a protest and this year's unrest. and these are live pictures of protesters gathering outside a court that's hearing the cases of more than 100 demonstrators accused of participating in riots on sunday adrian brown reports now from hong kong the police of whom the choose day would be very dangerous it was the pitch battles carried on into the night with protesters defying repeated police warnings for people to stay off the streets even diners ignored the call though this clash spread from one side of hong kong island to the other and then back again police a day earlier banned all marches but people still took to the streets not to celebrate 70 years of chinese communism but to mourn it don't come up to them when they have. this is an illegal notch designer of the year oh no no

no there were more than 100 arrests some of the most intense violence was on the other side of the harbor in cow lou. 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 today i'm set our national day is supposed to be a day to celebrate and be happy but unfortunately some riotous choose to. do all these all these sorts of criminal damages assonance woundings assaulting police officer and their ers. behavior which more or less equal to a riot offense. the anger of recent 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-choice in a protest is also see themselves as defenders of hong kong. today's to 70 per day of our model and our model 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 marred what was never going to be a day of celebration adrian brown al-jazeera hong kong. scott hi liz live

from the school of the teenager who was shot by police during protests. we seem to be something of a crossroads when it comes to the process that we know. particularly after the firing of live rounds against demonstrations where do we stand. yes and where in front of a secondary school that you and you can tended now something amazing here just over the last hour or 2 you know hundreds were gathering out front it's a bit empty out here now that's because they are now inside the secondary school the principal came out addressed the crowd for a little bit and then they brought them in for into the assembly hall so they could have a discussion almost immediately after the principal came out he brought them in so it's quite an amazing feat for this principal he is just the principal of the school secondary school where this shooting victim attended he's brought them in these people a lot of them themselves alumni of this secondary school they were out here

protesting they're in now still having a discussion also something was quite amazing here there's another school a neighboring school just off to my right here and they were out on the balconies students out in the balconies chanting while this is all going on too so a lot of show of solidarity no one good thing to say about this 18 year old who was shot by police on tuesday he is now in stable condition this was after surgery he was transferred from the initial hospital he was taken to on tuesday to to another hospital there's more of a specialty hospital operation and then now we're hearing he is in stable condition now what's interesting too with the principal and some of the teachers here and some of his fellow students they went to the hospital last night tuesday to be by his side while he was going through this very difficult time precious time after that surgery but now again stable condition the. school of course in a school people shot by hong kong police this call good for a fish was that what if they'd been saying in response to this incident. well

the police officials have you know they issued a video press release on tuesday saying that the officer was in danger of life danger so he acted appropriately obviously that's not sitting well at all with the protesters you know we also heard from the administration from the hong kong administration they also defending the police officer's actions saying there was a riot like conditions so he had to act to save his life to protect his life so they are standing firm on that you know we're going to probably hear more from the crowd here but also we expect there should be some advance we're hearing this should be events around hong kong later throughout the day sporadic we're not sure exactly if it's going to be anything we've seen over the last couple of days but at least the protesters chat rooms and things there are discussions about things that could vents that could take place later on in the day it's called i live in hong kong thank you. u.s. president donald trump has denounced an impeachment investigation against him as

a coup and a war of words between house democrats and a key member of his cabinet has erupted in washington as more witnesses are being called to testify secretary of state mike pump aoe has pushed back against an order for 5 of his officials to appear before congress he says it's an attempt to bully and intimidate state department staff the chairman of 3 house committee say any attempts by pompei are to prevent officials from speaking to them is illegal and will be seen as obstructing the inquiry were democrats who are investigating whether president trump withheld aid to ukraine to pressure it into investigating potential democratic rival joe biden but the ukrainian president has dismissed the allegations saying he cannot be influenced. i've never felt any influence on me and there are a lot of people in russia in the west standard ukraine who would like to influence me but i love the president of ukraine of independent ukraine and it seems to me that my state so far shows that it is impossible to influence me. castro joins us

