in the bloodshed left beijing reeling. students trying to count the dead estimates vary from several 100 to fountain's. function mock up sufficient frankly after what i'd experienced in beijing i didn't give a damn anymore about democracy freedom victory and all 50. images of the military crackdown sent away for shock and horror around the world. while the military secured control of beijing it also used force to crush protests and other chinese cities. and then public outrage western government slapped sanctions on beijing. a government. led to survive most shoot at the young people it is racist you know certainly and it stands against them in the name of freedom. so this will. such a government has no future so if you know about it in. china secret police now know which to relentless hunt for activists that released photographs of the most wanted offering rewards for information leading to their arrest. they were now china's public enemy number one. when i see myself on the top of the list it's like number 2 i said well

going to sack beijing we'll get her view will be forward end of her term but beijing will not remove her right away there is a need for beijing to save face and have for people who have to or push really and or scary lamb but beijing we were. i really am not have backed down yet. and basically suspended the view. on a tag and you've heard what both steve and emily said how embarrassing is this climbdown for beijing was it instigated by of aging. highly doubtful i mean beijing is trying to keep an eye on the situation they rely on carey lamb to take control and to manage things and i think they're deeply disappointed i would agree with my colleague from england that this is going to be a situation where they will back her now but probably look for a replacement before the term has and an enemy after somebody is processed what happens next will will public anger in hong kong subside will the legislation do you think be brought back once things have calmed down or will it be allowed to rocks like 2003 xp article 23 national security law well if kerry lamb refuses to withdraw the bill as

but there have been plenty of signs that beijing is already influencing politics and the state of the media in hong kong the south china morning post long considered the newspaper of record was bought by the chinese e-commerce giant alibaba in 2015 and has since seen a mass exodus of staff complaining about soft coverage of china but that same year another paper ming power was criticized for killing an investigative story on the tiananmen square massacre and replacing it with a piece on alibaba as a role model for young entrepreneurs and on the current protest story ming pao journalists posted an open letter critical of the paper's biased reporting in favor of the authorities and police and taking issue with editorials that called the protesters rioters is not just about the bill but about. the china's attitude towards press for their own and this understanding of judicial independence so for journalists and editors from hong kong they have been rest or even sentenced to jail by. charges that have nothing to do with their report hong kong being a key information hop for journalists no

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 them to internally send very very strong messages to hong kong how they want this handled basically from their point of view kerry had one job to do and that was to keep hong kong stable and to not have any protests and she failed majorly in this one big task that you have from beijing so she's going to get a lot of heat from the central government all right bart senior chinese expert of the vettel institute here in berlin we thank you very much for your insights thank you. now let's turn to some of the other stories making news around the world the jerusalem court has convicted sarah netanyahu the wife of israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu of misusing state funds after she spent thousands of dollars on lavish meals at her official residence fraud charges were dropped as part of a plea bargain in which she'll pay a fine. saudi arabia has bla

it wasn't she who blinked it was beijing. she claims that the extradition idea was her own idea but of course and i i wasn't even. making this an ad hoc attack against carrie lam who seems to be a sort of colorless bureaucrat for the most. part but the truth is all of the i i arrived in hong kong and that was to gee why and then i still -- at donald saying and then i left and there's been a couple listens they're all puppets of beijing that's the way the system is set up that's what you guys were protesting against you wanted to elect the. and the low end ledge go but also the chief executive directly and they're not so of course. them it is understood that they're there and party to represent the interests of beijing and that's not against carrie lam i think it whether she if she were to resign. emmett which could happen as we speak. i'm the that they would m. there would be a new puppet it wouldn't solve anything as far as i'm concerned. rate josh will wong an activist who played a leading role in the twenty fourteen protes

that injuries to happen critics argue the change in the law could be used to extradite opponents of beijing to the mainland where they could face summary trial in china's courts why they're yellow. was that lamb insists the change in the law is needed her opponents are angry that the initiative is only suspended and not withdrawn altogether. say you know you go on carry lamb says she will stop stabbing and i say that she's refused to take out the knife and we know if she pushes the knife further she will pierce the heart of the hong kong people. they accuse lamb of being a puppet of the central government in beijing but china insists that hong kong matters are a purely chinese internal affair and not for outsiders to interfere in and lamb has its full support pro-democracy groups have called for her to quit especially because she has sided with the police whom they accuse of using excessive force to disperse crowds they have called for even more people to protest on sunday. than will be hoping the suspension of the controversial bill will reduce the level of anger and numbers of protesters

