killed it is all to the world as a child really until the rocket successfully lifts off the ondemand spacecraft is heading to satellite on a mission that could see india become difficult mission to land a profile on the lunar surface. i don't know the big win for your prince president exit polls give of all degrees a lead ski staci a commanding lead off to sunday's parliamentary elections and possibly the absolute majority he was hoping told. how to welcome good to have your company. in hong kong the 7th straight weekend of anti-government protests has descended into violence the demonstrations began peacefully as tens of thousands demonstrated against an unpopular extradition bill they fear will erode the city's autonomy as for testers headed for the office of
1:02 pm
china's communist party police fired on them would rubber bullets and tear gas and in a new development suspected gang members attacked the 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. was the way i saw somebody bleeding all over the floor in front of me i tried to drag him away but they wouldn't let me quit had all sorts of weapons and i came over and attacked me to. an opposition lawmaker he was injured claims triad gangsters suggesting the shadowy criminal network was intervening in support of the
1:03 pm
chinese government. as the dozens of injured received treatment police finally arrived on the scene and what used by witnesses of taking more than an hour to get there despite frantic calls for help so far no arrests have been made on monday on holmes probation leader kerry now condemned the attack we absolutely do not indulge that sort of violence and i would let him make his fear if it bubbles up it's not a solution to any problem above that this will only bring more followers. 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 provocative pictures or 2 shoes the don't make the relationship between so talk of
1:04 pm
the let that hold hold but it is the closeness of that relationship that pro-democracy protesters are worried about that concerns have expanded beyond the controversial extradition bill as fears grow that democratic freedoms are being eroded fears that will only be stoked by the unchecked intervention of suspected criminal gangs. joining me now is a phoebe kong phoebe resource allayed disturbing images of masked men beating up protesters do we know who they are. yes do it clear that what their exact identities are given that there is no one addressed the so far into now and the police chief said during the past briefing just now as saying that they are still investigating the case and they provide no further details because during this especially we're not clear about the sad and it is often mosman that there are skeptics suggesting that they may be related to
1:05 pm
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 this man's because he because he appears by and get in touch with those mosque men right before the attack so there is no part of the tells but i think we have to weigh 40 investigation of the police until everything was getting clear and to watch what demands of the activists leaders making now and who has directed at hong kong's leaders directly at beijing . some of them do turn to beijing as to target off the demonstrations as we have seen some of them they demonstrated in front of the beijing liaison office in part in hong kong they expressing their anger to worse the longstanding interference into hong kong
1:06 pm
domestic affairs so this is one of the target for the majority of the protesters and also hong kong people then now more angry with the the handling of the hong kong government and hong kong police force and with how they handle the clashes over the past few weeks especially last night so this is the main reason which trick of the ngo off the hong kong people that is to they are asking for hong kong on top leadership of them 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. become in hong kong thank you very much for that update from there. india has successfully launched an unmanned spacecraft to the far side of the mon. you know. this is the work of the terminally onto took off from the southeast haven't space centers
1:07 pm
or chairs from thousands of onlookers the launch had been delayed a reactor to a technical glitch the children to carries an orbiter land and draw over if you travel for 2 months before the lander or victim touches down on the moon it's out of robotic rover. will then spend 14 days collecting mineral and chemical samples for analysis the mission is a major step forward in india's efforts to become the space superpower to not only the united states russia and china have landed spacecraft on the moon. joining me now from delhi is roger very political pollen she's the head of the nuclear and space policy initiative a few observer research foundation that's a think tank based in the indian capital welcome largish really a big moment for india and its space program what did you feel when you saw somebody on to lift off today. now i think this is been an exciting moment not just
1:08 pm
far the indian space for such organization india as a whole but also for the whole this is become such a prestigious moment because there has been a global attention ever since u.s. . came into office he talked about going back to the moon there have been other countries such as india russia china and japan who have been trying to go back to the in the morning. china has undertaken couple of impressive my shows that it landed on the far side of the moon at this you know in the beginning in june generally 2 years ago it landed on the u.s. side of the border so there have been quite a bit of attention even to domestic to do the more and more missions but also grognard out to space itself has seen quite a bit of a sense the minute she vent could be that they expect the actual landing to take place and lot of the trickiest box off of this mission. so the landing itself is going to take plays a vital $45.00 days from now so on this september 1st speaks up to the 6th or 7th.
1:09 pm
to the. actually. land there and then you have the trickiest of the $10.00 off the bar and it can actually into the earth do not operate and i think that's going to be the morse to keep part of the old mission this was a tricky mission in the 1st spot and. separates from the from the rocket itself that this happened now it can be popped and be what he called it all it's docking on. a couple of us for us for the next few weeks and before it gets on to the lunar obvious 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 the plane sped to land will be decided only as moments before it's actually. landing so it's
1:10 pm
a very complex and very difficult mission and this is the most complex mission that india has undertaken. landing on and on to other still so phase. head of the new space policy initiative at the foundation. that now bring you some other stories making news around the israeli forces have begun demolishing palestinian homes outside. residents were forcibly evicted expired from. too close to the battery a separating israel and the palestinians palestinians accuse israel of using security as a pretext to force them out. of the government's emergency committee to decide on a new sanctions against iran after the seizure of the british flag. and.

