rail rail fares of the arrived and started rescue work. to say that. this was just the latest in a series of accidents on pakistan's railways a lack of investment has caused the system to fall into disrepair but it's the worst disaster on the country's railway in almost 15 years and the death toll could rise further. joining me now is journalist. is on the speaking to me from the pakistani capital islamabad welcome us and 1st of all can you bring us up to date with the latest from the scene of the accident. yes what we now know is that the rescue work at the scene seems to have concluded authorities say that about 150 kilometers south of most on is where this accident occurred and they are now ferrying those who are more seriously injured to the city of motown which has better health facilities is the major urban center in the area now because the area is so remote and of course the incident took place on the

train tracks so it's not quite close to a rule that cetera so some helicopters are also been called in the military is providing those to ferry those who are more seriously wounded to the serious burns units one of the problems that doctors have been facing on the ground is that the closest. does not have a burns unit in the local government run hospital and so they were very quickly overwhelmed and now people are being very doable don as we say authorities have also said that the track closure of the is not going to affect train schedules they claim that trains are all running on schedule and that the train that is currently still stuck on the tracks will be cleared quite soon and what can you tell us about the cause of the accident because it's claimed a huge amount of casualties. yes what it seems like happened to officials who are reporting on this that it was in the fire was caused by a gas stove that was being used a crude to cook breakfast this morning now this unfortunately is quite

a common occurrence on pakistani trains because while the carrying of gas stoves or things of this nature is actually prohibited on these trains a security checks are quite lax when it comes to enter city transport probably rail is the is the most lax when it comes to security checks and so what is quite common is for people to carry their own tools in their own things on board because the israelis are quite long as you mentioned the journey was from the southern city of karachi all the way up to the old bin b. which is typically takes about 18 or 20 hours for this journey they were cooking breakfast they stayed over they slept overnight they can represent 630 this morning when one of the stalls caused the gas burner that was there was fueling it to catch fire and then that in turn apparently goes do still that was next to it to catch fire and that set ablaze one of the coaches know when one of the coaches was ablaze said the 2 adjoining coaches on fire as well and that's why we've seen such high casualties and often it seems that train accidents i'm not uncommon in pakistan

what's the reaction been to this one. well there have been definite calls for a proper investigation into how it was allowed for these gas canisters to be allowed on board in the 1st place and for those responsible going even as high as there really was minister to resign over this issue as you say correctly this is not the 1st time that we've seen an accident pakistan's real system in fact in the last year we've seen at least 7 accidents happen we've seen at least 2 head on collisions and some do really meant as well now a lot of this is due to pakistan's e.g. real incest structure many of the rails that have been laid down and the infrastructure that goes around it is actually from the colonial era still and i'm going this is obviously a huge task that requires the vast amount of investment funds on has been trying to do this over the years and not used for its own industrial is to be able to move things by freight more easily but given the amount of money that is required and given the paucity of government resources it seems like that's something that is

unlikely to happen right. thank you very much for that update from that. thank you a court in hong kong a scranton injunction sought by the embattled government which could restrict the public's right to freedom of speech the ruling bans the publication of a material online that's quote promotes encourages or incites the threat of violence but this is a march in on the trees party district $400.00 which usually attracts knowledge numbers of people celebrating activists on causing people to wear masks of political figures in defiance of a ban on face mosques introduced earlier this month. joining me now is shawna chosen because she is in hong kong charlotte 1st of 4 tell me exactly where you are and what does this internet injunction mean.

every time i am on one of the most well known one of the busiest poncy districts of home call this entire week of course this should be filled with revelers instead it's filled with protesters with police and with members of the press as well police just behind me a botched the cordoned off this area meaning that revenues cars even get into the ball the clubs that are around it even if they wanted to there is such a great concern about violence breaking out kids night particularly as you say in light of the latest news today this interim injunction that has been granted which means that there is a ban on anything forced to incite violence on the internet platforms that would include problems like telegram which protesters years regularly to communicate and so tonight protestors well there's a lot of confusion about that injunction at the moment it's not very clear exactly what the scope will be but there are concerns that it will affect freedom of speech

here in hong kong is also not required how that will be policed going forward to the snowden is that it will be in effect and so they've been to 58 when that will. the hearing on this to determine what will happen good. and charlotte really looking at live pictures coming out of hong kong with a very strong police presence and looking behind you we can see a lot of pro-democracy protesters are also out in force and some will send in halloween masks as you said. fears that they could be an eruption of violence or clashes. there's a huge police presence of presence on the streets today amrita we've been hearing that there are 3000 riot police are on the streets as well and 3 quotes are added as well preparing for potential clashes this streets as i say here is completely blocked off at the moment for fear of fear of violence here and that of course would have very serious consequences the musher what you can quite house from just

