you know if you mock you join you. a huge anti beijing protest in hong kong turns ugly with live rounds fired by police and demonstrate just throwing acid at the offices. to u.s. presidential hopeful joe biden's team demands the news networks stop giving at times a lawyer accusing him of spreading lies about the former vice president new york rudy giuliani should be banned from the t.v. it's killing on he should be able to speak and biden should be able to refute any any charges they try to shut out the other side everybody has the right to be there

. and at least he's a spike in migrants arrivals to rome overturns former interior minister. decision to close the rescue boats. thanks for joining us midnight here in moscow this is r.t. . another huge beijing protest in hong kong has left at least 66 people injured have to protest is that clash with the police more than 180 people were arrested or thirty's used tear gas water cannon and rubber bullets the break up the crowds. i. turns of thousands

took part in the rally which is called national grief protesters built barricades that calls traffic chaos smashed the pendants is the metro system some of the witch chanting crowds british 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 'd and motorcycles in fact the police have confirmed that number of cars were torched all around the city on one location the protesters even used corrosive fluid injuring 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 in it was caught on camera. we know that previously just because rubber boards have been widely used there have been to raise from that but this is definitely a precedent police though are saying that they were grad having to pull the trigger although they're saying they were obliged to do so by. the logic of riotous attack police offices despite a warning from the police they say linds continued 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 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 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 the protesters felt they were obliged mostly young people in hong kong to make sure that their message is hard to make sure that they are seen in beijing and all around the world and they had 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 acts of terrorism the latest development of the

situation or extreme walvis that happened in hong kong no decent it to be rare. and police will continue to collect intelligence and liaise with different stakeholders including the relevant government units to a sense 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 vest protests it has really escalated very much. now the demands of the protesters have volved 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 unhappy with the possible changes the proposed changes to the controversial extradition walk 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 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 want. this 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. you all police raided various locations on monday and tuesday over suspicions fire bombs and explosives were being made in makeshift factories a large amount of weaponry and materials to make of cocktails were reportedly seized $51.00 the arrests were made at the time. i'm joined live on the line now by former police officer and commentator on policing issues that speed to get in you peter the bit a lot of negative comments made publicly about how the hong kong police have handled these protests especially though by that use of live rounds as a former policeman in what were you taught in what situation is it acceptable to fire a gun. it just wouldn't happen in the context of protest in the u.k. we have a largely unarmed police service and large rounds are a 1000000 miles away from a tactic that would be used in controlling protests here. laurin hong kong has got

lots of similarities with the law in the u.k. although since independence but the laws of closer to bear broadly speaking the use of force lore i believe is similar which means that you would only use a potentially lethal force if you honestly believe that someone's life was in danger and that's what the police are saying and probably was the case in relation to the situations that we've seen that said the shot that's been fired versus seriously injured the protester. it may even be that their offices are going to be saying that they didn't intend to fire their weapon because. you've got a situation where they he was approaching with outstretched holding a gun and the protester hit him across the arm with a heavy metal pole which could well have caused him to fire the gun unintentionally so it's only thing more clear that it was a deliberate use of. a live round and

a person they have fired over live rounds into the air but no other injuries have been reported but it would be just on heard of in the context of u.k. policing it's all very well you know training somebody teaching them in theory not to shoot when when they're in a violent confrontation situation but when you're seeing people wrestling each other to the ground being beaten with you know metal poles is it is it easy for an officer to panic there in self-defense to do something like that. it isn't in the in the command of. police resources during a riot situation a proto situation. in the ideal situation you wouldn't have officers being picked off in that way you wouldn't be that close with the protesters the name of the game is to keep some distance between you and the protesters if you can. water cannon of news before they are effective for their c.s. is used in some countries for that purpose baton rounds are used for that purpose

in the u.k. we tend to use docs and horses. and also lines may be smashwords moving forward from the chutes shield lines quickly to be people back in the main chain up shield line moves forward but the aim of the exercise is to start a stay together as a team not allow individual officers to be picked off. and i think are either that situation wasn't well managed or it do degenerated rapidly and out of control that situation was not a situation you would have full against the the police there are a lot of bad press a lot of people saying that's going to open the doors now for further violence from the police do you think this will be treated as a one off mistake no more live rounds or do you think we could see it again. sadly i don't think that will happen at all i think it will be seen as an escalation on both sides because we've seen the protests slowly rising over the

last few months as the protests the umbrella protests and social work in the yellow vests have steadily become more and more violent. attacking property setting fire to things and today we saw what was really a full scale riot with premises being set so far especially the tube stations but also very cause and petrol bombs being thrown at police so it's degenerated into a. and we're faced with the police of only got 2 opportunities they meet force with sufficient force to quell it or drive it back or they walk away and they can't do our work without being criticized. the police are going to hold the line as best they can and unfortunately that means whatever force is used against them if appeals for people to stop and disperse aren't met then i'm afraid the only option for any police service anywhere in the world is to meet force with force if that's

the nature of the protest this isn't just people carrying placards around this is people attacking police lines attacking and destroying property and no police service anywhere in the world can allow that to happen and it's just a question of what tactics you use to do that. and i wanted to just touch from what you what you said that you part partly answered it but do you think that the police get the understanding of the public that perhaps they deserve because in the end of the day they're members of the public themselves they're human beings and they're in a what seems like a really difficult situation where when confronted with violence they're expected to play merely a passive role a defensive role which must must be an extremely difficult thing for anybody to do . it is and with the best will in the world and the best training in the world. if you get in a situation where you are scared for your life then it's really difficult to act in a controlled and you know moderate manner you will literally for fear life and. are

