berlin he was treated there after an attempted assassination. well for the latest from the russian capital moscow over joined by d.w. correspondent emily sure when emily how low to you we can see it's looking a bit early cold where you are and we also have been hearing that the authorities have been going to great lengths to deter people from coming out to protests today have either of those things worked are people staying home. i think it's kind of hard to know at the moment here in the russian capital we do know that as you say that the police and the authorities have gone to great lengths to basically prevent the protesters from gathering at all this time around after a huge mass protests last week where thousands of people came out in the capital they've actually blocked off

a huge section of the capital itself they've blocked roads there you can be able to see a huge police presence as well. and they've also redirected buses around that section of the capital 7 metro stations are actually 6 closed and actually to the 2 meeting points that these team mentioned before the protest as kind of meeting points for the protesters protests or simply aren't actually able to get there so it's a bit of a confusing situation for protesters also for just normal passers by who are kind of wondering what's going on in these team has actually now on the tele ground channel on social media essentially posted new meeting points so it seems that the authorities and the protesters made today be playing a bit of a game of cat and mouse. only what about other parts of russia we

mentioned. associates have said there have been arrests already in eastern russia what more can you tell us. protests here are only set to take to kick off essentially now but they have already started and been going on for several hours in other time zones across russia and thousands it seems or at least hundreds of people have gathered in various cities across the country in. the far east for example people were marching across the ice of the more bay. today and hundreds of people gathered for example and you could to read bork in the urals in the city of in siberia and there also according to independent monitors have already been dozens of arrests of arrests one monitoring organization puts that number at over 250 already it's really unusual for there to be protests

outside of the big cities here outside of moscow and st petersburg essentially not something that we saw last week at those protests a mass protests as well and it seems that we're seeing it again this week though protests do seem to be a bit smaller amid a crackdown by the authorities. really sure when reporting from moscow thank you very much. now millions of hong kong residents are getting the chance to become british citizens the u.k. is offering a special new visa after china imposed a security law and crackdown on the territories pro-democracy movement hong kong was the british colony until its return to china in 1907 and the u.k. says the scheme fulfills a moral and historical commitment to the city's residents for its part china has called the visa offer a gross violation of its sovereignty. let's bring in

correspondent. standing by in hong kong hello t.v. so how are people reacting to the u.k. visa scheme in hong kong are many one congress likely to go ahead and take advantage of it. well neal than also since it's definitely the that you see a path for hong kong as we want to leave the country a little equatorial because healthy current political climate which it was and they say by say you know the ground and like according to the bankers. 5 minutes citizens as simple for applying for the new scheme to move to the u.k. which accounts for over 70 percent of the population in hong kong so those not every of them will the u.k. and take action to tech to offer. u.k.

asked to make the sign here over 250000 people will actually. emigrate to the united kingdom so what's happening about a significant number go bang bang in this because in fact to hong kong is not only the people leaving but also their capital talents and the possessions that they would bring with them to the u.k. and leave home calls not only the post has this politicians that are leaving these people they may seek political asylum in the u.k. but now we're talking about the us and they're really citizens which accounts for the majority of the population and if you so protest is that they would take the offer and least considering to do so because they are not happy with the current situation the hong kong especially after the protests and the aftermath of the implementation of the national security which makes many of the people feel unsafe

in hong kong and the freedoms that the chips away so all most of them they will be the middle class and actually kate educated and professionals hasn't sat well considered to take an offer from the u.k. and see what's been china's response to all this can we expect some sort of retaliatory measure against the u.k. over this new scheme. now so far on china has already stopped recognize the panel passport with seniors' toy story both in mainland china and also home home 4 of his has already follow suit so. cannot for the flight or to leave to try to truly with at the end of that they say can still leave the boat with their home called passports or the hong kong i said to talk him and so this is the 1st half of retaliations china has already claimed a possibility of further retaliation. up to now it's new unclear what how it

works like for the. flight how how would they follow up and take other actions but there has been rumors. around in hong kong that many probation politicians are now suggesting to the beijing authority to considine the folk the price of the hong kong citizen who emigrate to the u.k. whether the end of it so we can expect maybe a few more steps to be tallied and to took to tell hopeful residents that they may face consequences if they take the offer from the former colony. and congar porting for us from hong kong thank you so much. of get a quick check now of some of the other stories making news around the world 8 afghan security personnel have been killed in an attack claimed by the taliban militant
