a rough weekend with key regional elections at least 2 german states are expected to boost the strength of the country's far right f.t. party. i'm like a local welcome to the program we begin in hong kong where thousands of protesters are gathering for the 13th straight weekend in defiance of an official ban on protests and strong warnings from police that marchers risk being prosecuted police have fired tear gas at crowds outside the government headquarters they've also used water cannons with blue dye which stained protesters some of whom had lobbed petrol bottles today's march began in a stadium and was called a religious gathering an attempt to circumvent a ban on protests. it follows the arrests of key opposition figure heads including

joshua wang who has since been released today also marks the 5th anniversary of a decision by china's ruling communist party against full democratic elections in hong kong. for the latest we're joined on the line by our correspondent in hong kong shelly charleston pill charlotte thanks again for joining us the situation is clearly escalating what are you seeing on the ground where you are. and where a few streets away right now from that is that council with a dramatic scenes on folded in the last hour or so where we are at the by the situation has calmed down but of course there is a lot of tension hey there are still a lot of people on the street betty this sunday late that are around but there's a pretty good take their youth. do not allow the people. in the palm frond please take. you outside to lead with the count just

a short time ago. finding another occasion to gather so it appears that in the evening the young. kids could get you over the coming hours now we source for the basement just a short time ago that was when when they were using they find can and they find. the ideas behind them just to try to. change and i get the quiet. huge cloud the real thing coming to. grips with a lot of. people high profile figures here in the part of. the council while i was arrested. yesterday people took that as effective to say well if those people can be arrested i don't want to take to the streets today take part of what is now at the launches on the basis of. so

what kind of risk are protesters taking by coming forward today especially given the fact that the protest was not authorized reproved by the words. well beyond the fact that they very serious legal risks they can be counted taking pot in the donald the right price and that something that repeat that please that repeated time that it go out at a press conference yesterday then on which they've made it seem to quit that anyone who is on the street today is breaking the door that is that legal risk there's also today the physical threat that these protesters the facing any want to get them did away on the front line between protesters on one side and the police on the other. being in the middle of all. had trouble coming crisis is that what you see many today is that on the other side you could take us a cab but it can't keep making the danger if they hit protesters and they behead

with the i agree. and of course there's water cannons as well as yet we don't know of anyone who's been hurt by those were kind of even when they were you see the best time last week but that anyone who comes to the protests that are. some fill in hong kong thanks so much. let's bring you up to date with some of the other stories making news around the world at this hour the taliban have launched a major attack on the key afghan city of clintons the fighting started early saturday morning when taliban militants advanced on the city from several directions the ongoing offensive comes amid continuing talks between the group and the u.s. on ending the 18 year war in afghanistan. war monitors say airstrikes on syria's northwestern region have stopped after russian backed cease fire went into effect on friday hundreds of syrians stormed

a border crossing with turkey to protest months of violence in the region the u.n. says hundreds of civilians have been killed in the violence. well india has published the final version of its controversial citizenship list in the north eastern 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 ask them before march 24th 1971 the day before neighboring bangladesh went to war with pakistan many of those affected have been living in 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. . now that 2000000 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 michel for now a small amount of good news for these 2000000 people is that the government has a show on that until all legal processes are exhausted until all the appeals process is i exhausted nobody would be declared a foreigner no nobody would be deported nobody would be detained now these people can appeal to what i've called for not tribunals then about 100 of these an asylum right now just 100 making or 42 when people are planning to add 900 more 200 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 all the we are to 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 audio from the draw for this 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 and 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 to me should it 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 trough it has been found that have been many families where the names of 2 people were there but the claims of 10 people but not their one of the families i met off 33 people from the 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 j p party is using their senses to target members of the muslim

minority or these claims true. but michael 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 bottom of the issues from anybody 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 god just sort of the ships by nature of being hindu so there's a chance that even those who are left off the list and i hindu might get the citizenship back later so it's pretty safe to say that this could end up what they actually docketing 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 in saxony incidents rose nearly 50 percent between 20172018 our correspondent kate brady is on the scene and sent us this report. last stop 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 wish 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 poland rich east and west men and women. are other 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 and then as these aspired to move up in but it's largely these divisions which have driven so many vices in saxony to the far right alternative for 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 in keeping with party tradition sex and his conservative state premier refused to mention the gay f.t.p. . name on the speech that we have to take a position against those who talk down everything those who don't appreciate our

liberal democrats or go to we have opposed this resolutely and should not engage 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 she would all 3 of the parties as we shall cut 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 for the losses but right now it's time to face the music. football now in friday's bonus of the action or be leipzig have continued their sue purge start to the season with a win away to burst young ones and god buck verner was the hero for life straight