after hitting a fishing boat. the head of the un. amano has died a long time and japanese diplomat was said to have been suffering from a head during his tenure a man who oversaw the signing of the 2015. to its nuclear program. not to create the president. looks to be on course to win an outright majority following sunday's parliamentary election if the result would be the best in the. post soviet history. course snap elections after his landslide presidential win in april because violent was dominated by his opponents he said upon a mensch a majority would have supported promised reforms and his fight against corruption. joins us from the ukrainian capital nic the latest projections show that. off the
1:12 pm
people party may exceed expectations and get a majority in parliament how's it looking. yes the. territory. of the people with just 50 percent of the votes counted looks to gain the absolute majority yes the evening it didn't seem like they would need a coalition partner may no longer be the case this is more support in parliament than any other ukrainian president has had a real power base his legacy going into his presidency the other parties are all significantly behind his party the nearest 2nd place party is just over 12 percent is a party run by someone who is a personal friend of his an indication of how far the support for openly. in this country you have a former prime minister. president. is politics.
1:13 pm
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 his advantage while he's seeming to be paying out really worked out very well for the new ukrainian president so you should make it seems a lens case political damage of course not elections has paid off but after the marathon 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. great for the way they banked the improvements that definitely happened. the fact that the police people no longer fear the police that low level police corruption has disappeared largely
1:14 pm
the fact that journalists are free to go about their work and to investigate the powerful that basically is now taken as a given and people angry that standards of living have not improved faster that the social situation is 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 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 all explains why selenski be able to capitalize so successfully on those on those feelings so that is give me 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
1:15 pm
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 significant 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 concessions so despite that strong showing which of the 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. consensus 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 concessions out of. it and maybe not seeing results as quickly as he would hope. nikolay in care thank you very much for the aid groups doctors without borders an

s.o.s. and military have restarted refugee rescue efforts in the mediterranean with. the norwegian flag ship ocean biking will conduct rescue operations off the coast of libya it's equipped with a medical clinic and has the capacity to take in up to 200 refugees the aid groups free vs rescue ship had to seize operations last december because of what this it was obstruction by several european governments. and later today diplomats will be meeting in paris to discuss how refugees rescued from the mediterranean should be distributed across the block but the sea is not the only migration thousands are still attempting to reach europe by land the situation especially critical along the. many overcrowded camps facing an uncertain future we have this report from one camp. 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 former garbage dump. between 450 and 700 migrants live in tents here they're all men 10 kilometers away in the city of be hatched there are 2 other refugee camps for families with nearly 5000 inhabitants already overcrowded that's why about 100 more people arrive in check every day is courted by both me and 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 very. bad there is no electricity do lunch or

1:19 pm
think it's logical that they just want to make it as unpleasant as possible for the refugees here so that they'll leave. 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 here to be. here to be. but a police man. appeared to. be like well be be here. everything pick a dirty. money everything big and dear to boarding now europe sees itself confronted with a massive humanitarian emergency not only in the mediterranean but also on the nearly forgotten balkan roots. not

vittal is responsible for the hard line from now on we clean up he says in a video he himself posted snipers on the helicopters shoot at suspects in the favelas that's a new policy brought in since vittal took office and despite all the evidence he insists that if innocent people are killed it can only be by criminals and terrorists who must be wiped out. in a conflict like this it is normal for the number of deaths to rise when the gangs realize that they can't fight us fewer and fewer people will choose a life of crime murder as a deterrent has devastating consequences on the beach at. since of those who were killed in the cross-fire demonstrate this is the school uniform of 14 year old marco who bled to death in the arms of his mother. my son said mom of the police are crazy didn't they see me with my school things i answered don't talk my son but

he repeated the sentence after that he never spoke again. but some 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 problem says the police union. it would be better if the police focus their energy on investigations on background checks rather than on a policy of pure confrontation but this is the opposite of president also gnarls 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 to the was a question festival in the german city of spectators from all over the world gathered there for this year's c h i international horse show the whole riders were
