to. shake up. welcome to the program. authorities in hong kong have begun targeting some of the territories most prominent pro-democracy activists protest leaders joshua wong agnes char were among those arrested by police today and then released on bail 3 pro-democracy lawmakers were also detained as part of an intensifying crackdown on the protest movement that has seen violent clashes hundreds of arrests and the recent arrival of troops from mainland china. emerging from court defiant joshua wrong and agnes child present themselves to the waiting media with

a message for china and the world. we show no surrender and i urge international communities to send a clear message to a president sending ships or using emergency order this is not the way out we will continue our fight no matter how they are rest of course if you are. the pair were arrested early on friday and charged with organizing and participating in an unauthorized assembly those charges related to a demonstration back in june when protesters blockaded police headquarters but activists say the arrests are an intimidation tactic ahead of a planned rally this weekend one that has now been banned by authorities. police deny any link. really to the allegation that we didn't hide our arrest is totally false. or indeed the public all the events every weekend in the past

2 months or. so making his arrest today does not make any implication basically millions of people have joined the protest since they began in june over a controversial extradition. violence has escalated in recent weeks police have deployed rubber bullets batons and tear gas while protesters have thrown rocks and molotov cocktails last weekend police used water cannon for the 1st time over 850 people have been arrested but protesters have vowing to continue with an expanded list of demands including democratic elections and independent inquiry into the police response i'm struck think charges against all those arrested since the movement has no official leader has activists say that high profile detentions will not stop them when the government go hard that we go hard so the hong kong people are seeing really clearly so we urge the government please respond to the 5 the

amounts as soon as possible although. otherwise the people may be using some more radical ways or more hard the way to respond to the response of the god to the test of that protection comes on saturday when activists decide whether to defy the police ban on their march with neither side backing down and maybe further confrontation ahead i did only correspond to charlotte charleston peerless in hong kong and sent us this assessment. small protests like this one follow another man meant to stay in this protest movement these people are chanting 5 a freedom fighter for hong kong now some 900 people have been arrested over the last 13 weeks but the sweep of the high profile activists over the last 24 hours have left many of these protesters shaken but it's also caused a dark shadow on the days ahead a big march had been planned for tomorrow but organizers had to cool it off after

it was banned by police some protests is scrambling to find legal ways to circumvent the ban but there will be those who are still willing to take to the streets tomorrow bag-o. fueled by the arrests today undaunted by police warnings that taking part in summer is protests will be breaking the law with a general strike planned for monday and tuesday it seems these arrests have done little to suggest this protest movements. and show just reporting from hong kong arrests being watched closely in other parts of the world was at a meeting of e.u. foreign ministers in helsinki and that's the blocks top diplomats reaction to the situation hong kong appears to be escalating there were arrests of pro-democracy activists who have now been bailed a bit evidently the authorities are trying to prevent more protests i understand this was discussed briefly here today can you talk about your concern for that both

you and mr harvester has anything to thank you definitely developments and you know kong especially for this last hour and extraordinary war and. we expect. to respect the freedom of assembly expression and associations as well as obviously the right of people to demonstrate peacefully and we will continue to follow very closely as either peony union but also include the nation with the member states. now for a look at some of the stories making news around the world now the world health organization says congo's of death toll has now reached 2000 with another 1000 people infected with the disease that makes it the 2nd largest outbreak on record meanwhile officials in neighboring uganda have confirmed a new case of the bowl after a child tested positive after arriving from congo. florida's governor is urging residents to prepare to leave before hardy cannot dorian hits the stage where the next week currently a category 2 storm it's forecast to become

your alternative for germany is expected to make big gains in 2 states elections on sunday in saxony their polling just behind i'm going to machall center right c.d.u. and things look even worse for the governing party in brandenburg the social democrats so here's a look at the state of play in these 2 key states. 2 eastern german states are going to the polls and the federal government is holding its breath as the surge of the far right populist a.f.d. could really shake things up saxony dresden is the capital germany's eastern most state has about $4000000.00 residents and is doing rather well economically with the auto industry and high tech but saxony has also developed a thriving right wing scene a year ago right wing extremists occupied the streets of chemists for days violent crime motivated by right wing extremism is at a record high. saxony is governed by

a grand coalition of center right c.d.u. and center left s.p.d. on the americans party the c.d.u. has led the government here since german reunification it may remain the largest party but is said to lose votes especially to the far right populist a.f.d. and state premier may struggle to put together a new coalition. i'm a democrat i'm against a minority government i've also said i won't coalesce with the f.t. or the left party for reasons of policy and personnel the rest of us will have to be able to talk to each other and be able to form a government as democrats. brandenburg potsdam is the capital the state surrounds berlin and has about 2500000 inhabitants branded burgas also doing well economically if it weren't for the late night problem the mining apparatus may grind to a halt soon germany plans to phase out the coal industry which many people here rely on for a livelihood in brandenburg the s.p.d.

has also been in power since reunification it's currently in coalition with the left party but surveys suggest that it's unlikely that the 2 parties can continue to govern together for. work flat out for 161820 hours of being so that the far right populist don't become the most powerful party here. because the s.p.d. and the a.f.d. are neck and neck in brandenburg but the far right populists are unlikely to take power none of the other parties wants to join a coalition with them for years the have to has benefited from feelings of insecurity and of being neglected in the east it has taken on the slogans of the civil rights movement and former communist east germany berlin grand coalition partners the c.d.u. and the s.p.d. especially are looking to the state elections with apprehension. the s.p.d. is suffering from dwindling support and membership and the c.d.u.

