A report someone. What do you mean is ation is not only with those families but its also with the agents that weve had told to do this to these families their 1st Time Congress women and vocal critics of the us president and it appears theyve gotten under donald trump skin he took to twitter to say in part progressive democrat Congress Women who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe should go back to the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came however 3 of the Congress Women were born in the u.

Tens of thousands of people returned to the streets of hong kong protesting against what they say is beijings growing political influence in the citys affairs but what started as a peaceful march in the suburb of shots in ended in violence right Police Charged towards demonstrators in a Shopping Center leaving Dozens Injured and 2 protesters in critical condition. Reports from hong kong. After bringing Central Hong Kong to a standstill on previous sundays protesters are taking their fight to the suburbs. And government leaders are struggling to clamp down on the wrist systems movement that is largely leaderless most of the protesters here are young people who tell us they are disillusioned about hong kongs future. Protesters set up barricades in the center of schatten and riot Police Arrived from Different Directions trying to close off access routes. The situation is tense protesters remain defiant and the patience of police is wearing thin and. By 8 pm the police sent out a warning. They are ready to charge but here you can see the benefit of moving i think the interesting thing to me to the moment the police even me you know yelling and yelling when you know its going in the fact that she. Wasnt even me because in fact am even using me any more you dont want to make it seem some of the protesters retreated to a nearby and more complex the police ran after them and thats when the situation became even more violent i like so many protests here this march is meant to be a peaceful one most of our people do not trust the. Chinese and they did. Go transpires for the past 5 weeks these have become familiar scenes in hong kong tens of thousands of protesters showed up here today surprising even the moment organizers. And president did for us suburban area like that and the message is quite clear to carolines government enough is enough the controversy over the proposed law to extradite suspects to stand trial in china sparked large scale protests last month and now demands have broad and protestors want reassurances that their fundamental freedoms are protected britain returned hong kong to chinese rule in 1997 the socalled one country 2 systems handover agreement guaranteed the people of Hong Kong Freedom is not widely available in Mainland China. But people here tell as those freedoms are being eroded by creeping story tyrion ism from beijing it remains to be seen what sort of concessions chief executive caroline can offer that will be enough to pacify young people here for now protesters vow they will continue to push back until they achieve meaningful political reforms.

More protests in hong kong despite the government suspending the controversial extradition bill that sparked the anger so whats fueling the demonstrations night and what will it take to end whats been dubbed the summer of discontent this is inside story. My. Hello and welcome to the program im hala maher hed seen weeks of protests in hong kong showed no sign of ending the parliaments in these summits on this chinese territory has been vandalized towns near the border with china have seen on precedented rallies and police and protesters have faced off in violence confrontations. Well it all started with an extradition bill that would have allowed people in hong kong to be sent to Mainland China for trial the government has since suspended that the chief executive even describing it as dead but now the protests happened volved and see why either frustration at what is seen as growing. Interference from beijing to me that im going to can has more. Tens of thousands of protesters have showed up here today it is unprecedented for a suburban place like shots and it hasnt seen anything like this in decades unexpected even for the organizers a lot of the protesters here are shouting theyre asking for the police to open up the roads and so i allow people to move freely to speak up the message against kerry lams government also is quite clear and to a greater extent beijing room will continue. To try to. Go for. It remains to be seen what sort of concessions will carolines government be able to offer the will be acceptable to the millions of young people who have been taking to the streets this is gone beyond just the extradition bill corsi all the other issues as what protesters here have been telling us this bottled up this content that has been simmering here in hong kong for decades they tell us the rule of law and the way of life here in hong kong is threatened they want Better Regulation and they want better protection young people who have come here have been accused of rioting it may seem like that at the onset if you look at the streets but the protest is so different from the 2014 Umbrella Movement here this movement is largely leaderless it has been decentralized and that has been brought to so many suburban areas like shut and it has been localized as well even the issues that have come forward now has become all about the protection of basic fundamental freedoms of people what they want they say is accountability transparency and justice. Well lets bring in cities panel in hong kong we have emily lau shes a former counselor at the Hong Kong Legislative Council and a former chairwoman of the Democratic Party in london were joined by james