ago but now to documentary filmmakers are bringing the past back to life for a new generation. i'm serious of a condo thank you for joining us pro-democracy protests in hong kong marking the 70th anniversary of the founding of china has turned violent one protester is in the hospital after being shot in the chest by police now we have a video that appears to show the moment that a police officer fired his handgun at close range of the protester was treated on the scene before being taken to the hospital his condition right now is unknown it is the most serious incident in months of demonstrations in hong kong today's anti china rallies started peacefully with thousands marching in the streets before some started to throw molotov cocktails demonstrators also threw eggs at a portrait of. chinese president xi jinping. and did have you charlotte shots

from hell is covering the protests for us in hong kong charlotte as we heard there has been a major escalation a police officer shooting a protester what can you tell us. yeah video footage appearing to show the moment that that protester was shot in the chest has really gone viral hit in hong kong what it shows is the police officer opening fire it appears at close range what we've been hearing is that the protest that was shot in the chest we've heard that he is a high school student a teenager and what it appears is that what appears have happened is that shots were sponsored off to scuffles with police a lot of people on the streets here very shocked that that has taken place we've seen police firing a number of warning shots into the in previous week this is the 1st time that

a live rounds have actually hits a protest in almost 4 months of protest of this really is as you say a major escalation on the situation here in hong kong precipitous authorities there charlotte actually banned any protests today so what have people there on the streets told you about how important it is for them to be out today on china's national day. where the people who are back on the streets here today are essentially protesting illegally because of that police ban that that have not stopped tens of thousands of people coming onto the streets people of all ages now many of them as possibly you can see behind me have been dressed in black all day today that's because today is being called a day of grief a day of mourning. in response they want to show you a very stark contrast to the images that are coming out of beijing with people celebrating that here they want to show 6 that anger. and they want to make that

demands that they know full well that the world will be watching hong kong today on such and the menses anniversary and they want the world to see people here on the streets demonstrating once again charlotte we spoke to some of those protesters a little bit earlier in the day as the protests began let's listen to what they have to say. so one thing i got to i think the hong kong people going to be fully involved if you don't call to say probably it was at the very last chance that you could go out after so. let's not fight what happened in the last 100 days or so we're seeing that all of freedom getting a lot less attentive full so i feel like today whether it was a national day or anything we have to come out we. we don't want to be a not a china city because the government and the hong kong police we don't want the hong kong people to go out today but i think the basic law of protests that is our right

so we want to fight for our own right and freedom and we don't want to see this today we come to say the warsaw there. are no. criminal. citizens in your home you just cry for freedom stand for phone call. all right charlotte so we heard the voices there of a pro-democracy supporters the protesters who have been out on the streets it is important to note that there are also beijing supporters in hong kong have begun out at all today this is after all china's national day. jus to the very volatile situation here we haven't seen many pro beijing supporters or any pro beijing supporters on the streets over the last few hours it is extremely violent here and that of course would be a huge restyle you this morning though we do know that a number of pro beijing activists supporters rather one at

a ceremony marking the 70th anniversary of the founding of the people's republic of china here in hong kong but that ceremony really was extremely toned down and in fact the ceremonies were moved inside there was a flag raising ceremony that took place but any dignitaries and officials that were present watched from inside and indeed a fireworks display that would usually take place every year here in hong kong the harbor has also been counseled as well this is a very toned down celebration for the beijing supporters here in hong kong charlotte with this very tense day there in hong kong and the violence you know the protest going over to violence how have authorities there been reacting. but there's been a huge police presence on the streets all day today they have been firing tear gas the multiple locations across hong kong we've seen water cannon as well in fact

just a short time ago this street that i'm standing on right now is absolutely a filled with take asked me in fact one woman confronting police as they were firing out take us without a mate facemask then they take out kind of as was fired from the line of police and they were fired very very close to where journalists were standing this. very violent day police came to try and crack down on these protests which they say are illegal and of course authorities near a keen to stop these protests overshadowing upstaging what is going on in beijing they don't want to see the beijing. embarrassed by the protests that are taking place over at our correspondent charlotte show some pill reporting for us from hong kong with that update thank you very much. meanwhile as we said china is 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 nationalists 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. 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 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. correspondent much us banana is covering the festivities in beijing for us he says that behind the celebrations china's leaders are facing some difficult choices. this parade is of course a major display of power with roads being closed the entire in a city off beijing being cordoned off it is to show china's new rule there over the

