a surge in support for the far right. president xi jinping arrives in athens as chinese investment revives greece's biggest ports. hello hong kong's chief executive says escalating violence will not make the governments yield to pressure hours after a protester was shot by police an anti-government protesters set a man on fire the most shocking incident some bright just cold frame of electric onto a person and set him on fire. demanded me to hospital in critical condition and the case is under investigation by regional crime unit of new territory so. one demonstrator is in critical condition after being shot by police during protesters attempts to stop traffic traffic entering the city center

and the footage was broadcast live on facebook and shows an officer drawing a gun while attempting to detain a masked man demonstrators have been stopping vehicles rail traffic and blocking roads they say police are using excessive force against them and the violence follows the death of a student on friday he died of his injuries after falling from a building during an earlier protests and several opposition legislators were arrested over the weekend here's what the chief executive kerry had to say a little earlier on. if there is do any. wishful thinking that by escalating violence the hong kong as a government will yield to pressure. to satisfy those so-called political demands. making this clear and loud here that will not have. violence is not going to give us any solution to the problems that hong kong is

facing. let's bring in sara clark she's joining us from hong kong so it was somewhat of a defiant message by kerry what's the protestors reaction to what she had to say. but it certainly was a defiant message on a rare monday night appearance of that special press conference responding to monday's biden clashes between police and protesters and the traffic chaos which paralyzed a large pots of hong kong and the protesters showing no signs of withdrawing where we are now is so i want it's the eastern part of hong kong island where that protester was shot early on monday morning by police using live rounds of ammunition and the practice is a back here once again the barricades have been set up in this area here it's a very busy intersection it's all been blocked off now this is just one part of one area that's had the traffic chaos throughout the day we can confirm that at least 10 other areas across hong kong a tear gas has been fired rubber bullets have been fired sponge grenades have been

fired and of course the live rounds of ammunition 3 rounds of live ammunition this morning here inside one at the pedestrian crossing behind me but these practices are showing no signs of pulling back and they've also in the last 15 minutes of course the fact that they will continue their transport disruption they called today monday a general strike and that focus was on the transport system of the very busy m.t.r. system which is the realm network as well as the busy highways and we had huge traffic jams across hong kong today at least 20 empty well stations closed we. had some universities also closed for lessons and some schools closed early as a result we've had a number of universities already tonight confirm that they will be closed on tuesday and again as i mentioned the protesters are not responding to carry lambs defiant message they've said they will continue with today's traffic and transport disruption now target that again on tuesday so it sounds like sarah from what you're saying the tensions are just continue to rise.

indeed and look today with regard to that tear gas we had to guess fired in some very very busy areas including central which is the central business district on hongkong island and this was shot during or 5 during working hours during the lunch hour this is where a number of members of the public and onlookers were hit by surprise by that tear gas the hospital authority has confirmed about 50 people have sought help or been been admitted to hospital with various injuries from today's violent confrontations and as i mentioned if the traffic disruption and the transport chaos goes ahead again tomorrow we can expect further confrontations between the police and the public as well as those protests sara clark thank you well i represent the pro-democracy group demo sisto and she says hong kong police are abusing their power and not protecting the lives and safety of said citizens. i mean there's some

behavior of the protesters i am not proportional but i hope that people won't be only you know focusing on what the police have done not what the promises have done but the problem behind that the reasons behind that oh why are they such a large chair and discontents who wants to governments is because of you know the police keep eating power and use fire and so it was curtis as they should go and again today and that may and that make people think you know why police are being so i'm close from the boat and even the people say see and i am not being protected by the police but you know in the end the other way our lives are being threatened by. spain's ruling socialist workers party has won the largest share of the vote but fallen short of a majority after the 2nd general election this year the acting prime minister pedro sanchez his party wanted total of 120 seats and the far right vox party saw its

support surge to almost double april's results shown a whole has more from madrid. an election that was meant to break spain's political deadlock looks eve anything like it may have deepened it pedro sanchez the socialist party leader said he would begin immediately negotiating a progressive coalition will have his work cut out for him reaching out initially of course to you need you need most on the far left they've said they'll help him but that won't be enough he may need to reach further to the pro independence parties of catalonia who together have enjoyed their best result in a spanish election ever winning a combined 23 seats he need only be asking them to join some sort of a voting pact to support key pieces of government legislation like a budget but even that will be deeply controversial in the country and extremely fragile and see that against the rise of popularity for parties on the right complicating matters further not just the old conservative party of the people's

party but also a doubling more than doubling of the seat count for the far right vox party put all of that together and things look much more difficult for pedro sanchez battling away with a fragile coalition of the left but i think it is that rise of the far right that will overshadow this election more than anything else a party a far right party that only entered the parliament in april the 1st time a profile right party has been in politics here since the days of franco and now showing no sign of going away it has become spain's 3rd largest political force found pro separatist protesters from catalonia have blocked a major highway that connects the spanish region with france let's bring in her she's joining us from the france spain border so why are these process. protesters saying that they've blocked this highway. well they're heeding

the call from a group called democratic tsunami which basically called for 3 days of civil disobedience around the catalan region so this is the 1st action we are now in the french side of the border spain is just there behind us now they say they're going to stay and block this highway for the next 3 days a surgeon he called on their supporters to bring back their backpacks with battery power food water and anything to keep warm and to stay put here for the next 3 days they should be other actions of civil disobedience around the region we still don't know what there will be but certainly this was something they had been announcing on the day after the elections to make their voices heard the believe is that politics is not able to get out of the deadlock so you need to keep up the pressure from the streets until they say they is willing to sit down and talk with them and

