w. . this is news coming to you live from berlin more chaos in hong kong as anti-government protesters disrupt train services demonstrators blocked doors causing massive delays for commuters is the latest move in their campaign to force the government to respond to their demands for more democracy also coming up germany in shock after an 8 year old boy is pushed in front of a high speed train at pret frankfurt station apparently for no reason we have the latest on the investigation. plus

a raft rodent infested mess that's what president trump called the city of baltimore at the weekend to help raising many of its residents we send a reporter to find out what it's really like. hello i'm terry martin thanks for joining us and you government protesters in hong kong are refusing to back down this morning hundreds of demonstrators disrupted train services by blocking the doors of commuter trains it's part of their campaign to increase pressure on the government to give in to their demands for more autonomy from mainland china. they. rush hour and one of the world's most densely populated cities in the subway system commuter chaos. activists have blocked the train doors. calling for democratic reforms and independence from beijing's rule

the protestors hit where it hurts the daily grind of hong kong's economy. the top of beating at times on this 8 hour off my things my work at heating to wake us up freedom safety and human rights and to get away and got caught with some ok with that come along for yourself right because i think the governments with the response to the mom of the citizens i was the last 3 people all thought cairo these are. the protests began over 8 weeks ago against a proposed bill that would allow suspects from hong kong to be extradited to mainland china for trial i the bill was shelved but demonstrators are now demanding its complete withdrawal. they're also calling for hong kong leader kerry lead to step down and for greater autonomy i lawmakers in europe and the u.s.

have weighed in many defending the protesters and saying the police have used excessive force the chinese government said that this was hypocritical i sat down to continue our what if you ask the u.s. police if there were a similar violent attack on the police in the united states in washington d.c. or in new york city how would they respond i think everyone can imagine the scenes i got to crete sounds you. know for me. beijing has not addressed the protesters demands for more democracy instead it insists on a return to order in hong kong. that some city lawmakers have taken the side of the movement saying beijing is out of touch the impression of hong kong is simply a fundamentally wrong if the so far away from hong kong. the

demonstrators would most likely agree and they seem willing to continue the near daily disruptions until their message gets through. more delegates talk to our correspondent in hong kong phebe kong is standing by for us there p.v. why are the protesters now targeting the public transport system what's their strategy. i'm for them this is the kind of. action which they put it in the thousands way pretty different from 2 days before we have seen the clashes on the street and now they are taking some rather more peaceful approach to try to stop. this stop the public transportation system they want to put put a pressure on the government by increasing the cost. if they know it at the moment so they're going to do it and this is actually not the 1st time for them to pull off at the natural life and they want to make that choice her life by putting the

pressure on the government and for them this is actually something not thousands so they think that this might be less controversial if they'd like to do it this way the security forces there in hong kong used rubber bullets and tear gas against demonstrators over the weekend how are the police dealing with this latest protest action. yeah we have seen i clashed over the last weekend in hong kong both in hong kong island and also in the district and police have fired. thousands if not hundreds of shots of tear gas and also. have to spray and passionate rounds to the protesters so. we can see the escalation off the field has police force used by home police they have also intensified the cross they're using also they're using the weapons to try

to disperse the protesters so we can see that both they both asked the late night. actions they too was trying. western governments have criticised authorities for their handling of the protests how is this affecting the relationship between china and the west. we have heard in the past one to 2 months have been chinese government they have emphasized and reiterated for various time they wanted the west and western governments not to intervene into life hong kong issues but as we know hong kong is that international financial hub which affects the interests of not only the west but also china so. that's why this is also one of the reasons why the west or the well is looking closely to the situation in hong kong but. if the hong kong government and the

beijing government and not backing down to any other come on making compromises to the protests to israel likely that posthaste in the coming after late and we may see the tension between the west and the chinese government they will like this to intensify as well and putting them in a more embarrassing situation phebe thank you very much t w spivey kong there in hong kong. and they were out of trade talks between the u.s. and china is getting underway in shanghai it's the 1st face to face discussions since negotiations collapsed in may washington and beijing have so far hit each other with punitive tariffs covering more than $360000000000.00 in 2 way trade a tense standoff centers on washington's demands for china to curb the alleged theft of american technology and provide a level playing field as the u.s. says for american companies it's.

