university by firing tear gas and rubber bullets on those who attempted to leave up to 800 protesters gathered on the campus some of them carrying homemade weapons petrol bombs and bows and arrows police threaten to use live ammunition if they failed to disk arm themselves. for the very latest let's go live now to our correspondent on the ground charlotte till our charlotte what's the latest where you are. brian this is without doubt one of the most highly charged 24 hours of this 5 month protest movement so far now what i'm standing is a few 100 meters away from the university where that standoff is still ongoing where i'm standing there are still numerous riot police walking around we've seen a number of people at being arrested 2 or led away with their hands tied behind

their back to the university even more biden scenes going on at the moment protest is have been told to leave the campus area of the as they've attempted to run through ponce police they've been met by by take hour and arrest by those police officers we're seeing images of protesters being tackled to the ground some of them dragged across the floor during that arrest we're hearing from protesters that they simply too afraid to leave the university at the moment the charges that they face could carry up to 10 years in prison so there is a real tension unfolding at the university at the moment we're hearing as well that they've been now for hours now overnight many of them they are running out of resources is going to remain to see how the remain to be seen how known they are able to to stay inside the university campus or whether someone simply going to have to try and surrender oh make a break for it through the police lines charlotte all of that debris we're seeing

behind you the bricks on the ground a testament to what happened last night we have some video of those dramatic and often violent scenes let's take a look at that right now. police moving. but protesters set the entrance to hong kong polytechnic university ablaze forcing them to retreat. the police made some arrests and some students were injured. despite the dramatic and disturbing images the night passed with wide serious bloodshed something many had feared over the weekend it remained a fiery stalemate hundreds of students inside the university presses the police on the protesters using a host of weapons including molotov cocktails sling shots. and even bows and arrows to keep the police at bay the students are determined. 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 to. come forth already said the university called for an end to the confrontation and for deescalation. but the situation remains tense. the protests which have become a broadly antti government and police violence movement have been raging for 5 months now and. people in hong kong are split on the matter but many continue to support the predominantly student led protests it all started with protesters wanting to safeguard hong kong's autonomy but beijing showing no sign of changing

its stance towards the territory. charlock one of these latest developments mean in terms of the big picture of the protests in hong kong is this violence that we're seeing this new escalation a new normal. will this week really has been extremely chaotic there have been a bit of a lot of the week before way seem like the the number of violent clashes that were taking place on the streets had died down a little bit this week though we have seen numerous people critically injured in these clashes we've seen one man who lost his life after he was hit by a brick that been other fatalities that have been reported as well just yesterday a police officer was shot in the leg with an arrow this is becoming increasingly dangerous on the streets here now what is lingering over these protests and has been overnight and through today is this warning that came from police late last

night that they were prepared to use live ammunition if those protesters holed up at the university at the moment didn't put down that weapons that is something that has alarmed a lot of people on the streets here that this is could become yet more violent that we could see more bloodshed here on the streets of hong kong a number of parents gathered outside that university at the moment pleading with police to act with restraint very very upset in scenes for those parents that charlotte has been something of of a boost for the protesters it comes in the form. a court decision can you tell us something about that. yeah that was a bit of a surprise decision by the high cool to hear it ruled that a ban that was imposed under the regulations by authorities back in october on protest is wearing face masks was unconstitutional and not many people had been expecting that ruling to come forward off to raise the child as the need to

challenge the face miles ban was brought by pro democracy you know makers but it really is something of a small victory for some of the protesters here it must be said though that despite the fact that this ban has been in place it hasn't stopped protesters wearing those they face off as they take part in these protests and they hit routinely with take as many of them as well trying to hide their identity thanks very much for that from hong kong today. wants to run now where at least 3 people have been reported dead after violent protests against a 50 percent increase in the price of fuel now the government announced that hike last week and iran's supreme leader well he's given his backing to the decision saying the hikers were financing social welfare programs he also condemned the protesters as folks iranians have taken to the streets in the capital tehran in a number of cities across the country and protest against a government move to hike the price of petrol by 50 percent. the demonstrations

started with protesters blocking roads but escalated 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 rage which failed to sway iran's leader ayatollah ali khamenei he stands steadfastly in support of the price hike despite the unrest so i don't know how long it will stay shills have sat down and made a decision for the country based on expert assessments this decision must be executed the move is in part a response to the failing economy as a result of u.s. sanctions but how many said nothing justifies the response from protesters. then this is a bank on fire it's not done by the people this is what the dogs do. his words were indicative of a strong line being taken by the government in the face of the unrest that police

