tuesday we had to get spied into other spots in calgary and charge teams as was confrontations between police and those protesters but at this stage here in hong kong island we have seen right place at the right place at taking a very low profile there simply at those empty are sort of being closed and you did mention that some of the shots we now have 15 empty hours the transfer of all shut down as well as stores so hopeful island is pretty much in lockdown as if people like to buy tree central and server is seems very much as though the people of hong kong who are against beijing rule don't seem to be in the least bit put off by the reports that beijing has doubled its military presence in the territory and indeed those warnings that were given by the police of them taking a firm position on any trouble that might come about today. for these things. protesters are the final made as we've mentioned before this is

messages of the celebrations today seems to be a cautionary one yes we should acknowledge what china has achieved so far but there could be tough times ahead. president xi centralizing and strengthening control in beijing some of the president's political rivals have been swept up in his crackdown on corruption as well as the ongoing protests in hong kong and allegations linked to human rights the trade war with the us is forcing china's economy to slow. this is a not a adversity of high expectations that is going to be very glorious in the near future it's an anniversary in which we look back on what china has been able to attain and we talk about a new era of sacrifices and struggle. in 1989 chinaman square soul bloodshed when pro-democracy demonstrators stood up against time in $29.00 china is determined to show that its military is stronger than ever but the success of

president xi jinping his leadership may depend on how he handles china's new found asperity matheson. beijing. and we'll be talking a bit more about china a little later on in the program but in the meantime let's go to the united states because new ripples of a measure that suggested president trump the help of another foreign leader of a political gain the new york times is reporting that the u.s. president the australian prime minister to help the justice department investigate the mulla inquiry which examined russian interference in the 26000 election where the president's already facing an impeachment inquiry into his dealings with the ukrainian president patrick culhane reports. for us president donald trump right now it's all about the investigations the impeachment investigation into his dealings with ukraine and now another one published reports say that the president

reached out to australian prime minister scott morrison for help look into how the investigation into russian election interference got started and he's not alone his attorney general william barr reportedly did the same with the united kingdom and italy if true this would be unprecedented u.s. officials asking allies to help them investigate u.s. intelligence agencies and the congressional investigation into the ukrainian controversy is speeding ahead on monday new subpoenas for trump's confidant rudy giuliani's documents and his dealings with ukraine giuliani responded saying he might testify but is still claiming he is trump's lawyer which could imply attorney client privilege but analysts jeff hauser says giuliani has publicly said something very different. rudy giuliani has said that he is not actually trump's personal attorney he is doing essentially emissary work on behalf of trump as an individual on the trump campaign and that does not provide any sort of privilege which would

protect his documents from going to congress the president has been taking to twitter and to the cameras to pronounce he's done nothing wrong the response from democrats in congress we'll find out and fast tactical again al-jazeera washington . more now on the australian connection from our correspondent in sydney andrew thomas a spokesperson for australia's government essentially said that there's nothing unusual about this phone call in a statement they said the ghostwriting government has always been ready to assist and cooperate with efforts that help shed further light on the matters under investigation and the prime minister scott morrison confirmed this readiness once again in a conversation with the president so i've characterized it there merely as the prime minister of australia helping out the leader of a friendly country the us president in an ongoing investigation or the opposition party here in australia sees things very differently that i think this is scott morrison helping donald trump with what is essentially

a political investigation into a political problem the moly investigation and they have said that his assistance is in display to say that miller investigation and into the album ese the leader of the opposition here has said that australia's prime minister has involved himself in what is essentially a domestic issue inside the united states and has a lot of explaining to do well australia is involved in a workplace because it was a conversation between an australian diplomat in london and an aide to the then trump campaign back in $26.00 saying that kick started the motor inquiry george papadopoulos a young aide on the front campaign told alexander downer the australian high commissioner in london at the time that the russians he believed had on hillary clinton that they were going to leak during the campaign and that meant that trump was more likely to win the election than he might otherwise have been alexander down the fact that information back to australia's capital camera and in turn his

superiors in canberra important enough information to tell the f.b.i. and that is where the whole millette investigation began well there's a lot of conspiracy theories perhaps in the us that that initial conversation in london was in some way orchestrated by the clinton campaign and that in many ways is what donald trump is trying to prove in some ways through this investigation so that's australia's involvement and here is scott morrison australia's prime minister say that he will do what he can to help donald trump further those inquiries. now peru's police and the military say they still recognize martin visit us as president and that's despite opposition politicians voting him out of office the opposition controlled congress had symbolically sworn in the vice president after this got out dissolved congress to stop it electing judges to the constitutional tribunals of the opposition members remained in congress even after

the executive order maliana sanchez has more now from lima. now has 2 presidents. about the presidential palace on the vice president. has been sworn in and congress happened a while ago and to. sit in a small speech. moved by president microscopical this is an unconstitutional move although most of them he's got about a program to ask president to postpone burst if he receives a 2nd. no vote of confidence which happened today declared the vacancy of the president to same activities that i was unfit he was. moral incapacitated to continue being a precedent now this happened without an impeachment without a trial which of course will raise questions about the legality of this move and congress in the meantime president. the top brass of the military

in the presidential palace that have gone there to show their support the president's got a he also received the resignation of fold he's having of members and sworn in a new prime minister or cabinet chief how it's known here and outside of congress protesters supporting this got about are confronting the police the riot police throwing tear gas for some time and. protests have continued for some time in this crisis that has been going on for months now. still to come here it out there at least one person is being killed in protests in haiti as demands for the president's resignation continue and it could help greece pay off billions of dollars in debt but what's the downside to the mediterranean sea oil and gas industry.

