areas of course was the beijing foreign ministry or they might offices here in hong kong there are no protesters left here now all that's left is graffiti and a lot of rubbish as you mentioned the police moved in this before midnight using tear gas and rubber bullets to try and clear those protests as they please the streets which were blockaded around essential kind of power of hong kong but the message was initially just about the push to dump the extradition bill but the message is now broadening it's all about complaints to accusations that china is tightening its grip on home home and that's what these protesters are angry about and we've had protests every weekend for more than a month now and there are more protests and rallies planned again for next weekend . miss syria the move worrying development perhaps fisichella house emerged of protesters being attacked says the head says homework e tell us about this.

well this was a separate incident in a place in an area called you long which is the new territories which is a fair distance from where we are in central hong kong and what happened here was the videos released on social media show you that there was a mob of people wearing watch who are targeting those protesters who left the protest of the rallies yesterday and they were wearing black so that mob wearing what they attacked those protesters simply with big huge metal rods that the attacks were also indiscriminate they attacked a lawmaker here from hong kong parliament they also. attacked journalists and i'm from protections were quite violent a number of those protesters tried to flee at a skate by jumping on the interior are boarding him which is he trying to stay here to skype but there are a number of violent confrontations that it is worrying on the grounds that the police were called and some of these protests a lot of people who were targeted in these attacks have accused the police of not appearing soon enough they were pulling back you number of course to try and ask

them to come defend them but they didn't arrive the last few hours the police held a press conference where they defended themselves they said they simply when they did arrive they weren't geared up to deal with the mobile so they deal with these huge metal rods and these are the moment that the mob had no reports also suggest that this more were actually triads here to attack those protesters i'm revenge of the recent rallies we've seen over the last few weeks ok sarah clarke lives there for us and hong kong for i thank you there's plenty more still to come on the use our including the u.s. secretary of state is in mexico city with immigration at the top of his agenda. digital lenders kenya's easy money mobile loans are pushing many into debt. and irish eyes are smiling machine larry wins the open championship by 6 points peter will have all the details for you in sports.

exit polls show the party of ukraine's new president ford's amir's olinsky house want to snap parliamentary election the former comedian called the foes after his landslide victory in april and palmer was packed with his opponents he wanted to secure a greater mandate reforms than it appears to pay it off as mohammed also reports. these elections how president will admit his alinsky is fast major political test the vote was initially set for october but zelinsky the committee in time politician dismissed parliament in his integration speech in may and called for paul sicking us truong monday for his 7th of the people put it to pursue what he says would be an ambitious program of reforms of the cosmos with it was 1st time

voters in the capital kiev could barely hide the end site and about spitting in the elections this. procedure was clear for me even though i never voted before but nevertheless it's funny to take part in the elections when you have the vote and you know that your vote will matter taking into account what is happening in the country it's also it's very cool exit polls released moments of the voting and that predicted victory for zilinskas someone to the people with about 40 percent of the votes not quite an outright majority teach it to be looking at us he we are grateful to the people of ukraine for their support thank you that was appalled the people of ukraine for their great trust in our party and a servant of the people and i am allowed to say servant to the people you see there's no more campaigning i'm now campaigning only for ukraine because zelinsky house sadie's most likely candidate for coalition partner in parliament is that recently formed a whole host of voice pertti of ukrainian rock star c.v.s.

toast but country i vote for the future. i vote for volleyball because i think that all the mornings. already show the result in a year we are all of france at this point so we need to change but it's not enough to change anything all you present here we need to change right in order to make real changes to our part into willingness to place ukraine in the harms of nervous politicians analysts say. symptomatic of the public's discontent with establishments ukrainians in the majority they do not trust in old politicians and those new are coming to power with the presidency landscape and with the rest of political parties they are on experience and it will be is serious test definitely it will not be in easy work for presidency lenski and for his majority or for

his call listen. to all of the country was able to take part in this not elections because we are still remain under russian control and influence of deila that will be one of the 1st issues the lansky will have to resolve now that he is but he has a bit of a persons in parliament mohamed el al jazeera well let's get more on this millions airing is the editor of ukraine alert at the atlantic council and joins us now live from washington thanks very much for speaking with us here on al-jazeera this clearly strengths and positions so what can we expect from this ambitious program of reform. we still don't know how all of this the honest answer is alinsky is an untested comedian who has never held any office and he's been president for about 2 months but parliament has stymied almost every effort he's had so now that he's going to have a new parliament and today he won about 44 percent if the exit polls are correct.

