a car park during a protest on monday but after 2 operations he died of a cardiac arrest was of course. the family wants to tell the media and the people of hong kong thank you very much for showing your support and encouragement to queen elizabeth hospital in the past few days they are very thankful. child was a computer science undergraduate at the hong kong university of science and technology friday i was the graduation ceremony for many of the students that event became a memorial as his colleagues paid tribute to the 22 year old i think as a very grave day and we all have we all have i think a lot of people not just oh yes the members have a man talk operation for this but still when it comes to fact it hurts a lot this could be the 1st death as a direct result of the confrontations between police and protesters in hong kong

the anti-government movement blames the police for china's injury which occurred when tear gas was fired on students during a dispersal operation he was trying to employ. from the police fired tear gas was caught for them from a cop and so today we want. our house and also locked in my car the government and the police to launch a free pass because the government has expressed its regret and sorrow of the death of the 22 year old student standing in sympathies to the family but this incident is lucky to further anger the anti-government movement with more protests is expected to join demonstrations this weekend. high profile pro-democracy activists joshua wall and agnes chow have called on protesters to join the rallies which are now in their 5th month they were charged with organizing a legal assembly in june. before friday's court appearance they demanded an

independent police inquiry into what they describe as excessive force being used on protesters it's now is the time for the government to step up in the band as investigation on the clash we didn't know for truth and justice. the police have denied any wrongdoing and will conduct a comprehensive investigation into the circumstances of the student's death sarah clarke al-jazeera hong kong. well let's stay with the story we're now joined by joseph chang a retired professor and senior figure in the pro-democracy movement in hong kong and he's joining us live from there mr chang always good to have you with us on al-jazeera we've heard from police they said they're going to investigate mr child's death for democracy activists want an independent inquiry but how likely is that. i don't think it is likely of both this the man has been supported by over 80 percent of young people as the threat to bar 8 reason for

people being in polls the same polls have indicated sorry more than 50 percent of our own count people now have ciro confidence in the police force and 6869 percent of the people would like to see a reorganization of the police force but the timing supporters have indicated it's not going in the resent being numb of the party central committee how did they doing less than a week ago and disheartened i probably will be pursued the only very very big carry their own administration which means no further concessions including not setting up an independent commission of inquiry mr chang if. if we can expect an independent investigation into mr child's death and the measures that you mention are being planned what does that mean for 5 months of demonstrations as other aren't going to get worth. it is already in

a very bad age of the breed the proper status will tend to ever repeat to be different correct dates in the sense that the protests are there but these have become smaller in scale small is but unfortunately the catch if you get the police become bargain it will probably develop into a long term peaceful non-cooperation campaign against your government you trying to demonstrate is. it to tennessee and its inability to govern effectively support there by sight the mosque already crashes the police. from the by the. radical court or status and that's what we can expect from protesters how do you think the chinese government will respond to one of those who

already heard from the chinese vice premier who said that you know at this level of extreme violence wouldn't be tolerated or accepted by any nation in the world they're talking of them pows and national security laws in hong kong which include a further militarization of police. we are afraid that the chinese authorities to will increase to pressure on hong kong exerting pressure on the kerry lemon ministration to into the deal as the article 23 legislation the land and mr asian now enjoys very very extensive powers through of is activation of the emergency regulations all in and are as symbolized by the introduction of this anti law it is expected there need to control that the internet will just rely on. the larger point of our reporter states for

communications purposes and there is a danger that the district comes the elections the local night you actually scheduled at the end of the month maybe postponed because as we saw a few days ago we had a probe aging legislator. stabbed while he was campaigning so these elections already looking like they might be a point for more protests. most people do not believe in the truth of what is legislated genius whole said certainly not by any member of the pro-democracy movement but confrontations and clashes between the 2 terms have been escalating demonstrated that the reason polarization and confrontations among the people and this is certainly sad and this we faxed the

absence of reconciliation process is shows. that crackdown initiative on the part of the you will not be able to resolve the crisis mr chang just to be clear one last thing you don't believe legislative genius hose account then off the stabbing on wednesday we do not have evidence. against what he said i do admit there but you feel talk to people in hong kong if you talk to the people supporting the real democracy movement i don't think there is a lot of confidence in that story mr chang thank you as always for your time we do appreciate it that is joseph chang live in hong kong thank you. we're moving on to other news now an iran says its forces have shot down what it's calling a foreign drawn it reportedly happened over the city of mashad in the south the provincial government has parts of the wreckage have been recovered and june ted on

