8:02 am
to the territory's chief executive carrie lamb clashes have been raging for days now with 600 people who were inside the university already having surrendered to police now others made a bold escape by climbing out of buildings with rope plotters called on those remaining inside to surrender saying the hong kong government was trying to find a peaceful solution to end the standoff meanwhile china says hong kong's high court does not have the power to end the ban on protesters wearing masks now that move could even could add even more fuel to the ongoing protests let's get the very latest now from our correspondents fee because in hong kong and mathias billing for us in beijing today to both of you if evie hong kong police are saying that surrender is now the only option for the students trapped inside the polytechnic university where you are it will the students turn themselves into police and what
8:03 am
happens once they do. well as you have mentioned there are like 100 off. staying inside a campus but last night a few 100 of the very young protesters they left the campus already yes some of the high school principals and university professors and also the former chairman of the legislative council they entered the campus last night and they have in the ocean with the police which the police office is free that they will let those protesters who age 18 most of them still studying in high schools to let them leave the campus but not immediately arresting them so what i have to do is to leave the personal information to the offices when they leave when they left at the campus so some of them they chose to leave already but. office they some of them they are
8:04 am
still they remain hard core that the hotline this time they are still saying stay inside a campus that they would you wish to call at this campus and to do very end ok here's rev about 100 students still inside that building where phoebe is you were trapped inside the paula tech university could you give us an idea material of what the conditions there are large for those who are remaining who are not surrendering some room say they're going to say for 2 weeks if necessary. yeah phoebe and i we were both inside the university when the drama unfolded that was on sunday when police lay siege to this university it was unclear whether we would get out what was very clear is that the protesters would not get out without being arrested police have offered a safe as a seemingly went but when some of them tried to use the safe escape they were immediately arrested so despaired then was of course the creepy creepy
8:05 am
dominant sentiment amongst those who were inside and then they had the feeling that the only way to escape would be to try a violent as scape they could not do without because the police outnumbered them not only in. manpower but also of course in a weaponry and then we have seen throughout the last 2 days people trying to escape we have information that through just becoming more scarse in there so it's a very dramatic. atmosphere in there as far as we have seen it and. that is a choice they have is to surrender to to arrest or to try to find some others cave or try to stay ok mate is allowed to let our visitor our viewers know that we're getting live images right now of the families of some of the students
8:06 am
have been released they've been talking in in hong kong there but. you know when you were talking this the woods and those things inside and to people already there in beijing where you are what are some of your impressions is beijing preparing to exert direct rule over hong kong what do you say. i think beijing is prepared to direct rule over hong kong at any time when they. i feel this would be the best option when they are ready to face all the negative consequences of direct rule what we can see and we do not have direct access to to what is happening inside the beijing government but from the signs we see is that beijing has left the hong kong government very little space to maneuver has really controlled their own kong. chief executive charlie clear and this is one of the
8:07 am
reasons why i tell you low has not been implemented so fine on court t.v. what does it look like in hong kong how are people there going to respond to the increased pressure that's coming from beijing right now. while over the last weekend we saw a p.l.l. a troops deployed in hong kong they appear on the streets to help clean the barricades who are they they claim that this is just a volunteer work but this is the 1st time for the chinese troops to appear on the streets seen the protests since the protests broke out in session but when we look at the reaction of the hong kong people especially the protestors they're not and intimidated by this kind of action and on message because there is a sentiment among the protesters that they feel that this may be that last chance to fight back so you can see i'm standing right in right in the center of the
8:08 am
deposed has that last night that thousands of the protesters outside of campus they are here they want to rescue those inside a campus so this happened today in a row that people just take to the streets are they they are they are dual t m l because they are the brakes on on this street and they are going to be acting more like balance the end more vigorously as long as if if the chinese government is going to pressure them there will be greater pressure from the protestors as well t.v. thanks so very much for that from hong kong and many thanks. well to beijing timothy is building a forest there thanks to both of these are. those preview now some of the other stories making news at this hour a gas explosion in a coal miners killed 15 people and injured 9 others in china's northern china province the miners working underground when the blast struck chinese mines are the most dangerous in the world thousands of miners are killed each year in accidents. the. german foreign minister heiko masa arrives in ukraine today to assist our

8:16 am
island of lesbos site of the overcrowded morea migrant camp did obvious i mean s.f. and max and a report now from a place that's become a home and how to thousands of people are your. friends bid farewell as the buses waits. more than $100.00 asylum seekers are leaving maurya camp for some after a year if wait the reality of the joy is palpable but so is the pain in the uncertainty the fighting once again into the mill how do you feel now that you can get on the bus and leave and leave very happy but i have lots of friends here i didn't miss for everybody just this and to morning i cried assume to know my friends came to see me just. raw and miri has lived with her daughter for a year in morea a camp she describes as the worst on earth she was notified yesterday and given
