2:04 pm
years, it hasn't been enough to overcome decades of neglect. this latest crashes renewed, longstanding, concerns about safety on one of the busiest trail systems in the world. the w. w. bureau chief, i'm regents fema has been following the story for us in a short while ago. i asked her to explain the next steps. now the rescue and recovery efforts have ended of the really ministers was at the sites today. and you said the initial findings from a really commission report is that this was caused by a fluid and will be described as an electronic interlocking system. this is the system which links the signal to the track of this obviously mass function in some way. and therefore you have this. what people are describing is freak accidents involving treat cream. not still, not clear with a dis malfunction was due to human error, or it was a technical issue,
2:05 pm
but that is what is being investigated at the moment. meanwhile, the green green has started the opposite. she wants the government to take accountability for this tragedy. asking for the really minister to be to resign with this accident. and this will still be disturbing on the 4th, which is common. you seen the last year they was a report stable is finally been talking about huge concerns about really safety. the questions will be off what happened to the report? why was this concerns taken seriously? what are the people who lost their loved ones for people who are looking for the last ones who disappeared? well, i'm missing the scores counseling because they just have to wait and see what the final investigation would say. that was the w's. i'm ranta cima. reporting from daylight. i'm re, to thank you so much. i today marks the 34th anniversary of the tenement square crack down,
2:06 pm
which is when chinese soldiers opened fire on peaceful pro democracy protesters and beijing. any mention of the incident is banned in mainland china, but for decades the hong kong was the only place in china where the 1989 massacre was commemorated. well, that has now changed. police have detained several people, marking the anniversary and public vote was arrested was the 67 year old pro democracy activist. alexandra wong, also known as grenville long since beijing and posed at 2020 security law. the one is a ton of his territory of hong kong memorial events marking the killings has been effectively band well with security. so tied down the streets of hong kong. i asked our correspondence fee because how people intended to mark his anniversary a while you're right, it's has been a long tradition. so, hong kong, as to commend the raise they tunes for right here at victoria park when i'm sending
2:07 pm
up like now today us, we have report to light part of the park. let's take a nova by probation organization to hold like some put markets. and part of this was like like, shut down by the government. and so you have seen it's blocked by barricades, by the warranties for some unknown reasons and like that people are like apparently they are resulting to some more low profile and sup to approach us to um, to hold any kind of commemoration. because any form of morning has been more difficult. nearby. yes. is the national security and all of us in post in 2020. that's some people like a web talking. we've spoken to like some shopkeepers to try to keep the white candles at the stores privately. and some dislike, some old news, put a news clippings about, they turn soft incidents inside a book store price at the so so on and so on. the people maybe they try to like,
2:08 pm
um, post the photos out, the candle lights online, and that's the only way that people can still express that dissent. and um, and people are definitely seeking some way more stable ways to do so. all right, so people doing it in a quiet way, but are there other home congress who still intend to actually define the chinese government and somehow mark this anniversary in a public way? yes. a so although they are like definitely the minority of the societies as like most of the people they see a replication. so still there are 2 of them. they are like trying to find a band just like blocks away from where i'm standing right now. like um on the street um over the past 2, i will say i was some individuals. they try to like poke flowers or they just bring a book about 1012 instead of and or the some of them the even slight sauls related to june, soft press now or tend to slow down. it's related to like asking for free,
2:09 pm
that makes sense. but many of them they, they, they like, they couldn't make their way through the pocket let. and then they like, they were like, quickly taken away by police. and today we're talking about some 16 uh, $6000.00 police offices, including some n t terrorism offices patrolling around for our park and across the phone call it so like, so it's an a, some people, it's hard to do so, but this gets the most difficult. yep. idea, so is there then a sense that hong kong protests move in the pro democracy movement has essentially lost the battle? is it accurate to just say that beijing has succeeded in watching the residents long held freedoms completely? no to the past 2 or 3 guesses to national situational was imposed like public gatherings or like any form of coats, have half what you expect to have happen effectively and launch the suppressed the old band like this. yeah,
2:10 pm
no one said to apply for holding any light public events off of the morning the june for so so this can tell the truly a size how it affects the city as a whole, like just in, in such a short period of time. so now like homeless abroad, all like this, it is a broad band trying to carry on this kind of command the ration overseas. like in new york city, like recently there was a gen 4 museum reopens like that is the one like, let's open the off to the one in hong kong was previously shut down by hong kong government so. so on active disease have events like bass will be a form to carry on to come memorize that was correspondence cd con, reporting from hong kong cd. thanks so much. let's get a check. now some of the other stories making headlines, this our, the thousands have gathered across israel to protest the governments. additional reform plans. rallies are entering their 22nd week. protesters said the overall
2:11 pm
would undermine israel's democracy. prime minister benjamin antonia who put the proposed reforms on hold back in march due to widespread opposition. left wing demonstrators and police have clashed in the german city lights to this took place after about 1500 protesters took to the streets. despite a ban on their march, the protest was called after members of the left. this group were sentenced to up to 5 years in prison for organizing violent attacks on neo nazi. a 2 story residential building near the ukrainian city of naperville has been destroyed by a suspected russian. this'll strike officials say 13 people were injured, including 3 children and several others are missing. rescue teams are searching for survivors. one of russia's most renowned icons andre ruble of 15th century.
2:12 pm
trinity has gone on display at the cathedral of christ to save your in moscow. the move from an art gallery was ordered last month by president vladimir putin raising concerns that the artifact might be damaged. is the same as a sign of the russian orthodox churches. growing in fine. i'll explain of all me is russia's most prominent opposition figure he's known for his strong samsung corruption and openly criticising the russian government of all name was 1st barred from running for office. then he was poisoned with a chemical nerve agent and later imprisoned to this day he remains behind bars and faces further charges that could see him locked up for almost 3 decades. well, today is an evolving his birthday and in cities around the world, people are gathering on central squares to show their support for and of only and
2:13 pm
also for russians, opposition. all right, let's bring and dw is former moscow corresponded emily, sherwin who is joining us from reagan a know to our viewers, dw has been operating from lots of yet since russian authorities band our journalist from working in their country. emily get to see you. so as we have just mentioned, russians around the world living abroad are gathering today in support of opposition . i'll explain the vall need, but just how much support does this opposition leader have within russia itself or well, i guess the short answer is it's, it's really hard to know when it comes to hard numbers. there are some numbers from state pollsters who gives, letting their put in the president of course, overwhelming support and minimal support to alex they know viney, but so she all just will point out that surveys in more time or something that you
2:14 pm
shouldn't trust. now looking at today and the people who have come out across the country, i think that is an indication that there could be actually significant support or at least some support remaining within russia. and people who certainly are critical of letting me have food as well, remaining, and russia. because, you know, the people that were seeing come out uh, you know, from siberia to the capital, la scouts the far east and why the bus stop. these people are taking a huge risk, so i think this could be potentially the tip of the iceberg. and there could be far more people who didn't take to the streets, but who do support? i'll explain of i may as well, or at least oppose funding. they pretend, and emily just quickly, if you can just how risky is it for people in russia to come out in support of an opposition leader like i'll explain of only or was extremely dangerous. it's almost impossible to protest in russia. it has been for some years,
2:15 pm
but since the beginning of the war, a new credit is become almost impossible and rave among look, se, nevada, the supporters and they put out and instructions which essentially assumed that people would be arrested. so i think, and that's what we're seeing unfortunately across the country as well. that was due to always emily sure. when reporting from reagan, emily, thank you. you're up to date on the w news. thanks for watching the .
