the who's this is the, the, the news life from berlin police in hong kong. the rest of prominent activists on the anniversary of each animal square massacre. chow hung, told, is known for organizing thousands of people to turn out. and remember, the 1989 violence invasion. the w spoke with her shortly before her arrest. also on the program. when germany's most senior catholic, a clergyman office, the focus resignation, the archbishop of munich capital, reinhardt, marks that says, he shall responsibility for the call, the catastrophe of sexual abuse by clerics over the past decade. and mexico faces

what is likely to be its largest election on sunday with debbie attacks on nearly 90 politicians based years, many wondering whose really challenge ah i feel, gail, welcome to the program. today marks the anniversary of beijing is $989.00 gentlemen square massacre authorities in hong kong band, an annual vigil, 4 victims for a 2nd year. despite this several 100 people did gather near victoria park, and thousands of police were deployed across the city and they made multi for the rest. a light to remember lives lost

knocked out just moments later. but the resistance of hong kong is proving more difficult to extinguish all star to band and annual visuals for the victims of the 1989 piano men's graham massacre for the 2nd here in a row they cited close it safety restrictions. although other mass gatherings like concerts and football matches have resumed, well, once a constellation of candles lit up, the sky now lies empty. neither the ban nor the threat of a 5 year prison sentence has deterred people from turning out in the streets. hundreds carry license or shine lights from their mobile phones all day since the whole thing we were being very peaceful. we only laid out candles to commemorate and they found a hold on them because they're accusing us of violating so many different laws.

it's an abuse of their power to detain everyone and to silence everyone come though noticeably absent this year was vigil organize a child hung who was arrested by plain clothes. police are legit crime. promoting unauthorized assembly weeks ahead of the 32nd anniversary of the channels and square uprising. the organization, hong kong alliance and led by charles, began promoting the commemoration ciao at the time, highlighted its importance. it's actually gone beyond just the, remember on time. and it also goes to the heart of what hong kong, whether we still have the fight, try to know whether we are still missing. we are, we can still piece of our pre freedom by our own action. it's the question, protest is, are asking themselves, faced with an intensifying correct down from beijing fighting for democracy. he's getting hotter reinhardt,

the booty cofer is chair of the european parliament china delegation. i asked him whether the e u is doing enough to count to human rights abuses in china. it is not sufficient and everything that we're doing as activists as parliamentarians, that some businesses are doing and dissociating themselves from the oppressive practices, is not sufficient. because the author or a terry in nature is so overwhelmingly strong that we have to do more. but i'm glad that there are these efforts. i'm glad that there is an official position. i'm glad that people have organized online the rules to commemorate and to make sure everybody understands that them are craddick spirit cannot be killed. right? so what's more, what is top of your list? what more should be you do about it's dealing with china. what,

what is the thing that is missing as far as you're concerned? well, that's a wide range. let me focus on hong kong. i would advocate as the european parliament has done in the past that we should align with other like minded countries and create an informal hong kong contact group of countries that want to alert international public opinion to what is going on in all what we dropped because i understand what you said, but you'd form a contact group. you tell the world the world knows what more should be you. as an entity do was not finished. just let it continue. i would add to look at the contact group. it's not just

a superficial thing. it, it means that we demonstrate that we take that as a pertinent issue, not just for the past, but also for the future. that means we take on the obligation to return to the topic, to raise it international fora. and monta allowed events that is something that diplomatically carries weight. in addition to that, we should offer more opportunities for people from hong kong that do not want to live under the oppression to take advantage of lifeboat mechanisms to, to give them a safe harbor. in addition, we should a put human rights sanctions on some individuals in hong kong that stand out as administrators of the authoritarian oppression, as the european parliament has argued in the past. right. and that in carry lab.

that's very clear, sir. thank you so much for joining us, ron hot golf. i am paying share of the delegation for relations with china. thanks robbing. let's take a look now. some of the other stone is making news around the world. we're starting nigeria, where the government is suspended twitter indefinitely. the move comes after the social media giant removed a post from president mohammed who bu, hiring that threatened to punish and regional session is information minutes a lie? mohamad said the government has acted because twitters activities were capable of undermining nigeria corporate existence, agreement. native greek has begun to vaccinate people against the corona, virus and migrant camps. on the g and islands, athens spend no heavily criticized by rights groups for being slow to vaccinate asylum seekers. race can overcrowded camps. regional data transformation campaigned to the general public in january the father of detained valor,

