11:02 am
tens of thousands are taking part in the rally called national grief protesters have built barricades paralyzing traffic officers mashed up and princes in the metro system some have encouraged them to go on to be british and the latest i talk to are to go. so hong kong police and city authorities didn't just brace themselves for nothing it was clear that on tuesday it's already say for sure that this has been the worst violence the city has seen in weeks if not months and the preparations were well advanced the authorities even shut down the entire metro system in the chinese rule city it appears that the weapon that was used most by the protesters were molotov cocktails or fire bombs they were being thrown around different parts of the city and that's why we saw so many things in flames including vehicles and motorcycles in fact the police have confirmed that
11:03 am
a number of cars were closed all around the city ok's and the protesters even used kolo so food enjoying police officers and a number of reporters now on the other hand the authorities have confirmed that a police officer shot a protester in the chest with a live round and i can say that we can even show you that particular moment it was caught on camera. we know that previously just because rubber boards have been widely used there have been raise from that but this is definitely a precedent police though are saying that they regret having to pull the trigger
11:04 am
although they're saying they were obliged to do so. by quite. a large a group of riotous attacked police offices despite a warning from the police they say let's continue their violent attacks the police officers lives were on the serious threat to save his own life and the lives of his colleagues he fired a live shot at this sale and the police force really didn't want to see anyone being injured it is really heartbreaking. now these protests have typically been confined to the weekend so it was the exception today you know usually we hear these kind of news updates on saturdays or sundays but this is a very special day for china it is a tobar the 1st china's national day so to say but tobar the 1st $21.00 thing is even more special because it is the 70th anniversary of the founding of the people's republic of china and there are massive celebrations a lavish parade in beijing with all the communist party leaders there including the
11:05 am
chairman paying this is why protesters felt they were obliged mostly young people in hong kong to make sure that their message is heard to make sure that they are seen in beijing and all around the world and they have been preparing well in advance police still banned any kind of such rallies head of that and this is a statement that was issued by the authorities before these protests began. dahlan x. one step closer to the acts of terrorism the latest development of the situation or extreme walvis that happened in hong kong now descended to be a very very police will continue to collect intelligence and liaise with different stakeholders including the relevant government unit. sets assess the level of threat. like i said the worries were out there and now the scenes that we were seeing on tuesday they do resemble some of the worst violence during the arab
11:06 am
spring protests or the worst days of the yellow vests protests it has really escalated very much now the demands of the protesters have evolved over the months what is the motivation at this point we do have to remember that initially when the protests began several months ago and in fact something around 4 months ago the youth in hong kong they were mostly happy with the possible changes the proposed changes to the controversial extradition law these changes would have allowed. to move suspects or people that were fully criminally charged to mainland china and the fear among the youth was some unfair trials things like that however these plans were later officially suspended or fully scrapped that was the announcement although the protests didn't stop and this movement really turned to do something pro-democracy and in some cases even separatist that's why as i was saying
11:07 am
again it was very important for them to come out and put their message across on china's national day and just for you to get an idea of what the protest is like right now what their ideas are just listen to one of the protest leaders joshua won't. it's time to let member or she aware that now is our battle no matter on the battlefield and. on the straight and international level so let's have a look at where this goes because clearly there will be more entries and arrests in the streets of hong kong. independent china specialist andrew long told us that what's happening in hong kong is being stirred up by outside actors. and the whole the beginning of the the suits but without resorting to. all the creativity the little square nautical because that is all the sober all the
11:08 am
truck does absorb it all some all the forces behind this is though this want they want john to or that. situation bobo so this too will pass trying to with this. honest lives and hope of the situation would. give poles the business side. of the people of it is that of everything. ready ready they ready just ready want to stay if they do the. butt of jokes on it then all the rest falls of old in a tub of self so this explosion that will be the most of. us democratic presidential candidate joe biden's campaign team has demanded that major t.v. networks bam donald trump personal lawyer from appearing on their shows and alleges that rudy giuliani is spreading damaging falsehoods about biden on behalf of the
