the 1st world war have become part of the scenery in the us river. follow a protester in hong kong is in a critical condition after being shot by police the shooting happened as demonstrators attempted to stop traffic going into the city center earlier police fired tear gas and water cannon in an effort to disperse protesters tension is high after a student protester died on friday let's get an update and speak to sarah clarke she's joining us from hong kong just tell us where you are and what you've been seeing sara. where inside one home which is a possible district on the eastern side of hong kong on and and that's where that protester was shot with live ammunition this morning by police and the pedestrian crossing was on my right hand side to rhapsodize its route money. there's been lots
11:02 am
of street clashes here where that protester was shot you did mention he's now in intensive care he underwent surgery the police have also confirmed that 3 rounds of live ammunition 3 rounds of live bullets were fired during that incident now this was a day where protesters called a general strike and that general strike was targeting the major transport systems and the road networks so throughout today we've had major thoroughfares big highways busy areas at least 20 trying stations have all been shut some universities were closed early schools some schools chose to send their children home to school children students home early simply because of the huge disruption we've seen not just on hong kong island but across the entire city and where we are now this is certainly the instant that's that's attracted a lot of huge crowds you might never see behind me quite a few people have gathered throughout the day they've been hurling abuse heckling to the right place the police have been in and out of here trying to clear this area but i'm not sure if you can see around me there are still bricks scattered the
11:03 am
air is still quite a mess as a protest is there not giving up and once again in front of me we've got them again putting those blockades back up again so this particular strike it started at the beginning of the day we're now at the end of the business day and the demonstrations and the blockades haven't stopped so does this particular incident of the protester being shot have the potential to further raise tensions. it certainly has not think it's also kind of angered some members of the public and surprise some member of the public that a traffic police officer used live ammunition on this particular protester and if you've seen hundreds if not thousands of people gather at these various sites today we had we did have the demonstrators in the protestors but the public also joined dean in some of those kind of demonstrations or those block a we also had that 22 year old student who died on friday from a cardiac arrest and that was after suffering a brain injury while taking part in a protest. earlier that week on the monday he died and that also triggered an
11:04 am
escalation certainly the anger of the tension in hong kong between the police and the protesters and it doesn't seem to be it doesn't seem to be any end in sight we've got more protests planned tomorrow we've had today's monday's general strike and we've had 3 days since friday lots of a number of vigils and big blockades rallies in assemblies held across hong kong and this is now the 5th month of demonstrations ok sara clark thank you well live u.s. president has resigned after weeks of protest against his reelection and disputed elections but ever murali says it's a coup latin america's longest serving leader also accused police official in a warrant for his arrest which was denied by pollute bolivia's police chief has packed the streets of the capital a pause to celebrate morale is his announcement he was stepping down after almost 14 years in office a little mental see i'm resigning from my position as president in order that people from cochabamba and the poor people are not tried in on anymore i'm

11:15 am
from athens. stomach this block us has no doubts about the benefits of china's presence and greece's largest put his crude repaints ships but during greece's economic crisis they lost most of their work now that's changed. the work has increased 5 fold the chinese reported because they came as a large entity with money and customers trust large companies like us and his crew are going to repaint this 50000 ton tanker the pirates port of origin shipyard couldn't normally have handled such a large ship but 3 years ago the state owned china ocean shipping company. bought a controlling stake in the port and last year it brought 2 floating docks to expand its ship repair business costco has big plans it's going to build berths for the
11:16 am
world's largest cruise ships and turn the ports empty warehouses into $4.00 and $5.00 star hotels costco has increased piracy contain a business sevenfold during the decade that it's been managing it there's no arguing with the numbers costco has invested $2000000000.00 here over the past decade and created 2000 direct new jobs and it plans to invest almost another $1000000000.00 in the next 5 years to create another 2000 jobs such growth would be unimaginable under greek state control the question is what are the political ramifications of such as to chinese state investment in greece the 3 month old conservative government here has reaffirmed the country's ties to the e.u. and us but greece and china commercially important to each other the institute for international and economic studies estimates that paris is now the entry point for 10 percent of china's exports to europe that's worth as much as. $50000000000.00 to
11:17 am
the chinese economy but many see greece isn't reaping the full benefits i think that the greek side may not be gaining more than one percent of the overall benefits to be drawn from this project compare the overall worth of those commodities to what is actually getting into greece's state coffers and you'll see that there's a huge gap between the 2 think it's when chinese president and greek prime minister get yeah cause me to thank yous meet that may also be a major subject for discussion. let's get an update from johnson are up with us he's joining us from athens so what should we be looking out for during this 3 day trip and what is the greece hoping to get out of this visit. in terms of the actual events of the trip it's very straightforward it's the classic state visit of bents the laying of a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier a meeting with the prime minister to sign a bilateral agreement with the president
11:18 am
a visit to the acropolis museum tomorrow but in terms of the signaling the symbolism of the visit i think things are much more interesting greece is showing the rest of the world that it is a reliable investment destination this government has been elected on a promise to bring growth to 4 percent of g.d.p. up from 1.9 percent last year that is a doubling of growth and it needs investors like china to signal to the rest of the world that yes greece is a reliable investment partner and china of course is also signaling to the rest of the world that it is present that it is an alternative strategic relationship to those of the united states and the european union it is a soft power relationship it is based on trade and cultural exchanges but there's always the undertone that china is there to do more of that is desired by both sides and greece is very much aware of that and it's playing its cards very
11:19 am
carefully it isn't showing the. it's abandoning its traditional alliance relationships it is showing the rest of the world that it is capable of bringing large scale state and private investment the paris investment is also of course practically very important it could eventually end up being responsible for. close to one percent of greece's g.d.p. if things go as planned and china's benefits from this trade relationship with greece are also important the greek prime minister could you have this mix of banking recently said the greek ship owners have built a 1000 vessels over the last 15 years and chinese shipyards worth about $50000000000.00 worth of construction and there are other benefits there are other greek investments which are flowing the other way as well so this is this is at the moment. the leaders of the 2 governments saying that this is an investment that is here this is a relationship that is here for the long term it is proven and tried it is
11:20 am
trustworthy we have great expectations from it at the moment the benefits commercial and trade benefits but the horizon is very much open and there are very much a warmth to this relationship that suggests that great things can happen all right john well leave it there for now thank you for that update from athens. well the u.s. is calling for early elections in iraq and for an end to violence against protesters . security forces opened fire on protesters again on sunday killing at least 9 people at least 325 have been killed across the country since protests began at the beginning of october iraq's parliament to set to discuss protesters demands later on monday. an al-jazeera investigation has found a number of countries have been violating the united nations arms embargo imposed on libya a leaked document from the egyptian foreign ministry has revealed that cairo sent