ruthie. an activist press savage has joined the key figures in the opposition movement in saying that his son appeared on state tv under duress. that's a protest rich and his girlfriend being in detention since the 23rd of may when their flight was forced to land. in germany's most senior catholic cleric has offered his resignation to pope francis. cardinal reinhardt mark says he must share responsibility for what he called the catastrophe of sexual abuse by members of the catholic church. during his remarks, he admitted to personal faintness, as well as institutional and systemic shortcomings. carcinoma has been a leading voice in the call for church reform. his resignation comes just 2 weeks after the pope ordered a review of several execute scandals within the catholic church in germany. initial investigations show, decades of cover by clergy who here is cardinal mark speaking to the

pressed today. get your museum candle home, me for me. this is about taking joint responsibility for what happened inside the church. home the place which is opposed to provide the space for healing for hope and for them. and the horror about the facts that inside our churches, this amount of sexual abuse took place on 6 will miss poach. let's talk more about this with these religious affairs correspondent martin. welcome martin. i found the clerics comments slide critical. what did he saying that he did or that he failed to do or that? or is he saying that he try to do something? i'm a catholic church stopped him. i. i don't really understand what he's getting. i think that the point that it's being made is that a serious attempt was made. and i think that the reference was very clearly made by march to what is now known as the bus. which was that led by murray. it's mostly

democratizing essentially the jer from in the church, a sort of bringing in late to have the conversations and bringing other groups that were discussing, for instance, women into clergy, and discussing the blessing of sexual couples and so on and so forth. the backlash from the ultra conservative side of the church, particularly among people like raman, burke in vicky with sort of florida in some sense. it's part of the same ideological alignment with that bishop of call and what's, what's quite strong. i think that what you're seeing now specifically with mary going out and saying that this is a way for him to actually take responsibility for what has happened. it's something that should be read as to what to consider to be the necessary steps for taking responsibility for what the church has done, which as he put said, it's not just a matter of administration matter of protocol, but it's really a matter of essentially demick failures of their going station a such. so in

a way the question that i think it's posing is, should other people be following suit and getting out of the church who we been for for what for their failures. we know that the catholic church has this problem with the way it has dealt with sexual abuse. that's barely a year goes by where someone where another abuse at doesn't come to light. so if the resignation of this senior cardinal within germany explain to us how big a deal this is or if it's a big deal or is it just another step this long road of, of an enormous organization mishandling abuse? i think this is a very big deal. i mean, obviously, you know, if you're not following church politics, this is not a household name. but nonetheless, what is absolutely clear is that the structure of the german church politics which really extend beyond germany because matter of fact, they have

a method footprint on but you can but you can politics really. the margin group which are very progressive with people like very key in, in court until the fact that he has been accused of hiding information, even from the article about sexual abuse over the last couple of years. and he has been go to resign. he has come under incredible criticism, but he has not left and that no marks that has really boost for must have reform within the church, particularly the german church is going out saying that essentially the church has to make amends and whatever the church is doing, it's not enough things to actually be very clear signal to what you would expect people like you to be doing. and very likely, it's also a statement about the fact that he can not really stay in the same kind of political context, which is really the top of the church hierarchy. when people like, well,

you're actually still operating there. of course, the interpretation. but the science are actually very strong. right? that's very clear. thank you for that d w. religious offense correspond martin get your welcome. are slow. no small after nice top stories. a g 7. health ministers have met in britain for 2 days of talks about code 19, during which they agreed to increase coordination in order to prevent future threats and pandemic. but there were no new commitments to speed up the vaccine delivery to poor countries. so he also focused on global health security and digital health clinical trials. russian president vladimir putin says the 1st line of the north stream to gas pipeline to germany has seen life speaking as an economic forum in st. petersburg disputed the assertion that russian was unconcerned by climate change said. moscow supported the paris climes cord. notice to the boy, facebook has suspended donald trump from its platform until at least january 2023.

the social media giants independent oversight board upheld its block on the former us president, which was imposed holler in january is right at the us capital of the concerns that is post inside the vice almost a 100000000 mexicans are expected to vote on sunday and the biggest election, the country's history, these mid terms will see the election of 500 deputies to congress as well as governors and met. the poles will take place against a background of political violence that includes murder, almost 90 politicians, all candidates have been killed since last september. it was well traveling along this road that yvonne guy egos was murdered. she'd been hoping to represent a town in the south of mexico in the upcoming elections. but in march she withdrew from the race because of increased threat. just 2 days later,

she was assassinated. her husband has already been murdered in 2015 and yet that hadn't put her off politics. years as the go movie. she always said he owes nothing. he actually is nothing ever been since last september, almost 90 politicians, including many who would choose to stand in some days election have been killed by the us and there have been numerous other recess a nation attempts merrill candidate k year more, valencia is now always accompanied by bodyguards off to an attack last month can be able to change your life because you have to ride in an arm a call when you're not used to it. you have to be careful because you don't know what's going to happen. although no one is sure who's behind the political violence,

