1:02 pm
tens of thousands are taking part in the rally called national grief protesters bill barricades causing traffic chaos they've also smashed the pension system the metro system and the chanting proud to be british well the latest. 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 number of cars were torched all around the city all the while the location the protesters even used corrosive fluid injuring police officers and
1:03 pm
a number of reporters now on the other hand the authorities have to infer that a police officer shot a protester in the chest with a live round in it was caught on camera. we know that previously just because rubber bullets have been widely used there have been from that but this is definitely a precedent police though are saying that they regret having to pull the trigger although they're saying they were obliged to do so i quite. illogical of riotous attack police offices despite a warning from the police they say let's continue to have 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 hard broken. now these protests have typically been
1:04 pm
confined to the weekend so what was the exception today this is a very special day for china it is a tobar of the 1st china's national day so to say but a 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 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 ahead of that and this is a statement that was issued by the authorities before these protests began dahlan acts are one step closer to the actual terrorism the latest development of the
1:05 pm
situation or extreme volumes that happened in hong kong now it is indeed a rare. and police will continue to collect intelligence and liaise with different stakeholders including the relevant government units to 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 spring protests or the worst days of the yellow vests protests it has really as collated 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 for months. to go the youth in hong kong they were mostly unhappy with the possible changes the proposed changes to the controversial extradition walk these changes would have
1:06 pm
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 into something pro-democracy anti beijing in some cases even separatist that's why as i was saying 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 while. 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
1:07 pm
a look at where this goes because clearly there will be more entries and arrests in the streets of hong kong. meanwhile police have raided various locations on monday and tuesday over suspicions fire bombs and explosives were being made in makeshift factories a large amount of weaponry armor materials to make months of cocktails were reportedly seized $51.00 the arrests were made at the same time. independent china specialist on drilling told us that what is happening in hong kong is being stirred up by outside actors to provoke beijing. in the whole the beginning i did the suits but without resorting to. 'd the creativity the little square in the hole because that is all the so all the tractors of china all some all the forces. this is the this war they want john to or that. 11 square situation so this will stronger
1:08 pm
this. honest lives and hope of the situation would. give polls the best 'd say a lot of the people of it is that of everything they 'd say 'd they want to stay if they do the. budget then all the rest falls of all the. so this iteration of a low. us democratic presidential candidate joe biden's campaign team is demanded the major t.v. networks banned donald trump's personal lawyer from appearing on the shows it alleges the rudy giuliani spreading damaging folse about biden on the behalf of the us president caleb maupin explains 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
1:09 pm
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. lot of 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 at the job i do 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 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 royds you to demand the 1000 service to the
1:10 pm
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. facts and because she'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
1:11 pm
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 they are widely viewed as you know part of the republican party take their talking points put them on the air take their opposition research put money are 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 officer. 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 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 a t.v. in fact he was the mayor of new york city through a very traumatic situation 911 i think everybody has the right to be interviewed.
1:12 pm
that's when you knew there was democracy 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. r.t. new york. well democrats have launched an impeachment inquiry against donald trump over claims he offered ukraine military aid if it investigated biden for corruption . is the buzz in trying to quash the ukrainian probe into a gas company that is somewhat full legal me thinks 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 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
1:13 pm
so constitutionally problematic that it demands and requires his immediate removal from office i live here from the election the bottom line is that 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's. the sort of time because a school in finland has left one person dead and 10 injured since the incident took place at a vocational college located inside a busy shopping center in the east of the country where this is claimed that a man pulled a sword from a bag and began to stab students police said the attacker was also carrying
1:14 pm
a gun reports claim the perpetrator was a student at the school. which executive is seen exposed as being a british army information warrior we'll bring you all the story and more after this break. seemed wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out. come out ahead and in games from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

famous perhaps and most popular move was to close italy's ports to charity rescue ships before so be nice parties 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 are 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 forcing so it's now that seems to be fading we're going to shave i think there has already been and you immigration papers this is the beginning of migration from producer cities i'm very worried to be against i'm especially worried but all the small boats that are landy i would not want to see. as it wasn't 2011 when he. bought this i

hope that sold me my feet turned 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 has 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 people who. want to leave and we are not able. and it's going to lock you. up for. a full week before. migration. in the 1st few weeks of september official figures show that around 1700 my quince landed in italy via c.

that's double what it was in the same period last year now while 4 e.u. countries have agreed a relocation plan for migrants that are right 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 know i say they do nothing at all everyone thinks about themselves you would if you got it i would like to trusts birds i do not because everyone has their own interests in europe germany looks after its own interest from. cradle to sea 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 members agree on a way forward to deal with migration it still doesn't resolve the issues italy
1:20 pm
continues to face as a. result of migration that's already taken place 6 countries have already we imposed random border checks to stop migrants moving and stop and search operations are being ramped up on the german border and if the levels of immigration rise once more many italians fear that they will be once again left struggling alone with the burden charlotte people ski for. more the greek government has also announced new deportation measures south and is aiming to kick out 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 and the move comes after another spate of incidents on the island of les bus which houses one of greece's most overcrowded migrant camps and sunday a group of my good started a fire there killing at least one person incident also fuelled mass riots and violent clashes with the police for t.g.