our china expert clifford kernan is following these talks for us and joins us now good to see you clifford so we've got the negotiations cranking up again between beijing and washington they've been talking before without a lot of success is there a prospect of a deal coming out of these talks well we haven't had any contact official contact since may except for the g 20 at which they appeared to be coming close because trump and she made some small concessions very public concessions and i think that's indicative because it's a very political story so actually predicting whether there's going to be a deal or not is still very opaque and they've got a lot to they've got a lot of ground to cover the got a lot of ground to make up so i think we will wait and see i think we're going to see more it's going to be more about admin i think and sort of setting up things before we actually get

a deal which should be further along the road so they're still working on process here but meanwhile we've got tariffs already in place covering 360000000000 dollars worth of goods a lot of money who's winning this trade war well trump is playing this in a very cavalier fashion he's sort of saying we don't need we don't need to worry about this you know that that the u.s. is getting all this money from taxpayers. which economists disagree with i think one figure which is a recent figure which stuck stuck in my mind is that 90 percent of chinese investment into the u.s. has dried up since trump came to office so i think this has to start having an impact on the u.s. economy we know that it's impacting on the chinese economy and it's certainly seen the slowdown there in industrial production but i think it's also beginning to be felt in the american heartland in the in the farms where a lot of the trump support is so it's not as clear cost as it initially looks and i

think that ultimately the u.s. is going to have to start dealing with these problems at home a lot at stake for both sides clifford coming in from v.w. business thank you so much for now let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today resilient authorities say at least 57 people have died during a prison riot in the north of the country officials said brutal fighting erupted between rival criminal groups at the mira prison in pariah state the death toll may still rhymes the u.s. said it has failed to block a controversial $8000000000.00 arms sale to saudi arabia pushed by the white house legislators did not have enough votes to override president donald trump's veto of a bipartisan bill which aimed to stop the weapons sale saudi arabia has been criticized for its involvement in the yemen civil. and military plane has crashed into a residential area in pakistan not in the capital islamabad at least 17 people were

killed most of them civilians on the ground the crash destroyed several houses because it's not yet. in a few hours' time germany's interior minister horses e hole is set to hold a crisis meeting to discuss the killing of an 8 year old boy on monday so hopeful has interrupted his holiday to deal with the case the child was pushed in front of a train by a 40 year old man in frankfurt station the suspect was detained by police after trying to flee the scene reports say he has so far made no comment. no it was here at frankfurt central station that the 8 year old boy and his mother were pushed from the platform the mother was able to scramble to safety but his son was struck by an approaching high speed train who didn't get it securely to the main suspect a 40 year old man fled the scene of some help some eyewitnesses are part of this to

us discommode you were able to track him down with the help of civilians and he was detained near the station of ice to help on the office to step down earlier this month a similar incident took place in the state of north rhine-westphalia there are a 34 year old woman died after she was pushed in front of an oncoming train. in monday's incident the man did not know the woman or the child criminal psychologists say that's not necessarily uncommon. this motif most needed approach was a motive doesn't have to be related to the victims they can simply be random victims and it has more to do with the offender their personality and their mood than the amount that's why when someone has murderous intent and wants to carry out a violent act into something horrible then that can be motive enough. he remains unclear whether the suspect may have been suffering from mental illness or was under the influence of drugs german interior minister horst c.

hoffa is ending his summer vacation early to make a statement on tuesday. meanwhile the interior minister of his so expressed his sympathy dunn was into amends by him which are fine at the moment our thoughts are with the mother the son and the family. isn't in. push it and we are very grateful for the courageous citizens. of the huts to see cuz of their brave intervention we were able to capture and arrest the alleged perpetrator stayed in clinton wants to move isolation to. the mother is currently receiving medical treatment in hospital. police are appealing to possible eyewitnesses for more information. or for more now we're joined by our political correspondent maximiliano caustics who's been following this story good morning maximilian and so have any more details emerged about exactly what happened at that frankfurt train station as you've heard just now what we know from police authorities and witness

reports is that the man pushed the mother and the child on the tracks the boy died the mother was able to save herself by rolling off the tracks when the train was coming in and now the suspect is in the hands of the police authorities he so far has been refusing to speak we know that he's not had any relations and didn't know the victims and his court 1st quoted is being set for today so the motivation for this attack apparently is still unknown at this point the story is getting a lot of media attention here in germany what's driving well 1st and foremost the media itself we've seen. heated debates being ignited on social media especially but also being picked up by the national media coverage and this has to do with one very particular detail of the case which has caused quite a controversy now this is the nationality off the suspect normally we would report the nationality of a suspect especially if it doesn't have anything to do with the case is it doesn't

this one but the national issue which is that the man is eritrean has been leaked and that caused a heated social media debate about migration pussies in germany and this is especially important because we have in about a month an election coming up in the east of germany where there has been a lot of content for germany's very migration friendly policies and for the policies of the german chancellor angela merkel and we might see an apparel in this elections and a kind of strengthening of the far right party here in germany ok so this taps into the already ongoing. debate about migration in germany germany's interior minister has broken off his holiday because of this case and he is planning to make a statement about it later on today what do you make of that well there's 2 reasons why this could be the case 1st is the one that the interior minister is responsible for all of in domestic security and we've seen a similar case of like

