around the nation. i'm sumi so what's going to thank you for joining us a man has died in hong kong after being caught in clashes between pro-democracy demonstrators and a group opposing them the 70 year old stricklin who 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 multi-story parking lot and later died the unrest in hong kong has worsened in recent days after more than 5 months of anti-government demonstrations. and let's get the latest now from our correspondent in the ts berlin is in hong kong good to see you this is the 2nd death in hong kong within a week that's related to these protests tell us more about what happened in this

particular incident. well did the man who died in hospital today he was caught between protesters and what seems to be counter protesters people who are against the protest movement both sides were throwing bricks at each other it was in the very far northern suburb of hong kong where these 2 groups met each other it's not clear whether the other group the non protester group were local residents or whether they had gathered there to counter the protesters the man was. a cleaner who was on his lunch break and he got in between he walked into the battlefield and got in got in the middle of these 2 groups and there he was hit with a brick that's what we know so far it really goes to show how divisive these protests have been in hong kong and that's a difference in opinion that also extends to chinese mainlanders who are living in

hong kong let's take a look. at the neighborhood forum on hong kong's political crisis one of many city wins that hong kong's vibrant civil society has organized so she all a-g. lecture a mini levy 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 to end it 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 news team much less i had a feeling of danger which i felt they were foreign forces trying to change me or what even brainwashed me yes but then i became curious even the way to how how it's just today minutely 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 rigs almost daily and things just keep getting worse many people in hong kong are shocked by the violence. victim 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 only 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 was and i'm saying that your source so what i'm from the. but i know very well which will be i often go to shanghai and to beijing. i don't know hong kong very well so much i think there's nothing to fear. i think the source of this fear is that people don't understand the mainland. we nearly however is afraid of losing her freedom videos she publicly defends the 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 obama's it wolf 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 known is that state security told him so i asked him whether agents had visited him he didn't reply to any of what you. mean the lead hasn't been intimidated by the threats so far she's do speaking out hoping to preserve the hard won freedoms. so much in general how do hong kong or see man let mainland chinese who live and work in the territory. well the immigration from the mainland there's a quota that allows $150.00 immigrants from the mainland per day to move to hong kong is disputed it is a very controversial issue with many off the local lists or the. pro-democracy saying that this is too much and this would pitch the people into competition against each other and it might change the face of the city during the next few

decades. so this has been an issue it has not been an issue that has been raised by these protests but many hong kong as many many mainland as feel treated not very well in hong kong when they visit for example now if you enter a demonstration and you speak mandarin you and do you know and do not speak under knees you might really need to be prepared to be met with suspicion and. when the is the protesters and somebody who does not support them clash sometimes these people also mandarin speakers recent immigrants that is of course something that would not be seen as in favor of them that they do not speak cantonese the 2 people we spoke today to spoke to us and mandarin but they are fluent cantonese speakers and at some point they are accepted and nobody who who who has immigrated

here and who supports for example their protest is seen as an alien by the protesters right correspondent to spelling and speaking to us there from hong kong thank you. meanwhile hong kong's deeply unpopular justice secretary theresa chang has allegedly been assaulted by demonstrators in london the protesters many dressed in black and wearing masks heckled the shank holding her murderer as she made her way to a speaking of vent on thursday night chang whose department is in charge of prosecuting protesters felt left to be surrounded by the crowd hong kong's leader carrie lamb and the chinese government has strongly condemned these actions. since declaring yourself interim president of bolivia on tuesday geneva on yes has been filling her cabinet and announcing upcoming elections but she says former president if a what alice will not be allowed to run morales resigned on sunday and is now living in exile in mexico thousands of his supporters marched through the capitol up past

