a 1000000 people every year when you look at the battle against the seat. i'm phil gayle welcome to the program police in hong kong have sealed off the university. diversity after protium ocracy activists the site and they want trying to leave now facing arrest or thoughts on the i haven't have described protesters as criminals but the demonstrators did receive a small victory from the terraces high court we'll hear from our correspondent there in on the island in just a moment 1st this report. these students are ready to go home camped out at hong kong's polytechnic university they are wary from increasingly violent clashes with police over the weekend. but having failed to dislodge the protesters for days the police are now preventing them from leaving. to

a crowd somewhere i exhausted because we've been up since 5 am yesterday we're desperate because the supplies are running low. anyone leaving the university risks arrest and a lengthy prison sentence the students are worried. you know. a little bit desperate. and they're going to say. there's. no way we can get out in the 1st this safely and. the previous night protesters set fire to the entrance of the university to stop the police from storm the campus and they showered petrol bombs on advancing vehicles. but when they tried to break through the police cordon on monday they were met with a hail of tear gas canisters and rubber bullets forcing them to retreat.

police arrested those that did not make it back into the building. but not the some protesters tried to run forward on a highway they had been blocking for the past week. stuck inside the university the rest are replenishing their arsenal of molotov cocktails. with the police in no mood to compromise the situation remains volatile. straight to hong call then where we join d.w. correspondent charlotte chelsea will welcome charlotte bring us up to date. i. was her won't load romar kluger are. when 5 once again we've seen so many things i've been unfolding throughout the evening this evening and am a romance of the woods a garden that were huge crowds of protesters who have gathered near the university

rally are now about particle nuts are welcome not you know about sound off. on bearing walls but not progressing getting more and more tense we were in charge of protesters but i want to bury those who are currently hold up here inside. our lives now days now stuck inside that none of us can post very little things. and rescued by police. several daring attempts by party just to get away some models do it but there are local to be huge numbers are part of the inside university we spoke i've observed some of those students who were gathered about 30 or so more come and gone gather together some only 7 for bouncing obviously very concerned about the loved ones who were inside that university campus one father spoke to us he told us that his son of bottles 7 of the university yesterday and

haven't come out yet let's have a listen to what you have. got so we are very very very. very about the safety so i am i like to thank you so why so i like you are the among our cash to the government that don't hurt our child. will hurt our case. and charlotte 8 from what we're hearing it sounds like he's right to be worried about their safety we have threats from beijing about the use of live i mean nation but despite this process is appear defiant always heading for a point of no return. well as you can tell from the honesty of the numbers of protesters who were heinie out on the story throughout the day off the phone they are determined to keep going it is very difficult at this point to see exactly how this situation was going to be

deescalated to the taking well those students are still inside the university that of course as you saw the warning that came from police last night the last of those protesters dropped the weapons police were prepared to use. those protests is that something that's of shock waves across people. on a one of them social media consultant this now of pomp and life or death situation for them having said that bones is also the icing on the hearts of protests in particular over the last few days we've seen the music. trying to target the police i'm quoting here is the bones that are sending out on fire sometimes there's crowds of riot police we know that yesterday one police officer was hit in the leg with one of those arrows this is a. situation where not very hard to predict at this moment when the.

high court had some good news for protesters today just talk asserted a's decision . that's why if you talk to people here on the streets the protesters they will tell you the best decision by the high court today was one way of life some of their lives to be done if we have people who in hong kong i want my court decided with a. bio authority on people wearing both in the us with other constant use no the authorities imposed on them other than the. calling process stop 7 stopping people from taking to the streets because of quoth both muslims and you can tell from the pov that i don't do what i want now to deal with the take out that's around me so if you do want to come to these parts start them really. is a lot of people are very pleased about high court. charlotte's chosen people in

hong kong thank you and let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world group of performance artist in me and i have received additional jail sentences for insulting the military the satirical poets call themselves the peacock generation and to me and most traditional system they can face the same charges in every township they performed in. sri lanka's new president has held a controversial swearing in ceremony that threatens to widen divisions go to buy a rajapakse as inauguration took place the british shrine revered by his sin halle's buddhist followers he credits his victory to british support but says he'll work for all sri lankans. a 15 year old girl was killed after a suspension bridge collapsed into the river town in southern france rescue workers are at the sea rare and to have the truck approaching opposite directions and plunged into the water the driver of the truck is stillness. now to

iran where all 30 say at least 3 people have been killed during violent protests against dramatic fuel price increases the country's supreme leader has backed the price hike claim it will fund social welfare programs the foreign ministry has condemned u.s. support for demonstrators describing it as 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 hike in petrol prices demonstrations that began late last week of taking on a violent age or thirty's reported some deaths many fear the real number there was likely to be higher iran's supreme leader is unmoved standing by the fuel rise in branding the protesters who look at. them as acting a bank on fire it's done by the people this is what dogs do. the