palmer a Senior Editor at Foreign Policy magazine who lived in beijing from 2004 to 2018 answers in hong kong via skype lauren smart the chairman of the hong kong we go Exchange Foundation and a member of the silent majority for hong kong Political Party welcome to you all if i could come to you 1st emily live. Assurances have been given that this extradition bow which sparked the protests is dead so why in your view are these protests continuing well i think the chief executive kerry lamb has not really responded to demands of the protesters and the demands of many hong kong people and that is to say that the bill has been withdrawn which is the correct terminology not that the bill is dead i mean people dont know what that means and people pray that maybe the bill will suddenly rise up from the dead again and also of course the people would like to see an independent inquiry setup chaired by a judge to look into the Police Brutality and all the chaos in the last few weeks and she has not responded to these 3 months so its a little only reasonable and thats why the people are very unhappy i request but word carry law to turn round and see we will withdraw the spill we will formally withdraw the sparrow and you can have the inquiry do you think the process would stop then. I think i think emotion will subside quite a bit of course not maybe not a 100 percent but i think that because these are the demands that have been articulated for so long and if she would come out and say yes i would do these things i think i think we would see a lot less protests lawrence more what do you say to that the simple way to end these protests once and for all is for a carrier to change her vocabulary and withdraw the bell rather than kill it i meant to say dont even know what i dont think i would do anything good in cooling down the well in stopping the protests i would say if i could on a bit but the whole the whole you know the business is not just about the bill i mean could have says and there has been prominent very about how importers so the reason has been moved away from the extra extradition bill it is due to other social issues which the people people do not feel happy about so the and also the stepping out of the chief executive is not a match up because whoever stands in opposition to be the chief executive will have to sammy sosa problem has on hand as an issue to tackle west and the same soren and brown in hong kong to tackle weve also been following the common interest so what are the social issues lawrence marvet you think are at the heart of this. Well i think for so many years and China Sentiment has been caught up has been. In calculated into the mind of the people so people theres a very subtle and the china and the chinese and the National Identity the sentiment. So whenever we talk about china and then to talk about chinese stuff people are not happy about them and his his his picking up this antique chinese sentiment well by and large the large a very very popular newspaper in hong kong and which which are in constant. Highlighting the negative aspects of Chinese Society china and even about china and hide away and downs any good thing the chinese have so hong kong people have been so also many is injected with all encountered in clanton with very many negative. Ideas about china ok let me china let me put this to james parmeno james palmer. These protests began after the controversy surrounding the socalled extradition bill we hear from one side that if this extradition bill was formally withdrawn that may stop the process on the other hands were hearing the system and see social issues an anti China Sentiment being fermented by the press was whats your reading of this why do you think these print these protests are continuing. Well i would say well the extradition bill was the immediate cause the bigger problem is a much wider divide in identity between hong kong is and the peoples republic as a whole the mainland Young Hong Kong is do not feel themselves to be chinese only 3. 5 percent of young callers when interviewed say that theyre chinese the vast majority say that they are global citizens or even more so the hong kong is and those numbers have dropped sharply in the last 10 years but where of course i really disagree with lawrence is that this isnt the result of in calculation or some kind of propaganda its the result of actions by china by beijing its the result of things like the kidnapping of hong kong booksellers the political power now on the mainland the sense particularly over the last you know 5 years that the mainland has been rapidly de liberalizing and so from hong kong his point of view while they want could have believed that the mainland would move more towards where hong kong is in terms of freedom of speech rule of law and so on now theyre seeing the mainland go backwards and attempt to force that backwardness on Hong Kong Lawrence ill give you a chance to respond to that. Yeah it is true that because china containment policy as we we are well the us is wanting to contain china and hong kong is so serious that it would be political influences financial influences and there is enough the color because which is being used as part of the to the Chinese Government now where we have got independence since a couple of years ago and we even see it is quite apparent that hong kong is going out of credibility so i mean you cannot blame the Chinese Government so i dont think control over hong kong because hong kong is not controlled probably it would go on an independent city. And let me put these point to see you emily lie that says. This is this is an identity issue rather than the extra bit they actually. Per say do you think that younger hong kong or so feeling less chinese and this is this is a wider