so. i can call the police confirm they've used live ammunition against antigovernment protests as. the mainland china is more a show of force as it celebrates 70 years of communist rule. thanks again on without his or her life from doha also coming up more trouble for donald trump reports of the sought help from a number of foreign leader in a bid to discredit the moeller investigation. and greece look through an energy led

economic recovery but at what cost to the environment. thanks. a day of celebration has turned into escalating violence on the streets of hong kong tens of thousands of people have defied warnings from the police that it would be quote very very dangerous to protest what is the 70th anniversary of the founding of communist china about $6000.00 police officers have been stationed across the territory and they've confirmed that their views live rounds of ammunition as well as tear gas and water cannons to try to break up the crowds of demonstrators as well a video being circulated widely on social media appears to show a police officer shooting a protester in the chest police say the man has been taken to hospital and the reuters news agency is reporting that. one person is in critical

condition. all right well it's just after 7 in the evening now in hong kong sarah clarke is our correspondent there 1st of all sara so reports seem to have been borne out by the police that live ammunition is being used at least one protester has been shot we think in the chest and presumably that's the person in hospital in a critical condition. yes live fire has been used a large bullets been used at 2 locations a young my time on the telephone side and chin one that's in the new territories and that's where that boy was shot was a boy teenager the reports suggest local media that he's 15 or 16 years of age in a high school in a critical condition and undergoing surgery in queen elizabeth hospital that's one report of the liability we've had as far. as that although at the rally points across hong kong today on tuesday there were 6 different organized demonstrations or assemblies of course there was

a big peaceful march where we had tens of thousands of people rally in court right by and make their way through to central it was when they dispersed in central where things started to unravel and i was in the last hour we've had probable it's fired in manchaca all the prince edward into we've also had petrol bombs trying to one child which is where we are now those picture bombs were trying near the interior which is hong kong's transport system we've had live fires the whole way along this area and throughout one charred willet by those picture bombs we also have reports ensured one or 2 mall i should say where police were of protesters threw acid on those police we've seen the images of the place they've been scarred blistered and obviously affected by the bombs of the trauma at those places so it's a magic scenes across hong kong on china's national day and what does appear to be the case is that many of these protesters have come out onto the streets with the intention with the the the real intent of causing harm to the police

officers and indeed making this a day that. would route to watch from from where they're sitting as they try to celebrate the 70th anniversary of their revolution. exactly where these protests have been going on for 4 months now and it's been building up to this day this is china's 70th anniversary of the founding of the people's republic of china and i want to despoil hong kong protesters want to spoil that celebration and they certainly have we know there are 6000 places been deployed here in hong kong island and as well as on the other side of color inside a nice place have been very busy the pockets of rallies or assemblies and clashes as well as stand offs across hong kong now behind me with the right behind me is completely blocked blocked off areas in front of me are blocked off the police are mobilizing very quickly now i should say 30 ice n.p.r. stations are closed as a result the trams are being closed for a long time this afternoon so one of the tactics has been trying to stop those people mobilizing or getting to those location points but as i mentioned most of

today the 10s of thousands of people rallied that was peaceful it's only at the not last few hours where things have started to unravel. thank you very much sarah clarke then with the very latest from hong kong. where the day did start a lot more peacefully there had been celebrations and in china itself they were marking 70 years since the communist party seized we have 2 reports one in a moment from rob matheson he's in beijing 1st so let's hear from scott hyla in hong kong. the annual national day flag raising ceremony in hong kong this year was watched by dignitaries and guests of the government on t.v. for security the $12000.00 attendees were inside the hong kong convention center for the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the people's republic of china officials were concerned that the protesters would disrupt the ceremony a heavy security ring was placed around the convention center matthew chunkin chung

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 workplace because it was a conversation between the 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 russian so you believe 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 effect that information back to australia's capital camera and in turn his superiors in town brickell 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 but also straight its involvement and here is scott morrison the study's prime minister say that he will do what he can to help donald trump those inquiries we've got a lot more to come here including a leadership crisis and harry find out why the country now has 2 presidents at least one person is killed in haiti as protests demand the president's resignation . how it is not the end of the wet season for japan for south korea or indeed for china this massive cloud here is a tropical cyclone mark todd currently pounding the east coast of china heading up
