politically the government should find solutions instead of imposing more regulations there's an end to mass clore now there might be a curfew in future guy they're not solutions to real issues discontent with the government and that has to be tackled by seamen but i think women were not subway stations or many shops remain closed throughout saturday after friday night's protests ended in clashes hong kong's leader has just to fight the facemask ban by saying her government is only acting to stop the violence. huh. is facing a un president it's violence attack the government needs to take drastic measures to say no to violence restore peace in society he said will protect citizens rights to continue his daily lives and freedom was not allowing a small group of rioters to destroy it's also a little. but many protesters disagree blaming the heavy handed tactics used by hong kong's police. they say major political concessions and not sure

before being shot dead on thursday. well it's the opening weekend of one of the most anticipated movies of the fall season the movie joker is based on the batman comic book villain. joker. but as moviegoers in the u.s. line up to see joker they'll be greeted by increased security as because the film based on a comic book villain is prompting fears of real life violence. and reporter carl nast men joins us in the studio with more on karl what's going on where people so worried that you have police security agencies in the u.s. there are high alert the f.b.i. as well is warning about violence minute century there seems to threatening posts online regarding quote unspecific mass shootings and those are linked to the opening of dzhokhar and those threats are being taken very seriously this is how

seriously the new york premiere here in manhattan you can see canine team bomb sniffing dogs there at the door to the theater at many theaters across the country they're also banning any sort of costumes so take a look here you're not allowed to wear a mask cape cloaks no costumes whether you're dressed as a joke or a batman it doesn't matter you will not be allowed in even earlier this week in los angeles the theater was shut down because of a threat that was deemed to be credible the movie theater then reopened but this weekend they'll have high security there the specific concern really across the country is something that's being called lone offender violence that's essentially one person who is armed and might go into one of these movie theaters and. and fire fortunately so far there have been no incidents reported it's been peaceful in fact the crowds have certainly not been staying away the movie broke box office records on its opening night ok but help me understand here it seems like every other movie these days is a comic book based film with lots of violence which is

a problem here i mean we see this all the time why there's comic book movies coming out left and right i mean so it's not necessarily the violence in this movie it's really the way that the main character is being treated in the movie he's lifted up his it's very sympathetic about the joker he's the antihero he's troubled he's isolated he's being bullied he's rejected by society basically until he turns to violence to get his revenge and that is what really might ring a bit too true for some people so the brie is that someone might just try to copy what the joker does in the movie adding to those concerns and there was a prior shooting at a batman movie premier you remember in 2012 colorado there was a shooting a man walked in and opened fire during the dark knight rises that's another movie featuring the joker 12 people were killed the 70 people were injured in that shooting in fact that same movie theater in colorado will not be showing the joker this weekend they're not taking any chances and is that shooting in colorado

casting a shadow over the release in some way dad is especially for the the families of the relatives of the people that were killed in that shooting they in fact wrote a letter sent it to the c.e.o. of warner brothers they're asking that the movie studio essentially support gun control measures this is that letter and as you can see they're expressing concern about the movie and also asking for an end to political contributions to pro gun politicians and for more funding for anti gun violence programs warner brothers has responded they say look we believe that storytelling is meant to quote provoke difficult conversations and that the film in the character not of course indorsements of any kind of real world violence certainly people going to see this movie it's open now in the u.s. and it's coming to germany next week ok thanks for that. for now we turn to sports and business leaders soccer it was a dramatic day for buyers who suffered a shock home defeat but their rivals failed to take full advantage leaders by our

electricity but what's really special was what's on the roof a ski slope and a hiking trail have just officially been opened to the public. sensational the design and say they wanted to be a space for everyone. it's not just for skiing we designed a new green space in the city with real biodiversity and in the middle of copenhagen you can now go skiing hiking and enjoy the outdoors. the rooftop is covered in the kind of official mish simply grows through the matching. in one of the most expensive cities in the world city planners thought it crazy not to make use of the roof top surface so after spending around 470000000 euros on the waste plant they forked out a further 12000000 on the rooftop project. see that as an opportunity.

when you invest so much money to do something more so instead of having separated culture and less show from practicalities take the merge them into something new and more interesting. planners hope all the outdoor activity will have a positive effect on residents general health and well being. it's free to access the rooftop but an annual ski pass will cost $365.00 your. day pass will set you back just 20. organizers say any income generated will go to the slopes maintenance costs. the idea seems to have gone down well with many here. and the idea is proving to be popular elsewhere the architectural firm is now set to develop a green rooftop in paris to improve air quality and the french capital. and a reminder of the top stories we're following for you. riot police are out on the
