12:03 am
will we all know there were more than a 100 arrests some of the most intense violence was on the other side of the harbor in cow looting a much watched video on social media appears to show a policeman shooting a young protester in the chest with a pistol the hong kong police force say it was in self-defense but this was the 1st time someone had been wounded from a police bullet since the protests began almost 4 months ago by quite. a large group of protesters were attacking police officers despite warnings from the police the assailant still continued the violent attacks the police officers lives were under serious threat to save his own life and his colleagues lives he fired a live shot at the assailant here we must again warn all rioters must stop all illegal acts police will continue to enforce the law seriously the anger of recent
12:04 am
weeks had been building up to this day the most important date in china's political calendar this year many train stations and shopping malls were closed in the security clampdown. just a few months ago hong kong was regarded as one of asia's most law abiding cities a model of good governance now all of that has been turned on its head with the police left to solve what is effectively a political problem these pro trying to protest also see themselves as defenders of hong kong. today's the 70 birthday of our model and i wish our modern and to have prosperity to have peace people to be happy national day celebrations here were low key this year the annual flag raising ceremony was held in a secure area well away from the protests which what was never going to be a day of celebration adrian brown al jazeera hong kong well that was the situation
12:05 am
in hong kong and of course a very different picture mainland china marked 70 years since the communist party seized power and the people's republic of china was formed from matheson reports now from beijing. aircraft thunder through the skies above beijing armored vehicles rumble through china square a display of china's military strength as president xi jinping calls for economic and political confidence and sends a message to hong kong. we have to maintain their peaceful ignited one country 2 systems. to keep hong kong and macau is a long term prosperity and stability 70 years ago in china and square the communist party chairman mao tse dong announced the founding of the people's republic of china. in the following 27 years so-called great leap forward plan to boost farming and industrial production led to famine and the deaths of an estimated
12:06 am
30000000 people his cultural revolution clamped down dissent a year after mao's death in 1986 new leader dense helping declared china will. to open 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 is transformed itself into an economic global power but one of the central 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. for 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 and this is not
12:07 am
a adversely 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 1819 and one squares all bloodshed when pro-democracy demonstrators stood up against tanks in 2019 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 newfound respect for to drop matheson algis in beijing. let's talk more about all of this with roderick why who is a former diplomat of the british embassy in china and now an associate fellow at chatham house and so i thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera so let's start with the latest developments we have seen for the 1st standing use of live and mission against that protester who is now in hospital what do you make of that
12:08 am
d.c. it is a turning point i don't think it's a huge turning point it is a sad escalation and it is really sad that this young man has been so badly injured it was sort of coming because. the demonstrations were getting more violent and the police reactions were getting more violent and sooner or later something horrible had to happen and it has now happened today was always going to be suppose a sensitive day because of course china is celebrating 70 years of communist china not of a 1st time i've always has some tension in hong kong of course this year the predictions were it was going to be a lot worse than usual in light of that do you think things have been contained or do you think that basically it's just going to keep on getting worse well getting worse who knows it is going to keep on that seems pretty clear and there were expectations. reasonable expectations that it could not possibly last this long
12:09 am
well it has lasted this long and this shows to me the strength of feeling among a large number of people in hong kong it's not just a small number of demonstrators doing weird things it is it is expressing real heartfelt for feeling and we've really seen sustained process for 4 months now at what point do you think if they will that the chinese government will get more directly involved because it does seem the police are finding it harder and harder to contain the protests as they are but they still haven't been sort of if you like stretched to breaking point and i think the chinese government have shown themselves really reluctant to get involved directly in all this and that the hong kong government still have you know quite substantial resources of their own to call upon and although they are not stopping the demonstrations and although in some cases there are you know awful things happening nonetheless hong kong still
12:10 am
