a nearby rocket testing site involved nuclear materials. and this story will be made on wednesday when this woman to find the referees a major men's match in a european competition the chelsea liverpool clash in the u.a.e. for the super cop. are a layla her rocker very warm welcome to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and to our viewers around the world we begin this broadcast with that with those chaotic scenes rather that have unfolded at hong kong's international airport where dozens of riot police clash with pro-democracy demonstrators thousands of protesters returned to the airport for a 2nd day in a row causing all departure flights to be canceled. thanks chief executive warren

protest says that the city is on what she called a path of no return i it's shutdown day 2 i was on this serious anger from protesters towards the police i with protesters clearly losing their cool i. was demonstrators claim that this man was an undercover policeman i was and shortly afterwards he's attacked i was c eventually medics secure his release. was was worth the protests continue to apologize to frustrated travelers was

a side of no i was i carry lamb hong kong's leader is fearing or threatening the worst. hong kong society has become insecure unstable and violent no matter who's perpetrating violence it will push hong kong down a path of no return but why you know it will put hong kong society in a very anxious and dangerous situation like him. she was then harangued by journalists who want to know whether she's following beijing's orders speaking to d.w. news pro-democracy activist joshua one thinks beijing won't send in the people's liberation army standing you know into a hall call might just result in the damage on hong kong calling me at it would not only trick at this contact of hong kong people but also record high current y.p. if they stuck this by because does dock. financial market life 1st

a serious crime when p.l.o. a were sent through a hall called protest sold it's crystal clear now well what we just pay attention to all call they should not let people walk alone. but images from across the border suggest a showdown a visible military build up just 30 kilometers away over the border in stands in the question now is is this just a threat from beijing or will the chinese military actually move in. and felix at least spent 6 years as china correspondent for the berlin daily detoxed sayto he is with me here in the city here to talk about these very dramatic developments in hong kong let's pick up where that report left off of that video released by chinese authorities a build up of military vehicles along the border with hong kong has a lot of observers very worried my question to you because all eyes are now on

beijing that's where the real power lies when it comes to any possible future intervention i think really prepared to set boots on the ground while they're threatening they're threatening but i don't believe at this moment that they want to do this because actually beating doesn't want pictures which would remind the world of 1989 the massacre of 10 and then. trashing the china democracy democracy movement. china is celebrating the seventy's and diversity on october 1st and feed all want terrible pictures before that because this is such a symbolic year for chinaman all these anniversaries are taking place all right now . if china were to move or intervene how much of a game changer with that be i mean would it be a tipping point this would be. a catastrophe. of course but also for china

because so far china hong kong still has autonomy state for another 28 years it's supposed to have something a little at least a little bit similar to western democracy that's what. form of statesman once promised to the hong kong people and so far the promise is still. the promise the still. yes still valid but i wonder you know from the get go was this an untenable situation this whole idea of one country 2 systems you know can hong kong retain its unique character i mean really be swallowed up by china basically i think what nobody expected back then when they negotiated this contract is that the whole society what change i mean especially when i look at the young people they are pretty much raised as westerners they believe in democracy they

share the. democratic beliefs and they're more similar to people from europe or north america than similar to people in china i mean in china and this is the problem they they don't. they don't trust neither the hong kong government nor the china government and everyone expected that after food in this 50 years hong kong people would grow together with the chinese but actually what happened is the opposite is the opposite has happened. how important is hong kong from mainland china it is still important not as important as it used to be i mean just looking at the numbers that used to be. almost 20 percent of the trade with the rest of the world between china and the rest of the world was going. through hong kong now it's less than 3 percent so already by this you can see that the hong kong.

importance of hong kong is much less than 20 years ago and and there are cities just across the border sion gen which was mentioned she has a more successful economy knowledge more power you growth rates in hong kong and holiday so it's getting harder for hong kong felix where do you see this going i mean both sides are just so entrenched in their respective positions do you feel that beijing is also partially to blame by how it handled the situation for its spiraling out of control absolutely i mean 5 years ago the people off hunger were already protesting wanting more democracy and it was a peaceful protest back then and beaching and the hong kong government did nothing since then made it even worth and now we see that the especially young people they are frustrated and that's why the turn out into violence to felix

a leader who was the china correspondent for the berlin daily the toughest sayto thank you for a thank you. russian authorities tell people to evacuate after a rocket explosion caused radiation levels to spike only to cancel the order just mere hours later adding to the mystery already surrounding the accident russia's state weather agency says the explosion which claimed the lives of 5 nuclear engineers last week caused radiation levels in the city if severed off in skits to rise by up to 16 times of normal levels. and so we asked our moscow bureau chief for your shadow how the accident so was being reported by the russian media and this is what he described. well russian media also have very little information about what happened exactly not as a bar to the accident itself nor about of the danger for people in the area where
