i am. this is the day of news coming to you live from the death still dreiser's as iran cracks down on protesters amnesty international says more than 100 people have been killed during protests over the hikes in fuel prices also the program. dozens of protesters spent another night under siege in a hong kong university campus with food and water drilling how much longer can they

hold out against police. and what age do you think is appropriate for a good to get married. 66. detailed reports from nigeria where child brides are commonplace. plus a planned auction of nazi memorabilia including items belonging to. resist outrage among jewish groups. hello and welcome. at the scene international says more than $100.00 people have been killed in a government crackdown on protests in iran the unrest erupted after hikes in fuel prices authorities responded by shutting down the internet supreme leader ayatollah

ali khamenei i has described the protests as a security. very little information reaches the outside world from iran authorities have shut down the internet whether there are still protests there and where they may be taking place is difficult to verify. videos from monday evening show angry demonstrators some are demanding that the government step down the protests were sparked by a drastic increase in the price of gasoline u.s. sanctions and mismanagement are the main causes of iran's economic crisis. also by the i have 3 jobs to support myself of course people are upset and now they found a reason to show their dissatisfaction everyone does it in their own way. but of course the pictures of men who have been arrested are shown on state television they're accused of initiating the protests at the behest of other countries one

hard line newspaper reports they could face the death penalty. more than 1000 people are believed to have been arrested in the wake of the protests the un has expressed concern over the security services heavy handed response. numbers killed certainly in the dozens. in at least 2 figures some reports even higher so it would be very useful to have a better picture but it's clearly very significant meanwhile the iranian leadership is that hearing to a hard line internet restrictions are still in effect in iran. and for more i'm joined by what is a correspondent in tehran who's following this story for us look at seems a number of casualties and address is much greater than the government has indicated so far what can you tell us from there. it's very difficult for us as journalists here since we have the internet breakdown to get useful information and

trust from information but there are some credible reports from all over the country that apparently to security forces use life munition to shoot on demonstrators specially on saturday so we tend to believe that the figures that amnesty give more accurate official death toll which means probably more than a 100 people have been have lost their lives during the protests on this last weekend now that it makes it go for these photos nic seems to be the hike in petrol prices by some 50 percent but is there a why did anger against the government and its policies there. definitely especially between young iranians they suffer a lot from very bad economic situation in this country we used to have sanctions over a decade here and then came this famous nuclear deal in 2015 and most uranium hopes

to decide to ation will getting better and getting better effectively 2016 and 17 but then last year since u.s. president trump inflicted you have a sanctions specially on oil export and on the financial sector economy went down rapidly devaluation of the local currency here. have a year to last more than half of its value prices are up same for rent commodities staple and the jobs are missing especially young iranians more than 50 percent of young iranians are looking for jobs and if they have a job it's the salary so low that they can make a living so anger is much higher than just contented price hike of gasoline. and the government is reacting to this vote is with an immediate crackdown they've made many arrests some of the people expected to face the death penalty they've shut down the entire. how people are responding to this.

we spoke to many people yesterday here in tehran and specially middle class iranians are very cautious now they are a bit. overwhelmed by. the anger in the streets and by just have a hand crackdown of the security forces so most middle class is. out of out of harm's way now the wait and see this means that protest as we have seen it last week and has come to an end we have a relative stable situation as many police in the streets as you said internet is down but i don't think that the protests as we saw it last weekend will continue to do to the fact that the regime is really reacting very very harshly. in tehran thank you very much for this update from there. let's take a look at some other stories making. in the u.k. a 1st televised debate ahead of december elections taking place between prime

minister johnson and labor party leader. but johnson's conservative party was accused of trying to deceive its press office changed its tritter channel name during the debate to fact check. police and more to have arrested a man in connection with the murder of journalist. who was found dead on the island last you're going fenech one of the country's most prominent businessmen was apprehended when police intercepted his yacht off the coast of. 25 people have been found alive inside a refrigerated container on a danish cargo ship bound for the u.k. this 2 ways were discovered after the ship left port 2 of the refugees are being treated in hospital. after $39.00 victim is the found dead in a truck in the u.k. last month. today. this

marks 30 years since leaders from around the was made a commitment to protect the young from violence and neglect only one country has yet to ratify the un convention on the rights of the child the united states since its adoption deaths of children under the age of 5 afforded by 60 percent and the number of undernourished children has dropped by half but despite the progress children's rights remain a battle down the reports from nigeria where girls madoff while they are still children. a muslim neighborhood in a city in northern nigeria i came here to find out about a girl who was locked up in this place for 2 years not much light or food and left on her own her name is her son she was a child bride these pictures were taken when she was released from captivity just a week ago she was held here by her family because she refused to return to her