live now from washington d.c. heidi what's the latest out of washington we've seen pompei o and others close to the president on the mounting pressure. that's right and president trump has taken to twitter the latest hours voicing his his his opinion of all this he's saying that as he learns more information this is not an impeachment it's a coup that's a very. loaded word here in the united states where there never has been a coup in the u.s. government and he's accusing democrats in congress of trying to take away the election the 2016 election that brought him into office now asked he sent out this latest tweet this is just when news is breaking here in the u.s. about the latest development that yet another government insider another watchdog had agreed to an urgent briefing of congress tomorrow and this would be the

inspector general of the state department and inspector generals are technically members of the government but they operate independently their jobs are to make sure that their agencies are operating honestly and in keeping with the constitution and he is not the 1st to bring up these concerns to congress of course this all started just about a week ago with the specter general of the intelligence community raising to congress's attention a whistleblower report by an anonymous intelligence officer who said that trump on a phone call with the president of ukraine and while withholding close to $400000000.00 of u.s. military aid to ukraine try to pressure the ukrainian president into starting an investigation into joe biden trump's potential rival for the 2020 presidential elections of course that is what prompted this impeachment inquiry by democrats and the latest is now they're trying to hear from 5 former and current state employees

who they have requested to be deposed to congress one of them is memory of that she is the former ambassador to ukraine who was said. only recalled to d.c. in may her name came up during that call between trump and zelinsky he said that trump said that the former ambassador was bad news and sure importantly wasn't on board this attempt to get ukraine to help trump dig up dirt on his political opponent now marie you're gonna bitch is scheduled to be deposed on october 11th but before that on this thursday. members of the house foreign affairs committee is likely to hear from kurt volker he is the former ukrainian envoy who resigned from that post when this story broke last week he is implicated in the whistleblower report as having gone to ukraine to try to clean up the mess from trump's call he is to be deposed on this thursday. castro a washington d.c.

thank you very much let's bring in lichtman who joins us live on skype from bethesda maryland he's a distinguished professor of history of american university thank you very much for joining us. there seems to be a lot of angry defensive rhetoric coming out of washington specifically the white house do you think the trumps worried or is this just the will donald trump. we've never seen rhetoric like this coming out of a president president talking about so war likening the whistleblower and his sources to spot he's suggesting we should deal with them in the old fashioned way which was assassination and now of course even ramping up his rhetoric even more talking about a coup this is no coup yes there are 2 mechanisms for deciding who should be president one is will an election which by the way is not a direct vote of the people elect on college shoes as the president and the other

is impeachment which is also an indirect vote of the people since the framers put impeachment not in the judiciary but in the people's house the u.s. house of representatives and they put impeachment into the constitution as a legal orderly and peaceful means of dealing with a rogue president as opposed to the way they dealt with such leaders in their own time assassination or revolution and on specifically on impeachment you know from the outside well trying to decipher what all of this means he took us through the impeachment process and the legality of it all because impeachment is just the 1st part of a 2 stage process is that right. correct the u.s. house under the constitution has sole authority for impeachment impeachment is a charge it's like an indictment and the house can vote by simple majority whatever articles of impeachment it so chooses it could be specific statutory federal crimes

like obstruction of justice but it need not be the house judiciary committee for example recommended articles against richard nixon an abuse of power and contempt of congress that weren't specific crimes one stop houseboats articles of impeachment it goes to the u.s. senate which has the sole authority to try the president under the presiding chief justice of the united states supreme court john roberts the senate would then listen to prosecutors appointed by the house who could call witnesses present documents make opening and closing statements and cross-examine any witnesses brought by the president still fender's the senators would then vote and it takes a 2 thirds vote at that point to convict and remove a president and you alan have written specifically that the democrats shouldn't worry about whether the republicans agree to oust trump but why's that. of course

not 1st of all it is the constitutional duty of the house soley to decide whether a president is worthy of being charged it's not their responsibility to consult a crystal ball and try to figure out what the senate may do what all the evidence is out who knows what the senate might do but a senate trial itself would be incredibly damaging to president trump because it would lay out for the american people in great detail all of the charges and all of the evidence against him and would put the president on the defensive and he would have to answer the charges with real arguments and real analysis not with talking about cruise and civil wars and spies and not. rudy giuliani television hyperbole and misdirection all right allan lichtman thank you very much for helping us through all of that thanks for your time any time take care.

