Well hong kongs governments tame has said that those extradition proposals of the put on indefinite hold but thats not enough for the protesters on here right in the center of hong kong that building there is the place headquarters this being the scene of quite a lot of the demonstrations in the last few days last friday that building was blockaded the place people werent allowed out by the protesters and thats happened again right now weve seen barricades being put up around the gates of that play station none of the place in the work is inside a able to get out now largely this has been peaceful if rowdy and loud i dont exaggerate say its too much but the have been some studies thrown up windows i havent seen any windows smashed but certainly there was a tense scene out here about 3000 people gathered in total earlier there were about a 100000 bomb i guess who will gather in a park in the center of hong kong for a big peaceful rally much more mainstream if you like these are more about making anger with the place known and thats because of the way you the police handled some of the protests 10 days ago now when the legislation which at that stage hadnt been suspended was being debated in the latest of this council here in hong kong and the protests around that were met with tear gas with rubber bullets and a lot of people were arrested as well and the protesters here have various demands the full withdrawing of those extradition proposed i dont think the suspension is enough they want kerry land the chief executive to resign and they want those who were arrested during those protests a week or so but now to be released so theyve got various demands now some of those demands links to previous protests and that is what this is all about right now their anger with the police is very clear right and i mean we have seen within the past couple of weeks suddenly absolute historic record numbers out on the streets of hong kong through the parent shaw if youll feel here may because im not hearing.

They dont think the president of china is listening to them now china has said they wont be any formal discussions about hong kong at the g. 20 but on the sidelines it might be discussed and thats what the earlier protest was all about earlier on wednesday to a certain extent thats what this is about as well making sure that hong kong is front and center not just in the minds of people in this city but of World Leaders as they meet in japan Andrew Thomas doing an excellent job in hong kong even though he cant hear me and you tell us thank you very much indeed now for harrowing photographs of a father and his daughter who drowned in a river on the Us Mexico Border is highlighting the dangers migrants face trying to get into the u.

S. Where you can make one more you know in extent in working it was something that moved me deeply because it showed that up until her last breath she was joined to him not only by their shirts but also in that embrace in which they passed together into death. 25 year old martinez was from el salvador he was crossing the rio grande with valerie on his back tucked inside his t. Shirt when they were swept away by strong currents his wife was waiting on the mexican side of the shoreline and survived. Them something bad like this happen before you see the river and it appears very calm i think thats why the father thought he could cross but the rio grande has a lot of deep powerful currents downstream.

German charity ship with 42. 00 migrants on board has entered italian waters see whats 3 said it decided to land in lampedusa off the coast of italy because the situation on board was so desperate that this move comes after the interior minister of italy imitator salvage any he bought the ship from its forces saying it will be seized see what said the migrants have become desperate after the European Court of human rights on jews they rejected their appeal to be allowed to disembark initially ive been speaking to chris growe dot skee who is spokesman for sea watch he thinks the refugees and migrants aboard may now be allowed to disembark. Help the situation before with italy has tried to bar us from entering and telling waters for quite a while now for over a year he has already seized other ships and also our ship has been seized a couple of times or a short while for 2 or 3 weeks but has always been released after the time because never there was. An illegal or grounds to hold us for longer so we have always acted in accordance with International Law when we rescue people in the mediterranean and therefore there is no reason for. Actually seizing our busy ship even though suddenly now made a new to korea trying to ease this procedure to seize our ship they will hopefully be disembark very soon to the port of lampedusa usually like last time which is only a couple of weeks back we wouldnt enter the port of lampedusa but the Italian Coast Guard would in this case. Where we have busy entered National Waters already in a state of necessity they would send the boat to then pick up these people from our boat bring them to them produce up bring them to the what that is there where there are already hundreds of people who have arrived to the mediterranean on their own now insects are vital for the survival of the planet but researches say theres an alarming decline in their numbers they say pesticides is killing off many of the ponds lawrence lee has a story. One of the problems for insects is that humans dont tend to notice if theyre there or not but if people dont start paying more attention than the consequences could be catastrophic for all of us in country after country in europe and beyond there is evidence of bees butterflies months and other species disappearing that knocks on to the survival of birds reptiles and fish which live off the insects of the food chain it will inevitably affect humans they pollinate 75 percent of the crops that humans grow 87 percent of all plant species on the planet need pollinating. Insects would disappear then most plants would go all flowers more or less would die they get rid of chi parts and dead bodies and keep the soil healthy and do a whole bunch of stuff so essentially life on earth as we know it would come to an end if we didnt have insects this part of england is only 60 kilometers south of london yet it looks like a refuge for wildlife but declining numbers seem to be everywhere measuring insect numbers isnt that straightforward as a motorway its traditionally been done is by counting a bug splats on a car windscreen they used to be the case that if you drove around a part of england like this in the summer by the end of the day you windscreen would be cakes where weve just spent most of the day in the car and barely a mark on it. The reasons for this are all known no farmers are usually blamed for the widespread use of pesticides in modern agriculture so you actually when you spend more time you spend the more you look and so your 1st rule is no nicely everywhere while the u. K. Is seen as badly affected farmers here argue it is still possible to protect insects in terms of crowd Rights Action is really important how about diversity in the landscape so you can see here we have cattle grazing in fields we have cropped so we have lots of different types of crops never have assigned crop in the field twice and then really try and minimise the use of the inputs we use we really try to minimize the use of insect insecticides for example because clearly thats going to be good for the environment as worse having spikes around in all the trees in the hedge rows where margins you say its all that spice for nature along saw growing food a recent global study of insect decline suggested numbers having every 25 years that suggests it isnt too late to turn things around but in the u. K. At least the reason why people keep protesting is that it seems a priority for barely any politicians largely aljazeera in sussex. Tough is a take a look at the top stories here it is there a u.
