sumi so much going to thank you for joining us china has been staging a massive military parade in beijing to celebrate 70 years of communist rule the anniversary is also being marked in hong kong with violent protests tens of thousands of pro-democracy demonstrators have taken to the streets near the regional government headquarters with some throwing molotov cocktails at the he's responded with tear gas and water cannon there are reports that one protester has been taken to the hospital after being shot in the chest the demonstrators also threw eggs at a portrait of chinese president xi jinping hong kong is seen months of unrest as locals call for greater autonomy from beijing. and let's go right to our correspondent charlotte shell some pill is standing by for us in hong kong hi

charlotte what has been happening where you are. we're getting reports amy as you mentioned that the one protester has been shot in the chest by police from what we're hearing from a police source on a medical schools as well that protest has been taken to hospital in the parent he is in a critical condition now let's be very clear knots is a major escalation in the crisis here in the vanity we've seen live rounds being fired the cool but they were shots fired into the air warning shots this though the images the videos that we're seeing on social media which haven't yet been confirmed but the videos if they are confirmed appears to be extremely disturbing so this is turning into a very violent day here in hong kong we've also seen takeouts being fired in multiple areas a water cannon being fired as well nevertheless people here as you can see behind me still out on the streets in fools many of them they very shaken they will of

course heard the news these reports of this protest being shot in the chest not sure what have protesters there told you about how important it is for them to be out today on china's national day to defy beijing. protesters that we've been speaking to of the last week have been saying that they are building towards this moment in particular that is because they know today of all days the world will be watching what happens in hong kong this is that. use that attention to capitalize on that attention to make their voices heard on an international problem not exactly what they're doing that is why so many people are out on the streets across hong kong today there is also a sense that by protesting today they will they will stage some of the protests some of the things that i think in beijing those ceremonies examples of the prowess from the authorities in beijing these protests is sending a very different message

a stark contrast between the images that and the images and charlotte what is planned there by the protesters for the rest of today. is so often the potency me during these protests that it will start peacefully during the day and then escalate it would descend into is violent clashes throughout the evening with those clashes started already very early this afternoon you do get the feeling though the atmosphere at the moment is still tense and it will remain so throughout the evening with a lot of people putting on. the helmet with supplies being sent to the multiple front lines that is opening up across hong kong these people here from what we can tell at the moment do appear to be in this for the long who'll do you plan to be to late into the evening of course it all depends a the situation is still very fluid very tense and the thing really can happen now in the coming hours all right our correspondent reporting there for us from hong

kong thank you. well as we have those protests are taking place as china a staging huge celebrations to mark 70 years of communist rule the people's republic of china has changed beyond all recognition since it was founded 7 decades ago after a bitter civil war with nationalist. today president xi jinping said china's development would be peaceful but its military would safeguard its sovereignty and security. strength discipline and vision this was the message from a state that has defied the odds for 70 years on tuesday the world's longest surviving communist nation celebrated its achievements on a grand scale standing where chairman mao proclaimed the people's republic in 1949 president struck a combative note. today a socialist china is standing proudly in the world's east. and no force can change

the position of our great motherland and no force can stop the chinese people and the chinese nation from stepping forward. for. the spectacle that followed was designed to highlight china's rise from a nation in despair to a global superpower. at the forefront of that newfound confidence a display of military might on a massive scale advanced weaponry including nuclear capable mistrials rumbling through beijing. the event comes at a crucial time growth is slowing as the trade war with the west takes its toll on the economy and calls for more democracy grow louder both in hong kong and among the middle classes in mainland china. and we have nice back with us he's a researcher at the macarthur institute for china studies here in berlin thank you for joining us those are some pretty impressive pictures that we're seeing at this

huge celebration taken place in beijing today what message is china sending with this parade at the home well i think as always with these massive parades. wealth and power and unity this time also very much so she's a thing is. trying to show that he was firmly in charge of one of the military society and you know trying to project it's. a build up production capacity also to the fringes of the entire region so it's really a show of force who is that show force to i mean is that for the chinese people are they as well celebrating this day well i think it's fair to say that the chinese people are they have reason to celebrate i mean they have been the ones who have built the nation they're creating the wealth that is showcased now the show of force of military and leadership wise i think really also goes to the entire inside the leadership that sees it being a cemented his rule and he's trying to show that we saw the pictures that are also

