tensions rising and i don't think this will be over within the next few days. how much yes you have been covering these protests for those many weeks and months and we see the signs there we see the umbrellas we see the coordinated efforts by those protests what's it like to be in the middle of that chaos i mean these protesters seem to be incredibly organized especially when it comes to something like tear gas being fired. yes but still it's a bit a stressful situation when people are on the wanted you have to follow that with the way it seems to go on the way from them but i was impressed with a post by the civility all this movement in the beginning no consul of them are getting more radical i will read it to these guidelines themselves but still these protesters are extremely organized and many of these protests have been really most governments especially in the beginning these big protests when millions of people

marched and did not leave and even later i think most governments would be happy to have such a population. but yes you spoke earlier with joshua walling of course he was one of the leaders of those original protests in 24 saying we want to play that clip again and see if you can respond to what he told you earlier today let's take a listen. now at a protest get off from police on north pole is the you would use pepper spray and rubber bullets and tear gas fire on activists that's why protest get approval from police force or not is not meant to end in more protests might continue. do you expect protests all clashes to be more frequent. code has my calling on everyone and now is not only related to urging the government to terminate a bit the bill now is the summer off this call in hand to beijing and hong kong government last week we experienced poll raging gangs and mosque. ordinary citizen

yesterday we experienced poll riot police beaten on he's pro protester inside railway station know where the probation gangs of all is for serving the interests of beijing they are just. hoping to silence the voice of hong kong people what do you think can be the outcome of this protest movement calls for democracy will never stop we will continue our fight lead of hall should not be appointed by beijing leader of hong kong should be elected by hala people so we heard there josh calling this the summer of discontent saying the calls for democracy will never stop even asking for a democratically elected leader of hong kong what was your sense when you were talking with joshua long. he seemed really angry he's been i've met him a few times before really determined that he is he's one of the protest leaders of

2014 and for this protest of course many journalists like me interviewing these kind of a spokes person. people in it is that are protesting but he is not the focus do you do you just wondering from one facebook this that this launch you can always be moving on is even sort of going to try to send via different media online media it's a very decentralized democratic movement that is not relying on leaders anymore it's one of the lessons they have learned after 2041 many up to leaders including joshua would jailed often the people. we've seen this pattern now coming back to the protest themselves of relatively peaceful marching during the day and as night falls that starts to change it looks like it's starting to get dark now where you are are there fears of potentially another escalation in terms of violence tonight . yes there is already an escalation

because. of the accounts are getting denser and denser people are also mentioning the need to leave with these is advancing from there and yes we are going to see more patches tonight that's for sure that what's true for sure from the beginning that was the reason why the police said why they would not allow for this protest to happen for this march to happen and thank you to the prediction that this is fulfilling as. you also heard joshua wang saying there that these protests will not stop but they will continue demonstrating to we have a sense now of what may happen tomorrow. tomorrow is monday there are no protests planned for tomorrow so tomorrow is probably going to be a quiet day but it is there's the next weekend coming up protests already planned for next weekend and for the weekend after so i think we are going to as he called

it along from off protesters on from our discontent. there have been some some question surrounding beijing's role in these recent crackdowns as beijing been perhaps more active in terms of their response to these protests recently. staging. reiterated that they would be ready to send in the army if this was necessary if the hong kong government would ask them you can understand this of course as a threat it's a basic threat it's something that it's not an announcement it's not that they are planning to do this there have been asked to listen about how to handle this as the hong kong government all over because sending in troops or cracking down intensely more intensely than now on this protest movement has of course a big risk when beijing is under pressure internationally. i'm i think we're going

to see another announcement about aging tomorrow a press conference by the hong kong and macau affairs office has already been scheduled so. we will probably know more tomorrow but until now beijing is denouncing this as something morgan eyes by foreign powers and they are seeing this as an interference by some some foreign powers into china's internal affairs they are extremely sensitive to criticism from abroad but i don't think they have an idea how to deal with this all right matty as well and our correspondent in kong kong in the thick of things there thank you so much for sticking with us and definitely stay safe there thank you very much. all right changing gears now and today is world hepatitis day and although the virus is preventable and treatable it's still one of the world's deadliest diseases the most

