says there's no proof but it still has to work out how to handle them. plus we lug elects a new president on saturday many hope a changing of the guard will help ease tensions 7 months after the easter sunday terrorist attacks that killed more than 250 people. i'm sumi so much going to thank you for joining us flooding continues to threaten venice the government has declared a state of emergency and approved 20000000 euros for immediate aid italian prime minister giuseppe contests described the catastrophic flooding as quote a blow to the heart of the nation now the mayor of venice says the very future of the city is at stake. and let's get the very latest on the story we have our correspondent james jackson standing by for us in venice hi james

good to see you we understand that it is again today a pretty dramatic situation tell us what you've been seeing and hearing around you there. well it's very dramatic right now actually the mayor of venice i was standing just to my right off camera on the italian cultural heritage minister just walked behind this police everywhere there were helicopters going over the top carbon yari so it feels very very dramatic the the the water the high tide has probably reached its peak so far today for today it's going to go down and then we'll have to see and assess today's damage now when jen says the water has been rising people are trying to cope with the situation as more rain could also be on the way let's take a look at that now. not jurado 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

and tight. but this week the devastation is considerable your phrase a recession was a ship that i think we have $70000.00 euros of damage more or less made this their obviously we're still counting the level of damage and we're still trying to fix parts of electricity there really matter. as all of venice take stock of the damage some are wondering if nature is finally closing in on this lagoon city's fortifications not rado. long we're from the venice venetians born in venice most of us urban mission so to say stop with venice never. put it to the prime minister took in the damage for himself visiting city marks basilica and meeting those working to rebuild he pledged millions of euros in help but. i saw great distress. today i spoke to

a newsstand owner mr bulger whose eyes kiosk collapsed in the canal. he lost everything. you can imagine what it means for someone who owns a business to see his world drowning in the water. as if you know that he also promised to turn this into a reality the more 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 has brought yet another exceptional inundation of salty sea water. all right so james we saw pictures there of locals and authorities really trying to deal with the damage but from what you can see there in venice what is the extent of this damage so we're going to have to wait for the tides to go

down to see the real extent because one thing to note is this is so water so salt water it gets into things and when it dries off it crystallizes that's going to make it especially damaging for cultural heritage sites like some mocs basilica but it's not just cultural sites that are going in trouble i just spoke to a local shop keeper and she's had to throw out for mattresses a few days ago and today the fridge is broken a sofa is broken and because she's on the ground floor apartment but she can actually claim very much money back on fortunately we saw in that report prime minister just up the country touring the area as well looking at the damage and his government has now released a 20000000 euros in aid for venice how is that going to help. so they're going to be giving it directly to shopkeepers ono's and then there's going to be the question of repairing the cultural heritage sites which is going to be very very expensive but as i said as i spoke to the hotel put someone in the

hotel this morning they say the government always sends money but they don't see it so the nation phoenicians have been expecting a tidal baria the most come up and help but it's been going on for 20 years it's 5 years like it's 2 for a not in another 2 years it's too little too late and the eyes of many phoenicians are correspondent james jackson reporting for us in venice thank you. now 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 street cleaner 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 mathias 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. while 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 with throwing bricks out 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 known 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 mathias and that's a difference in opinion that are also extends to chinese mainlanders who are living in hong kong let's take a look. a neighborhood forum on hong kong's political crisis is one of many such events that hong kong's vibrant civil society has organized so she ology 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 to wrench it into israel had all but home i suddenly heard so many different opinions when i arrived yes and some of them felt completely unacceptable even just talking about them was too much to see i had a feeling of danger which 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 ricks 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. poli hong kong people must condemn the violence and the illegal 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 question ending the 90 or so i'm from lunging but i know now i'm doing very well. go to shanghai and to beijing and. i don't know hong kong very well someone should ok i think there's nothing to fear. i think the source of this fear is that people don't understand the mainland fully algy. 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 obama's civil war if i might have a doesn't know how to bypass the great firewall there's no way he came across my speeches on the sense of chinese internet i didn't tell him how we'd. 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 me off we were. media hasn't been intimidated by the threats so far she has do speaking out hoping to preserve the hard won freedoms. so much us in general how do hong kong are seen men 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. pro-democracy come 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 do not speak under nice you might really need to be prepared to be met with suspicion and. when the is the protest is 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 to they choke to us in 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 the protest is seen as an alien by the protesters all right correspondent spending a speaking to us there from hong kong thank you. let's check in now and some other stories making news around the world media outlets in lebanon are reporting that's political parties have agreed on a new prime minister mohammad a former finance minister has been chosen to lead the country his predecessor resigned at the end of october following nationwide anti-corruption protests the demonstrations have thrown lebanon into political and economic turmoil. mourners in southern california held a vigil for the victims of thursday's school shooting in santa clarita near los angeles the teenagers were killed and 3 others injured when a 16 year old opened fire for turning the gun on himself authorities said the shooter apparently acted alone. at least one person has been killed during heavy snowfall in southeastern france the 1st major storm of the season as cause

