they've been back on the streets after days of heavy clashes. electric car maker tesla is to build its new european ticket factory near berlin the facility will make vehicles power trains and batteries c.e.o. elon musk says germany had been chosen because of its engineering problems. and we meet an indian boy who's become the very definition of inspiration abdul qadeer swims competitively even though he's lost his arms and interacts with his family support these 13 national trophies in this now aiming for the 2024 paralympic. hello i'm terry martin good to have you with us in bolivia opposition senator. has declared herself in. from president following the resignation of former leader if

it were all this the calls to tional court has endorsed even though there were not enough lawmakers present in congress to appoint her or alice has gone into exile in mexico he's condemned as accusing her of instigating a coup. yes we could libya's opposition chance the presidential palace is finally there is up to 14 years but in the most controversial of circumstances you know and i knew as has been countries rula since she entered libyan politics over a decade ago now in the midst of a political crisis the senate vice president has declared itself the country's new president and thank you to everyone in bolivia ethics keeping faith i promise to attend democracy and stability to build if you. like. but has the news come to power democratically in moments she made her constitutional case.

that. with the ruling party boycotting the national assembly she told opposition lawmakers that she had to step into the breach and type the president's job. approval of the i assume the state presidency immediately as specified in the constitution. that longtime leader of a morale of the shadow still looms over events a time morale is now in mexico where he was granted asylum off to he resigned. from there he's continuing to rage against his removal from power. on twitter morale is quickly responded to and he has this declaration writing the sneakiest and most nefarious coup in history has been completed a right wing coup mongering senator has proclaimed his. president of the senate and

then interim president of bolivia. i'm around they still has the supporters especially among the country's poor indigenous communities they've responded with anger and yes this declaration. ok. let's than a month after a presidential election plunge the country into chaos the battle for libya so only seems to be escalating let's get some analysis now from the tussle linge that of essex university in the u.k. she's a professor of government and an expert on authoritarian regimes thanks for being with us this morning professor up 1st of all we've got an opposition politician. declaring herself interim president of bolivia while the former president if a morale this is calling it a coup how do you see this playing out well hopefully they're going to be able to hold elections and yes had announced yesterday that they were hoping to hold elections by mid to late january and that's what's going to be really critical

to restoring confidence and trust in the system and i can see that what alice from mexico will be trying to rile up his supporters will be stating that he's going to be making a comeback and that's going to create instability because for the moment there's a large portion of the population that is fed up with him fed up with the fact that he violated 2001 constitution in an engineer and a 4th term in office so the big hope libya is that they could somehow against ability in this interim period by now seeing that elections are going to take place and then that will gain public trust this in a chance that more of us will stage a comeback i mean he still has quite a following. he does and i think it's definitely likely he is going to seem to come back in just a matter of when and it's more likely to be successful if you just wait and bite his time a little bit and then allows this next elections and play out and then tries to

come back it's going to be a huge mess and he tries to come back to. well ok let's look at the bigger picture here bolivia is having a crisis obviously there's an uprising though also in neighboring chile ecuador and who honduras are experiencing on rest how concerned should we be about this instability in latin america. it's very concerning but this has been a problem that latin america has faced for decades because they have incredibly huge gaps between rich and poor as we've seen in chile and you have very personal istic style of will you have a very weak party and you have very low levels of trust political trust and trust in one another and this is a recipe for a lot of instability and we've seen this over and over again where there's been cycles of dictatorship fall by a little bit of democracy and then followed by instability it's actually have been a really democratic period for latin america and so the hopes are with this

particular instance in libya if they can restore stability quickly move towards democracy that could be a model for other countries professor thank you very much for talking with us that was natasha lynched a professor of government at essex university. now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world today don't trump his facing the biggest challenge yet of his presidency with potentially explosive televised impeachment hearings due to open later today democrats are seeking to prove trump abused his office by seeking ukraine's help for his 2020 reelection campaign trump insists the inquiry is corrupt and illegal. at least 7 people have been killed in a car bomb explosion near the interior ministry in the afghan capital kabul no group has yet claimed responsibility the blast comes a day after a prisoner exchange between the government and taliban insurgents which was aimed at diffusing bottoms in afghanistan. the highest tide in more than half

