the media are saying i'm let's not forget that just yesterday unsealed documents were released related to the jeffrey epstein case and of course now today we're talking about his apparent suicide so as you can imagine this is dominating the news over here in the united states and tiffanie a lot more to come out about this story but tell us a bit more about exactly who this man was and what he was charged with. well jeffrey epstein was a billionaire financier he actually began as a teacher he had some very high profile contacts he was often seen socializing with current president donald trump former president bill clinton and even prince andrew of the british royal family but it wasn't just ben the world or very high profile members you know in the world of entertainment and business and even politics

take an action against him have said that they're not going to stop their fight and they plan on the. pace that basically with this issue through the civil courts so they've said they're not going to give up so i don't think it's going to be the last we've heard of that jeffrey epstein case for now anyway. in washington thanks very much for the update. that's hong kong now where they've been renewed clashes between police and pro-democracy protesters place hired to get protesters who were holding an authorized demonstrations entered occasions it's the 10th consecutive weekend of protests that were triggered by opposition to a proposed law that would have been allowed extradition from hong kong to mainland china. activists held a number of other protests earlier in the day that remained peaceful including a sit in at hong kong airport. at the airport protesters assembled for a 2nd day to greet passengers arriving in the city drawing international attention

to their cause saturday morning also saw a rather tranquil rally in support of the pro-democracy movement they brought together families demanding a stable and free future the wave of protests began 3 months ago in opposition to draft legislation to allow suspects in criminal cases to be tried in mainland china but the demands have widened. i'm worried if the extradition law to china is imposed or this movement of ours is a failure my kids might have no democracy or freedom and a lot of things will be taken over by the mainlanders. a group of elderly people also submitted petition letters to the police and the authorities to stop and investigate what they call violence against the protesters especially of clashes in july normal the reputation of the hong kong police was so good for more than a decade but it was completely destroyed on july the 21st i don't know how many years it will take to restore the trust of the people i was on. at the same time