movie is in part a response to the failing economy has the results 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 and everything in iran is connected to petrol prices go up so to food prices simply everything the u.s. 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. let's go through this river from the w.'s of the department welcome to the studio about him how significant are these protests so these protests they can will they have the chance to look at them from 2 ways if

you look at them like how they are right now without any history or any context you see that they are like vice bread in several cities of iran which is new because even though they are happening in some cities that for me the name of those cities are not very familiar you know i i see i know the area like i know this if i frankly so i mean and you see the reaction the reaction is huge from the government and security system of iran and you see that they are killing people they are suppressing people so i mean it's easy in person right now but. then we can look at them life but the he story of what is happening in iran like they had protests the same nature furthest 2 years ago that poor kind of poor people came to the street to ask for their rights especially they wanted to be look like to be considered as citizens like to be to have a normal life and and they had a back in 2009 again protests that it was it had

a different nature but still we see that it is going on so and and right now we are looking like in iraq what is happening in iraq or other countries in the region we see that these protests have a context to it that like in iraq some purchasers are like chanting against islamic republic of iran and in iran also people are chanting that the vans the money the like like money to be here in iran not in palestine and not in iraq so i mean in 2 ways it is really significant. and you hinted at your. answer that the government says the people who are out on the streets they're right as i'm sorry but from what what you are saying this is this is ordinary people. frankly is not new you know iranian people are used to used to hear these comments from the government or from the leader of iran that that they are naming the protesters.

as of life that they are actually they have been paid from outside iran from cia cia or as for so it's not new at all that like mesereau honey present off in iran today he told that it just a few number of people are at the streets so people are used to hear these kind of sentences but the thing is they are to my opinion they are like poor people mostly that they don't have anything to lose anymore. because like they see that they see even they don't have the future they don't see anything in front of them bright so they have come to this straight because they want an answer they want it to be considered as. like a. life good talking to thank you for joining us. from day to bliss faceted foster. chile next where thousands of protesters are stepping up their demands for

a new constitution and the resignation of president sebastian pinera where we have suffered serious injuries in recent anti-government demonstrations they accuse the police of brutality and rubber bullets at their heads president pinera says any excessive use of force will be investigated. nelson campos fears he will lose his eyesight he was shot by a policeman cheering a recent demonstration in chile's capital santiago. they will have a detached retina and i have internal injuries inside my eye it's not looking good . the shooting happened during recent antigovernment protests demonstrators have been hit by water cannon or rubber bullets some filled with metal and it's not just happening to violent protest is peaceful demonstrators even random bystanders have

being targeted videos like these published on the internet on difficult to watch. medical professionals are alarmed. at the stuff and i meant some bullets just scratched the surface of the eye but some hit them directly 99 percent of the patients if not all end up going blind for sure seeing it as a warder it seems unlikely to be a coincidence more than $200.00 people in chile have lost their eyesight in this way police have been accused of aiming at people's heads human rights advocates say the violence reminds them of the dark times of the chilean dictatorship amnesty international has investigated some of the latest cases the efforts of police yelling the police are deliberately targeting certain body parts they're using their guns in a way that can lead to lethal interests. because the littlest chile's president

sebastian pinera has sent all cases of disproportionate police violence must be investigated what good exists office and the committee any excessive use of force and breach of police protocol work needs to be investigated by the public prosecutor use and brought to justice. but so far little has happened many police officers don't wear id badges that makes it almost impossible to prosecute them for nelson campus that's no longer a priority and we'll. have children then where would i need to be able to work and earn money whether i wanted or not. i need to forget my fears but i'm still full of fear and panic. of my legal nelson's life is now dominated by the injuries he received at the hands of the police.

we'll take a look at some more of the day's of stories now firstly in the united states where president a trump says he is strongly considering testifying in his own impeachment investigation and he tweeted the announcement today after house speaker nancy pelosi challenge him to appear before the committee to speak all the truth that he wants. at least one shooter has killed 4 people or wounded others after opening fire on a backyard poteen california the incident happened in the city of friends mills the victims were watching a football game outside the house. russia has handed back 3 naval ships it captured last year from ukraine it's the latest move to ease tensions between the 2 countries ahead of a summit next month took place off the coast of crimea. haiti's president says his country faces a humanitarian crisis and he's asking for international support. morsi said

government has been the target of widespread protests since august and warning 3 haitians now relies on aid to survive. the researchers have been warning for years about the rise of superbugs antibiotic resistant bacteria despite this the danger now is higher than ever as the world health organizations world antibiotic awareness week begins is a look at the threat superbugs posed to global health and development. before the mid 20th century contracting a bacterial infection could easily kill you the age of antibiotics was ushered in by alexander fleming who discovered penicillin back in the late 1920 s. and was later awarded the nobel prize for his work antibiotics at the scene for a paradigm shift in medicine they've saved countless lives but bacteria evolve

