6. the at. the back of. this news coming to you live from berlin india is off to the moon as the chandrayaan 2 rocket successfully lifts off to. beat. the uk the land spacecraft is heading for the dark side of the moon to perform a soft landing of the rule book vehicle that would see india becoming just the 4th nation to land to probe on the 2 that surfaced. coming up another weekend of antigovernment protests in hong kong ends in violence police fired tear gas and

drug addicts to disperse thousands of demonstrators and as for testers seek refuge in a train station attacked by photogs to beat a gang member but. the tabby cat. and another big win for ukraine's president exit polls give voice to music and peace party a commanding lead after sunday's fundamentally elections and possibly absolute majority that he's hoping for. one of a warm welcome to you i'm cheema india has successfully launched an unmanned spacecraft to the far side of the mon the children on 2 took off from the satish dove in space center to cheer on some tauzin on lookers. the launch had been delayed

a week due to a technical glitch the children gone to carries an orbiter land and roomba if you travel for 2 months before the land victim touches down on the moon selfishness and explode a robotic robot trying to get on with then spend 14 days collecting a mineral and chemical sample insulin and assist the mission is a major step for india's efforts to become a space superpower up to now only the united states russia and china have landed spacecraft on the middle of the. journey now from delhi is dr gish that he believed ajah palin she's the head of the nuclear and space policy initiative at the observer research foundation that's a think tank based in the indian kapatid welcome not a big moment for india and its space program what did you feel when you thought somebody on to lift off today now i think this is an exciting moment not just for the indian space for such organization india as

a whole but also for the whole world this is become such a prestigious moment because there has been a global attention ever since u.s. person came into office he talked about going back to the moon there have been other countries such as india russia china japan who have been trying to go back to the old the more. china has undertaken couple of impressive my shows there it landed on the far side of the morning earlier this year and in the beginning in june january 2 years ago it landed on the u.s. side of the border so there have been quite a bit of attention even to respect to the more and more missions but also broader outer space so has seen quite a bit of research as better she vent could be that expect the actual landing to take place and what are the trickiest parts of this mission. so the landing itself is going to take place about $45.00 days from now so on this september 1st speaks up to the 6th or 7th. to do the. actually.

belonged there and then you have the trickiest of the $10.00 off the bar then it can actually into the earth do not operate and i think that's going to be the laws to keep part of the old mission this was a tricky mission the 1st. separates from the from the rocket so that this happened now it can be popped and be what he called the odd spotting on. a couple of men who was part of for the next few weeks and before it gets on to the lunar orbit and i think that's going to be the next. mission that is the major milestone for the mission in a sense and of course landing the soft landing because even the landing is good because even the landing that plane sped to land will be decided only of moments before it's actually. landing so it's a very complex and very difficult mission and this is the most complex mission that

india has undertaken. landing on and on to there's still so phased so it's a big deal for india a comic genius again and of history just how significant is a success for your inch fall in this case program it seems at this time within a significant doing of this mission that is something that has been a particularly attractive about the space was such a message and you so has had a sizable number of women scientists who have led various projects and in this regard to both the mission that a. mission that. oh it seems received to have lost our connection to delhi we were listening to a largish very privileged rajagopal ahead of the nuclear and space policy initiative at the observer research foundation a think tank in delhi and she was sharing some of the excitement which is being felt in india about the successful launch of the chandrayaan 2 which is headed off

and lifted off towards the morning making in the only the 4th country in the world to attempt a landing on the lunar surface ok let's i had to hong kong a 7 straight weekend of antigovernment protests has descended into violence the demonstrations began a peaceful years tens of thousands demonstrated against an unpopular extradition bill they fear will erode the city's autonomy as protest is headed for the office of china's communist party police fired on them with drug of bullets and tear gas and a new development suspected gang members attacked demonstrators. it was a vicious assault gangs of men all dressed in white attacking anti-government protesters on their way home from another huge demonstration. the brutal attack was life streamed on social media showing journalists as well as protesters being beaten as

the men rampage through a subway station and onto trains. and i saw somebody bleeding all over the floor in front of me i tried to drag him away but they wouldn't let me where i had all sorts of weapons and i came over and attacked me to. an opposition lawmaker who was injured blamed pro china triad gangsters some of the men were reportedly seen speeding from the scene in cars with mainland chinese number plates as the dozens of injured received treatment police finally arrived on the scene and work used by witnesses of taking over an hour to get that despite frantic calls for help so far no. recipe maint on monday home cons probation leader carried out condemned the attack we absolutely do not hold of that sort of violence. at our level the latest theory to date but rules is not a solution to any problem above the slowly increasing more volatile. but

other approach china nor makers focused back on the nation on the anti-government protesters who threw eggs and paint at china's hong kong liaison office. once again protesters clashed with police well into the night. such and it should be severely condemned and i think these reporters who look almost all these who focus you actually watch who she was the don't make the relationship between so talk of the woman and hold but it is the closeness of that relationship that pro-democracy protesters are worried about their concerns have expanded beyond the controversial extradition bell as fears grow that democratic freedoms are being eroded fears that will only be stoked by the apparent intervention of pro china gangsters. joining me now is do a phoebe kong for the resource of a disturbing images of masked men beating up protestors do we know who they are.

