this is the w.'s live from berlin beijing intensifies its crackdown on democratic freedoms in hong kong police arrested a media tycoon a leading pro-democracy complainant jimmy lie and search his newsroom is accused of colluding with foreign forces under the tough new security law imposed by beijing but also coming up. i think we've already won because we overcame mafia became our indifference to politics and we have a camera apathy and indifference to the defeated candidate in belarus's for the

presidential election claims the result was rigged and of clashes across the nation that's president lukashenko headed for a landslide victory. and all the coronavirus is killing the indigenous people of brazil benefiting goes clear in the amazon forests for agriculture we have a special report. welcome to the program china has a gun crackdown on democratic freedoms in hong kong with the arrest of media tycoon jimmy lie he's a prominent pro-democracy compare as an outspoken critic of beijing's policies in the territory lies own newspaper reported he was being held for suspected collusion with foreign forces under the tough national security law imposed in june. this was the moment of arrest jimmy lie put into an unmarked police van outside his home in

hong kong. then driven away. the. police raided the publisher's office late in the morning. he was then later brought to the offices of his media company next media the paper itself released these pictures mr live being is called around the office by police officers. police said they were looking for evidence but did not specify what exactly. the 71 year old jimmy lie is among several arrested in a police operation focused on his group of media outlets including the popular tabloid apple daily. in a statement police said 7 people have been detained on suspicion of fraud and colluding with foreign forces part of the new security law. this morning around

945 together with our colleagues from the criminal investigation department and military staff we got a warrant to conduct an operation to search for evidence of a ration so far as smooth and we hope to finish soon and not to disturb the operation of the media. it is not the 1st time jimmy lie has been arrested. china's state media has portrayed him as a traitor and accused him of being one of the masterminds behind the many recent protests in the city. he's a well known and outspoken pro-democracy figure in hong kong who regularly criticize china's or thora town rule many here in hong kong see him as an unlikely hero. i don't think the police should be doing this after all this is a media organization hong kong claims to have freedom of the press so i don't think they should be raiding the media's premises. the self-made billionaire and media

owner is the only high profile business person who so far has been willing to talk and be criticised. in the arrests come only days after the us government announced sanctions on hong kong and mainland chinese officials. it's a clear signal that china is determined to enforce the new security law despite growing international pressure well joining me now from london is nathan law the chairman of hong kong's them a sister party he faces similar charges in hong kong and is threatened with arrest if he returns nathan what do you make of jimmy allies arrest. why this is kind of classic from the communist party thing that they would opportunity and are basically using. the national security prosecute and the protocol like. jimmy and i have been very vocal in criticizing the chance government and

protecting all come people's freedom so that was kind of a case to attract and the others to the silent. jimmy jimmy has been very very vocal you also have been part of these protests as beijing plans to moscow mind behind this the protests. of course not go away beijing portrayed is to frame the prominence cul de sac and says to take full responsibility for all the. upheaval for the past year but actually this is a leaderless movement people are acting on their behalf and really devote themselves to meet mine with their own capacity so i don't think that it's a reality maybe just wanted to couple of cases to prosecute prominent. so you say the movement is a leader that's won but how is this high profile arrest going to affect the pro-democracy movement. well you would definitely create

a chilling effect which means that even though you are not. so-called kulu dealing with foreign forces you are acting on your own but beijing could definitely trauma cases on you and they will. people who want you want to voice out so that beijing's agenda and not to be scared of really giving up your voice are you yourself i mean you're an exile if you will in london right now are you yourself said. well of course we understand how far reaching home rich can be and even though we are kind of scared but if i want toys to. stop what actions are cope with that my actions will be speaking louder and louder to be able to talk all calm people at the amount and genuine thought over the in order to get more international attention and support. it are you going back to hong kong any

