6:50 pm
turn in the past couple of hours right police have been trying to block government demonstrators from reaching the territories central government building as you can see from these live pictures there far tear gas water cannons and rubber bullets the crowds of protesters of throwing bricks and petrol bombs towards a police station and also defaced and toward dine signs congratulating china's communist party which just. to mark its 70th anniversary choose say let's get more now from sea record hong kong and syria things appear to deteriorate it quite significantly in the our star is so something where you are. but where we are we're at pacific place or the admiralty right in front of the lips of council area government headquarters you've got a very large police line behind me we've got the raptors with the elite tactical response units they're the ones dressed in black also got the right place but we
6:51 pm
have quite a thick front line behind me and this is where most of the action the softer life and softer noon on sunday here in hong kong has happened the police fired multiple rounds of tear gas on these protesters trying to push them back to keep them away from the main kind of government area which is in front of me they also fired rubber bullets sponge grenades and a number of other devices on these place they put the water cannon out with the blue dye over the lips of council building of course this was in response to the protesters who were throwing bricks and other devices including petrol bombs at the government headquarters and at police we've had fires the whole way lit by the protesters along the way of this much now i should start this particular march it was never it never got the commission from the police to go ahead so it was always going to be and were an unlawful assembly and it was on those grounds that the police moved in very early normally the police or the pattern is that come in later to disperse these crowds to die on sunday i moved in at the start of that rally and
6:52 pm
that's where they started the dispersal methods all those dispersal tactics and those dispersal techniques have happened throughout the afternoon in quite chaotic scenes and what i could say we've been having this for months now there's been a level escalation of tactics and violence seen from both sides and the protesters i should say they wouldn't hold back they were pushing the point they feel they speculate one stage the place was treated but as you can see from behind me now the police are back on the street the streets but they've managed to disperse. most of the protesters in central. syria we do seem to have corey come quite a while we've really from this extradition kick to sort of just heard if we get here how does that come to this. the extradition bill was withdrawn a few weeks ago and i think kerry lam hong kong's chief executive had thought that would a few the situation defuse the tension in this standoff that's been ongoing now for
6:53 pm
we're now entering the 17th week but it hasn't if anything it's kind of escalated on the grounds that these protesters now have 5 demands and included in those 5 demands they want universal suffrage they want an inquiry into the police behavior during these protests they say that they've been abusive and violent towards protesters and they want greater democracy and at the moment had no word from the government no suggestion from that that would balance those demands and so on those grounds that these protests have continued on to say october 1 it's a public holiday here and as well as in china it's the 70th anniversary of the founding of the people's republic of china and we're expecting that would potentially preparing for more violent clashes but this time between approach china and the anti-government opposition camps. because the intensity of this loss of connection i'll keep talking the intensity between the 2 groups has been escalating over the 17 way and both sides are preparing or have been preparing to stand off
6:54 pm
against one another but we do have those protests from both sides going to go take place on tuesday so the preparations are in place for october 1 which is china's national day will be keeping a close eye on it in the run up to that of course but for now sara cork in hong kong thanks very much seeds. well throughout the day rallies are planned in major cities across the world in solidarity with hong kong's protesters they started in a stray or more than a 1000 people turned it in central sydney yelling slogans like fight for freedom and stand with hong kong demonstrators were black clothing cover and a color often wore by those anti-government protesters in the semi autonomy city. so other news now and violence technical failures and disillusionments have had a dramatic impact on afghanistan presidential election and election commission officials says the estimated votes terry night for saturday's vote was just over
6:55 pm
2000000 people have more than one and a half 1000000 registered voters and a 5th of all polling stations didn't open or have communications cut off and nearly 70 attacks across the country killed 5 people injuring hundreds of others well let's get the latest now from rob mcbride's he joins us now from the afghan capital kabul vob what can be read into this next extremely low turnout has to be said. that's right how i made i think it was obvious yesterday saturday as polling got underway that it was going to be a low turnout and that seems to now be borne out by these figures we have had just over half the polling stations throughout the country that some 4500 polling stations wanted to open 500 more than that but weren't able because of the security situation now more than half of the polling stations that did open have returned the total number of votes cast and it comes to something like
6:56 pm
a 1000000 or so so if you were to double that figure you would get $2000000.00 which is where our figure has come from but even that might be on the optimistic side because of course most of these polling stations that have been 1st to return the voting figures have been largely in the urban areas which have been the most secure all the parts of afghanistan of course we're still waiting to hear from both some of the more remote areas rural afghanistan where of course they have problems just want to hold the ballots with the fear of the taliban and the fear of reprisals but even if you would take the optimistic figure of $2000000.00 as you mentioned there that is out of a total registered population who could vote of $9000000.00 in a country of some 30000000 plus that it's worth comparing this figure with the presidential election of 5 years ago when things here were far more secure when you could say things were far more optimistic we had far more international forces here supporting the afghan government and the afghan military and then 8000000 people came out to vote so it is from the government's point of view from the political
