a rocket engine testing site. and the possible growing through in treating ebola scientists say a trial of 2 drugs has shown high success rate. below violence has broken out at hong kong's international airport as police moved in to disperse thousands of protesters who had been gathering there the protests have forced the cancellation of hundreds of flights for a 2nd consecutive day police say they were trying to help paramedics reach an injured man who had been detained by protesters on suspicion of being an undercover chinese agent. needs joining us from near port it was a very fluid situation just about an hour ago what are you seeing now. well i'm actually now this situation is very calm and is merely mill one left in this terminal except for a lot of journalists and
8:02 pm
a few protesters if you look all around all the sort of counters of different airlines out completely there's no one there and you have a future is walking around figuring out what they have to do but as you saw. had about an hour ago it was a different scene when police tried to come in because they said they wanted. to rescue a man that had been surrounded by. by the protesters because they were suspecting him of being an undercover policeman from mainland china after telling everyone i actually landed this part of the around 8 pm local time and as i came out of the arrival hole just under floor below here there were hundreds and hundreds of protesters sitting very peacefully giving us really anyone who was coming out they were giving us kind of bridge shoes like this where all the crying police brutality
8:03 pm
saying that when you come to hong kong you could be tear gas you could get wounded in the eye as what happened last sunday during the protests and there was up here on this floor just behind me there they were i would say tens of maybe hundreds of protesters standing surrounding that police manner that suspected police went and they were at the beginning they were at the entrance of the terminal and then they sort of moved to a was where i'm standing right now as i left the airport it was still the extreme lead peaceful but what you can see is this wave of human beings all dressed in black and i was told at the time that that man was inside that crowd now for as we understand it when police arrived here they told the protests or they were not here to disperse the sit in the protests they were here actually to try to rescue
8:04 pm
this man and this after that you saw all those scenes of sort of skirmishes and scuffles between the 2 sides it lasted about half an hour or so and china has been critical of the protesters actions at the airports but at the same time the u.n. has been. concerned about the tactics being used by police. yes absolutely the un has been decrying the tactics being used by police and actually china. china representative in geneva the u.n. was interfering in domestic affairs on its side the chinese government has been watching very closely what's been going on here it's been using more amping up the rhetoric i would say has been pointing at the protesters saying that they were using quote terrorist tactics that they were going against the law that they were causing
8:05 pm
a lot of disturbances that they were not allowing people to travel you know passengers to go in and out of the airport they were causing a lot of disruption and at that some point that situation is getting out of hand this is also something you heard here in hong kong by the chief executive kerry lamb who. getting out of hand i think you have a lot of tension and at this particular moment. that protesters are. anyone around who doesn't look exactly like them that they don't. very much a lot of. they would be coming from mainland china who want to turn this peaceful protest into something much more violent ok thank you. that's a pro-democracy organization in hong kong and he says the government isn't doing anything to address protestors other than staying behind the. but it does
8:06 pm
not get way out the can people might not be fully. agree on or to behave protest or. government officials just they be high riot police and do nothing and keep silence is the most difficult situation that we are facing we just hope people around to work to understand our cause so for you action we have to get back to our own government is the time to stop police brutality when one of our young lady trying to protest in permanent blindness that's why this right might continue and we know just flash this happening thought police consequential themselves and transformed an international city to a police state it's really terrible. what will protest to do next where the hong kong riot police life threatening weapon just like all bullets fired on home
8:07 pm
activists has shocked them the things that we saw only were we specially when police in the past was just told to guns and point to as people point to is the head of people what kind of uncertainty and cases might be generated by riot b police strongly afraid and regret. the u.s. president has decided to postpone new tariffs on some chinese imports donald trump is delaying a 10 percent tariff hike on products like laptops cell phones and video console's he says he reached out of concern for the upcoming christmas shopping season let's go to our white house correspondent kimberly halakhah joining us from washington so what more has the president's been saying or rather what has he been tweeting. yeah well the us president has certainly been tweeting he's been talking and we can talk about all of that let's start with the fact that the announcements come out from the u.s. trade representative's office and why this has happened is you as you point out the very busy december holiday shopping season here in the united states the big
8:08 pm
concern that these tariffs and the impact of that could be passed on to u.s. consumers on things that they like to buy to give as gifts footwear clothing computers so this has been a delay now what has resulted from this is perhaps a potential power shift in terms of the ongoing escalating trade war between the united states and china there is this feeling well in the short term this is something that is in terms of the market's been a very positive thing and there is a rally there there's also this feeling that the united states may have given the appearance that it blinked in this escalating trade war now the u.s. president has been talking about this saying that his representatives have been speaking with chinese representatives on a telephone call and he still is talking optimistically that when it comes to resolving this ongoing trade dispute that china wants to make a deal. yes
8:09 pm
so that's what the president had to say now the tweet he has been tweeting expressing publicly some of his frustrations because in the midst of this trade war american farmers are getting hurt they often count on china for big sales in terms of pork soybeans already the u.s. government has had to put in place to aid packages to help american farmers there prints a potential for the 3rd so the u.s. president very frustrated that china is not following through on buying the agricultural products as a sign of good faith but he is still optimistic that they will follow through he's
8:10 pm
