eventually moved in firing tear gas to regain control of the building monday night's escalation follows 3 weeks of protests against planned legislation to allow extraditions to china hong kong's chief executive carrie lam is facing calls for her resignation over the bill she condemned the violence at a press conference the 2nd scene that we have seen which really saddens people and shocks a lot of people a state extreme use bolland's and vandalism by protesters who stormed into the legislative council building. over a period of time so this is something that we should seriously condemn but does not true to say has not responded i have announced the suspension of the bill. and subsequently we have explained and elaborated by suspending the bill at this

point in time with no timetable and no plan to be sume the debate of the bill in the legislative council. well beijing has reacted cautiously to the protests until now after monday's violence china calls for a criminal investigation and a return to order our correspondent much less filling has been covering the protests in hong kong he has more on beijing's reaction. they have condemned the violence there have also condemned foreign interference whenever foreign governments european or american mostly western governments have commented on these events they see this as an interference they see this and tiley as their own affair although they have an international contract binding them to the status of hong kong that's walking a thin line with their own public right now because they do not want a broader discussion about protests but they often cause want to influence the

public opinion in a way that would make people follow their interpretation which is too much democracy leads to chaos so we are seeing a multi-faceted approach here we see the awful new official newspapers who kept news about these clashes yesterday low they would be low the news about the celebrations that were held but they still try of course to influence the public and to prevent a spillover of this wish for democracy onto the chinese mainland. now the u.s. is considering more sanctions on iran washington has made it no secret that it wants to bring iran's oil experts to 0 that means tehran's official export channels are drying up but at the same time and a legal cross border trade in fuel is booming now one of the major routes is between iran and its neighbor pakistan where diesel smuggling is surging now in iran's province of system on and baluchistan

a remote border areas are difficult trip to traverse but they're also difficult to police smuggling diesel has become a rare lucrative business in one of iran's poorest regions fuel is heavily subsidized in iran's local market a leader of diesel costs just 7 cents and pakistan that brings in more than 11 times that amount we take you now to the iran pakistan border with the smugglers carry out their dangerous trade. pickup trucks john these dirt roads in but it's just on the border dividing this remote wild region because of little significance to the smugglers. they see themselves as blue jays good flow freely and illegally from iranian to pakistani but who just on one of the most lucrative products is diesel. 40 liters of gasoline can be carried on a motorbike and owns a smuggler around $3.00. enough to scrape together

a living. interest the dangers of the trade. accidents are frequent smugglers risk not only losing their cargo and transport but also their lives. their legal trade and feel it's also taking place on the high seas. thanks to the coast guard is quick to respond with deadly force. back on the road this video captures the moment police killed a smuggler earlier this year. the incident sparked protests in baluchistan. province is one of the poorest in iran. the sunni population believes it is being discriminated by the shiite led regime. of frustration and poverty rampant on both sides of the border the rough terrain not the police is the only thing slowing down

the smugglers. for more on the story let's bring in shots of july money from asia as a thank you so much for joining us we saw some pretty incredible pictures in that report how organized a smuggling operation. well it exists on both sides of the border the allegation in iran is that the union driven guards are part and parcel of this on the pakistani side it's the front door which is the better military organization charge of it manning the border that they are involved obviously both sides officially deny this but the facts on the ground and the pictures that we have seen speak for themselves that this is pervasive it has been going on for a number of years especially off the sanctions against iran and it is a thriving and risky business he says has that this is been going on for a number of years how much can we attribute this to the u.s.

sanctions this is a jump in this trade so my sense is that after 2213 this has really picked up i've been to the border on the pakistani side and i can tell you. that this is a really impoverished area but they don't have any employment a lot of young men they don't have health facilities or schools clean drinking water. and so they are forced to discount effectivity and it simply cannot go on. unless they be brights to security officials. people on both sides of the border they're connected by kinship. often sunni muslims and vendors demand on pakistani side and plenty of supply on the reunion side it will happen if you look at the pictures that there is a lot of traffic on these roads or a lot of vehicles underway here is it really just diesel that's being transported.

well it's diesel and oil primarily because remember on the pakistani side of the border it's about tolson or more than a 1000 kilometers of it from the provincial capital so for these people. on the provincial capital to branch of government to come to do to help the heavily on goods and services from across the border not just oil but electricity and other smuggling goods and disport of the border is known it's notorious for human smuggling as well as drug smuggling but this trade is obviously required on the pakistani side to smuggling is. because as i said there is plenty of supply from the indian side and huge demand and shortage on the pakistani side if we talk specifically about the oil here what is a ron's interest in curbing the smuggling well obviously iran has long said that. they will not allow the border to be violated for human smuggling

for drug smuggling and for oil but obviously we know that iran is hurting from inside because of the sanctions because of this renewed focus on isolating iran so. there's an allegation that parts of the indian government are turning a blind eye to know as we've just seen in these pictures when they do find out people crossing the border taking millions of barrels of oil from sistani baluchistan province sometimes stop them by force and people have been killed on the iranian side so officially they will see the are taking it seriously even prevented but on the ground it goes on. these shows that giuliani reporting for us thank you very much for your analysis. now we have a new you tube series called tasty taipei meghan lee went to the taiwanese capital
