a live round it wasn't fear we saw it was anger. wrote one of the boroughs. hard work of archigram own. for her own ground under guard my daughter grew up in the program know so. this was an escalation that many had long feared but few could believe one woman so irate she confronted officers without a face mask. police unflinching in their response a tear gas canister narrowly missing our camera man protesters tell us the shooting only strengthens their resolve to take to the streets i'm afraid but it will push push me to go. to stand up to fight for him that bullet river sending. a communist party try to force before a free place to words. that darkness i was shocked
6:38 pm
but i think is will behappen in one day because chinese government they want to stop oh boy. police say the officer who fired the shot feared for his life but protesters see it differently they gathered outside a police station into the early hours of the morning hurling abuse at officers inside as hong kong braces for a dark new chapter in its protest movement. the shooting of that hong kong teenage judge dominated the international headlines overshadowing china's 70th anniversary celebrations corresponding but his bowling days in beijing and he brought us the reactions from that. this is of course a dramatic event. a life full of shot at a protester is something that has the potential to escalate things further it's something that people have feared in hong kong for a long time it is of course something that has not overshadowed the celebrations
6:39 pm
here in a way that everything went on as. planned and there were no disturbances at all here kerry lam flew to. beijing and was enjoying the parade which is also a picture that any government in the world would not want when their city is on fire but china is a bit different in that thing maybe the only thing that we've heard that was related to hong kong yesterday was she jinping saying that he wants to maintain the one country 2 systems whatever that means it is bullinger in beijing and you can find out more about the ongoing for democracy protests on our website dot com forward slash asia. nearly every city of india has a road named after him and in school you are never thought away from his principles and ideals. as the father of the nation in india and today it's marking

building hundreds of millions of toilets but this scheme also aims to clean up india's rivers streets and public facilities and prime minister more the has encouraged juggle has to do their part. it's an important date for the team india mission and prime minister narendra modi has spoilt for being runs across the country which is picking up trash while jogging with one of the 1st groups to bring clogging to india but i mean what makes you interested in blogging what are you trying to achieve here. this idea was originally we got to do this just because i used a c.v.s. standard leandro awards in public areas and i just got inspired because it was going kind of disheartening that people just little without even getting and it's a smart afford dying to bring a small change people laughed at us that you won't be able to do anything it's not be you know something but it's the effort that counts this is more the fault of mine you know it's been almost 2 years since blogging india has been functioning since you started it do you think the clean india mission the such modest mission
