no proof but it still has to work out how to handle the. hello i'm terry martin good to have you with us a man has died in hong kong after being caught in clashes between pro-democracy demonstrators and police the 70 year old street cleaner was hit in the head with a brick on wednesday it's not clear who threw it earlier this month a student fell from a car park and later died from his injuries the unrest in hong kong has worsened in recent days after more than 5 months of anti-government unrest. well let's cross over to hong kong where our correspondent mathias bellinger is standing by for us but he is this is now the 2nd death related to the protests within a week what more do we know about how this particular incident happened.

we know that 2 groups of people were standing were confronting each other hurling bricks at each other one of the groups were protesters and the other groups the other group were people who were against the protest it is not very clear where these people came from it happened at a supper of hong kong and the very north near the chinese border whether they were from the place or whether they had gathered there. so these 2 groups were holding bricks at each other and this street cleaner city administration said he was a street cleaner on his lunch break was in the middle between these 2 groups and he was hit then by a brick it is not clear whether he belonged to any off the groups or whether he just stood in the wrong place at the wrong time well this brick throwing incident clearly shows that people in hong kong are divided on their views about the protests and innocent people are getting caught up in it the difference in opinion

in hong kong extends to chinese mainland there's living there a single neighborhood forum on hong kong's political crisis one of many to achieve in that hong kong's vibrant civil society has organized so she all a g. lecture a mini lee is happy to speak out publicly something she would have never considered 11 years ago when she 1st moved to hong kong from the chinese mainland. 2 runs into a 100 foot home i suddenly heard so many different opinions when i arrived this and some of them felt completely unacceptable even just talking about the english team much i had a feeling of danger i felt they were foreign forces trying to change me or even brainwash me. but then i became curious on the edge of the house today mentally ardently supports free speech when the pro-democracy movement took to the streets in june she joined them and when the government ignored their

demands she even went on a hunger strike. since then the protests have escalated massively with police using tear gas and rubber bullets and protesters hurling petrol bombs and ric's almost daily and things just keep getting worse many people in hong kong are shocked by the violence. victim oh is one of them he also arrived in hong kong more than a decade ago he works in the financial sector and proudly identifies as a hong kong. boley all hong kong people must condemn the violence and the illegal acts no matter where we are from including our friends from germany the us japan we all need to stand up and say no to this though we are so this must stop. but he's not concerned about the city's freedoms to those who say they fear that

hong kong might become more and more like the mainland he responds so what question i'm saying that your source so i'm from lunging but i know very well which will be our finger to shanghai and to beijing and. i don't know hong kong very well so much should occur i think there's nothing to fear. i think the source of this fear is that people don't understand the mainland fully all which. we nearly however is afraid of losing her freedom videos she publicly defends democracy movement are circulating online when her father recently texted her from the mainland warning that what she said was inappropriate she knew who was behind it or biological for if i might have a doesn't know how to bypass the great firewall so there's no way he came across my speeches on the sense of chinese internet i didn't tell him. so the only way he

could have 9 is that state security told him so i asked him why the agents had visited him he didn't reply that you know why you want. me to leave hasn't been intimidated by the threats so far she's do speaking out hoping to preserve her hard won freedoms. but as we just saw there in your report the mainland chinese living in hong kong also have different views about the protests is it possible to generalize about hong kong or is how hong kong has in general regard mainland chinese in their midst. well in the last few years there has been a lot of concern about immigration from china there is a quote for new immigrants and a lot of the localist politicians have see this quota too high they see it as a deliberate policy to make the city more mainlanders this has not been at the

focus of these protests however these protests are about something else and it depends a lot on more on the opinion i would say than on the identity or for example the language that people use if you go to a protest and you speak mandarin you are probably going to be met with more suspicion than if you speak cantonese and opponents of the protests those who are pro-government often met with slogans saying go back to the mainland source that there is suspicion but if people integrate well into hong kong or if they endorse the protests or if they come and they voiced support for the protests they're met also quite well with the by the protesters so it depends a lot on the stance and on how the people. how the people react to it it there

