the film's premise is that once a year for 12 hours only crimes are allowed mogs a fact are certain rate you name it you've got a free pass and that because of this small window to release all your rage the country becomes crime free for the other $364.00 days it's a small sacrifice for the wider peace and stability and in scenes eerily similar to the film's opening hong kong apparently had a pudge of its own urgency from the still air vents and you look for the. urgency service is suspended for. a member urged. it's like. ok it was a hoax but it was
1:05 pm
a hoax that actually wasn't that far from the reality of the chaotic mania gripping the streets of hong kong. hong kong had a very dark night because of the extreme acts of the rioters the city's now cemetery lies to everyone is worried her even afraid. shops looted buildings burned the metro disrupted for the fast time in over 20 years shopping centers food shops and banks closed down fearing wolf islands from the vandals a city which was renowned for its efficiency and convenience is now ma it in confusion and disorder the instability has spooked the markets and seen hong kong's retail sales suffer the biggest drop on record and while the city's 1000000 as a packing must suitcases for those who can't just rustle up a 1000000 euros to get a fosse truck residency abroad the options are limited. the old we can go anywhere

we came from mainland china and we didn't know the stations were closed so now we can do is a big problem for public transport is for everyone while the decision to open or close the station cannot be politically it affects everyone's daily life but if you save its traditions which we have for you see trees not many people use the phrase and because of them of those. are 3 we really are friends all the life discourse and care the entire thing anyway so i think that's kind of ridiculous now there are those who will say the film shows scenes of senseless violence while the protesters are engaged in a campaign of peaceful civil disobedience and what of course no image shows the full picture for this undercover police officer who was beaten and with petrol bombs by and incensed mob the line is probably a bit more blood with the lenses of the international media zoomed in on the region there's no shortage of scenes just like this and don't worry if it's
1:07 pm
a slow day but i'm more than willing to lend a helping hand to spice up the show i don't. think you. really. think you like the patch in the film lost 12 hours in hong kong with 17 weeks and counting and as there is on both sides of the power kate's refused to back down a resolution seems far off. so there is no end game that's the infinity war that hong kong people are willing to engage in as businesses are crushed as fires by and of people are forced to pick sides claims that it's all in the name of peace and democracy are increasingly wearing. these protests is no longer

forces to come in and it is a scenario that i can anticipate the rich who happened the short run. offended his decision to withdraw america's troops from northern syria saying washington must put a stop to its quote ridiculous endless wars the white house announced the pullout on sunday night saying it will not be present in the region when turkey conducts a long planned or offensive against the kurdish forces there well let's cross now to new york our forty's caleb maupin for more on this good to see you caleb the kurds i keep us ally of course have. called mr trump's withdrawal a stop in the bank host of the session gunned down in washington. well at this point in northeastern syria we've got american forces urgently packing at this point they are intermingled with u.s.
1:10 pm
backed kurdish militias now turkey has declared that these target kurdish militias are terrorists and they are preparing to basically carry out an offensive against what they consider to be terrorist forces they are amassing troops and tanks at the border and preparing any moment to go in and take action against the kurdish militias now after meeting with the turkish president era one u.s. present donald trump said there is no reason for u.s. personnel to remain in syria this is donald trump the united states who's supposed to be in syria for 30 days that was many years ago we stay to go deeper and deeper into bots who would know him and so we will fight where to our benefit and only fight to win now trump is saying that there is simply no benefit for the united states in turkey now there has been widespread kind of outrage from various figures including many of
1:11 pm
trump's backers about this decision they argue that the usa is essentially hurting its credibility by betraying these kurdish forces that they have backed they they fear that perhaps isis could resurge in the absence of a u.s. military presence there saying the united states must remain in syria these are critics of trumps recent announcement. we must always have the backs of all and if we expect them to have back the currents were instrumental in our successful fight against isis in syria giving them to die is a big mistake. this decision to abandon their kurdish allies and turn syria over to russia iran and turkey will put every radical islamist on steroids shot in the arm to the bad guys demonstrating for the good guys. now as noted these are many of trunks trump's backers and supporters in the republican party foreign policy figures who are critical of his decision but it is important
1:12 pm
to note that donald trump while he is withdrawing u.s. forces that he is laying out some pretty clear red line troops threaten the road seems to be full on. as i have stated strongly before and just to reiterate if turkey does anything that i in my great an unmatched wisdom considered to be off limits i would totally destroy and obliterate the economy of turkey i've done before. now it's difficult to understand whether or not that remark about the economy was intended as a joke or whether it was serious but regardless we have quite an international reaction to trying to move france and germany are essentially begging turkey to reconsider its plans for an invasion to go after the kurdish militias we have russia reminding everyone that both turkey and united states that syria is indeed a sovereign country and that it has territorial integrity furthermore i we've got
1:13 pm
reports that the kurdish forces are now in talks with damascus about the possibility of damascus protecting them from these potential and pending what seems to be a pending turkish invasion to go after them so it's quite a dramatic move but turkey remains silent at this point as it forces are amassing on the border we see troops and tanks amassing on the border that turkey is silent as it appears that there is a pending crackdown over the syrian border against the kurdish forces that they label terrorists yeah again we'll be keeping a very close eye on developments killer thanks very much for bring this right up to date killer blow up and live in new york. ok moving the program 135 people being arrested in central london this monday a 2 week climate protest by extinction rebellion activists got underway the group said it intends to paralyze westminster by blocking rules and transport networks
1:14 pm
and hundreds of people have been chanting themselves to vehicles on protesting outside government departments it's part of a worldwide campaign that's expected to take place in 60 major cities. where protesters have also disrupted traffic and businesses in central. madrid berlin despite 2 authorities mourning. dutch police say they made 50 arrests near a popular tourist attraction. in berlin around the 5 people. traffic around german authorities say they will stop making arrests for the time being in madrid police say 33 activists were taken to their stations on 3 arrested for resisting riots officers 30 activists being apprehended in the street you see that and extinction rebellion has been in the headlines throughout the year with hundreds self activists arrest.
1:15 pm
the types of actions that we want to engage with our disruptive to business as usual but disruptive in a way that is not repellent to observers or outsiders people who may not even consider themselves to be environmentalists or politically active or aware cetera but people who are just. paying attention in the world and understand that we are in a crisis and so they will be attracted are drawn into the spirit of the rebellion there are many ways to get involved. and we don't really place getting arrested above not
1:16 pm
getting arrested well among extinction rebellions key demands are the governments that clearly climate emergency hold the loss of biodiversity and drastically reduce carbon emissions by 2025 and all the knock on effects that that would have from seeing it as a peaceful a violent campaign to potentially holding all the ingredients of an extremist movement here some of the reaction we've been hearing. extinction rebellion is without question britain's fastest growing pagan religion and the reason i refer to as a pagan religion is just as all the classic hallmarks of a group of religious fundamentalists a belief that their view is the only view that's acceptable a desire to shut down everything that does not talk to their worldview they fundamental belief that they are in charge and everybody else also go to their beck and call how do you resolve pollution the result polluted by technological
1:17 pm
advancements the technological advancements the extinction rebellion oppose what this generation seems to be saying is you've messed things up for long enough you're not really listening the only way we can actually get your attention is actually by civil disobedience in the footsteps of mahatma gandhi and martin luther king jr and malcolm x. and rosa parks and people who decided that peaceful nonviolent public protest. displays of public outrage but tamed and controlled don't forget the extinction rebellion and anybody who is involved in political activism or any kind of change agenda they going to use your actions and activities against you look extinction rebellion of demand effects we have returned to the stone age removal of economic progress a commitment to not grow the economy so essentially the british government for example has committed to being 0 carbon by 2050 which i think is nominally said suppose you can't or shouldn't trust all words that come to our service we had our
1:18 pm
city contrast because our numbers in the names become clear every single year if i can see directly into the camera my 11 year old son who was at home with the band hello guys and we had a debate before it came on tonight about does he want to. leave school. take a break for an afternoon or a day to go and protest he was worried about the consequences at age 11 he understands that the climate is suffering and that rapid change is needed we do need to tackle pollution but i will tell you something you regret you reverse the economic advantages that have lifted a 1000000000 people are poverty and you do not make the earth a better place extinction rebellion are lying to you. city of stars seems to have added another to its constellation a homeless woman in los angeles has won hearts there after a policeman found her singing in a subway station her operatic performance went viral and might be about to turn her

