s building a is in hong kong following the situation for us there so mathias we can see it's now night time in hong kong and there are still huge crowds on the street why are people still so fired up despite the concessions by the government. i think resistance to this law project has been huge from the beginning we have seen more people on the streets and probably ever since 997 since the city was handed back to china but the government has made a lot of mistakes it's almost like a playbook on how to ignite people's anger just now has apologized for some of her actions but this comes way too late people have been expecting an apology for wednesday's violence since wednesday since maybe thursday she has not reacted she has yesterday she defended the police actions she called them measured which is of course what people feel here. so and then yesterday she half withdraw the bill but not fully withdraw it so this is kind of this is kind of people who have really lost. trust in this government people do not think she is sincerely reconsidering her policies. i'm not satisfied with this ker

mathias i just like to bring in something said yesterday about the scar anniversary by the u.s. secretary of state mike pale he said the following the united states hoped the china's integration into the international system would lead to a more open tolerant society those hopes have been dashed is that an accurate assessment. this is something that we've seen in the last 2 years 1st in america but also in other western countries china watchers are disappointed by the development china has taken this has a lot to do with what has been happening in china in the last 5 years as china has tightened up controls. the freedoms that would there were that were evolving slowly in the 1st decade of the century they have been turned back china is now living through one of the harshest periods. for freedom of speech within the last 30 years so this description is absolutely accurate but he is in hong kong on the 30th anniversary of the tiananmen square massacre thank you. let's get a quick check now of the stories making news around the world italy's prime minister decepticon today has said

our correspondent standing by for us in hong kong where he's covering the story for us hi mathias we've seen really huge crowds take to the streets opposition leaders say more than a 1000000 people turn out to protest but can these massive demonstrations really make a difference can this extradition bill still be stopped well if you listen to the hong kong government the answer is no carry the chief executive. issued a statement today she's sad that she thanked all these people for expressing their opinion but she would not consider this opinion she would push ahead with her bill and she would not step down. this of course will most probably spark further protests and more anger in the city but if you've been covering these protests and we did hear from authorities that there were clashes last night between police and these protesters what can you tell us about that. yeah around 12 o'clock when most protesters had left a group of students said that they would camp outside of the building you can see here behind me. the parliament the city's parliament until. wednesday that is when the b

and for more we're joined by the delis mathias pulling out who's in hong kong material what's happening where you are at the police headquarters right now people have been besieging these police headquarters for hours now the masses are not getting smaller big if anything people demand an apology from the police for last wednesday's operation that people here piece perceived as over overly brutal the police fired rounds and rounds of tear gas that they they used rubber bullets for the 1st time since hong kong was returned to china 22 years ago and police demand the police the police chief to resign or to come out and apologize for this they also demand the withdrawal of this bill that has been postponed but not formally withdrawn and also the resignation of the chief executive kerry. and maybe we can hear what they say. now there we are calling for the release of the writing suspect and also strongly condemn excessive force used by the police. is only wolf. we're angry because we feel helpless actually we feel to achieve any of our goals we asked for withdrawal of the bill but the gover

with beijing at least is not something that you need a lot of time to see to come to this conclusion mathias ballinger in hong kong thank you. if you're watching news still to come on the program fighting back this filipino martial artist is using 1st girls to help victims of child abuse. a 1st place in moscow detained hundreds of protesters at a rally in support of investigative journalist yvonne glynn off prosecutors have dropped drug dealing charges against the reporter due to lack of evidence his supporters say he was framed. opposition activists and journalists being carted off by police. any hope that the release of journalist even called enough. signalled a softening of the kremlin stance on free speech dashed. russian opposition leader alex was among those detained at the rally against corruption in law enforcement. but did you think it was a regional to buy news limited as clueless is fantastic that they've released gallon of look that is just a drop in the ocean and now it's the cooked of the we want all of those still in jail to know that we haven't forgotten a little of it when h

conclusion who is responsible and what has happened we really have to wait and see you know aren't mathias as you said we don't want to rush to any conclusions at this point however is there any indication if it's fully confirmed that these explosions were indeed an attack is there any indication of who might have been behind this well could be could be irena. soldiers could be iranian troops could be anybody in the region. but there are a lot of spoilers a lot of people who would like to raise the tensions who would like to escalate tensions between the u.s. and iran and it's not necessarily as the iranians all the u.s. . so one really has to be one really has to be careful. i think. if you look at the timing of the incident one of the ships was a japanese ship we have the japanese prime minister shinzo aba in tehran right now at this very moment and i really wonder why the iranians would attack a japanese ship. of all ships that cruise a strait of hormuz. at the time of that visit so i really don't know and i think nobody can really say for sure at this moment who could be behind that co

and our correspondents mathias a billing her is covering the protests in hong kong and he says lambs in the latest message is not where demonstrators want to hear. this press conference today and this apology will not appease the protesters here most of them say they did not expect an apology from her but some substantial action like retracting the bill formally or even stepping down she did not do either of them and so who woods are either going to ignite the protesters further we will see how much energy they have left but we can be prepared for more protests in the coming days as he has been reporting from hong kong next up to egypt where former egyptian president mohamed morsi has been buried in the capital cairo a day after his sudden death morsy had been in prison since being forced out of office 6 years ago and human rights groups including amnesty international are calling for an independent investigation into his death early on tuesday morning mohammed morsi was quietly buried at this cemetery in cairo in a private ceremony his family said their goodbyes requests for a publi

an end to the the protests i jotted people are really angry here and it seems momentum is growing mathias now this extradition bill debate in the legislative council it has been delayed what does it actually mean is it a victory for the protests or really just a delay. well during the day people have the feeling it was a small victory but nobody had the illusion that the government would back down or reconsider this bill that they would have really achieved something it was a small punch through victory by blocking off the legislative council. blocking. the discussion inside so the americans could not come inside the government is determined to push this through against probably a majority of hong kong as we have seen the largest demonstration in 30 years on sunday a big part of society is roughly against this bill this did not have any impression on the government so probably 2 days of protests will neither. that was material spilling or speaking to us there and we have to be reporter ceri chan with us she's from hong kong is also been following the story for us terry thanks for joining