is it is a topic that has been discussed a lot in this city. it is pulling out there reporting for us from hong kong now italy has declared a state of emergency after the catastrophic flooding in bed as the government in rome has released 20000000 euros for immediate aid prime minister just separate content described disaster as quote a blow to the heart of the nation the mayor of venice says the very future of the city is at stake to delhi is james jackson is covering the flooding and joy just now from venice james what's the situation in the city this morning all the water's still receding. it's quite the opposite the woods is definitely higher than they were yesterday even at the high point so people are not very hopeful things are looking was today compared to when we were here in the same square yesterday the same square as mark specific right behind me is already completely underwater. what's the extent of the damage so far i mean we the

water as you just mentioned is in the church again in the basilica but those are very valuable treasures there. so this is the worst flooding that they've had in 50 years and some of the people working in the basilica actually said this flooding is worse than 50 years ago in terms of the force which it flooded it with so we've had lots of cultural institutions of venice have been damaged some government buildings and of course ordinary people have really had their homes businesses destroyed almost all of the hotels had flooding the public transport the buses the viper at sea have been stopped in many cases and some cases sunk and it's important to note that this is salt water of course that has a corrosive effect that the central government declared a state of emergency and approved 20000000 euros in aid for venice how is that going to help. so they've said that it's going to be immediate funding and that

they're going to give it to ordinary people as wow. when there's been so much damage done as almost the definitions that we've spoken to have been really pessimistic about how it's going to help them one of them said to me this morning the government promises money but we never see any event. james thank you very much . james jackson there in venice. now some of the other stories making news around the world today media outlets in lebanon are reporting the political parties have agreed on a new prime minister mohammad. former finance minister is tipped to lead the country his predecessor resigned at the end of october following nationwide anti corruption protests the demonstrations have thrown 11 on into political and economic turmoil. the 16 year old who killed 2 students and wounded 3 others in a southern california high school has been described as

a quiet and smart youth no one expected to turn by the teen turned the gun on himself after the shooting he survived and is in a critical condition. turkey has begun to porting people it believes to be a foreign terrorist fighters thousands are currently detained in turkish camps a family of 7 has arrived here in berlin germany's foreign ministry has confirmed their german citizenship but says it doesn't know whether any of them are fighters of the so-called islamic state turkey has said it will deport 23 more european nationals in the next few days. so let's bring in our chief political editor mckayla mckayla what do we know about these deportees that have just arrived here in germany and their connection to islamic state or any other militant group. well it's a family of 7 who turkey describes as foreign terrorist fighters according to germany's

interior ministry there's no evidence here and any at least that they were actually involved in any kind of combat situation in even the link to this is not firmly established and no arrest warrants and as soon as they arrive they will be put through procedures 1st of all to establish their identity their german citizenship we believe they come from lower saxony the town of hilda's time and that's where they will also rather well known as part of the salafist scene before they left the country so we can expect them to be observed rather closely to begin with but with no arrest warrant and as it seems now no evidence being provided by turkey of direct involvement they will be on the radar of the security agencies here but that's pretty much what's going to happen. so what is germany planning to do with these deportees. well jimmy actually over the past 2 years has established

and the radicalization program so one could expect that they would be interviewed and also put in touch with. organizations but at the same time they will remain on a security radar but then by no means here in germany is seen as part of the group of people some 700 people who observed rather closely and seen actually as potential fighters a potential terrorists who is seen actually as a grave danger to move women who are perceived to have rather close links to i is also expected to arrive today on friday. what are these security implications if any of germany receiving these people that turkey were foreign terrorist fighters. well when you talk to experts they say these simply are not people who are seen as being a grave danger so there was even a warning of

a politician who said that there shouldn't be a hysteria over the arrival of people who are potentially seen as linked to i guess the not part of that group that is seen as particularly dangerous and at the same time germany when it sends people back to countries of origin is also rather keen to get rid of people who are perceived to be a potential threat so there's a warning this shouldn't be any hysteria this is a far cry from saying that term has become more dangerous through these are attorneys. thank you very much cheap political editor make a look at the. just a reminder the top story we're following for you here today on d w news there's been a 2nd death amid hong kong's turmoil a 70 year old street cleaner was hit by a brick when he got caught up in clashes between pro-democracy activists and police last week a student died after falling from a parking zone. you're watching news live from berlin coming up