try to get some sort of solution to this crisis and one sort of reaction can we expect from the authorities. well we know that ahead of the elections the authorities from madrid had already beefed up their security forces in the catalan regions sending several 1000 police men now we know that there are some policemen and police who have been deployed to this area and we can see them when the moment just a few policemen standing on the side here just watching what's going on but nothing more than that at this stage house things will evolve it's just as video early hours is very difficult to say what will happen next and what the level of destruction around the region will be over the next 3 days in the past there have been violent confrontations between the 2 sides at the moment everything is quite peaceful but that doesn't mean that things can develop in quite a negative way if there is an escalation on either side ok thank you for that

update. libya's president has resigned after weeks of protest against his reelection in a disputed vote but ever morale or says his removal is a coup and russia is backing his allegations and condemning opposition protests by our sanchez reports in the capital the past. 4 weeks protesters have claimed they were more or less committed fraud tobar general election then late on sunday believe use 1st indigenous or longest serving president announced his decision to resign from office a little money i'm resigning from our position as president in order that people from culture and the poor people are not trodden on anymore i'm resigning for them we don't want there to be a confrontation early this morning we met ministers and we decided to resign in order for there to be new elections or for bolivia alive or for the country. a chain of events led to the toppling of moralists a mutiny by police units preceded

a damning report at the organization of american states that pointed to serious irregularities in the vote counting it recommended a new election and prompted the military to also call for more list to step down it will be on a sad after analyzing internal conflict situation we ask the president of the state renounce his presidential mandate allowing for peace to be restored in the maintenance of stability for the good of bolivia. but modellers his political allies in the region in this way luck you and me get out condemned what they're calling a coup d'etat. on sunday before deciding to step down but unless ordered a new election was but it was too late to appease many believe who wanted nothing less than his resignation. on the streets of believe yes main cities thousands of his critics celebrated including supporters who say nearly 14 years as president is

enough rhetorical overly assumed i think the whole nation of bolivia is happy we have toppled a dictator we've ended a regime of terror today we are happy but this cannot end here within 20 officials including ministers and members of the electoral tribunal also resigned they've sought asylum in mexico mexico's foreign minister has tweeted in his account that his country has a long tradition to grant asylum and if former president over what alice decides to request that they will give it to him. the crisis is far from over tensions are running high on the streets of main cities and ellis was one of the most popular presidents in bolivia and he still has men's porters. political allies say they will march until they bring back constitutional order and for many that means bringing ever moralities back to power. many innocent just i'm just not pass.

to be on the agenda there's a little bit of confusion because many had expected that off parliament would be discussing. the electoral reform law that the officials keep talking about the last few days in fact it looks like that may not be the case but we're being told now is that a draft of this the election reform law has been finalized by the president's office but that it will next go to the cabinet and if it is approved by the cabinet then it will go on to parliament so really no way to know just how long exactly that process is going to take certainly i would expect that something that would frustrate the protesters here who keep hearing the same rhetoric from at the officials day after day week after week there will be reform concrete details will be given soon that hasn't happened of course you mentioned a substantial development earlier today united states government calling for new elections here in that office also that's coming on the heels of the statement from

the united nations assistance mission for iraq. they had put out a statement yesterday in which they made several proposals to try to end the crisis here in this country some of them being that all detainees protesters who've been detained should be released that anybody who participated in violence should be violent should be prosecuted and also that electoral reform should take place but again it's anybody's guess as to when exactly that's going to happen let me just tell you a little bit more about what we've seen here in tahrir square in the past hour and a half about an hour and a half ago we had several ambulances coming by there were around 70 injured protesters that were dropped off by these took took sort of transporting the injured into here's where they drop them off at this volunteer medic tent this just directly to the right of us they were coming from the north of us about 300 meters inland square which is where there have been several clashes taking place between security forces and protesters the last few days since then it has calmed down in

fact the mood has once again turned festive music is playing again in some parts of the square but it's really fluid things change hour by hour and there's really no way to tell if tonight will be get violence the way that the last few nights now has seen violence around to your square in areas where the protesters have tried to breach the concrete barriers that have been placed there by security forces so that they can't reach those bridges that get to other areas of the city where their government installations ok i will leave it there for now thank you for that update from baghdad's a state of emergency has been declared in the australian state of new south wales as firefighters battle wildfires authorities have warned of a catastrophic threats and people living on the outskirts of sydney are being urged to leave their homes and merge and see crews say high temperatures and strong winds are fueling the flames of these 3 people have died and thousands have been left homeless. on the catastrophic conditions the cyclist in you can do is not be in an

a closer look at china's involvement and pereo us the state owned china ocean shipping company or costco owns a controlling stake in the ports costco has increased pereo says container business 7 fold during the decade that it's been managing it in that time china has invested 2000000000 dollars and it plans to invest another $2000000000.00 over the next 5 years and here's why it's important so the institute for international and economic studies estimates that 10 percent of china's exports to europe go through that port off pereo us johnson rubble us has more from athens i think the greeks are largely optimistic and positive about china's involvement this is a country that as you know has been through a 25 percent contraction of its economy over the last decade more than a 1000000 jobs were lost it is. slowly beginning to crawl back into growth but that

growth is still weak this government was elected on a platform of doubling it at least 4 percent of g.d.p. china is being seen as key to those plans china is also interested in various sectors in the greek economy the port is extremely important as you said but also energy there are 16 bilateral agreements being signed today one of them involves a major new renewable energy installation on the island of crete another one involves an investment by another state owned chinese companies state grid which will be made to make very important grid connections between the mainland and the islands which will enable energy to flow both ways and there are other agreements that involve a 2 year development plan between the 2 countries the civil aviation authority the planning new slots and routes between china and greece that's key to bringing half a 1000000 chinese tourists to greece that is the stated goal of the greek
