from entering the capital. despite this the presidency minister hid his who said deals with mass party members and other. their morale is supporters from cocoa farmers to miners were reached days ago the name of. the we have already signed agreements on all the demands they are making and we agreed to those demands . one of those demands was for the interim government to decree that gives the military and police the green light to shoot with impunity as part of the talks the government wants all the world lifted around the country as they have cost of food and fuel shortages. the political uncertainty is the dominant topic for many residents in the new elections will bring change. we will be happy because there will be new candidates we want to new constitution no more corrupt officials a total change. but others say the interim government went too far in the crackdown

on the protests and the damage is done. there would have been dialogue of people hadn't been killed with people the disappeared timed but above all we cannot have talks having brothers deed while the interim government hopes new elections will bring calm many are doubtful this will be enough without 1st making sure those responsible for the deaths of protesters are brought to justice by innocent as i just believe. it has been another day of unrest and demonstrations of people saying no to protest against the government of president. they've. spent 10 years demonstrations in various parts parts of town throughout the day the main event was happening just a couple of blocks from here and central the lever for have gathered there

thousands of people gathered there peacefully when all of a sudden the police decided to move in using tear gas and rubber bullets through the. 1st the crowd clashing patience continued until the evening people are out and i hate being on pots and pans to continue their approach however the mayor announces a total curfew in the city starting and 9 pm also the president of colombia. spoke saying that he will start a national conversation next week to try to deal with this arrest while leader of one of the leaders of the opposition group called for a major massive rally he said next monday people are telling us that they feel energized and that they're angry for what they considered

a very violent response some parts of the police and say that they want to continue protesting in the coming weeks just as other people have been doing in other countries across south america for now more than a month. now let's turn our attention to chile zeroes latin america and it's sad to see and human looks at the situation that politicians have agreed on a roadmap that could lead to a new constitution. people are have been particularly angry by an unfortunate comment made by a a police general he said he was referring to a pellet guns that have been left at least 220 people injured in their eyes some people have lost one or both eyes. and for a long time the government had been arguing that they were only made of rubber now it's been discovered that indeed they had lead and other elements inside of them and so as of today the use of these pilots was supposed to have been suspended in

case unless rather there was danger imminent danger of life and there are also other types of violence that have been worrying a lot of the people even some of the of the peaceful protesters for example a mole was burned down after it was looted on thursday here in the city of concepcion a similar thing happen even an ambulance was burnt down so there is a kind of a sense of chaos that the government despite the fact that it says that things are getting better still does not have this country under control by any means. for most 0 still to come on the program a chinese national and australia says that he was a spy for beijing and his tongue on his government. it's almost election day in guinea bissau out as the president goes up against challenges that include former prime ministers who become his rivals. and in sport we'll hear from the outspoken manager who is making his return to football's frontline.

iraq's parliament is preparing to discuss a new electoral reform bill politicians are hoping that this will calm protests that have been raging now for weeks security forces opened fire on demonstrators on friday at least 4 people are reported to have been killed but the government denies that more than 300 people have been killed since the protests began in october this anger over corruption high unemployment and poor public services office and his mom . jump june joins us now via from baghdad what's the latest on that. well adrian we were expecting that a parliamentary session would begin at this hour now we are told by far the ministry sources that it is going to be good but here's where it gets confusing because now we are told that an agenda has not actually been agreed upon as to what will be discussed today and leading up to today it was expected actually it had been announced that parliament was going to do its 2nd reading of lifestyle a total of reform law today and that that would set the path for potentially

a vote on this electoral reform law that's been much discussed in the next few days but now it's unclear if that actually is going to happen frankly that's not really that surprising because oftentimes in the past couple of weeks parliament has said it's going to take up this use that it hasn't for one reason or another another reason it gets confusing is because even though there's been a lot of talk about this electoral reform law it's still quite vague as to what exactly it will entailed other than potentially making the electoral commission here more representative of the population as a whole all that being said though when you speak to the the people that continue to come out day after day to your square which where we are which is the epicenter of the anti-government demonstrations here in baghdad they say that they don't trust the parliament is actually going to make these reforms even if they pass a law they don't believe that these reforms are going to make a difference today and they do not believe that parliament is taking their demands seriously and they say they want more than just electoral reform they don't know

exactly what electoral reform means they want a complete overhaul of the political system here in iraq and that's going to take much more than just electoral reform so once again we get to a point where we expect the government is going to be making announcements or potentially voting on laws that they have been talking about and then we get to the hour when it is supposed to happen and it's unclear if it actually will happen and when you then relay that information to. the people here at the rear square well frankly they shrug their shoulders and as they've told me the past hour they say look we didn't expect it was going to happen and even if it did happen i don't believe it's going to make an impact on them and that's why they say they're doing we're going to continue to come out day after day to try to demand more from this government and sure a better future for it and adrian beltre serious reporting live there from baghdad back to the many thanks indeed hong kong has to hold local elections on sunday after 6 months of unrest the election is seen as

a test for chief executive kerry lam some of the most violent confrontations between police and protesters happened last week and those protests are having a big impact on the territories economy with businesses now choosing sides bride reports. this elections not only a battle at the ballot box but also with the cash registers. in this polarized society months of unrest have changed how people spend. this restaurant has a so-called yellow ribbon business opposed to the government and at lunch times it's overflowing with pro-democracy customers. this chain of tea shops also publicizes its pro-democracy views giving people the chance to express them as with each visit student kyle learn only spends his money in places that support the protest movement my friends are very aware of which rap restaurants we go to we