will beijing stick to the free transfer agreement. so let me pass that last question straight on to all of you and start out with you . do you think that the agreement will hold even till 2047. in mouth in me and i think it will all these things that china is trying to do now it's not to push that. to be reached like i think what they want to do is just to make sure that. gradually and slowly hong kong will become more similar to just other cities in china and their power. to hong kong people were less. less. obvious just before that they was reached and so they just want to have this gradual change so they $47.00 it will be. peaceful and crack you change off the systems but you know obviously home people are not buying that andreas so you're clearly skeptical about the group agreement holding in the long term what about the short to medium run well and not necessarily by the greenman holding on paper because remember that point about the time horizons it's not it's never been in china's interest to have a tenement square on the stree

is the bureau chief for newsweek in beijing and she joins me now from there good to have you with us live on al-jazeera you were there at the time in that very pivotal moment between may and june in 1989 what are your clearest memories of the event. i think it was just simply the wash of all kinds of emotions you know there was exhilaration when the protest movement started growing amazement you know we we'd never seen scenes like that in beijing. for many many years and then of course on the night well on june 3rd it began and especially the night of june 3rd in the morning of june 4th it was it was terror it was horror that that we were experiencing and people were. i mean i wasn't where the worst of the casualties were but i still saw dozens of people shot wounded dead. and the soldiers just lining up and shooting lining up and shooting there were civilians in sickle carts who were trying to bring the the the victims away with bullets whizzing around and civilians were were often shouting at the soldiers and rolling them names calling them beasts trying to get them to stop and of

proposed law that would allow extraditions to mainland china they worry about the kind of influence beijing will have on hong kong the erosion of guarantees given by beijing concerning independent judiciary and individual freedoms could undermine investor confidence and threaten hong kong's place as a middle ground between china and the business world. look at some of the us is in a moment but 1st a quick refresher over the special status of kong one of the world's most important financial centers and busiest ports it's an enclave within china and has a special rights that diverged from chinese communist doctrine in $1898.00 britain opting to 99 year lease on the territory from the chinese that lease expired in 1970 britain transferred the colony back to china they didn't promise to uphold western style civil liberties in hong kong though it didn't free speech on the freedom of the press territory was to remain a separate customs entity and operated under a free trade regime so it could retain the status of international banking center so on call became an important gateway to china for wes

this is the response from beijing. translation: you asked whether china is using president xi you asked whether china is using president xi '5 state visit to the dprk as some kind of leverage. i must say people with such an idea just overthinking. so are we overthinking? what do you think? i still think the timing is interesting. it is indeed, but what a great response from the foreign minister there. patience, a great response from the foreign ministerthere. patience, it seems, is no longer a virtue at the us federal reserve. while it has held interest rates steady, it has dropped that keyword from its statements, and that is important because it strongly suggests that the world's most influential central bank will cut the cost of borrowing next month. the bbc‘s samira hussain has the details. at their last meeting in may, the federal reserve felt that the labour market was strong, inflation was near its 2% objective, consumer confidence was also strong, and it seemed that the trump administration was close to inkin

she represents beijing and in effect chinese president xi jinping. now protesters want to go on to adding a voice to calls for just vision resignation i'm sorry is. the most recognizable face of the pro-democracy movement in hong kong he was released from prison only today after serving a reduced sentence for his role in the umbrella of 24. you know because one t.v. kong is in the city she caught up with joshua wong for his take on these protests. and the question are you confident that the people power of hong kong can finally defeat. this move no hope to a. people i believe when more people. of the citizen. join despite. the government. while waiting for a miracle and turning something impossible to be possible. how how do you find it what you think as an activist and a protester what should they do in the next to put an extension to the pressure of action demonstration randi is the way out we continue to put pressure on that disappear. and do well when you're in the place and i know you watched the usa to know. what is your feeling how do you mean