does go about its business on the whole you know remarkably calmly. these protests were sparked by an extradition lord that had been proposed and then was quite quickly scrapped but the protests have continued what do you think it would take now for the protesters to feel satisfied and content that their demands had been met well i mean it took actually it took the hong kong government a long time to formally withdraw that extradition bill if they'd acted more quickly in the early stages perhaps things would have been very different because what the demonstrators want i think the people of hong kong want is some kind of reaction from their government to show that their government is sort of on their side and pushing for democracy and you know better governance in hong kong because i think that's part of the problem that you know people just feel lack of trust in the way
12:11 am
that the government has been handling all this and they want to see it working better brodrick why former diplomat of the british embassy in china and now an associate fellow at chatham house thank you thank you. at least 2 people have been killed and more than 200 injured in iraq after anti-government protests there find more than a 1000 people marched on tahrir square in the central baghdad and any of them students angry at a lack of job opportunities as the situation deteriorated police used live ammunition stun grenades and tear gas dozens of the injured are members of iraq's security forces smaller protests also took place elsewhere. in my town is more now from baghdad. events started beginning around about lunchtime here in baghdad when there was a very small protest that took place in tucker a square it was very quickly dispersed by iraq's security forces however there was
12:12 am
then a call made on social media for more people to come to the square around 6 o'clock people started gathering and the numbers became bigger and bigger what we're hearing is there were thousands of people out on the street there's no official figures actually to say how many people there were but what we did see was very quickly an escalation of violence the police pushed back the protesters as they tried to march on a bridge to go into the former green zone which is where still a lot of the foreign embassies based there were pushed back and then what was happening is they were moved into different parts of central baghdad and they were pitched battles between the police and the protesters the police used life they used rubber coated steel bullets they used water tanks cannons to come and try to disperse the crowd and it was only going for a while now it's got a lot of people in the government very worried about it one of the most influential shia clerics tweeted saying the government must look into exactly what went on them
12:13 am
how these events unfolded and he he's also very interesting because his party is a crucial part of the government so he's effectively asking the government to investigate itself now we are hearing that there is concern about these protests spreading it wasn't just in baghdad it was in no sorry i mean it was in not just as well in the south so what people are very concerned about to be in the government is that these protests may develop into a nationwide movement now on the social media people have been sharing the videos from the scene itself it's clear that the violence was significantly more significant than we've seen in a few years here in baghdad what happens next remains to be seen but they're all calls already well more people to come out on the streets in the coming days. tens of thousands of jordanian teachers have defied a government call to end their 4 weeks strike over pay the education ministry has

rises president mary sue my crease chances of reelection fall and the ups and downs of life expedient as the action from day 5 at the world championships. i am. the chairman of 3 of the house committees investigating donald trump's dealings with ukraine have accused the u.s. secretary of state might pump aoe of intimidating witnesses this after pompeo pushed back against a request by house democrats to depose 5 current and former state department officials in the ukraine probe saying it could be seen as an intimidation attempt the u.s. president is facing an impeachment inquiry relating to his the lings with the ukrainian president followed music. well heidi castro joins us live now from washington d.c. heidi good to see you tell us a little bit more about the exchange between my pump aoe and the democratic
12:16 am
chairman. ok barbara so this exchange this volley of accusations that either side is trying to intimidate witnesses focuses on these 5 witnesses in question who democrats hope to hear from and or in a sworn testimony behind closed doors this week and next the 1st person scheduled is scheduled to testify before congress as early as tomorrow that is the former u.s. ambassador to ukraine marie ivanova itch who was mysteriously recall to washington in may and who president brought up in that now infamous phone call with the ukrainian president in july he said that this former ambassador was bad news now this is the same call in which president trump appeared to pressure the ukrainian president to open an investigation into trump's own domestic political rivals so the former ambassador reportedly was not on board with his administration's efforts to get ukrainian help to dig up dirt on his political rival she is supposed to be
12:17 am
speaking with congress tomorrow and no other key witnesses democrats hope to hear from is kurt volker he is the former ukrainian envoy who resigned that post just last week on the same day that he received the democrats' demand to give his deposition he is mentioned in a whistleblower report were guarding the president's call as having traveled to ukraine the day after this call to contain the damage that from the president's call with the ukrainian president volcker is scheduled to be deposed on thursday but will these depositions actually happen that is a question that at this point no one knows the answer to because as you mentioned the former boss of both of these individuals u.s. secretary of state mike pump aoe has pushed back to liver in a letter to congress this morning accusing democrats of trying to intimidate and bully these witnesses and saying that
