a theatrical celebration that recalled china's rise from a nation in despair to the world's 2nd largest economy. october 1st 1949 mao's the dawn declared the founding of the people's republic of china and transformed the country. his great leap forward aim to industrialize the country but instead left it devastated famine was widespread and tens of millions died mouse cultural revolution followed dissidents were sent to camps or executed in his attempt to purge china of counter-revolutionaries. after decades of isolation beijing took steps to open the country and its market up to the world. today china is on the podium of world leading nations but rapid growth has come at a cost. cities are choked by pollution and information is restricted.

behind the spectacle authorities are hoping the pro-democracy movement in hong kong doesn't mar the landmark occasion for the world's longest surviving communist state and let's go to date of use my ts filling and he joins us from beijing hi mathias good to see you huge preparations are underway there how important is this anniversary for the chinese leadership. for the last 30 years the. legitimacy to its legitimacy that the communist party attributes to itself has been mainly sustained by nationalism and the narrative that the communist party has made china powerful again has made it and is sending world powers and this parade is designed to support this we're going to see a lot of military. soldiers but also technology china sees itself as a nation rising to one of the technology powers so this is extremely important and

it comes at a moment when china is facing several challenges economic growth slowed down so. narrative that it has made china will be is somewhat at the end of. of offa certain iran that it had so this is this is how china wants to see itself how the communist party wants to see itself and that whole parade is at the scent off attention mathias you mentioned this is coming at a somewhat difficult time for china there are also these ongoing protests in hong kong how much have these factors really overshadow the celebrations. oh they have dominated the world news forward 3 months now so they have clearly overshadowed the celebration this is not how the chinese communist party imagine would celebrate its 70 years and birth 3. protesters in hong kong have announced

that they will be on the streets tomorrow so we're going to see these images and clearly beijing is hoping to talk these images by those it produces itself but we all and you know how new was works the parade will be on all the t.v. screens all over the world but of course clashes if and you happen tomorrow will be there as well and this is the biggest challenge the communist party is facing on its own soil challenge direct challenge to its power on its own soil since 989 so this of course has been giving the party a big headache did evie's met yes belanger reporting for us from beijing thank you . and let's get more on the unrest in hong kong now. sent us this report.

it's images like these beijing hoped would have long been stamped out chinese president xi jinping trampled underfoot. instead mass demonstrations have dominated the countdown to the 70th anniversary of the people's republic of china and these protesters are no mood to celebrate. with the world watching closely they want to capitalize on the attention and make them and ahead should be a great day but we really can't find a reason to start to bring we feel more sorry and sorrow for what do you have suffered i hope to make our country attention to understand more wides we are going to fight for this this spring is a good one to hold us to to show them come home we will lose who fight for freedom we will go much the whole. allstars he's here to

mass on rest on cheese day they want to avoid a repeat of more scenes like this. images of angry young play chess is threatening to pull focus from beijing celebrations and embarrass authorities police have made clear this weekend that unsung sions rallies will not be tolerated box there's only so much they can do to keep people off the streets instead of massively scaled back the annual celebrations to prevent them from being swamped by protesters ordinarily this area behind me is packed with people marking the anniversary this year though all the ceremonies have had to be moved inside into that building that robots like these ones stopping people from even getting close in the evening a massive fireworks display that usually lights up the sky behind me. drawing thousands has also had to be canceled. if you look hard enough you will find some signs of support for the other bestiary a few flags lined the streets of

a neighborhood known for its prey beijing sentiment. one local shop owner tells me he's looking forward to the anniversary but even he will be marking it privately so. i will spend the day doing my duty as a chinese citizen i will do my best to run my business well and keep working. at the night fools these few symbols of support for beijing torn to the ground for democracy supporters unwilling to let even the slightest hint of celebration go untouched. let's check in now on some other stories making news around the world u.s. president donald trump says he deserves to meet his accuser in the whistleblower scandal in a series of late night tweets the us president attacked the whistleblower who released details about a phone call between trump and the ukrainian president in that call trump asked his counterpart to investigate political opponent joe biden for corruption british