a president governs in the interests of the social movements of the peasant farmers and workers in the police mutinies and carries out a coup because he wanted to sell the believe his government says there's another side to evil morale is on display inside the penthouse he had built. they say he's been living lavishly despite his socialist rhetoric. a lifestyle far removed from that of his struggling supporters many of whom in just a couple of 100 euros per month. can be able to live like a rich man while claiming to speak with a number of those. who would i mean to put what's on show is why you go morale is never less than anyone up to the top floors of the hives of the people they. believe because of the house of the people the national assembly from here the woman who's declared she's replacement is consolidating the power. and yes he's promising new elections. but she's ruling out a comeback by morality saying it would violate the constitution it will have

a morale is not sellable to run for a 4th term trying to do so is close to all these protests. since last month's disputed presidential elections the 2 believe us has been struggling for power right now morales is opposition has the security forces backing but what still disputed is who truly has the support of the people. let's get a round up now some other stories making news around the world media outlets in lebanon are reporting that political parties have agreed on a new prime minister mohammad safadi a former finance minister has been chosen to lead the country his predecessor presiding at the end of october following nationwide anti-corruption protests the demonstrations have thrown lebanon into political and economic turmoil. has announced it will hold a referendum to amend the country's dictatorship era constitution following weeks of antigovernment protests demonstrations started nearly a month ago over

the city is at stake it's just. much europe who has given everything to this place . none of the fridges are working we're trying to dry things off. for 200 years this grand hotel has stood the test of time untied. but this week the devastation is considerable your freezer is very much a ship but i think we have 70000 euros of damage more or less obviously we're still counting the level of damage and we're still trying to fix parts of the electricity really matter. as all of vanished take stock of the damage some are wondering if nature is finally closing in on the city's fortifications not run to. the wall about where from venice venetians born in venice most of us urban mission

so to say stop with venice never. get to the prime minister to kidney damage for himself visiting sin marks basilica on meeting those walking to rebuild he pledged millions of euros in help but. i saw great distress. today i spoke to a newsstand on arms to bulger who saw his kiosk collapse in the ju decker canal. he lost everything. you can imagine what it means verse someone who owns a business to see his world drowning in the water because it was as if you don't have any he also promised to turn this into a reality the moves are a title defense system that has been plagued by corruption and delays it was designed in 1984 before then locals must contend with more bad news friday is expected to bring yet another wave of exceptionally high tight

and didn't you correspondent james jackson is following the story for us in venice hi james what is the situation look like today in the city. well i think things have taken a bit more of a dramatic turn compared to yesterday they've just met we've just had to move our camera because the high water is even higher. since the last report we've had a lot going off we've had tourists being evacuated from the mosques. and that's a police cordon line keeping people away from it because the water is just so high yesterday coffee shops were open but today as everything's closed off people business owners are pretty devastated the ones we've said with water so high what is the extent of the damage so far. so a lot of shopping a lot of hotel owners and individual residents have had livelihoods damaged people

not very hopeful about it to be honest and earlier this week 2 people died on a small island close venice. now the central government has declared a state of emergency it was so the police and ok james that you know there's been 20000000 euros of aid approved for venice how is this aid money that's been approved already going to help. that the italian prime minister promised he would be giving the aid money assume immediately $20000000.00 euros however i'm the also that it would be going to individuals as well as cultural institutions but there's so much damage and 20 and 20000000 euros really is not much one person we spoke to this morning said. the government always promises money but we never see it this is as well it's the fact that the most projects has been delayed i was 5 years late it's not coming for another 2 years so the central government has not really done what needs to be done. to many of the

nations all right to be correspondent james jackson for us in venice thank you. now the impeachment inquiry into u.s. president donald trump resumes later today with more public hearings on the witness stand a former u.s. ambassador to ukraine it was recalled after what one state department official called a campaign of lies against her are trump's personal lawyer speaking at a campaign rally in louisiana trump said the inquiry would fail to a peach and called it another witch hunt but house speaker nancy pelosi has stepped up her argument for impeachment saying allegations that he asked ukraine to investigate his political opponent and return for aid amount to bribery. the devastating testimony corroborated evidence of bribery uncovered in the inquiry and that the president abused heller and violated his oath by threatening to withhold military aid and wage health meeting in exchange for an investigation into his

