this is news live from berlin more determination and defiance. in the capital tens of thousands of protesters ignore a government warning and braved riot police to demand the resignation of president . about his disputed reelection last month contest observers say was also coming up. the venice film festival is in full swing but not quite as before our film critic is attending to tell us who's behind the.

welcome to the program and we started where protesters have staged a massive rally in the capital minsk at least a 100 people have been arrested tens of thousands to fatah government warning and return to the streets for the 4th sunday in a row they demanded that president aleksander step down. leader has ruled the country for 26 years in early august he claimed one office again with 80 percent of the vote but many outside observers and the protesters rejected the election thousands were detained and several killed in the unrest that followed the election . and let's cross straight to mint now and get our correspondent nick connelly on the line nic. of mass protest how is the mood today.

well this was an extraordinary day. seen in the last few weeks of people hundreds of thousands despite the filthy whether it was raining. but the people stayed and they walked almost as a presidential palace where the police have cordoned it off and were looking over across the metal. for the most part a kind of carnival atmosphere there were indeed people were out with their dogs and even their small children. not a sense that people had been scared by government threats that had been repeated all through the week and we've seen arrests of students at demonstrating all through the week here in minsk but people stayed out and in big numbers of people very very creative signs out there as they come traditional towards the end of the protest when people were starting to go home in the crowds with police in plainclothes. coming off people making seemingly random arrests i saw my 1st smashed window today. it seems was. that was smashed by police looking

for a demonstrator who they were trying to arrest. people in screaming at the police trying to stop the rest and. walking off with. them. we had a hard time getting in touch with each other we tried for hours and suspected internet and mobile networks had been shut down what can you tell us about that. well that's become a kind of tradition here now that on these protests sunday they'll dorothy's really reduce the capacity of. normal phone calls some mobile operators have admitted that this is based on a direct order from the authorities others try to keep it quiet what they're trying to achieve isn't really clear obviously they can prevent disasters coordinating and talking to one another they can prevent coverage media coverage we've all seen other attempts to prevent media coverage especially with harrison and even arrests and sentences especially for local deloris and journalists but after all when you

have hundreds of thousands people out on the streets with their smartphones in hand these images are going to come out and pretty much in vain but nevertheless that is the thing that seems to become the new normal here yeah it's 29 i guess of the protests and it's to us it seems the momentum really show no sign of slowing people see other t.v. anything. i think there's just a huge sense of relief that people have found the voice of 26 years of one man in charge it feels like people suddenly want to talk about politics something that was very marginal in their lives time now you have people coming up to each other as journalists talking about politics and has become part of their everyday life is not something that just happens on sundays not just on the screen there's something happening in all different kinds of forms where this is going no one can safely print with any certainty right now but people certainly don't give the impression of being scared all being willing to just go back and say sitting at home while

regains control of this country ok thanks for that insight nic good to have you once again nic connelly in minutes. hong kong police have arrested hundreds of people at anti-government protests and city demonstrators are furious about a decision to postpone sunday's planned legislative elections they're also angry about a sweeping national security log posed by china that gives beijing unprecedented power to crack down on critics in hong kong. the was reclaim hong kong they chant and hong kong people unite. these pro-democracy campaign is should be voting today in elections to the city's legislature instead that out on the streets after all sorry she's delayed the poll until next summer citing a spike in coded 19 cases. was

that that protests have been matched with an andris bonds with police firing pettable rules at some. and using stop and search on others as was the was that the the new national security law imposed by china bans demonstrations like the ones i know the reason people are protesting right now the protests my style is planned by the phone calls so we will have to fight for that space through the voice out what we are care what we want to talk about the old saw about oh i think the hong kong government is here to suppress people's rights to express their demands about what the future should look like a lot of rights of being abused them all for. coming on to the composition

activists time tactic she is accused of using seditious words which are also banned oh oh protium ocracy campaign is began. taking to the streets in june last year the recent government crackdown means many are now keeping their views to them sounds. like some days protest proves some in hong kong will not go quietly. time now to have a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. a fire on a large oil tanker has been extinguished after burning for 3 days off the sri lankan coast fire broke out in the engine room on thursday killing one crew member an interest in another the ship is carrying about 2000000 barrels of crude oil but no leak has been reported. germany's foreign minister heiko masse has warned that berlin and its allies will discuss sanctions if russia doesn't clarify how kremlin