lawsuit is the 1st of its kind in germany lawmakers pave the way for class action proceedings after the diesel scandal broke in 2050. watershed moment for germany's legal system and a day v.w. had hoped to avoid 4 years after the emissions scandal broke hundreds of thousands of drivers have joined forces to hold the car giant to account consumer rights groups with to avail of a change in the law which opened the door to u.s. style class action lawsuits in germany. about a region of german consumer associations believes volkswagen deliberately and ethically harmed the most and that compensation must therefore be paid so far the cheating scandal has cost a v.w. nearly $10.00 times more in the u.s. than in germany lawsuits of the kind being heard today could regress the balance speaking last week the company's lawyer came out defiant. the horror to this day hundreds of thousands of vehicles are still in use by customers for us this means

that there is no damage and therefore no reason for compensation clark monday's hearing comes just a week after german prosecutors charge 3 v.w. executives including current boss hit back with market manipulation accusing them of failing to inform shareholders about the financial impact of the emissions scandal yet another sign that the costs of germany's biggest post-war industrial scandal are still being kind to. and get had offers from to get you business is looking into this story for us hike a hide and seek day for v.w. in court today how significant is this class action lawsuit significant. start and also significant for if you look at the legal situation germany because the 1st really big class action lawsuit that was in germany has the beautiful german name most officials club which is well if you feel that it is easier i think yeah it is

easy indeed. $470000.00 people wanting money from folks bargain and of course it's a it's a big thing they've already paid customers in the u.s. to the tune of $30000000000.00 u.s. dollars and now customers in germany are saying the law has been changed just less than a year ago no want to go for this we want one of money back it is a big thing but it is not the 1st case that v.w. is facing over this diesel emissions scandal it's not the 1st case and it will definitely won't be the last this one will go will go on for a long time they say they will go up to the highest german courts because doing so and they say expert estimates that it could take for up to 4 years v.w. at some stage might be fed up with the constant headlines coming from this so others say they have been might be fighting for over a deal or going for a deal. much earlier but they have already as i said they've spent so much money

already and they want to try to keep the damage low here we're talking about v.w. as a company what about individual people at the company you know the leadership the bosses there is anyone going to be held accountable for the scandal yes the they've been shot 5 members of the senior amount of time and have been jobst for names are not known about when we know that the former c.e.o. was invincible on has been charged specially with misleading customers investors and. and regulators about the scale of the problem he. said that he knew what was going on and failed to report this cause investors to many millions when there were the share price just tanked with the scoundrel scandal broke and so he's being investigated as he's facing anything between 6 months and 10 years prison all right there had after some business thank you for bringing us up to date. for

at least 2 people have died in a fire at an overcrowded creech migrant camp the dead are reported to be a woman and a child the blazers struck the morea camp on the island of lesbos it was later put out but residents of the camp were angry at what they say was a slow response they clashed with police conditions at the camp are at breaking point after sharp spike in migrant arrivals from turkey. misery upon misery on the greek island of last boss migrants scramble to escape a cloud of tear gas fired by police as a tragic chain of events unfolded on the mari. the fire broke out inside the camp quickly spreading through containers used to highways residents there are conflicts reports about what happened next and then joe working in the camp says a group of migrants rushed to extinguish the blaze and police used tear gas to

chase them away. police say they fired tear gas to disperse rioters i heard by the time it took to the deadly fire. what's undisputed is that a group of migrants attacked firefighters who arrived on the scene a video posted on facebook shows the damage it did you know police officers were flown in from athens to help restore calm. conditions of moriah have always been difficult but in recent months they've gotten worse migrant arrivals to greece from turkey have surged reaching their highest level since 2016 when the european union signed a deal with ankara to stem the flow. about $12000.00 people are currently has done the camp though it's only designed for a quarter of that number. the deadly fire and rioting will increase pressure on the

greek government to ease the situation with the harsh winter months approaching fast. while in turkey a president. says a new safe zone the northeast syria will create an area where his government can repatriate syrian refugees he also wanted to help keep courage militants away from the southern border he says he wanted to establish the zone by now the end of september but his government and the u.s. have different ideas about how big it should be everyone says he will act alone if there's no agreement meanwhile syrian refugees in turkey say some are already being deported to areas including the north of syria where they say they are far from safe leon met a woman whose son was sent back against his will. mohammad has been gone for almost 2 months. when offered a show thinks about what happened to her son she feels helpless lost.