kong organizers estimate 2000000 people in the city streets calling for the resignation of hong kong's beijing leader that's after she gave in to demands to shelve a controversial extradition but also coming up what's in a name israel remains a golan heights settlement trumped by its to honor u.s. president donald trump for his recognition of israeli sovereignty over the contested territory. and the united states continues to do the job and ate the business world cup thanks to a record setting performance by striker charlie cook. i'm carl aspen thanks for joining us nearly 2000000 people have been rallying in hong kong demanding the resignation of the city's pro beijing leader carried lap she bowed to pressure and apologized to the public for her handling of the proposed bill that would allow extraditions to mainland china or democracy demonstrators want that bill scrapped completely they worried the proposed law is one of many steps to chip away at hong kong's freedoms and equal autonomy. to more than a week of massive protests the human tide showed no sign of abating. it was carrie lem's 2nd

bureau chief for newsweek magazine and she joins me now from beijing good to have you with scan. to get your reaction to the images that you might have seen it where you are in beijing though we know that they might be quite restricted because of the way the internet works there of how the security forces in hong kong used tear gas and batons to disperse the crowds yes of course the chinese t.v. and chinese media are not definitely not covering the hong kong protests. but there are ways to get around that and i have seen the reports and i have seen some video and i've got to say that the crowds. were were stunning and the heavy handed response was also rather surprising the use of rubber bullets tear gas and pepper spray. that apparently has successfully cleared the street that they wanted to clear but it is it makes for some ugly images indeed i mean in terms of the numbers of people that seem to have gathered for this demonstration against this extradition law and from your understanding and perception of how chinese leaders would be looking at hong kong right now how would the

she is considered by many to be a puppet of beijing, a mouthpiece for beijing. we got reports that she met with senior chinese officials yesterday in shenzhen and that that was when it was decided how did they resolve this situation, which as we were anticipating could potentially get out of hand. if this was going to be rushed through. and that certainly was the plan of the government to push this through before the lawmakers here in hong kong broke for summer, which is in a matter of weeks. so it was quite remarkable that they were trying to push it through so quickly but they knew that the protesters were not going to back down. these are people fighting for hong kong's freedom, fighting for whatever semblance of democracy they can hold on to. there is a real fear, obviously, that their democratic rights, their freedoms are being very quickly eroded as china continues to place more control here in hong kong. >> and anna, what the people of hong kong have shown i think quite consistently is each time they feel their freedoms are under threat they are willing t

this is not an order from beijing. but beijing wants the unrest brought to a halt. and beijing may have put some pressure on her to end this impasse that is going on. i think it's going to make things very difficult on carrie lam and her remaining three years. i don't see how she can govern hong kong. >> yeah. there's a great deal of speculation as to whether she will last out her tenure. frank, let me ask you this, is this history repeating this? in 2003, we saw mass demonstrations in hong kong, of people protesting against that national security bill, that bill that would crack down on treason, on sedition. the hong kong government, they backtracked. they did what carrie lam did yesterday. they shelved it. that was 2003. it's now 2019. could we see a similar thing happen with this extradition bill? >> there's similarities and there's differences. in 2003, the then-chief executive could not proceed because he did not have the support in the legislature. the liberal party withdrew its support. without their support, they could not pass this bill. this time, it's dif

in this one big task that you have from beijing so she's going to get a lot of heat from the central government all right bart senior chinese expert of the vettel institute here in berlin we thank you very much for your insights thank you let's turn now to some of the other stories making news around the world. saudi arabia has blamed its rival iran for the recent attacks on oil tankers in the persian gulf tensions are escalating after the united states released a video that it says proves that iran is behind the attacks for its part tehran says the allegations are baseless. a jerusalem court has convicted sara netanyahu the wife of israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu of misusing state funds that's after she spent thousands of dollars on lavish meals at her official residence fraud charges were dropped as part of a plea bargain in which chill pay a fine. while a massive power outage has left all of argentina and uruguay as well as parts of neighboring countries in the dark residents of we're going to capital montevideo were among the 10s of millions of people affected by the ou

many people in on kong regard carolan was being a little more than a puppet of beijing and what we're seeing now very clearly is the divisions in hong kong are getting deeper we saw those divisions almost 5 years ago when hundreds of thousands of protesters many of them students occupied the center of hong kong now on sunday we've had this huge protest involving perhaps as more than a 1000000 people it was largely peaceful there was a bit of violence at the end of the day and the violence of course is what caroline was also focusing on when she spoke to the press on monday morning in hong kong she has delivered a firm warning that such violence will not be tolerated so we could see perhaps stronger action from the police on wednesday which of course is when this extradition bill is due to have its 2nd reading so i sense we are moving towards a nother tinderbox movement moment rather in hong kong now state media here in beijing has also been basically supporting kerry lamb but also warning of what it says are foreign forces who are trying to create chaos in hong kong but the china dail

