i was simply a human being. was neil armstrong. was his destiny starts july 20th on w. . player. playing. player. that you. are trying. to get the free to delete. it. told. me.

it was one of the biggest blackouts ever recorded we'll get the latest from point 0 side. and the united states continues to dominate the women's world cup thanks to a record setting performance by strikers are they will. play. i'm calm aspen thanks for joining us nearly 2000000 people have been battling in hong kong demanding the resignation of the city's pro beijing leader kerry lam she bowed to pressure and apologized to the public for handling of the proposed bill that would allow extraditions to mainland china or democracy demonstrators want that bill scraps completely they worried the proposed law is one of the many steps chip away. at hong kong's freedoms and legal autonomy. the day.

after more than a week of mess of 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. out there i'm sure i'm here to condemn the police violence against us it's unacceptable of the police to find 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 the idea already 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 by the font and so i out they just jogging i was public anger still seeds following violent clashes on wednesday when police used tear gas rubber

bullets and bean bag rounds to disperse tens of thousands of protestors that's why you don't hear from the peace must apologize for using excessive force and the situation is still unacceptable and the stability withdrew and what she does is just muddle through half heartedly now it appears that nothing short of carry lem's resignation will make the people back down. joining me now in studio back hard botches a senior chinese expert at the bettles money institute here in berlin i mean just looking at those those pictures 2000000 people they estimate marched on sunday in hong kong can you put that number in perspective mean is that unprecedented essentially for these kind of protests as tokyo president 2000000 people in hong kong is war than a quarter of the population that's what the population of hong kong i mean about $7000000.00 fully equipped and would be $20000000.00 in germany or $90000000.00 in

the u.s. or $300000000.00 in the people's republic of china for that matter so it's huge. they once carry land to reside that was why they were out there what are the chances of that happening. i think politically kerry is pretty much done for the interesting thing is it will be hard for beijing to replace you can't really imagine kerry lamb going around opening in the gods of giving university commencement speeches after this huge you can see her traveling abroad she was due to come to germany in a couple of days and canceled that trip of course the tricky thing though is. if they choose a new leader for hong kong the whole issue of how this leader is chosen north by the people aging is going to come up again and that is what triggered the umbrella revolution in 2014 and they don't want this topic to cook up again so kerry may have to sit it out for

a while. this bill it was controversial it's now been postponed indefinitely they say but you know those protesters are not celebrating about that right i mean they say the basic afraid that this could just come back at a later date they might bring this bill back or the chances of that. i think that is going to happen the bigger story is that china wants to get control of the communist party is not very fond of the special rights. and off to every protest in the pots they jane has come back with more repressions with pressuring protesters they've always tightened their fists and the question is how long can they keep tightening their fists before they break their own thing. speaking of beijing i mean they've been very quiet about this you haven't really heard much from china what's the view there i mean how do you think chinese leaders view these protests publicly they don't talk about it they sense it on the mainland but internally they

must be fuming because basically the hong kong government at one job and that was to prevent the protests in the keep it political and what happened the protests the political the if you just. briefly i mean once is this signal now for hong kong's autonomy from mainland china how much is that at risk i think the hong kong people have or time for themselves because there's a lot of things going on in china at the moment it looks like a very stable system but it's really cooking inside but the long term goal of the beijing government is definitely to bring hong kong under control and the systems tune 1000000 people out in the streets of hong kong bartsch with perspective on that from the bench as an institute here in berlin thank you very much thank you. now let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world sudan's former

president omar al bashir has been charged with corruption related offenses after appearing in public for the 1st time since he was overthrown in april he was taken to the public prosecutor's office in the capital khartoum where he's been on held under arrest the military removed him from power amid mass protests against is 30 years who. drew some cortez convicted sarah netanyahu the wife of israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu of misusing state funds as 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. a massive power outage has left argentina or why and in neighboring countries in the dark the outage affected tens of millions of people in buenos iris it hobbled public transportation cut off water supplies to many people and crippled phone and internet communications power has now been

