taking part in the protests on the front lines not because of what has been quite a fierce quite strong crackdown from police right from the moment that this protest began here 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 weekends 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 been protests planned the

leader but yesterday it was also the 5th anniversary of the umbrella movement that great democracy movement in 2014 the grips hong kong this really is a few days that people here observe and 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 no 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 they got about 3. and charlie briefly if you can is the car 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 was to send

a message send a signal that they will not tolerate unauthorized protests over the coming days if 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 check now some of the other stories making news around the world vote counting is underway in afghanistan's presidential election after a deadly violence marred the polls on saturday nearly 70 attacks are being blamed on the taliban which have vowed to disrupt the elections at least 5 people were. killed across the country officials estimate voter turnout to be very low. at least 36 people have been killed in a roadway collision near you 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 tires thought to have caused the accident. 2 people have died and 5 more were injured in a roller coaster accident in mexico city one of the attractions of rail cars left the tracks during the ride and fell 10 meters 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 prompt of the collapse of the right wing coalition government all eyes are on the front runner former chancers of us and courts and his conservative austrian people's party courts his party is expected to win but will probably need a coalition partner to secure a stable majority and 2 he will pick is currently anybody's guess.

our correspondent max hoffman is monitoring the election for us in vienna i asked him whether we can assume the course and his people's party will indeed 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 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 and viral involving the far right freedom party. and yet courts has not

ruled out forming a new coalition with them why is that. 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 was about 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 he did 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 zip codes and the freedom party take a listen to the kind of shots rock or it's definitely not a people's party freedom party coalition we've seen that wasn't such a good idea to say anything to save us and we see this if it if i hope it be a setback for the freedom party and they want to get into government why. they're just too far right they're almost like nazis and i can't stand that. the 15 associated i want to see less cheating less going behind people's backs it's not so

much brutality. i just want to get better. and. i 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 that's why they're set to have as i said earlier around 20 percent of the vote all right delhi is next hoffman reporting for us from vienna thank you so much . this space exploration company space x. has unveiled a new spacecraft that it says can carry a crew or cargo to the moon or even to mars it hopes to launch the new starship next year. a rocket launch but with a difference introducing starship it's 50 meters high weezer range $120.00 tons and could play a key rule in building a city on the moon. but we're

a new world record the race saw the 2nd fastest marathon time ever be recorded by became at just 2 hours one minute and 41 seconds was also a strong showing for ethiopia in the women's race with a shitty of a candidate taking 1st place thousands of runners are participating in the race in the german capital. and joining us now from the course is de w. is a leader who talkie alema it's raining. the berlin marathon is of course always seen as a faster race today was no different despite the weather was it. exactly and it is known for being a very fast horse and of course for setting world records and the reason for that is quite simple just take a look at the surface pretty much the entire course is a flat surface and we also have a very very few sharp corners and all the organizers said from the get go that this

was all about creating a very attractive race for the fans it was not about setting a world record although we did come awfully close to setting one. we can also see a great spirit despite the gray skies a limit talk us through some of today's top performances. so they kenyan dominance in berlin has ended this year it was the 8th the o.p.'s dad dominated on the men's side of course ken and he shot big kalay i mean what a comeback story for the 37 year old he finished in 2 hours and minute and 41 seconds that's just 2 seconds off the wood record and here it is the 2nd as the 2nd fastest time ever had a marathon and people need to realize that the k.l.a. that he was a surprise entry he has been dealing with injuries he's had some very poor performances lately and so many of us didn't even think that he would at the end to

run and yet don't come this close to setting another work record. all right so the pros have perhaps been missed crossed the finish line already but we still see quite a lot of people still participating in this race. our reduce our round after that you all amount that's when you have the elites come in then around the 3 hour mark that's money off the semi professionals come in now of course the party is getting started because you have all these amateurs people like you and i and over 46000 of them are expected to continue streaming in these are people you see it i mean just look at their faces look at the emotions only about a kilometer to 2 kilometers away from the finish line but of course we have to be patient because they are not elite runners and it will take some time before they cross that finish line are i had to deal with. braving a wet conditions at the berlin marathon thank you so much for your reporting. and
