taking part in the protests on the front lines not because of what has been quite a fierce quite a strong crackdown from police right from the moment that this protest began earlier on this often a protest is on now starting to clear the area but most classes have been left behind that will always been the case so many weekend previously that will always be those small groups of people who want to stay here to the end to engage in those face clashes that we've seen so many times with the police. all right well there is additional significance today comes just a couple of days before the celebration of china's national day we also mentioned this anti-totalitarian ism day how has that affected the mood. they've been a huge number of events planned in the build up to choose day the 70th anniversary

of the founding of the people's republic of china that's been protests planned the leader but yesterday that was also the 5th anniversary of the umbrella movement that pro-democracy movement it's meant to teach the grip hong kong this really is a few days that people here observers have been looking out very closely predicting that there would be a significant amount of unrest on the streets not is exactly what we have seen now the protests that took place today this anti totalitarianism protest it did not receive the approval from police making it on goal food but as you can see that hasn't stopped people coming to the streets anyway for another very violent day in the build up to choose day and that began about 3. and charlie briefly if you can is the is the violence going to continue or are there efforts to deescalate. what some people that we've spoken to think that quick

a media crackdown by police as soon as the protests started with to send a message send a signal that they will not tolerate an authorised protests over the coming days that they are really trying to crack down on violence people that we've spoken to protest as they say they're not going to be deterred they still plan to come out particularly on tuesday in fact some of them say they may even go home early tonight and get ready for those big what expected to be big protests on tuesday. correspondent charlotte charleston pill in hong kong for us thank you so very much . let's get a quick check now some of the other stories making news around the world vote counting is underway in afghanistan's presidential election after violence mark at the polls on saturday nearly 70 attacks are being blamed on the taliban which has vowed to disrupt the elections. at least 5 people were killed across the country officials estimate that voter turnout was very low. at least 36 people have been

killed in a roadway collision near you xing in china's jang sue province local officials say a bus veered into the opposite lane on an expressway and collided with a truck a flat tire is thought to have caused the accident. 2 people have died and 5 more were injured in a roller coaster accent in mexico city one of the attractions rail cars left the tracks during the ride and felt 10 metres to the ground investigators are treating the incident as a negligent homicide. to austria now where voters are going to the polls to elect a new government sunday's snap election comes after a corruption scandal in may prompted the collapse of the right wing coalition government all eyes are on the frontrunner a former chancellor of the bus and courts and his conservative austrian people's party kurtz's party is expected to win by will probably need a coalition partner to secure a stable majority and who he will take is currently anybody's guess.

our correspondent next month is monitoring of the election for us in vienna i asked him whether we can assume courts and his people's party will finish 1st. it looks like he there won't be any majority against the austrian people's party of which of course a bust is the lead candidate on top of that some or even most of those parties have excluded to go into a coalition with the far right freedom party that believes that the only options through is about courts on top of that he has a lead of about 10 percent in the polls so you can choose is called a supporter and he hasn't excluded anything so the chances are very very high that the last chance it will be also be the next reside in the building behind me the austrian chancellor rhee quotes all right well we know that courts is previous government collapsed because of a scandal involving involving the far right freedom party and yet courts has not

ruled out forming a new coalition with them why is that. but the answer is quite simple if you look at all the different parties that he could strike a coalition with the freedom party is on many topics the closest one. for example on the very controversial topic of migration they already had a program they were set to govern until 2022 but of course then you had that huge scandal surrounding the so-called video and that's the only thing that brought that coalition down so he could argue that the main person the main culprit is no longer part of that coalition but still you would expect a huge outcry in austria among certain people if he does that again of that's also a reason why he's keeping his options open for example to have a coalition with the social democrats or even some think with the greens all right well this does suggest that perhaps the corruption scandal took place before the summer holidays maybe did it just not have any impact on austrian voters

it didn't have the impact that many expected it looks like the far right freedom party will still have about 20 percent of the vote just 3 to 5 percent less than they had in the last election so that is not significant giving the scope of that scandal but we talked to some people here here in vienna who would be very unhappy with another coalition between coats and the freedom party take a listen to the kind of shots and definitely not a people's party freedom party coalition we've seen that wasn't such a good idea to say. this if it if i hope it be a setback for the freedom party and they want to get into government why they see and feel free so they have just almost nothing cystic and i can't stand that. the thing with missile fleet is i want to see less cheating less going behind people's

backs we've got so much brutality. i just wanted to get better. and it's a bit see there's a lot of opposition here in vienna in the big cities that's the way but if you go into the countryside there are so many many people that are sticking to the freedom party and that's why they're set to have as i said earlier around 20 percent of the vote. to delhi is next hofman reporting for us from vienna thank you so much. now would you ever think about taking a vacation in space or possibly moving to another planet well you might be able to do this soon the space exploration for space x. has unveiled a new spacecraft designed to carry a crew and cargo to the moon or mars or just about anywhere else in the entire solar system it's hoped it will be in orbit next year and bring the dream of space tourism a whole lot closer to reality. a rocket launch but with

a difference introducing starship it's 50 meters high we surveyed 120 tons and could play a key rule in building a city on the mean. we're faced with a choice which future do you want do you want the future will become a space frank civilization and or in many worlds and out there among the stars one where we are forever confined to earth and i say it is the 1st and and i hope you agree with me. for commercial space travel to be viable states crafts need to become reusable this is the plan for star ship which will go into orbit and don't with tanker starships already there that will enable it to gather the huge amounts of propellant needed to travel to the moon and beyond space x. hopes to pick the starship into orbit in 6 months tell you and make it feasible for
