9:03 am
a statement by the font so i out they just jogging a couple of 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 protesters. are you know if the police must apologize for using excessive force and the situation is still unacceptable and that's the biggest withdrawal 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. ghost at the very latest now from mathias ballinger he's in hong kong for us this morning good morning to you on the ts perturb protesters out again today very angry we saw in that report against excessive force what's happening right now or your. the area you see behind me is the petition area of the legislative council that's
9:04 am
exactly the area the police say protesters have tried to enter which triggered the police reaction this is massive use of tear gas and rubber bullets to clear the space now the protesters are here the police is has retreated so this is a clear 1st victory for the protesters and we might be in for another long occupation of downtown hong kong ok another apparent victory for protesters authorities have released a prominent protest leader joshua wong who was an organizer of the 2014th umbrella protests we all remember those he says will be back at the head of the latest push for civil rights let's take a listen to what he said hong kong people we would not keep silence under the suppression of president xi and the ship executive karoline carrier and must step down otherwise i believe in the next day wish before the 22 anniversary.

9:06 am
a much bigger movement as you mentioned at this point and at this point now at the core of the latest protests are 3 things the demands for independent courts for an end to this new extradition law and for hong kong's leader kerry lamb to step down are the protests going to achieve all of these goals. that's hard to say i mean until now the government has only a half backbone on the extradition bill. they are still keeping the option open to bring it back some time although i cannot imagine under which circumstances this would be possible for kerry lao we keep hearing voices from the probate. that he she is losing support from beijing that her handling of this crisis. is not satisfied with her handling of this crisis she has made many mistakes she
9:07 am
has done everything basically you should not do if you want people to calm down so it is possible that beijing will drop her at some point or the probate will look for another solution on the other hand it would like look like giving in if she was stepping back down a bit beijing does not like to look like giving into somebodies pressure ok so a lot at stake and a lot still moving we don't know where this is all going to go right now it is in hong kong for us thanks very much for that a preview of some of the other stories that are making the news this hour japan has called for an international framework on the disposing of radioactive waste from nuclear power plants at a meeting of the g. 20 group of leading economies japan's industry minister saying was countries using nuclear energy to share experience and knowledge. electricity is back on again in a number of countries in south america that were hit by

9:15 am
we're awaiting more information from the police we don't for example have a name yet the german media as you mentioned are reporting that he seems to have had the suspect to have had connections to the right wing extremists ok police are being very guarded in what they're saying the media is is going away and here in germany is a shaping up to be a political murders i would it's looking like unclear we don't have confirmation of that yet what we do know as i said is that media say that this particular suspect had connections to the right wing seen what we also know is that there had been death threats against dr luka after the incident that we saw there in the video he had basically stood up for the chances open migration policy in 2015 after that where there were a lot of death threats threats they die down but there was a certain resurgence late in the winter this year and certainly what can be said is that after he was shot there was

9:18 am
a last resort should we reworked. a very good morning to you know i would not say so you know this new bad bank is quite different to the bad bank that those you had in place between the years to 2012 and 2016 which contained toxic assets you know assets that you cannot sell on the financial markets this new bad bank contains derivatives that you can't sell on the market but it has become obsolete or not a very good idea for the bank to keep them because they've come a drag on the capital of georgia bang as after the financial crisis new stricter regulations had be introduced so the fact that she is now getting rid of those assets is a piece of good news actually it is you know on the path to become a bit more of a secure bank a bit less risky ok so we shouldn't be worried conrad but but what prompted the
9:19 am
plan why is moving in this direction you know brian the share price has shrunk of deutsche bank and also the credit rating of deutsche bank has suffered pretty much so deutsche bank really had to do something in order to increase the quality of its capital this is what has happened the capital buffers have been increased and now inside as a deutsche just say that the bank has the capital and liquidity quality to really make this step to get rid of those you know owed assets beforehand it would have been able to do so you're gonna you mention the problem with the banks credit rating it's long been considered a takeover candidate what's it looking like right now. it's become less likely that the bank gets some sort of takeover offer a such a takeover offer would also have to come from outside germany here in germany we
9:20 am
don't have you know banks that would be able to afford such a takeover but also you know banks outside germany know that having the word deutsche in its name is you know a bit of a protection for the bank this brand name means that though it really has to be managed from inside germany and cater to its german clients conrad thanks so much for that update from frankfurt it's to israel now where a settlement in the contested golan heights borders own has been named after u.s. president donald trump prime minister benjamin netanyahu led the ceremony launching trump heights the aim there is to strengthen the ties between washington and israel . correspondent tommy kramer visited that site in the north of the golan heights. this is the settlement of killer put on the occupied golan heights a new neighborhood is planned here named in honor of you as president donald trump

9:22 am
based on old plans that were never realized in april prime minister netanyahu announced that he would name a town in the occupied golan heights after u.s. president donald trump in honor of his decision to recognize israeli control over the territory terms controversial decision most criticized by the international community which considers the golan heights to be occupied territory israel captured this to teach an important player talk from syria 967 here israelis were through by trump's decision they hope the new place will lead to new infrastructure and investment zimmer 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 to me be the so-called ski. let me show you let it be named after. it's important not
9:23 am
something changes here doesn't happen just by changing the name you have to act and that's done by people and money and time today or time tomorrow so it doesn't really matter. what does matter is that the u.s. president agrees with the israeli government that this land should remain forever under israel's control. it's through the women's world cup now and the united states have surged into the knockout stages with 3 nil win over chile the paris island 13 in a record world cup score in their 1st game now although their victory over the south americans was more modest holders are looking to team to beat already. alex morgan scored 5 goals against thailand but was rested on the bench against chile such as the strength in depth for the u.s.