in early august mohammed was riding a friend's motorbike in istanbul the bike was unregistered mohamed was stopped by police and then sent to a detention center. about 12 days later i got a call from mohammed. he said they've taken me to syria to live that was his last phone call i haven't heard from him since. i'm heartbroken when we fled from syria he was still a small child. now they have sent him back to that place. and i don't know where he is. istanbul's fattish district is an area where many syrians live many here of heard that the turkish authorities have been deporting refugees in recent months and most

of them are afraid that they could be next. when they started sending people back i was so scared i didn't leave my house with. the imam but they already have and there are more restrictions on us now people are being deported back to syria but we can't escape turkey for europe anymore because it's too dangerous. yeah i will go then was it and we syrians used to feel welcome here in rio we learned it's changed. now we feel like unwanted right parents again. turkey has taken in more refugees from syria than any other country more than 3600000 people in the space of a few years hundreds of thousands live here in istanbul they've set up stores of breast strongs they've tried to build new lives while turkish society initially responded with more marketable resilience hospitality is now rapidly wearing fit.

took both iran if more of them come i don't want to live in this neighborhood and in this country anymore. it's me. i get along very well with most of the syrians here there are some bad people but you get that everywhere you go and i guess we want them to leave as soon as possible we don't want them here any more be the. turkish president. has recognized this change in public sentiment in the past few weeks he has made repeated promises that millions of syrians will return home to a so-called safe zone that he wants to establish in the north east of syria. but the government insists the deportations are not taking place and that syrians who are returning are doing so voluntarily.

the mare check through those disagreeing is the lawyers trying to help get off the racial son back from syria mohammed and his family have valid turkish documents and protection status check google has filed an appeal with turkey's constitutional court. so. sending a person to a war zone is a serious human rights violation mohammed is not an isolated case which hopefully this is happening to many syrians many have been deported in recent months if. not the lawyers says that many deported syrians attempt to return to turkey making a 2nd escape from their war torn country illegally and often at a high cost paying a lot of money to smugness and as dangerous as that might sound. i go home as mother is clinging to any hope that she might see her son again

in safety. on our own. in austria former chancellor sebastien courts and his conservative people's party are looking to build a coalition government after winning the biggest share of the vote in a general election on sunday courts is set to return to power after his party secured 37 percent of the vote a comfortable majority but not enough to govern alone quite service trance or until may when his government collapsed over a scandal involving his far right coalition partners the freedom party they saw a dramatic slump in votes yesterday. and let's go right to do funny standing by in vienna hi max you've been speaking to voters there in the capital how are they reacting to yesterday's election. we had to measure the wind of change on the streets of vienna i can tell you the real wind is pretty strong today but as for the wind of change some people seem to have not just what happened yesterday quite yet now before listening to those sound bites i brought

along from the streets of vienna you have to keep in mind that vienna is very different from the countryside so it's really hard to find supporters of the far right freedom party around here in fact we tried we didn't find any secure that in mind but in the countryside that's where the most fervent supporters of the freedom party are enough said listen it. i'm disappointed about the social democrats results and wanted them to do better for me i'm happy about the greens and yes i find what's been happening with populism in austria and europe quite difficult. i had been hoping for the greens of the liberals but thank god in the end the far right lost. everything it's alarming brilliant green indeed and i'm glad the greens are back in parliament but it still doesn't say right with me because the right wing populist party so have so much

power and nobody really understands what sebastian caught would have us was surprised and quickly people most thought and it's a close optic honestly it's great you know exactly what i was hoping for and i'm curious about coalitions and what the coalition talks will bring on them playing in the. right max that is exactly the next question the focus shifts to coalition building what are sébastien courts as options. he has 3 options if you only want to build a coalition with one other party and why would he want otherwise the 1st one is a former partner of the far right for the party but they have already announced after their heavy losses on sunday evening that they want to get back into the opposition and rebuild reboot their party also have more control over what happens in the party the 2nd party that could be a coalition partner of the social democrats they had their worst result in their history in austria and they are quite far away from the courts when it comes to

social policy so many here think that's not very likely either and that leaves us with the greens they made huge gains 10 percent and that puts them mathematically speaking in a position to form a coalition with as it busts in quotes and experts here think that's the most likely one although something that wouldn't have necessarily been anticipated before the election this is now a real possibility the next briefly if you can how would a potential coalition with the greens actually work. the difficulties don't lie on climate policy or economic policy but on migration for example very different positions a bus in quotes was a hardliner when it comes to migration the greens are not and also social policy of us and course wants to slash taxes the greens don't they want to use the money on social policy on climate policy so that's where they would need to align their positions and it won't be easy all right you know he's not tough man reporting for us from vienna max good to talk to you.