time soon. well according to state media i am on a one cut of the details so it is unlikely that i am able to go back to all but if i do dispute that it will be on call become the i'm a question prepaid. i don't know thank you very much thanks to belarus now we have the election commission says president exam a look at schenkel won a landslide 80 percent of the vote in sunday's election but the opposition candidate said lana to kind of says the result was rigged and she was the real winner germany's government says it has strong doubts about the results with which triggered clashes across the roofs. many voted and many openly supported the opposition but official figures total different story

a story the opposition candidate rejected on monday. linnaeus of course the former we don't agree with the results we have absolutely contradictory information we have official protocols from many post ations where the number of votes in my favor a many times that for another candidate. we're gathering proof of falsification and we have people who are ready to confirm fraud at poll stations. surely it's a little before. the. others had already demanded a different narrative on sunday night. and this was the capital minsk after the big result solution co was announced. they knew they were taking a risk the president had warned them. you have to follow the law and any talk of repression will disappear the lower is above all else if you

break it we will respond. and we have been light handed in our response so far just like handed to be honest with you i've always held back called law enforcement i told them there is no need for a heavy response you. must excuse the bridge. many of the sharp end of the response would not have described it as like handed dozens were injured and civil rights groups say one man was killed after being hit by a police van. officers arrested 3000 some reported the army units were manning entrances to the city and yet others said that police in smaller towns didn't take on protesters and at times the protestors went after the police i. most polling was not independently monitored and outsiders were not

impressed by the russian democracy. but obvious that since 25 years we haven't seen tree and elections until i was at all but i think not any election before has been as much fake this one i think that it's clear fake election that you can not call an election. feel sorry t's we're not ruling with consent on sunday night the gap between look at shanghai's reality and that of many of his people would seem to be widening i. was running you know is bill or isn't that a journalist and a list of fun out of your chalk of front of the election commission says look at central want around 80 percent of the votes do you think that was are is at all credible. for now i think majority of better sense do not believe it's real results i think this number is our fate because i know how elections are being the regulars they don't even count the ballots where they just get the numbers from the

central letter all communications and they pooled the right numbers in the final protocols and the only thing for the commission members is to do this balance into their files so their servers independent service can see their. unfortunately or fortunately we're question. will not recognize the few last he's definitely in minority right now and he definitely has the crisis of legitimacy from the people in maine people in 30 other cities that were protesting less why we believe the question can receive more than 2025 percent the folds and now the question if there are men who are officials and they will they will switch the site and they will support the will of people. well if the sideline is going to scare says that she will not accept the result what harm what one can she do well what are her options . so once again i was brave enough to stay in the others because my

prediction yesterday to one of the foreign media was that today all of the leaders of opposition will be to cough to be on the ready set logical most is free your team made money at least the police the free and the 3rd inmate fled the country ready. and also have promised in case they feel fresh and cold in much of his position and in the nazi begin negotiations she will join the protesters you set out and also several people to profit you to do change the situation. no matter what and it will be much more people with it and show up on the streets something yes that we've seen pretty robust reactions from from the police to the protests what do you make the way of the way the police have responded to the demonstrators and do you expect that to get more even more harsh

1st full of the use of violent force berthel force yesterday it was perfectly legal police use disproportionate force against peaceful protesters i did see on radios on the wrong side when people talk to them the stone and throw the stone into a police line and the 2nd time i saw when people were throwing efforts for oranges i didn't see and increased forms to apple from oranges police a launch the water cannons and the grenades and you know what happened more than 50 people injured right now one person dead and 3 persons are the physical condition right now and we don't know how much people will work and i've seen as well after yesterday profit. from a good job thank you very much with your input. time now to have a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today in afghanistan an assembly of tribal leaders has approved the release of 400 taliban

champions league quarter final national scene like to end athletic or madrid go ahead on thursday 2 of a later post players after testing positive ones leipzig tips training we are ready for anything they say. but 1st here in germany the center left social democratic party has announced its candidate for chancellor in next year's general election when america heads into retirement at the end of her 4th and final turn it's all of shorts currently the finance minister in the coalition government with merkel's conservative choice has been polling as the country's most popular s.p.d. politician is perceived as having skillfully responded to the coronavirus prices with a multi-billion euro stimulus package and buffering the economic for. just a few minutes ago showed said his social democrats had the best plan to guide