11:09 am
u.s. president held up and has more former new york city mayor rudy giuliani is making his rounds on america's t.v. networks now rightly or wrongly donald trump is under a lot of heat facing an impeachment inquiry and rudy giuliani intends as the president's lawyer to tell the other side of the story but the president's talking about is however there is a. motive evidence that the ukrainians created false information people were ignoring that that biden played a role in getting these collusion allegations covered up i didn't ask him to look into joe bugner yes knew of the allegation of the related my client which tangentially involved joe biden in a massive bribery not unlike what he did in china one of the points that rudy giuliani has been making is that there seems to be evidence of potential corruption from joe biden and his son in both ukraine and china now the biden campaign seems
11:10 am
to believe this talking point is off limits in an unprecedented move we've actually got the joe biden campaign asking t.v. networks not to interview rudy giuliani saying that what he says in these interviews is somehow out of bounds we run suited him on the to the facts you no longer book rudy giuliani a surrogate for donald trump who has demonstrated that he will knowingly and willingly lie in order to advance his own narrative it's now an open question will t.v. networks in the united states that claim to be fair balanced in showing both sides of the issue actively boycott one side the president of the united states aside to be precise let's not forget that the debunked conspiracy theory that somehow russia and trump colluded in order to win the white house was in the headlines all over the us media and at this point rudy giuliani says they are conspiring to silence him why because they're afraid of the facts and the reason they want me to be silenced is not because i'm funny and it's because i've got. the facts and because
11:11 am
he's guilty and these folks are repeat offenders one of the co-authors of the letter is a need to done now she was a former white house communications director under obama and it's reported that as white house communications director she declared war on fox news the white house had no dealings with a major t.v. network now some saw that as an affront to the 1st amendment. let's be realistic here howie you know they are fair widely viewed as you know part of the republican party take their talking points put them on the air take their opposition research for money or not find is this move against rudy giuliani the 1st step in pushing pro trump voices off of mainstream american t.v. networks or is it just a presidential race where all means are good let's talk to new yorkers we're not idiots we all know what channels feel a certain way which shows all fields or. that's what they do all the time they try to shut out the other side i don't think it's fair i think that giuliani should be
11:12 am
able to speak and biden should be able to refute any any charges as rudy giuliani i think he's earned the right to be at c.v. in fact he was the mayor of new york city through a very chimeric situation 911 i think in everybody has the right to be interviewed . when you knew. the most christie even here in the democratic party stronghold of new york city seems like very few americans are sold on the idea that t.v. networks should be boycotting the president's lawyer kaleb mufon r.t. new york democrats have launched an impeachment inquiry against trump claims he offered ukraine military aid if it investigated biden for corruption trump alleges by didn't try to quash craning probe into a gas company but his son works for legal and media analyst lionel things democrats are running out of options. the constitution asks the question let's assume everything this president did was indiscreet wrong i'll even say for the sake of
11:13 am
argument illegal the only question that we have to ask pursuant to this wonderful document is that has what he has alleged to have done assuming it to be true is it so egregious so constitutionally problematic that it demands and requires his immediate removal from office by year from the election the bottom line is the democrats have this as their only weapon if they don't come up with one article of impeachment with a majority if they don't do this they're going to have to explain to their constituency why they did i'm sorry this is a political matter they cannot make this president's meter move they're hoping maybe something will take hold this time that. more than 200 migrants have reportedly landed on italian shores over the weekend as the
11:14 am
country embraces a post helping the era rome recently lifted the former interior minister its controversial ban on rescue boats reaching a tie in port r.t. charlotte devinsky picks up the story. under the cup of darkness fresh arrivals set foot on the tully soil these migrants were picked up off to being spotted by the coast guard in the mediterranean over the space of a few hours by the boats look people also landed on lampedusa the island for years has been the front line of italy's migration courses. from the.