behind me but this is a very narrow street absolutely packed with people if there want to be violence here if if police were for example to fire tear gas it i could have very serious consequences in fact back in 1992 this was the scene of the stampede only the wish 20 people were killed this really could be a very volatile situation was violence to break out here now there are just protests happening here there are rules there protests happening as you mentioned a short time ago in another area of hong kong in cow learning to camp have already been fired that phrase as they're demonstrating because they're marking 2 months since police stormed the train station that beating protesters a lot of anger again operator on the streets and beyond the king and other pictures shots coming up from home going to get in showing very strong police presence and an air of tension there tell us a bit more money why the demonstrators are protesting today and what is the significance of this protest. what we've really

seen over the course of these 5 months of protests emirates a these protests always try and find another. way of reinventing them another reason for them to take to the streets and attract a crowd and how the week is the ideal opportunity for that time when you could have looked the people on the streets already protesters here and elsewhere how do we get a police stress that they can be forced to take them all if the police seem unnecessary said protesters he could join the revolution on the streets where you see the number of them wearing the chinese president xi. hong kong chief executive carry lammas well this is the time to really grab public attention and to cause a great deal of disruption like we're seeing on the usually streaming buzzing. party district seana chosen bill in hong kong thank you very much for this opted from that. they've been having yukked it with some other stories making news around

last year. south african police have forcibly evicted scores of migrants and refugees have been camping out for weeks and gave town around $100.00 people were temporarily arrested after violent clashes in front of the united nations building the migrants are not demanding to stay in fact they want to leave this is a recent wave of xenophobic violence directed at african migrants shows south africa is no longer safe. they came to south africa to seek refuge or simply a better future now all they want is to get out for weeks hundreds of migrants have been camping here outside the u.n. refugee agency in capetown demanding to be relocated to other countries but on wednesday after an eviction order the police moved in.

they fired water cannons and stun grenades. the. police say they arrested some 100 foreign nationals who refused to disperse. for the protesters the use of force by the police is fueling anger over what they call as xenophobia atmosphere in south africa yes 63 yes thank you very much indeed even for your next military that mr imus at the time and every sunday night we're putting a circular definition of a little over 10 years but you know even if you got i was going to talk a little bit well for you know anybody if anybody could just look at the film or digital. i many migrants from other african countries go to south africa seeking better job prospects. but after a spate of deadly riots in attacks in september many say they no longer feel safe

here. that's why these protesters in cape town have been calling on the u.n. to move them to another country. last week the un refugee agency issued a statement saying false messages were being circulated about resettlement and that only a very small number of refugees and asylum seekers met the criteria but that didn't stop the protests here. i. i after wednesday's police operation remaining demonstrators headed on. so now their new home is a local church where they've been given temporary shelter. of these obvious scars on our dream chris is standing right outside the very church in cape town and joins me now from the hi arvin what people are saying to you there and

what is going to happen to these people. so you know i'm still in front of the church here right now you can find a lot of people sleeping outside at the moment some are cooking more even inside in total we say that about 300 refugees and migrants are seeking shelter here at the moment and they're not sure what is going to happen because it is quite unlikely that their demands will be met many of them are asking to be relocated to a 3rd country they would not want to go back to their home countries because they say it is not safe and it was going to be difficult to find a solution because this 270000 refugees in south africa are now imagine the government or the university i would take a decision to take this group somewhere else it would be likely that others would be interested in such a solution as well and why did police crackdown so how did on the protest is it going to be an investigation among the level of force used specially given to the women and children that. are. right we've all seen these shocking pictures from

yesterday and a lot of people are actually calling for an investigation because of this massive force massive use of violence that we've seen yesterday by the police here grenades there was a lot of things going on the women were beaten in front of their children but we also have to say realistically it's not likely that such an investigation is going to happen we've seen that in the past often when protests separating the police overreacting and there are no consequences and on didn't give us a bit about the bigger picture why are these xenophobic attacks taking place and who are the people who are being targeted oh my goodness the level of i mean when apartheid ended here 25 years ago the hopes are very high for the poor majority of that the economic situation will improve for them but the reality at the moment is 60 percent of the young people in south africa unemployed this year alone another half a 1000000 people out of work and this leads to a lot of frustration but we also have to say the peak of the violence that we have seen was not in cape town it happened in other cities like in johannesburg and we

have a look over here on the other side of the church you can see some shops or. on this side where people are actually selling us some odd works the cheeriest these are mainly nationals from other african countries as well and i talk to some of them they do not disagree with what some people here are saying that they're not safe here they're actually not happy that this protest is happening here because it is bad for their business right to contact situation in cape town south africa thank you very much for your reporting. he was in the news coming up ahead we take a look at that and jerusalem's new underground city of the dead thousands of tombs will help relieve pressure on the city's all the trotted cemeteries. the 1st one finds have broken out in southern california over a dozen blazes in the state some of being spread by gusts of up to 110 kilometer. hundreds of thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes and final companies have got electricity supplies to prevent down 2 lines from starting more
