wherever we still have the fight right in the hot weather we us, so this is where we can still to serve our pre freedom by our own action authority seemed determined to stop people gathering police had been the vigil for the 2nd year in a row, citing cobit safety restrictions, although other mass gatherings, including at amusement parks, have resumed organizer see hong kong vigil as a symbol of freedom in the chinese territory. it's not just about commemorating the protest of 989 put about being able to just sit and to be able to call for an end to one party war. no question that they go from one to replicate. not insisting on some slogan, awesome. some principle, the risk is what we are doing. sincerely fighting for the end of one party dictatorship day. we will always do that with. john was one of the few leaders of

hong kong pro democracy movement. not all ready behind bars. come in, her breast puts a constant battle activist under even more pressure. and we have team coverage of this story. phoebe kong is in hong kong and mathias spelling. i joined the from beijing. phoebe, you're close to where people traditionally gather for the now band chinaman square . been to tell us what's happening around you right now. there's a now sending just me just the way block right from the victoria park, where traditionally hundreds of 1000 people gather inside of coffee commemorates the tenement massacre anniversary this year with the fans light by police. but like the lawyer enforcement has actually deployed several thousands offices to cause every place, recall 9 phone call and just his family and the kind of commemoration. and just

hours ago, police tries to disperse anyone, including a journalist and bystanders. like what have a case on the top, we couldn't even say, advocates off david cox, but now people are resorting to more innovative and more stop co ways to commemorate them the anniversary that all the streets. we have seen people switching on the lights off the move out and holding those 2 more in the victims, also 10 and 10 am and anniversaries and also some of them. they play post outside the park. so they saw some of the ways that they won't just the same. the activism and also some of the churches are hold private, visual, or even like commemorations service. putting the premises, i'm active as they try to kind of fit food to this to be can those to help or just to try to sustain they're very challenging activism here on the ground,

hong kong. but of course, we have been receiving warning from the authorities throughout the day. they want people not to try to like challenge the red line. so we're seeing defiance courage. but phoebe, we just saw a child hanging tongue in our report, that the organizer of the vigil and she was arrested earlier today. is that making people in hong kong more fearful? much how home? no, 37 year old lawyer has been one of the prominence activists and leave those off the, the child, me, chinese human rights activism and also the local activism in hong kong for a long period of time. so her arrests on these very sensitive phase like which blocks the coast in china is actually perceived, says a warnings test by the authorities to the lock with. and also the general public us

a hold that they thought is, are not tolerate thing, tolerating any kind of like individual commemoration. like even though will not allow anyone to define like, drawn by them. but the size seems you haven't read it. it's heard every one in hong kong that a lot of people they want to all show that if i is the public to, to like to play the how the thought is that they will not be dead. i just because of these kind of fact. okay. mathias, if we can turn to you just basing allow any acknowledgement at all or commemorate ition of the massacre on the mainland. no, all. all come admiration of this day on the mainland band or public comment moderation. the only thing people can do is to more privately or to remember

privately, people have been trying every year. there are some people who try to do at least something. and for example, to post candles on social media. we are hearing from people that their accounts have been suspended because they have posted a candle there, there were some very direct phrases talking about the weight of history. for example, that have been sends that so social media is closely monitored and there is of course, no public whatsoever display of grief to day here in beijing, the people who are usually the defiance, for example, the mothers of those students who have been killed. they have been close surveillance, so there is no public display of these as one person told me here in china ones,

this state, the 4th of june, does not exist in china. all right, let's see a spelling in beijing mc become in hong kong. thank you so much. take a look back at what happened on june. the 4th 1989 on chinaman square has several weeks leading up to that day. the square had become a focal point to protest against economic hardship and corruption. students also gathered to demand democratic rights and freedoms from the communist government. by june, the false chinese leaders sent in troops to crush the demonstrations. footage of a loan protest standing in front of a line of tanks has become one of the most enduring symbols of violence. no one knows exactly how many people were killed, some say hundreds. others say thousands. and we were, she was one of the leaders of the student pro democracy movement and try not a china on cannon square today. he lives in taiwan. and earlier we asked him if

people saw the massacre coming in 1909989 was nobody could have seen that coming. chinese government has conducted a long time propaganda that the government, the communist government is the people, the government. and then the spending troops of china, people's liberation army is people's army in 1989. i think nobody can anticipate that they real standing folks will using real ammunition should at the peaceful protesters along, letting 10 roll over them. so it came up. you came as a major surprise, a major shock to be a 1000000000 chinese and germany's most senior catholic cleric has offered his resignation to pope francis. germany is cotton. the line hot marks says he must

share responsibility for what he called the catastrophe. sexual abuse by members of the catholic church in his remarks, he admitted to personal failures as well as institutional and systemic failure. marks has been a leading voice from the call for church reforms. his resignation comes just weeks after the pope ordered or review of several of germany's sex abuse scandal within the church. initial investigations show, decades of cover up by the clergy. and cardinal mach spoke a little earlier as a press conference that's taken. listen now to what he said is good for me, him can get a hold of me for me. this is about taking joint responsibility for what happened inside the church home, which is opposed to provide space for healing for hope and confidence, and horror about the fact that inside our churches, this amount of sexual abuse took place on 6 will at least part of one of let's get more on this developing story with religious affairs expert john, very strong,