take a look at the top stories here it out there this morning new ripples from suggest president trumps all the help of another foreign leader for political gain the new york times is reporting that president cheney and prime minister to help investigate the moon approach and mr trump's already facing an impeachment inquiry into what was said in a phone call to ukraine's president. several anti-government demonstrations of taking place in hong kong as china celebrates national day tens of thousands of people are already on the streets protests are planned in at least 6 districts

throughout the day. beijing has marked the 70th anniversary of communist rule in china with a display of military strength in his speech president xi jinping called for a unified china that includes hong kong. ok we can speak of it to go now his vice president at the center of a china and globalization and he's joining us live now from beijing thanks for talking to us i know that you were particularly close to a finger up. dunc shopping personal translator i'm not sure how close you are to president xi but what do you think is going through his mind and that of the leadership when on this significant day they view the scenes that are already beginning to take place in hong kong well of course today is a day of great happiness joy and celebration and the whole nation in china would miss the military parade as well as the huge massive scale celebrations by the

people in pay jean and i've seen this will really be reached into the national memory in china for decades to come and she'll be definitely demonstrated strong leadership of the military as well as of the government and of the party and i think people are very happy to rally behind him and when you talked about uniting with hong kong who is already part of china ever since 1970 i think the message is more towards taiwan and the eventual reunification of the 2 sides of the taiwan strait is the goal that china is pursuing right absolutely so when coming back to my original question when the leadership see these scenes particularly on a day like today what are the options that are being weighed by beijing i mean 30 years ago they might have sent in the tanks martin.

noisey ever since 1907 china has been very strict enough by the by the one country 2 system as far as hong kong is concerned and the primary responsibility of maintaining order in hong kong rests squarely with the hong kong as they are covered mint and up to today it is still the general wish of the central government that the hong kong as our government carry the chief executive is in beijing to observe the celebration today and the hong kong police will step up to do their job and to bring law and order back to hong kong and i think in the coming weeks or months this will be a critical period of time where we will see whether law and order and rule of law can be restored where they haven't caught us violence cannot last forever sorry to interrupt victor but they clearly haven't been able to manage to keep to keep the territory calm have they until now we're now into the 17th week this is almost 4

months of sustained and widely popular protests which is sometimes turned violent against what they see is an encroaching influence coming from beijing. no allow me to say that if mainland china really is interfering in the situation in hong kong they'll be no more violence at all all these violence an attack on police for example disruption of traffic will be stopped immediately look at the might of the central government of china and the fact that the violence still continues is a vindication that mainland china is not in law or interfering in the hong kong affair at all and it is up to the hong kong is our government to do its job however i would say justice has a long arm and don't worry about the violence continue for a while because eventually law and order will prevail in hong kong there will be no

surprise at all that eventually hong kong will restore its rule of law and violence like this could mean ality or you with terrorism will never have a chance in hong kong make to get out thank you very much indeed talking to us live from beijing thank you thank you. ride with have been violent confrontations between the police and the anti-government demonstrators in haiti at least one person has been killed in these latest protests opposition leaders in the country have refused to take part in a national dialogue calling instead for more rallies. there on monday the streets of the haitian capital port au prince were once again taken over by thousands of demonstrators. it's been 3 weeks since the unarrest began and protests against the haitian president showed no signs of letting down. there was

not special we're looking for president of melba ways to put him in jail because the haitian people don't recognize him as the president of haiti we've been fighting for so long but things don't improve all the government does a steal. clashes between police and demonstrators have become commonplace so have attacks against private businesses and police stations. authorities have been accused of excessive force using tear gas and live ammunition to disperse demonstrators one local journalist was shot during the most recent unrest but over the past few weeks the violence on the streets has claimed several lives. despite the police standing in our way we're not afraid of anything we will continue to do what we have to do. demonstrators blame haiti's president for a laundry list of problems the country is plagued by double digit inflation currency devaluation and an ongoing fuel shortage that's wreaked havoc on public services and international delegation of ambassadors known as the core group are

attempting to mediate haiti's ongoing political crisis but opposition leaders or unwilling to sit down for a national dialogue say the only thing that will stop the unrest in the country is the resignation of president juvenal noise. officials say public schools and several government services will remain shut down until the unrest subsides but with officer. leaders calling for more protests no one really knows how long that leads my little upolu urges either through the prince. the u.s. military says it's conducted 2 air strikes that have killed 10 out fires in somalia the strikes were in response to an attack by the armed group on a u.s. operated military base in the lower ship belly region the u.s. says none of its or its allies troops were injured in the attack in a 2nd incident asked about fighters attempted to target italian forces in the capital mogadishu. now an alleged chinese government spy has been arrested in the

and gas industry the country will soon become a hydrocarbon producer and it's hoped the revenue will help pay off its billions of dollars of debt bass's johns are up with us recalls the drive for cash comes at risk to the environment. greece produces only about one percent of the oil and gas it consumes it spends more than $13000000000.00 a year importing the rest the government wants to keep more of that money in the greek economy it has spent a decade selling concessions for oil and gas exploration along the country's west coast on and off sure the benefit of the greek date from there are going to. be significant or they're going to really work the 1st months of 2000. in the future for all there are going to dictate we. hear from that odd thing will be more than $215000000.00

a serious downside the waters of greece's west coast are a key feeding and spawning grounds for vulnerable populations of sperm whales dolphins monk seals and other marine animals scientists say drilling could disorient or even kill these animals if greece is here to make sure that oil drilling does not start it's not only an ill conceived experiment for marine environment or are now entering there now it's also very dangerous for a climate for our local communities and of course our national economy a single accident could damage greece's $56000000000.00 tourism industry or oil and gas exploration is to continue for now but it is creating a divide between those who see the potential to monetise hydrocarbons and those who see greece's true treasure in its history and natural beauty jump sorrowful us al-jazeera in the part of us go off. the german carmaker volkswagen has rejected calls to settle