the finger was being pointed, organized, crime gangs, including drug cartels that still exist on the many municipalities. the elections are increasingly a game of life and death, which i think is a fundamental problem of what's happening in mexico. it can't be that is a candidate, but if you run in an election thinking you're going to die next young friends and look at somebody, mexico's president to andrea manuel lopez abra door has promised candidates protection. but he's also fighting his own battles. although he's not up for reelection himself, many in his political party, marina. ah, the contests will decide whether the left wing party and its allies keep the 2 thirds majority in the lower house of congress. the president is still popular, but his administration has been criticized for its handling of the corona virus

pandemic on the mexican economy is also struggling its crime though that still top of voters concerns illustrated yet again, in an election campaign, beset by violence. some things that the loved ones of yvonne guy egos know all too well. let's take a closer look at this journalist, a sandra vice to join us from san pedro lula, which is south east of mexico city. welcome to the w. why hasn't the government been able to prevent so much deadly violence? well, he actually promised to replace the war on caught by a thread that she, he called hacks, not bullets, but he wasn't able to deliver it. he had quite a contradictory handling of the violence. he has on one hand, military fire and security and strength and an office that is fighting money laundering. but on the other hand, he dismantled important institutions. adjust the system, for instance,

an independent prosecutor's office. so his critic say he hasn't any clear strategy at all. and so how much of these mid terms being seen as a referendum on the presidential president open the door? and indeed, out of his handling of the pandemic. while mexico's president didn't take the pandemic very seriously at the beginning, he never ordered strick nationwide, lockdown, for instance. so mexico had really high death toll, but then he bought on early stage many vaccines. and so mexico was able to start resonation as soon as december, up to now about 25 percent of the elderly have received of exceed and surveys show that those people are very grateful to administration and that they are prone to vote for marlena. so his strategy finally has backfired to him. right. so what is it? mexico is often often portrayed as a country that is in the, in the,

in the pay of the drug cartels with an infrastructure with a legal infrastructure that doesn't work and indeed is corrupt. and yet they're expecting record numbers of people to turn out to vote for, for mass and people in parliament. why is that in? well, we'll see if there are record masses running out to vote for him. but usually mexico, both parties are very well organized to have a good machine. so they are really able to take us out on the election day. and this is quite a tradition in mexico. and so probably we'll see this mobile big for my lation by the parties on the actually on sunday. and so what sort of future candidates, promising mexicans when the president defenses to 3rd majority in congress and hoped to win over some of the 15 govern us in order to continue his for the roach act, which is

a kind of odd mixture between central listing and social democratic pattern all isn't. and the opposition hopes to control the congress in order to stop or at least hinder him from advancing on what they think is a dangerous and author retiring restoration and a setback for mexico democracy. so i think the fight between dues the those to wish and visions the likely continue after the elections are talking to you. thank you so much for joining us, sandra, vice a. san pedro, luna. thank you. this is the w, siphoned. burly stilled can, will take you to munich, one of the hosting for next week's european football championships. today it's been confirmed, the $14000.00 fans will be allowed to attend each of the much anticipated matches for so a drop in corona virus cases and long awaited warmer temperatures, made the residence of germany's capital out in force. now that berlin, they say

a few wanted old 12 cities to guarantee fans could attend matches. dublin then bowed out. bill bow was replaced by seville and the bavarian capital would love to confirm its participation. mean it kept us guessing for a while, but eventually they gave the green light for, for matches to be played here. so let's take you inside one of the euros venues. fans arriving at the leon. serena will undergo a number of strict hygiene controls. wandering in like this won't be possible on match days. this is germany's 2nd biggest stadium. the exterior is covered in nearly $3000.00 inflated panels. it's the 1st stadium in the world with a full color changing facade. usually, this is the home of german reco champion by and munich, who moved here in 2005. germany are going to be playing. all the group matches in

this stadium, which under normal circumstances, can host over 70000 people. but during the euros it won't even be a quarter full due to coven protocols. the city eas restrictions in may, meaning be a garden, like this one are open again. so how do local spiel about welcoming fans? finish? i think it's good. football just isn't the same without fans. it's boring is play his language and middle values in the measures are supposed to cure that. there is no need. tory people follow the rules because they are used to them by now i can hear you social events in the d. m. d, as seems to be a bit, stand the case numbers are so unpredictable and in science we can just hope that a few fans will be there that thankfully puffins device i'm going in. as europe gears up for a cross continental tournament, fans will hope the only surprises they experience will be on the football pitch.