now i mean this this this weekend the big talk has been vanessa kirby the british actress who you might know from the netflix series the crown where she plays princess margaret she's here in venice with 2 new films and 2 utterly different roles in the 1st pieces of a woman she plays a an american woman traumatized by the death of her child and in the world the comedy period drama she plays a pioneer housewife in 1900 marco who starts up a forbidden affair with a neighboring woman 2 i don't know different roles but nessa kirby is excellent in both and these are 2 roles that are utterly unlike anything i've ever seen her and before i mean for me she's really the breakout star of this year's venice film festival and i think she's a front runner to pick up the actor's award one that's handed out here in venice at the end of the week ok will have to watch for that what have been your favorite movies so far. well i've liked a lot in the competition but i like

a couple films outside of competition one i really really loved was called apples it's a greek movie and it's sort of a fairy tale it's set in an analog world so no cellphones no digital technology but there's a problem in this world there's people are starting to lose their memory there's a wave of amnesia and people are forgetting the sort of basic facts of life basically the film is an allegory about what digital technology is doing to us when we sort of upload our own memories into these apple like devices hence the name apples and another film that i really really liked also out of competition is also about digital technology book in a completely different manner the director you'll recognize her name it's called pull up it's called the granddaughter of francis ford coppola the niece of sofia coppola and she's here with her 2nd movie called main street and this is a satire of social media celebrity is about sort of the rise and fall of a you tube influencer played by andrew garfield completely different style than

apple's very brash very in your face but i really love this movie and these 2 movies apples and mainstream because they show sort of the the possibilities of cinema and how far you can go with the art form and really besides just the great weather that's why i come every year to the venice film festival yes and we're all envious of your time and quick last question we hear there are some political films this year what kind of topics have been discussed. almost everything i mean you've had a great of the documentary about great to tune back which was on this weekend very very powerful film and on the other side dramas like this aida which is about the shrub and for me sort of the definitive film cinematic treatment of that historical of that it's a bit unusual for venice to have so much politics but this year they are really making play space for it and i really think it's an improvement ok. in venice thank you for that. and we turn to sports now in formula one lewis hamilton's charge

toward a 7th world championship hit a roadblock at the italian grand prix after he received a stop go penalty that ended his hopes of winning his demotion from the front of the field open the door for french gas lead to take his 1st ever formula one checkered flag carlo science of mclaren came 2nd and canadian lance stroll rounded out the podium placings. barcelona's louis suarez could be joining you ventus before the transfer window closes on october the 5th but according to reports in italy and the forward would 1st need to obtain italian citizenship to complete the move because you bent as is already used up its limit of 2 e.u. signings suarez who's married to an italian is said to take an italian language test to improve his chances but that naturalization process usually takes several years to finalize. you're watching news up next to sports life with

a look back at the champions league final during the pandemic don't forget you can stay up to date on her website t w dot dot com follow us on twitter and instagram on a spice or thanks for watching. today don't miss our highlights. program. d.w. dot com highlights. like. my gorgeous. food for the russians so. steeped. in so many different walks of life. some are. oddly trying to put all of that come straight from the heart to

see even when there's no more delusional. inches. from the fruit of the law to their final resting place the russians d.w. documentary. and. football champions league anyway. thank you. all for its very very very very hard on this really really excited because we're going to live been in the champions league and 10 of the what's not to be excited

about let's go let's go there you know. all right. 51st. finally arrived in lisbon we landed it's champions big time i'm so excited does it get any better than this oh my god ok to mix up what's going on you can't. do that don't get. me. thanks to the coronavirus situation this year champions league looks a little different now in theory it's actually pretty cool because it's an 8 team

mini tournaments instead of the standard 2 leg home and away tie let's actually go back and look at why they even started doing this home an away game which in theory makes a lot of sense now one the tournament 1st came to be a long long time ago wasn't it gives the european cup it was kind of ridiculous to think that people from what say partisan belgrade were going to go to london to watch a match and the money came from the 304050 that. in people that were going to be in the stadium so to take away the home team advantage they decided to play 2 legs one home and the other hall so everyone's happy now i can only see thinking with all the t.v. money that comes from football are the fans irrelevant to us. and you took us to the right. i am working actually i'm watching the pre-match press conference this is what football's come to nowadays.