china wants for itself in the world as a power that is recognized as a world power and it comes at a time when the leadership faces certain challenges economic growth has slowed down during the past few years the trade wars putting pressure on the chinese economy and of course the protests and hong kong challenge the party's authority the way that the parties like choice he has not been challenged during the past 30 years so it is important for the leadership to show these images to show their population but also the world that they are in control and that they have power. let's check in now and some other stories making news around the world a bridge crossing a bay in taiwan has collapsed smashing on to boats morvillo a truck carrying oil plummeted from the bridge into the water at least 10 people have been injured and rescue teams are searching for survivors. in peru president

a at the berlin wall and elsewhere it is famous for the stasi secret police as well but it was also a place where many people lead normally normal day to day lives now 2 filmmakers have curated hours of home video to offer a glimpse of this passed. personal memories recorded in a country that no longer exists. these home movies kept to a side of the former east germany that most outsiders never knew private recordings that are now public thanks to documentary filmmakers herskovitz political scientist lawrence murphy. the jew ok acted 415 hours of home movie reels showing what real life looks like for real people under the socialist regime. the resulting website open memory box allows visitors to click key words in english german french

or russian watching clips from the archives of 149 german families. the footage is universal most of these films seem like they could have been filmed most anyone in europe the people in them are just people living their lives despite the dictatorship. and we have one of the curators at the open memory box project with us dr hess that has joined us here in our studio. this is really interesting this project what were you looking to achieve with this where we really understood that this was a big treasure but it all began with the hope to find some media that would help us to talk to people about their experience in germany beyond. the black and white. thinking. that everything was bad and not only that but also west

and east looked upon each other in a way that i felt. i was astonished i was surprised that there was still so much tension going on so we wanted to talk about the life in the g.d.r. and really this polarized at its roots. prevent the people over a membrane things and then have this separate footage came along as a medium to trigger memories that could time travel into the past it's more than 400 hours of really home video footage what you think we learned about everyday life in the former east germany well if you look at the footage what you see is what people actually do or people around the world do you are you you care about your beloved beyond the children your hoarded troops or the daily life. normal kind of activities that i think when you when you when you when you dive into this footage and this is into this project you realize of the differences on a very big i mean we're all the same we care about the same things yes

a comparable archive in the west maybe would have focused on more expensive luxury goods and more fancy cars and so but in the end we're all the same it has been 30 years since the fall of the pearl and while there have been other important key landmark anniversaries of course since the berlin wall fell so why now why did you find it was important to bring this project that i think that the last decade everybody the media was so research focused on very very important questions. stussy the control of the program would be hard on me i mean a lot of a lot of important topics and i think now maybe it's the 1st time that we have reached a moment in history. that that allows to to look at what actually happened in the g.d.r. when it comes to to the private gaze the private you you mentioned that in

a western east they used to look down at each other and this is an issue that we're still talking about the divide between the former west and the former east of course do you think that this project could help bring people together you very much hope so because we believe that this problem the tension between the east and best to something something that is a result of or of distance and also of a lack of knowledge and we hope that these images would help people to see that life in the east was very much a human story and just before you go were there any offers that you had to turn down in terms of these videos that you collected no no no no we read that this everything greasy have to be digitized and put online of course i mean we should curate intent when it comes to nudity and so but in general it's sort of it's over there it's all been very interesting the open memory box project of the actor has give it's one of the curators of this project thank you for joining us thank you very much. or let's move on to sports now of the world athletics championships are

taking place in qatar yesterday 3 out of 6 gold medals went to athletes who also took the top spot at the last event. undisputed leader of the pack of defending champions was russian high jumper maria unless it skinner who won her 3rd straight gold medal. this one though as a neutral athlete as russia's track and field federation has been suspended since 2015 due to widespread doping allegations. the men's 5000 meter final had 3 norwegian brothers competing in good brits the youngest of the band of brothers was leading in the final lap only to be paid to the left corner. in good brits and ended up in face well gold and silver went to ethiopia with a dress repeating his triumph from 2 years ago in london. and finally some joy