is no longer getting through to their core voters in the east not a good sign for america grand coalition. the likely winners of the state elections apart from the f.t. will be the greens their forecast to get record results in both saxony and brandenburg. the big w.'s the chief political adviser helicopter has been in the state of brandenburg gate in the mood in the small city of koenig's was the house and on the final day of campaigning. the latest poll suggests that it will be a triumph or a victory for the far right if tea it's triumph if it manages to be the social democrat party which has been in government here since reunification for the past 3 years and it is a victory and it is a loser anywhere near what is being taken to roundabouts 20 percent that makes it much harder to form a coalition here in front of and it could have ripple effects for the s.p.d.

it is partly government with angela merkel's new c.p.u. party you know and if it was office not a. breakdown because of the lexer results more of that to go listen and find the ones home and office more couldn't come to an early end. not so much yet and beyond this weekend marks 80 years since the beginning of world war 2 and now in poland going to growing demands for germany to pay reparations of several 100000000000 euros to compensate for the devastation caused by the nazi regime the topic is likely to be raised on sunday when joan present from maya takes part in commemorations in warsaw and the issue is creating tensions between germans and poles. who are so small town a few days before the 80th anniversary of the start of the 2nd world war. walk through every day on his way home from work the 29 year old german has lived in

poland for 5 years he actively supports german polish economic cooperation but he didn't expect this particular debate topic to resurface. i was surprised when i heard about poland's demands for german reparations and i was seriously shocked when i saw that many of my friends young poles who don't sympathise with the government saying that they could understand why they got. once this is. why they feel that germany has not yet dealt sufficiently with what they did to poland. old town is a symbol of german guilt the city was completely destroyed during the 2nd world war and then rebuilt without any help from germany. and now after almost 80 years berlin has been handed the bill

a parliamentary committee has been working on a draft for the government so they can finally put this topic to rest even though for decades they have already considered it closed. and doesn't like the fact we're talking about reparations we understand that. but for us. it is an important topic. at the moment we are still calculating the exact reparations sops we want to present this to berlin very soon. but berlin doesn't seem open to this presentation so far they don't even want to talk about it the topic is considered legally closed. it's in the government hasn't even sent us an official message board but if they do then the legal situation requires that we return to the treaties of not in $53.00 and the 2 plus 4 treaty of 990 the law considers these claims as regulated and therefore nonexistent or. in fact

in 1953 communist poland renounced reparations from the then communist east germany so berlin suggested symbolic gestures instead here for example in the middle of the city there are plans for a memorial site for polish victims of the german occupation during world war 2 to be built later mousepad the young german living in warsaw actively supports this idea he believes that such political gestures could make the upcoming historical debate easier on guns which do you think this would be a very important sign of compassion. it would be a symbol of empathy for the poles and a sign that we as germans should never forget what happened. and this is why i will be here on sunday when the presidents of poland and germany remember the 80th anniversary of the german invasion. as

football and german league champions of byron munich announced that the former goalkeeper of a car will join. club's board from january will take over as chief executive in 2022 when col hines room and they're going to ties a common 8 bundles league titles as a player in the 2001 champions league titles was a mainstay of the team for 14 seasons since retiring in 2008 the 5050 year old has worked mainly as a t.v. pundit. let's talk about this but with dave broderick from a d w sports welcome dave is all of the come on the right man to steer by and to more glory i mean that's kind of a tough question to answer just because he has no managerial experience so it's hard to know exactly what to expect from them then again that's sort of the way byron does it take players where legends for the club who may be you know immediately after retiring or a little time in between and they give them

a chance to really run things at the top so as far as past experience we don't have that but if his time as a player is any indication i mean he was really intense player he would run through a wall to win he do anything for a victory so you assume he's going to bring a lot of those features into how he manages the team ok and becomes not going to be only new figo on the bottom board only bonus will be replaced as president when he leaves even though ben why is he going yeah i mean that news was honestly a bit of a bombshell it was mainly puzzling just because of the timing heinous actually in 2014 served some time in jail for tax evasion and he's only been out for 3 years or it seemed a bit odd that he would go through all that he would make his return and then. after that just kind of give it up but he mentioned himself a couple different reasons for stepping down the 1st was wanting to spend more time

with his family and the 2nd was thought it was a good opportunity to bring in his replacement. who used to be the c.e.o. of a didas and also he mentioned specifically something that happened at last year's annual general meeting where some fans who were disappointed with what they saw as a kind of dictatorial way he was running the club actually booed him so let's hear from him about what really pushed this factor. i know is to me the events at the a.g.m. last year made me think for the 1st time about what would happen if i was no longer in the role. but it just gave me something to think about. ok so aside from his 3 years in jail spent dead nearly 50 years a bayani one role or another so how big a loss is he going to be yeah i mean it's hard to understate it this moment is

a true changing of the guard between her and us and ruminate both leaving the club at around the same time. and especially he kind of personified byron he was brash he was arrogant he made some really crazy statements to the press sometimes but he always managed to back it up with wins. and i think he and ruminate over really driving forces behind bahrain's dominance in the past decades i think it's going to take quite a while to really see what they look like without the 2 of them there how the club maybe changes direction but it could be a moment of serious doubt or danger for bahrain for them to really continue with their success but for the short term they've just renewed the contract of star striker robert rubin dosti they have a boatload of star players to work into the team i think for better or for worse at least in the near term they're going to be just the good old byron matter as dominant as always dave thank you for. for now
