4:12 pm
protests originally started in opposition to a bill that could see hong kong defend this extradited to mainland china for trial here's what beijing spokesman have to say you leave bush was younger i was quite a few hong kong residents know little about the situation on the mainland and its legal and judicial systems they may have doubts about the proposed amendments so some individuals and media organizations without syria motives have been scaremongering based on these doubts to stoke public panic and obstruct the adoption of the bill we. need. hong kong's pro-democracy lawmakers have responded to beijing's comments here's what one legislator had to say also regret very much a debate in the fish shows a condescending manner that they make it so obvious that they are talking down
4:13 pm
to hong kong a word about one country 2 systems is nothing wrong with it and especially when they mention rule of law they sung very much as a rule of law was in the in their pocket and that attitude of the law kind of approach it it's just unsettling. well i spoke to didn't your correspondent my t.s.p. in hong kong earlier and i asked him where things stood in hong kong after the intense clashes between police and demonstrators over the weekend. remnants of the yesterday's clashes have been quickly cleared you can see maybe it's obstructed not by this car over there but to some places they are rebuilding the pavement because protesters have taken out bricks but that's pretty much the only damage that we see after these protests these were really clashes between people between the police and the protesters we have seen enormous amounts of tear gas fired there were
4:14 pm
clouds around all these places the place where i'm standing now is one of the one of the centers where all these clashes have happened the metro station that we just saw in these pictures is just over there on the corner so. if this was an escalation it was an escalation from the side of the police who were early and on and on it big amounts using tear gas rubber bullets than before and we've also seen an escalation from the side of the protesters who are now more willing to use. metal rods and other hot objects to attack the police and this speaks of course of something underlying the divide in society the discontent with this government by big parts of society and especially by the more radical protesters is growing we are going to see this continue right to these materials spending
4:15 pm
a reporting for us in the hong kong thank you for that insight. now at least 20 people are dead in a couple follow how a band of surgeons and the so-called islamic state are active in the afghan capital sunday was the 1st official day of the country's presidential campaign the vote is scheduled for september. well after nearly 2 decades of conflict the people of afghanistan are still struggling to find stability children at school have never known peace so life has never been easy for them but what school in the bonnie and region is succeeding against the odds charbonneau and her classmates have been walking for an hour and a half already their route to school involves negotiating rough and steep mountain a spats but it's the only school in the area doesn't much that i have to walk a long way every morning but i know high lucky we are right in the country there are a lot of children who have no chance of going to school well. it's the end of the
4:16 pm
school year and they're taking their exams the boys and girls are outside so no one can copy from anyone else the classrooms are far too small so how many are going to pass the exams so the goal will be i'm sure that they are all going to pass their exams the best level of the. one at that and. the pass rates are high here although the standards are no lower than elsewhere and they've been achieved in a school a long way from any large cities and surrounded by mountains. it's a place where getting an education leading to a good job might seem a distant dream the younger students can stay inside to escape the heat there's no electricity here no heating in winter no photocopier and they can only dream of computers so how did 90 percent of students here make it to college
4:17 pm
campus and vote because everyone sticks together here. well we had heavy rain the roof was leaking all the parents donated money although they hardly have any themselves after that we could repair the roof. shards home a small farm with a little land and a cow so hard mother and father are proud of her they never had the chance to learn basic literacy skills and they could use our hearts help on the farm. i can't read or write. i never saw a school from the inside i want my children to have it better than i and my wife did and then. education is only one of many problems afghans face in this remote part of the country only 5 percent of parents here can read and write and shahar school boys and girls learn together the director says it makes no difference.
