correspondent charlotte shelf impale who is in hong kong for us charlotte tell us what is happening right now where you are. and you know it's been another extremely violent evening this evening police and protesters for hours were really playing a cats and mouse game in this area that we're in at the moment protesters would gather police then would move in with water cannon tear gas the protesters would be dispersed and then they'd quickly congregate again somewhere out earlier this evening though we did see what appeared to be the final move by police we saw masses of police officers running towards the protesters that were gathered just near here sending those protesters scattering it looked like a couple of those protesters were detained though it's difficult to confirm that at the moment but it really has been striking today just how much tear gas and water cannon have been used by police officers of course the protesters as well have been taking part in some of the violence we've seen protesters throwing molotov

cocktails towards the police a number of them have been vandalizing buildings that have links to mainland china but there has been an immense amount of tear gas and water cannon on the streets today clearing the protest is in fact a mosque was targeted by that water cannon it was hit by blue dye which is so often seen in the water cannon that's being used by police at the moment police have issued a statement saying it was unintended that the mosque was hit but out really is something that has upset a lot of people here today ok so clearly a very tense atmosphere charlotte but as you were saying the police seem particularly jumpy they're clearly responding responding with force when one of your own experience has been one of what have you been seeing. well tensions have been building off by over the last 20 we can see now that we've seen these protesters police and protesters ally you can really feel the tension building we have an experience here on this evening as we are trying to leave the

area off the police that performed that clearance operation my producer and i was separated briefly where i was a few paces behind them we tried to 'd follow them go down the same side street police stopped me saying i had to go back the other way my producer came forward and said that we were together and could i follow her and then a police officer started shouting in our face he pushed and then we were all shoved multiple times away from the scene we were trying to to leave as it happened but that didn't stop them pushing as some people who were around us saying where we go because we had police officers on either side that is just an example of some of the situations that can arise here. local media have been reporting situations like this repeatedly for the last few weeks but when you walk or talk in the middle of these clashes when you are caught in these very tense situations that go on for hours now is often these kind of situations have been starting to occur. some

fill in a very tense hong kong thanks so much. now bolivians all voting in elections today deciding whether to give less when president evo morales has a forced their all as a faces a tough race opinion polls suggest he may not win an outright victory now that would trigger a runoff election later this year has been credited with using revenues from the country's gas and mineral reserves to list millions out of poverty but allegations of corruption and anti democratic practices have hurt his popularity on next report looks at a divided society now considering its options. at this market in la paz the presidential election is the number one talking point when a simple no it's time for a change morales has been in power for too long at the moment look ok got a label i want ever more alice to carry on until 2025. leftist eva

morales has governed bolivia for the past 13 years and he took the lead in pre-election polls the former cocoa farmer has improved conditions for the country's indigenous population la paz now has a modern climate friendly cable car network the economy has been growing for years thanks mainly to bolivia's gas exports. but norad his candidacy is controversial as the constitution bans him from running for a 4th time. a year now for it they can afford this incessant of us and their perception is that the president has deliberately ignored the rules. many bolivians worried that morales believe nor the rules in future to. proceed in that that maybe a lot of. the president is also facing criticism for the fires that ravished bolivia's rain forest this year the backlash could cost him the election.

in lebanon tens of thousands of people have converged on the streets of beirut for a 4th consecutive day demonstrates a state into the night waving flags and singing protesting against new taxes and austerity measures proposed by the government aimed at tackling the country's growing economic crisis that many lebanese blame the political elite for the poor state of the economy. and for more i'm joined by our correspondent in beirut basle thanks for joining us now this is being the false day of mass protests in lebanon what is it exactly that is driving people on to the streets like this the main reason beyond all these demonstrations of protests in lebanese cities that the government try to impose more taxes on the bodies population especially when we're talking about telecom this small the main

issue all these people to the streets is more overt. also the government imposed more taxes trying to save energy economy and lebanon. what more can you tell us about this battle because as as you said the government is set to present a reform package on monday aimed at easing the economic crisis. in fact the prime minister aside how do you do that. you think with the ministers and all the political parties and lebanon trying to figure out which package should be cut off to the economy is moving down to playing on the budget pressures done by the street by protest goes bust on to this moment we have a little bit. some teeth or some info about this package that showed the old if the they are taking this lead in maine is better because they said that these 3

told can be done years ago why the government want to do these packages because one day when they have all these pressure from the protesters in the streets but until now all this indicates indicates that. these reforms won't take people from deceit . ok so government under oppression a full minister has announced a resignation on saturday is this a government that can survive. so we're going to see political well used the government can survive these foreign ministers can be substituted. by other foreign ministers but this all is related to the. streets if they accept the packages that the government will survive until this moment

all the indication all the streets you have old the city of lebanon are flooded with protests this would you indicate as well that all this because reforms won't be accepted by this by the street the main demand is do these on so we think we should break into more we don't have a government the meeting or mr means we think the cabinet which should thank you which should discuss all the spec it's all right bustle every day in beirut thanks a much thank you. now the u.k.'s foreign secretary dominic rob says he is confident the government's backs a deal will get through parliament next week you know mate most u.k. lawmakers voted on saturday to postpone ratifying the proposed breck's a deal that was struck but between prime minister barra's jumps in and the e.u. jumps and then sent 2 contradictory letters to brussels one asking for

a back seat to lay and a 2nd saying that he doesn't actually want to delay and restating his determination for bracks it to happen by the end of. that we reached the best possible a tale of 2 letters after a day of parliamentary wrangling boris johnson was forced to write to the e.u. requesting get another brags that delay he had earlier said he would rather be dead in a ditch than request another extension to show is on happiness he did not sign the letter to his fellow briggs a tears that was making the best of a bad business letter was sent because paul and it required to be sent paul it consists of the letter was sent a poem and can't change the problem is just annoying as if to prove that point johnson then sent another letter more true to his heart arguing against any delay and this time he signed it so with less than 2 dates and tell oct 31st what will happen next. summer bracing for more legal and parliamentary

maneuvers that could bog down any progress meanwhile the idea of having another referendum on leaving the e.u. seems to be gaining ground hundreds of thousands of protesters massed in london while parliament was in session calling for britain to remain in the e.u. . we've good steak the timing of this we've got to get back to people we've got to do a lot more thinking it's not all right just to say well it's been 3 years now where all that's involved with that no will i think i'm a bit confused about what happens next i'm not quite sure why is it a lie i think that people who are on if they want to lie so they can have a referendum after years of wrangling over brags that many britons and people in the rest of the e.u. are exhausted by all the drama but the latest on may means the play will run a little longer. it's in sports now and there were 2 been the same league games on sunday in the late one off and time stopped cheika from growing going top of the
