Activists in hong kong vow to press on with mass protests on sunday despite the government suspending its controversial extradition bill. Oh i Maryam Namazie in london youre with aljazeera also coming up on the program irans president says his country will continue to scale back its compliance with the nuclear deal as tensions escalate over a tanker attacks in the gulf we look at the plight of nigerias for loni people as the battle for land and water turns more deadly and the community thats fighting back as gentrification drives thousands out of mexico city. Welcome to the program our top story hong kongs embattled leader has suspended a highly controversial bill to allow extraditions to Mainland China after a week of sometimes violent protests carry a lamb said she had heard called government to pause and think but activists want the plan withdrawn for good and say they will still go ahead with another protest planned for sunday bride reports now from hong kong. After insisting for weeks that she wouldnt and couldnt back down hong kongs leader kerry lamb came out to say she was doing just that i now announce that the government has decided to suspend a legislative amendment exercice the governments attempt to push the legislation through hong kongs parliament the Legislative Council has led to the biggest street protests this city has seen in decades and violence between a minority of protesters and police who on wednesday used tear gas and rubber coated bullets to disperse a largely peaceful occupation of the streets the 80 also injuries very minor tearing generating minor injuries that we have seen. May be replaced by very serious injuries to my Police Colleagues and to ordinary citizens whether they are very few years protesters are just ordinary students joining the protests i dont want any of 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 chinas courts why oh there you know. 7 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that lamb insists the change in the law is needed her opponents are angry that the initiative is only suspended and not withdrawn altogether.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 so she will stop stabbing and i say that shes 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 the puppets 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 lam has its full support. Prodemocracy 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 we will adopt the most sincere and humble attitude will just sap criticisms and make improvements so that we can continue to connect with the people of hong kong but many here believe kerry lam is only backing down now because shes afraid of more violence and they say if a 1000000 people in the streets cant change her mind they have little faith in the consultation process she is now promising rob mcbride al jazeera hong kong. Well. Previous protests have taken place in hong kong and why many say these are a different. In 1997 when hong kong was handed over from british control to china agreements were made certain liberties were to stay until 2047 like freedom of speech and an independent judiciary. But under president xi jinping beijing has rapidly exerted more Mainland Power over hong kong a move to change the electoral system in 2014 brought thousands of students onto the streets and what became known as the Umbrella Movement they occupied Central Hong Kong for 11 weeks in leicestershire was one of the leaders and several of his fellow leaders are serving prison sentences right if you go to visit them and hes now an assistant to a prodemocracy member of the Legislative Council with widespread public opposition to the governments push for a new law allowing extradition to Mainland China he says the current protests are very different to what happened 5 years ago when we had the Umbrella Movement and its. Some random circumstances but in this time hong kong people are prepared to come out and protest people more prepared and determined than ever and nice sankoh born on the street something here in hong kong universe that you wont see anywhere on Mainland China a memorial of the massacre in Tiananmen Square in fact the largest gathering of people in hong kong before these recent protests took place just after that massacre 30 years ago this month kind of did point out that there historically hong kong is known as a city of protesters but many say this latest round has a specific goal blocking the extradition bill in this case and even though the opposition to the extradition that was about much more than just the bill that. Is the clear target in many ways so i think whats happening now is a little more focused. Many here say the Umbrella Movement failed its drive to push back against greater control by beijing with protesters preparing for sundays new march against extradition are determined this time things will be different its got harder aljazeera. Now saudi arabia is demanding more security for shipping routes through the gulf after explosions on 2 oil tankers the vessels were attacked in the gulf of oman on thursday 23 crew members from one of the ships arrived in dubai on saturday the u. S. Is pointing the finger at teheran but iran is denying involvement it some in the British Ambassador after person said it blame to iran for the tanker attacks china and the e. U. Say no one should jump to conclusions well irans president is saying his country will continue to pull back from its Nuclear Deal Commitments unless other countries protect it from american sanctions has done rouhani was speaking at a summit in tajikistan from burnet smith reports. Irans president has used a conference in tajikistan of leaders and diplomats from more than 30 countries to reinforce an ultimatum he made in may thats when his son rouhani said tehran will start enriching uranium at a higher level unless world powers to protect its economy from u. S. Sanctions within 60 days that would be a breach of irans commitments to the nuclear deal known as the j. C. P. O. Way agreed with those powers. Its obvious that iran cannot unilaterally remain committed to the joint comprehensive plan of action and its necessary that other countries contribution to the survival of this important agreement with our good will and strategic tolerance on one hand and the United States lawlessness on the other hand its been proven to everyone republic of iran while announcing its readiness for any interaction has decided to reduce its obligations under paragraph 26. 36 of the plan of action to restore balance the 2050 Nuclear Agreement restricts irans ability to enrich uranium in return for relief from the u. S. Led sanctions it was signed by the u. S. And the u. K. Germany france china russia and the e. U. But the Trump Administration unilaterally withdrew from the deal last year a decision russian president Vladimir Putin said in tajikistan he didnt agree with but games should be used in the we believe that the only sensible decision is for all deal participants to on a commitments as a russia is ready to do and for katters emir to men been hammered all funny there was a chance for his 1st meeting with the iranian president with an ongoing 2 year blockade by egypt bahrain the u. A. E. And saudi arabia catarrh is increasingly reliant on access to iranian airspace and trade routes while iran is looking for Regional Support theres been no mention here of the attacks on the 2 tanker. In the gulf on the thursday the u. S. Blames iran for that iran says its played no role both countries accuse each other of destabilizing the middle east and now theres just 2 weeks to go before irans ultimatum for sanctions relief expires burnitz with aljazeera. Well joining me now is senior political analyst ron bashara how much pressure did these recent tanker attacks in the gulf put on china russia the e. U. To take a stronger position on u. S. Policies in the gulf because of course further instability will have consequences beyond the region absolutely i would even say that even if if. France or russia or china thought iran was behind the tanker attacks that they would really take a position because they just think that 1st of all washington has lied before about this sort of deal with from vietnam to iraq. And and that the Top Administration having walked away from the nuclear deal is basically strategically responsible for the on going to school asian regardless of who created that act so my guess is that a lot of a good number of countries in the world london aside that probably has been under pressure from washington just decided not to take a quick was dition about the responsibility behind the tankers this is that caution in their response. But the iranians have made it clear that in the current circumstances and just with the presidency of donald trump himself the whole thing is just not conducive to any kind of talks on a gosh ations the path to diplomacy is obviously extremely difficult but is it is it still possible. Look under the circumstances and hearing what. Hominy has told the japanese Prime Minister shinzo be about i have nothing to till President Trump not now but later clearly the any notion of trust between washington and iran has disappeared with the advent of the throne of mr ition and the walk away from the iran nuclear and the imposition of sanctions on iran the way they did clearly there are 3rd parties. Exchanging some sort of notes between to ron and washington theres no doubt about that but in terms of settling the problem between washington the way the Obama Administration to get on the force 4 years of his administration sanctions and so on so forth and then really extensive negotiations and so on so forth id certainly dont see that happening but it all depends still on what position will china and russia take beyond the sort of symbol