thanks for joining us. and why did cardinal marks resign and why now? but any letters offering his resignation to the pope, he gives the impression that he is disgusted with the very slow progress of reforms within the church. and specifically with regard to the child abuse scandal. on the other hand, one has taught to see that he's under considerable fire himself for having not investigated the case of a priest in his own diocese, the diocese of tree at the time, 2006 accused of child abuse. and that was really only brought the public attention 2 months ago by the media. so he is under fire, and his letter of resignation mentions personal failure. but it's packed away in a, in a letter that is really a distress signal about failure within the systems failure within the institution.

and one, his critics would say that he is deflecting criticism from himself, personal criticism to the institution. how big of a deal is this resignation and how important a figure is cardinal marks in the hierarchy of the catholic church. it's a bunch show. cardinal marks is not in the athenian bishop in germany. he is. he's president of the e u. conference of catholic bishops and he belongs to the smallest most select group of people advises. so this is, this is a decision request for his resignation that will have echoes throughout the catholic church everywhere in the world. it's a little bit puzzling to me the logic of this though, because this is a man whose spend all his adult life in the catholic church. i didn't much of it in positions of great or and he says in his letter,

he talks about author optimistically about the need for reforms. and it seems to me very strange that a man in the situation can draw the conclusion that he personally is not in some way responsible to assist these reforms he wants to resign. would it be fair to say that the catholic church is right now in a major crisis, both here in germany and around the world? well, certainly in europe and in north america, it is in a crisis. i think that is the church has not experience since the protestant reformation in the 16th century. and cardinal marks is presenting himself as, as a reformer. but his critics would say, perhaps there's also a very food korea move. because in fact is the logical positions are quite conservative. he's opposed to women being ordained priests. he's opposed to the blessing of same sex marriages and many other issues associated with traditionalists. he hasn't author,

you author hasn't resigned his position often to resign as a select advisor to the pope. and if he simply resigns, as the bishop of munich, we may well find him. a landing up with a, with a very even more influential position of the vatican. i'm sure they watching the repercussions of this closely. i'm very religious have, has that. thank you very much. let's take a look now, some of the other stories making news around the world. russian president vladimir putin says the 1st line of the north stream to gas pipeline, to germany has been laid speaking as an economic form and st. petersburg. he disputed that russia was unconcerned by climate change and said moscow supported the paris climate accord. good graces, the gun vaccinating people against the corona virus. that micro camp on the island . athens has come under criticism by rights, groups for being slow to vaccinate asylum seekers at risk in overcrowded camps.

a cna position leader also warns of k g b brutality. and the severity of the danger that protest savage is in we know that louis visited rahman and sophia the told that i'm on is a key. but you know, it's doubtful because for sure he was tortured for surely he was beaten. and in all he, of course, he has to be released the same as hundreds of other prison on political motivated prisoners the arrest of practice. having caused an international outcry, western countries accused bella was of hijacking the ryan or flight which was forced to land by a military jet interception. heavy sanctions are being imposed on bella ruth, by both the us and the e. u. in the hope that this will lead to the release of the journalist and other

political prisoners seeking a sky is taking part and talks concerning these sanctions in poland, where hundreds of fellow resumes are protesting. president lucas shane close regime . just a few of many across europe. i raged by the tactics. lucas shank o is using to silence his critics. hello, it was w. new still to come. we take you to munich one of the host cities for next week european football championships. today it's been confirmed. the $14000.00 fans will be allowed to attend each of the much anticipated matches. now, as we mentioned, little earlier, greece has begun rolling out its vaccination program to people living in migrant camp from the a g and islands. the government and athens has come under criticism by rights, great being slow to vaccinate asylum seekers. they say that over crowding and

unsanitary conditions inside refugee camps increase the risk of contracting the current of iris. grease began vaccinating the general public back in january and we joined now by katie fallon, a journalist who focuses on migration. and it was just come back from the greek island of les both. thanks for joining us, casey. why did it take so long to get back to nations for the people in the camp started? well official say that because april, the majority of people living in the camp, the younger they want on the top, the priority list. but they were always planned and it was time to start in may that justification for you just talking now. katy, what's that been like living in a camp during the pandemic? and will this vaccination roll out now help make things better?

of income. how people feeling, i mean it's a vaccine hesitancy amongst the people who are they simply desperate to get back to neighborhood official save. it's around 15 percent who are interested and they say that they believe that once people start getting back and they said that when i've spoken with people living in some accounts and they are quite concerned about, i think because i haven't been enough information. so given that i think they thing they said they will get vaccinated, respect and cheese because their friends are i think that the hope that that that will but that will grimes but they have been you know, people living in these come tired of it hasn't been the biggest issue for them, they have issues with our side that was living in
