says about $600.00 have left so far after sunday's violence that led to the sound of officers have surrounded the campus and are arresting anyone who emerges but those under 18 of being released to their parents. we will use whatever means to continue to persuade and arrange for these remaining protesters to leave the campus as soon as possible so that this whole operation could be able to end in a peaceful manner and laid the basis for the subsequent work by the police to stop violence in hong kong or let's go live to sarah clarke our correspondent outside the university and sarah seemed to be seeing a huddle of people behind where you are what is the situation kerry saying $600.00 of less passible possibly $100.00 protesters remaining.

yes that's what she said indicated that there are still about $100.00 protesters inside the campus but the last hour or so we've seen at least 50 of those surrendered to police they've emerged and they're some of a small group behind me and others have been arrested already or sent down to the police vans and had their id checked and another group has actually gone in these ambulance and so we've seen some casualties injuries and as a result they having their health checked but certainly we do believe there's still a hard core group that still remain holed up inside that kerry lamb as you mentioned she's condemned the violence she's also question whether or not these particular protesters on this campus are even students but certainly another day of surrendering of these per protestors after overnight we had quite violent clashes between the police and those trying to escape polytechnic university this particular incident sara seems to have turned out to be the most prolonging the most serious confrontation between the protesters and the earth origins in hong kong. it certainly has i mean these things particular campus

started to be blocked up a blockade around friday and these protesters have emerged today who have surrendered said they're hungry they're tired and some obviously were injured but this this particular university campus was the last campus where protesters are created almost a retreat almost like a force where you were accused of creating a weapon factory and that's what police said when i found a huge number of petrol bombs and other devices that were being used against the police to keep them out by but certainly this is loss of quite a number of days and almost became the new battleground for these protesters mostly students and as carrie lamb said the 600 people have emerged and have been arrested about 200 of those were actually under the age of 18 sara for now thank you sara can't live in hong kong or china's parliaments also weighed in on a hong kong high court ruling that overturned a ban on protesters wearing face masks the national people's congress in beijing

says the territories courts have no power to consider such matters thomas has more from beijing. there's an irony here and that is that in beijing saying that only it has the power to interpret hong kong's constitution not the courts they are proving what the protesters have been saying ever since they 1st came out on the streets back in may and that is that this whole idea of one country 2 systems in the sensually a sham the power rests soley with beijing and the beijing intervenes at will and at a whim if it chooses to and that is exactly what beijing is doing here in most democracies of course there is a separation between the judiciary the executive and the legislative the courts have some power to interpret laws and make sure they comply with one another well beijing is saying that's not the case here that the power to interpret to change the constitution rests with the executive in hong kong which has its license from here in beijing now so far beijing hasn't really intervene directly in hong kong of

course it supported kerry laminates put out statements all the way through but soldiers have not taken to the streets with their uniforms on to put down the process this though is beijing asserting yet again where the real power lies in essentially hinting that if they want to become involved they can it is part of their domain they can choose to one country 2 systems well the one country trumps the 2 systems and that's what beijing is saying here a very clear signal yet again that beijing considers hong kong very much part of china and it can act and it will act as an industry. the pacific island nation of samoa has closed all schools and banned public gatherings as it struggles to contain a measles epidemic so far 6 people have died hundreds are in the hospital victoria gazin be reports. schools in simone capital apia normally full of students at this time of year but since the government declared

a formality. now the confederation of british industry's annual conference that's the c.b.i. doesn't usually attract a great deal of attention but this year it's turned out to be a major opportunity for u.k. election hopefuls to push their agenda it represents a mess 200000 u.k. businesses are varying sizes but it's express concern with all the main party's policies with bracks it on the horizon paul brennan reports. the c.b.i. his annual conference presents a vitally important shop window for the competing political leaders the chance to persuade these company owners and executives that they have the policies the vision and the capability to make the economy better prime minister johnson 1st at the podium with the prime minister boris johnson he had a pill for delegates to swallow next april's planned cuts in corporation tax has

been shelved but he sure did that hill by pledging to unlock the u.k.'s potential with investment in infrastructure education and technology i think this country needs a government that believes in business and understands the vital importance of wealth creation the need to support business and small family business cutting business rates having last week pledge to renationalise the u.k.'s broadband labor's jeremy corbyn was potentially on difficult ground here so he addressed the c.b.i. skills shortage concerns with a promise to create a 3rd of a 1000000 new apprenticeships and his vision of an economy based on equality it's not anti business to be against poverty. it's not anti business to say that the largest corporations should pay their taxes just a small companies do and it's not anti business to want prosperity in every part of our country and finally liberal democrat leader joe swinson describing her party as

the party of business largely because a live government would be committed to scrapping grex it altogether. frankly we have seen enough promise of reviews of business rates from the conservatives it is time for clear action that will give proper help to our small businesses in return the leaders were presented with the c.b.i. own manifesto urging taxation reform an immigration system based on contribution and ambitious targets to address skills shortages across british industry if we're to tackle the challenges of the country faces the climate crisis rescaling tackling rationing inequality that means business and government come together that is the only way we will actually do it while the c.b.i. is gravely worried that a conservative majority in december's election could still lead to a no deal breaks it it also has fears that a brightest and best immigration policy could end up being unbalanced for the economy and it has concerns too that labor's plans to renationalise certain parts

of industry could end up having a chilling effect on investment so no single party will leave this conference with a political endorsement but the very chance simply to lay out their sales pitch is reason enough to be here paul brennan al-jazeera at the c.b.i. conference in greenwich. time is they can look at the top stories hear it out as they are the u.s. has abandoned its longstanding position on the israeli settlements in the occupied west bank saying it will no longer consider them a legal secretary of state might pompei or says the construction of civilian settlements is not inconsistent with international law palestine's president condemned the move but it's been welcomed by israel's prime minister who said it rights and historical role says he'll leave the sages of the west bank to israelis

and palestinians to negotiate. calling the establish of civilian settlements inconsistent with international law hasn't worked it hasn't invents the cause of peace the hard truth is there will never be a judicial resolution to the conflict in arguments about who is right or wrong as a matter of international law will not bring peace this is a complex political problem that can only be solved by negotiations between the israelis and the palestinians hong kong v to carry law misogynists protest is still holed up inside a university campus to leave peacefully she says about 600 already left so far after sunday night's violence that led to the standoff officers have surrounded the campus and arresting anyone who emerges but those who are under 18 are being released to their parents we will use whatever means to continue to persuade to enter arrange for the remaining protesters to leave the campus as soon as possible
