this headline story hong kong government activists the territories justice minister in london. 2 teenagers are dead 3 others injured following school shooting. occurred on the very morning the suspect turned 16. child abuse in the u.k.

. with many saying political correctness is becoming a barrier to protecting. children. one minutes past 6 pm here in moscow this friday november 15th the weekend's fast approaching and so was our top story. following months of protests fallout from the arm rests in hong kong is now being felt much further afield for the 1st time since anti-government demonstrations began the chinese territory. to hong kong official who was visiting london. oh god. well the video that we just saw shows hong kong's justice secretary to resign chang

who was actually at the time in the u.k. giving a speech about successful dispute resolution how she was targeted by dozens of protesters who pretty much mobbed her as she left the car now the activists were yelling murderer and they also chased her down the street to put it show of the incidents the one that we just saw shows a chain being swamped and screamed ad and at some point she was even pushed to the ground and she injured her arm and she was taken to hospital by ambulance for treatment now an interesting detail is that hong kong's justice secretary kerry's the chain is actually quite a key figure in the drafting of now with drone acts tradition bill that sparked all the protests and the 1st place now china has of course already commented on this incident with hong kong justice secretary the ball into moves perpetrators who

organized on one communication committed the fragrance assault on the senior official of the poem called special administrative region it has once again proved that the rule intention is to destabilize hong kong now the taking such violence abroad went into the u.k. that action deserves to be condemned not always by the entire chinese people including the hong kong compatriots but also by the british public and the international community unanimously there was a very formal response to this violent incidents from the u.k. police and woman was taken to hospital by london ambulance service suffering an injury to her arm inquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances that has been norris at this stage one of the constant. we've seen since the protests broke out in the hong kong the protesters themselves the clearing strenuously that there are protests are peaceful but yet we've been seeing them. lots of blockades

can we bring in the kind of difference what's happening there well they do not seem to be asked species will as they claim to be called has been crippled by protests since march but practically all over the place the media continues to call them peaceful however they have been seen to be quite familiar with medieval style weaponry they're even building watchtowers and even using catapults to found off police for instance the daily mail put and it's had lined the story of how protesters are using an empty swimming pools to tast patra bombs so it does seem that the mainstream media in general is not criticizing the methods that they're using but more somehow sort of romantic their struggle while the protesters transform hong kong university is into a weapons factories and arm themselves with the patch rolled bombs and the media is

still impressed but what they call novel methods of taking on ride police so it does seem that the coverage has focusing so far very little on the danger posed to those caught in the cross-fire. the. what we heard from showing. professor benjamin who believes there is a clear bias in the coverage of the protests outside that you don't worry too much about long as collation. and the violence there matches the local violence of some

of the protests or police just to come pressure because the protesters. the more i was such a point to hunger along it's really hard to con think about it but i have no doubt the general public is hugely unsatisfied with the protest right now there is no effective way to unite their policy against the protesters you see what. this bastard media covering the story i think it gets the post and it often but the media only china needs. to come because. the civil rights and peace process. shooting of a high school in suburban los angeles left 2 teenagers dead on 3 others injured the

gunfire began another around 7 30 am local time on thursday the suspect who shot himself in the head on the is not expected to survive his injuries is under police custody in hospital he had just turned 16 on the morning of the incident. it was one and then 4 quick ones since then and then bang bang bang bang. it was almost as if it were to happen at like a brunch or lunch but there is less people but like people were just waiting for their classes sorry. i just heard a lot of kids crying we were were never really thought this would happen now with school.

she burst out crying like crazy but i felt better because i knew the danger was gone i just pointed the whole time until i heard her or him again and she was ok. meanwhile a wide ranging report by u.s. intelligence say is that many school shootings during the last decade could have been prevented recommendations in the document will be used in training sessions for schools across the country however u.s. democrats oppose the idea of drills saying they could traumatize children. my son's school is holding for active shooter drills this year the only clear impact of these drills is stress anxiety and confusion on the part of children and families i would end the drills on make them optional that our kids learn the right things active shooter drills are traumatizing