a century has flooded much of central venice tourist magnets think looting st mark's square have been left under water as the tide level peaked at just under 2 meters a citywide flood protection scheme has been plagued by spiraling costs. hong kong police chief is say approached. democracy demonstrators are pushing the city to quote the brink of a total break. 2 days have been among the most violent since the demonstrations began 5 months ago. the main flashpoint has become the university district where there have been fresh clashes between demonstrators police. they say they're protecting their university just say use anything they can get their hands on secrete barricades so campuses have emerged as the latest front in battles with the police. the students are determined to fight for their freedom.

this is a fight for the whole generation we are not letting go slowly change our place our hope. it doesn't take long for things to escalate. the familiar click of tear gas being fired. seems like this play out across hong kong like here in the financial center. there now seemingly normal parts of 5 months of unresolved protests the police say this city is on the brink of a breakdown. journeys daily life disrupted after protesters through debris on the tracks. asked what he'll do says the protest leader no choice but to go home and not work. police and protesters accuse each other of brutality on monday the protesters set amount on fire after an

argument. police are investigating the incident as attempted murder. they've also defended shooting a protester saying they were concerned for their own safety. well in a situation like this we believe we're acting according to the guidelines to protect ourselves as well as the people around us. with more protests expected the fear on both sides is that the already fallen house situation is only likely to get worse. for spotting the ts pulling a has been covering the protests from the beginning and joins us now from hong kong but the police there warning that the city is on the brink of a total breakdown what's your impression. well i am now not very far from the central business district one off the center of today's clashes where chinese banks have been vandalized and police and protesters have been charging at each each other as you can see shops here are working so people

somehow do get along but what is true is that we have seen an escalation in violence in these last 2 days that is unprecedented. there have been clashes all over this city into the until late at night before the clashes used to end some time around midnight latest 2 o'clock this morning it was until very early protestors have occupy campuses have fought back police for the 1st time since these. demonstrations of these protests started so there is the there is an escalation both sides are hardening there's no doubt about that but he has these protests seem to have taken on a life of their own now do the demonstrators still ahead clear demands that have any chance of being met. they have very clear demands their 5

demands and one of them has been met that's the withdraw of this anti extradition bill but there is a very important demand for an independent investigation into the police something that would probably ease tensions here but the protesters are saying all their 5 demands must be met and colluding universal suffrage to democratic elections that is very unlikely that this would be met considering that beijing has to make a decision on that and we have a hardline government in beijing highly ideological that will not meet this demand furthermore the chief executive has said she is not willing to meet any of the demands. saying. this would just give them a satans off that they achieve something with violence so she thinks the best way to deal with this is not meeting their demands she's been doing this for 4 months it's her assessment obviously why she thinks that this is wood. but here's what he

expect to happen there today. we see we know it's seeing the clashes in different parts of this city and the university that has been occupied yesterday with the police has been pushed out off campus is of course at this center today i we are not sure now how the police is going to react most people expect that and at some point they will try to come back there to protest this i have seen it yesterday have prepared hundreds of molotov cocktails to meet them so this is of course a very very. tired very very worrying situation but here is thank you very much for bringing us up to date there correspondent mathias piling up in hong kong you're watching news still to come electric car maker tesla just to build its new european gigafactory near berlin we'll find out why tesla has chosen

one of the world's most expensive manufacturing countries. now there are fears of an escalation of violence between israelis and palestinians after some of the worst attacks in years along the gaza border 12 people have died in gaza in exchanges of fire between israel and palestinian militants that started with an israeli airstrike on tuesday that killed a militant palestinian leader a series of rockets was fired into israel in retaliation. choose de morning scene at the home of islamic jihad senior commander abu atta. hours later islamic jihad fighters respond with a barrel of rocket attacks from. over the border in israel the warning sirens sound once again. israel's iron dome air defense system intercepts many of them but some do get

