last day i come here i am motivated by my pitch a tism from a country when i see someone in severe pain it's impossible for me not to help them i stood in graduates and to save lives meanwhile a kind of civic spirit is spreading garbage bags have been put out encouraging people not to litter protesters are sweeping the streets and artists are transforming the walls of this tunnel into a colorful canvas to express their heartache and their hope for their country natasha going to. baghdad. now to today and what began as protests there against the cost of travelling on the train is gathering momentum and turn you against the billionaire president and i've been they've been more angry scenes in the capital santiago in the past few hours police and fired tear gas and water cannon at demonstrations president sebastian pinera has become the target of the growing anti-government protests people are upset about low incomes poor public health care

and the increasing gap between rich and poor earlier out latin america into the sea and human got caught up in the demonstrations while talking to lauren tyler in london. well sure there are a lot of tear gas a lot of mortar cabin near the main area where the protests have begun for the last more than 2 weeks now this protest was called to ask for the resignation of president sebastian pinera a much more a protest than the ones we've seen it normally but the police is being very very heavy handed it's not allowing people to congregate and they're basically playing cat and mouse with the security forces. as you can see everybody is running now in this direction. but the do as i say the groups are much smaller than they have been in the last few days but the police for the once is not allowing them to gather at all and it might be because no fridays protest a small group for gestures right down to

a piece of one of the most emblematic statues here in santiago that is at that plaza italia where people gather and talking as riot police took over that area at about 3 hours ago and. oh dear and so the protesters are now throwing rocks at them and it's getting very difficult to breathe here i have to tell you lauren and the water cannon is now from what i can see coming in our direction. well it's pretty more ahead on the news hour including we'll be live in bangkok where leaders from 16 nations are trying to hammer out the world's largest trade bloc outrage after brazil's indigenous warrior is found murdered by illegal logging . it's cool to harm town of south africa's rugby captain celebrates a historic world cup when. we

go see eye since to finalize an asia wide trade deal and fears of an escalating u.s. china trade war a lot of things to dominate the asean summit in bangkok and these are live pictures from there members of southeast asian nations are hoping to finalize that try to agreement but there are some roadblocks still a small we cross live to scott hodler who's at that summit in bangkok just getting under why at a lot of the focus here scott apart from triton what people are talking about inside the room is how the united states is approaching this matey. then yes exactly it's very interesting because when you hear the rhetoric that's been coming out of the state department for the last couple of years of the trump administration they have said that they are focusing on the indo pacific region heavily yet when you see today the beginning sunday of this summit they don't have

any high level representation here the united states the highest level they have as the secretary of commerce when you look at other nations particularly china the premier league chang is here. prime minister from japan is here since so are they so when you look at the level of other members participating in the on some of the united states it's very very sending a very very low level people that's very exciting because they say though that this is a very important region to them to their outreach into asia their importance and when they look at the in the opposite reason yet they're really not sending anybody the kind of represents that level of involvement here in this region stan scott clearly the big powers chawner in the united states to the war of try that's causing a big cloud over this meeting tell us more about the approach to that from as nations and this idea of a regional wide try to block that might be the biggest in the wool.

yes it's very difficult for a lot of the aussie on nations when it comes to this trade war between the united states and china you have situations where like here in thailand this nation deals with both and it's very important to trade agreements trade relationships with both the united states and china so that kind of stuck in the middle if you will and in some cases in some nations forcing them to choose sides which has been very difficult because you know when you look at the global economic picture it's not that great and then when you look regionally it still is even worse and when you look at the decisions some of these nations have to make it is very difficult switching over to this regional trade pact that's been in the works now for several years there was hope that there might be an initial draft in this kind of agreement coming out of this r.c. on sidelines of this aussie on summit here in bangkok it's looking like that is not too likely you know you have nations very big nations china and india involved in this so you can imagine that there are very concerned about how this trade agreement will work again as you mentioned stan it's going to be the largest in the

