this is the news live from hong kong we're fast for another weekend of pro-democracy demonstrations but after the recent protests were mobbed by clashes with police activists saw singing for democracy also on the program. the country famous for its food exports our faces a food crisis i hope this runaway inflation has made food increasingly expensive and it's a thing you see rather the next month's election. i

feel gail welcome to the program. ok preparing for another weekend of pro-democracy demonstrations some recent protests have been bought by violent clashes with police but on the day of the chinese mid-autumn festival when it's traditionally gathered to gaze at the mood of the moon cakes activists protesting peacefully they've taken to singing a new democracy ounce of gold glory to hong kong i'm forming human chains in the hills. ah. ah ah. ah they're still singing their protest anthem glory to hong kong and they didn't stop for one of the most important celebrations in the chinese calendar the mid autumn festival . activists are forming human chains they using the event as a way to keep their movement in the spotlight. to see

some of them took to the hills of the city to shine laser pens released lanterns with go to slogans and to sing the anthem. of the but they also probation demonstrators trying to make their voices heard was their version china keep going i want to show. like emotion and my loyalty to my country my mother the country. tensions are running high between the 2 sides. so far only one of the 5 demands of the pro-democracy protesters has been met the government scrapped the controversial extradition law last week. but demonstrators are also demanding that hong kong's leader carry lyme steps down they want an inquiry into police brutality the more than $1300.00 arrests have to be released and greater democratic freedoms.

well let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world is a prime minister. has introduced new legislation to further tighten the country's gun laws 51 people were killed in mass shootings at 2 mosques in christ church 6 months ago a ban on military style rifles followed immediately these latest polls will increase penalties for violations and make it easier to track. check state attorneys have dropped criminal investigations into the prime minister under a babbage he's been accused of a multi-million fold related to the u. european union subsidies accusations the biggest challenge to mr babbitt she's a political career has always denied any wrongdoing. or business of. foreign policy chief among greeley has announced an additional 30000000 euros in a full colombia bay funds are intended to help the latin american country deal with the influx of venezuelans migrants has taken in 101400000 venezuelans

playing economic and political strife. and the. top story of the 40 the 15th week i think it is of protest in hong kong will go to the test chinese territory correspondent. welcome it is the original piece of legislation that brought processes on to the streets is now dead so why are they still protesting. one a lot of things after 3 months especially the reaction of the police have angered people you know already been a few weeks that tension was. no one. there on. the fence no i think he was off the law i mean but the police need not be mounting an investigation in. the police and there is no on so many

people cover to solidarity that has come out that they are maybe it's also fear that. that might be a backlash a crackdown on democracy movement so this is why people continue to feel they have to chief enough to stop now and these protests are. a major shall a day of a major chinese celebration explain to us the significance of the celebration and what's today's light show is about. yeah mid autumn festival is one of the biggest celebrations in the calendar it's a tradition holiday where people go out with. lanterns and. have seized the opportunity to decline one of the city's not sure of the city's mountains with their torches and speech and i chilled to emphasize to my senses basically any occasion in this city is now being

seized by the protesters to make their case. again is the rather joyful day of protests people are walking through the wood. and the atmosphere of kowtow thing although a lot more people and they're making jokes then imitating their broad views because you might have just heard passing by. and they're feeding this like a joke to. make that case. also rallies and also being house by pro child. how much support do those. rallies have. yeah that have been several some of the big ones have drawn several tens of thousands of people this is still considerably less than disco democritus

the demonstration that many of you mine a similar situation some of really noticeable in this 50 clip isn't shown that the majority no longer than if i had to do most of the code to mock or see protest on the 4th even though the move would have only gone more violence to have the full clashes support with the pro-democracy protests that. is built there and the majority still is on their side. in hong kong thank you. very much. the people in tunisia of voting and i snap presidential election on sunday a poll was originally shuttle to take place in what it was brought forward after the death of the president. s. absi $26.00 candidates are taking parts including abdel fatah these islamist. and i mean you have president prime minister yousef tunisia's that is the

birthplace of the 2011 arab spring. today it's held up as the only nation in the region to successfully manage the transition to democracy but it is still beset by problems such as high unemployment and poverty. it's election time in the rural village of minute young politician bob is trying to convince people here to go out and vote but many farmers a skeptical politician. that was not a man i don't trust politicians are they all lied to us none of them told the truth cheated us the farmers more than others and so far we haven't had a single government that kept selection promises. total house i just above understands the frustration of many changes ians are disappointed with politics now more than ever the economic crisis is causing problems for people and some blame democracy. several presidential candidates openly in favor of return to

authoritarian rule to news is the only country that introduced a parliamentary system after the arab spring 9 years ago democracy is now at stake that's why how joe wants to fight for it and i want to see it go by you know what i'm going to talk to a lot of young people i'm not that old i enjoy it i tell them how much we used to dream about democracy i ask them what they dream of today and how we can make their dreams come true mr bob mazuma had one of the most people are probably dreaming of getting a good joke about one 3rd of young chinese ins are unemployed. especially university graduates a most of them want to emigrate. in the inhuman of the 2 things are important the presidential candidates must 1st recognize this problem and secondly actually solve it and if we can't meet the expectations of our young people soon it will be a serious threat to our country and you are right. instead of working toward strengthening