through. damaging peoples' homes and injuring some israelis. many choose to evacuate from the israel gaza border israel's response in gaza more airstrikes killing several palestinians. israel is not interested in escalation but we will do anything to defend ourselves . islamic jihad founds revenge for the death of. siobhan we are sure our people and our holy fighters that we have no choice but confrontation. israel strike on a popular and see israel militant came during a period of relative peace but now the deadly to and fro of rockets is back.

israel is in political turmoil right now perhaps headed for a 3rd general election in less than a year netanyahu is under intense pressure and has recently been criticized for his failure to stop rocket attacks from militants in gaza now he's responsible for a targeted assassination but consequently more rockets. tesla is said to build its 1st european factory on the outskirts of berlin c.e.o. announced the plan at an awards ceremony in the german capital the new gigafactory as it's called will produce vehicles power trains and batteries last says tesla chose germany because of the country's reputation for engineering prowess the new plants will create around 10000 new jobs and we based near berlin's new rather long delayed. let's get more on this now

from his role. watts from the business could see rob. first but still listen here why his must decided to build a big factory near berlin in germany at all what's the business rationale behind this but as you mentioned germany has engineering prowess that's known throughout the world that made in germany badges something that's much coveted so that's one of the reasons that he's given for doing this it also as we know has one of the biggest automotive sector is in the world so there's already a great deal of talent here that he can shore panos a german regulators a well used to dealing with mass market car produces the infrastructure in germany is very good for getting those cars out there and also the german government is protective of its automotive sector it helps them out there is also something that tesla specifically can benefit from which is the german government is planning to

invest around a 1000000000 euros in the production of electric car batteries so that's something that's right up test streets but there are drawbacks of course to germany it is one of the most expensive places to manufacture in europe but these are not cheap cars tesla cars you know you that you're looking at upwards of $40000.00 euros for the cheapest one so that's less of an issue for tesla ok well obviously musk thinks there's a market for these cars in germany and elsewhere in europe and he thinks it makes good business sense to build it here but. you know fill us in on what this factory is actually going to do what it is when is it supposed to finally be up and running and what's going to roll out of it so he was a little light on detail during this speech yesterday he didn't say exactly when it's going to open but tesla has said in the past that it wants to begin producing in europe in 2021 now that seems like quite a fast turnaround but if you bear in mind that tesla started building

a factory in shanghai earlier this year and has already big. test production now you can see that it's not beyond the realms or civility that that could be the date we're looking at as for the want well he said in a tweet that he posted after making this speech that they're going to build batteries power trains which sound more exciting than they are they're basically what transfers the power from the battery to the wheels and the vehicle is themselves starting with the test a model while we also understand that a bit further down the line they may start building the tesla model 3 that as well it looks like this plant is going to be a similar scale to the one i just mentioned in shanghai if that's the case the one in shanghai is a expected to be producing half a 1000000 vehicles a year at its peak ok you mentioned german car makers in the german government liking liking to support them protect them in some cases what do german car makers make of this move do they see it as a threat well it has to be

a threat to some extent does need that you've got a major comic moving to your doorstep moving onto your turf presumably by producing in europe it will mean that these cars become cheaper to buy for consumers in europe so that's something that they've got to think about it's also a competition for the german car makers who have got their own electric car projects in the pipeline and tesla has to be in ahead of the game on a few of those things but the same time they're all ways in which you can see this as a positive forward germans automotive sector i mean at the very least it's a vote of confidence at a time when they're still reeling from diesel gauge you know say there's falling demand around the world that's hitting german comic is there's also the fact that germany germany's comic is have struggled to modernize and having such a innovative company as test moving into that territory could be just the shove they need the innovation game competition and maybe a vote of confidence watch from v.w.
