the problem for passionate young hong kongers like this is that communist china is just 16 miles awaythe harbour. somehow they are going to have to learn to live with that fact. rupert wingfield—hayes, bbc news, in hong kong. iran has protested to britain's ambassador in tehran, after the uk foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, said the country was "almost certainly" responsible for the attacks on two oil tankers in the gulf of oman. meanwhile, the british—iranian woman jailed for allegedly spying , nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe , has begun a new hunger strike to demand her unconditional release. she's been held since 2016 and denies any wrongdoing. a series of attacks in somalia and kenya has left at least 25 people dead. eight were killed by a car bomb in the somali capital, mogadishu. 16 others were injured. gareth barlow has more details. smoke rises over mogadishu moments after the car bomb exploded. awnings shredded by the force of the blast, buildings left in ruins and at least eight people confirmed dead. translation: as i came out of the mosque i saw a speeding car firing bullets. i t

so, the issue has been, ever since the handover, has been hong kongers have prized the fact that lifethings operate over on the mainland. and so there have been a series of protests to try to protect the things that make hong kong different. and rule of law is a crucial thing. on the mainland, it's often said it's much more ruled by law and you are much at the mercy of the courts and that system. during the umbrella movement in 2014, which was one of the last massive set of protests, what was most striking to me somebody who pays attention to both the mainland and hong kong, was that when some protesters were arrested early on when the police moved against protesters, the court said they had no business arresting them and ordered them to be released. on the mainland, that just doesn't happen. so i think the extradition law seems to be something that will undermine one of the things that makes hong kong distinctive. you talked about the umbrella movement. ultimately, it didn't really achieve what the protesters were trying to do, is this different? can this change this "one country, tw

i think it's certainly hardened hong kongers' resolve.ests five years ago, largely seen as a failure, people were wondering whether hong kongers had lost their spirit and perhaps no longer had much appetite for dissent, particularly as the government has aggressively pursued and prosecuted the leaders of those protests five years ago. but i think the events of the past week have really shown hong kongers' spirit remains as determined as ever and they'll come out and protest and dissent against policies that they feel strongly about. nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe — the british—iranian mother jailed in iran on alleged spying charges — has begun a new hunger strike, in protest at her imprisonment. she's been held since 2016 and denies any wrongdoing. her move comes at a time of escalating tension, with the united states, backed by the uk, accusing iran of a series of attacks on oil tankers in the gulf of oman. iran denies any involvement. our world affairs correspondent caroline hawley reports. these are the moments before nazanin zaghari—ratcli

very very tight fisted and i think we're going to have a very tragic aftermath of this so should hong konger is basically a prepare themselves for the inevitability that their independence and their autonomy from mainland china is basically on the verge of being eliminated. this protest shows that people in hong kong are very much afraid of exactly that and nobody expected them to turn out in such huge numbers it shows that they're really concerned about this happening and a lot of the rhetoric of the protest has been that we have to defend our autonomy what's left of it now because if we don't do it now it's going to be gone forever while the leader of hong kong kerry last she was saying this is really about a lack of communication or that explanation of what this extradition bill is really about has there been any specific statement then from beijing about what's going on you know beijing has been very quiet publicly the whole events in hong kong more or less sense that in mainland china all that they have been reporting is a little bit about it in hong kong but we must absolutely expect t

i think it is very misleading, this bill, if it passed, could put every hong konger in danger. rule of law. and they can do anything. my disappearance, when i'm on my way to hong kong airport, secretively detained without trial and later they didn't even put a decision on me and still, there is no clear, nobody knows who made the decision of whether to make the decision and only because i show different opinions, i criticised the policies. after the british handed hong kong to china in 1997, hong kong adopted a "one country, two systems" arrangement — this was designed to protect legal and democratic freedoms that do not exist in mainland china. the fear is that this new extradition bill threatens this set up. we should though be clear — even now hong kong is not a democracy as you might think of it. it's government — known as the legislative council or legco has 70 members. this times graph shows you the make up. 35 are directly elected. the other 30 are determined by special interest groups called functional constituencies. critics say this allows beijing to exert heavy influe
