were not to tear down despite beijing's offer of an open dialogue with selected activists next week some of the demonstrators here are skeptical. i'm not sure whether it will help even if we voice our opinion and even if the selected people talk about how the demands the government might not take any action so i think marching is the most practical way. if it's all we have a lot of it. after a peaceful march through an eye lying area of hong kong clashes broke out between police and a group of hardcore activists police fired tear gas of rubber bullets at the protesters who threw petrol bombs and built barricades. and the secretary didn't walls of antigovernment messages were torn dying the so-called lenin walls have become something of an emblem for the demonstrations which have been held every weekend since the end of june. protest leaders have dubbed this home calling summer

made arrests and that has triggered another angry reaction by the people who are now here. this seems like a more violent weekend than than usual in hong kong why is that. i've. been oh. yes can you tell us why the demonstrations have gotten violent so quickly . yeah i mean this is what happens every week and now that none of us are really on the brink what do you think that is the result today there was like you can hide this salt in helping out the police from a distance on some some of the police you could really see them going to be something graceful they're warning flags but the protesters also are prepared the conscious everybody expects them to have people come prepared which seemed funny of them to have those be brought in the i generated on the scene so

we showed that we we are united and that we young people are unstoppable and let's go straight to d.w. correspondent alex von naaman who is attending the opening of the u.n. it used climate summit aleksandr what exactly do the young activists hope to achieve. well the young activists they want their world leaders to act as if the world as if the world is on fire they want them to stop talking and to start taking action they want stem to and fossil fuel extraction and consumption they want them to prioritise front line communities and workers in the transition to a 100 percent renewable economy and they want them to hold countries organisations and companies most responsible for pollution accountable and there are here to talk

about that it was very telling that they opened this summit antonio terrace spoke here as well but he said that he actually wants to listen to the young people to learn how they are trying to tackle the issue what their are doing on the ground and they have been doing a lot. there we'll see what the world leaders decide to do if they hear what the young people who have been saying do you think the massive turnout at yesterday's global fridays for the future protests has increased the urgency that is sort of weighing upon them. well definitely for us media for use in general but of course we have to wait to see what will happen when hats off governments and states will come together here on monday to talk about climate change nations around the globe they recommit 2015

summits in paris to hold warming well below 2 degrees celsius compared to pre-industrial era levers but again again we have to say that according to scientists and not much has happened more needs to be done it will be interesting if that really can happen here we are here in new york in the united states and as you know the u.s. government has pulled out of the prime paris climate agreement and donald trump says well they may be climate change but he is not convinced that it is made manmade and permanent so there is a reason to remain skeptical that world leaders really will act on that ok. thanks for that. and now to some of the other stories making news around the world . former tunisian president zin zanni ben ali has been buried in the saudi holy
