joshua ones says the u.s. has shown it will prioritize human rights over business. for you as president sign on the hong kong human rights and democracy act that's the remarkable achievement of all the hong kong is no matter a democrat or republican is the new bipartisan consensus from both the us administration and the congress is to stand up hong kong to pirate heis human rights and democracy and not being overrun by the trade negotiation all right let's go live now to sarah clarke our correspondent in hong kong we heard from just a long land presumably the rest of the pro-democracy movement will be cheering and applauding the action of president trump. certainly mottainai the pro-democracy movement and the protest movement in hong kong are embracing the describing it as a victory for certainly their message of the anti-government movement which is being a kind of causing mass protests across the city for more than 6 months whereas the

hong kong government has responded angrily and it's a message that's replicated in china the hong kong government has strongly objected to the act becoming us law deeply regrets this decision by donald trump to sign this act they said that the united states disregards genuine concerns the genuine concerns raised by hong kong and i certainly say that the u.s. is not interfering in hong kong's affairs the words they've used is unnecessary and wanted and would harm relations between hong kong and the united states they're also saying that it sends a wrong message the wrong message to the protest movement and people they're describing as violent protests now on thursday we have another rally being held in central hong kong and this rally is a protest that's being called the thanksgiving rally and of course so this is all about the hong kong human rights and democracy act in the fact that this has been signed on the day of this rally will no doubt attract bigger numbers for this this assembly and meanwhile the remnants of what perhaps was the most sustained

challenge against the author it is in hong kong. university campus the search is going on there presumably the security forces old the authorities at least looking for evidence that could be used against those who are to be charged. yes montane a good number of people yesterday which is a wednesday teams from the university went in to look for the last of the protesters the people thought was still holed up inside after about almost 2 weeks they found no one so on thursday the government and police teams have gone in on a search of their own but of course as you mentioned this search is looking for evidence that is petrol bombs any devices that may have been created or produced and used as weapons against the police for this siege that as i mentioned went on for quite a period of time and of course this evidence will be collected and it will be used in the investigation certainly against those protesters who are charged on the

exits from that campus now around $1100.00 people left that campus have left that campus those under the age of 18 considered minors and they won't be charged but those over the age of 18 could be charged with driving which in turn is quite a heavy penalty all right sara thanks for that sara cloud clear live in hong kong. iran is demanding firm action from the iraqi government after an attack on its consulate in the city of najaf antigovernment protests is torched the building they accuse terror of supporting the iraqi government who they say have been. they've been railing against for 2 months victoria gave him the reports. was hundreds of anti-government protesters stormed the compound that the iranian consulate in the jaffa $55.00 to tie up and blankets and replacing the iranian flag with an iraqi one was analysts say the symbolic importance of the attack in a shia majority city cannot be understated this is the city where the ayatollah

khomeini used to live it's considered to be you know the heart of the shia muslim world and iran thought that it had the population the iraqi shia population on its side in terms of its you know regional policies clearly that's not the case. protesters say rand is exerting to much power in iraq they want the iraqi government to take action to limit it was it's the 2nd time this month that in a rainy and consulate has been targeted by iraqi protest as 3 weeks ago security forces killed to demonstrate is in the city of copula. both attacks feed into the why to anti-government protest movement that the gulf to iraq since october so it's unclear you know what options the government in iran has in response to these protests i don't think they have very good options in

a so i suspect right now there is deep panic and paranoia in tehran over what happened today in niger. the challenge for iran is how to respond without alienating the shia community upon which its provide to expand its regional influence victoria gate and be. arman go live to our correspondent mohammed jammed in his in the iraqi capital baghdad as a bit of a quandary a bit of a dilemma then for the iraqi government they are going to have to deal with this issue because this is not the 1st time that iranian assets have been targeted in iraq. you're absolutely right martin you have the attack that happened last night and i really can't stress enough just how significant it was that this took place especially in the holy city of najaf but then you also have an attack that happened as victoria mentioned in her report earlier this month that happened in court about also against an iranian installation the iranian consulate in a shia majority city

