numbers today why are they so angry. i think this week has really. doubled the anger of the hong kong was last sunday 1000000 people took to the streets to protest this bill on monday the government has there thank you very much but we will continue on wednesday we have seen this proof police brutality where the police used tear gas and rubber bullets rubber bullets for the 1st time in hong kong history at least as long as people here can remember against protesters and then on saturday finally the government backed down but it backed down half a step and it does not drop the plans and tiredly it has not scrapped the bill it has that it will postpone the bill some media report postponed indefinitely but it they should rather say indeterminate because carol lam has clearly said she wants to bring this bill back in she thinks that most of the anger is due to
1:03 pm
miscommunication from her so people are really unhappy about this adding to the anger about the bill where the people many many people fear is a the putting hong kong's freedom at big risk if not out and and there's now a lot of anger about the government itself and i think we can hear that really if we listen to the protesters voices planned to. take this not a time and not step down through. a day of protesting police brutality he said that this is just the worst either this is an outcome of government she wished patrol this evil it's tradition be that we send our innocent people to china for some unfair to the shell i don't know processed and go to jail i don't think this is the best way for the government to treat our people we've already seen a big u. turn in the government's position by postponing this extradition bill i. we're

likely to see them back down further to more of the protesters demands. but it's very hard to say because the hong kong government is not elected by the people but by. the. commission is probe aging and page is very close to beijing and a lot of the decisions i have to be coordinated with beijing so we will see whether paging might take her as chief executive out of the line on knowledge but this is way more complicated than it would be in a democracy in and not in any democracy a government with this many protestors protesting against it could not stay in power will we be expecting more of similar protests in the coming days. well i think people are also energized so the protests will continue we will not
1:05 pm
see the same amount of people on the street now every day for sure but i don't think there is a quick and to this people now are really angry and they demand at least an excuse for police brutality that demand the scrap of this bill there's no sign until now that the government is doing this we will see how they react until now they have been so at it credibly clumsy also in dealing with this so any prediction always very hard to make but the anger is not going away that's for sure to have you as much as billing of reporting from hong kong for us thank you so much. and now i bring you some of the other stories making news around the world a jerusalem court has convicted sarah netanyahu the wife of israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu of misusing state funds after she spent thousands of dollars on lavish meals at her official residence fraud charges were dropped as part of a plea bargain in which she will pay a fine. at least 8 people have been killed by

after the us president this comes after trump recognized the golan heights as part of israel israel gained control of the territory more than 50 years ago in the 6 day war that the united nations and most countries still consider it occupied syrian land move it was seen as a boost for prime minister benjamin netanyahu and he said he'd remain. in the u.s. president's honor the israeli cabinet is due to approve that decision later today but if it goes ahead what might that look like kramer has more. this is the settlement of killer poor cream on the occupied golan heights a new neighborhood is planned here named in honor of u.s. president anwar trump only a dozen presidents live in kill or pull him there right many years ago from the former soviet union 30. 1 of them the red tyree is in news by the recent interest in this home. we suddenly

1:09 pm
trump's controversial decision most criticised by the international community which considers the golan heights to be occupied territory is really kept at this to teach an important plateau from syria 967 here israelis were through by trump's decision they hope the new place will lead to new infrastructure and investment then i guess it is very exciting because no new settlements have been built on the garden heights for 30 years it's unbelievable a lot of young families with kids already waiting to come and live here. google can that's also what's most important to longtime resident flood. let it be named after. it's important that something changes here doesn't happen just by changing the name. you have to. i'm not done by people and money and time today or time tomorrow so it doesn't really matter.
