protesters trying to stop a controversial proposed law that would allow extradition to mainland china the city's legislative council has postponed a planned debate on the law after crowds blocked access to government buildings hong kong officials have ordered the demonstrators to disperse but this is a they're defending the territories freedom. they may not be super heroes but they are a force to be reckoned with tens of thousands of people have paralyzed hong kong once again today in protest against the controversial extradition bill. like mostly dressed in black their faces covered with surgical masks and wearing makeshift body armor the crowds today seem ready for a different kind of protest than the largely peaceful mass demonstrations on sunday . i would say it actually is wheat farmer or farmer approach astore we do it right or it is a different way to work our way that's the only way that there will be like. having our part that. they are worried about a proposed law that would mean hong kong could send people to mainland china to face trial critics warned that would allow beijing to target political opponents in hong kong which retained its own justice system after being returned to china from british rule in 1997 undeterred by the outrage the territory's chief executive is promising to push forward with the legislation i do but i have not received anything instruction on mending from beijing to do dispute. we were doing it and we are stupid doing it a little foci other countries. and i'll come even to. a commitment hardly reflected today at the legislative council were seats remained empty as the scheduled debate was postponed but with a legislature dominated by beijing loyalists few protesters expect the law to fail to vote on june 20th. this legal so. i'm quite disappointed i don't think. they would listen to people. who are still going ahead but i think there were people. they may have forced the legislators to delay the vote but for these protesters the struggle to preserve hong kong's autonomy has only just begun . and joining me now live from hong kong is a correspondent much if belinda much is protests with peaceful over the last few days but now the mood seems to have shifted me here police have used tear gas. yeah the mood has shifted obviously the mood of the government because they decided to clear the square in front of the legislative council what you see behind me is this square so this was crowded with protesters in the morning police are fired tear gas they're firing mortars because people are coming from over there right no more and more people i think you can neighborhood hear them and the police is also coming so i'll probably try to. them ok they're ordering me to go. ok so they're clearing the square they want protesters out of here i don't know whether you can still see me a receipt can see you much is willing and if you are able still to talk to me ask you know on this extradition bill what the debate has been delayed due to protest to see it as a victory. a small victory because the government has made clear that it's not going to scrap this bill they want to push this through with all false as we can see and. we are going to see a lot more i think of protests. and dispute in the city in the next few days i think we will leave it there we can see that the police is obviously very keen to get the protesters and all of the press out of there so we leave it for now which is willing to live in hong kong thank you very much for the updates on that. and i do apologize for the quality of that and but as you can see the situation there was pretty volatile but the police trying to carry out the protests from the square where our correspondent. was standing telling out of moscow where investigative journalist evander good or not has been released from police custody after officials dropped drug charges against him due to a lack of evidence and the circumstances of last week triggered protests. criticism even from some senior officials and media who generally support the government he told to a crowd in moscow that he will not go back and carry on his back. even call enough walked out of police custody a free man early tuesday evening he thanked supporters outside the interior ministry and vowed to continue his work exposing corruption. that were to be run everything is fine i still need a bit to gather my wits i don't have to work very hard now to show that your faith in me is justified thank you for that. you are. one of the idea that you have those supporters have been protesting at the ministry since news of golan off the rest broke on friday one person pickets don't have to be authorized in advance so protesters took turns holding signs calling for even calling off to be freed. 3 major newspapers also joined the protests each running the same headline in monday's additions declaring i am we are given gholam much because i didn't there are several prominent media personalities also criticizing the circumstances of golan most arrest was considered because mr olson might sit. in court on saturday golan off insisted he was innocent and that the police planted the drugs on him his lawyers said the fingerprints weren't on any of the items police seized and that go enough had been beaten in custody and denied a lawyer for more than 12 hours. police released several photos that seem to show a drug lab at call an office home they later admitted only one of those photos was actually taken at the journalists apartment. go enough is well known for exposing corruption medusa to the left you have based news website he works for was preparing to publish his latest reporting on russia's crime ridden funeral industry go enough the rest seems to have hit a nerve yes well just as. there is a demand for justice in society because this case is not just about you but it concerns many citizens who could end up in the same situation it is no secret that police often break the law in situations like this. in a turnaround it's those law enforcement agencies that are now coming under scrutiny . the interior ministry has opened an investigation into the officers who arrested call them off and they've asked president putin to fire 2 senior moscow police officials. news is often dominated by stories of war conflict and destruction so it's easy to think that the world is becoming a movie violent place not so according to the global peace index that's a study published today by the australia based independent think tank the institute for economics and peace it says for the 1st time in 5 years global peacefulness is on the rise taking militarize ation as one of its indicators it says in 2018 more countries decrease their spending on militarization than increased it that's $106.00 and it says global economic impact of violence that's the cost of containing preventing and dealing with consequences of violence was also done amounting to just over 11 percent of the world g.d.p. iceland remains the top of the list as the most peaceful countries in the world what gonna stand replaces syria as the least peaceful and yemen joins the bottom 5 countries for the 1st time but perhaps most significantly this year's report looks at the risks to peace by climate change the study says 1000000000 people have high risk of natural disasters and that 40 percent of those on countries already struggling with conflict with me now is the founder of the institute for economics and be steve who published that study a welcome musical laid out for the 1st time you will study has linked peace with climate change why. well when you're looking at the word from climate change in the future we decided to look at the countries which would be most impacted 5 o'clock i speak climatic events and then there were julia as country said we'd have a better understanding of which countries are most likely the. egg they were looking at there was $1000000000.00 people in what we had to close plus a lot of police countries which are likely to be impacted by it and yet major climatic abets but more telling when we looked at the got the 20 part countries of the global peace index 103000000000 people men who are doing the analysis and combined with the likely areas hit by climate challenge. the police with getting our gear what nations most predators are and which ones best to direct out towards them do you have a concrete example of how you link climate change with and risk to peace and stability. sure you get your couple play examples so we look at let's say $100.00 per which it had to reconsider the way that the country imploded practically about it but it kind of you could still not back to what it was prior to that climatic end if we wanted to wait like chet look at leat conflicts and so. much of that was aggravated by the drying up like chad and similarly if we went to the medicare is nigeria we look at the conflicts between the pastoralists clearly there in the car you can see that that also is exaggerated because of the era that serious think. your report says for the 1st time in 5 years global peacefulness is on the rise but if you look back a decade there has been a steady decline in peace in the now what is the driver behind this decline in 50 sensibility. if you look at the drop of part of the decline it's really the worst of the middle east then a plan want to fix into our country it's so if we look at the iraq right now so if you look at the place it's been dropping since 2004 day one that was the rise crassus supply and territory in iraq and then expanded into syria and so what's happened now that the vastness from the territories and iraq and also about are harming nigeria we're now starting to see a change in place as we look at europe for example luke 6 countries in europe $22.00 improved the sheet that is put right to criticism the level of the appearance of activity decrease in the number of refugees recruitment in the homeless right now also improvement in their class are actually right right and this is steve killelea have founder of