for i know we didn't athlete cost involved home defended his title in the 400 meter hurdles climbing on him beaten streak of 14 races meanwhile 3rd place. in the 1st middle of the championships for hosts. staying with athletics and the u.s. anti-doping agency has banned alberto salazar the head of a leading track and field program for 4 years he's been found guilty of orchestrating and facilitating doping that the program that sells are runs is funded by nike and the british olympic champion mo fara and u.s. runner galen rupp are among the after 2 trained under him at the night in oregon project but they have not been accused of wrongdoing salazar said he would appeal nike has not yet commented. and we have tom going to i from get a few sports for more on the story here tom salazar and also we should say u.s. doctors named jeffrey brown were also banned and they were both banned in the same

announcement what are they accused of doing now yeah that's right so as you mentioned they're both under the for you orchestrating i'm facilitating doping alberto salazar in his capacity as. the head coach of the nike oregon project and dr brown was both an advisor to that. organ project and also the personal physician of some of the athletes now the report of the u.s. anti doping agency also notes that back in itself is a fairly serious conflict of interests. but the penalty specifically relates to the tracking and the the trafficking and the administration of testosterone to the athletes which of course is a performance in harnessing banned subjects' and then also to the subsequent tampering or attempts to tamper with the doping controlling process and in the case of dr brown who is an endocrinologist a hormone expert who said attempts to tamper with the medical records of some of

the athletes so importing administrate administering testosterone and then basically attempting to cover their tracks let's talk about alberto salazar who is the i mean how influential is he in the world of athletics yet very influential i mean he's the head coach of course of the oregon project which itself is a very prestigious kind of center of excellence in athletics it was home to british olympian mo farah between 20112017 so essentially of course the most successful years in mode for his career now during that period 2015 was when allegations associated with. no fire always maintained his own integrity and that of salazar. and he left in 2017 are we now know that that was the year in which a cool battle over these allegations began the organ project is also home to the current women's 10000 meter world champion safe and has a son who won the title of the world championships in doha just

a couple of days ago so not only was salazar a very influential coach he attach to basically 2 days ago still was you know this sport in particular has been hit hard by doping how damaging is this for athletics . yeah well it's damaging what's particularly bad essentially is the timing now i mention that the world championships in doha as you know are going on at the moment and with some athletes being coached by salazar salazar is also or has been in attendance at the world championships he's since had his accreditation stripped which you know is another bad story for world championships it doesn't really need any more bad headlines. there have been really dire attendances we've seen athletes celebrating their triumphs in empty stadiums which nobody really wants to say they've been huge problems with the heat races have had to be you know how that midnight and still large numbers of athletes are falling out because they just can't finish with the heat is so startling and their who so recently been protests from some female sprinters who are very unhappy about new cameras placed in the

starting blocks now they're upset that. these cameras are capturing a broadcasting images part of me. from a very invasive angle and the i.w.a. fs came out and defended the use of these new cameras so there really are abounding good for overseas in athletics at the moment and this is certainly a story that this ball could have done without the right time to die from to do these sports thank you very much. now the bangladeshi capital dhaka has one of the worst traffic problems on the planet the world bank says more than 3000000 working hours are lost every day as commuters sit in bumper to bumper traffic as a result many are now turning to a new ride sharing service but that comes with its own problems. for decker's nearly 20000000 residents getting from a to b. is a daily nightmare the bangladeshi capital is one of the most congested cities in the

world. to me is 6 kilometers by coach can take up to an hour which isn't much faster than walking. now technology's offering a helping hand. carrying a bag weighted says well a lot of time. i can't reach anywhere on time usually on all the rides it's takes time because all the traffic so sharing a bike ride really helps me a lot swapping full wheels for 2 allows drivers to navigate narrow alleys and congested traffic lanes and as well as cutting travel time ride sharing has created thousands of jobs one local company alone has more than 200000 registered drivers. one time in my free time i'm right sharing it's a good opportunity to earn some money. millions of bangladeshis now use one of several companies on the market reducing travel time has also been

a boon for business. trip which used to be 2 hours before people were uncomfortable writing all rituals on you know now only 40 minutes and that things not to really save there but also increases the productivity. but despite the numerous perks critics say ride sharing has led to a spike in traffic accidents in a city that already has one of the world's highest road death tolls. and let's get a recap of our top stories at this hour china is marking 70 years of communist rule the country has staged a massive display of military might in the capital beijing showing off new nuclear capable weapons president xi jinping said nothing could halt the advance of the chinese nation. and china's anniversary is also being marked in hong kong with the violent protests thousands of pro-democracy demonstrators have taken to the streets with song towing molotov cocktails authorities have responded with tear gas and
