a member of chancellor angela merkel's christian democrats. i'm married to evanston it's good to have you with us. nearly $2000000.00 people have been rallying in hong kong they're demanding the resignation of the city's probation leader carrie lam she bowed to pressure and apologized to the public for her handling of the proposed bill that would allow extraditions to mainland china but pro-democracy demonstrators want the bill scrapped completely they worry that the bill is just one of many steps to chip away at hong kong's freedoms and its legal autonomy. the day. after more than a week of massive protests the human tide showed no sign of abating it was kerry

lem's 2nd back step in as many days she admitted that the law had led to conflict and distress but still hong kong's people don't feel lam went far enough. time up i'm here to condemn the police violence against us it's unacceptable that the police define our demonstration last wednesday as a riot. lamb even justifies the police violence as righteous measures that's why i'm here to urge her to step down getting our order came out today to urge the government to release people arrested in mass clashes last wednesday actions speak louder than words we want concrete action from her but not a statement that the font than sorry out the. public anger is still seen as following violent clashes on wednesday when police used tear gas rubber bullets and bean bag rounds to disperse tens of thousands of protesters that are you know if the police must apologize for using excessive force and the situation is still

unacceptable unless the bill is withdrawn what she does is just muddle through half heartedly now it appears that nothing short of kerry lem's resignation will make the people back down. w.'s but he is building a is following the developments in hong kong and he joins us now for more but he is quite late already in hong kong and yet we're seeing so many people still out on the streets why are they still so angry. i think anger has built up over this week and this is to a do to a in a big part to the handling of the government of this crisis when you have a 1000000 of people on the street like last sunday you have to react to it you cannot say thank you but we are going to carry on then police brutality. with nourished anger further last wednesday people felt that the police had been

overly brutal in getting people out of this area that you see now behind me so when caroline finally made a step back it was already very late and it was only half of what the people had expected people feel entitled now to go on the streets again they also feel their power we have seen more people even than last sunday today so this is going to last i think. all materials so many people have been comparing the current protests in hong kong to the umbrella movement 5 years ago i mean back then protesters were trying to gain additional say in the political life of hong kong that movement unfortunately did not yield any results how likely is it that the protests this time around are going to change anything. similarities are striking it's the same streets the street you see behind me was one of the hot

spots in 2014. it's very hard to say because it does not depend on the hong kong those are not even on the hong kong government in its own to what what will happen next beijing has a say in that and beijing is not known for seeking dialogue with people who protest it as we all know so it's very hard to predict what's going to happen next. it's also unlikely that the government will put forward this bill any time soon be. as it would just ignite the whole city again so if we just look at the the main issue of this bill i think protesters are already more successful than that time but in getting more freedoms and getting more say in the city's politics i doubt there will be significant steps in the near future. when just how much is hong kong's old tanami and its independence from mainland china really at risk.

pos rhythms are eroding they have been eroding slowly over the past few years we have seen for example beijing abducting people from the city and putting them in jail in china so this is probably presumably a reason why beijing also wanted this bill although now the probe it income says it was kerry lam's idea but beijing would have had a legal handling to just have people from hong kong delivered to mainland china and there wouldn't have to abducted them critical books are disappearing from the bookstores and people were fearing that exactly this bill that would it would tear down the fire wall because between hong kong's rule of law that still exists and this arbitrary mainland system. is my tears burning now reporting for us from hong kong we thank you very much. here in germany police have arrested

a man on suspicion of murdering a politician. original official from uncle americal c.d.u. party he was found 2 weeks ago with a gunshot wound to the head in his garden and castle in central germany a loose investigating killing say the suspect is a 45 year old man and though unconfirmed german media is reporting that the man is known to be from the far right seen. well for more on the story i'm joined now by delhi is chief political correspondent me shanika in the shadow so what more do we know about the suspect and how police managed to track him down while the in from official information we do have on how he was tracked down is that there was d.n.a. found on the clothing about him to feel which then led to this man to whose d.n.a. was already in the database because he has several serious previous convictions and

that much is fact that much is officially confirmed and what several media now independent the from each other reporting here in germany is that he is allegedly rooted in the far right scene here in germany one of the title says that that's still in the present some say it was in the past and if that were to be the case and if that motivation was to be behind it that would be a significant development and also a watershed moment really because this would be a right wing extremist motivated political murder the 1st one here and me. and tell tell our viewers a bit more about who this victim was what was his role in the community but he's a member of i'm going to back we'll see you pati he's a regional politician so he's not known nationally it's old but he was also very well known for being in favor of open arms policy towards migrants he's also known

to have defended that policy quite famously at one event where people were really attacking the whole concept of migrant shelters he reminded them of christian values and told them that if he if they didn't share them they could leave the country and he did receive several death threats after that but we don't know is whether there's any link there but what we did see is that certainly in online right wing circles some almost celebrate since his death and this is also the president by destiny and maya condemning that kind of. rhetoric on line and that kind of kind of hate speech following what is deceived to be a mud abbott said he is a killing are there concerns that perhaps this man didn't act alone or is there more to it well this is what we're really waiting on we're due to get some more official information during the course of the week that's what the state prosecutor says from now we really want to learn whether that indeed is

a link to the far right scene we saw a modest series here in germany spanning over a decade with 10 people killed simply for having migrant roots that was the and this you tara trio as it came known here in germany that was also very widely reported on this would be a new quality when politicians on to for what they actually son for. his mission occurred now we thank you very much for that. let's have a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world sudan's former president tomorrow but sheer has appeared in public for the 1st time since he was overthrown in april a share was taken to a prosecutor's office in a corruption probe he's been held under arrest in the capital khartoum since the military removed him from power amid a mass protest against his 30 year rule. a massive power outage has left argentina uruguay and neighboring countries in the dark the outage affected tens of

same thing i'm going to so i'm not really convinced by any candidate. but i don't what they might pick for guatemalans the truth is we need change and with these candidates who are leading the polls we won't have anything for bill change for guatemala and will stay the same or even get worse even if you add up a or. the country's former attorney general film alexander had been topping the polls before she was kicked off the ballot over allegations of fraud and lying she was well known for leading several anti corruption investigations in the country and her supporters saw her removal from the list as a move driven by corrupt politicians since then former 1st lady sandra torres has emerged as a favorite with a strong support base in rural areas her main rival is right wing candidate. who is seeking the presidency for a 4th time but it's likely neither of them will gain the majority needed to avoid a runoff round in august there's