pushback against. Against a perceived oppressor. Well i think it is an identity issue yes but the fear of being sent for trial in Mainland China is real whether it is the youngsters or their families or other political dissidents who could be the target of this spill its a concern of many people including the young and of course the young people who are also very very much put off by presidency chin paintings absolutely no respect for rule of law for human rights and look at the situation and seeing junk over a 1000000 people being locked up like that and also look at the human rights lawyer is the human rights defenders in china and there are many of them suffer a lot and so when the young people here young and old when they see the appalling situation in china of course they feel very very disturbed and they young people of course they dont want to be part of that country and they asked me because they they asked me to see that i can help especially those who hold a British National overseas passport of course these people are not that young but they asked me whether i can ask britain to help because they are british citizens lauren small let me pick that so you youngsters in hong kong are seeing very real concerns given some of the actions in china who to play the detention of weaker is in. Which you dont say those are legitimate concerns that they could push back against. I dont think youngsters. I do not know about them so of course it is a conservative. But it shouldnt be a concern to them because really for someone who to be. Crime in the mainland but a lot and that is an instance of our military modern man and then be extradited back to the Mainland China many of these people do not go to the Mainland China even to travel there is it this china but today dont go there to commit a crime impossible for them to extradite her back to the Mainland China so the fear is totally irrelevant to them but back to play devils advocate lauren smart they would they would say that this could be used as a pretext for the chinese authorities to arrest someone and say you have committed a lawyer an offense in china or we use this as a pretext to take you to the mainland no but they dont even go to the Mainland China to get my one little ones of the people so thats thats not for them there might be some concern in the business sectors to do business in china but China Hong Kong this is a man who does this is china and may have that concern but not those protesters on the need you know charging riots against the glories not that not those people those dont have to stand at all because of asians then theres a lot so there are provisions in this law which words exempts people who would not normally go to Mainland China is that your argument lawrence no longer the principle of law is you have to commit a crime you can bring in and china and absconded that has to be able to be to be able to have these critical to them to get you have to have extradited back to try and china for trial thats the whole purpose of the bill and the law i mean if you have been to china you dont go there theres no crime to be there you cannot be extradited back there i dont want to say on the extradition law for to you on but james farmer if i could come to you surely that this extradition bill in itself is a demonstration of upholding the principles of the one country 2 systems because surely if if it were one country one system you wouldnt need a separate law to cover these. Fences and an additional point to you james palmer why if china wanted to bring people to justice on the mainlines they dont need a law as weve seen in the case of the causeway booksellers theyll just make find a way of making you face justice on the mainland anyway its just a trojan horse the world this debate. Well in fact i mean the theory is that one of the reasons introduced this bill was in order to try and sort of formalize the process that was already happening of trying to kidnapping hong kong is from very you know seizing people anyway and to give it a sort of Legal Framework but from the point of view of the protesters you know that there should be no intrusion at all and theyre worried i think rightly because weve seen china try to apply its law extraterritoriality in abroad so much over the last few years weve seen for instance last year china threaten lines that didnt use the term taipei. China that i threaten businesses that identified taiwan as a separate area or country weve seen. In the kidnappings weve seen. It weve seen people at conferences try to test things out of 10 things out of conference materials so theres a feeling that this is just a sort of stalking horse for that sense of intrusion into hong kongs you know once sort of inviolable. Independence and coupled with things like the Railway Terminals where mainland global be applied the feeling of sort of hong kongs in hong kong sort of autonomy being sliced away bit by bit is really powerful i thought id lets put this question to you all 3 of you this is something which is interesting before why are we seeing these sorts of protests in hong kong but we arent seeing them in other. In macau for example macau is of course another territory roll by the one country 2 systems they have a separate system but we arent seeing the mass demonstrations that we have seen on the streets of Hong Kong Emily live. Well macau people do not enjoy too many freedoms my dear friend they dont have freedom of the press and macau is very small and its very much control by the communists for many decades so but if were not lucky how girl could be like my cat within weeks and thats something were trying to prevent is is that something Lawrence Margaret what would you say to this why are we not seeing the protests and mco. I think homecoming has particular tradition because it has the english legal system it has a lot of foreigners it has a free press it has always been. The british has given a trade into trouble when theres a lot of groups here so and in the value system of hong kong people were Pretty International ones to a certain extent british so i would have thought that they would want to meara the very western system of democracy and how people can protest. Like you know other countries thats what they wanted in hong kong so i mean thats what and theres also some sense of going in for this but its so thats why its been hong kong and how im going has been. Larger of course the more population they have i think 7000000. 