4:18 pm
they are equally intelligent. the school day comes to an end the children face another 2 hour walk home over difficult terrain at least there's one less threat here the taliban have avoided barmy on the open mind in this of both the headmaster and the parents isn't taken for granted but being seen as a model the rest of afghanistan could follow. that what's a wildly popular video game that is played by hundreds of millions of people worldwide and now fortnight has its 1st ever world champion new york hosted the fortnight world cup this weekend with 16 year old american gamer kyle cura start taking on the top prize of $3000000.00 he was one of many players from around the world competing in a packed stadium that otherwise hosts the u.s. open tennis tournaments. all right our social media editor carl nasmyth has been following the story for us
4:19 pm
hi carl ok let's talk about the money here top prize $3000000.00 total prize pool of $30000000.00 how do we get in on the action where to place a little younger 1st of all for your kid is a lot of money is the largest prize pool ever for sports tournaments and i think in many ways this world cup was really meant to be a statement that fortnight in any sports in general are here to stay and that they are a big deal i mean this had nearly every facet of a traditional sporting event i mean there was a huge stadium as you can see there with scores of people watching tens of thousands of people who had over 100 competitors in this tournament live announcers of fans watching all over the world in fact in the 9000000 people streamed the event on you tube in just the final day. for those who don't know what for the idea is you can see a little bit of the action here it's a battle royale game players land on the island you build bases you find weapons
4:20 pm
and you centrally fight until there is one person left standing as we heard there was a lot of money involved in this time around sumi to put that into perspective i mean even when you compare it to a quote unquote real sport so $3000000.00 here for the winner the winners of the u.s. open tennis tournament which will be held in that exact same stadium they will take home just under $4000000.00 so it's nearly the same as what i don't know serene and williams my mind when i mean a lot of money so what does that tell us about sports you said they're here to stay are they really going i mean if you look at the bottom line if you look at the money i think they are globally professional video game competitions will make 1000000000 dollars this year alone the maker of fortnight is called epic games they had a profit of 3000000000 dollars last year so they can afford to throw out $30000000.00 units that's nothing for them right i don't think the sports are ready to compete with the n.f.l. with champions league soccer for instance but i don't think that's the real competition here. aiming at the younger audience they want the teenagers who have
4:21 pm
a bit of a shorter attention span they want to stream their games they don't want to sit down and watch things on the couch they want things to happen will get faster this is something they can relate to that's the market that e-sports are going for ok so what are the parents think about this because on the one hand there are teenagers are spending a lot of time in front of a computer or online but on the other hand you do have them making millions overnight did your mom let you play a video game else no i didn't either and that's the question you should these kids be in school why are they spending so much time playing video games it's harder now i think for parents to tell their kids that when they see ok this could actually be a real career path i mean here's one example so this is the 2nd place finisher in the pairs competition here he is with his mother he's 15 years old he will be taking home something like $1300000.00 his mom says that it took her a long time to accept that her son wanted to be a professional a video game player in fact at one point she threw out his x. box that's how much how little she wanted him to play
4:22 pm
a reality check though 40000000 people wanted to qualify for this tournament about 100 of them made it you can do the math those are not good odds for becoming a millionaire just like if you want to be a professional soccer player i think it's the same things these are really the best of the best these are the best of the best and only the best will be making $3000000.00 that's when our social media editor looking into fortnight for us thanks so much now to motor sports and next for stop and won a chaotic german grand prix on sunday securing a 2nd victory of the season rain was a huge factor causing a number of crashes for ari sebastian fattal made the most of the difficult conditions but it was a disastrous day for the mercedes team. after a perfect start it looked like it was going to be another dominant performance from drivers lewis hamilton and fox having both tests but the rain soaked track cools huge problems with cause sliding off course. the safety car was called out 4 times
4:23 pm
and the teams struggled to find the right tires for the changing conditions championship leader lewis hamilton also spawn off and then drove right across the track and the grass into the pits where he caught his team off guard and spent nearly a minute on the stop. he was then handed a 5 2nd penalty for the way he entered the pits hamilton's teammate protests crashed out towards the end of the race sealing a miserable day for miss a days to muster that's what was 4th at this stage and had his sights set firmly on the podium he tossed 2 drivers in style to secure his brother up spot. red bulls max 1st up and cruised to victory but vettel was the star of the show at his home grand prix coming from last all the way up into seconds it was a long ride having at some stage felt like a bad liver was a lot of fun it's very tough but the conditions are very tough to read was that the
4:24 pm
smartest move but. yeah i'm just as happy for the 1st time this season a podium without any missing these drivers. all right and golf books kept us showed why he's the world's best player by winning the w g c tournaments in memphis kept the hit 3 birdies in 4 holes to move past overnight leader worry mcelroy the american i kept the early momentum going throughout his round he ended up 3 shots clear of his nearest challenger and 5 clear of mcelroy it's the 1st world golf championship title of his career. now in the welsh capital cardiff a football tournament kicked off on sunday that aims to help homeless people back onto their feet some 500 competitors from around the world are representing their nations in the 17th homeless world cup. the $500.00 players competing in the
