hong kong so the latest we can cross to hong kong now and our correspondent there charlotte charleston pill thanks for joining us demonstrators are turning out in spite of the ban on protests this weekend what kind of police presence are you seeing on the streets. where we're standing at the moment there are very few police on the streets here but that's not unusual for this time of day off so often the case that we will see more police those riot police that they scenes of take out later on in the evening and it still is very peaceful at the moment we are seeing images of of riot police elsewhere particularly guarding government buildings that have been images as well of water cannon on standby as i'm sure you remember they were used for the 1st time last sunday in this 13 week protest movement so despite the fact that we aren't seeing huge amounts of police on the streets there is still a feeling that things of very tense that presence has been felt here that's because

they've been all of the social media today they gave a press conference yesterday making it very clear that this protest is an authorized and therefore illegal so things all extremely tense say there is almost a sense that this could be the calm before the storm particularly off to all those arrests were made yesterday of those high profile figures we had a joshua long a high profile figure in the pro-democracy movement those legislators as well as signal it seems worth darcy's that if we can arrest people like that we can arrest these protesters as well for taking part in an illegal demonstrations. unauthorized illegal so what's the risk protesters are taking by demonstrating today. who protesters have taken part in band marches previously but this does feel very different in light of those arrests yesterday and of course those warnings from police they do face arrest potentially for taking part in this parade as

a number of people that we've spoken to they seem to get the feeling that there is safety in numbers a lot of people are on the streets once again today they've also told us that while they are afraid of repercussions that their fear of beijing's encroachments on their rights here is even stronger so they feel like they need to come out on the streets today but it's not just the needle through. yes of course that that facing one of the reasons organizes cooled off the march that was planned for today is because they will say said priest these protesters feel a visit to have a physical threat as well we've seen massive scenes of violence in recent days a number of recent weeks a number of protest as i have been has projectiles from both sides being thrown in that that are extremely dangerous so there is a risk that the people take to the streets once again today. and kill in hong kong for us thank you charlotte. now let's bring you up to date with some of the other stories making news around the world at this hour war monitors say airstrikes on syria's northwestern region have stopped after

a year after her 1st school strike outside the swedish parliament to back is now widely treated like a celebrity. so she's less well known in the us the media presence at this demonstration suggests her profile could grow fat a he if he. also paid a visit to the united nations on friday why she's due to speak as a climate summit in september as an impromptu meeting with general assembly president memory a espinosa to back said she hopes the summit would result in a concrete plan not just us i think you want to come and bring me some kind of breaking point i don't know where people start to realize what is actually going on and. so we have a holiday expectation. and therefore the missiles to deliver. the sentiments those protesting with cameron i mean that it

and we'll continue right by that here on. india has published the final version of its controversial citizenship list in the northeastern state of assam the list effectively renders nearly 2000000 people statelets residents gathered on saturday to see if their names were on the national register of citizens to be included people had to somehow prove that they had come to us and before march 24th 1971 the day before a neighboring bangladesh went to war with pakistan many of those affected have been living in asa their whole lives. for more let's bring indeed correspondent mr giles fall she travelled to us and a few days ago and met with those most worried about the new n.r.c. nisha now that $2000000.00 people have not been included in that list what are their biggest concerns for example might they actually be forced to leave the

country. well michael from now a small amount of good news for these 2000000 people is that the government has a show on that until all the legal processes are exhausted until all the appeals process is i exhausted nobody would be declared a foreign no nobody would be deported nobody would be detained now these people can appeal to what i was ordered not tribunals then about $100.00 of these an asylum right now just 100 to make notes for dope and people they're planning to add $900.00 more $200.00 in the next month to south but often if the far north tribunals turns your way there is of course a reprieve to the high court and eventually although we opt for the supreme court but it's also important to know what the people who have been left off if they were all of the left off from the drop off list which is very likely that all already gone to a very expensive because process many of those left out are educated and from

a poor economic backgrounds of this is already been a very expensive process for them and it is very difficult that they would have the means to appeal all the way to the supreme court to send those promising some kind of need to leave but it isn't quite clear exactly how this would be distributed so it shouldn't just be just in a brief period of time here very shortly could the list end up separating families it sounds like what you're saying is not immediately. yes. yes michael not immediately but all the people who have been left off from the drop off it has been found that they have been in many families where the names of 2 people who were there but the billions of time people but not their one of the families i met of 33 people from people who were left off she was left behind so depending on what action is taken there is a good chance that families could be separated because of this critics say hindu nationalist b.g.p. party is using this census to target members of the muslim minority or these claims

true. but michel the government will tell you that there are hindu names as well as muslim names on this list however activists and people on the ground have found that the most of the names are muslim and bengali speaking muslims because they're more suspected of the bombing libya she gets from me if any country the other thing to keep in mind is that another law that has been passed in the indian parliament says that kinda would have the right to be brought onto the citizenship list often doubt that they should be gone just sort of the ships by nature of being hindu so there's a chance that even those who are left off the list on the hindu might get the citizenship back meter so it's pretty safe to say that this could end up with tension the dog getting muslims more. should just fall thank you so much. germany's far right political party known as the alternative for germany is

expecting big gains in 2 state elections on sunday one of those elections will be in saxony this state with the highest population density in eastern germany 4000000 people live there and it's also the region with eastern germany strongest economy the big employer there is the car industry and the area around the state capital dresden is also home to multiple technology companies but far right violence is a problem and sanctioning incidents rose nearly 50 percent between 20172018 our correspondent kate brady is on the scene and sent us this report. a lot of stuff on the campaign trail for germany's big tent parties in saxony and dressed in the social democrats and unlike say the conservative c.d.u. both currently in a coalition governing saxony but that could be about to change both the c.d.u. and the s.p.d. are expected to suffer significant losses s.p.d. lead candidate martin do lish attributes the losses to the upheaval in german

society especially since the 2 geminis united in 1993 american on call we're seeing a different kind of division in this country it's no longer only between poor and rich east and west men and women as a share of the divisions emerging between fear and assurance hatred and trust between those at the top and those down below which is so to speak being noticed that we have to overcome these divisions the midst of it and then as these aspired to move up in but is largely these divisions which have driven so many vices in saxony to the far right alternative to germany a.f.d. that currently polling in 2nd position such a result would be felt even a federal level signaling a decrease in power if angela merkel's fragile coalition government keep him with a party tradition sex and his conservative state premier refused to mention the a.f.d. by name you know this wish to. we have to take a clear position against those who talk down everything those who don't appreciate

our liberal democrats are going to that we have opposed this resolutely and should not in despite the expected losses at the polls on sunday the c.d.u. is still set to come out on top but continue in a coalition with the s.p.d. is looking unlikely. but the drama in saxony could well now take place in the weeks after sunday's election when angela merkel's conservatives here in saxony might well need to get creative with that coalition building with maybe even 2 or 3 other parties as michele freshman saxon's current say crimea has ruled out forming a coalition with the far right a.f.p. by the way i'm going merkel's already shaky government back in berlin is preparing food losses right now it's time to face the music. before we go we'll bring you some pictures from the tree and ali fireworks well championships the competition got underway friday early in the olympic stadium 6