00 plus people in hong kong whereas in the towns only 50500000 the population is larger so it has more if it is done as the sphere is and serves. Its use as a place to speak to these people in stabilize China Hong Kong has the power and force to achieve their objectives james palmer saw an assessment you would agree with that that hong kong is a better place to destabilise china than mco. I think the explanation for why macau doesnt protest is quite simple in 66 and 67 when the communists from the mainland pushed huge protests in both hong kong and macau the portuguese authorities effectively caved and gave the communist party a powerful role in control of macau many decades before formal before formally handing it back over so the communist party has been ensconced in macau for much longer its control is much deeper the threats and the coercion it can. Apply to people in macau is much greater so like the mainland you know why do people not protest in the mainland because theyre terrified its not quite the same in macau but theres no tradition of resistance theres no independent press theres no or theres a long kind of established history of control and what about the economic factors how important are economic factors in the unrest that were seeing because hong kong is rather in the jury is for extraordinary high rents for low who no Home Ownership ever just this play any facts or a toll would you say james palmer. I think it plays some factor but not as much as some apologists for the mainland would you weve seen them saying over soul really about housing prices or really about this its not people you know young people are upset because of housing prices that angry they feel cut off but that plays into the sense of break with the older generation the sense of the older generation sold them out to beijing you cant separate out these issues the fact that hong kong is effectively controlled by a few powerful families who have thrown their lot in not is with the Chinese Communist parties and who also exert sort of monopoly control over hong kong of hong kong businesses is very recognized by young people but they see that anger as part of that the shared anger against the mainland against paging as well well we were coming to the end of our discussion with the few minutes that remain id like to get in the cessna different from all 3 of you where you think this is going to end what are the next steps for the process and whats what lies ahead if i kids come to you 1st emily like how do you see this ending. Well i certainly think carrie lam should come out and gauge the public she cannot just keep hiding in Government House and of course she should accede to the demands which i think are very reasonable but now theres a report in the Financial Times saying that shes offered to resign several times well i think if she goes it would be good then we just get some new person to come in and otherwise if she keeps hiding in Government House is not going to help this situation will get worse ok lauren smart to you to you see the resignation of carrie lamas as helping to bring this to a cause where do you see this and well im going in because of the resolution and this is a good time and Good Opportunity for people to remind you theres an election in. This year and there is a more important election next year and people want oppositions want to keep up that sentiment and opposition sentiment so that they can get back to the propose if people are more scared about china about about the government they would go for the opposition and thats what they want to go wrong they want to drag on they want to keep the sentiment of the protests so that they can get moguls will be in an election in november not in which it seems of time but july july to emily like do you think thats the case that this is all just political posturing ahead of an election. Well of course there is an election coming up and we would like to see pro democracy candidates winning but i think many of us do not want to see the violence in the streets if you have big a peaceful protest thats great but we dont want to see the protesters beating up i mean the policemen beating up the protesters and all this standoff i think many of us do not want to see that so far is completely wrong ok and james palmer im going to give you the last words here quickly if you could how do you see this and. I think that while these protests may die down on kong is going to be very unhappy very disturbed place over the course of the next few years or decades until something politically changes on the mainland that allows for more the proviso Ocean Hong Kong is are going to keep drifting away from the mainland and were going to see very fierce protests and in turn increased repression by the authorities ok and with that well have to draw our discussion to a close id like to thank all 3 of my guests and we live james palmer and Lawrence Mann thank you to you for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our web site thats dot com and the conversation continues online just head to our Facebook Page at forward slash a.