i wouldn't be in there in those circumstances before but i've certainly had those feelings on occasion and you do want 7 whatever is necessary and sometimes what's available. you know i'm talking about a much lower level of force but if you're wrestling on the ground with somebody who's hitting you know you know is an opportunity to use your batson on them you know you're not supposed to hit the head but if that's the only be concerned he yet because you want to stop it and so you scale up to this level of force and that's what you're going to be getting if people are scared for their lives and like i said no amount of training and no amount of experience is going to remove that as for the public been understanding our can only really speak for the u.k. i don't know what the public of thinking about this in hong kong. but in the u.k. they most definitely splits 2 ways the critics the media the politicians will be hyper critical and they'll expect miracles of police officers and will not be at all understanding for an error of judgment let alone any sort of deliberate

excessive use of force and we see police officers prosecutors and ns a dismissed for want of relatively minor errors of judgment and we just had recently very close to where i live an officer gets involved in a fight situation where as a arrest is resisted in a town center not just a bit drunkenness. somewhere along the line a complaint is made to excessive force was used by officers being convicted of common assault. a common assault no injury cost so a very minor level or so an error of judgment going a little bit too far from what the law would allow that course is decided is excessive and is convicted and i've just been sacked by the metropolitan place and their careers come to an end and we've seen those things in protest situations as well the coast tend to be a little bit more understanding there for the public and the critics now most definitely not they expect miracles and they don't understand the stresses and

strains of placing and to be honest some of the critics don't even treat police officers as human beings peter really appreciate the context you've given is there to the situation in hong kong for a police officer a commentator on policing issues peter thank you. u.s. democratic presidential candidate joe biden's campaign team is demanded major t.v. networks bandung terms personal lawyer from appearing on the shows the ledge is rudy giuliani spreading damaging false it's about biden the claim being it's on the behalf of the u.s. president on the scale of. 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. 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 guess 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 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. 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 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 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 not 11 i think everybody has the right to be there if you. press when you new. 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. you could government has been forced to deny claims that it will push for reform of border between northern ireland on the republic of ireland after briggs it the proposal is reportedly part of london's latest to go she actions with brussels which have been leaked to the media in the documents number 10 is claimed to have proposed a string of customs posts along both sons of the border is an alternative to an actual physical border and though the measure would be the introduction of a simplified customs declaration process london is said to remain adamant northern ireland should not be part of the customs union. and a rebuke from. boris johnson insists checks will have to be in place whatever the outcome of briggs it. that's just the reality and i think that what we're coming up to now is as it were the critical moment to choice when i when the u.k.

withdraws from the e.u. that must be the state of affairs that we have. and scared about as professor of international history at the london school of economics believes that johnson is being cryptic on purpose about his bags of plants displaying his cards very close this mystery surrounding not only the proposals for a deal but also mr concerning what will happen of the isn't going to be a deal and who will get out and not signing not not asking for an extension on the 31st of october of there isn't a deal he says he won't he druther with then the detention under no circumstances would he ask for an extension that apparently will break the surrender of bill the ben bill and would be illegal but you know the rumor is go where on that. i'm afraid boris's leaving things the last minute as far as communicating his

intentions are there to the british public or indeed to the e.u. . meanwhile a brags that party m.e.p. has taken a leaf out of the book of the famous teen environmentalist quote in the by evoking one of her more notable speeches to attack and he brags it terence. this is the room i should be built i should be back at my smoke house on the other side of london. you have stolen my dreams might i. point out though. with your empty words how dare you. this is so wrong. i shouldn't be up here. i should be back in school

on the other side of the ocean you've still got my dreams my childhood what you want and seabirds we can talk about money you can reduce his term economic growth how did you. oh for goodness sake something seriously wrong when you have to attack a child in this way. when people on the right try to claim to have a sense of humor and can do. bring this out as definite proof that they are wrong. these these what passes for brilliance in the regs at fault. men taking them out of a teenager mocking what they fear she's really got under your skin hasn't she.

all the 200 migrants have reportedly landed on the telly unsure over the weekend as the country embraces a post solving any era recently lifted the former interior minister controversial rescue boats reaching italian ports on a shell of david ski 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 other boats full of people also landed on lampedusa the island for years has been the front line of italy's migration courses. and.

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 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 us how we need close the ports that dropped to a little over 23000 many had hoped that the end forcing sites now that seems to be fading and i think there has already been a new immigration pick this is the new beginning of the migration from producer.

i'm very worried to boost i'm especially worried but all the small boats that are landing i would not want the situation as it was and 2011. i hope that suddenly my feet turn to the government so that he might feel is too. 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. want to leave and we are not able to do. and it's very a locket with. its own. soul.

for. 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 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. i say they do nothing at all everyone thinks about themselves what if you would like to trusts birdseye do not because everyone has their own interests in europe germany looks after its own interest from stowe's to. i believe you rip looks more

to tell me interests than to those of a single country and 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 continues to face as a result of migration that's already taking place 6 countries have already reimposed a 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 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 this move comes after another

spate of incidents on the island of lesbos which houses one of greece's most overcrowded migrant camps on sunday a group of migrants there started a fire that killed at least one person and incident also feel mass riots and violent clashes with the police for teacher complete to go on less power a phony believes that the e.u. lacks a long term strategy to deal with the issue. europe doesn't have a competence in handling. flows so european union can just stop cause what it called the values of the european union with sharp basically the human rights and all what is connected to it. this is something which goes into the moral and. moral rules more than the strictly legal ones so that is a divide in europe between the civil law which should be handling this kind of cases the religious rules and the moral rules these 3 axes to

come together to to become a policy and therefore 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. thank you stay with your other but with more in half an hour. join me every 1st week on the alex i'm unsure and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics. i'm sure. i'll see you.