shot down a u.s. drone saying that it had violated the air space now an earthquake in northwestern iran has killed at least 6 people and injured hundreds more the magnitude 5.9 quake struck in the east other by john province they have been dozens of aftershocks since. now firefighters in the strain state of new south wales have an uncharted territory when more than a dozen bushfire us posing a severe risk there are reports of people being trapped in their homes but has the latest. every summer parts of australia go up in flames in hot windy conditions wild bushfires a common but this season an extended drought has caused the fires to spread more rapidly than usual it was a sort of came over our house house yesterday afternoon and then died down i have no idea and then out with their winnings at lunchtimes picked up again so i think

it's all sort of compete out of hand at the mine if it out of control here. the bushfires in new south wales and queensland cover a 1000 kilometer stretch of countryside police have ordered 4 and a half 1000 people to leave their homes along queensland's sunshine coast local radio stations have stopped normal programming instead they're broadcasting advice about how to survive a house fire and local officials say they're struggling to get the bushfires under control because of the drama so the fuel and the flammability of the fuel even the smallest of embers are landing and taking hold and developing as you far's very quickly so you wind up getting this exponential rapid spread of the mine far from moving across the landscape and unfortunately we can expect more of that to die for those whose homes are in danger difficult decisions will have to be made. here in 10 minutes. i'm sure. strong winds and high temperatures are

expected to ease this weekend but low humidity levels continue to make it challenging for firefighters and worrying for residents whose homes and lives are at risk the tory gayton be algis there. right the acting white house chief of staff mcmahon. veiny has been asked to testify as part of the impeachment inquiry into president donald trump the house intelligence committee has subpoenaed him to appear in about an hour's time but the white house has instructed its officials not to comply with the investigation the inquiry is looking into whether trump tried to pressure ukraine into investigating his political rival joe biden. now its state department official has accused transpersonal noir rudy giuliani of helping to conduct what he called a campaign of lies against the then u.s. ambassador to ukraine george kent to made the comments during his testimony at the inquiry the transcripts were released on thursday ken said senior colleagues told

him to keep his head down on ukraine even though it was part of his portfolio where let's get more on all of this our white house correspondent kimberly health that is joining us live from washington d.c. so the outspoken the acting chief of staff mick mulvaney has been asked to testify but how likely is that kimberly. it's pretty unlikely and we've got a window into why the white house thinks he should be there according to the deputy press secretary who can get laid this is a ridiculous partisan an illegitimate process so bad is why the president has advised mick mulvaney not to appear before this hearing so we expect that he is going to be a no show but as you point out he is scheduled and why have the democrats and democratic investigators are so interested in mick mulvaney is because of a press conference that he gave on october 17th last month he was asked directly by reporters if there was a quid pro quo if in fact he was one of the people inside the white house

withholding military aid to ukraine in exchange for the president getting a promise from the ukrainian president to investigate his political rival former vice president joe biden and it was at that time that mick mulvaney answered we do it all the time get over it well he since walked back that statement but it was televised people remember him saying it so democratic investigators are looking to hear what more he might have to say what more instructions you may have been given in terms of whether or not there was any other potential presidential abuse of power and committee is today the last day of the closed door hearings before we move into the public face. yeah there have been 13 witnesses that were scheduled this week only 2 showed up gives you a sense of where things stand that's why a lot of people are really focused on what happens next week as you point out as the opening up of the public phase of these hearings where the american public now

gets a chance to see for itself how this is going whether or not it is been a secret proceeding as republicans allege whether or not it has been transparent as democrats say it has been now the public has to decide for itself so a lot of focus on the start of that and there's a lot of focus on how the president might defend himself there has been talk there has been some reporting of potentially shuffling some of the republican members of the house intelligence committee to better defend the president another thing that is being discussed is whether or not the republicans will start raising these types of talking points if you will on local cable chat shows etc where they start raising doubts about some of these deputies who have already been talking about mick mulvaney a very prominent member of the white house whether or not the talking points coming from republicans will now start to shift into in order to protect the president suggesting that the deputies such as mick mulvaney even the president's lawyer rudy giuliani whether or not they were acting alone independent of the president to kind