Right this moment if they stop the oppression if they stop the belief if they lift sanctions. Return to the table we turn to look we already well certainly after his comments european leaders who are signatories to the deal issued their own statements calling for a dialogue between all the parties to resume in a joint declaration france germany and the u. K. Said we are extremely concerned about irans decision to store and enrich uranium beyond the authorized limits however they also said we believe that the time has come to act responsibly and to look for ways to stop the escalation of tension and resume dialogue the risks are such that it is necessary for all stakeholders to pause and consider the possible consequences of their actions weve got teams covering this story in europe and iran in a moment well be speaking to dorset or bari into iran but 1st well cross over to dominic kane whose life for us in brussels and ahead of that meeting expected to take place dominic what should we be looking out for. World certainly from the e. U. Perspective to remain pretty much many of the countries perhaps all of the countries have expressed their support for the deal with iran that deal which of course was repudiated by the trumpet ministration when mr trump came into the white house the point here is that the e. U. Leaders the e. U. 3 thats britain france and germany were just mentioning in your introduction that they have been trying to find ways to help iran legally to circumvent to get around the impact of economic sanctions those crippling sanctions iran refers to and they have a scheme called instincts which helps iran financially to to offset the damage by sanctions but it has been a struggle to get it up and running and it isnt running at 100 percent the other thing to say here is we must view whats happening today through the prism of the events in the area itself in and around the middle east because from the united kingdoms perspective we know that the foreign secretary jeremy hunt has been speaking about the nature of tensions between iran and the United States saying that although United States. Is its closest ally coachs ally they disagree about the policy that the mr trump President Trump has arrived out of these are iran so clearly at this summit we will be expecting to hear a united front from the europeans which is they believe that negotiations must happen and that the deal that they arrived at some time ago now some years ago now is the only deal that can regulate this whole thorny issue with. Dominic cain thank you for that update from brussels of her reaction from tehran itself lets bring in. Shes joining us from there presumably the iranians will be watching events in brussels unfold very closely. Yes certainly we have just been hearing from the spokesperson for Irans Atomic Energy Organization mr campbell vandy who said that iran will return to its Nuclear Activity prior to 2015 if the europeans dont uphold their end of the deal this is something weve been hearing from the iranians but its the 1st time that weve heard such a strong line coming from a official person within iran about what theyre going to do if the europeans dont uphold their end of the deal until now we have heard that they will going to scale back their commitments step by step they were given the european 60 day period but now were hearing from the spokesperson that the iranians will go back to preach 2015 conditions when it comes to the Nuclear Program and at that time iran was at 20 percent enrichment levels and all the Nuclear Facilities within the country were working now weve also been hearing from the Iranian Foreign minister zarif who is in new york a meeting a series of officials of the United Nations here arrived on sunday evening where he spoke to reporters there he said that the europeans really have just been talking until now they have yet to see any action the iranians are accusing the european signatories of this deal of not upholding their end of the bargain because theyre afraid of the United States and the sanctions that the u. S. Has imposed on iran since withdrawing from this nuclear deal last year now its noteworthy to say that the foreign minister zarif will be meeting the u. N. Secretary general into tears during the 6 day visit that he will be in new york but we are also hearing that the visa that has been granted to the foreign minister is very specific and has very limited movements of for him that so when hes in the United States he is not allowed to travel to all around the country or within new york hes very limited where he can go with this is just another indication of how the United States government views this administration and the relationship that has been very very tense over the past few weeks and the past few months really since the United States imposed a series of sanctions on iran ok thank you. South africas former president jacob zuma owes do it a Public Inquiry into government corruption he was forced from office last year