a man pushing a passenger on to train checks just a couple weeks ago an old friend has failed and now that is starting a debate about the security of train stations in germany and that is his forte about this also the issue and this is coming back to the migration policy debate that the interior minister wholesale fall off the conservative varian sees you has been at the front and center of the migration debate only last summer about the same time as now he had been bringing almost the government to the brain before crisis because he had pushed for tougher regulations on migration and he can be now potentially be tapping into that but we're going to see that in the course of the day when he's giving his statement thank you so much much a 1000000 a question from our political desk thanks. you're watching the news still to come after all sting a long time ruler omar al bashir from power suit duns you are hoping for a better future and more investment in sports good political renewal also boost the

football scene. u.s. president all trump cause yet another controversy at the weekend by calling the city of baltimore a rotten rodent infested mess critics say he launched the attack because of black politician from the city illogic cummings and slammed trump's policy on migrants at the border some have described trump's comments as races to use all over solitaire has been to the city to hear what some of the residents feel about this latest focus on their hometown. the city of baltimore faces many problems and one has been there for many years west baltimore which is prone to crime and violence and where the streets are indicate. one of the last homicides happened just here a few days ago and with more than 300 people murdered last year there's no doubt

that baltimore is one of the most violent cities in north america but does this make it a rat and rodent infested mess president trump says a series of inflammatory tweets from the wide tells is baltimore slee this problem president trump calling the city of very dangerous and filthy place worst in the us a and says no human being would want to live there president trump statements are wrong. represent a political attack and a lack of understanding regarding the dynamics of baltimore the dynamics of crime a city with a black population of more than 60 percent some feel insulted by the president's rhetoric but others say there is some truth to what he says he's right about some part as well like others like if you haven't been here you can't really say anything about it especially if you're not helping the city he's right about what he then it may be in

a way that but that there will drop the fear that i get is i think of people who are insulted are absolutely justified in being insulted because he has no idea what he's talking about but that's the case of everything what does it mean with his attack president trump is taking on some of his most vocal critics congressman elijah cummings who represents parts of baltimore in congress they are human beings . city councilman leon ping katz says tom's attacks on baltimore are above all political gamesmanship a congressman cummings has been doing an exceptional job as he chairs the oversight committee in congress and. the reality is he is and as a result of his work i'm he's shedding light on a lot of issues that are directly respond that the president is directly responsible for and when we talk about our border policy when we talk about the the the treatment of immigrants

a good reason for the president to take on cummings and his congressional district even if that doesn't improve the situation in west baltimore. now let's talk about the scourge of human trafficking human traffic kurz exploit women children and men mostly for forced labor and sex work the un marks july 30th this day to raise awareness of the scandal which happens all over the world almost half of all track trafficking victims are women men account for only about one 5th 23 percent are girls and 7 percent are boys now more countries are reporting trafficking now from just 26 in 2009 to $65.00 in 2018 also victim detection is increasing it's increased from 38 percent between increased rather 38 percent between the year

a little salt. and we drank pronunciation of water that we collected from the air conditioner that i've done what i had allowed. to and his crewmates are now back home and they've taken photos and videos to document their experience experts say the fishing industry is riddled with forced labor and a predominantly targets pool workers from southeast asia. once on board there's no way out for the men and they often mercilessly exploited. children and us cremate say thousands of dollars in unpaid wages. don't know what i will try our way for my family so they could be proud of me when i returned home but the reality was different from us a lot hark at me when i asked the recruitment company for our rights they said you're a stupid idiot we just want to ask for our rights after working for 7 months when

about how many. numerous n.g.o.s both local and international have run the alarm about the slave like conditions that seem to be commonplace on fishing vessels across the globe but it hasn't stopped men like these from falling into the hands of traffickers. in uneasy as ministry of manpower is among other things tasked with the protection of its workers that brought the department head acknowledges the problem but says it's difficult to monitor labor conditions at sea. but the little we need to study 1st whether the information about the abused seafarers is true or not. just rely on data and facts so we can enforce sanctions lawfully in that country spending on. them. but as around a tool and his former cremates no doctrine facts difficult to attain when you're at sea with no one watching because he got in the local time at the time the. sudanese

a change in the fortunes of sudanese sports in the not too distant future youth football would be a good way to start there are no competitive youth leagues in sudan with children playing in only disorganised friendly matches with that's a quick min or facilities. but we are expecting change in the future. there is excitement in sudan. and we hope that the future parliament will change the laws of the youth and sports associations. to separate between the football clubs. and the laws of the football union and its system the. sudanese football has long lags behind that of other african nations but it wasn't always the case along with egypt and ethiopia it pioneered football in africa helping to set up the continent's football federation sudan has never qualified for a world cup its last appearance at the africa cup of nations came in 2012 despite the competition being expanded to 24 teams but many in sudan are allowing
