speak to the indonesian men forced to work in appalling conditions on chinese fishing boats off the coast of east africa. and germany in shock after an 8 year old boy is pushed in front of a high speed train at frankfurt station apparently for no reason we have the latest on the investigation. plus a rat and rodent infested mess a place where no human would want to live that's what president trump said of the city of baltimore at the weekend outraging many of the residents we sent our reporter to find out what it's really like. hello i'm terry martin good to have you with us and government protesters in hong kong are refusing to back down this morning hundreds of demonstrators disk. up to

train services by blocking the doors of commuter trains is 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 an independence from beijing's rule the protesters hit where it hurts the daily grind of hong kong's economy. not have a meeting at time and this 8 hour oh my thing my work and getting to play. our freedom and safety and to live right said to get away and got caught what some ok with that i was 8 years old right because i think the governments of the response to the mom of the city. was the last thing she would authorize 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 asked the u.s. police if there were a similar violent attack on the police in the united states in washington d.c. at or in new york city how would they respond i think everyone can imagine the scenes i got to crete sent to. me for me. beijing has. not address

the protesters demands for more democracy instead it insists on a return to order in hong kong. but some city lawmakers have taken the side of the movement saying beijing is out of touch. with the impression of hong kong is simply fundamentally wrong if the so far away from hong kong people really sentiment was all over the demonstrators would most likely agree and they seem willing to continue the near daily disruptions until their message gets through. for the story let's go straight over to hong kong where our correspondent phoebe kong is standing by p.b. why are the protesters now targeting the public transport system what's their strategy. both of them this is a kind of civil disobedience action. and they're trying to take.

a rather more. than. we can. take you. know. that's controversial way to. express their views actually this is not the 1st time to the natural eye and they always that they usually just do it during the peak hour and i think it matters nation so this is something that we can expect that maybe it happens more like in the coming. over the weekend the police used rubber bullets and tear gas against demonstrators how are police dealing with this latest protest action at the train stations. we have to say that the behavior of hong kong police today is more restraint to

compare it to what they behave way over the last week and today there there is no direct confrontation between police and protesters. police was not deployed to inside the metro station to our to try to the action off the coast has to step there just like i carting on the streets and they're just they on the street and turns up the metro station trying to direct the crowd to take other kinds of public transportation so there is no clashes i happening today but compared to last weekend i what we witnessed is that police have fired dawsons if not hundreds of rounds of tear gas and they're deploying on many kinds of various kinds of weapons to try to. disperse the protesters so on there is like a big contrast between the last week and what happened today the western governments have criticized sororities for their handling of the protests

particularly. how is this unrest affecting the relationship between china and the west. yeah as we know the chinese government they have emphasized and reiterated various times in the past one to 2 months they were trying to warn the west and i governments not to intervene into domestic issues so-called domestic issues in hong kong but. hong kong isn't and it is an international city which affects so many of the interests of many western countries and also the chinese government as well so so far we can see that any sign of the hong kong government and the beijing authority to back down to trying to make a compromise to the demands i propose has to so it's very likely for the protests to go to ask only in the coming future and that the fed will likely to further

intensify the tensions between the west and china. ok phoebe thank you so much. there in hong kong the united nations is using today to draw attention to human trafficking it's a worldwide problem more than 40000000 people are thought to be trapped in some form of slavery the number of countries involved is on the increase the victims are mainly women and children many men also endure forced labor in terrible conditions . as a steady job with a good salary and a lucrative. that's the promise that tempts many indonesian men to leave their highlands and to see but what they get is. least by the indonesian seafarers movement shows crew members sleeping on the floor in the cargo hold looking malnourished and exhausted one of them is from

a tula. he says he was tricked by an indonesian recruiting agency traffic to somalia and forced to spend 9 months aboard a chinese fishing boat manning the nets and packing fish for 18 hours a day or. some . bonding when we didn't catch enough fish or squid we will be eaten by the captain. diversity or we will be eaten a lot i'm still traumatized by it going without a but i was. on board the creek claim they were given a choice between going hungry and eating spoiled fish and they didn't even have clean water. will most likely come on the rare occasion we were given fish we could tell by the smell that the fish was already bad after smelling it we