and denies overseeing the systematic looting of state funds. Is joining us from johannesburg to break down by corruption inquiry heroin to tell us if we know yet if the zuma himself is going to be testifying. Or jacob zuma has arrived its not clear whether he will be testifying this has caused a lot of interest here in south africa this public hearing some so that britains blame azuma o. J. In the years in his prison of corruption they say hes responsible for a lot of money having gone missing and they say hes also responsible for destroying the economy whats going to happen is once hes proceeding start we will see just get some kind of a raise in sight at the room and in the way forward and how these proceedings happen the key thing of course to remember is that this is not a legal proceeding this is a commission of inquiry jacob zuma does not need to testify its been a long road getting to this point for a couple of months zuma was insisting he wanted to see the questions all he came to testify at the commission because he needed time to prepare that was not allowed to happen he also said he wanted some of the witnesses to be crossexamined by him or by one of his lawyers we still dont know whether that is going to happen on sunday he had a Media Briefing where he was very defiant uneasy that he really wants to come and have a stay but he feels that this commission is a political witch hunt trying to tarnish his name. With a string of public protest Media Relations and pressure from within his own party to jacob zuma as resignation as president now 18 months out of office zuma continues to fight allegations of corruption many of them linked to his relationship with the gupta family. The doctors are accused of using their relationship would seem to influence government policy and win lucrative state contracts for its businesses while zuma and the captors deny any wrongdoing the former president is expected to make his 1st appearance at an inquiry into corruption. Or is really. Youre not going to see his his direct fingerprints on a lot of things you know a lot of the corruption that happened was happening inside state and so it would happen under c. E. O. C. F. O. That had effectively been appointed by him you know by the ministers that he had appointed. The accusations against zuma and the doctors are just the latest in a long line of scandals zuma is she to return to court in september on charges of fraud corruption and Money Laundering a 180000000 dollars deal with a French Military arms company teles zuma says the charges are political conspiracy the beautiful Economic Research estimates that and as soon as leadership to that because economy lost 70000000000. 00 president has called as peter says this time in office and 9 wasted years and some South Africans agree while zuma enjoy some support especially in his home problems in a towel there is a great Public Interest in seeing him held to account for his suspected role in state corruption the allegations extend to zuma stanley with his son to design a link to businesses owned by the captors mr zuma. Tends to view the process. Of justice the process of governance which as weve seen when hes been called before parliament to answer questions as well as weve seen when hes been called before the courts to answer he views all of these processes as being the meet him. In a very patronizing paternalistic way. While many South Africans are anxious to hear zuma give his side of the story its still not clear whether he will testify before the commission or crossexamine witnesses who have implicated. And what are the implications if zuma does testify. If he does testify he could implicate some top officials which will naturally open up a whole new can of worms this is zoomers argument he says yes he was a prisoner for 9 years but he says his hands are clean he was never corrupt he accuses someone of using his name to further they personally interest for example. That maybe an official who would approach some investors and say i know jacob zuma very well im a very close friend of jacob zuma if you talk to me nicely to give me a cut then maybe you will be awarded government contracts those are some of the allegations he says are on the table and he was never read or really involved in any of this of course the commission will have to decide that after this spoken to several other people some of them are supporters are here at the commission and they insist that this is the Kangaroo Court they say this is a case of people within the ruling a. N. C. Party different factions emerging trying to kind of subjective zuma and his supporters allegations of course denied by people from that particular faction but all eyes of course are on this hearing how is that going to pan out is zuma going to testify and if he does testify who is he going to implicate in the corruption scandals and as we can see in the live picture of that hearing now underway for the time being here with us i thank you for that update from johannesburg.