happening right now in hong kong as protesters continue to defy beijing and this is a bit of you know a black eye for beijing and it's been going on for several months how long will and can china tolerate those types of images especially on this national day well certainly hits china in a sore spot it has been really hard and developing this picture of a chinese rise as a peaceful one you know china's a benevolent giant rising and hong kong is a sore spot because it cannot china cannot really go in. you know direct intervention or kill a forces in the streets of hong kong is certainly the last resort those are pictures that would be very detrimental to the picture china's been in trying to build so what can it do as we see china celebrate its might. well in hong kong i think it has been doing what is what it does best so it you know

a back door diplomacy and channeling through the administration in hong kong and also reinforcing the forces in hong kong so i mean those are offensive and closed actions that i think is the way they will go coming back to china and the country celebrating 70 years of communist rule do you think we will continue to see the government the party flex its muscles heading going forward i think it's pretty safe to say that china will continue to try to show that is in charge of its region i mean the chinese interests in safety are growing the footprint of china is increasingly large southeast asia and east asia and south asia so they are certainly trying to project power and protect the interests of trying to increase in you know we heard jim ping say no country on earth can stop the advance of the chinese nation is that true. well that's a that's a bit of a bet for me to say yes or no answer but i think china really has at least feeling

that it now has come to the very top it's a great power on par with the u.s. and the other great powers and i mean the show is the right is certainly. a way to show this all right from the marketer institute for china studies merrick's out here in it for you and thank you. let's take a look now at some other stories making news around the world a bridge crossing a bay in taiwan has collapsed smashing on to boats more below a truck curing oil coming in from the bridge into the water at least 10 people have been injured rescue teams are searching for survivors. in peru president has dissolved congress and called elections and a power struggle with the opposition he accused lawmakers of blocking his attempts to fight corruption the rule has been engulfed in a scandal involving a brazilian construction firm multiple politicians are accused of accepting bribes in exchange for government contracts. british prime minister boris johnson says he

will present his final plan this week to get a deal for britain to leave the european union at the end of october reports suggest his ideas include locating customs officers several kilometers away from the irish border he also wants the e.u. to rule out further delays to break that. flooding in northern india has killed at least 100 people in the last 3 days of predation bihar states have been especially hard hit torrential monsoon rains brought down trees and power lines and roofs and his weather department says this year's monsoon rains are the highest in 25 year. democrats in the u.s. house of representatives are stepping up pressure on president donald trump as they move closer towards impeachment proceedings they have now issued subpoenas against trump's personal lawyer former new york mayor rudy giuliani. democrats are turning up the heat on donald trump's personal lawyer rudy giuliani has been ordered to turn over text messages phone records and other communications related

to ukraine it's a significant step by the house intelligence committee as it examines whether trump abused the office of president when he asked ukraine's president to dig up dirt on political rival joe biden with conferees trump has been pushing back aggressively firing out verbal barbs against democrats leading the impeachment probe reports the whistleblower that prompted this probably figured i made a call the call was perfect when the whistleblower reported it he made a senator and then you have that i'm sure of who even worse made up my words which i think is just horrible that everything that they would get to but the allegations against the president are mushrooming. government has confirmed that trump recently urged prime minister scott morrison to help him discredit the miller inquiry

another instance of trump pushing his own personal political interests with a foreign leader. the new york times reports that the wife has then restricted access to the call a breach of convention also used to conceal trump's call with the ukrainian president now germany's leader is known as an international stateswoman but she is now halfway through her final term as chancellor and some say her influence on the global stage is waning critics accuse merkel and her party of running out of ideas and leaving others like the french president to fill the vacuum. halfway into her last term as german chancellor if anything machall is sounding more ready than ever to take on more global responsibility. we have the responsibility to solve the tensions between russia and ukraine unless libya is stabilized the whole region in africa will become unstable and that's why