but this is literally happening to kilometers away from us. you know. to make this right you know what i'm kind of all over this the questions are shit and i was watching the training and the 15 minutes of open training they filmed for us to watch was literally the warm up. this is a little bit hard can you get me to drink. i don't think you are. greatly there was supposed to be 16000 fans coming to lisbon for this tournament we've been here almost a week and i've literally seen like 4 or 5 you know i let's go to the center and see if we can find any of them.

people like nobody's here always really talking about it there's no fans and champions league is so much more than just the game it's the build up it's the fans but boy are. all the fans coming from all over behind me here and the events are happening you know that as we stand with a man can tell you where the game not and not and something nice for the national. having an american. hey guys i'm here with my friend taufiq he works for a id and he has an accreditation to get into the matches something that most

journalists right now would probably kill you for imagine close your eyes and dream yourself into a world without corona and have a tournament here the same place the same time with the same teams 200000 crazy fans running around in their jerseys and against arrows cheering making big grew at least in the city i would love to see that but it's totally different what do you think that it shows because there's a big discussion especially in germany about this football fans and it's taking away the soul of football and the fact that they're doing this and there's no fans that show that they're not important fans or i don't think so i think they try to rescue the whole thing i think for a lot of clubs this money smaller clubs like me all. they need the money from the champions league they need the money from the football they not making their money by selling tickets to the fans they make their money to buy all the

expensive messy players. bye bye bye bye setting t.v. rights and if the t.v. is not is not paying the money then we will not see football on that level again. so despite the unfortunate circumstances surrounding this year's champions league which we all know a lot of fans. and the lack of atmosphere it's still a pretty mouth watering clash because we have 2 teams absolutely steamrolled football up until this point now both p.s.g. and byron would complete the trouble if they won this year's champions league p.s.g. would win their 1st game is it because this is their 1st appearance in the final and byron this is kind of like what they strive for because they win the bundesliga every year but they haven't been able to win in europe so it's kind of like ok you guys are good in the bundesliga but you never do anything on a world level so they're a little bit obsessive this is well now both of these teams are undefeated in their

last i think like 12 games so we're in for some pretty quality football hold. hard to there's a little more going on than the last couple days but still close like good c german regionality good game let's talk to some fans hate c using i'm. not good looking and we are disrespectful there is a demand to claim simonton you know and i don't know i wish something very good for tonight was so much elation to mention but. tonight here's to you fans and we're buying so you know what i think is funny is that like the typical journalists who are not like on the ground with the fans interacting and then going to games are usually like just in the stadium like hello i'm

reporting here for whatever whatever it. takes down the fine print. should you go so you can give me just how you turned. my name is here and i was 1st of. all the foreign notes from. 97 to serve and now you know every final. every farmer i'm very very. glad. my post farmer that i don't see. oh oh oh oh oh. right over now this is pretty much as good as it gets all the journalists are lining up to doing their lives herman's kind of getting a little bit nervous as you can see people are trying to get a glimpse of anything making.

it almost exciting thing we've been all day. finding the building brands. as we can think of this kind of we're going to want to hear. what you would like to look in the book i. like you guys are from munich right we're from germany from germany for munich fans yeah why did you guys come here if you knew that you couldn't get into the stadium or would prefer the original because there we like to support our team and to be seen just appalled is also possible from outside the stadium so that's why we're here do you mind if we come with you guys to watch the game play not yet but there was a little her father though. they're not the biggest numbers but they're definitely

the loudest. i mean so it's not a stadium with kind of cool people finance and police would love to get that. c 7

if your goal is no fun but what if the race for the. first you know that you know it but never. got through because you don't mention. it play the. piano i don't want to go oh sleuths overload. don't ask don't fish don't. find out you're not school or join up it's not as big a bright as last year but they're still a party this year. 0. 00 . 00 i think it's one of the business of my life yes to be your enjoying was a hard body image and when you live so as happy as i am that champions league is back we got to watch them exciting games of the one game knockout i hope this never

ever happens again because if you look around you would never be able to know that byron just won the champions league. anywhere he wrote because football is about so much more than just those 90 minutes on the pitch it's about the passion that unites people everywhere and makes him chapel across the continent just to watch their team even though they can't even go in the stadium and you know what i'm talking about because. nothing is ever going to get the substitute the goosebumps you get when you hear you'll never walk alone at anfield or you jump for joy with the yellow on dortmund or you watch your team win the treble and an empty list then . the. 3rd been. a.
