. outside not true people captured images of the famous landmark on their phones. 2 months earlier they've been filming scenes of horror like this the fire gutted the cathedrals gothic roof and toppled its spire.
12:06 am
those watching back then could have been forgiven for thinking a day like today would never come. and with the bad it is a new beginning this reconstruction is a new future for the cathedral and the starting point of the sunday life of the church and this mass this 1st mass works continuing every day to stabilize the massive structure president emanuel macro wants to rebuild not return in just 5 years something that so overly ambitious but today if nothing else it showed where there's a will there's a way. 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 and
12:07 am
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 off in you 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
12:08 am
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 handed 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 this 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 for a much more humble sources their american tourists and french citizens who have been joined knighting to nonprofit organizations involved with the rip restoration
12:09 am
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 store in over the centuries the not true as being neglected and needed lots of restoration anyway and the french president has said he wants all these within 5 years. plus when the fire happened $300.00 tons of lead to dust was listening to the atmosphere so there is a real urgent need to clean up the side of the not true don so that 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 awe they fit
12:10 am
in with what they think they should be what people sort of think is that some of the dharnas want been names and money associated with the end product and may be interested in the sort of boring initial stage of cleaning up the side of making a site so we have to see how this pans out in the next couple of months and now they don't seem quite a selfless as they may have tended to be in you know ways that generate thank you so very much. now look at 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 all 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. a miner in chile has been rescued after nearly 2 days trapped deep underground another man was killed and
12:11 am
a 3rd is still missing following the mine collapse and say officials say the site was inspected earlier this month and complied with all regulations. the women's world cup continues in france and joining me to discuss all the latest action is tom get away from sports hello to you tom so the netherlands beat cameroon and the 1st match that we saw today what did you make of it well i mean it turned out to be fairly difficult game for the netherlands actually they had a 30 tough time breaking down they fools went in as favorites but as we've seen a couple of times of the tournament so far the underdogs put up a pretty stiff fight and the favorites a tough time scoring goals but of course it's only the 4 new school that matches the dutch have got what they want they've booked them so a place in the last 16 of that's one of them i discover it. the usual sea of orange
12:12 am
was there to greet the dutch side and they gave they found something to cheer on 41 minutes when to be on a medium like of the open with the police head with what the league did not last long with cameron levelling through gabriele on getting a with them delivered a message home by a good t. shirt it was cameroon's 1st goal in 251 minutes was the 2nd half belonged to the netherlands though and they reached elite quickly after the restart dominique with cameroon is defending left a lot to be desired. the gift meant the defender had the easiest of finishes thanks. he did make them became the neverland's recalled scorer with the 60th vote and she still only 22 with the guts to go through the looking dangerous thought i am very happy dutch fans they are after that went by the
12:13 am
netherlands and certainly a big day for of again me to ma how did shane have minutes to score so many goals and she's so young just nights years old it's an incredible record is no i mean she did have a she made her debut in the national same issue 7 she has been playing at an international level already for 5 years but even in that time 60 goals it's just quite incredible our interest for a long time left in the chinese probably quite hard to keep rising yeah indeed well there was another game on saturday canada playing new zealand have of that panned out well kind of they were by far the superior team but like i said i mean like it happened with the news with the netherlands patnaik and cameroon they had a fairly tough time breaking new zealand down they didn't rate too many chances in the 1st haul christine sinclair hit the ball early on it was but it wasn't until just fleming managed to slide this finish to. right hand corner that kind of took
12:14 am
the lead player on the show prince freed up office and they hit the woodwork again to know was the fonz for not was hardly a highlight it's one of enough and it's fair to say something of a flop is fair and noble but they're comparing it with the netherlands game early on saturday so it's more difficult for canadians and using fans to make the trip to france the end result is of course that canada become the next team to book them to put themselves a place in the last 16 so they're progressing through this one month for new zealand i think it's looking 30 tricky. how do through and rejoin kind of it's our . time going i found it a waste for us thank you so much for bringing us up to date thank you and you're watching the news coming up next we're on stories that we can reports with a look at all kong refugees seeking asylum here in germany before we go we'll leave you with some pictures from the service and not to the dom and paris 1st since the
