welcome charlotte how many protesters are still inside. the is very hard to predict to estimate exactly how many protesters is still inside at the moment the estimates given by authorities earlier on today with fewer than 100 people were left inside since then we've personally witnessed numerous people leaving the university most in handcuffs being taken away by police we've seen roughly 2 dozen some of them as they were being led away by those police officers saying their names one in fact calling out his parents phone number asking people who want xing on to call his family let them know that he had been arrested it's unclear exactly what is going to happen to those remaining people inside the building they face a choice of leaving and being arrested by police potentially finding a way the scaping we know that a number of people have managed to escape over the last couple of days or whether

or not they stay inside the building and waited out the threat though forces that police at some point might choose to move into finally put this list now 3 day standoff to an end and those who have been arrested charlotte what sort of dumbass and what sort of fate awaits them. police have said over a 1000 people have been arrested so far those who have been arrested do you face a charge of rioting now that carries a sentence of up to 10 years in prison we'll wait to see whether or not those charges are actually carried out as the days go on what we do know as well is that there are $200.00 people under the age of 18 who were inside the building who were allowed to leave to go home to return to their parents to their families their names and numbers have been taken there that details and police do will say reserve

the right to arrest and charge those those young people those under eighteen's at a later date we've seen some very violent images over the last few days charlotte how has that affected support for these demonstrations. outside the university particularly last night there were huge numbers of people who came out on to the street in support of those protesters who were there students who were still inside those buildings we saw running battles long into the night between those protesters and police very fierce clashes some of them just wanting to show their support others making more of a concerted effort to try and help those still inside the building from escaping causing diversions as well to try and distract police to to move some of the police resources away from the university given those process giving those protesters the opportunity to leave tonight it's been a lot quieter there's been a religious assembly where small group of people gathered to express their support

for the protesters but of course that is not the view of everybody here not everybody supports the process moon as a whole and what's taken place at the university over the last few days there are those people who either don't support the movement politically or simply see this as. very disruptive here in hong kong so many roads have been closed shops have been vandalized this really is affecting day to day lives university semester is brought to an end schools are closed as well so a lot of people would say that this is been a very disruptive 5 months. well in hong kong thank you. now let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world german chancellor angela merkel has pledged more investment to african countries that pursue economic and political reforms germany is hosting an investor conference in berlin on the g 20 is compact for africa initiative the chancellor said greater transparency and

intelligence committees questioning 4 more witnesses about the president's dealings with ukraine 2 of them heard the july 25th phone call between president trump and ukraine's president which by the impeachment inquiry testifying now are left handed colonel on exam the venue on the officer of the national security council and jennifer williams he's counterpart in the office of vice president mike pence both say they had concerns as mr trump asked ukraine's newly elected president for a political investigation of joe biden and his son became a singer is also due to hear from former and i see official kim. more so and could . the former you could special envoy like to. get more on this from washington bureau chief alexandra. welcome on something i guess what everyone wants to know is will we hear evidence today that president trump abused his power

well we can certainly expect to learn more details about the infamous cole president had with the president and the inskeep if you queen on july 25th because as you said those witnesses testifying right now on capitol hill listen in on this phone call and i think that it is especially lieutenant colonel alexander with men and that is considered a key witness here because he told the investigators already how did plea disturbed he was by this phone call and deeply concerned and that he later on had the understanding that the meeting between the 2 presidents in the white house and that the release of the military aid for ukraine those things were conditioned on ukraine and mounting an investigation into the president strums a political opponent joe biden and he's son and he seems really to be a very credible witness just look at him he is a decorated iraq war veteran

a public servant and someone who comes across as full of all your patriotism and do you see in his opening remarks today he was a bit emotional talking about his public service for this country and talking about his escape as a child with his father and his brother from the former soviet republic soviet union well. mr told republicans are they standing by him so far. yes feel they are standing by a president trump and their strategy is to depict the witnesses never trump officials who don't like president trump because they don't like these policies and they also depict the witnesses as people who are acting on hearsay and they have a point here because both witnesses are testifying right now on capitol hill have

never talked to president strummed president's trump about his motives about ukraine scene what is. the reaction of the american public to these hearings. well according to one poll that was published yesterday 70 percent of americans think that in throngs to ask a foreign power to investigate a political opponent but only a slim majority 51 percent say they are in favor of the impeachment inquiry and in favor of impeaching president still not strong and there was even more telling poll published today and according to this poll 65 percent of americans say that they cannot imagine any new information or circumstances during the impeachment inquiry were they could mites change their position on the impeachment