12:18 am
a deposition as such by. next speed is simply not feasible democrats responding saying that it's pump aoe who needs to cease intimidating witnesses and that any effort to prevent them from talking to congress quote is illegal and will constitute evidence of obstruction of the impeachment inquiry then heidi what about trump himself what's his reaction been to all of these developments sure bill today the president had no public events scheduled but he was very active on twitter in what appears to be an angry venting of several tweets he again tried to discredit and discredit this whistleblower and he asked why he the president was not entitled to interview this person who remains anonymous and he called this whole thing a hoax now that elicited a response from a notable a republican senator from the president's own party senator chuck grassley who is
12:19 am
the most senior senator republican senator and he said that the whistleblower should be heard from and should be protected so it didn't mention trump by name it's not exactly a rebuke of the president but it does show some indication of concerns brewing even in republican party members barbara how does your casters thank you so much for explaining that to us heidi thank you. now it's less than a month until argentina's friends then elections and mary sue mckinney is hoping for a 2nd term but as the poll for tea rate rises his chances of re-election fall polls show that mockery is trailing his main rival a bit of a number is and is that as of old reports from this chances of a mockery victory are largely being recent. there is used to work as a welder 4 years ago he says these days he cannot find work and needs to collect cardboard for recycling to make a living. but i used to have
12:20 am
a job and now i'm on the street because it's the only thing i can find i have 3 children and it's a challenge to support my family i believe the government. for everything that is going wrong on monday official statistics revealed poverty rates have gone up by almost 8 percent this past year the devaluation of the currency which began in 2018 has led to an over 50 percent inflation rate pushing more families below the poverty line and it's all happening in the lead up to the presidential elections in october. the presidential campaign has officially started in argentina in the middle of a deep economic crisis that has hurt my chances of being reelected opposition candidate i led the fight amanda says that market friendly we formed have damaged argentina's economy and has deteriorated the living conditions of millions of people around the country. for

a man who's running mate is former president cristina fernandez de kirchner defeated in an august primary vote by a wide margin. mr president don't come and tell us all that it's time to work when you've destroyed millions of jobs in the country and don't tell us you will now fight poverty because you've already forced at least 5000000 people in the country into poverty. c is not giving up he's touring the country telling his supporters that he can still turn the tide and when the coming election he told the crowd here understood the message voters sent him in the primary election. i know that these years especially the last year has been very difficult i know that you the middle class are the ones who have made the greatest effort but i want to tell you that i have listened i have taken note and i have understood but some analysts say the chances of markey winning the elections are slim and we believe.
12:22 am
it's very difficult to win an election when the economy is as it is and the opposition is united this year the g.d.p. may for almost 3 percent which generates recession and poverty so wrong that the government is now desperately trying to win back the support it has lost. peru's police and military chiefs say that they still support martine v. scatter as president this by the opposition controlled congress voting to suspend him from office is courage dissolved called gris on monday and the building is now being guarded by police after it defied the order and they continue to sit symbolically swearing in his vice president as the nation's new leader the right wing opposition has a long standing feud with the scatter ovaries appends to tackle corruption but he still has widespread public support. all 4 of peru's most recent presidents have
12:23 am
been embroiled in corruption inquiries involving the brazilian construction giant or the bricked the daughter of disgraced former president i'll bet of which you morry is leader of the opposition majority party in that this missed congress keiko fujimori is currently in prison awaiting trial after being accused of accepting $1200000.00 in elicit electoral funding from other bricked this carries accuse the opposition of trying to use congress and the courts to shield themselves from ongoing criminal investigations for his judicial system is notoriously corrupt with judges courtroom wiretaps negotiating deals on sentences for serious crimes mariana sanchez has more now from outside the rules congress in lima. here in the area of the congress which is behind me blocking all entrance to it of the situation right now is of much uncertainty bizarre to say the least now proof
12:24 am