8:17 am
only hours to pack all her things and leave. i merely is one of thousands of asylum seekers greece plans to move from the north aegean islands to the mainland before winter comes. and the trees deputy governor of the north e.g. an island says this rush to transfer asylum seekers is not a permanent solution but he says it will let the islands breathe again. eat them our basic goal is for the islands to be decongestant for there to be a better distribution of people all over greece. it's insupportable that we have a ratio of one migrant to 5 locals here and madonnas this in a bed in the rest of greece it's much lower. than the likeness of the refugee. section central lesbos is not just overcrowded it's often described as the worst humanitarian crisis in europe. more a camp was built for 3000 but more than 4 times that many people live here
8:18 am
thousands of them outside the fence right down here we meet not to belittle it from afghanistan but it shows us where he lives with his family as a single mylan tent for 5 people with winter on its way finland man hit you only then i've lost all hope. only god can help us again are the chances i pray we will be rescued from this hellish place and with what i'm good but i am. at its northern edge gloria is expanding a group of men are breaking ground for a family who will spend their 1st night here no one we talked to here expects the population to shrink anytime soon. in the middle of the night yet another arrival a frantic spot carrying migrants rescued off the coast of last boss this time 33 of them including women and children. everyone gets
8:19 am
a bottle of water a snack and a blanket they're relieved as they are registered on european soil but few know about moria their next home. this is a pile of discarded life jackets that were worn by those who made the dangerous crossing to less boss but the risks and the conditions of moriah camp won't keep more people from coming for the past 3 months numbers of arrivals have far outpaced the numbers of departures but if the government's transfer program succeeds the island of lesbos once again could become what it used to be a brief stopover on the way to europe. rather marie is on the last bus to arrive at the landing she collects her bags as the ferry to athens holds its cargo. just i don't worry about. here what i am.
8:20 am
i hope. i was right. and she holds her bags onto the ship she doesn't know where she would live next but she is certain that she will never go back to movie. so where is ra headed did a reporter of c.r. now he put that report together with max center for us on lesbos can take you on a great report. where is it well she didn't know when she left but we were stating contact with her and she texted us after she arrived that she was not where she thought she was going to be i mean the ferry goes to athens a lot of people we talked to thought they were going to athens but they are actually greece is trying to distribute migrants asylum seekers around greek the greek regions and she ended up like a lot of other people in northern greece near testable nuki and just in another refugee camp so she is now living in an ice abox container with she said 15 other
8:21 am
people and she said she cried all day because she didn't know that she was going to just another refugee camp she thought after she got out of moria she would be a free person and she would be able to go around greece she has the right to do that but of course if you're living there and you get all your resources from. a refugee camp and i saw boxes your warm place to sleep and she's kind of stuck there ok it's getting colder and colder so when it's coming on right now why are migrants stuck for years on the greek island of lesbos not transported elsewhere to other locations inside or outside of greece what's going wrong this is to do with the e.u. turkey deal to happen in 2016 when the european union made a deal with turkey that the asylum seekers that come to europe who don't go. asylum who don't aren't eligible for asylum in europe get sent back to turkey but that's only possible for the asylum seekers who remain on the island so the established reception centers on these islands like lesbos and coasts and some of those and people are being held there and their asylum applications are being processed there
8:22 am
so that if they fail then they are sent directly back to turkey which is supposed to accept them instead of going once they go to the mainland and greece has to take them and so these islands have become overcrowded because greece does not want to take them to the mainland before they know if they're from morocco for example and they won't get as are many going back to turkey being sent back i mean is that does that leave you to situation at all it's a little bit hard to find out greece is a little bit silent about how many people are deporting it's not so many actually they deport about 15 in october that's the latest figure i had so it's very small numbers. but their focus now is to find out who gets asylum this is usually women and children and to send them to the mainland this is their strategy for for depopulating the islands like lesbos and briefly if you could years you're still in touch with. you'll be in the find out what what's happened with her that's right. yeah we want to follow the story and find out what happens
8:23 am

8:24 am
manuel neuer for live all that matters is that the team finishes top of the group. goal we want to win the next game against northern ireland we want to end up ahead of holland that would be nice it needs to be our goal but we can also use the game to develop and give certain players a chance to develop themselves you know couldn't you can be 2019 has been another shaky year for the germany team but the match in frankfurt gives them a chance to go into the new decade on a high note. now when it comes to dog sledding most people think of the snow ski frozen north but over the weekend competitive sled dog racing travel to the united kingdom. if you thought dog sledding only took place on snow and ice you've been barking up the wrong tree the annual dry land world championships at the weekend saw teams from around the globe descend on the cross and mud of sussex in england the sleds are fitted with wheels to help the hounds race around the bumpy track