couldn't eat it in a daily basis all we got was cabbage and rice with a little salt the farm aid and we drank pronunciation of water that we collected from the air conditioner done what i would. from a tool 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. a tool and as cremates say there are thousands of dollars in unpaid wages. were don't know what i work for are a way for my family so they could be proud of me when i returned home but the reality was different it's monogamous a lot harder got me when i asked the recruitment company for our rights they said

you're a stupid idiot we just want to ask for a ride. after working for 7 months when about how many. numerous n.g.o.s both local and international have run by about the slave like conditions that seem to be commonplace on fishing vessels across the globe but it hasn't stopped men like the nice from falling into the hands of traffic has. indonesia's 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. 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 raw material and his former cremates no doubt are in fact difficult to

approaches 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 and their personality and their mood in the moment that's why when someone has murderous intent and wants to carry out a violent act and do something horrible then that can be motive enough. and. the remains unclear with 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 some a vacation early to make a statement on tuesday. meanwhile the interior minister of his so expressed his sympathy is into amends by which are fun at the moment our thoughts are with. the mother the son and the family. isn't in. we are very grateful for the courageous citizens. because of their brave intervention we were able to capture and arrest the alleged perpetrator stayed in clinton.

problems and one has been there for many years west baltimore which is prone to crime and violence and with the streets are indicate. one of the last homicides happened just here a few days ago 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 y. tells its 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 are you then it may be in a way that. he says that i get is i think 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 what 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 pink katz says trump'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 he's shedding light on a lot of issues that are directly respond that the president is directly responsible for and when you talk about a 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. a new round of trade talks between the u.s. and china is getting underway in shanghai it's the 1st face to face discussions since to go she collapsed in may washington in beijing have so far hit each other with punitive tariffs covering more than $360000000000.00 into a trade tense standoff centers on washington's demands for china to curb the alleged theft of american technology and provide a level playing field for u.s. company. of more on more of the talks we're joined in this here in the studio by

our business correspondent clifford coonan and china expert clever what can we expect from these talks that didn't really get very far in the past well i think we're learning to expect the unexpected at this point. they didn't get very far it's been since may we haven't had any movement and i think what we're going to expect what we can expect is for them to get to know each other a little bit again at to set the parameters for their discussions but also to try and work their way through the sort of the political morass that we've seen surrounding it i mean we've had all these political statements and we've also seen all this evidence that it's affecting both economies now so this. stakes are extremely high at the same time these things are so bureaucratic and so torturous as we've seen i mean in the year of this now. that they're going to have to find a way to talk to each other 1st i think hundreds of billions of trade here are at stake indeed

a high stakes game could or couldn't from did all the visions thanks so much through sudanese leader omar al bashir was overthrown amid protests in april of this year at that point a new political era became a possibility after 30 years of dictatorship many people in sudan hope the revolution will not just be political but will also have an effect on sports for many in the football mad african country long overdue investment in sports would be a welcome way to mark a new beginning. 17 year old in math soliman his friends kick a ball around in the sudanese capital of khartoum they have no proper kits nets pitch markings or coaches marvie there is nobody to motivate me i'm going to become the best player in sudan or in africa you know. investment in sports is practically nonexistent in sudan a nation which spent 30 years under the iron rule of overthrown leader omar al

bashir many hope to see 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 mint 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 the wall to separate between the football clubs. and the laws of the football union and its system with the. sudanese football has long lag 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 themselves to believe that a return to its former glory is finally within touching distance. and just reminder the top story we're following for you here today on the news antigovernment protesters in hong kong have 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. tony from mainland china. and don't forget you can always get the latest news on the go just download our app from google play or from the app store of data give you access to all the latest news from around the world as well as push notifications for any breaking news and also use the app to send us photos and. cut.
