europe the european commission has taken the 1st step in triggering disciplinary action against italy for breaking e.u. fiscal rules the dispute centers on the country's ballooning debt which is currently valued at 132 percent of the country's total economic output now that's more than double what's allowed by e.u. budget regulations. the european commission's message is loud and clear it's the end of the line for italy's believing public debt. we know is that there is a pause for recovery and growth really doesn't member states already taken it was a success so this boss told us that he knew would reform effort not spending more wins additional fiscal space to loose italy's current debt stands at 132 percent of annual g.d.p. in other words the country owes far more than the value of its entire economic

output under the rules member states aren't supposed to amass debt that exceed 60 percent of their annual g.d.p. . evenly has been ruled by a coalition of the league party and 5 star movement during the election they promise to end government cutbacks and boost social spending while reducing taxes in addition the government hopes to lower italy's retirement age the coalition says the measures will help kick start italy's sputtering economy and cut the country's unemployment particularly i don't even have a job the politicians before were fox is now the ones here will do nothing as well it's getting worse and worse it always seems to get worse. look i'm worried by many things to tell you the truth a little bit also. disciplinary procedures as well but they are only one of many things that have worried. critics say the program would likely cause italy's debt to grow even further and that's something the european commission is looking to

prevent. or police in the austrian capital vienna are facing criticism after several videos appeared on social media showing officers of violent detention of climate change for the videos show where you be a one sided incident where a man's head is shoved you see right there shoved under a car police are facing accusations of excessive force and of in danger in a man's life. brutal pictures they are social media editor or also here is here to talk of the stories or tell us more about the video so these videos have made the rounds on twitter over the last few days following the climate change protest in vienna last friday the 1st video that we saw. you can see a protester being beaten it's unclear why he's being beaten but the police have come out and said in the statement that they did use physical force. if if

demonstrators resisted arrest now probably the incident that has caused most of the uproar is the 2nd video where you can see a man being shoved under a police van the driver of the police then stops the vehicle and appears to be about to roll over his head before he is pulled away last minute by the arresting officer and all these officers are watching as this is going on so the discussion the discussion that's going on at the moment is whether the police not only endangered his life even deliberately. tortured him basically what has been the reaction to this on social media i mean there's been plenty of reaction we have we have the reaction from the protests to himself. i was under that his name is schindler he said go ahead and scream no one will believe you anyway that was what i was told by the officer who was twisting my arm i guess he

was wrong we'll have reaction from a berlin police officer who after studying this footage sided with the protesters he said this is in no way a mistake and that's awful what are the vienna police so you about so they 1st they came out saying that the media coverage of this of the demonstration was biased and especially about this incident with the man who ended up on a vehicle obviously then the video was released and then there now they have backtracked they have changed it shooting and they posted a tweet saying this video perspective shows a dangerous situation regardless of the criminal investigation that's already underway this incident will be included in the deployment tactics and mission training that are part of police evaluation of zenger situations or not admitting to doing wrong well they have one of the officers in question he has been taken off the streets and placed behind

a desk and they're also saying that's clarifying this incident has highest priority right it's a little ways thank you. are going to move to china now and there's fresh criticism over beijing's human rights record in hong kong when britain negotiated the conditions of the handover of its former colony to trying to back in 1970 the u.k. insisted that the right to assemble and protest had to be protected when you met up with 2 hong kong dissidents who have found asylum here in germany they say that china is steadily chipping away at those rights in hong kong. there the 1st time cong refugees to be granted asylum or a woman and ellen now feel safe in germany they were threatened with a prison sentence in the homeland for having taken part in an anti-government protest. is a very very set of things actually because i think no one wants to leave their home country and never go back. and. but anyway we were saying

riots one of their fellow companions was sentenced to 7 years in prison on the same charge but the 2 feel the punishment is disproportionate fearing what might happen the 2 fled to germany while on probation they lived in limbo for 6 months until germany granted them political asylum. i think the history of. that trip for me personally is quite encouraging because after i came to help with some. they told me that at chile when they were young they had never imagined is germany and west germany would be fine no need to unite at reunion again but somehow it's happened so. that those german told me don't lose my home because everything could happen both men hope for
