other respects. this is d.w. news live from berlin clashes erupt again between police and pro-democracy protesters in hong kong as anger continues over a controversial extradition law we go live to hong kong to find out more about the developing situation also coming up france celebrates busfield day with a vast display of pomp and pageantry and military prowess will get the latest from the french capital. and india is just hours away from making spacefaring history

with the launch of its 1st lunar landing if all goes to plan the chandra and to probe we'll explore the south pole of the mood for the 1st time. i marry an ethnicity and it's good to have you with us there have been renewed clashes between pro-democracy protesters have been renewed clashes between police and protesters in hong kong following antigovernment demonstrations pro-democracy protesters retreated into a shopping center after police started clearing the streets some protesters rained a brawl is down on philly's a symbol of the protest movement police used the tongs on the protesters and made several arrests it's the latest unrest after weeks of protests and opposition. to

a proposed extradition a lot of critics say would allow mainland china to encroach on hong kong's semi autonomous status. journalist simon le plateau joins us now from hong kong for the latest there so simon the chief executive of hong kong kerry lamb has said that this proposed extradition law is dead and yet these protests are continuing why are people still taking to the streets indeed that the question of how to and i pulled the whole protest today and what people say is that she said it is dead and she even used a chinese expression for it but she refused to use the word we drove and we drove would have legal consequences where i was the belief that it means ok we cannot promise you that we're not going to pass it but it's still it's still there somehow

so people don't trust the government of hong kong there is a deep distrust and because of that unless until it's officially we've drawn from the program of the late pope didn't you to let it consume do we keep protesting all right so is that their only protest for this bill to be officially withdrawn would that satisfy the demonstrators. no now it after more than a month of protest the demands of protesters have become much whiter and so it starts we'll be withdrawing the bill apart from that now they also want investigation of the police violence that wants the people who have been arrested so far to be released they want the protest not to be labeled riots and even more and the last addition to this long list is they want popular

election so you can see that it has a hobby with a very controversial bill that apparently the government didn't dissipate woods and power going to the people of hong kong so much but now the whole political system hong kong which she said yesterday was also been hearing protesters calling for the resignation of carrie lamb is she likely to bow down to their demands well that's a very interesting question because so far if you clicked she was resisting. and to day the financial times got a scoop of her and he that she offered beijing to resign i kissed a couple times seen the beginning of his protest and the beijing authorities refused and said to her and see that she was to go on because many when no one else could do the job no one else want this job and she should clean up the mess that

she started so she's not likely to resign all right so beijing according to this report is not allowing carolan to resign what is beijing's take on all of these ongoing protests in hong kong and could we see the mainland actually intervene. well we could say that mail and is intervening so far by supporting the government and calling the government for reaction but that sits no we've not going to see. any. well any police force from mainland all the army intervened because hong kong is hong kong this is an international how the fall finance for commerce so it's it's highly unlikely but it's.

we can imagine that beijing is very and better rest and that has been chilled by the fact that for example until recently all the news about what was happening in hong kong was totally censored in the mainland and usually in beijing shanghai so indeed there was absolutely nothing and she will. doesn't face a school when protesters stormed into still need to diligence if you can still and then the violence what shown in the media but that's it journalists sign on the plats have reporting for us from hong kong * thank you so much for. turning to france now where president of monel micron has showcased europe's defense capabilities at this year's festival day parade the focus on european military cooperation on the french national day comes at a time of growing tensions with the united states key leaders including german

chancellor angela merkel join mark on to watch the annual parade down the show on sunday which marks the anniversary of the start of the french revolution speaking after the parade merkel called it a great gesture for a european defense policy. our correspondent lisa lewis was in paris at the parade the theme of today's busy day parade with european friends corporation president call had invited the 19 and the other member states of his so-called european intervention initiative launched about one year ago he wanted to depict himself as the european leader germany's angela merkel one of the guests of honor here today said that this was a great step towards european defense school for ration today's parade was also a further attempt to say that europe can very much stand on its own feet when it

comes to defense and that it doesn't depend that much anymore on the u.s. but a common european defense strategy also means bringing together military doctrine that can differ greatly especially when it comes to germany and france which is much more intervention sevi than its neighbors so it remains to be seen if the idea that has showcased here today will really become reality. well a few hours after a mental makana or a few review of the bust still day parade several 100 yellow vests protesters gathered in the heart of the french capital some of them trying to occupy the show . so he's a blocking the road with metal barricades and debris police then fire tear gas to disperse the crowds which fled to adjacent sprees to regroup prior to sunday's celebrations authorities had banned all protests near the parade venue.

a peaceful protest in car too. sudan rocked by anger again tens of thousands flood english streets once more chanting singing and demanding justice for those killed fighting for democracy blood for blood leads this sign. i say to those who aren't here today you are not a free and honorable sudanese. this too was a timely and noisy reminder to saddam's military council that the masses of all ages will mobilize if their months long campaign for people power is ignored. we came here to be heard and to salute the memory of our martyrs they will not be forgotten they are still with us in the sudanese revolution and we are carrying on until our demands are met with a bit of them again. in

a quieter corner of the capital negotiators were trying to broker an agreement between the military and protest leaders. but plans to sign a hard fought deal were delayed for another day when perhaps once and for all those killed may yet get justice and sudan may yet get 3 elections. now excitement is growing in india as the country prepares to launch its 1st moon landing mission in just a few hours the ambitious chander in 2 includes a robot rover that will explore the lunar surface close to the moon's south pole it will be the 1st mission to probe that region of earth's only natural satellite and a fall goes according to plan it'll touch down on september 6th. and that i am to india's most challenging mission so far a highly complex undertaking. the spacecraft. after should reach its