and a few of them always survive the encounter with the medicine pathogens eventually acquire resistance 1st to one then to more and more antibiotics then they multiply and pass it on they can even share their resistance with other microbes some multi resistant super bugs are no impervious to practically the entire arsenal of antibiotics at our disposal and research on antibiotics has advanced nearly as much as in other fields of medical research big pharma is interest in them evaporated around 20 new major classes of anti-microbial were discovered between the 1940 s. and sixty's but over the last 60 years just 2 new classes of the drugs have been approved. meanwhile the problem of multi resistance has grown increasingly acute experts estimate multi resistant pathogens killed around $700000.00 people worldwide last year but there's still no comprehensive global plan for dealing with

a. revolt from the w's science correspondent darko williams who joins from the welcome derek so. ves antibiotic based antibiotic resistant bacteria they are increasing because. well because for a variety of different reasons. as we just saw bacteria evolve they are going to eventually evolve resistance to these substances anyway particularly in the kinds of situations that we put the men and hospitals using them over and over again but we can accelerate actually that evolution overprescribing that before prescribing them for example in situations where people don't really need and have bacterial for example if they have a viral infection that's been going on for decades in many countries actually particularly in the developing world you can even buy you can buy antibiotics over the counter that's one aspect of the problem we're actually accelerating the evolution of these bugs on the other hand another aspect of it is for example we

use it in industrial livestock production so you have these these animal farms these vast complex as with thousands sometimes thousands of animals on them the only way to prevent an infections an epidemic from breaking out within those facilities is by feeding antibiotics prophylactic clee to the animals in order to can to maintain them under those conditions so ultimately the answer to that question i guess is that we are speeding up the evolution of these bugs by using these antibiotics too much ok so you would have thought that in those circumstances then the pharmaceutical companies as well as with our eye on a profit would be would look at this as a we will be churning out new antibiotics so wildly it seems like actually that that would seem to be the case but unfortunately that's not the business model that the pharmaceutical industry operates under that it's incredibly difficult and expensive to get a drug approved the industry says it costs $2.00 nathanael in dollars to get

a single drug approved so if you get a drug approved an obviously you're going to count on sales to recoup your investment in the development of that drug now the problem with antibiotics is obviously they're geared towards at most giving you the drug for 2 weeks you're going to be cured after you take a course of antibiotics really what the pharmaceutical in. astri is interested in is selling you a drug for the rest of your life or a chronic condition like heart high blood pressure or heart disease or diabetes you want to manage conditions rather than cure they won't well the i'm not saying they want to i'm saying that their business model but i make more money with their blockbuster drugs if they manage to focus their development on those particular conditions so actually that's led to a situation where you have most of the major pharmaceutical companies have completely exit in this field most of the research is being done by small biotech firms and so we we have to change this paradigm somehow we have to to get away from this idea of profit driven antibiotics in an topic really which affects all of us so briefly then are we all do it since the end we aren't doing is there are there

are actually a few dozen antibiotics in the pipeline that are that have been put in the pipeline by these smaller companies not all of them are going to get approval we will eventually be able to see some light at the end of the tunnel but we really need to increase awareness in this particular topic because it's a it's a global problem and we need global solutions data besides thank you. just for sound german drive us a 5th return to competition in macau a year ago the 18 year old suffered a horrific crash on the streets hit scaping with a fractured vertebra after her smashed into fencing. sofia flourish at the start of the race at the fateful track in macau. she didn't make any mistakes in this year's race but just 6 laps from the end to

a technical problem forced her to withdraw our. $29000.00 is now unfortunately old but it was really awesome how is such a special event and it was a bit unfortunate with a technical defect that gonski i didn't finish this here 2 times bad luck so next year i'll be very lucky. this weekend she was once again face to face with the corner where her accident happened. there last year it was a little bit different. because of safety reasons they changed the track so there's like a fan the kind of friends it was the building where question to. those ones actually occurred so it's maybe fly. that was 1st sliding on the ground and touching the wall on the right side and then because of those sausage curves in the corner i started flying it happened so fast no think it's before it sort of video i didn't know that i was fighting for me it didn't feel that bad i meant the pain so the kicking in doctors repaired 2 broken cervical vertebrae in an 11 hour operation

just one month after the accident flourish began to fight her way back to racing i couldn't imagine buy for the motor sport so it's kind of. if i would be going back to my call this year i would be happy pretty happy kid is the track is so super cool. shover check. this was an extraordinary dream come true for her. let me. try. and. change it. flourish adequate easy feeling before qualifying as she drove her 1st laps in macau since the crash the mechanics held their breath as she drove into the fateful corner but this time it all went well. i could work out i did so. it was ok i didn't struggle.