elections are to be held in sept is controlled eastern ukraine paving the way for talks with moscow is the latest peace move on the ukraine's new government led by president selenski after last month's mass prisoner exchange with russia victoria gates and the reports. of protesters outside the ukrainian president's office in the capital kiev they're angry about an agreement with kremlin backed separatists in eastern ukraine which allows for elections a legislative territory they say it amounts to capitulation to russia to get their work in the war has been going on in ukraine as a secure almost 5 years because ukrainian soldiers die the a shade their blood and volunteers provide aid to the community cares about ukrainian independence and the in one day all of these if it's a broken by a statement of capitulation by the presidential office the agreement between the ukrainian government kremlin backed separatists russia and european monitors was

signed in the belorussian capital minsk separatist negotiators say it's an important 1st step to end the fighting between separatists and ukrainian government forces the began after russian forces seized an annex the crimean peninsula from ukraine in 2014. it's a starting point where we begin the process of creating the conditions for political resettlement 1st of all means a change in the ukrainian constitution and the adoption of a special long about the election. at least 13000 people have been killed in fighting in the last 5 years ukraine's we could be elected president polygamy is the length he wants to revive peace negotiations with russia but analysts say this stalemate consolidate demands by separatists the greater autonomy so you really. green arrow action. under current conditions and that is actually what moscow wants

it wants to use this process with what it considers a weak ukrainian president who's growing more and more isolated from international partners in the last part manage at a very decisive moment and solidify the crime again from ground 0 as cases elections will be held only when he crane regains control of all its borders with russia still a northern well this means to journalists and members of the audience that there will be no election under the gun and they can't be any more simple but these protesters piers the lenski has made too many concessions already and a warning that russia will be a tough negotiating partner in any future tools to end fighting in eastern ukraine victoria gayton be out is there are plenty more ahead on the news hour including. i'm wayne hay with a rare look inside the demilitarized zone that separates north and south korea will tell you how the latest technology is helping those who live in this isolated

$35.00 stealth warplanes as part of solve the biggest ever weapons purchase young says the new weapons are a grave provocation that violate recent into korean agreements or mintaro is a former u.s. state department diplomat and he joins us now live from washington d.c. thank you very much for joining us as i mentioned the test comes just hours after the the government to agree to a new nuclear talks with the united states how should we interpret this move them why i think this is part of north korea's longstanding playbook of rapidly juggling carrots and sticks they try to get the most out of engaging the united states and others diplomatically by also raising tensions and putting pressure on their their partners and by doing this they're normalizing certain activities like these missile launches and really pushing the boundaries of what is considered acceptable behavior that's what we've seen today and does all this mean that talks are now off

how do you think the u.s. will swell and why i think the north korean calculation is he here is that the united states is very much invested in these talks and therefore war not put up much of a strong response to these launches as it hasn't in previous launches and in previous months so i think the north koreans are certainly calculating that the talks will continue in the united states will not make a strong response and all the while south korea's been been showing off its latest purchases these f. 35 stealth fighters bought from the united states how is it possible for the u.s. to work constructively with both sides of the border. well i think the united states has a very long standing alliance with south korea our foremost obligation is to defend south korea against any north korean attack so it makes sense that we will continue to sell them equipment like that like this and i think that's very consistent with

our alliance obligation and our negotiations with north korea are also consistent with the obligation in trying to reduce the threat to our ally in south korea. clearly in the region china has a huge influence on north korea you know given that north korea's fired at least 7 missiles into the sea of japan since july i think more that china could and should be doing all china has somewhat different interests from the united states its main interest is denuclearization but stability in its immediate neighborhood in the region so its main interest is in continuing diplomacy. and reducing tensions over time so i think the north koreans can count on china to do very little and largely supported priorities. particularly in forcing sanctions and so forth mintaro thank you very much for joining us at least