expressing optimism but at the same time this is still a dispute that is far from being resolved the u.s. has major concerns when it comes to intellectual property theft by china it alleges to american businesses that needs to be worked out and right now the fact that the u.s. trade representative has announced the delay in those tariffs and the president speaking publicly about his frustrations indicates that that power shift where the u.s. team to have the upper hand in this trade war may now have shifted to china can can really help it thank you. russian doctors who treated people injured in a nuclear accident last week have been taken to moscow for a medical examination on thursday a rocket explosion at an offshore naval testing site near you know about 700 kilometers northeast of st petersburg at least 5 people died radiation levels in nearby. spiked to 16 times the normal levels no official explanation has been given
8:11 pm
the naval facilities a test site for ballistic missiles used by nuclear submarines. has more from moscow . only 5 days after this mysterious explosion in the north of russia in the area of congleton we now know that the weather agency has measured radiation levels up to 16 times higher than normal in the city of suffered since where exactly this testing nearby took place the highest measurement was actually at a kindergarten so of course there's a lot of suspicion and also conspiracy theories going on here in russia about what exactly has happened the government has been very tight lipped the only thing that we heard from the vice presidential spokesman was that people should just trust the information that's been conveyed to them by the russian authorities and also about these radiation levels he said that all the state agencies are working to make sure that the people are safe but of course a lot of people still remember what happened in chernobyl in 1986 there was of
8:12 pm
course a different scale of radiation there but also then there was an information blackout and that's exactly where people are really worried about the disposition of course increased because the stories by the government has changed in the last 5 days initially at the ministry of defense said there was no radiation then suddenly the local authorities admitted there was a short but quite high spike of radiation and then the the levels went back to normal initially there were 2 victims only to worth $75.00 scientists died at the site and then only on sunday the authorities sort of confirmed that there was a small nuclear powered engine that exploded there's also a lot of speculation about what exactly was being tested there and american observers have said that this is the this skyfall the new missile that the lighting you put in the boasted about last year saying that this could reach every corner of the planet because it is nuclear powered actually the presidential spokesman
8:13 pm
reacted to a tweet by donald trump who said that they have the same. technology but actually more advanced the kremlin sad that that that's not true that the russians actually have the more advanced technology because so then we can actually say that this whole incident even though it's probably a very dangerous incident for public how is also part of an arms race that's going on and will maybe and probably increase even between the united states and russia since the intermediate force as a nuclear treaty expired and was was was basically abandoned earlier in august alan fisher has us reaction from washington. no official reaction from the state department or the defense department here in washington what we do have is a tweet from donald trump of course it's $21000.00 in the united states that's the only statement we've got from the u.s.
8:14 pm
government he put out the united states is learning much from the field explosion in russia we have similar the more advanced technology the russians skyfall the explosion has people worried about the year around the facility and far beyond not good know there are those who are critical of what the president put out saying that this gives the russians a heads up on what the united states is working on if indeed that is the case there's always some don't when it comes to donald trump's tweets but if they are working on that then i'm sure it wouldn't be much of a surprise to the russians experts who've looked at the explosion see what they believe the russians were working on was a missile that could be fired anywhere in the world because it is powered by a small nuclear reactor and we know that the problem when it comes to dealing with nuclear reactors is miniaturized nation making them small enough to do the job that is required the americans actually looked at this technology in the fifty's and sixty's and had a number of failures and so tended to forget all about it at that point now what is
8:15 pm
interesting is the timing of this it comes just a week or so after the united states pulled out of a nuclear treaty with russia and that led many to see there is a real possibility of a new nuclear arms race but this weapon wouldn't be covered by the reagan era treaty that's because this is according to the experts a conventional weapon the difference of course is that it's being powered by a nuclear reactor a very small nuclear reactor and that they believe is what caused the explosion still had on al jazeera the lockdown intensifies anger control casimir oversight of the muslim holiday of. the where rebels who are of writing. pilots take to the skies of north macedonia for the world championships.

a spokeswoman for the world health organization seeking to me earlier she said these results should give hope to those affected by ebola. there was a trial where 4 drugs were being trialed for trucks are being used in patients as they came into the treatment centers there were the 4 drugs that seemed the most promising and the body that analyzes the data saw that 2 were particularly strong were having those really good outcomes as you said that 90 percent of people who came in within the 1st 3 days for treatment were surviving and that's amazing for ebola usually it's the other way around 95 percent of people who don't receive treatment will die so we are now that much forward knowing that 2 of these medications that exist in the world are very helpful for combating in bhola and now we the research can go forward to find it to learn even more about these treatments but for now all the patients in every patient who comes into a treatment center will be receiving one of those 2 medications just back on the
8:22 pm
issue of survival rates so the best survival rates happens when patients receive treatments as you're saying in the 1st 3 days of contracting the virus so what you're saying is that the risk of survival remains low for anyone who has contracted the virus for longer than 3 days it's not from the time of contracting the virus it's from the time that the symptoms start to show when right symptoms start to show that means the virus is strong in your body symptoms being a vomiting headache feeling very unwell so the virus can take 567 days before you start to have those symptoms and that's only when you're infected and if people as soon as they start to have those symptoms are able to access care then they have the better chance of survival. it's about excess saved hundreds of millions of lives around the world but there are increasing availability has led to over use and that has made many people resistant to be's formerly vital medicines now in kenya research a say some answer biotechs are simply not working catherine soy reports from