he's finally could have a chance to put his agenda into place and we're finally going to know who this man is and we're going to have to know more about his links to all of arcs a lot of people are worried that he has links to all of arcs and these are going to be major players in his administration we still don't know but we're going to find out very soon as soon as parliament comes in and they form a new government ok well the. reports president is a comedian these potentially going into coalition with the pope star what does this say about the state of politics in ukraine right now. so it says a couple of things it says that the voters are upset and they want new faces and that they're willing to take inexperienced people who have broad name recognition who seem to have high integrity and who are not connected to the old dirty political elite voters are so angry that there will it back in april they elected

inexperience comedian over a wartime president by a 3 to one margin so the linsky the president may go into a coalition with the largest pop star in ukraine slovak or chub and if that happens that's a very good sign that sends a signal that ukraine is committed to a pro western a trajectory that it wants to join the european union that it wants to join nato that it wants to embrace economic liberalization that it wants to go into a deal with the i.m.f. it will tell foreign investors that this government is serious about joining about its european aspirations so if this happens if we see a merger between zelinsky and the rock star that's a very good sign and the other piece to watch though is who is alinsky will name as his prime minister if he picks a technocrat that is also a good sign that will reassure foreign investors there's a linsky serious about reform so far he's talked a very good game he's talked about ending corruption he's talked about brain business and he's encouraged foreign investors to give ukraine another look but we

don't know if he's serious and he hasn't had a pliable parliament that all changes today well the risen another serious suspect to consider and that is of course the own growing conflict in the east of the country what do you anticipate happening in this regards. so the landscape is interesting because he's changed the rhetoric with the east he is a native russian speaker and he wants to take a softer kinder approach to the east and he wants to win hearts and minds he's talked about using television and communing with communicating with people in the dawn boss and trying to make arguments that appeal to people i think that in general though his foreign policy is going to look very much like his predecessors ok mullins a lot. to look forward to see where there's a wait and see how that plays out but for now thanks very much indeed for your thoughts melinda herring there joining us live from washington d c now reports of

rico's in brussels governor has an eye as he won't speak seeking reelection next year botts he's refusing to give in see protesters calling for his immediate resignation in a video posted on facebook ricard to resale said he would also stepped in as leader of his party well this follows days of demonstrations cold after messages really showing him as advisors insults and women political opponents and victims of hurricane maria. you've got. a significant sector of the population has been protesting for days i am aware of the dissatisfaction and the uneasiness that you feel your right to express yourself will always be safeguarded by our constitution to which puerto rican i have heard you and i hear you today i have made mistakes and i have apologized i am a man of good that has a great love for my island and for everyone well on the joins us now live from san juan just how much of

a game changer is this announcement. i think it's we'll have to see probably on monday because that's when and huge protests are planned for here in san juan puerto rico and all over the island actually organizers saying they expect hundreds of thousands of people it was planning to be the biggest protest so far since this crisis began the biggest political crisis this island has ever seen and so up to see on monday how big these protests sort of see how much of a game changer this is i will tell you though having been here for a week and talking to everyone i was asking people even before this saying if he said he would not run for reelection but wanted to stay in power would that be enough everyone has said absolutely not so i don't think this will change much on the street i think most people are still going to be out protesting wanting him out of power because that's what they've been telling us all week they said they will accept nothing less than his full resignation and on this message that he posted on

facebook unexpectedly on sunday evening he made it very clear that while he will step down from the presidency of his political party the new progressive party and while he will not seek reelection november of 2028 to said also as you mentioned he will not step down as governor and i think most people here are simply not going to be satisfied that the will give the has been unprecedented process going on that like he say you've been speaking to the protesters if this isn't going to be enough for the how do you see this playing out. well that's the big $1000000.00 question i think this is a governor that now thinks that he's going to. play out the rest of his term however i don't know how he can possibly do that he has not been seen publicly since last weekend when this political crisis began when these private text messages were leaked publicly he has not been seen publicly he's only had one press

