1:04 pm
i love what. i. did well but. i. think you're. right charlotte so one thing i got that i think people got to be. if you don't go out today probably it was at the very last chance that you could go out after after so. 100 days or so we're seeing that all 3 together. and it all so i feel like today whether it was a national day or anything we have to we. we don't want to be another china city because. police we don't want people to go out today but
1:05 pm
i think the basic laws protect. our rights so we want to fight for our own right and freedom and we don't want to do is this today really to say who was out there. no. criminal. citizens in your home how you just fight for freedom stared at hong kong. or a dozen voices there from hong kong and we've had some technical difficulty with our correspondent there charlotte shell some payola we'll speak to her again in the next hour now meanwhile as we heard charlotte mention china is staging shoots celebrations to mark 70 years of communist rule and the people's republic of china has changed beyond all recognition since it was founded 7 decades ago after a bitter civil war with nationalists today president xi jinping said china's development would be peaceful but its military would safeguard its sovereignty and
1:06 pm
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. 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
1:07 pm
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 u.s. 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 going back with us he's a researcher at the mccotter institute for china studies here in berlin nice thank you for joining us those are some pretty impressive pictures that we're seeing at this huge celebration taking place in beijing today what message is china sending with this parade at home well i think as always with these massive. wealth and power and unity this time also very much so she's a ping is really trying to show that he is firmly in charge of a military society and you know trying to project its. and build
1:08 pm
a production capacity also a true friend just gentile 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 military and leadership wise and 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 is been going on for several months how long will and can china tolerate those types of images especially on its national day well hong kong certainly hits china in a sore spot it has china has been really hard and developing this picture of
1:09 pm
china's 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 it feel a force in the streets of hong kong is certainly the last resort those are pictures that would be very detrimental to the picture china has 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 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
1:10 pm
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 and safety are growing the footprint of china is increasingly large southeast asia and use asia and south asia so they are certainly trying to project power and protect the interest of trying to increase and you know we heard pain say no country on earth can stop the advance of the chinese nation is that true. well 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 is 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 certainly. a way to show this all right from the marketer institute for china studies merrick's out here in a fertile and thank you. and we can now go back to our correspondent charlotte shell some tell who is that covering the protests that are ongoing in hong kong
1:11 pm
a very fluid situation there on the ground between protesters and police in charlotte we can see there also for journalists a delicate situation of the need to protect yourself as well as charlotte you know we were talking about how protesters have been viewing this day and how important it is for them to come out on china's national day what have they been telling you . the monarchy. i got from what's called a moment. to remind the photo shop industry is usually packed with consumers though as you can see it is absolutely telling us the good guys have just been filed preventing people rubbing you can really feeling the running. well that's your question people have been building up to walk to day they really wanted to come out all of the fans that message to the won't get them to capitalize on the
1:12 pm
attention of the locals don't deserve that and to make their voices heard and what feel it to be happening at the moment they are clashing throughout this arriaga world is watching the pale thump oh sure that we also as we mentioned a little bit earlier have heard these reports that one protester was shot that we are waiting for confirmation of those reports but this would seem to indicate although these scenes of violence have been going on for months that this is a real escalation. this is a real mess that ends in the yes thing to me this is the 1st time to be very clear that a proton. with the mind round no will. move who are caught in the that protest and the high school students and teenager who have been on social media oh fuck and they're going viral and hong kong appearing to sort of that moment it appears that we're thoughtful and that a political force that are open for
1:13 pm
a close range now that protests are thought to be in a crisis coat condition in a hospital at the moment but the new law that those are at the location was really sold to the lot of people who are on the story that we've seen previously in previous weekend police opening fire into the morning so this is the 1st time that a protest about some of the malls and charlotte where you're standing as you said the situation. has asked later then there is a lot going on at the moment how are authorities how are police their reaction right now what are they doing to try to control these protests. without going to huge police presence on the streets to me more than in previous weeks those who have from the moment the things protests gotten off don't they all want their own police did not commission the people to take to the streets of the morning but the people who are protesting for a girl's time. now though been using police they've been using some of that in
1:14 pm
multiple locations are looking in response to protest and. that's up across hong kong thought on some of the photographs just the clothes that are in the booth about what we saw here in the soap inconstant just a short time ago now we've also seen water cattle on the street tomorrow 7 it's things like that are that another tolerant attitude and to these protests today of course the authorities in hong kong don't want things like this. stage the celebrations that are happening the using today and to embarrass the authorities and those are already dramatic scenes there today on the streets of hong kong our correspondent charlotte shells and phil reporting for us there bringing us up to date thank you charlotte. let's get a roundup now of some other stories making news around the world a bridge crossing a big day in taiwan has collapsed smashing on to boats more below

1:19 pm
country to you know 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. because of the new chancellor 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 coalitions we are in a system where we have more freedom of movement i would say more cassidy 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.
