this is deja news coming to you live from berlin a highly charged standoff in hong kong between police and protesters dissolves into chaos after a night of violence demonstrators leave a university under lockdown police use force to arrest those trying to escape we'll go live to our correspondent on the ground forces coming up at least 3 people died in violent demonstrations in iran and the testers could be facing a crackdown as the government resists fear prices up to 50 percent. and

relief for the people of venice as full cost save the world is tied to flags and half a century are said to recede in the italian city. loss of britain's brutal colonial legacy in the 2 plantations of kenya we need some plantation workers now in their ninety's was still traumatized by what to endure all when the land was stashed away if taken their case to the united nations. i'm good to have you with us. this is the end to the tense standoff at a university campus in hong kong after students barricaded themselves inside inside during anti-government protests the events are unfolding in the heart of hong kong at the polytechnic university some students attempted to flee but police appear to

trap them inside the university by firing on them with tear gas and rubber bullets about $800.00 protesters gathered on the campus some of them carrying coal made weapons including petrol bombs police threaten to use live ammunition if they fail to lay down their weapons. our correspondent shala chosen bill is keeping track of those developments and joins me now tell us 1st tell me where you are and what's happening around you. a merry time outside the university at the moment where hundreds of students still said to be holed up now it's calm where we are now but a short time ago the building behind me the university there was a huge fire we know as well we saw images of protesters trying to escape that building by running across the overpass just across that we've seen extremely violent images of protests you are trying to escape the university being captured

by police images on social media showing them being dragged across the floor as they are detained the tensions here are extremely high at the moment with more protests planned into the evening as it starts to get dark we are expecting more violence more takeouts here on the streets of hong kong and show we had some very dramatic footage from what happened there last night before we continue our conversation let's have a look at those pictures. police moving. protesters set the entrance to hong kong polytechnic university of plays 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 versus the police. 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 wars result. i've 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 home to. come home with already said the university called for an end to the confrontation on for deescalation. but the situation remains tense. the protests which have become

a broadly anti government and anti 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. so tensions are running very high as you can see chavez it seems that he will colleague a lot is a building that was caught up in that situation at the campus and he only managed to get out this morning what is said to you. that's right mathias and several other colleagues who were reporting on the standoff last night did spend the night in the university campus just behind me on able to leave he said he was eventually permitted to leave the university in the early hours of this morning but he said police ordered him and then fellow journalists to find out one by one he said he had to raise his arms in the air as

he was leaving one officer in fact it pointing his weapon at mathias as he was leaving the university that bags searched as well. this is something that we are seeing more and more as the violence increases here in hong kong there is a lot of pressure on the journalists reporting reporting this situation and of course their safety now is being called into question when will this be a court ruling which is given somewhat of a boost to the protesters what's that about. that's why there was something of a surprise ruling today the high court here in hong kong decided that it was unconstitutional facemask ban that's been imposed by austerity here since october that was designed to try and quell the protests so many people have been taking to the streets where in models to protect them from the tear gas or to hide their identities of 30 thought that might by banning the face mask they would really be able to crack down on the number of people taking to the street in fact that didn't

see it almost had the opposite effect many people coming out to protest against the facemask ban and the emergency regulations that it was imposed through now though the court decided it was unconstitutional and police here have said that they will abide by that no longer be charging people with that emergency regulation but the atmosphere at the moment from what you're saying is very charged in hong kong this evening with china giving increasingly stern warnings where do you see this going. that's the question and so many people have been asking for so many months now we are more than 5 months into this protest movement a lot of people they deeply concerned by a statement issued by police last night warning that they would use live ammunition if protesters did not put down their weapons that is something that is really sent shock waves through the protest movement a real concern about police following through with that threat we know that

a number of people were posting their last words on social media last night those who were trapped inside the university real concern that this could become a life or death matter for so many of the protesters here that is something that they're going to be very aware of going forward will we see more live ammunition live bullets on the streets of hong kong seana tells and bill in hong kong thank you very much for being us up to date on the situation there. turning now to iran where least 3 people have been reported dead after violent protests against a 50 percent increase in fuel prices the government announced the hike last week iran's supreme leader has given his backing to the decision saying the price increase is for financing social welfare programs and the iranian foreign ministry has strongly condemned u.s. support of the demonstrators calling it interventionist. from causing gridlock on the streets. to taking out their anger on cars petrol stations

and even banks. protesters in iran leaving little doubt how they feel about the high compared to prices demonstrations that began late last week have taken on a violent heads at least 3 people have been killed but the number is likely to be higher iran's supreme leader is unmoved standing by the few right branding the protesters. setting a bank on fire is done not done by the people this is what dogs do. the movie is in part a response to the failing economy as a result of u.s. sanctions iran says the money raised will be used to help the poor those on the street see it differently. the government has made this decision because it doesn't have any money now it's taking money out of our pockets to plug the gaps everything in iran is connected to petrol prices go up so to food prices simply everything the

