a short while ago in oscar's him about that surprise visit by the iranian foreign minister. french officials here said they had positive discussions and we know from german chancellor angela merkel that serif was invited on a french initiative but in light off the deposit of discussions that leaders had last night here a over dinner everyone agreed that the tensions with iran should be east and that message was passed on to the iranian foreign minister prison my comment up with him even before the summit they met met again today and the reigning foreign minister himself concluded that it's a tough road ahead but it's worth a try ok ok how realistic is it that nikon's efforts to deescalate the situation will walk it's been of course a surprise move here by my call but it's

a way for you want a smart move to show the president of the united states that dialogue is possible that you can talk to the uranian it is a right has been a so far as the closest step to resolve this this diplomatic deadlock ever since the u.s. walked away from the iran nuclear accord in the 1st full day of the summit is wrapping up as it didn't receive any one of the main takeaways from today. well let's start with world trade what is something the g 7 is particularly known for there was a moment of hope here really when president on the trump talked about 2nd thoughts and regrets looking at the escalation of the relations with china but then the white house corrected it and said it was a misinterpretation actually what the president meant was let's say to poor a more oil into the fire rather than less so slap tougher sanctions on china bad
11:04 pm
news for the other 6 member state heads of state here at the she 7 table bad news also for boris johnson who had to acknowledge today that the prospect of a cracks a deal was touch and go and so the only really tangible result that came out was a new deal on the sahil zone 5 states in africa will get money and training for military forces in order to fight terrorism and in a way that is why michael has put this on the agenda knowing that there is so such such big rifts on the big topics of trade. on iran that he broadens the agenda to an extent that some positive news will come out and those positive news are today that this that particularly germany and france are ramping up their security efforts in africa gag matters for us in berets thanks don. and us take

people in the village of vic north 75 years ago at a commemoration ceremony spoke out against nationalism and racism. violence has flared in hong kong once again after pro-democracy activists took to the streets for a 12 straight weekend the protest started at the beginning of the summer when hong kong's chief executive proposed a confraternity controversial extradition bill that was later shelved but the movement has since expanded to demand hong kong's independence from china the 1st time since protests broke out a gunshot was fired. on the barricades wearing hard hats and gas mosques the protesters held rocks and bricks at riot police the offices responded with rounds of tear gas. the clashes continued into the
11:07 pm
evening protesters attacked the police with roads and sticks to demonstrate his chased the officers down the street calling them gangsters and then this. sounds like a gun shot a local t.v. station said its reporters sorry uniformed police officer fire shots in the air i was was we had thing a low in violence like this on the streets of hong kong up until this weekend this time last week protests organizers say 1700000 people marched peacefully through the streets of hong kong this weekend with seeing a very different atmosphere. protests to say they changed tactics because they felt the government was not listening. to the people beat beat beat beat beat there very peaceful protests by the government this robbie's while that's why we go to go
11:08 pm
on the street there and maybe some poor. thing that we brought the road that's why the boy that fired the tear gas and i and i just want. to know or. care and greet yeah. it seems the police are also changing tactics in response for the 1st time groups of cannons rolled through the streets threatening to drench the protest is not. the case of arrested more than 700 people since protests began in june more protest is risking arrest to make their voices heard. now one reason protesters took to the streets of hong kong this weekend was that mistrust of a new style of lampposts that has sprung up across the city these lampposts are equipped with surveillance technology and ledge to have links to chinese tech phones and on saturday protesters used an electric suit to cut through at least one
11:09 pm
lamp post to bring it to the ground off to fears that it was a quick with facial recognition cameras that could be used by law enforcement now to hong kong government said that the 50 so-called smart light lighting poles were put in place to collect data on traffic and weather and many allege that the government is not telling the whole truth. and our reporter on me and he said has been looking into the control the sea surrounding these lampposts for us i mean protesters think that the government is using these posts to spy on people what evidence do they have well there was controversy surrounding his lamppost when they were 1st introduced in the spring because they're actually full of data collecting technology that's their purpose the government says that the technology is only being used to track traffic pollution whether things like this but the protesters obviously don't trust them especially in a time right now and beijing for example is very interested in who are out there on the streets so when they cut down this poll as we saw earlier live physically
11:10 pm
taking it right to the ground they were able to break open the casement there and look what's inside there and have a look back get their hands on and see for themselves and what they did there's nothing super surprising that the government had said was in there but they were able to take pictures and post it online. which has created a lot of speculation about what these devices actually are what their function is one of the devices that caused the most controversy was actually a big locator you can see it here right now it's a device that allows the system to track bluetooth devices so if you are walking by you have your cell phone on and your bluetooth is turned on then the lamppost would know that you're there and could recognize you yeah could even possibly see that it's your phone and identify you which is easier than facial recognition technology actually and after it was put on line people speculated that the company that made it tick tack tech actually has links to showing high base company which would be mainland china i just was alleged anyway and have we heard any response from the
11:11 pm
hong kong government that well the hong kong government maintains as they had before that none of this technology is being used to identify protesters anything like this they have the technology in there but they said they've restricted it but actually now that these devices have created controversy online they actually issued a statement about this b.l.u. locator saying that the allegations that it was linked to a mainland china technology company are false the company is local small enterprise based in hong kong from from hong kong has and that means they're implying that the data is not going to be sent to beijing for further analysis i'm said briefly then i suppose the question is is there actually any evidence that the hong kong government may be hiding something well this is not so different from what you might find in new york city or even in berlin but it depends on how much you trust the hong kong government as we can see right now that the protesters don't trust them at all times indeed on the offensive thank you very much indeed thank you. and the museum commemorating the neighbor ration of paris from the nazis 75 years ago