the economy politicians only care about themselves says coulter darcy for years she's been at the forefront of the youth movement and now she wants to boycott the election. but said bin if i found the ethics of the political class very frustrating it's all about internal power struggles and accusations that frightens me. nearly 90 percent of china's in surveyed say they're dissatisfied with politics but not everyone has given up more and more people have registered to vote in the last few weeks perhaps this is also due to the chair initiative which was launched by the president where young activists advertise the parliamentary system to other young people. like him but he made a comment that then we ask people what they would do if they were in charge then we tell them where the election is important people need to understand what the president does want to parliament does then politics you're no longer the mystery to them that i used to shop show me about my mission up shall i go pick up the wall

. one topic that continues to puzzle is the outcome of the elections 26 candidates compete with very different profiles and goes according to polls no individual party can count on a majority the 2 top drunk candidates will probably have to face a runoff fight. let's get more years of coming election then with journalists. who co-founded the news website. dot com welcome to day we heard in the report there lots of cynicism about politics and yet more and more people registering to vote all these elections expected to be free and fair. oh well unfortunately we're seeing quite a lot of violations so far a lot of money that's gone into the political campaigns and we won't get a full sense of bad really until afterwards but with 26 different campaigns and particularly a lot of money going to social media it's really beyond the capacity of the higher

election body to really monitor all of this you know speaking to an official from there saying there where some of the election violations so far in terms of money in terms of collecting nominations for some of the candidates who are running now and that they've they've sent them to the courts but they know that the court system actually is going to take quite a while right now it's really just a sense of trying to make sure that the elections go smoothly as possible i think that's really the priority and also to make sure that there are some of the just legitimacy of these elections i mean you heard in the report there's a lot of people who are quite disillusioned with politics in general. even though registration is up slightly as it is and as a result of a drive to register people including by the powerful unions the you didn't say but they actually turned out ok and talk us through a couple of the leading candidates among states 26. sure well i want 26 candidates

out i can tell you that there's quite a few that could make it through to the 2nd round if no candidate gets a majority which is very very likely they'll go to a 2nd round or a runoff between the top 2 candidates so it's difficult to see exactly who will be going into the 2nd round but a lot of people are putting their money on up to morrow and not their candidate there is a victim's really tries to to sort of represent and more of an old regime profile these the defense minister as well and then of course there's a car we who is currently in prison but he's a media mogul who is very popular he has on his t.v. station and his charity program that has as gathered and quite a lot of popularity. we may end up seeing him get to the 2nd round even though he's still in jail yet and there is the presumption that this was politically motivated or do people actually think he's done something wrong well there was

a case that was filed against him in 2016 by a very well known and generally well respected anticorruption n.g.o.s actually it's the local branch of transparency international they had brought a case against him as several other presidential candidates and at the time but they don't even really acted upon recently so people do see that it may have been a political move in this last moment we're talking to you thank you for joining us our father. from tunis here in news website. dot com that's what untamed one of the world's top food exports but at home growing number of people are going hungry the problem because of a runaway inflation because of runaway inflation more and more argentinians can no longer afford the food they need food prices have become a major you had of next month's presidential election protesters demanding that the government declared emergency as the poor struggle to free themselves because pollen to 100. reports. 60 year old housewife.

lives in a hut without running water in the city of science pena in the northern argentinian province of choco she has 11 children to live with her and there's also her 4 year old grandson benjamin he is recovering from severe malnutrition. and he said often it is very difficult to buy the things you need. she needs between 4 and 5 euros for their daily food needs she says the money comes from her children's allowance her daughter's disability pension and the wages her son earns whenever he can pick up work but there is often not enough money. and yes my son does odd jobs and gets paid in the afternoon sometimes we have money but sometimes we don't elbow brings a grandchild to the conan a center for children's nutrition and provides help with food and medical care

having a peralta heads the institute he says cases of malnutrition are getting more serious since the economic crisis. over the past year we've had 6 cases of severe malnutrition and about 15 moderate cases we already have a larger number of children with these diagnoses this year argentina's inflation rate is running at 55 percent and unemployment is high the poverty rate is now at 35 percent so the winner of the october presidential election will have to shoulder the burden of boosting the economy. a part of the world to dry out at such an alarming rate and threatening your food supply is that the united nations is holding a conference about it the conference is on combating desertification and it ends today in delhi participants have been working on a long term plan to restore degraded land in more than 100 countries deforestation intensive farming and flawed irrigation methods have led to huge areas of formerly

