seriously. harm their reputation of hong kong most well i was there hong kong international airport and therefore i would like to feel once again to all those who are now famines trading on call international airport to leave peacefully and i soon as possible and many have now gone home business should go back to normal but the protest is set to continue with many fearing a violent crackdown at the behest of beijing. citizens of hong kong living in other parts of the world have been watching closely these developments in large hong kong community of lives in britain and some have been taking to the streets of west london to support the protesters back home. hong kong expatriates in london are showing solidarity with the activists back home nearly 100000 people from the former u.k. colony are now living in britain there watching the protests with

a mix of hope and concern for the last 8 weeks a crowd has been putting on the helmets of the democracy movement and gathering over the weekend in west london we in the u.k. cannot do much but we want to know that the hong kong people know that. you know from kaunas all over the world we are u.k. photos as well which we should apply pressure on now and peace to put to go for the parliamentary process to put pressure on the hong kong government but london isn't offering much more than encouragement success for the u.k. after brics it is heavily dependent on economic deals with china a dispute with beijing now would be extremely unhelpful. like many others alexander is worried about being confronted by an aggressive chinese state when she returns home the 25 year old has been living and working in britain for 2 years she says her body is in london but her heart belongs in hong kong. who can best them they have a whole army they have to pull east and what we have to have mats. safety

league called for snap elections the league has been in a coalition government with the populist 5 star movement since last year. he wus julia delhi is standing by for us in rome we are hearing that the full senate will need on tuesday to decide the next steps for this no confidence vote what can we expect so actually party leaders within the senate was 1st decided today because of disagreements the vote was moved to tomorrow and the whole senate is going to have to decide the timing of the motion of no confidence now said the man's allies want that to happen soon preferably this week on the other hand the 5 star movement and opposition democratic party want to push that next week maybe next tuesday the 20th so it remains to be seen what will be decided tomorrow but how likely is it that tell them he will get his way. well

it's hard to tell at the moment of the situation is quite fluid opinions and positions keep changing within the different parties very ample former prime minister and former leader of the democratic party motto in n.z. has called for a caretaker government with the 5 star movement to try to carry. government for a few months and approve some important measures however both other parts of his party including the party leader and the 5 star movement don't really seem to inclined for this option so we'll have to see whether the motion of no confidence passes in that case we'll have to see if they decide to go for elections or not and if that motion of no confidence does indeed pass what are the chances that salvini has enough support to form a new government well a new government would come after elections with. in the majority so moment polls

show him pulling really high at 37 percent he couldn't cover alone but with already alliance with the far rights nationalists the brothers of italy he could reach a majority if you add that risk when you start it's a target of the external you would probably be able to reach a 2 thirds majority in the parliament and that would give him a lot of power also to change the constitution what consequences could all of this have for the european union in the meantime. well italy has to face a very important decision in the next few months it has to present its 2020 budget and it has to find 23000000000 euros otherwise it will have to raise its the a t and the whole situation is troublesome for the european union because it could bring contentions as it had last year with italy's previous budget on the other hand he would also be the most powerful far right populous leader in power in europe and that could create momentum for the far right populist in the come in and

to lay it out early in rome thank you. thank you let's get a quick check of some other stories making news around the world a yemeni separatist group supported by the united arab emirates says that it is ready for talks with yemen saudi backed government perceptor to seize control of the city of aden over the weekend after a breakdown in the coalition fighting yemen's iranian backed rebels the separatists seek independence from southern yemen. the norwegian man charged with killing his stepsister and opening fire in the mosque they are also has denied the accusations and asked to be released the 21 year old made the statement at a court hearing the court ruled that he can be held for 4 weeks while an investigation continues. and conservative 100. is bottom of this new president he won the 2nd round of presidential elections on sunday with nearly 60 percent of the vote the former boss of the prison system

defeated sandra torres in left leaving former 1st lady. a new migrant rescue ship has saved more than 250 people in its 1st 3 days in the mediterranean the ocean viking picked up migrants off the coast of libya it is the largest of the rescue boats searching the seas between north africa and it. russia's media regulator has demanded you tube stop promoting live streams of what authorities call illegal political protest russian demonstrators have been gathering for the past 4 weekends to call for free and fair elections it took to the streets after several opposition candidates were excluded from the ballot for moscow city council one of the russian capitals biggest political protests in nearly a decade took place on saturday. t w social media editor carl nasmyth joins us here in the studio for more on this story so what exactly does moscow want you tube to

do i mean 1st of all as you mention these protests this week and they were a big deal 50000 people in the streets of moscow around. 100 people arrested so the very next day russia's communications watchdog sends a letter to google that's of course you tube's parent company and they're essentially saying look stop promoting these rallies on your site or else and this is that letter it specifically says that you tube was sending push notifications to you tube users to help promote what are called unlawful demonstrations the letter as you can see also says if google doesn't respond it will be regarded as quote infer interference in the sovereign affairs of the state hostile influence and obstruction of its democratic elections so russia taking this pretty seriously i mean the letter does not exactly spell out what actions russia might take against google in response and google for its part has not publicly commented on this either but if we're reading between the lines here i mean why does russia really

want you to block these push out of it what's the big deal about the push notifications the letter doesn't specifically mention which accounts or or which videos were sending out these push notifications but it's pretty clear if you look at youtube which videos the authorities were really worried about being promoted and then this is one of them here and there were scores of accounts that were actually live streaming these demonstrations for hours i think this one went on for 7 or 8 hours many of the largest channels were run by international bob katter broadcasters are radio free europe voice of america for example this particular one comes from radio free europe it was seen by more than 2000000 people it had interviews with protestors you can see there on the side an active discussion board as well so if you read between the lines that might be the kind of stuff the russian authorities didn't quite like why the focus on you tube specifically because i mean it's not the only platform right right it's not the only one but in russia you know television especially is heavily censored it's essentially controlled by the state so you tube has become this kind of safe haven for free

speech it's one of the few places you can go if you're a russian citizen to see. the video of an opposition protest to hear anti kremlin opinions the best example really of youtube's power inside of russia is alexina vali himself this opposition figure and really youtube is what launched his career in the 1st place i mean his you tube channel has nearly 3000000 subscribers and they tune in for these investigations into state corruption you might remember this one if you gears ago he dug into prime minister dmitri medvedev of his use of dirty money to allegedly by mansions and other property as you can see here that was viewed 30000000 times and you tube obviously not something you would see on state television so you tube and google in general are really being targeted specifically by russia i mean the company was fined last year for failing to filter out sides that have been banned by the government from its search results you tube also last year was forced to take down video ads for the volley during the election this

threatening letter not coming out of nowhere i mean google definitely is in the crosshairs of russian authorities call nasa thank you. this is g.w. news live from berlin coming up next it is business africa with their heartfelt 1st frequent blackouts. are a daily nuisance for businesses and ordinary people in south africa with the energy market in shambles realistic is president 0 rum opposes ambition and business plan for 25 percent renewables in the country. and china loses its taste for european companies the number and chinese takeovers dropped sharply is that because western governments are kept wary or just beijing simply prefer to invest. in africa this is. about more coming up in just a few minutes of care cartel 1st i'm sorry kelly in berlin thanks for watching have a great day.