conference sent sent a very short one his base been holed up in his house and the governor's mansion the whole week so how he thinks he can govern this country i simply don't know i think he's hoping that this facebook post tonight sunday night him saying that he will not seek reelection will be enough to call people on the streets although that seems very very unlikely if he was to step down it would then go the next in line would be the secretary of state here but that person has already stepped down as well because they were involved in this texting standoff so this is an island here that is very much in deep deep political crisis and where does this go from here that's the big question and nobody seems to know but i can tell you that these protests are some of the biggest we've seen here in puerto rico in the last 20 years or so and there is absolutely no sign of this letting up ok gabriel ozone joining us live from san juan thank you very much indeed. the british finance

states that we've been talking about across the midwest and the northeast of the united states now that is also set to change because you can see this cloud on is bringing some rain but also some cooler fresh air however sunday is still a warm day we're going to see these temperatures still well above the average but remember it's not just about the temperatures it's about how it feels and we've got some very humid air in place that will fail warmer than the 37 in place to washington d.c. 36 in new york but look what happens as we head on into monday that front swings through and the temperatures really fall back in fact below the average for chicago and kansas city at 27 degrees that's where the rain is throughout monday working its way through the eastern seaboard also trading down into the southeast so temperatures here a little below par as well but if i choose day 26 in atlanta that certainly is

cooler than it expect to see meanwhile 24 in washington and new york out towards the west you go all the cloudy with a high of 30 celsius and 18 in san francisco and we had downed tools the caribbean we have got a fair few showers heading their way across the leeward and windward islands blanketing much of the region in clouds not about day monday across central america but it's choose day we'll see more in the way of rain not. 24 celsius but a wet day in mexico city with a high of 22 degrees. for 23 years mohsin has collected objects he finds along the coast. enough to fill his museum enough to break a guinness world record. with a story for every object he's become an environmental activist an inspired artist and a voice for the plight of countless markets. my chin is in such

is completely unacceptable the minister of state for foreign affairs calls on the international community to act to prevent violations of international law cohen said consideration of the seizures will increase tensions and put maritime safety at risk and cutter's foreign minister called for restraint and urged all parties to work to resolve the situation and the oman is also calling for a peaceful resolution calling on iran to release the captured tanker well stevenson this is a professor of politics at the university of san francisco and joins us now by skype live from santa cruz in california thank you so much for being with us here on al-jazeera we've heard lots of coals for restraints and yet tensions continue to skyrocket how do you see this playing. basically it seems that rainey or any government or at least some hardliners in the arabian government felt that

a calculated escalation of tensions might be in their favor basically the moderates have been on the defensive having signed the nuclear agreement with a promise that sanctions would be lifted and instead after destroying billions of dollars of nuclear technology and material the country is undergoing a very serious economic hardships because of sanctions not just u.s. sanctions course but because of u.s. pressure on foreign companies and foreign countries of the centrally reimpose sanctions as well and with the mil increasing military threats the united states this is perhaps the iranian government's way of saying to britain in the european community hey folks this is serious. you know you need to help us out here or things get very very bad in her but we've been hearing this from their radians for seems like months knives that have been calling on the europe so it's a help the knights enjoy in

a levy at the economic pressure they're under from the u.s. and that doesn't look like that's going to happen all we had to do you think see something far more serious is military action and they have a civil state. i don't think either the united states or ran actually want to have a war but this kind of a mutual provocation is upping the stakes can create a hair trigger situation where some kind of misunderstanding or accident could rapidly escalate so it's a very very high stakes game and the calls for restraint by interested parties are quite quite important right now the question is will it actually will be enough to ease the tensions so how do the would these tensions be alleviated hey need to move 1st do you think there will be a vessel exchange it doesn't seem like either side this willing to back that in and as you say it just takes one mistake for for the situation to get to get much much

worse exactly in the british argue that it was and then there are legal right to see zeroing in tanker because it was violating sanctions against syria so they don't want to get in there and obviously the iranians see this is a tit for tat sure that seizure they're not going to to to give then imagine a certain kind of face saving the new or will be found for this particular crisis but as long as the iranian economy is suffering because the united states and other countries every nigga on their promises to it to lift the sanctions iran's going to feel like it's under seizure and will take an increasingly desperate actions and again i don't think they want war but i think it is a really really dangerous situation that could very easily become the tragedy that so many of us want to see avoided ok stevens it has said joining us from santa cruz in california thank you very much indeed for you fellows and leisure. security

