12:03 pm
a small group of pro-democracy protesters made their way close to the venue for the national day ceremony led by an activist politician the group was quickly met by riot police part of intense security in the territories m.t.r. train stations across hong kong were closed to stymie protesters from gathering a protester group's petition for a march was rejected by police several rallies were still planned. for those in hong kong who see this as a day of national celebration not a national calamity as the protesters call it it was an opportunity to fly their colors it's got harder al-jazeera hong kong. we can go to another correspondents in hong kong now to get the very latest sarah clarke and sara as we feared the skirmishes have already begun moving quite a lot of tear gas being fired as well as other material by the riot police what's happening behind you. where we are where in
12:04 pm
central we've been following that mass rally that started and caused by and it's made its way through to central hong kong the large majority of those tens of thousands of people who gathered for that rally have now dispersed but we still have a large groups of the younger protesters who have hung around and now you can see behind me the right place and the raptors who we are the elite tactical response unit they have moved in very quickly i've got about 30 or 40 police vans in front of me that moved in and t. i cleared out the protesters who are gathering behind me now i should say the buildings behind me that's the chief government offices and the legs of council building as well as the the chinese army barracks now those protesters have gone in all directions and we believe the front line may be moving back towards one chartres back to the east and we've also got a number of rallies across various districts 6 different districts and we've had reports of live fire we can confirm live fire live bullets have been fired i should say one and yeah my time so that's calderon and the new territories and one of those locations it was as a warning sign the other we believe the life i was used on the protesters we're
12:05 pm
trying to confirm that but behind me we have the water cannon fire a number of times that the protesters using that blue dye and that's obviously the way of identifying those protesters who've been on the front line in front of me we've seen restaurants being smashed the m.p.r. and fires have been lit have been lit up and we've got now this place moving in so what they're doing it it's at they are ongoing or they were clearing dispersal caton they moved towards the protesters and pushed them back and as you can see they're going they're moving again now frankly sara we've been seeing scenes like this in all gone for almost 4 months how do 2 days. yes and indeed the way the riot police are responding how do they compare with what we've seen in the past. all the preparation and the anticipation for this particular day has been huge it's been building up for this office because it's china's national day and these protesters want to make a spectacle in hong kong they want to embarrass and spoil the celebration that's
12:06 pm
going on in milan china and they're valid to do that and i believe there that this project this protest is is underway or this if it is underway and will proceed into the evening simply because it is china's national day we did have tens of thousands of people in that very peaceful rally but as the recurring theme on most weekends and again here on tuesday on china's national day on this anniversary it looks like they're going to try and make more destruction and more damage across the hong kong and to try and get their message across and sara what about those reports that there may be twice as many if not more security forces perhaps even sent from the mainland now in hong kong. we certainly haven't seen presence of that but yes i am aware of those reports i do know that there are 6000 police that have been deployed in hong kong for this particular day that's the hong kong police force i can also report on another
12:07 pm
subject that the hong kong police are also saying that they've had acid thrown at them this is in an area. which is further away from where we are in the new territories and this sign that the protesters are up to what they're using in the devices they're trying at the police and this time we've seen images and photos of blisters and skin that's been burnt from the acid that's being used by the protesters on the police so the protesters have live long said that today is the day one of the key groups for you to view yesterday said in the face of tyranny we must battle this is the battle for our life on tuesday and we're saying that unravel as we speak or write or will leave you then on the streets of hong kong to monitor exactly what's going on in the check in with you later for now thank you very much. and it's a very different picture as you might expect on mainland china which is marking the 70 years since the communist party seized power and the people's republic of china was formed last parades have been held in beijing at what is perhaps a sensitive time for chinese to play messi as well as the economy well matheson

12:09 pm
up internally and to the outside world the china of today bears little resemblance to the china of chairman mao the new middle class is getting wealthier and the country's transformed itself into an economic global power but one of the central messages of things 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. for the president she is 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. i mean to slow down this is a not a adversary 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

12:11 pm
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 looking into how the investigation into russian election interference got started and he's not alone his attorney general william bar 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 and monday new subpoenas for trump's confidant rudy giuliani's documents and his dealings with ukraine giuliani responded saying he might testify but he's still claiming he is trump's lawyer which could imply attorney client privilege but analyst jeff hauser says giuliani has publicly said something very different rudy giuliani has said that he is not actually
12:12 pm
transpersonal attorney 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. andrew thomas has more now on the australian connection from sydney the spokesperson for australia's government has 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 they've characterized that there merely as the prime minister of australia helping out the leader of a friendly country the us president in an ongoing investigation well the opposition
12:13 pm
party here in australia sees things very differently they think that this is scott morrison helping donald trump with what is essentially a political investigation into a political problem the militia investigation and they have said that his assistance is in disparate saying that mullah investigation and answer the elder naisi 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 war face because it was a conversation between an australian diplomat in london and an aide to the then crump campaign back in $26.00 saying that kick started the more 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
12:14 pm
down effect that information back to australia's capital camera and in turn his superiors in canberra felt it 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 saying that he will do what he can to help donald trump further those inquiries. still to come here at al-jazeera the british prime minister boris johnson says he's ruling out extending a deadline for bryant said what he says will solve the issues that is holding up a deal. at least one person being killed in protests in haiti demands for the president's resignation continuing.