a city considered holy by the shia so really this is going to show what we've heard again and again from protesters here they are tired of the outsized influence of iran in their politics clearly this is worrying iran but also it's very much worrying the shiite led government here in a tough when you look at what's been going on here when you see how the parliament has been trying to reconcile the demands of the protesters with these efforts to try to mollify them by attempting to pass let's say electoral reform that is not doing anything to mollify the protesters time and again you go out you speak to the protesters in baghdad you hear from protesters in other provinces and they say that the government here is ineffective and they want to complete overhaul of the political system and one of the things they want to see is an into the influence of not just eat on but they want to see an end of the influence by the united states and into the influence by saudi arabia by other countries that are allies of it up

this is a problem that is going to continue to persist in the fact that you have these protesters last night this fight the threat of reprisals despite how unsafe it might have been going actually attacking the compound actually burning the consulate building that is a major escalation let me just read to you one sentence from the statement that was issued by the iranian government in which they condemned this attack they said the government is responsible to secure safety excuse me of diplomatic missions and diplomats in there it up to her own strongly condemns the attack and demands of their off the government's firm response to the aggressor so now we're going to have to see exactly what is going to do in response doesn't thank you very much mohammed jammed in there live in baghdad. now to kenya where government recovery efforts have been stretched beyond their limits by the devastating flooding and landslides so people have been left to dig in the months

education can see it but perhaps. the president's response has mostly been to discredit and criminalize the demonstrations well playing lip service to their constitutional right to protest. we are living moments of great demand in society but let's be clear the arsonists will not win was violence what they did will not have. at the polls. in recent days riot police have used tear gas and stun grenades to disperse the mostly peaceful crowds one teenager died after being hit by a gas canister yet rallies continued i know the protests here haven't reached the kind that see that frenzy that we've seen in chile or bolivia or ecuador in past. they are going to have to. face the police think so. many believe it's here to. guess and i think colombia's going through

a political transition where the peace the international contest and a new generation are all playing a role where we don't know yet is where we're going with it. while it's unclear what they were achieved these protesters believe the time was come to confront many political challenges that have been postponed for way too long i listen to n.p.r. just. mexico has accused donald trump of interventionism after he announced plans to designate drug cartels as terrorist groups the move is designed to disrupt their finances and impose travel bans on their leaders but there were warnings the plan will end up backfiring unofficial reports from mexico city. the death of 9 americans in a cartel ambush earlier this month sparked widespread outrage for the victims 3 women 6 children were traveling through a remote area in northern mexico when they went to tact jule u.s. mexican citizens the family the labatt ins demanded the white house days ignorant

mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations you're going to do a telephone interview with a right wing talk host president donald trump said that process is underway i've been working on that for the last 90 days you know designation is not that easy i'll go through a process. mexico's drug cartels are huge operations we control large chunks of the country and they're involved in drug trafficking assassinations kidnapping and political corruption being designated a terrorist organization by america means it becomes illegal for anyone to knowingly support the groups if banks realize they handle any cartel funds they must block the money under and form the government a new members are banned from entering the u.s. and so taking this move while it might benefit the president in the united states and it might make people feel righteous and justified in satisfied here that we're taking stronger steps alternately may make it harder to do business with the mexicans and we need to be a team with them in order to get this problem solved mexico's policy on fighting

the cartels has changed under the new president and this man well the door has been in office almost exactly a year he believes in hugs not bullets and that social conditions need to change to make the cartels less economically powerful a good bit as young see cooperation yes in interventionism no but one expert says if the u.s. president follows through on his threat to clear out the cartels and uses military action there could be significant mexican backlash with this they do a side he can stay in mexico on organize who are one attack or something against the mexican cartels in mexico soil and this is the problem because 'd mexico is a nationalist in that because of their country and that's it any difference of that the mexican government has had donald trump make threats like this before remember

when he threatened to close down the entire border and then backed away they will of course start making plans but they're hoping that the white house will back away from what many people here see as a dangerous and dramatic overreaction alan fischer al-jazeera mexico city. now plans are overhauling mining laws in bougainville could completely complicate the progress towards independence from papua new guinea the region's vice president says hill redistribute copper and gold mining rights and that would thereby it raise stakes currently held by the papua new guinea and government and the former operator a 60 percent share would go to bergen ville with the rest of a the ball to investors the move could affect the kosi asians after the independence vote polling began last saturday and ends on december 7th the southeast asian games start in the philippines on saturday but the organizers are facing complaints that athletes have been forced to sleep on the floor and go