have threatened more tough measures in the communications minister announced that the internet has been shut down for 24 hours to reimpose control. as preview now some of the other stories making the news at this hour chile's president. has condemned the abuses by security forces saying excessive force is been used against protesters during anti-government demonstrations this is the 1st time he's criticized police brutality since protests began a month ago more than 20 people have been killed thousands have been injured in the clashes. haiti's president has called the deteriorating situation in the country a humanitarian crisis is asking for international support his government has been the target of widespread protests since august which have destabilized the country's already weak economy one in 3 haitians relies completely on international aid to survive. belarus has opposition candidates did not win any

seats in a parliamentary election they say was neither free nor fair. president alexander lukashenko dismissed the allegations many prominent opposition figures were ruled ineligible countenance. while there is a rare bright spot for the hard press the tally and city of venice floodwaters could be receding that after a record high flooding shops and museums on the city's famous st mark's square were closed again on sunday that's the 3rd time in just a week the crisis is expected to cost the nation up to a $1000000000.00 euros but while venice appears to be expecting some relief heavy rains and snow are threatening to bring misery to other parts of the country. let's get the latest from venice now it is julia south delhi good morning to you julia venice has seen the 3rd major flood in less than

a week house of coping with all this water. that is is slowly going back to normal today after being hit again as you said yesterday people are cleaning up their shops cleaning up their homes trying to get back to normal life supermarkets starting to open again and schools are back today after a few days of break people are confident that they will pick up but they are hoping that the attention will not go away from their city after the tide start to go down and that money will come assistance will come to try to get back on their feet you know when we look at all of this floodwater places like st mark's square you know how have the landmark buildings in venice been doing are they permanently damaged more about all the art in the city how safe is the city's cultural heritage from these waters. one significant number is that about one in 2

churches in the city have been flooded and that is significant we've seen damage done to st mark's cathedral one of the landmarks of the city. which is one of the most famous theaters in the city and in the country and what is important to know is that it's not enough for the water to dry up the water is salty the salt stays in the structures so it will take quite some time to actually be able to evaluate the damage that has been done. this type of flooding joe he was supposed to be prevented by the city's planned flood barriers you know they're high tech constructions why aren't they supposed to protect venice from exactly this kind of threat the problem with that infrastructure is that it is still being built it was supposed to be finished in 2014 but because of building problems because of corruption scandals it is still to be finished now the

government is going to try to accelerate the process trying to bring it forward and finish it by next year but it will remain to be seen if that infrastructure will be enough to protect the city from further events like these and maybe the local and national government will have to re-evaluate their overall plan to protect the city from episodes like the high tides we have this week joy or so dolly for us in venice where floodwaters will be receiving some respite there as we've just heard thanks very much. thank you. this is deja vu news live from berlin still to come on our show the creation of britain's colonial era t.v.'s days in kenya saw thousands of people violently driven from their homes now those victims are looking for compensation they're taking their case to the united nations. but 1st in a potentially divisive mood move rather very long because a new president is being sworn into office in

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 that support from him now i wouldn't feel safe. looking that you know more than a mere thought about a pick up like that in the woods can't explain how happy i am i prefer. and i want to prank him for saving this country i didn't know about it only got about the burger. the drunks brick he's hero the camera is as much to get close to my hand to dodge trucks as it is for the new president. supporters are july's 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 as often and such a claim about so. they are uneasy about their future. in the past there have been

allegations of enforced disappearances and oppression of the stand under the leadership of my hand and want to have a large part minorities like and found about their rights under the new nationalist dodge apartheid government madero rate would run on camera right. changes in the country's leadership are far from over experts point out that as the incumbent prime minister down it had 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 pay 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 rickard were saying that mr rajapaksa the new president cannot agree on what the next step is going to be yeah then of course it'll create a question of look we have to have a water no confidence of all of that kind of thing but otherwise it's a relatively small transfer of power. security fees and prosperity that is what she

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 bombings but if what good of without a doubt 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 reports coming to us from. colombo in sri lanka the story thanks very much. it's to kenya now and thousands of kenyans who say they were driven from their homes under british colonial rule are demanding compensation and they've taken their case to the united nations did you travel to curry joe county now it's known as the home to kenya's tea plantations and the snow has the tea capital now the litigants there say they were victims of systematic violent crimes designed to