12:16 pm
stronger and stronger action or fronts money running through the bite to bring rain and not very warm weather to tasmania the term she's in and a rather different so you're near the 30 mark bradley 20 far from melbourne there's the green dots from brisbane northwards in this part of australia we've seen flooding is not a strong reason that we could see them repeated during wednesday perth remains at 23 so not as warm as adelaide or indeed melbourne and a similar story exists in just this day. my cancer. experience would like to have
12:17 pm
a busy. places to get. her mind and now the top stories here and out as they are the demonstrations in hong kong have turned violent on the day that china celebrates national day peace using tear gas to disperse protests in some demonstrators a building barricades and setting fires. 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. here reports of
12:18 pm
a measure of president trump sought by help of another foreign leader for political gain he also the australian prime minister to help the justice department investigate the miller inquiry which examined russian interference in the 2 of the 16 election. of the british prime minister boris johnson is also being the e.u. to rule out extending the deadline that's according at least to media reports in the u.k. the times newspaper says the jew k. the u.k. is due to leave in 30 days from now and the prime minister says he'll present new ideas for solving the issues that held up his predecessors deal including the irish forward shortly. brussels and dublin have both been skeptical mr johnson is also under pressure after allegations of corruption during his time as mayor of london and on a more personal level that a great journalist 20 years ago breaks it in the prime minister's future are there
12:19 pm
for dominating the conservative party conference that is taking place in manchester in the north of england our correspondent there is lawrence lee an awful lot for the prime minister to be dealing with then lawrence. yes though excitingly it's october and you know what so it was when bracks it's going to happen so. what they're trying to do here is sort of build up a head of steam really ahead of boris johnson's speech tomorrow which is supposed to be setting out a few ideas for what are going to do with brussels to sort the whole thing out as trying to pick its a bit with men and bricks it. as you got any ideas to think up the sleeve yeah i think so understand what's going on what you need to understand is we're in a phony war at the moment and attention amongst politicians isn't focused on it's focused on the election that everyone knows is coming so everyone is trying to
12:20 pm
maneuver themselves into the best possible position for the election and that's how to understand it is you can point to brussels i mean there was some thought last night about a customs posts in ireland and then this morning he said we're not doing customs posts in ireland you know if you just go around and around in circles and don't get anywhere with us well the government has got a plan it is revealing that plan to the e.u. 27 today in a series of phone calls we do not know for definite what it is there was you said there have been leaks about it but i think again you need to think about this in context as far as the government is concerned the point of this plan is as much to convince the electorate that they tried and were rebuffed as it is to actually get a deal and so you think whatever they come forward is not going anywhere with the europeans if what is leaked is actually what they're going to say that i don't think the prospects are good it's all just are is foreign minister last night in very very clear language says this is an old it's not so good for all of the soul and what about this theory there's also doing the rounds a says going to try to irritate the european union so much that they'll just say just just go away we can't be bothered with you anymore we're not going to give you
12:21 pm
an extension well of course we heard this sort of language before didn't we before march the last breaks it deadline when senior figures in the conservative party was saying we're going to make their life difficult if they make a stay in the e.u. ignored that and i'm pretty certain that this time around the e.u. would ignore that kind of language as well because that one way the election for several reasons the e.u. don't want no deal they don't want to be blamed for no deal by saying no for to an extension we've asked for and as you quite rightly say they know there's going to be an election and things might might be clearer after that. you know we should walk around this party conference should you find an exciting place to be at the moment that with the conservatives no i mean i don't know it's quite dull and it's quite dull because we're in that phony war situation where. what is posturing everyone is shadow boxing but nothing much is getting done i don't thank you very much indeed. dole i have to say it most certainly is a lot of the speeches even comps conservative commentators have said have been so still to finally boring it's almost like they're trying to make them dull to make boris johnson look exciting by comparison when he speaks more thank you very much
12:22 pm
lawrence lee live in manchester in the north of england at the conservative party conference now here is police and the military say they still support martin vizcaya as president despite congress having voted to suspend him for office opposition politicians and symbolically sworn in his vice president after his carter dissolved congress to stop it electing judges to the constitutional tribe you know but the opposition members defied the executive order and remained in congress for the vote marianna sanchez has the latest from lemur. now peru has 2 presidents. the presidential palace and the vice president. has been sworn in and congress happened a while ago and to. sit in a small speech. moved by president microscopical wrist is unconstitutional