world we're hearing now that india has some reservations about how china products chinese products will enter into their market so it doesn't sound like we're going to get any real kind of definitive agreement out of these next couple of days but at least they're kind of moving the ball down the field if you will when it comes to this largest trade back and it's interesting when you look at this this is something that china has put forward to really counter what the united states under the obama administration was pushing for the transpacific partnership that was scuttled when when president trump immediately withdrew right after he came into office so this is something that china is looking at as an opportunity and a lot of analysts look at what's going on now in this region and the lack of u.s. involvement in some it's like this is almost the united states side stepping in letting china take the lead on these types of trade agreements but again it will be it will be instantly see how these next couple of days of negotiations go again that's on the sidelines of the asan summits and yet try to grams of that size easy to talk about the very high to finalize called thank you so that's called the joining us off their banks. now to hong kong where police have fired tear gas at

massed protesters some of them were vandalizing shops and setting fire to metro stations china's mine state news agency was also attacked saturday's violence is the worst the territory has seen in recent weeks there's anger of a beijing's influence in hong kong politics and a police crackdown is dave york a problem with more. the question in hong kong nowadays isn't whether protesters will be on the streets but rather which ones spell take over coming up to the 5th month the weekend demonstrations these latest protests brought several districts to a standstill. on polling morning nobody wants to see violence but who is forcing us to come out a mob it's also called chief executive and so i came out today as i hope the people of hong kong will not forget that things have changed the demonstrations used to be so peaceful the days protest started as an approved rally at victoria park attended

by thousands of people the gathering was led by democratic candidates standing in local elections later this month the protests gained traction after democracy icon joshua wong was disqualified from contesting the election a move he calls politically motivated but the demonstrations soon turned violent when police blocked protesters from marching into the streets and set up a cordon to prevent others from entering the park. less than an hour after the rally began tear gas was fired sending people scrambling protesters shut down main roads and took over hong kong central district you can hear the sirens in the distance and the air is thick with tear gas and smoke but that isn't putting up any of these. hundreds of them are gathered here in one khan's main a financial center a place that is usually teeming at shoppers during the we can send tourists instead the protesters have taken over the street the building barricades set up public

objects on fire and are waiting for the police to come here and they came in large numbers firing tear gas and pepper spray dispersing the protesters in all directions they kept with their philosophy the water to recruit and disrupt other parts of the city protesters vandalized the offices of the state run shin one. use agency widely seen as the mouth piece of the chinese communist government in an unusual move earlier this week chinese political leaders indicated that beijing is likely to intervene more in hong kong's affairs in the name of safeguarding national security some protesters believe this could mean their days on the streets are numbered how. we all know about the movement were not be able to count us what with the mounted yet we insist on not here we fear that this could be our last chance but for now the standoff looks like it will continue despite months of

security in the area from the french to then the chief. countries but i think this attack is just another example of how the military. the attempt to do this through the through the military it's simply not going to be the entire solution they're not achieving their goal of security in the region i think there's a lot of ongoing resentment between this disconnect between those people who are living in the north and the social regions who are in cleese creasing lay frustrated by what feels to be a lack of ability to actually successfully clamp down on these terrorists and the u.s. state department in a new report says attacks in the soho region doubled last year and in that same reports again accused iran of being the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism

victoria gotta be has the round up. iran's spends nearly a $1000000000.00 a year supporting what the us describes as terrorist groups that's according to an annual report on terrorism by the us state department. it says iran uses its proxies to expand its influence around the world on the gulf region the report paints a mixed picture it says that despite serious efforts by governments some individuals and groups is still financing attacks in particular it says the u.a.e. government works well with the u.s. intelligence agencies but hasn't done enough to prevent terrorist organizations from exploiting financial loopholes turnley u.a.e. did not succeed entirely in its pledges to not succeed. in its efforts to eradicate terrorism certainly it had most of its success in preventing attacks in u.a.e. so i would have a seat in that respect but in terms of terror and for terrorist financing that

continues to flow in the u.a.e. there needs to be a lot more done the state department will say says the $29.00. a month blockade imposed on cattle by saudi arabia the u.a.e. bahrain and egypt is hampering regional counter-terrorism efforts u.s. position is very clear and that is that. the gulf reconciliation is a core national security interest and more than that in the state department report i was just released today. specifically stressed that lack of lack of coordination between the g.c.c. is actually hampering counterterrorism cooperation in the region as the blockade continues the u.s. position is that outside pressure on either side would not help and the blockade and such regional instability can only add to rising tensions with iran the turia gates and be al-jazeera. still ahead on the al-jazeera sierra leone's illegal