executivet, the chief of hong kong may be connected to beijing. fiveis why we organized years ago to ask for free elections. we deserve to freely elect the leader of our city. amanda: he was speaking to stephen engle. let's bring in stephen engle from hong kong. still in the streets. obviously, there will is strong, but what is the sense that they will get what they want, lam stepping down? >> that is what they are demanding, obviously. keep in mind, it is about 1:30 in the morning. that large rally you just talked about, that second rally on a sunday was a day and a half ago and they are still here. lam'ss in front of carrie offices, several thousand, mostly young students who were the leaders of these protests. about done a hand count, 62, so they are keeping a presence -- not a large presence -- granted, it is early in the morning. they will be back first thing in the morning. they are not trying to paralyze the city necessarily, but they want to keep the pressure on carrie lam. carrie lam on saturday suspended this controversial extradition wi

helped push beijing and moscow closer together. war had helped push beijing and moscow closer togetherlj war had helped push beijing and moscow closer together. i think that definitely the trigger, but i think it probably goes back further. you could think of what is going on between xi and putin at the moment asa between xi and putin at the moment as a bromance, but it is a bromance with geopolitical implications, because russia and china are two signal taking political cultures that really look to the top to see what is going on. and so yes, this is the us pushing xi and putin into each other‘s arms, against a background of two cultures that are still quite deeply suspicious of one another. so with xi and putin best friends, could this impactjump, do you think? i think anyone who tries to pretend to know what is in the mind of donald trump, you know, is onto a losing game there. but i think that, over the long run, this isn't really about trade, and it's more about the geopolitical, the military alliances, and just the signals. i mean, these are two leaders who have an authoritarian

have the power to interpret any tools their own way now the government in beijing is watching all of this very closely let's bring in our chiron china correspondent adrian brown of course we wait for reaction adrian as to the events of what's happening in hong kong and what the reaction might be is perhaps just a big question mark at the moment. yes indeed i mean in spite of those dramatic pictures we've seen coming out of hong kong on wednesday not a single image of those protests has appeared on television screens here in china and that i think is a measure of the nervousness of the leadership feels right now it doesn't want the people in this country to see pictures of students battling police on the streets of hong kong or on the streets of a chinese city where there were protests just 4 years ago now on wednesday we heard from gong show on he's the foreign ministry spokesman here in beijing who briefs the likes of us the foreign media and he stressed once more that you know the central government fully backs kerry and her efforts to introduce this extradition law he says that ex

carrie lam more beijing? adrian: i would say beijing has a very strong interest. david: let's welcome managing director and chief asset .trategist you lived for many years in hong kong and beijing. is this a further step along the continuum starting in 1997 when hong kong became part of china toward a full integration? >> beijing has been tightening its grip. the belief among many people was that hong kong was the goose that laid golden make. beijing would not want to kill it -- that laid the golden egg. beijing would not want to kill it. beijing is prioritizing control over the special characteristics that make hong kong what it is. david: how much of that are facts on the financial ground. continuing the analogy about the golden eggs, shanghai is laying a fair number of golden eggs it did not have a 1997. always: beijing has viewed that it wanted to shift activity and the mainland and the new financial center will be shanghai. hong kong is still the services and financial center for a lot of people in china and for the region. if you look at the big banks, most

it is only a losing proposition for beijing. but if they handled it poorly then you can't trust beijing. but that dpp coalition in the early 2020. and in january emphasizing to systems that was never popular in taiwan. and with that extradition and then another reminder to people in taiwan and with the electoral community. so i think they're probably in a better place. >> it would be hard to underestimate what substantial setback have been for president xi it's very easy for us to underestimate the impact talk to friends inside the us government several of them have been surprised and the american role there and i would say that what we are seeing that president xi decision to go to north korea isn't so much by president trump but as a way to usurp your stature you have to find someplace you can go. that's only place you can go that would accommodate that is north korea. it is entirely likely with a very substantial set of setback setbacks. >> but many hong kong people and is now hong kong area and 20 years ago and of those meth