us has also waded in signaling support for the protesters and criticizing a shutdown of the internet as authorities in iran try to wrest back control of a volatile situation. i'm joined now by khandaan martin from the university of sussex he focuses on international relations welcome to you know we see very angry demonstrations over the weekend how significant is this protest action. yes i would like to start by just saying that the number of actually killed in this protest at the moment stands at 3922 of which is confirmed with names and details this is based on reports from this network of journalists in the pens and journalists inside and outside iran so the number you're journalists gave i suppose it's based on state iranian state media but it's really much higher and the number

of killed and injured are particularly high in kurdish regions of iran where the crackdown has been particularly severe police using snipers from rooftops obvious to sions and police stations shooting at people so. in terms of the significance well i mean it comes this latest wave comes roughly one year after some of the protests last around a year ago in winter as well. and it's particular widespread it's seems to be spontaneous there is no. organization behind it which makes it a bit more difficult for the authorities to suppress it given that people basically take initiative of their own and this time around they seem to have learned from what's going on in lebanon and iraq and elsewhere they barricade streets basically turn off their cars in the middle of streets set up barriers and so on to prevent security forces to come to attack them so in terms of these protests just imagine

given the scale of these protests and you seem to suggest a much bigger than what the official state media is saying. can we expect some kind of a crackdown because the supreme leader ayatollah come in a has condemned these protests and even president hassan rouhani warned that the country cannot allow this kind of insecure teacher crack to carry on. well i mean this is the this is typical approach by the state throughout these recent years from the 2009. 104 that until now. the response of the government has really cracked down immediate crackdown and the suppression and crackdown did begin from the very early on it wasn't following ayatollah khomeini's intervention but following his intervention now the political office of. islamic revolutionary guard corps i.r.g.c. has issued a statement yesterday saying that they will actually intensify and take

a harsher approach following what he said so i think. the government's stance is that you know that it has to be stopped at any cost because their experience from what happened in syria and elsewhere is that the moment the protesters gain some sort of victory then it has a kind of domino effect and it will be difficult to stop it so i'm afraid the while and will only increase from the from the security authorities come down martin thank you very much for an obvious as you are at the university of sussex thank you very much thank you. you're watching the news coming up ahead the creation of britain's colonial in iraq to new students in kenya also thousands of people driven from their homes now those victims are looking for compensation and i've taken the case to the united nations. but 1st let me now being added with some other stories making news around there was at least one person has died after

any of this. but we. are and it's a disaster. the water has once again turned on the famous lagoon city. the tourist favorite has been flooded for days the few people still out i don't rubber boots or hip waders on sunday water levels reach one meter 50 submerging more and more of these stories city center shops and hotels are flooded half of the city's churches are just the crypt of this and mark has told me underwater. the famous left her house also flooded. and venice is sinking into the ocean. if we continue to dredge cruise ships that

obviously the water can flow into it faster. the canals that have been dug to allow cruise ships to dock in the harbor are. preventing the water from receding properly flood areas are supposed to be protecting the city. the so-called most project was designed to stop flooding 3 lagoon entry point. construction began in 2003 but the barriers still haven't been completed corruption and mismanagement of plague the project costing the taxpayer over 5000000000 euros. are furious at the delay. this is all nonsense it's all lies the project is pointless but it's one of the billions they divided the money up among themselves. 70 percent of the city is flooded the city's mayor estimates that the water has cost a $1000000000.00 euros and damages. the water has

destroyed the city but the nations fall to their knees only when they go to pray that its will rise again. but as the waters recede venice is still waiting for the type to turn. so joining me now from venice is. welcome you know venice has seen the 3rd major flop in less than a week how is the city coping. the city is slowly going back to normal or at least it's trying to we see shopkeepers cleaning up still their shops people in their homes cleaning and going shopping for example because supermarkets have been closed for the last few days schools are back in session museums are slowly starting to open for example the need behind me is still closed but most others are starting to open but what venetians are telling me is that they don't want their city to be forgotten after what happened and that they want tourists to continue coming and not being afraid of the tides and what can you tell

us about the damage caused by these floods has there been any permanent damage to have did sites and what about the art in the city is it safe. the experts i've spoken to have told me that it is still too early to tell exactly how much the damage is going to be depends on the fact that water has to dry out and that the salt has to crystallize because it's salty water and only then can they really establish how much damage has been done we know that saint marks cathedral has been affected we know that life in each a theater has been affected what are there has damaged their electrical and heating systems and it is still coming out of the wall so it will take some time to really figure out how much damage has been done and you wonder what else are beginning to recede in venice heavy rains are hitting other parts of northern italy which cities are most under threat at the moment heavy snowfalls have caused

a lot of damage and which is on the border with austria so it's a mountain region we've seen landslides that have pushed train off the rails a lot of towns are without electricity and are isolated and yesterday where there was some fear that the art no river in tuscany which flows through florence and pisa would go over the edges luckily that did not happen but better weather is forecast for the rest of the week and people are gearing up for another difficult week here in italy. in venice thank you very much. now an item of sports use and we take you to tennis stefan as city pass has been crowned the a.t.p. finals champion after a 676276 win over dominic team in london the greek won a nail biter against his austrian opponent leaving the 3rd and final set on