germany and europe's recovery from the crisis and confront new challenges it's begin to find a new era is beginning not only in the sense of how we shape the time after corona but also that the next decade will be about how we can manage the future of iraq. country how we manage the future of europe and who has the best plan we are firmly convinced that this is the social democratic party with your aunt fortune. we're joined now by correspondent nina. who is all of shorts and why is he the chosen one to stand as the candidate for the s.p.d. for chancellorship well here is anglo-american finance minister you said he is the number 2 in america current government and he's also her official deputy that means whenever she goes away on holiday for example of sorts temporarily stands in as german chancellor and he is the s.p.d.

as most popular politician you said it and that is interesting because that was not always the case his image has changed in the corona crisis he did manage to present himself as a skillful crisis manager and before the corona crisis he was often seen as somebody who lacked charisma who didn't appeal to voters the left wing of his party criticized him for some of his positions and now they're saying look voters we've overcome our differences we've chosen our strong man and we're speaking with one voice. so what are the chances of actually becoming the next german chancellor. well if i go on machall was running again which she isn't then the chances would be very slim indeed but since she is not there is a very different ballgame and i believe that the s.p.d. has recognised that it is going to be leaving a gap in the center for voters who want to send to focus the politics and the s.p.d. is now trying to fill that gap with the left of course by nominating him so early

on in the game they're also putting the other party's under pressure to prison their candidates and to position themselves politically and so they want to gain as much capital as they can but ultimately of course his chances of success will also depend on just how the pandemic the corona pandemic will unfold here and any of the next coming months it will depend on the other candidates mainly the greens on the conservatives who are the s.p.d. most important challenges and then it will also depend on the s.p.d. itself who will have to show whether they've really overcome that infighting and that struggle for direction whether they need to turn more left or stay in the middle and whether they will manage to present themselves as a united force. without political correspondent thank you nina. for those presidents. lashed out at his country's most feuds t.v.

its retail industry to look like a real estate boom had inner city neighborhoods torn down and replaced with shopping centers many of them catering to the luxury segment markets and street stores were driven out of the city up to today vendors from set up their stores and turning to city center face hefty fines but some take the risk this man who does not want to reveal his name used to work on the city's construction site this. think there is no way to find employment right now i'm getting too old for these jobs so i set up the story. people like him are called curio vendors in china they show up in popular places and quickly leave when officers approach with few other perspectives he invested his savings into a new move to rise tracy say you thought you were saying oh my business is not really good it's just enough to survive and pay my rent i have to make a living somehow only out there with them. he spite encouragement from the central

government city's a hesitating to allow them back to vittie is all he limited to the old school after quitting the office job grinned one was looking forward to being her own boss but quickly had to learn that her you really want freedom has its limits too. there are days when business is bad and you just don't feel like coming back the next day but if you do that you'll lose many customers there are rules in this business and one is that you have to be there consistently if your customers know you were being here and they will come if you're here one day and the next day you're not it won't work well. for a long time of visuals and citizens or street stores as a remnant of the past but for end one does not plan for the near future sports now and the champions league quarter final match between german and spanish

a chance to advance and believe in it but it's clear that they are favored based on their performances over the many years. on. the bottom line lights it believe but lack world stars certainly not the case with atletico who have a who's who of talent on their team yet maybe all the commotion and problems caused by coronavirus and restrictions on sports could be an advantage for the underdogs. we for paired for 3 weeks for a game to concentrate on one single game we've never had anything like that. and the world has never had a situation like this before which makes everything rather up in the air. you're watching the news coming up next the news asia escaping the chaos hong kong residents look to emigrate as beijing climbs down on their freedoms and the corona virus takes