husband she was only 15 when she was forced to marry a mother for a child bride one of millions in nigeria if you're born a girl here there's a 44 percent probability that you will be married before you 18th birthday. this neighbor. he says at the age of 15 she wasn't too young to be married he would marry his daughters off much younger. son's. age. 6. by the. short. this is. a fierce advocate for women's and children's rights she helped to be freed robbie is muslim herself she says the koran does not justify this practice dallas lho pacific or any findings or any security that proved those things the admin is

forced marriage is a most of this is not done based on islamic perspective the add on base perspective she says education is key to change outdated practices and support women's rights. very why does a leader that is not all. is something that has to do with advancement so other than laws can be amended and can be seen well that the condition of the. child marriage exists elsewhere in nigeria to here in lagos poverty drives some parents to marry daughters of under 18. is privileged in many ways but that doesn't stop the 17 year old from raising her voice against child marriage her son a story makes her angry a lot of nigerians don't view women as human beings view them as.

i did and it is to them susan wants to amend the constitution so that it bars anyone under the age of 18 from getting married she and 2 friends have started an online petition to bring the issue to the senate floor the next step would be to get to the root of the problem and try to educate the man the women and everyone perpetrating this. there are millions of girls who are married off every year and if those millions of girls were millions of people and it's nigeria's workforce. the g.d.p. and he. has been transferred to this psychiatric hospital the doctors say it will take months to stabilize her it's unclear the government will finance or treatment and there are family will be held accountable for the damage it has done. that report by the family for. the standoff between protesters and police at abysses university in hong kong

appears to be winding down and demeaning protests to bring their options as a food and water run out it's thought about $100.00 protesters are still inside the campus and some of them attempted to escape overnight by climbing through. others surrendered amid warnings that police might fire live rounds to clear the area of 1000 protesters have been arrested since monday. joining me now from hong kong correspondent sean bell shot at hong kong police has given a statement to the press about the latest in the standoff with protesters still trapped in the university campus some 100 rethink what did they have to say. it was confirmed that the standoff is still ongoing students do still remain in the university campus at the moment now the officer did not give specific figures on how many remain inside the building but it is estimated that as many as or up to

$100.00 protesters could still be inside now as you mentioned that the conditions there are dwindling the resources they have food and water hygiene conditions are said to be extremely bad now days into this standoff with police now the officer crucially said that there were no plans at the moment to to storm the building to enter the building he called instead on the protesters to give themselves up and put down their weapons and to the parents as well he put towns and appeal the parents who've been waiting outside the campus anxiously for days now to hear of any news of their loved ones he called on them to appeal to that their children to to drop their weapons and to leave the campus he also gave some more information on those who attempted to escape over the last few days he clarified that number of people who abseiled from a footbridge on the campus in a desperate bid to try and of a police innovative arrest were actually arrested you also said that those who try

to escape from a sewage system a number of those were arrested as well so there was some significant information that's come out from this press conference a short time ago and shut with so many arrests does this market turning point in the pro-democracy movement. is that it will be a blow emerita that so many of these students and how it's been arrested he said roughly a 1000 people have been detained as part of this day's long standoff now whether or not it will bring an end or at least to tone down this protest mean no i think at the moment this stage is unlikely we've spoken to a number of protesters who feel that. fellow students who were caught up in this who have been detained risk so much they face up to 10 years in prison if they're charged with writing many feel that they have to continue this protest movement and not let down those who have been arrested so far and what we have seen over the course of this protest movement is these students read these protests as we do have

the ability to to reinvent this movement and to keep momentum and to keep drawing crowds on to the street weekend after weekend. in charlotte in a separate development a former employee of the british consulate in hong kong says he was detained and tortured by china's secret police and britain has now silent the chinese ambassador in london what can you tell us about this case. these revelations that really do cut to the heart of this protest movement now simon chang the former british consulate employee has given various interviews he's also written a statement alleging that he was tortured after he was detained during a trip to mainland china and he the allegations are quite difficult reading klute the fact that he was put in stress positions sleep deprivation he said he was beaten as well now this is something that is have of course sent shock waves across hong kong here among the protest movement this is exactly why so many people took