severe varieties have a time to speak and see kill 1400000 people every year that's more than hiv tuberculosis or malaria scientists estimate that the liver condition affects more than 300000000 people worldwide but the majority of them are unaware the world health organization is aiming to eliminate the disease as a public health threat by the year 20 there. well for more we're joined now by michael p. mans he is the president of the hun over medical school and has spent much of his career researching liver diseases and viral hepatitis thank you so much for joining us 1st of all we just heard those shocking numbers why do you think this disease is not get as much attention as something like hiv for example we have been fighting for this all all the years i really do not understand why a disease that causes live a can so the course is death from the death toll you mentioned it is more than $1000000.00 per year that's a shocking number 3 number and you mentioned there are more deaths than age of

young tuberculosis we have more than 300000000 chronic carriers and this is caused by various viruses have buttons b. c. and d. so it's not understandable why we don't diagnose the disease because we have treatments available now. hepatitis as we heard there it's preventable it's treatable what's holding us back then why there's still so many people dying from is why can't we really get a handle on this disease 1st of all we have to distinguish here because being limited to see what that is be we have a vaccine and we have therapies that control of ours we cannot cure a virus of a country see we do not have a vaccine but we have therapies that cure the disease the other question is access to therapy it's costly however there has been a change in recent years there is high prizes in high income countries but they are generics in low income countries but in countries like germany where access to treatment is available for almost everybody the problem is to diagnose these

patients and therefore the world has been tied to stay is doing it has a model that we have to find the millions if we don't diagnose the disease we cannot treat the disease that leads me to my next question a lot of us are wondering ok so 9 out of 10 people affected by have otitis they're not aware that they have it how can that be how can it be that people don't know that that they're infected only a minority experience is symptoms when they get the acute disease and the symptoms of liver are a domino pain our john does but others have only for tea and discomfort but the majority doesn't experience any symptoms the just developed chronic infection with b r c and they only experience symptoms when it's too late when they have end stage disease and therefore we need screening programs to diagnose the un diagnosed. in your opinion where should we be putting more of our resources we should now put

resources into diagnostics and screening programs in germany for example we have not included liver enzyme testing in the check out $35.00 we test for cholesterol for blood pressure but not for liver enzymes and the 2nd step has to be that we have to educate general petition that they if there is elevated enzymes that they don't think it's caused by alcohol not elevated enzymes of the liver as always cause balco very often that are treatable infections like viral hepatitis behind it now we heard that the world health organization has a pretty lofty goal they want to eliminate happen titus as a public health threat by 2030 do you think that's a realistic goal we have to look at the nation by nation for iceland it's very realistic that our around 1100 people that have been identified and there will be cured very shortly we have other countries where very efficient programs are in place like in portugal georgia and even in egypt the countries with the highest prevalence but other countries including germany we are dropping from the list we

have been listed green light by the w.h.o. 3 years ago but we dropped to yellow because people are thinking we will not achieve the goal of elimination by 2030 because we don't diagnose the i'm in a place like germany even in a place like germany and it's prevalent in the migrant population in the i.v. drug abuser everybody who had blood transfusions before 92 is at risk but we now have to have treating programs in place interesting stuff michael p. mans from the the president of the hun over medical school today and on the national day international day of hepatitis thank you much thank you very much. sports now in cycling a gun bernald is set to win this year's tour de france after he held onto his lead through the penultimate stage the colombian held off his closest competitors on the steep climb up to voltaren as the tally invention so the bali won the stage that means though that banal simply has to cruise past the finish line on the shop at

least say in paris later today as tradition dictates that the race leader is not to be challenged in the final stage. in formula one there will be no home track advantage or is of vettel at the german grand prix the ferrari driver was not amused and left unable to compete due to problems with his car was a different story though for lewis hamilton who set the fastest lap time and will start in pole position for sadie's driver and reigning world champion currently has a 39 point lead in the driver's state. and reminder now the top story that we're following for you at this hour hong kong police are firing tear gas to disperse crowds blockading the city center democracy protesters have been marching in defiance of an official ban unrest is expected to continue into the night it's the 2nd day of clashes between crowds police and just the latest in what's being called hong kong summer of discontent.