has a say in that and beijing is not known for seeking dialogue with people who protest it as we all know so it's very hard to predict what's going to happen next. it's also unlikely that the government will put forward this bill any time soon be. as it would just ignite the whole city again so if we just look at the the main issue of this bill i think protesters are already more successful than that time but in getting more freedoms and getting more say in the city's politics i doubt there will be significant steps in the near future. just how much is hong kong's otani and its independence from mainland china really at risk. pos rhythms are eroding they have been eroding slowly over the past few years we have seen for example beijing abducting people from the city and putting them in jail in china so this is probably presumably a reason why beijing also wanted this bill although now the probe it income says it was kerry lam's idea but beijing would have had a legal handling to just have people from hong kong delivered to mainland china and there wouldn't have to dock them critical b

the is notable for us is silence coming from beijing. toldng has essentially washington we are not interested in dealing with trade until the huawei issue on the u.s. entity list is resolved. understanding our beijing is waiting for washington to make that first move, and thus we are in this current standoff. vonnie: if president trump doesn't do something about that thing of law way and the g20, will president xi still be present to meet -- still be pressured to meet with president trump? he'sith: he has made, that willing to move forward on chinese exports, and so far xi has not engaged the president on this. if we don't see any confirmation or see signs for a meeting, i think late this week or early next it will be difficult for anything substantial to come from that meeting. if there is a meeting between so, there is a 30% probability that there will not be a truce and how contentious the relationship has become since the most recent u.s. escalation. that means we are certainly likely to see president trump move for writs on portion

be on friendly terms with beijing if she wants to be reelected and this bill is something that the beijing government has made very clear that it wants it and it's very clear why it wants it so a lot of people from mainland china have sought refuge previously in hong kong people who were accused of corruption for example also hong kong booksellers for example have published books that were very critical of the chinese party china has abducted some of these people from hong kong they reappeared in chinese courts a clear violation of any law but don't come government has not protested against it so the suspicion that this law is supporting native 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. now at the women's world cup germany took on staying in their 2nd great game of group b. both sides won their opening match making the winner of the extras favorites to end up toppling the group topping excuse me charity prevailed but it was a tough battle in the rain have a look. germany without injured star

do you fear as well that this is open to why did divide between hong kong and the beijing government and it raises bigger questions about beijing's whole influence on hong kong going forward well of course it does i mean they say that the beijing office shows that just across the boundary monitoring everything telling kerry lead what you say so when country 2 systems it's really crumbled and so you are all freedoms and the look you know all that's want really very concerned it's not just about hope promise of one country 2 systems seem to be slipping away and the one accord on your calibrated it is snowing precious little so that's why we have to link to the international community your immunity to speak out on our behalf. and what about the protests i mean is there is the sort of genie out of the bottle now so to speak that they as far as where where things go from here in the detail the other issues that they would be afraid to to to bring up now. well i think the protests assent never being afraid but what the well have seen in the last few days but you really are 1000000 people m

but there have been plenty of signs that beijing is already influencing politics and the state of the media in hong kong the south china morning post long considered the newspaper of record was bought by the chinese e-commerce giant alibaba in 2015 and has since seen a mass exodus of staff complaining about soft coverage of china but that same year another paper ming powell was criticized for killing an investigative story on the tiananmen square massacre and replacing it with a piece on alibaba as a role model for young entrepreneurs and on the current protest story ming pao journalists posted an open letter critical of the paper's biased reporting in favor of the authorities and police and taking issue with editorials that called the protesters rioters is not just about the bill but about. the china's attitude towards press for their own and this understanding of judicial independence journalists and editors from hong kong they have been rest or even sentenced to jail by. charges that have nothing to do with their report hong kong being a key information hop for journalists not just

she order polish and a lot polish hold a gun should twist people just apply what beijing. that in 98 and i. just copy what happened in and care and hold on such a more. she is not capable anymore how can the leader of the government allow polish holder twist people retire bill. clinton to you've got him in a mentioning tiananmen square which by the way in china is not even a part of official memory and we really want to forget that could be beijing tried to reason in a resort to tiananmen square your measures one day to bring hong kong. i don't think we're going to see something like tenement square i mean this is a lot of people so much autonomy the international focus is there it's a different situation but there are things that beijing can do. it's been a terrible month for beijing it started off with the 30th anniversary of the $989.00 crackdown on the democracy movement and then barely 2 weeks later we had this huge expression of disapproval with with mainland china as tactics shall we say in hong kong so now we have to see what is going to do and how they're going to