productive land turning into deserts brandon says professor of environment and climate to policy at the very school of public policy comes more about this welcome to the w. how do irrigation schemes which is supposed to bring water to dry lands caused desertification. well one of the things we're seeing is a lot of changes in how we do agriculture and so where we used to have small scale farms with a lot of her eye in the kinds of plants that were one planted we're now seeing larger scale activities where you're irrigating the land in order to make it more productive but the problem is that you're drawing a lot of water from the ground well sources or from rivers it depends where you are but you're using so much water and often in a very inefficient way that it's evaporating and so in the end what you're doing is

you're taking natural water systems emptying them out and in the process the land is drying out ok so what sorts of things can therefore be done to allow farmers to grow food on land that has turned that well one of the things they're trying to do is a couple things are trying to do one is to to replant and to slowly introduce different species that require less water and slowly regreasing areas that have been so degraded that they're no longer really productive but another thing which i think is quite exciting is they're trying to look at how can you take water systems that have been really degraded where the ecological system around it can be rejuvenated and that you change acar culture into a more small scale sustainable kind of agriculture that fits better with the traditional kinds of agriculture that people of these communities were involved in

if you but that sounds fine a theoretical level but it sounds like it's going to cost big business money because you're talking about the downscaling instead of instead of upscaling which is what they do so this is this is not just this is not just the farms problem this is a national government problem it's hugely a national governments problem something we haven't looked at enough also from a climate change perspective is how changing agricultural land is contributing to large scale. degradation of the land a 3rd of india is degraded land and when you're looking at the number of people who will have to be fed in the future if you're losing this land for long term agricultural use because you're using big agriculture then in the end you're losing a lot of money too you don't have a lot of migrants are going to have a lot of hungry people so we have to we have to look to the long the long term future rather than the short term profits and professor marandi from the virgin school of public policy thank you so much thank you sport

now as there is back after the international break table toppers obvious vibes hosted by noon on saturday live see you push for the title this season while defending champions of enjoyed a stuttering start to the compact by a coach that niko kovac said he is expecting a hot stance in logic. blemish free is one way to describe union august month start as. coach he's mine 3 from 3 league games his team conceding just twice. but i expect no grand master plan against by an anonymous man it's a simple matter of balance that it's illusions of experiment you know generally speaking a binary team that loves having the bull and a lot of possession other teams or in most cases they have more position than the opponents so we have a defensive task ahead of us but we can't neglect our attack. if there's one team that knows a lot about attack it's by on they're still on cloud 9 after their 6 month

hammering off mind last match day despite that drought you could call that she's expecting big competition this season he says it's a 4 horse race for the been missing the title i. need been like 2 from the foolishness besides like to see a guy also have to mention dortmund and les because while they were all out there last year i listened and i think this year so it will play out amongst the 4 of us we know what daunce is always a hot dogs against life saving. like 6 will need to push themselves like never before a win for an august month site will stretch their lead at the top of the table and strengthen they have big for a 1st. title. tossings very exciting that's metal from they don't use forces here to get us fired up for the weekend welcome max so 1st versus 2nd in the bundesliga on the saturday how significant would a leipzig wind be they selling in the season well it's early days filming only

matched a full but these types of games you can set an early marker and light sake have been near the top since getting promoted to the bundesliga but they've never really cracked into that title race really and they can basically show that they have title winning credentials by beating by and by and on the other hand still need to gel i think despite beating months 61 in the previous match day they had a lot of late transfer business so a lot of players still getting used to the system and i think in a match like this it could be dangerous for them we can look at light 6 managers you leonardo's ones record against buying which isn't usually impressive so far all those saying that he's previously done that with a hoffenheim team that is markedly less quality than than the team these matters are now light sick. and on the other hand bion they will not have all of their stars available because felipe could genius who's come in so much fanfare he's only

come back from the usa on thursday having played for brazil that said how much of a difference has been made to leipsic well he said early on that he wanted to basically keep the culture but introduce a bit more possession into the mix what lights it have done in the past have been extremely attacking they play a full 222 formation which essentially means 4 defenders to midfielders and then basically 4 front men for attackers who all into change and cause havoc for the opposition he's kept that formation but he's managed to get them to play a little bit more possession based less of the counter-attack in that they've been used to in the previous seasons and we saw that in some moments this season already but the key for them would be just to be consistent dortmund so by the end they came under fire after a defeat in their last match. they've got a tough test against leverkusen on saturday can they get themselves back on track well i think a lot of people were very early to dismiss them off of that last one young bellina promoted side who on a very dangerous side really i think that's

a bit premature dortmund have shown in the 1st 2 matches of the season that they have a lot of talent they've added quite a lot of town to this squad and also there is one man who has been on fire for them englishman jaden sanchez only 19 years old he has scored or assisted in every game so far this season and since the beginning of last season he's actually the player across the 5 top leagues in europe who's assisted most goals so he's ahead of the likes of leon messi in that category he's signed a new contract and i think litigation on the other hand a very attacking side who have been put into that title mix by opponents i think that's early because that defends is lacking they hell they were held to a mill mill drole last match day which was their 1st clean sheet since april so they'll have to sort that out before they talk about the title next medal from that the w.c. both thank you. fighting behaves i'm