this is our task europe must leave a footprint as one might say today in solving the conflict in the world. and that footprint is looking increasingly french as president in monterrey markhor make sure he is seen to take the lead in europe little bit of meeting russian president vladimir putin he has pushed germany out of the diplomatic driving seat over the ukraine conflict markov also took the lead in trying to negotiate a meeting between iran's president rouhani and the u.s. president trump. it's less than a year since germany and france renewed their political viles by signing the arkin treaty of bilateral cooperation but in this political marriage president markov is increasingly seen as the one wearing the trousers. and the think tanks are beginning to talk. cancer than a bullet chanceless making space from

a crawl without setting her own agenda. as part of that afghan treaty german and french m.p.'s held their 2nd joint session in berlin last week mccall sent his top diplomat for europe who found german foreign policy restraint unlike in france we're not used to coalition we are in a system where we have more freedom of movement i would say more capacity to be a giant in the current situation of the global crisis we see this is sometimes an advantage a french m.p. who was in the room also sees merkel's leadership qualities limited by her lack of political space. we all see how calm she is not a face of adversity but she isn't free to act to shout with like. fight. having to share the government benches with the social democrat s.p.d. party appears to be keeping germany from taking more of a european lead key merkel advisors say the demand for german leadership is not

being met. that should be our role of politics look slightly different not only in this country do we have a coalition so we always need to find compromises the opposition is less diplomatic we have a huge lack of leadership and lack of initiatives coming from germany what we see is a government in this country which is. which is that there are tired stability and compromise have been the hallmarks of merkel's policy architecture for just over 14 years that formula alone may no longer be working for just anglo-american my belief that from the outside and under merkel is already being regarded as a kind of lame duck because ends at the end phase of her term and has little left that she can shape. angle america has survived. many attempts to declare

the end of her political career but in the autumn of her last time as chancellor the woman long seen as the lead to europe is false drowning out of opportunities to demonstrate that leadership. our political correspondent maximiliano question is with us here in our studio for more on the story hi max we heard there the accusation that there is a lack of leadership from the chancellor and just a year ago we saw germany spearheading initiatives on iran and ukraine also on migration but it is now surrendered those initiative so what are we talking about here is really a lame duck that's what certainly some political experts here in berlin are criticizing her as i say she is probably a duck paralyzed by her own grand coalition that is her conservative party and these social democrats here in berlin and that is because as we've seen in the last one of years that the coalition came in to form is that the party has been directly for and into crisis moved over the migration issue they didn't find

a coherent line on how to deal with a new take on migration policy in berlin and then all the topics to go over so we've seen that for voters here in germany the issue of the climate crisis has become much more important than there was subsequent followed by a rise of the green party in germany and domestic politics always tend to overshadow foreign policy in germany in general ok so if the chancellor has been somewhat paralyzed if you will particular in foreign policy we've seen germany hosting a big new meeting called the alliance for multilateralism this is 15 nations committed themselves to boost international cooperation is that what german foreign policy could look like going forward now multilateralism has always been championed has been championed by the german chancellor angela merkel she's always said that this is something very important or she's emphasized frequently in her latest speeches and she's always sat. she was motorbikes to run for this potentially last term by the election of the us. and donald trump is very much pushing for nationalist

policies in the u.s. and it's said that this was one of the reasons why she decided to continue as chancellor to continue to campaign for the chancellor ship because she wants to push for multilateralism and the liberal democratic. party all that being said what do you think we can expect from on levaquin from germany during the rest of her final term it was difficult to look ahead in that sense but i think what is expected from the german chancellor angela merkel and from her a 2nd hava last time is how she's going to take a stance on china what today's the 70th anniversary of the people's republic of china and china is for germany most important trading partner has been very important partner in political issues for example if you look at the iran deal but china and the u.s. the u.s. being a traditional very important political partner for germany a pretty it's rage war so the question is where will germany and with that europe

position itself in this ongoing trade war between the u.s. and china and also with the take on china as it is becoming more of a critic state you see the accusations that are happening on the. left of us are being kind of keeps kept in camps and then we've also seen the protests in hong kong and how they have been. handled and of course the question is how is germany going to take a stance on the it's a very interesting there are political correspondent max 1000000 acosta thank you for joining us. now nigerian police say they have freed 19 pregnant women and girls from a so-called baby factory the victims were allegedly abducted and raped so that their captors could sell their babies to women suspects were arrested in the raid in lagos. women impregnated by their captors now freed to tell their stories they were subjected to serious abuse. a woman gave me