sticks and see who are left power. evil merola says by the poor indigenous people some of the red porn charges because rape is the color of the left and the poncho the traditional garb of indigenous people in the end. yes right now morale is red bice's white hot with fury. this evil morale is a good man who has been working for the people who didn't want to rob us like those evil taxes people morale us was believes 1st indigenous president on sunday he quit and then fled to mexico from there he's given statement after statement saying he was forced out for being against the country's rich white minority. you don't need to see my crime was being indigenous. president when 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

last month's disputed presidential elections the 2 believe you have been struggling for power right now merola says opposition has the security forces backing what's needed is who truly has the support of the people. turkey has started to porting people believed to be foreign terrorist fighters thousands are currently detained in turkish camps a group 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 said it will to ports 23 more european nationals in the next few days. and let's get more on the story with our chief political editor. so what do we know about these deportees and their connections to the so-called islamic state or any other militant groups. but we know that they are

citizens that's been confirmed here and we know that turkey refers to them as foreign terrorist fighters but according to the interior ministry here it's by no means established that they were really close to islamic state or any terrorist organization here in germany they are well known to the or storage fees they are seen as part of the salafist scene in those saxony where they originally come from so if there is more evidence handed over by the turkish authorities to the german authorities there might be a real case to build also criminal case but for now they are in the process of being interviewed and also under observation by the german security agencies ok so they're under observation but what is germany planning to do with these deportees. well that's a big question and there was a warning here from politicians who are experts in the security field not to have

a public hysteria over these people who are returning because this family is known to german authorities they are by no means counted into the group of some 700 who are seen as a real danger to german society if they are here the question now is whether that status would be reassessed but as far as experts here are concerned this is a rather normal process because after all germany also sends back foreign nationals who are seen as a potential threat or who are have any kind of criminal record or don't so it's not really seen as a real security risk here by the authorities right now and yet a lot of germans might be asking themselves what are the security implications of germany taking these people who turkey says are foreign terrorist fighters. is all that really depends on whether any evidence is built but no doubt there is a risk in that evidence might not be delivered here to germany that there might not be enough tracks and we know of 2 other cases 2 women who are due to arrive

according to to the turks authorities in germany today at least one of them is seen as a direct link to islamic state but also there have also been efforts to deal radicalize these individuals so that is something that is clearly creating a bit of a stir here in the public but the or sorties from now don't really perceive this as any kind of rise in any risk to the public our chief political editor michel because now for us thank you very much. on saturday sri lankans will cast their ballots in a presidential vote 7 months after the easter sunday terrorist attacks that killed more than 250 people the country is still reeling from the bombings and this election will be decisive in shaping sri lanka's future. went to columbia to ask what people want from their next president. business is slow the soft input novel i'm sivakumar shop in central colombo he has run the store since

1990 his family has been there for 6 decades. the grand church opposite the shop brings in customers but it was also central to the most dead a fine day in sivakumar as life. st anthony's was one of the churches hit by the easter sunday bombings last april dozens were killed. his shop was damaged but he escaped unhurt. in the aftermath christians like sivakumar bought it for their safety but now with the lections approaching he's got more on his mind than just security offers on community. new president should reduce the cost of living he should provide protection for the people the new government should not show any preference based on religion or ethnicity and work for every group equally. the neighborhood and also in town needs as norm for its mesh approaches christians and

have that one street and muslims the next dumbos in mosques abound off to the blasts hundreds of muslims faced arrests and reprisals rushy chinoy heard rumors that muslims had been paid off to carry out the attacks but didn't believe them his religion was secondary he was she loved the 1st. there she was pained to see the carnage at st anthony's he provides pigeons and doves to the church to leave office on disservices. he has heard about attacks on muslims elsewhere in sri lanka. but is grateful the harmony in his neighborhood has not been disturbed. but to him the heightened security since easter sunday is reminiscent of the. civil war. after the war ended everyone was free there were no checks they did not ask for

i.d.'s people were not viewed with suspicion people were able to move freely then the blasts happened and caused a lot of problems. too hopes the new leadership will treat all diligence and ethnicities fairly and equally but it isn't a threat from other minorities that people here are what it about despite the. minority rights have not been emphasized in this presidential election campaign activist somebody that without such as the op 103 means family with the majority of . activists like point out the clashes between muslims and buddhists on not. not out of this extremist against evangelical christian churches but attackers have largely gotten off scot free and also that is that people who have engaged in violence based on religious belief will be held accountable legally and i think

that is a very sore point. that a lot of indication that people who've been responsible for violence against religious minorities. enjoy immunity. the island nation has faced decades of ethnic and religious strife has precedence a.b.c. and leaves office she long can see the change of guard will finally bring peace. to get these new mission reporting there will have more coverage of the elections all day tomorrow here on news and analysis on our website as well. moving on to sports and tennis news 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 defeating his rival now at the a.t.p. finals in london federer have the chance to avenge that loss and move on to the