to the streets in the 1st place fear of mainland china encroaching on their rights on their freedoms here in hong kong as you say the british foreign minister has now called the chinese ambassador saying he was outraged by these allegations for their part though china said that it is also expressed anger at the u.k. response is long accused the u.k. and the u.s. of meddling and interfering in this protest movement shala chosen bill in hong kong thank you very much as always. in the u.s. an army officer has testified he was duty bound to object to what he called the president's improper phone conversation addressing ukrainian investigations of top . us democrats or republicans attack the left and alexander of interment who's on president trump's national security council casting doubts on his noisy to the united states his testimony lost a pivotal week as the house impeachment investigation reaches further into the

white house. they had witnessed the controversial phone call at the heart of the impeachment inquiry lieutenant colonel alexander vnd mn top white house expert on ukraine and jennifer williams an advisor to vice president mike pence both told the panel they had concerns about the cole. part of the record with that i found the july 25th phone call on usual because in contrast to other presidential calls i had observed it involved discussion of what it appeared to be a domestic political matter it was inappropriate. it was improper for the president to request and to demand an investigation into a political opponent opponent especially a foreign power where there is at best dubious belief that this would be a completely impartial investigation the democrats hope to amass evidence that

president trump abused his position using military aid to ukraine to investigate his political opponents the republicans again sought to undermine the credibility of the witnesses of course. your boss had concerns about your judgment your former boss dr phil had concerns about your republican lawmakers even question lieutenant colonels and loyalty to the country having emigrated to the u.s. from ukraine age 3 the proceedings continued with testimony from former u.s. envoy to need to kurt volker and to morrison a former national security council official at the cabinet meeting president trump continued his condemnation of the entire inquiry what's going on is a disgrace but it's an embarrassment to our nation given enough evidence of wrongdoing on the president's part of the house dominated by democrats will vote to send the case to trial in senate this long drawn out political battle is only shifting gears. you're watching the news coming up ahead.

the riddle of this is north of germany talent show she's a recent immigrant from indonesia. but 1st to other news pope francis was greeted by adoring crowds in bangkok and he arrived for as he arrived for a weeklong tour of thailand in japan the pontiff hopes his visit will boost the faith of catholics in both countries and this is pressing recent issues like human trafficking is the 1st pope to visit thailand since john paul the 2nd in 1984. voters and if you see the region heading to the polls in a referendum that could result in a new federal state for the country the civil ethnic group has agitated for years for its own state its push for statehood triggered undressed in july that left dozens dead and so security forces sent into the region. the

house in which the nazi dictator other figure was born is to be turned into a police station austria's interior minister has confirmed this the decision followed. of debate over how best to prevent the building which lies on the german austrian border from becoming a pilgrimage site for neo nazis. meanwhile an auction house in munich has sparked controversy over how jimi should handle its velux of its nazi past yet it 900 items are due to go on to the have a list of them plus the belongings of former high ranking nazis like this top hat which belong to. the european jewish association has criticised the auction and demanded it be called off german law prohibits the display of nazi symbols like the swastika which are considered unconstitutional. joining me now is political correspondent hans van how is it is legal in germany to

sell nazi relics like the ones we just so well in fact it is otherwise as oclock presume would not be happening it depends very much on the context in which nazi symbols are displayed and offered for sale in this case it's a matter of historical objects it's well known or actually a company that is known for selling historical objects under these circumstances it is allowed to sell these things it would be for pro forbidden for instance in a political context for instance. right wing political party were to try to use this symbols to promote its ideas that are strictly forbidden in germany but under the circumstances in a historical context it is a lot ok remind us then why does such an auction attract so much criticism in germany. well in fact since the end of the 2nd world war maybe since the time that the nazis took power almost 80 years more than 80 years ago in fact there has been

a very strong in modern germany against anything to do with nazis any symbols of nazis any nazi thought there is a very strong feeling in germany that this was the biggest mistake that germany ever made in its history that it has to atone for this mistake for all the crimes that were committed in the name of the nazis so there is a very strong to connected in germany to nazi symbols and to anything that has to do with nazi ideology so despite this to prove that these things are still being sold under still people buying them who buys this kind of stuff. frankly we don't really know since in most auctions the buyers and saw in fact the sellers the auction house has speculated that there is a lot of interest in german historical objects in asia strangely enough that there are museums in asia especially in china apparently that are interested in such

objects in order to attract viewers attract the public to their museums german museums have said that this is something that they would never be interested in because they feel that the objects themselves are simply objects a top of other feature is of no particular historic significance the only possible significance that has is that it gives you a kind of. culture of us or something like that that it gives you a kind of feeling of gruesomeness of something that is not something that german historical historians would really be interested but apparently there are people who are interested in this that particular topic was solved this morning for 50000 u.s. dollars and 50000 euro while that's a lot so there's obviously money to be made from this kind of stuff down because don thank you very much for that. t.v.