political rival. well thousands of kilometers away the man on the other end of the phone call that sparked the inquiry ukrainian president a lot of our selenski is getting more attention from the u.s. than he ever wanted so how does the impeachment inquiry look from the capital kiev and what's at stake they have usenet connelly reports we had. i think good phone call it was normal we spoke about many things and the so i think when you are already there nobody bullshit bullshit me yes no carry. no pressure on ukraine to launch an investigation into trump rival joe biden son hunter that's a claim that since been challenged by numerous top u.s. officials testifying to congress irrespective of whether this ends in impeachment to trump what does this mean for his visibly uncomfortable guest polygamous alinsky and the country's elite. as worrying is ukraine gate is for ukraine's leaders in

the streets of the capital kiev people struggling to understand just what trump is accused of wanting insolence do you have to ask trump what it is he wanted to be honest i don't have a clue mr thrown pretty sure of syria but it trump has his reelection to think about. and selenski really wants to be friends with world leaders that's why he caved in. as far away as the so-called ukraine scandal might feel to ordinary ukrainians this is clearly about more than just making friends with world leaders $400000000.00 in military aid to be precise dependent on presence alliance his willingness to launch an investigation into trump opponent joe biden's son hunter so the allegation goes in ukraine's 5 year conflict with russia u.s. military assistance and financial support being crucial until now aid for ukraine has enjoyed bipartisan support in washington but could that support now evaporate

if ukraine was seen to be meddling in u.s. domestic politics well i think his strategy was to avoid taking sides because he understands that the american support the international support is crucial for for ukraine because ukraine is facing russian aggression imagine if you crane is loses american support that means that ukraine is left alone with russia and no country that is left alone with can basically survive. just 6 months into the job and president selenski now faces an enviable choice please don't trump by investigating hunter biden and face allegations of interference in u.s. affairs were dragged his feet and risk incurring the hostility of the man in charge of ukraine's most important ally it's a lose lose situation and with the impeachment inquiry gathering pace sitting tight and keeping quiet will prove more difficult by the day. that report from did at his

neck connally and he joins us for more on the story now from. your report there suggesting that the president elect selenski is still under pressure on whether to order an investigation of hunter biden how likely is it that an investigation could still be launched. well it's extremely unlikely that prison selenski will follow that pressure and launch an investigation given the risk that brings all of it getting involved in this internal us because battle but i don't think that that means that the pressure is off i think we've seen consistently from trump that he sees foreign policy in very personalized transactional terms and the fact that. really that his hands are tied i don't think that will really change anyone's minds in the current white house and we have to remember here that has history with ukraine during his election campaign he lost the head of his election campaign to

over allegations about his work with ukraine's pre-prepared president so there's a real history of bad will the. ukraine and a lot of worry here that should this impeachment they'll have to deal with a white house that is interested in helping ukraine and actually feels attacked by ukraine so a lot of worry here and a lot of tension that this could end bad if you crane whoever it goes that help is really at the heart of this controversy military aid $400000000.00 worth how important is that aid for ukraine. well the u.s. has been the only foreign country western ukraine with lethal weapons the others have given civilian aid or training so that really has been a really important boost to the ukrainian army that was really in a terrible shape back in 2014 when crimea and the donbass began and it's also about symbolism here that ukraine's conflict standoff with its much bigger neighbor russia can rely to some extent on the support of the u.s. how far away the u.s.

is that really has a real important symbolic element especially the time now when many european powers seem willing to make friends again with putin's kremlin maybe with some of the sanctions so that symbolism crucial and if those weapons supplies don't go through that will be a real blow to. his ukrainian ministration. economy reporting there from kiev thank you so much. to sports now and in tennis the last time roger federer and novak djokovic faced off was in a grand slam final at wimbledon in july that showdown lasted almost 5 hours with djokovic eventually disputing as rival now at the a.t.p. finals in london federer had the chance to avenge that loss and move on to the semifinals. but it was a long time coming after a run off for years and 5 straight losses roger crowder of finally managed to
