This now fear those rights are being rolled back. Well for more now from hong kong lets cross over to our correspondent there Phebe Kong Phoebe whats happening on the streets of hong kong right now. I know right now at the point i fear in the end to the starting point off the rally happening very soon afternoon and we can see that i might back up lets hope parties and see how after this group they are setting up to go on the route of the rallies and people are starting to gather to to enter this starting point to participate in the annual rallies and this expected to detect plays very sharply bellhop an hour later so this is an annual rally was just held every year on june 1st and at the same time right now outside the government headquarters and ash go off protesters some of them they are now having clashes with the police and the Legislative Council because theyre trying to break into the Legislative Council complex by using something to on off and into the top of the f. S. A. New accounts so. Thats offices some of the scenes shows on the pictures are pretty. Were just seeing some pictures there on our screen those protesters trying to break into the Legislative Council building its obviously quite dramatic at this point the hong kong as well this demonstration is happening on the. Anniversary of hong kong reunification with china what are those demonstrators there demanding. This is this 3rd rally happening in hong kong within just a moment so we know that there are 2 other massive rallies which medium people turned out earlier this month last month in june so they asked for the to strap the extradition deal so today there will be and a rally on june 1st they will go the same thing to scrap the extradition due entirely and also to retract the the cancer i say shut off the riot take off the. 7 balance and one of the clashes with the police and also to release all there are they have arrested protest this wish us expected to come into rioting fines and also on top of the organizers of the ready they also open the they call for politico dot com and democratic reform like they like to the government so this is a new thing monitor then the 2 massive rallies. So we know that this kind of protest has take place for a long period of time and some of the protesters they are using different kind of methods to call bought it and to pressure the government and we have spoke to one off the protesters and so lets have a look on what they see in the hospital weeks. Is a 21 year old student who runs a supply station outside hong kongs legislature its been the scene of frequent demonstrations in recent weeks it all started on line and real world results. Recruited over a 1000 members on the 1st day when i launched the Telegram Group also cooperate with an online form. Whenever i post a message i always receive the 1st response within a minute. These are the most popular tools for protesters by using telegram and encrypted messaging app along with an Online Discussion Forum people respond to calls for Mass Gatherings in order to block roads and government offices on short notice. Was. In the other activists also response with glee by delivering protective gear and mobilizing helpers to the front line. In the latest wave of demonstrations the protest leaders themselves are often just a few of the many key players. Was a model we resist any affiliation with Political Parties and Online Platforms are the most neutral medium because all initiatives are spontaneous that reflects the will of the people but not any organization thats why people are keen to join. The was a Leaderless Movement as led by nobody but the crowd. Hot topics on forums spun protest action on line polls are also taken before or during demonstrations to what protestors make collective decisions. Compared to his own experience new movement as the new tactics can attract supporters beyond hong kongs traditional activist scene. Of this movement hasnt succeeded yet because top leaders of the government still reject our demands we learn from the failure of the movement and developed new strategies to pressure the authorities we will continue to fight until all our goals are achieved. Many young protesters like to believe that by extending beyond conventional rallies a multipronged approach is harder to defeat. And even has a chance of bringing the change they desire. Hong kongs chief executive she has said the recent protests show the government needs to spend more time listening to the people other signs that the government is now prepared to be more accommodating with respect to the protesters demands what you have mentioned Carol Williams 1st appearance i seen. Within the nearly 2 weeks that she has disappeared from the public of sight for nearly 2 weeks and this is the 1st time she showed up again and take the speech and doing and sort of rush and send money off hand over our own home to china and what she said was just how just like you have mentioned she i mean that the bill policy controversy and disputes within the community the the society she has mentioned nothing about the protest regarding. To withdraw any extradition be on the regarding what she was stepped aoun out this is also one of the major of the mouth of protesters so. Many of them they think that colonel am species simply ignore that the monks and their allies saudi not happy about it and they were foist their concerns again on the streets later in this rally. Thank you very much to be calling there in hong kong. Now some of the other stories making headlines around the world today japan has restarted commercial whaling for the 1st time in 31 years and withdrew from the International Whaling commission 6 months ago and the decision took effect on sunday will hunting is condemned by conservation groups who fear the species is facing extinction. Syrian state media says 4 civilians have died after israeli jets attacked military positions near the capital damascus and the western city of holmes footage shows the Syrian Military responding to the attack by firing surface to air missiles another 21 people were reportedly injured in the assault and mexican firefighters have been called out to remove a layer of hail from the streets after a storm hit the central city of boston. The rare down full caught residents by surprise and caused damage to homes vehicles and shells. Now European Union leaders have been logged in all night discussions over who will fill the top jobs following e. U. Parliamentary elections 6 weeks ago in the run up to the summit france and germany agreed sport a common candidate for the key post of Commission President thats the dutch social democrat fronts to moments but their choices met some stiff opposition i think you hear about the top secret for you thats how a night of marathon talks to pick the next e. U. Commission president began ahead of the summit french president emmanuel mccrone was maybe too optimistic about a breakthrough. Its important that we come away from the summit with answers and a new team to macron leadership experience is key. If you do need one of the criteria is competent and i can name some names Michel Barnier my great best friends to my moms. The gal is a candidate e. U. Members can agree on and one who doesnt divide many Eastern European countries are opposed to the netherlands from tim and whos criticized poland and hungary for lapses in the rule of law something they havent forgotten im afraid the beast person is not going to believe the right one. You wrote this in the possibly you have a feeling that there was much more than a lot of positive in our region. Its a complicated equation to