shall be going to yeah but yes we were very conscious about that i'm not quite sure about it if fact but we're trying to do what we can do at the moment you know to just to help with the situation to like express our demands in this highly charged atmosphere expressing your political views can invite attack. and much has been directed against businesses with links to mainland china. so-called blue ribbon businesses those that are seen as supporting the government or the police have borne the brunt of protesters anger the promise stablished one camp says it's contributed to hong kong slipping into recession and that the slump will continue as long as the unrest goes on. campaigning to keep his seat as a pro establishment district councillor common fung has experienced that anger firsthand. his party's office has been ransacked. and he wears

a stab proof vest below his shirt when he's campaigning really sad. just about 6 months ago. the economic was good but we still have good. but nowadays people lost all their hopes we just don't know how the next step we don't know how to stop the violence how to stop the tempting. whatever the results of sunday's election the underlying causes of hong kong's unrest alike come to remain and businesses will have to navigate through an economic fallout. a self-confessed chinese spy in australia says that he's offered a truce of intelligence information langley chang says that he's turned against beijing and revealed the identities of senior chinese military intelligence officers on kong he's also provided details on how beijing's operatives fund and

conduct interference operations in hong kong taiwan and australia wang is now seeking asylum and says he could face the death penalty if he returns to china will study his government has not yet indicated whether it will grant him asylum well these are very disturbing reports the matter is now in the hands of the appropriate law enforcement agencies and so i wouldn't comment on the particulars of individual cases but what i would say that the government makes no apologies for the strong measures that we have taken to ensure. that we have foreign interference in place that we have. law enforcement intelligence agencies like never before and that will stand up for our national interest with us on matters of foreign policy foreign investment or other related issues. mackenzie is an investigative journalist at the age and the sydney morning herald he was he's spoken to what where he joins us now live from melbourne good to have you with us nick who is this guy how valuable was

the information but he's provided by his fears that it's extremely valuable the world for some time intelligence agencies. southwest's have written a lot about how they suspect chinese intelligence operates chinese interference operates in vices like a strong arm kong taiwan and elsewhere but to have an insider's account somebody who says this is what i did this is what i saw this is what i heard and this is have a system operates and this is how we undermine the independence movement in hong kong is how election annulled in taiwan is of course extremely valuable this is all code more stuff isn't it how is china able to recruit ethnic chinese to spy for it in these these places where we know that the chinese government has one of the biggest intelligence apparatus in the world in this case the intelligence

operative was working in according to his account the whole call from company it was the company now it has links to the chinese military similar things so a quite easily publicly found using that cover is a home grown businessmen and he conducted various operations. involved in the kidnap one of the causeway by book shop. this is where 5 booksellers were disappeared to the mainland one claims he had been in the kidnapping of one of these. 2 mation to get that tape. just simply one of them fairly stunning revelations he's made to us and. how many more like him other especially in australia itself. well astronomy is at the tip of the spear in some respects in the western world. in respect to the issue of china's government

foreign interference and he says points that are being given by a strat in government or far east who know about these issues is that is not unusual there are not many people like him following the orders of the chinese government in astronomy and elsewhere and guys in serious acts of foreign interference that's not a sign of course the vast majority of trying to destroy insurrection absolutely wonderful law abiding citizens there is of course the significant if it being taken by the chinese communist party in our must make a distinction between its course the chinese population the chinese communist party in astronomy is engaged in serious acts of foreign interference our government has recently passed new security laws i think it is acts it's fair to say our security agencies are slowly beginning to try to force those laws at the moment while on the outside as it is the chinese government is acting really with impunity in australia and elsewhere effective there's not been one single prosecution of

a chinese spy in australia suggesting 90 rus as we said a stern is government has not yet indicated whether it will grant him asylum should he be given asylum. well in. its early days yet obviously an ace story has been public in a matter of hours very senior a struggle and pay the chair of the. committee on security and intelligence andrew has the end pay as council would and city should be granted a solomon protection i suspect to be joined by other senior politicians industry every indication we have is that the israeli government believes this story to be credible the intelligence he's sharing to be useful it's going to be shared amongst the intelligence network and of course what he's done is put. himself at rest of his life he can go back to hong kong he certainly conquered back to ease to the

mainland where he was born chinese mainland really well would expect to be getting a protection perhaps residency sometime in the future why did he go public make. he says he went public because having conducted 5 years of. operations it was given a mission to travel to taiwan folks great cost but we've seen the passport we've seen the false as he was given to went to taiwan the orders he was given. to middle in the tower these 2020 presidential election it already committed significant act according to him self election that ring in the in the previous regional elections in taiwan now but this makes the standard for him with a lot of the senate as i watched that industry as a young child an example to australia this year imagine decision he would call it did not want to undergo are the next mission 8 been given and so has been hiding

out in sydney it has since i guess more broadly he according to him has had across as a conscience he is tired of serving a regime me no longer believes in he said the chinese government is not engage in acts that he believes are improper and he no longer wants to help them through their cause so he's come to australia he says he's embracing democracy and he's wishing and security protection could talk to nick many thanks indeed nick mckenzie there from the age and sydney morning herald thank you let's take you back now to hong kong where of course local elections are due to be held due to get under way in a few hours now soon as mark mcbride who's report resource few moments ago is with us now live from hong kong the city seems relatively calm in the last 2436 hours or so rob what's been happening.

a lot of the talk on social media when you would normally expect protesters to be agitating and telling each other to meet at different locations a lot of the chatter has been about. of course of many voters are voting for the 1st time all of that. we're living through here in hong kong has made thousands of people especially young people register for the 1st time so a lot of the chatter has been about how you the importance of each and every vote that will be cast and this is seen as a referendum on that the current government's handling of this whole crisis and the relationship with not to ruin their ballots not to crumple the corners or have any other smudges which would invalidate your ballot as polls i think we've we've lost from abroad from hong kong that rob and he thanks a deal and move on next up here on the evidence going to weather forecast for us