turkish officials indicate that she was killed and dismembered by a saudi hit squad so the crown prince mohammed bin solomon says he takes responsibility but the noise ordering the killing fields say is demanding answers from riyadh the crown prince monley. it is meaningful that this was broadcast close to the october 2nd date it sounds to me like it was something that was said to weaken or listen public pressure secondly if that is not the case and it was carried out under the crown prince's responsibility then we would have the right to ask him about the details then why was jamal killed and why has the public not been informed about the death until now i am talking about the details for instance we don't know where the body is his funeral prayers have not been performed there is no burial if he carries full responsibility then i believe we should be able to ask these questions in that case mohamed bin some months should give an answer.

white house earlier in the year saudi arabia and the u.s. have been close allies for decades and donald trump made it clear soon after the killing that the $1000000000.00 deals would not be affected in terms of the order of $110000000000.00 think of that $110000000000.00 all they're going to do is give it to other countries and i think that would be very foolish for our country but there are other things we can do that will be very severe. initially the crown prince mohammed bin some man got a bit of the cold shoulder at the g. 20 standing here on the far right the traditional family photo. an awkward moment captured turkey's president to one pos in the crown prince without as much as a glance but over time despite the international condemnations there were no cotton diplomatic ties no major sanctions calling the only independent investigation carried out by the un special rapporteur for extrajudicial summary an arbitrary

as symbols of peace but stand as reminders of country still technically at war here in the middle of the demilitarized zone a line of trees is all that separates north and south korea day song dong is the only civilian south korean settlement inside the buffer zone which was created when the korean war ended with an armistice in 1953. we live so close by and we see the soldiers all the time we can feel any change of atmosphere directly as we live with the soldiers and the north koreans right across from us access to this isolated village of less than 200 people is strictly controlled by soldiers under the united nations command it's a unique place in many ways and now here's something most of the world doesn't are 5 g. cellular network it's being touted as a smart village with firestarter giving the 30 schoolchildren that latest technology and helping to reduce that feeling of isolation and better security for

farmers who need military escorts when going to fields close to the border but can now stay in town more often and use their phones to check and water crops. the introduction of this technology is clearly beneficial for the people who live in this village and obviously it's a good marketing ploy by the company that introduced it but undoubtedly there is also a message in it for north korea which lies just beyond these fields it's a message that says look at the technology right on your doorstep and consider the economic opportunities that could come with denuclearization. i don't know where and when there is a peace movement around the world i hope for an opportunity and a future to show our technology to north korea but that move towards peace stalled after the last meeting in june between u.s. president donald trump and north korean leader kim jong il and since that meeting which was held just a few 100 meters from days in the demilitarized zone there have been no further talks worrying many observers yes i am

a little bit concerned but it's up to the north koreans they need to firmly commit to denuclearization and i'm hoping the north korea will do so in the near future the south koreans say they have scrambling technology in place so those across the border can access the new 5 g. network that is the high stakes diplomacy starters high tech innovation is being taken as close to north korea as possible wayne hay al jazeera in the demilitarized zone south korea the long standing between peru's president and the right wing opposition has sunk the nation into a political crisis president martin vickery's decision to dissolve congress was met with defiance from the opposition as they swore in the vice president as interim president but the military police and large sections of the public have picked a side and they all support marianna sanchez reports from lima.

maybe this will change things around but why can this car wait for a year if you couldn't govern he should have stepped aside. critics of discover say he's a weak president now members of the opposition majority say he's the roof new dictator and he's this isn't is a could it possibly lead us to the surely we will go to international organizations to protect our rights but also we will march alongside peruvians to recover our democracy in the middle of this uncertainty and as the hours go by the president my position is consolidating he has the army he has the police but most importantly he has the approval of most prove. and opinion poll in may said 71 percent of peruvians disapproved of congress 63 percent wanted it closed on tuesday many said they felt relieved. i'm happy because finally they brought down the rats nest they supported corruption. they want all those involved