members of the coalition say their concerns weren't taken into account. there is actually disparity and priorities the priorities of those who are inside it's not necessary the priorities of the arms group priorities of the groups are full one is how to stop the war how to bring about the constitution of the status of these areas how to make a. secret are immense and at the end of the day the issue of i.d.p.'s and there are for us for the past 18 years the armed groups have been fighting the finney's government in the country's west in eastern and southern regions the would have left nearly half a 1000000 dead and displaced over $3000000.00 after the ousting of longtime ruler ahmed el bashir the armed groups joined the rest of the opposition in talks with the ruling military john town but despite the signing of a deal the opposition is struggling for a united stance but realize that we're we understand the concerns of the groups in the coalition and this is why we're here seeking to accommodate it in the final

agreement through with that no agreement can stand without peace in areas where there are conflicts with sudan and the armed groups they are part of our coalition and all partners in this revolution. the final agreements known as the constitutional declaration is it to be signed that will determine the role of the various power structures in the transitional government but the final agreement cannot be signed without armed opposition approval and if that happens there are concerns that the armed groups in sudan will return to war a concern so great for the parties and the mediators that the and for and if you can mediate is between the 2 sides have joined the consultations in addis ababa i don't think clearly something very. difficult for. they solved very quickly between themselves the whole issue of the whole issue what happened was. very positive and it was a tremendous progress. to improve what was reached and new and when we will be back

to talk we will make think better and progress very quickly to work this thing to a final from the inclusive argument. as talks continue to happen to those back in her time continue to pressure the military to reach an agreement that will mark the beginning of a new peace 1st to dan without worry of conflict people were going on to their own ideas about her. so if africa's president says he will ask for a judicial review over reports by the country's corruption watchdog on friday cyril ramaphosa was accused of deliberately misleading parliament's about a campaign contribution from opposers says the findings against him are fundamentally flawed and have several in accuracies for me to miller has the latest from pretoria. president has responded to the report by the public protector saying that it's fundamentally flawed and not based on fact and this is after he responded to some of our questions earlier this year and according to his

statements he's released he says that it's unfortunate that she's decided to to issue this report given that he had concerns around it he has said that he is now seeking an urgent judicial review and it will be up to the courts to decide if this report stands it's also worth remembering that the public protector has had a record of having some of her reports overturned by the courts given that there were issues around the legality and perhaps some of the foundations that these reports were written on the president says this is the case once again now is not dealt specifically with the accusations leveled against him by the public protector that he. that he lied when he responded to a parliamentary question around the donation his campaign when he was running for president of the african national congress when that campaign took place but he said that the courts will now decide the public protector had to prescribe some

remedial action in that the report should go to the parliament's ethics committee for review and possibly investigation and also the president should be investigated for money laundering she says she has evidence that this is the case amounting to perhaps $28000000.00 the president says that the report shouldn't stand as it is and instead the court should decide what happens next. mexico says the u.s. has recognized it has made significant progress on stemming the flow of migrants in the united states to state my pompei i was in mexico city are there as part of his tour are all latin american countries relations between the 2 countries have been strained as president continues his efforts to stop illegal immigration and the wave of asylum seekers arriving at the southern border when a republic has more from mexico city. this meeting between us secretary of state

mike palm pale and mexican foreign minister marcello it out is certainly a timely want to riving just one day before the 45 day deadline on that deal between mexico and the united states where the 2 countries managed to avoid slapping tariffs on mexican at exports a less mexico could rein in and curb the flow of central american migrants making their way north toward the united states the meeting that took place here in mexico city appeared to be a very positive one both men took photographs shaking hands it appears as though they were in good spirits as though that that meeting actually produced some positive results specifically the topic of discussion between these 2 officials was immigration specifically again that change in policy in the united states regarding asylum seekers from central america being in eligible for asylum in the united states if they go through a in other country before reaching the united states in this case it would be something along the lines of

a migrant from el salvador honduras going through guatemala going through mexico making their way into the united states and be automatically ineligible for asylum in the united states another question that was brought up again it was the question of whether or not mexico is going to be designated a quote unquote safe 3rd country to peers as though but out of the foreign minister of mexico says that because of the advances in the talks with secretary of state pompei if there is no longer a need to consider mexico consider that mexico will at some point be designated a safe 3rd country so it appears at the end of this negotiation at the end of these talks it was a positive day for both parties humanitarian aid groups such as without borders and s.l.'s met its around they say they will resume migrant search and rescue missions off the coast of libya.