massive influx of migrants to the continent. we have to help our european partners even more in patrolling the use external borders we have left them alone for 2 lone if we don't we will once again see a refugee wave like into into 15 maybe even greater than 4 years ago. while the same night that statement was made a boat carrying around 50 migrants capsized in the mediterranean 13 people died in the disaster 22 been rescued by telling authorities and taken to lampedusa the others are still missing since the new government in rome opened its ports to charity rescue vessels the number of arrivals by sea has doubled meanwhile in greece another country at the forefront or 500 migrants have been taken from an overcrowded camp on the island of less balls to the mainland they were then transported to the northern city of thessaloniki the country's authorities are trying to reduce the number of people in the more camp in which this 30 dollars and
1:22 pm
people rather than 3000 it was designed for. more reaction on this statement and indeed the whole situation at large paulo el bernardine professor of early modern european history out its leader in serbia university's live on their program good to see you sir how would you assess horsy hoffer's warning is it likely the e.u. will face a crisis worse than what it went through in 2050. yes it's very like. all the government. the new government you know that the policy of all can bore them all the open border policy is really bad and we saw as the new ones about to the. hot spots in the war. where the courts are open and.
1:23 pm
this will create a long. probably comparable. wars than the one took place in 2015 so i. think. that the law. in a way in hoping that we can stop. all these wars migration has made similar statements before it leads to the question is the doing enough to protect its external borders if not how does it. no grace if you could put the action on. difficult because you can talk about the boredom you talk about this is. so. and.
1:24 pm
engage it in the face. and basically that is left alone and i don't think. insubstantial and. this is according to the i.r.s. . so we are going to win this thing. war. which took place in 2006. do you think it is part of mind to tackle the causes of migration at source perhaps rather than imposing stricter controls along its external border is this one of one of the issues that really has to be dealt with. going from the states where the migrants come from. difficult to identify.
1:25 pm
what we can do we. can really act alone you know. so. we have to influence the politics and. prevent the mind wants from coming from. what we can. post on the. policy so close in the. poll on the ports was a good policy because actually. more government. one of the. monuments of what we are going to witness. a lot of people will die like the boat which capsized. even. though it was and so people die and we're going to do with them as. they were and

there will be no longer any blue so the red sea and the sea oh no that is already taking place means just finally we have about 30 seconds paula we've heard a money well mccrone recently say there are 3 resources to accommodate lots more in europe that's quite a sea change from the french leader do you think this is becoming at increasing view across the continent. i don't think that our sources what come with a the so many mind ones are least as far as i know and that. is because they really need is already difficult to accommodate them i'm going to move we have now in the political and southern doing both equally in the. in the sicilian come. and all. the places where they. normally try to stay there so i don't think
