just as a war is more war. i have already written my will. but i trust that my fellow students will keep the protests going. many of us here are exhausted just like i am. i was sprayed by water cannon and it is still very painful but i keep going. hong kong authorities and the university have called for an end to the confrontation and for deescalation but the standoff remains tense. these protests which have become a broadly anti government and anti police violence movement have been raging for 5 months now people in hong kong are split on the matter but many continue to publicly support the predominately student led protests this all started with protest as wanting to safeguard home homes autonomy but despite the scenes beijing

shows absolutely no sign of changing its stones towards hong kong. let's get the very latest now if you don't use charlotte telephone pole joining us at the poly technical university there in hong kong good morning to you charlotte dramatic scenes when police attempted to enter the university where you are what's the situation like at the moment. we're in this last 24 hours house without a doubt been one of the most highly charged in this 5 month movement so far where i am at the moment riot police are coming and going here take us was 5 just behind me a short time ago if i move just to the side briefly you can see how this rose has been closed off lifted with the debris of clashes from last night bricks strewn across the pavement now just a short distance away from me is the putting university where that standoff between protesters and police is still ongoing there are 2 of the hundreds of people

hundreds of students still trapped inside the university setting the holed up in that they say that they are on able to leave they fear that if they do they face arrest by the police who have been waiting outside some this morning have tried to escape they've been met with volleys of tear gas it is a very very tense situation here in hong kong at the moment those tensions were heightened further last night when police issued a statement warning that the protesters did not put down their weapons they of course using using bricks and sling shot to hell missiles that the police please warning they would retaliate with live ammunition that is something that everyone here. extremely nervous people apparently writing that their final words on social media fearing that last night could have turned into a bloodbath as it stands that hasn't been the case so far but this situation is still ongoing ok with with the increased violence we've been seeing a charlatan clued in from weapons like petrol bombs bows and arrows what dangers

are protesters police facing their place facing plenty certainly but but what about you as a reporter what dangers are you face. book the else being months there has been the ongoing risk of being hit by those months of cuts how does that thrown at the police and of course take afghanistan we're turning on the other side there are a number of journalists who have been been hit by this take asked kind of says one journalist in fact not so long ago lost the use of an eye as a result of being hit by one of those take ass canisters the tension oh the risk the journalists facing really has increased particularly over the last 24 hours a couple of my colleagues overnight who were reporting on the standoff at the university were actually trapped inside they were inside when police issued that warning that they you would potentially start using live rounds of my colleagues on able to escape when they were allowed to leave they were else to find out one by

one my colleague he is saying it's we did that he had one police officer was pointing his weapon at him as he was allowed to file one by one out of that university campus so it is an extremely tense situation for the journalists on the ground who are reporting at this ongoing unrest ok we've just received news about a court decision that is backing the protesters off can you tell us about that. was a surprise move that came not so long ago the high court ruled that a ban on face offs is unconstitutional. that it exceeded the necessary use of restraint against protesters now it was introduced by the government a few weeks ago designed to quell the protests say many people here had been wearing these mosques in order to protect themselves from take out and also to protect themselves from identification as well as here believe that by banning

those base mosque that could perhaps calm some of this on rats in fact the opposite happened people here continued to use those space small if they're still using them now and now this ruling from the high court that it was unconstitutional to introduce that ban in the 1st place that came off as the pro-democracy lawmakers nourse a challenge against that legislation show thanks very much for that from hong kong . let's preview now some the other stories making the news at this hour haiti's president has called the touring situation his country a humanitarian crisis has asked for international support his government has been the target of widespread protests since august which has destabilized haiti's already weak economy $13.00 haitians relies on international aid to survive. brazil's former president lula da silva has denounced the country's social and racial inequalities at a rally of his workers' party. walked free from jail earlier this month after

country's former defense minister find out how his victory in the elections this weekend is causing celebration and concern for the country's minorities. but 1st at least 3 people are now reported dead in iran following violent protests that came in response to a 50 percent rise in fuel prices the government in tehran announced the hike suddenly last week iran's supreme leader has given his backing to this controversy over decisions saying the hike is for financing social welfare programs he also condemned as thought protesters damaged public property words that some say a crackdown could be on the way. iranians have taken to the streets in the capital tehran and a number of cities across the country in protest against a government move to hike the price of petrol by 50 percent. well the demonstrations started with protesters blocking roads but it's collated quickly