of gave him plausible deniability in the allegations facing committee thank you for that finance committee held with all the latest live in washington d.c. thank you company. and pending more ahead on news our impending. but chile's president announces new measures to crack down on bond and protests plus. i'm dominic kane at the berlin wall finding out the lengths people went to to escape the prison they felt this put them in. and in sports when hear from the player has just signed the biggest deal in the history of rugby or rugby league. turkish and russian troops have been holding the 3rd round of joint military patrols in syria it's part of an agreement between ankara and moscow to remove kurdish fighters from an area turkey wants to establish as

a safe zone turkey says it plans to resettle as many as 2000000 syrian refugees in the area but it has more from gaza and have near the turkey syria border so this is what is happening now the joint patrols will be traveling through the area that's questions of obviously all the way to maliki on the border with iraq they won't be able to get into the city of commission because it is not part of the sochi agreement and because the syrian government troops maintains a military presence inside the city after. maliki the 2nd phase would be to. conduct those patrols in the around could barely tell if i'd been busy and this is where you have some problems because russia says that all the white that you find to have pulled out from those areas something which is contested by turkey turkey still believes of those fighters are still operating in those areas along with their weapons and this is why they would like to ensure through their joint patrols that everyone has left at

a later stage turkey is intending to. setup observation post a longer safe zone of the area that's russia's from albuquerque all the way to words. to ensure. quite a lot still to come back. now iraq's top shia cleric is urging the military and police to avoid using excessive force against protesters grand ayatollah ali al sistani says the government must respond as quickly as possible to demonstrators demands overnight security forces shot dead at least 5 protesters in the southern city of basra after reports crowds were trying to break into government buildings troops also broke up a certain at the entrance of the port that is iraq's main port for oil and food and at least 6 more protesters were also shot down in the capital baghdad skirmishes broke out on shahar the bridge where security forces used live ammunition demonstrations there. are. demonstrations. everywhere are angry at the

the specter of violence despite the violence has happened these past 2 weeks they are committed to continue coming out to raise their voice to deliver a message to the government that they are going to continue to keep coming out on the streets until the government links until they start fighting them with the basic services that they deserve until they end the rampant corruption that all is known for and i want to bring in one of the protesters of that we were speaking with just a short while ago her name is debbie. has been coming out here day after day she's committed to the cause down the aisle let me ask you why are you like so many of your fellow iraq is continuing to come out. i can't. act and i came here to the demonstrations we all want our place to be heard are for me and for all of them this is that's fine that's we want our voice to be heard to be on the specific

weeks it's almost as if those officials are on the whole of the world they don't believe that the voices that are being expressed here have yet been heard what do you think do you think the government is feeling the pressure from these demonstrations yet and that they will act in a way that will appease the protestors exactly this is the 1st time they feel this pressure on them that's my name after that claim ever since we get and demonstration we all needed i can be building to getting our voices but this time they feel this pressure on them because the world the whole iraq is united one of their 7 own that we must if they stop it stop yelling i'm not getting caught up making the country so poor we are not poor we are so rich the country as you know the government is acting that way i guarantee you cannot find us or a living can other rule is because they are family and that's why they have that right down here thank you so much for joining us we appreciate it thank you so you heard it there that's the earlier one of the thousands of demonstrators is out here

weeks of demonstrations because you can see this area which is the epicenter if you like the headquarters of the biggest businesses in the country are now being closed and surrounded by protesters. while most protest is insist they don't support violence some argue the. current upheaval is a necessary evil. piniella says he listens to peaceful protests but what about those who have been demonstrating for more than 4 years but better pensions if those who started those protests had written a letter to the president is that rushing the metro would the president listened no . i. called for a rare emergency meeting of chile's national security council opposition members and demonstrators accuse the president of trying to criminalize the protests while others lamented that he had not been so energetic about increasing penalties to curtail police brutality. you see in human al-jazeera santiago.