yes do it clear that what their exact identities are given that there is no one addressed this so far until now and the police chief said during that last briefing just now saying that they are still investigating the case and they provide no further details because during this expresso we're not clear about the sad end it is all the mosque. there are skeptics suggesting that they may be related to gangs or even try society in june long because that is a place where the gangs often get very often so also a probation lawmaker is suspected to be related to these men's because he because he appears by and get in touch with those mosque men right before the attack so there is no further details but i think we have to wait for the investigation of the police and to everything with getting clearer and to watch what demands of the

activists making now and who their protests directed at hong kong's leaders directly had been. what some of them do turn to beijing as to target off the demonstrations us we have seen some of them they demonstrated in front of the beijing liaison office in pa in hong kong they expressing their anger to worse the longstanding interference into hong kong domestic affairs so this is one of the target but the majority of the protesters and also from home people then now more angry with the the handling of the hong kong government and the hong kong police force and with how they handled the clashes over the past few weeks especially last night so this is the main reason which take at the ngo off the hong kong people that is to they are asking for hong kong a top leadership to take her responsibility and to step down to be responsible for

. responsible for all the clashes and all the controversies happening over the past few weeks. in hong kong thank you very much for that update from there. let me about not being young it's a monasteries making news around the world israeli forces have begun demolishing palestinian homes outside east jerusalem residents were forcibly evicted after a deadline expired for them to remove the buildings israel says the illegal and too close to the barrier separating israel and the palestinians palestinians accuse israel of using security as a pretext to force them out. britain's prime minister to resign me is to chair a for the session of the government's emergency committee to decide on new sanctions against iran after the seizure of the british flagged oil tanker stana and. iran claims the ship failed to respond to distress calls after hitting a fishing boat. the united states' east coast and midwest are struggling to deal

with a severe heat wave that's led to at least 6 deaths around 95000000 people warning for advice or. 36 degrees celsius. now to ukraine where president. looks to be on course to win an outright majority following sunday's spawn of entry elections if confirmed the result would be the best any party has achieved in the. history of course nap elections after his landslide presidential been in april because parliament was dominated by his opponents he said a parliamentary majority would help support his promise to forms and his fight against corruption. joins you from the ukrainian capital and nick the latest projections show that went off the people party may exceed expectations and get

a majority in parliament how's it looking. yes. 3. people policy with just over 50 percent of the votes counted look set to gain the absolute majority yes the evening it didn't seem possible it seemed like they would need a coalition partner but that may no longer be the case this is more support than any other ukrainian president has had before him so a real power base was going into his presidency now the other parties are all significantly behind his party the nearest 2nd place is on just of the 12 percent that is a party run by someone who is a personal friend of an indication of how far the support for openly. in this country you have a former prime minister. president. is politics.

the country's most famous rock musician who has squeezed past 5 percent threshold to bring his party voice into the parliament so this. is a let's get to really drive home as advantage was seeming to be paying out to have really worked out very well for the new person so you should make it seems alinsky is political damage of course not elections has paid off but after the lead them protests a few years ago there was also a big push for change what is different this time with this president and this election. i think. rise to the presidency now has domination of ukraine's politics is partly to be explained by disappointment people were expecting things to change faster after the vote is great for the way they banked the improvements that definitely happened and. the fact that the police people no longer fear the police that low level police corruption has disappeared largely the fact that journalists are free to go about their work and to investigate the powerful that basically is now taking as

a given and people angry that standards of living have not improved faster that the social situation isn't better they look enviously to countries like poland which used to be on a similar economic level to ukraine and if now move beyond with hundreds of thousands ukrainians going to poland to work there's a real disappointment a hunger for quick change and in the east the country people want to especially a quick resolution to the conflict so that disappointment and desire for fresh faces a rejection of the previous political. explains why selenski has been able to capitalize so successfully on those feelings so that he may now have the man that he wants to do what he's promised in terms of foreign policy nic what can we expect. was a lengthy put in resolving that conflict at the heart of his presidency it was basically the centerpiece of his inauguration speech and in his election campaign he really struck a slightly more conciliatory tone towards moscow than had his predecessor. now face

he has become a little hard in that position because he is realizing that resolving that conflict will involve anything because it is the kremlin that in the end that pulls the strings in those separatists regions there and ukraine doesn't seem willing to let him really offer up too many goodies as it were to the kremlin too many big concessions so despite that strong showing which puts him in a strong position and shows his support in the country i'm not sure we're going to see really a quick with russia there's a. concerts here in the country that that was. the right thing to do and that those changes are not to be repealed and i think we're going to see a kind of uneasy standoff with this younger president selenski trying to get some sort of concessions out of him if and maybe not seeing results as quickly as he would hope nikolay in kiff that you very much.