petrol stations and cars were torched and all manner of public property was badly damaged banks and government buildings were also a focus for people's rights which failed to sway iran's leader ayatollah khamenei he stand steadfastly in support of the price hike. so i don't know how long you know the specials have sat down or made a decision for the country based on expert assessments this decision must be executed. the move is in potter response to the failing economy as a result of u.s. sanctions money he says nothing justifies the response from protesters he said i'm using a bank on fire is the not done by the people this is what. he's words were indicative of a strong line being taken by the government in the face of the young wrist police have threatened more tough measures and the communications minister announced that the internet has been shut down for 24 hours to re-impose control. now and

potentially divisive mood move sri lanka's new president is being sworn into office in a buddhist temple all today gotta buy a roger possum is the brother of the former president who was elected in a landslide this weekend but his inauguration venue could anger other ethnic and religious minorities in a country which has struggled to shake off the legacy of a decades long civil war. and. its official she longed to have a project box at the helm again. to prevent crowds gathered on the streets of the capital colombo to get a glimpse of the new leader was something that the reaction. was. the brother of a far more pressure to hinder the. team did a landslide victory a day off to the press at. his supporters are reckless with praise and magination.

they're not about to get that he's taking over the country why doesn't a lot of trouble under any other leader even a child wouldn't feel safe on the streets i'm so happy long live. this week she belongs to the people who have shown their support for him and now i will feel safe and know what they can do you know but not miss out on what have we gotten in the words can't explain how happy i am i prefer the rajapaksa and i want to thank him for saving this country that it almost was in the 3rd or. the ranks brick he's here the camera is as much to get close to mahinda rajapaksa as this is for the new president. supporters i realise the brothers who oversaw the end of sri lanka decades long civil war. but not all the sri lanka is celebrating. there was little joy on the streets in areas that back but 1st

opulent such a theme about so. they are lazy about their future. thanks in the past there have been allegations of enforced disappearances and oppression of the sand under the leadership of my hand and want to have a large part of minorities are concerned about their rights under the new nationalist project but government bob baer of breaking right on camera for fear of reprisal thank changes in the country's leadership are far from over. experts point out that ask the incumbent prime minister downer to become a single is from a different party than dodge apart so he could resign to allow for the new president to make his own pick but the last time an attempt was made to remove the sri lankan prime minister it triggered a constitutional crisis. i mean it could have a destabilizing effect if mr vick are missing and mr rogers box of the new president cannot agree on what the next step is going to be yeah then of course

it'll create a question oh look we have to have a vote of no confidence and all of that kind of thing but otherwise it's a relatively small transfer of power. security peace and prosperity that is what she lankans are seeking it's a tall order but good job of you foreign supporters are confident he villa deliver . let's go now to w.'s and jarvis wall who put together the report for she joins us from the capital colombo good day to you misha you know what's happening where you are today. well today it is the swearing in of god to have a dodger who will sticking over as the 7th executive precedent of sri lanka the water was just on saturday and a daily it was clear of the good average but saw had taken a strong lead there was a possibility of runoff of the contest was too tired but pretty early in the day his key open and sergeant came with us i can see that today the swearing in is

happening actually with this temple but also has to do are the with his sights before going to his inauguration his brother who is a 2 tone former president himself my hand the larger part so is also at the ceremony and after this is when of what i would say it's over as the president or 3 dunka or dinner rush of boxes inaugurations he mentions taking place and in a buddhist temple now what message is he sending to the nation with this decision. well it is interesting to note that why this inauguration is happening at a good distempered box has messaging all of the last 24 hours since he has taken over has tried to be very inclusive it is also important to note the dodgers but says seen as a nationalist military leader it was under his guidance as the defense minister that 3 long cost 26 year civil war was brought to an end so he's seen as

a strong and i love a good test figure but it's also important for us to remember that all the e.u. does off in the past have been in the love with this even as more seemingly liberal open and such a thing with us or did regionally as a bull discounter for us so it's not as if it's only under this leader that this is coming out as an emphasis of course minorities have been feeling insecure in the aftermath of these to sunday's bombings but if what good of what average but says emphasising on since his election is to be believed perhaps he does want to include and protect them and we should thank so much for that and for your report coming to us from. colombo in sri lanka this morning thanks very much. we have some sports now in formula one box for stop and victoria the brazilian grand prix in sao paulo his 3rd one of the season came in one of the most incident back races of the year world champion lewis hamilton saw his podium place removed