11:15 am
former interior minister mr hugh selby may not be everyone's cup of tea but his hardline anti immigration policies did seem to resonate with italians his most famous perhaps and most popular move was to close italy's ports to charity rescue ships before salvi nice party believe came to power as part of the coalition it only had been described as collapsing under the weight for my quince in 2017 almost 120000 or right by sea routes in 2018 the yourself we need close the ports that dropped to a little over 23000 many had hoped that the end was in sight now that seems to be fading and i think there has already been a new immigration pick this is the beginning of migration from producer so i'm very worried to boost i'm especially worried but all the small boats that are landy i
11:16 am
would not want the situation as it was in 2011. but this i hope that suddenly my feet turn to the government so that he might. let's say an equilibrium in the island and stop this trafficking now italy has a new government one that is more pro e.u. and us distanced itself from the politics of selvi me it's using much softer language over the issue of migration and it's where you open the ports for some this is the start of a slippery slope we probably have and you serve you. and we are not able to play show that it's going to lock you. so we can be for. migration. in the 1st few weeks of september official figures show that around $1700.00
11:17 am
migrants landed in italy via sea that's double what it was in the same period last year now while for a new countries have agreed a relocation plan from migrants that arrive in italy this is only a temporary emergency mechanism itself has to be presented to of the e.u. members later this month and it will remain voluntary that's raising some eyebrows in the lampedusa there is also skepticism over the offer of help from the e.u. well you and i say they do nothing at all everyone thinks about themselves what if you got it i would like to trusts birdseye do not because everyone has their own interests in europe germany looks after its own interest from. cradle. i believe you rip looks more to tell me interests than to those of a single country that has often left alone too many times. even if even
11:18 am
members agree on a way forward to deal with migration it still doesn't resolve the issues italy continues to face as a. result of migration this is already taking place 6 countries have already reimposed to run the border checks to stop migrants moving and stop and search operations being ramped up on the german border and if the levels of immigration rise once more many italians fear that they will be wrong again left struggling alone with the put in charlotte people ski. meanwhile the greek government has also announced new deportation measures athens is aiming to kick out as many as $10000.00 migrants by the end of next year thousands more are also to be relocated from overcrowded camps to other parts of the country the move comes after another spate of instance on the island of less post which has as one of the increases most overcrowded migrant camps on sunday a group of migrants started

11:20 am
a political move organized by the european union and the member states the this is still very far from happening basically europe remains with other drives with or without in a. on how to handle this kind of events. a twitter executive has been exposed to also be a british army information warrior details after the break. what holds its institutions. to put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express an interest. or some want to be rich. but you'd like to be 1st to see what the $43.00 of them or m.p.

welcome back it's been revealed that twitter is middle east editor is also an officer in the british army's psychological warfare unit r.t. its ally looks at how compatible those 2 roles are. they have for years been questions as to who shaped the editorial policies of twitter well when it comes to the social media giants operations in the middle east it turns out the british army has quite the hounded it middle east has discovered that twitter's head of editorial specializing on the middle eastern region also moonlights for the u.k. army former journalist gordon mcmillan has openly shared this information when his linked in page and the 77th progress made mcmillan serves in is no ordinary unit created back in 2015 it conducts non-lethal warfare with a proud slogan influence an outreach these warriors fight their battles on the front lines of social media seeking to change and influence behavior our aim is to challenge the difficulties of modern warfare use alone lethal engagement and
11:23 am
legitimate nonmilitary leavers as a means to death behaviors of the opposing forces and adversaries it's no wonder the middle east has become a priority for the british army with its forces having played quite a role destabilizing the region in the past decade. or. so brigade 77 it's certainly got plenty to get its teeth into general nick carter the head of the u.k. army was full of high hopes for his social folgers in a speech he delivered last year 77 pre-k. the show should come back to we've got some remarkable talents when it comes to

social media production design and indeed arabic poetry and at least one of them seems to have lived up to the potential since called the macmillan joined twitter in 2013 the social media. jayanta suspended iranian press agency s. and banned thousands of middle eastern accounts although mcmillan was proven to be working on 2 different fronts simultaneously puts a doesn't seem all that bothered we actively encourage all our employees to pursue external interests in line with our commitment to healthy corporate social responsibility and we will continue to do so so while twitter wants to maintain how independent and unbiased it is its policy of encouraging staff to pursue outside interests coming back to wanted those being the u.k. government propaganda operation which has attempted to create clusters to draw journalists and academics in order to essentially promote. the genders in relation to clearly international affairs and this kind of manipulation you
11:25 am
mention environment is profoundly unfair and old some of the crown to be dangerous if you allow governments to start to shape what people think and understand about what's going on in the world in a way that is going on through brigade $77.00 and. you carry the ability to call it to maintain any trying to show balance or control is severely limited we asked the british army spokesperson for comment he told r.t. there was no relationship between the 77th brigade and twitter other than using it as a social media platform. a sword attack at a school in finland has left one person dead and 10 injured the incident took place at a vocational college located inside a busy shopping center in the east of the country witnesses claim a man pulled a sword from a bag and began stabbing students police say the attacker was also carrying