balance with all players seeking to weigh in the e. U. Leaders should represent interests across the bloc east and west gender equality and both big and small countries. Probably still the sides are so very important to also just see the church graphical part of its 28 e. U. Members including the United Kingdom that means 28 national egos to balance and then theres the European Parliament which also wants to have it say german chancellor Angela Merkel want a difficult compromise lay ahead so resisting it also way things stand the talks going to be easy to put it mildly the European Parliament or at least 2 of its political groups are committed to the principle of selecting one of their candidates so i think its going to take a while its one of my little understood the troubles and this balancing act cool night e. U. Council president donald tusk met with leaders individually and in a group and still could not broker a compromise the clock is ticking the new European Parliament meets this week. Was cross over now to brussels where our correspondent max foster is standing by for us at the Council Building max your leaders have been the go shipping screw the night there. Understand are they any closer to reaching an agreement. Terry the people behind me here sure hope so because theyve been up all night too and if they hadnt made any progress the leaders that would all be for naught but we do know that they have now convened for breakfast so thats not a break up its breakfast and thats a good sign because if they had the feeling that they werent getting anywhere and they probably would have called it quits already but we dont know how much longer it will take as we just heard in that report by Catherine Martins its extremely difficult what are the sticking points here max theyre trying to agree on candidates for the top jobs is that right. Thats right and normally you always have the difficulty of balancing the regions making sure you have or trying at least equal parts men and women on that top jobs you want the smaller countries the bigger countries the east the west so those are the usual difficulties but this year its even more complicated because more parties have their say the big 2 parties so the conservatives and the socialists dont have a majority of money themselves you also have the liberals that are in the fold and to a certain extent the greens and that means in one room i call the french president who represents the liberal camp among others here really has its say and he was blocking the candidate from the most Successful Party the conservatives which is represented by macko so for the 1st time you might not have a Commission President from the Strongest Party from the conservatives who of course within that party theres a lot of rebellion against that plan so there are several jobs that are up for grabs here the head of the European Central bank the president of the e. U. Council but more importantly the president as you say of the e. U. Commission thats the real tough one its always difficult for a large group of countries to agree on a candidate here but are these divisions in the e. U. Deeper this time than usual. Maybe slightly between the east. In the west you have the 4 states among them for example hungary who usually oppose what you would have called the western european look on things in the past but not so much i would say that the top difficulty of this time what makes things so complicated is really you do not have a majority in the European Parliament among the 2 big parties or the former 2 large parties the socialists and. Conservatives and to have somebody who actually goes through as the Commission President you not only terry need a majority in the European Parliament you also need a majority among the leaders right here in the European Council so you need a double majority you can imagine how how complicated this is it might really for somebody whos not here in brussels might sound sound strange and it is but its the only way at the moment to balance out things between the Different Countries and the different e. U. Institutions tough nut to crack there in brussels is next month thank you so much. At least 7 people have been killed and also 200 injured in clashes between police and Protesters Thousands took to the streets across the country to demand the Ruling Military Council hand power to a civilian government the demonstrations are the biggest since curity forces opened fire on a protest in the capital khartoum almost a month ago killing dozens. Of these demonstrators made their way to khartoums Defense Ministry to appeal to military rule as it was one of several rallies in cities across sudan protesters were eager to make their voices heard. God punished these oppressors. We want to civilian government a civilian one. Some marches carried photos of family members who were among dozens killed when police broke up a peaceful sit in protest outside Army Headquarters in early june that violence coincided with the collapse of talks between military rulers and protest leaders about who should head a new governing body sundays rallies marked the 1st return to the streets since then. As protesters in khartoum near the president ial palace officials made it clear that they were unwilling to listen to the voice of the people on stirring the chants with tear gas. The military council justified his actions and a special t. V. Address. When i came on that man with troops mission is to protect protesters but we dont trust the vandals. In front of the youth center in the medical headquarters there are snipers shooting at people they have hit 3 members of the rocket support forces and about 5 or 6 civilians thats why we were upset and trying to get things under control much in that i dont look at. Sundays demonstrations also month the 30th anniversary of the coup that 1st brought president omar. The shia to power in 1909. Thats coup talk of the last democratically elected government here the demonstrators have vowed to continue their protests until sudan has a civilian leadership again i. Millions of people took part in l g b t celebrations in cities around the world at the weekend in Turkey Police broke up a gathering about activists in the largest city istanbul dashing hopes that recent political change there would bring an end to a ban on gay pride barges demonstrators insisted they would not be silenced. The end of what demonstrators hoped would be a change of heart after several 100 supporters amassed in Istanbul Police were sent in to clear the streets of activists. The protesters had gathered in spite of a ban hopeful that the citys new mayor could convince authorities to allow the rally to go ahead. And spite of this attack activists say theyre determined to speak out. I will continue to shout out for our identity we came today despite the ban to make our voices heard on the get on the huge issue because come up with fighting to save our love freely in a free country for me the pride march isnt just a celebration it has a bigger meaning i dont understand why a gathering like this is banned in a country where people are supposed to be secular and phrased the innocent. People living open and free that struggle was launched in new york crowds gathered outside the landmark Stonewall Inn where the modern Gay Rights Movement was spawned half a century ago after police raided the popular Meeting Place the fight for equal rights isnt over. Today still in much of this country you can get married to a person of the same sex on monday and then go to work on tuesday and be fired because now they know youre gay and thats perfectly legal.
