8:06 am
a little on the self where there are areas of national park and if those fires all of those parts of the city well the out of line areas were ignited then the danger is as far as could be blown into urban areas and as many as $100000.00 homes at risk ok we're seeing images here of the smoke already covering sydney and these fires of course already have a political dimension with the australian government coming in for some harsh criticism for its policies on climate change let's listen to a mare of one town in new south wales. not a political thing it's a scientific fact that we are going through climate change and of course it's not relevant at the moment when papers houses are burning and we've lost lives but they are overall thing is we are sorry draw in this country we haven't had rain for 4
8:07 am
years in some places. over dams and creeks and rivers are dry and we need to look at what we're going to do about that in the future and to deny climate change is to me a very. ill informed and educated way of looking at things roger how much criticism is the government facing right now that has failed to address the conditions that are contributing to these catastrophic fires. would certainly created or it words were doing no politicians of all political or colors the government's been accused of ignoring climate change one green senate seat in parliament earlier today but some politicians were a little more the assonance because of the way they supported the coal industry in recent years the prime minister scott morrison refuses to pin the crisis directly on climate change and there are some on the other side who claim that greenlit
8:08 am
councillors might also be contributing to the problem by refusing to a low hazard reduction program to take place during the winter months thereby clearing of education which might be ignited during the summer but others say it's not it's really not the time to make political points of the mythos coleman its government minister here said it wasn't appropriate to bring politics into the debate when people were losing their lives and as a good point in the police are reiterated by the new south wales premier their g.p. and who said she was quite willing to discuss the issue of climate change not of the moment when people were dying and many people were also losing their homes and the emphasis is on evacuation right now as well roger maynard thanks so much for that from certain it's to bolivia now in the former bolivian president a former all us is on his way to mexico where he's been given asylum resigned sunday a mass protest against the ledger election fraud his resignation has left

8:10 am
morale is ousting has left a power vacuum the deputy head of the senate says she is willing to take over as interim president until new elections are held to help the country get through the crisis but the decision is up to the believe in congress. this is just to provide some certainty for the country. for an end to the vandalism. so that there are no more deaths women who are raped. i don't think bolivians deserve this it's urgent that there is some certainty for the people. so if civil organizations agree i will take up the task. we really even after morales departure tensions remain high on the streets of the capital. police and the military are steeling themselves for more violence. let's preview known some of the other stories making the news today security forces in chile have fired water

a day after some of the worst violence there in 5 months tensions are running high after a police officer shot a demonstrator at close range lamb branded activist selfish today urged schools and universities to discourage them from protesting. but activists are already back on the streets many roads are closed schools and colleges have canceled classes and there are reports of police firing tear gas let's get the latest now with the w.'s mathias in hong kong tuesday morning to you what's happening where you are. i am now in central the city's central business district around me ah the headquarters of major international fans luxury shops and there is a fresh more protests to the office workers have come down during lunch time just. age of protest alongside with the radical protestors we have seen scenes earlier
8:13 am
when the radicals and their black the black clad people cross between all these white shirts and the white shirts applauded them so it's obvious that the these office workers who have come down in numbers today do not agree with carrie lamb's assessment that the protesters were selfish or as she also put it the enemy of the people because ok so this would indicate it hasn't seen in the past broader base to these protests than yesterday's saw some of the worst violence so far in the conflict in hong kong what led to the escalation we saw yesterday. i well there were several tragic events on friday a protester dark knight who had pulled an inside a parking deck we do not know what caused his death or what caused him to fall from there but there have been speculations that he was fleeing from the police and
8:14 am
these rumors or these speculations are enough to fuel anger at the moment because people do not trust the police will investigate this properly and then yesterday these shops were off closed in the very morning by a traffic policeman who was tackling a protester and then. shooting another one when he approached of course this fuel tank that yesterday was a day that was already gone down to ask ken lay because the protesters had called on a general strike on i wrote blocks and then later we've seen other p.c. this time from the protesters who set ablaze a man seemingly that's what video footage shows so all these of course acts of violence from both sides day they need to hardening on both sides they lead to an escalation they lead to. hard hitting on the government side and a growing anger on the side of the protests is ok mathias we're just looking at
8:15 am
some live images from hong kong that give us an idea of the tensions out there on the streets where you are can you briefly walk us through what we can expect later today. i watch a day is going to continue it is a bit less intense though than yesterday but we have seen especially around the universities but also in other places off the city chagas had already in the very early morning that is something that has rarely happened usually that the days even the protest days start fairly slow and then it escalates towards the evening so tensions are high. so we might see more clashes today we will certainly see more clashes today and it might continue into the next few days it is thanks very much for that from hong kong this morning. i know it's to the united states now where the supreme court there begins hearings today to consider whether the trumpet

ministration illegally ended the so-called dream or program of this program allowed undocumented migrants brought to the u.s. as children to live and work in the u.s. legally the program was introduced under the obama administration. georgetown university in washington d.c. is where i decided gonzales studies and lives. and she was born in mexico but was brought up in arizona. and is an undocumented migrant but as a doctor recipient she's been able to make great leaps towards a better future now i have better chance of getting more scholarships or attending university and getting a job like i had never had a job until i got to college and i when i got my 1st paycheck in iraq i was able to fill out that social security box and i was like this feels so weird and it feels good in a. like i was able to get us that id but it's little things like that that make it

8:18 am
communities are put in immediate danger there is a lot at stake with the supreme court. in georgetown is nervous about what the future holds but remains hopeful i'm kind of numb to the point of this what's going to happen to dr recipients it's going to happen to dreamers. just let me know because at this point i'm kind of like i need to make a plan and if that plan is going to the u.s. i need to know. but i am in a way i hope i don't go heartbroken by the decision and like any time i do get a bad decision is just over it for a few for a few days and then getting back up. alternatives that's been my whole life and i think it will continue to be my whole life. the other doctor recipients will have to wait a decision from the. court is expected sometime before next summer. turkey