inquiry and it is very telling because it shows you how locked in most americans are on their partisan position and how difficult it will be for the democrats to make their case to the poor or to to the american public that's an example from the moment in washington thank you. and grace responding to transfer about 20000 asylum seekers from it said jan islands to the mainland of the coming weeks franklin many on the island of last boss site of the overcrowded morning at refugee camp w. reporters on the on a c. found mark zandi vision pulled from the bottom that has become home to thousands of refugees desperate to leave her. friends bid farewell ask the buses which. more than $100.00 asylum seekers are leaving maurya camp for some after a year if way to her. the joy is palpable but so is the pain in the uncertainty

a better distribution of people all over greece. it's insupportable that we have a ratio of one migrant to 5 locals here and there not this bed in the rest of greece it's much lower. than a likeness of the refugee reception center lesbos is not just over. crowded 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 thousands of them outside the fence. that we're here we meet not to belittle it from afghanistan but it shows us where he lives with his family a single mylan tent for 5 people with winter on its way philammon hija only been i've lost all hope. only god can help us again are the chances i pray we will be rescued from this hellish plans and with what i'm good but i am. at

context but criticised very strong in the decisions and the procedures followed and that it was disproportionate to continue to pursue a sausage in the way which to prosecutors were doing so they had a very high threshold to continue this procedure and now what we have seen is a new round also in. swedish court of the instance where they applied for pretrial detention on mistress on and and the prosecution said they had these battles swedish courts and so sale of prescription so i think that it's pretty obvious that this is a failed criminal procedure from the swedish authorities side and it is disproportionate that is has been going well so right about that ok so mr stone

still in his arms is now serving a prison sentence in britain for skipping bio to avoid being extradited to sweden is he now likely to be released or will he be kept in jail. a songe is not being kept in prison in the u.k. primarily with a view to next edition request from the united states the british artists who sued him again and disproportionate money which has nothing to do with the easiest clearly outside any extradition requests from the swedish also or it is and it's. unfortunate. 'd that the proceedings also in new k. and of course the backdrop for this is in the. negative you. also are to many countries take a mistress arch says work it with leaking works and. basically these procedures

are made up. and the courtroom review has not been effective just not very credible . oh i'm afraid we thank you for your insight professor us from the university thank you thank you. now to some all of the day's top stories are the united nations says it has reports indicating it doesn't mean killed if iran during days of rioting over increased fuel prices it's also urged restraint and condemned the iranian security forces use of live i mean issue against demonstrators the government insists the price hikes are necessary to fund social welfare programs. having a former prime minister of pakistan know wash everything has left the country heading from london after a court ruled that he could seek treatment for chronic ill health he was prime minister for 3 years and he's serving a 78 jail term for corruption despite denying any wrongdoing.

thousands of supporters of former bolivian president ever more honest in fact take a return to the streets of the capital in the past now they're demanding the resignation of the self-proclaimed interim president and janina. believe his catholic church's call for national dialogue to end more than a month of violent protests. in football germany play their final euro 2020 qualify on tuesday coach york even loves the squad to face northern ireland in frankfurt germany have already qualified a win will boost their seeding in the draw. yogi live still has a few tricks up his sleeve in the remaining euro 2020 qualifier germany have already secured their place at next summer's tournament so love wants to shake things up against northern ireland. planning some changes because i want to see certain players in action again this year and give them

a chance and show my faith in them and give them the space they maybe need. goalkeeper mark andre test agan is among the players expected to start he's been vocal about wanting more playing time for the national team ahead of captain manuel neuer for live all that matters is that the team finishes top of the group. go 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. 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 so that taking place in front. is that welcome so it seems that there's quite a lot riding on this game despite germany's qualification for euro 2020.

indeed there is we had it from germany coach himself he wants to beat the netherlands to top spots in the group why is that so important well it's all about the draw that takes place at the end of the month in bucharest because if germany win that group then they guarantee a top seeding and that would see them avoid other big hitters like belgium italy and england's now this is also an important game because it's the last game of the year in fact after this game is only 2 more left before you can select his 2020 squad say we had him say that he's going to give some fringe players a chance and this is a chance for them to prove themselves and state that claim for a place in that squad so what sort of year has this been that. has progressed since last year's debacle yes on the plus side i things do seem to be heading in the right direction for the you mentioned the debacle of 2018 when

germany failed to get out of the group stages at the world cup they finished bottom of their group in the nation's leak you can live under threat so he has time things around somewhat they've won 6 out of 7 games in their group the only play it was a home defeat against the netherlands and they were totally outplayed on that occasion and some young players like sasha gnabry have established themselves as key fixed is in the side say those are the positive things you still feel love is a bit unsettled on his starting line up he's had a bit of bad luck with injuries so it's been very difficult to get a group of players playing regularly in the same side as each other love has said he's satisfied with how different the 18 is gone but he repeated his claim that journey won't be the favorites for euro 2020 so this is still a side in transition. in front. is reminded of our top stories at this hour chief executive kerry latham searching