a possible degree emphasizing to harangues right to peaceful nuclear energy i'm certain that it is in the interest of all to maintain the plan and to provide the atmosphere necessary to implementing its terms fully and completely within the jew time limit and as human conscience requires. now india is trying to build what could be the world's largest facial recognition system new delhi says the system could help fight crime and find missing children the technology has already been launched a few indian airports police in new delhi say there identify nearly 3000 missing children during the trial period last year but not everyone is convinced internet freedom advocates say there's little information about where and what the system will be used for power data will be stored the use of facial recognition software is common in places like china but one russia study has revealed the technology to be highly and accurate well let's get more on this we're joined now by punished

from bengal in india he's a fellow at the center for internet and society he's talking to us and a personal capacity today very good to have you with us on al-jazeera so can the indian government deploy the system even though there is little information on where or where it will be used what the data will be used for and how storage data storage will be regulated given the lack of full law to actually govern given. the law in india there is no law that actually govern the software about has been used or the picture recognition. to say in what kinds of it may be used what kind of data. and so on nothing authorizing the setting up of that project it's highly questionable. whether it would be legal but. so could we see this come in front of the supreme court but you know in the landmark ruling in 2017 on the national biometric identity card program said that individual privacy is

a fundamental right amid concerns over dr breaches in the cards you know mandated use for services could so could we see the supreme court check the rollout of facial recognition technology. absolutely so right now it is at a stage where the government off has put out a public tender. for soccer vendors to get back to this and so far it hasn't had much success and but on the other hand if it does actually go ahead the project and given the lack of accountability mechanisms given the lack of any check and balances and given how india's intelligence agency aren't even on through both the parliament and the people they don't operate and under any law it is very highly likely that it will be challenged in court and indeed in 27 in the different challenges in courts the deadly police. said that in the

there the accuracy of the facial recognition for whatever you think was only one percent and that often missed the little girl children 4 boys and so on i mean if that accuracy ranks of one percent why is the government wanting to roll out such technology i mean the indian police say it's needed to phones to we know what is an incredibly severely on the police country but is this the way to do it so i don't think it's fundamentally a quest not of usage of technology. there are good uses for technology however that any kind of uses that specially those that means friendship on the liberty of a special recognition quite certainly may need to be highly regulated in fact in san francisco usage of facial recognition by the league arkansas actually the baton and so in a country like india where we have an absence all of privacy laws the doubt there

restrict regulations it's just foolish for the government the and the for profit because the those capacity for abuse that's. purply high and we have multiple cases in fact even 3 weeks ago in the bombay high court that was about unlawful phonons perception by the police and the english to the core problem that the government had in fact unlawfully up to and so the 'd amount of unlawful in the eagle surveillance in india is known to be high and in this kind of 2 ation of to bring in even more technology but thout providing any safeguards for for citizens or indeed any limitations on how the police or other agencies of the government me use the on what kinds of databases they me get

information from or the paid shills recognition none of that is actually put out there in the tender and no safeguards are provided and then we need the law and the absence of a bird i love to go to. just create the least. mr prakash it is great to get your expertise on this we really appreciate your time that is punish prakash live and then going to thank you. now political parties are increasingly targeting bosses online ahead of the upcoming election and while the traditional media is tightly regulated some commentators say rules on social media content fit for purpose now they looks at the digital dangers to democracy and i think a straightforward question to labour's bricks it spokes person and a prompt reply what would be you give you a good deal if they know that you're going to actively campaign against it. you're going to be doing what piers i have been talking to but now look at what the conservative party of prime minister boris johnson made of it in

a twitter post. misleading it it provoked anger and ridicule from some but the conservatives stood by their video this is actually right now what we are concerned about it's not the deep it's what we would call it fake so something that has been edited with a little bit of a video editing software doesn't have to be complicated but it's still changing the entire message after video and it is something that is performing very well on line and has a tendency to go viral. the labor party's now taken a well known image from boris johnson's 2016 campaign with a misleading claim about health spending on the side of a bus and twisted it to attack his new bricks it plan made his opponents of attack very for making outlandish claims but they're not backing down either in the u.k. political advertising on t.v. and radio is restricted to a very few tightly regulated slots for each party making the online arena story

important twitter's decision to scrap political advertising can prevent misleading or downright fake content being shared meanwhile facebook has chosen not to block a misleading political posts insisting it can't act as a censor since the 2016 bricks at referendum social media companies say they've got better at dealing with fake accounts and fake news but it took 3 spoke to years to show the world misleading referendum advertising like this different groups got different versions of each child's we don't know who got what's or why i'm not kind of micro-targeting is going to be a big feature of this election campaign when you get a leaflet through your door by a political party it says on it it has to have by law a name and an address on it to say who's responsible for that there's no such rule online and so when you see an online advert it's
