dismissed by beijing as little more than violent mobs pushing but it says is a blatant challenge to the one country 2 systems rule its strongest words yet very strong until you 1000 of what happened in hong kong violently striking in the last minute damaging facilities is an act of law and violating social order is a serious the law breaking behavior. the communist party has condemned the storming of hong kong's legislative council and its full support behind chief executive kerry land government it's backing a police investigation into the criminal responsibility of those involved on monday night saying offenders who feel the full force of the law. the chinese government are continuing to play down the takeover of hong kong's column and calling it the illegal behavior of a group of radicals but the intensity of the protest have no doubt time is

leadership and pundits and questions as to why so many who are resisting they do is control they see or perceive that somehow beijing is overreaching that it's violating what they perceive as the spirit or the agreement that was in the handover from beijing's point of view they're protecting their people and their country for now from chinese state media a familia party line continuing to protest will only undermine social order and harm hong kong. beijing is watching closely waiting to see of hong kong government is able to stamp out the unrest if not it may bring with these protesters fear the more more control from the mainland katrina you al-jazeera beijing. the founding chairman of the democratic party of hong kong is suspicious as to why police didn't do more to stop the protesters from entering the government building . why were they allowed to go into the bill good to begin bit the middle of you

walk and they did what they did but they didn't hurt anybody i mean that's a good thing nobody because they didn't want to hurt anyone in the the police are not going to do that and i repeat the word by the chinese bookman and the youth was relayed to the challenges of the one computer system who committed to 7 big income of hong kong universal suffrage that promises not kept rachid promise that they were not interested in hong kong for years they kept on to feel that they've been making the riches the whole world watching and doing. frankly faster and i'm not proud of calling on iran to immediately we're just it's enriching uranium reserves and nuclear watchdog confirmed tehran a stockpiling more enriched uranium then as allowed under the 2015 nuclear deal or on trial entries baker says u.s. pressure is only making the country stronger. america's problem is that they don't

know the middle east of the iranian nation and they think if they deploy some warships to the region they can suppress the determination of a nation but iranians have shown they have unified girls from should realize that a civilized nation will get more united when they are bullied if they understand their problems will be solved understanding it needs wisdom. about where has more from paris now according to european diplomatic sources britain france and germany 3 the 3 european signatories to the 2015 iran deal are really intent on trying to diffuse the situation after iran exceeded its uranium limits these diplomatic sources also say that these 3 powers are not going to trigger a special mechanism that was in shrine in the 2015 a deal which would lead to the reimposition of u.n. sanctions on iran the focus clearly for european powers is to try and

persuade to tehran to continue to comply with the deal earlier in the day we heard from the french president a matter of virus statement that was released by the elise a in which mark was calling on iran to reverse the steps it's taken to exceed its uranium linnet limits it's also urging tehran to comply with the deal saying that president bankroll really focus on the next few days on doing everything he can to make sure that this deal survived is something we also heard from the british foreign minister there is a clear desire on behalf of the europeans to continue to fight for this deal as they have done so ever since the united states pulled out and we impose sanctions last year. russia's defense ministry says 14 sailors have died in a fire on a navy submarine the deep sea vessels bases in the several more sky at or in russia's northern region the northern edge of the country there has happened in its territorial waters the best one reportedly caused by poisonous gases from fumes

now be confirmation by dawn or to the head of the european council the group of e.u. leaders who've been talking for the last few hours here in resumes negotiations and as many people predicted in the last few hours the president's nomination for the president of the european commission which is seen as the top job is set to go to from the law and she is germany's defense minister from chancellor angela merkel's c.d.u. party she's seen as a federalist which isn't which is a bad thing for some e.u. leaders a good thing for for others here in brussels she's a she's very much a well known politician in germany and well known around the continent also being being announced shall we show the belgian prime minister to head the european council taking over from donald tusk then. the the high representative

for foreign affairs basically the e.u. foreign minister. who's going to be just that burrell the spanish politician taking over from federico and then the i.m.f. head christine lagarde the french woman sets to be the heads of the european central bank so it's all come very quickly of course it has taken many many hours of negotiations behind the scenes one nomination which we're still to hear about is the president of the european parliament and there's been a lot about happiness amongst m.e.p. at the prospect of of everything being arranged in these deals in the the deal making here in brussels so we're still waiting on lots nadeem why has the heavy elections been more contentious this year than in the past. well it's partly to do with the changing political landscape as

a result of the european elections in may where traditionally the center right in the center left have dominated in the european parliament now it's a bit of a more mixed picture there are big gains for liberals for greens and for nationalist parties and there is a feeling that well the rules say that the top jobs the allocation of those jobs does have to reflect which parties do best in the elections none of the groupings on their own in the european parliament has an absolute majority the european people's party the center rights are the largest group it's a base been all along saying that very should get the job of commission president and now they have they seem to have got votes in the form of those who are from the lion but the other the other groupings have been insisting that very get something particularly in the last few hours the social democrats have been quite concerned

that they're being shut out of the process because the man who has tips to get the commission presidency was france timmons the dutch labor leader so we're waiting to see whether there be anything for them there but. in general there has been a lot of talk in the european parliament of actually trying to wrest back some kind of influence over these nominations. breaking news out of brussels and doing thank you. well europe's national leaders struggled to agree on their choice for the continent's top jobs the rift in european politics but on full display aren't sleigh has what are. here comes trouble and its name is the brics it party it is now the biggest single party in the european parliament and as such is the best representation of how this institution is in flux as just one example has already threatened to help vote down the e.u. budgets and it doesn't like the way that europe does deals the whole way the group

systems work again very undemocratic you know you have to tie up with people in 7 other countries and you know if you are leaving and everybody else wants to stay then there's no sense in that sort of britishers. they certainly started as they mean to go on turning their backs in the chamber during the inauguration ceremony as the european anthem was played. so there are new fault lines everywhere outside a big castle and demonstration in protest against spain for blocking their leader. from taking his seat inside. and across the floor of the chamber new rights wing populists viewed with fear and suspicion by the establishment sent to rights while over on the left surging greens and liberals many wearing yellow stop bricks it t. shirts are just as killer fights this is not politics as usual we're all out there doing our social media and it's getting a lot more attention than it did before and we've got more journalists coming here

as well and everything that raises the profile of european politics and helps people to understand how crucial it is to be part of the legal changes that are made here which is really we're leading the world in terms of legislation that protects people on the planet everything that can help that is a good thing so by the traditionally been the standards of strasburg this promises to be an argumentative european parliament with little sign the politicians are prepared simply to rubber stamp decisions that have been made by the european commission in brussels. proponents of political stability in europe will say that's messy you could just as well argue that it's democracy in action. european m.e.p. is and usually you get a shrug of the shoulders many of them are accused of using this place as a get rich quick vehicle making alliances for political expediency as much as for progress maybe the angry mood among the europeans will add a level of transparency and relevance to this place lawrence lee al jazeera in