not a fortune are there some 2005 backing huge blazes and the montanists center of region is the same area that was devastated by wildfires just 2 years ago 75 civilians have been injured. wildfires whipped by strong winds in gulf in forests and encroaching on villages a familiar scene for people living in portugal's castello branker region. wildfires can be deadly because they happen so quickly it was no maneuver i never thought this would happen today it was also quiet yesterday and this morning i don't know how i don't understand how suddenly there were no means to avoid the situation i just don't understand how i'm not. around the world while fires are becoming more intense and while fire season is longer key to climate change but because of better precautions since the deadly fires in 2017 no one has died in portugal in the last 2 years but there have been injuries especially amongst the firefighters.

police have arrested a 55 year old man in castello branco who suspected of starting a fire on the outskirts of town it's hard to control a fire in such difficult terrain although the winds have died down the fire remains uncontained. the group's doctors without borders an s.o.s. mediterranea have restarted minder rescue efforts in the mediterranean with a new vessel the norwegian flagship ocean viking which conducts search and rescue operations off the coast of libya it's approved with a medical clinic and has the capacity to take in about 200 refugees the aid groups favorites rescue ship they crevasse have to seize operations last december because of what they say was obstruction by several european. and later today diplomats really meeting in bass to discuss how refugees rescued from the mediterranean should be distributed throughout the block but the sea is not the

only migration route thousands are still attempting to reach europe by land this is jewish and especially critical along the bosnia croatia border the many overcrowded camps facing an uncertain and bleak future we have this report from one of those camps. the border with the european union can be seen from the mountain ridge next to defer check refugee camp the site was 1st set up in the middle of june on a form of garbage dump. between 450 and 700 migrants live in tents here they're all men 10 kilometers away in the city of b. hatch there are 2 other refugee camps for families with nearly 5000 inhabitants they're already overcrowded that's why about 100 more people arrive in every day is courted by both new police. the local red cross accommodates the people here as best they can aided by donations from the turkish red crescent the government in sarajevo however seems to be ignoring the growing problem. there are

often drinking water shortages and since there are only 2 shower and toilet facilities disease spreads quickly especially scabies very bad. there is no electricity do lunch or dinner everything is no very bad but if you are living like any mother the 1st aid tent lacks sufficient supplies and there isn't enough medicine volunteers such as a german journalist planet an austrian doctor carin char a fair provide health care since the beginning of the refugee crisis in 2015 they've been helping in refugee camps throughout the balkans but even dr schauer affair has never seen a camp quite like this one. become an off and i can you put people on a garbage dump it's so disrespectful there's no other way of putting it it's and human than this this but planet says he thinks he knows why the behalf city

government chose a former landfill site for a refugee camp. site belongs to the city when i asked why does it have to be a garbage dump and they said they don't have to pay rent here that's why you know but i think it's logical that they just want to make it as unpleasant as possible for the refugees here so that they'll leave. it's again and that's exactly what they're trying to do day after day secretly crossing the border nearby into croatia but many are caught there by creation police and forced back to both sometimes violently this is what some of the migrants report once they return to camp believe . me they're to be. here to be. to. be. everything.

now europe sees itself confronted with a massive humanitarian emergency not only in the mediterranean but also on the nearly forgotten balkan roots. 5 people a day that's the average number killed by police since. the drug war at the start of the most of the deaths take place in the city slums. but now victims taking tourist areas to protest against excessive police actions that are leaving innocent civilians dead. the 1st bullets only hit this tree but the next one flew further tichina leads us past the tree to a spot behind her house where her husband and 2 friends were shot and killed by the police 8 weeks ago traces of their blood are here according to witnesses they were ambushed and shot in the back no one knows why the victims were not armed. i was at

work when it happened and thank god for that because if i had been here i might have tried to protect my husband if i did that i would have been dead now a lot of interests there couple that are more helpful my police killing innocent citizens has become an everyday occurrence in the slums of rio de janeiro since the police launched a new anti drugs offensive at the beginning of 29000 they've killed an average of 5 people a day teaching is husband ricardo was 29 years old and she insists he was not a drug dealer since his death she hasn't been able to continue her work as a nurse because now she's a single mother of 2 she says the government is committing genocide policeman hold a gun in your face in anyone's face workers or children and if you were unlucky they just shoot you down the government is to blame president ball sonar and governor who's completely out of his mind. rio's new governor wilson vessel is

police officers die as well and they see themselves as victims poorly trained and used as pawns in a civil war between the government and heavily armed criminal organizations violence will not solve our problems says the police union. it would be better if the police focused their energy on investigations on background checks rather than on a policy of pure confrontation but this is the opposite of president also nars view he prefers confrontation. life in the favelas is a life between fronts in a battle people like to chew nya have no way of escaping the war between the government and the drug lords. finally an item of sports newest filipino boxer manny pacquiao who has become the oldest welterweight champion in history at the age of 40 he beach w w b a champion keats turman on points in las vegas
