thousands of people how purportedly been killed in an attack by the militant group boko haram in nigeria over the course of the last decade the ongoing violence has displaced almost 2000000 people and left thousands dead. and firefighters are tackling ranging wildfires across large parts of siberia the effects of the heavy snow are being felt hundreds of kilometers away but the residents in some areas being advised not to go outside. welcome to the show. chaos and hong kong as police crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators defying an official ban to block the city center protests were taking place near the chinese government office in downtown hong kong when police unleashed a volley of tear gas canisters as the 2nd consecutive day of such clashes last

night dozens were arrested and many injured the marches are part of a weeks long campaign demanding greater democracy in hong kong and autonomy from mainland china. after saturday's clashes protesters took to the streets of hong kong again this time to demonstrate against the police's use of tear gas. i think we need to have a protest issues so that we have strongly against these kinds of without it you know we need them to was i was born to. respond to the mom's leading democracy activists just go along told d.w. the protests have now gone beyond opposition to the controversial extradition bill that sparked them now it's the summer off this content to a beijing and hong kong government last week we experienced pro beijing games and most ordinary citizen yesterday we experienced riot police beaten on

his fro protester inside railway station know by the probation gangs of all is falsifying the interest of beijing they are just. hoping to silence the voice of hong kong people. the demonstrations began peacefully with anger against the police only adding to the litany of complaints against hong kong government. people at 50 that. are really on happy with what has been happening in the last weeks they are unhappy with the with the police's response they i think they want an investigation into police action and i can smell the chicken. with all authorities unwilling to show restraint protesters now fear that hong kong's freedoms are at stake as beijing exits ever more influence over the territory but protesters are unbound. calls for democracy will never stop we will continue our fight

a fight that looks set to continue with neither side willing to back down. for more on this i'm joined now by telling a reporter to cherry chan cherry we've been observing the protests. developing an increasing degree of violence police is using more and more force and the demonstrators are radicalizing where do you see this going so the tension between the police and the protesters is really increasing the protesters even see the police as their enemy so you can see that police every time there you saying more false and they it's almost guaranteed that they would use tear gas or rubber bullets to disperse the protesters and you can also see that the protesters stay in not just. taking in all these. actually also defending themselves they would put on helmets or face masks and they would actually sometimes make

spontaneous weapons on the scene and in some cases you can even see that. for example when the police fired tear gas to them they would pick up these canisters and throw them back to the police and so you can see there. it's reaching a breaking point we just heard joshua key pro-democracy activist there in hong kong saying the calls for democracy will never stop what exactly is the movements and game so the protests start. to. be you know it has been script but it has not been totally withdrawn from the steam on the protests they are asking for way more than that for example they are asking for their wrist nation of kerry learn they are asking for ultimately food democracy . and so i think if the government doesn't come out and to answer

some at least some of these requests is really hard to see through these demonstrations people from all across hong kong society have joined these protests even people you wouldn't normally expect to write yeah exactly so in the past. yeah you can see a lot of people are trying to make their voice heard on my home was there you see a lot of this stuff. and they want to speak on behalf of the film industry so for example i have seen nurses flight attendants i've seen bus drivers sign online petitions on behalf of their industry to their government to answer the protesters request and was more surprised than the. government employees they also joined these online protests and what i've heard today is also that they're actually hundreds of government employees they are planning to launch to organize a role in the next week to demand their balls to answer the requests of the

protesters presumably raising isn't liking this how long do you think it's going to be until the chinese central government takes on a more active role in all of this actually just today beijing's top body in hong kong the hong kong affairs office and they said they will come out to speak to the press tomorrow and to respond to. the protests in the last 2 months it is highly likely that the beijing government would answer any of the requests of the protesters and they will probably take a very tough stance against these protesters they will probably say that. there has also been rumors. my in the n.c.a.a. and hong kong to stop these protests if if it doesn't stop so very tense situation there in hong kong. for us thank you very much. so let's now take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world russia is facing