has 2 presidents one sworn in vice president says house sworn in as the new interim president for 12 months. for the presidency was declared vacant after legislators filed a motion last night and right after that approved a vacancy for moral incapacity without a trial without an impeachment so there's a lot of questions about the legality of this move on the other hand this president has been discovered at the presidential palace he swore in a new prime minister he received a visit of the top military who issued a communique saying that the legal president of peru is mattingly and for a president who doesn't have a party in congress he has received the support of thousands of peruvians who have been marching not only since last night but throughout the last few months demanding the president who discovered the saw of congress because many people
12:25 am
associate congress with corruption. i'm joined now in the studio by peruvian journalist have yes sir thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera an incredibly complicated situation which really sees the president against the congress now it was all down to discolor effectively closing or trying to close parliament and and call for election and what do you make of that initial decision of what this is the vision i'm on the constitutional experts in peru he used an article of the constitution that enables him to close down parliament if the parliament has been putting off the calls to ruling the country some experts believe that that was the right decision because congress was making it very difficult for him to govern or the people believe that he has misinterpret the article of the constitution. enables him to close down congress he proposed on the 28th of july on the dependency speech to congress to close down congress to resign
12:26 am
as president and call elections congress to accept that because he's nominated by an opposition has been against the government and now he said that he didn't have any choice but to close down parliament parliament doesn't accept that by the way well no because they're still there still they're refusing to leave congress's anyway but it's vickery has the support of the police and the military chiefs so presumably he still has the upper hand in all of this not only that he has a much support from the population they've been demonstrations from very early today i was following the news all day with peruvian media from very early from 7 o'clock in the morning people the most treated in support of mr discovers decision to close down the congress so he has must have support in the streets but also as you say rightly he has the support of the armed forces in latin america and indeed in all the parts of the world if you have the support of latin america you have the upper floor of the armed forces you have the upper hand. yet though congress you know unpopular they may be that there's still them straight you know that they're against them where could this lead where do you see this going what he's called for
12:27 am
election for generally 20202020 which is what the constitution says when you close down parliament you have to call for early parliamentary elections on in 4 months for elections will take place in january 2020 we depends to see how they actually international community reacts to these the organization of american states which gathers all that in american conscience house taking a kind of like a neutral position perhaps welcome they have welcomed the decision by the president to call for early elections so it's a kind of like a very soft in boston or what needs to discover a house down but for as long as the house is support of the armed forces he has the support of the people then he will he will be able to get away with this ok and just more widely about peru and how we got here not necessarily the latest developments with him and then trying to close parliament but more about the inherent structural problems i guess in peru that have led to this quite extraordinary situation the key element here is corruption this been
12:28 am
a huge companies to he took office in march last year when former president bill republican had to resign because of a corruption he's been at the forefront of fighting corruption in peru which is huge this is a big problem for all of that record this brazilian involved company that has been bribing latin american leaders really frightened sense of. the government has been trying to clean the country from corruption and mysteries kyra believed not without reason that the congress has been putting off the call because you have people within the congress who are themselves accused of corruption so the key to center point of the situation is the fight against corruption and how he has not been able to do that because congress has not allowed him to do that be interesting to see how it develops for the moment peruvian journalist so thank you so much for sharing her he's with us thank you. now lots more still to come in this hour including hopes trade for 6 people still missing after a bridge collapses in taiwan scientists say part of

financial support because the african national defense security forces has essentially been fighting this war since 2014 and no major foreign force forces have been engaging in a battle in a big scale or even at a smaller scale. the support we get from the resolute support and also from the u.s. forces here is only limited to financial. even though peace talks between the taliban and the us have collapsed many people still hope the negotiations will resume in the near future but they acknowledge peace in afghanistan is not going to be straightforward the consensus is that the afghan security forces can't face the taliban without outside help that's a given but there is another potential problem in the future when peace finally comes to afghanistan how can 2 bitter enemies who fought in kill for 80 years come together in a national defense force. it's one of the many problems afghanistan will need to