restored to major cities but elsewhere many residents are still without electricity a blackout in argentina also affecting neighboring powerglide it's the largest black county ever recorded in the world 44000000 people left without electricity and blackouts everywhere this is going to cyrus. see. i was just in my way to eat with a friend but we had to cancel everything. there's no subway nothing is working the power outage brings a lot of difficulties. but it continues father's day i just talked to a neighbor and he told me his son's won't be able to meet him you know. what it meant. so public transport ground to a halt no traffic lights. few fuel stations open

and no refrigeration. what did the original but i mean it's really weird because i'm 40 years old and it's the 1st time that such a giant power outage happened last. month. the argentinian power supply added or said it was a quote general failure to high voltage power lines connected to a hydroelectric dam collapsed at the same time. argentina is famous for its under investment in its power infrastructure but an outage like this is unprecedented. police in germany have arrested a man on suspicion of murdering a regional official from uncle americal party german media are reporting that the 45 year old suspect could have ties to the far right alter was found dead 2 weeks ago the gunshot wound to the head his garden at his home near the central german city of costal so there's arrest followed a d.n.a.

match the suspect appeared before an investigative judge in concert. we want to get more in that story now and we're joined in the studio by the w.'s chief political editor. now look i want to know what more do we know about this suspect it seems like the police at least are not beliefs a whole lot of information about well let's separate what we know as a fact and what we know through media reports so far we know that this 45 year old was basically traced through d.n.a. that was found on the clothes as he lay there in the garden essentially. we're not sure what it was a direct but it certainly looks like one and this so to match because this 45 year old man has previous serious convictions that we know. now there are several leading davies in germany that of reporting a fall right link to this this man and that may be in the possible maybe in the present right now but if this was to be found out and if this accident was the motive because we know it did stand out for my client on top of the map. as of.

migration policy we would actually have a watershed moment here in germany this would be a political murder of a politician so it's still quite a bit of speculation but the evidence is certainly mounting that this might be the case now the victim vulture look good he had received death threats in the past what more do we know about him and what would have made him a potential target his particular 2015 when around a 1000000 migrants are right here in germany and america was pretty fast under a lot of political pressure for her open arms policy on migration he defended that policy and there's a particular instance where people who criticized that and who were against it and institutions where migrants were living he basically confronted them and said look this is christian values we stand for here if you don't agree with those you should leave the country this was also online and off that receives it quite

a few death threats but this is a couple of years ago so we're not quite sure whether this is indeed the motivation behind this are people in germany reacting to this killing this death we don't know that it's a killing well i mean it's we know that police and officials don't believe it to be suicide therefore we're pretty certain it was a killing whether it was murder that's what we're still trying to find out and established and people were pretty shocked because he was pretty popular he was also popular across party lines he's not a prominent politician people here on the streets will only know him through those media reports of his killing essentially so people certainly in the region are particularly socks and if this was to widen out into a political killing or murder even that would be a shock to the entire country certainly a story we'll keep following the chief political editor. thank you so much. more than a 1000 people have rallied in the russian capital moscow against police abuse of

or just normal citizens. women's world cup now in the united states have surged into the knockout stages with a 3 nil win over chile in paris they of course destroyed thailand 13 to nothing in a record world cup score in their 1st match and although their victory over the south americans was a bit more modest they're already looking like the team to beat. alex morgan skulled 5 goals against thailand but was rested on the bench against to lay such is the strength in depth for the u.s. side. carli lloyd was this door to the starting line up and it took 11 minutes for her to score a record 6 in a 6 straight world cup game chile if they didn't call ice midway through the 1st half i booked solid guerrero was deemed to be offside and interfering in play

despite not touching the ball. almost immediately the roofless us team increased their lead thanks to a superb header from juliet's arguably the best headed goal of the tournament so far. lloyd then made it 3 nil 10 minutes before the huff time break was a late missed penalty robbed her of the chance for a glorious hat trick but the u.s. power into the last 16 with a game to spare. you watching the news live from berlin more news. rock'n'roll after the bump bump bump. with. the church. not no.