a generation of american children you are not expressing the urgency of ending trauma. that our kids are exposed to every single day as they go through these drills in every single school in this country is this being to me well here's the facts more than 4000000 students underwent a lockdown or drill out their school in the 201718 school year that included more than a 1000000 aged between $4.11 while thousands of even younger children also have the same experience while the number of school shootings in the united states has been overwhelmingly high more than 250 since the infamous colombine high school massacre in 1909 in which 13 people died some more truly eye opening figures here recent research suggests that the majority of american teenagers are actively worried

about the possibility of a shooting up their school here's what people meanwhile in new york think about going to training for schoolchildren. it does take sight the little ones and then they can't focus or concentrate and they're just too nervous just living so you know it's something that we share with them at home you know make them aware but don't just drive them nuts and school unfortunately it's necessary my girlfriend didn't seem to be truck traumatized by it i think there should. be remembered atom bomb drills we don't do those and it's the same thing i think it's the reality we're facing today and fortunately i grew up doing 2 little drools and my kids are growing up doing lots of should address i think life could be traumatic for kids you know but without a doubt i think that's why parents and teachers and psychologists a psychologist to be involved in doing this well we saw it further reaction illness from iraq war veteran sergio. psychology expert 1st. i don't think there's

anything wrong with doing periodic drills i think the danger is when you have children who are away from their parents maybe for the 1st time in their lives young children who are impressionable some of whom have maybe been through some sort of traumatic experience in their life and you put them through an active shooter situation that's where the danger comes in especially to a particularly young child who is particularly vulnerable to such a traumatic suggestion when you get up into the high school age in the college age i think you have a less impressionable brain someone who is mentally perhaps a little more prepared to distinguish you know reality from something that we're rehearsing are preparing for but with younger children i think it's particularly dangerous it's totally insane actually see you do that kind of stuff and they might if it's got a it's kind of saying during the cold war they should of dropped bombs or they should've exploded ammunitions next to schools to make sure that kids get

underneath the tables to get ready for a nuclear. or time it's creating a culture of fear where you basically indoctrinating kids to be afraid of everything creates a normalization of these behaviors which is stressed which is nervousness which is exactly it is. ok a story that is just starting to get widespread acknowledgement in britain the number of children in the u.k. you know to have suffered abuse link to which kroft is rising according to local government figures but since most of those who practice it come from abroad the british government is being accused of turning a blind over fears it could face like you say sions of racism or t. shirt the edwards dusty takes up the story. hidden under the guise of religion faith and belief witchcraft is an ever increasing threat in child abuse cases in

britain the number of such incidents has risen by more than a 3rd in just 2 years as local council say they are housing the equivalent of 38 cases every single week the shocking research released by the u.k.'s local government association also highlights f.p.m. or female genital mutilation it puts numbers at a record high with 1000 children having already been abused or at risk of it in the last year while it's more common incessant african communities the u.k. did have its 1st conviction for f.d.m. back in february. despite that life threatening and dangerous practices like f.d.m.

part as many as $60000.00 girls at risk every year there's a misconception though that the ancient custom of f.p.m. is a religious one even though it originated some 2500 years ago meaning it predates both islam and christianity and is not mentioned in any holy scriptures nor indorsed by religious leaders but the cultural often described as a barbaric tradition mainly occurring in africa isn't being fought as it perhaps should be as experts say there's a fear of being called racist i'm so angered by these figures for so long the political power that black people have has been dismissed people are scared to tackle s.g.m. and witchcraft is this scared of being accused of racism but it's racist to ignore it it's more races to look away it really hurts that we still have to tell people the black kids need protecting following the 1st f g m conviction earlier this year more measures have been put in place to help put an end to the epidemic of abuse including extra guidance for prosecutors and police down to cultural practices it's

down to only all ages and he's damned political correctness on want to know when a feminist song on this issue there is not enough we need speak up about this and it's because when women like me speak out we are all told we are racist and he has to stop that's why you have the political correctness has got to go where we each is like a cancer and he stops people from breaking the silence we need more words we need strong words we need government and politicians and prime ministers to stand up and say this anyway. anybody who was involved in this practice if there was even remotely suspicion children need to be looked at medically but not doesn't happen either for so long abuses like f.p.m. have been hidden doused in stick where and to but it seems like corning atop the

water is maybe the only way to protect vulnerable children. in the program the ousted president of bolivia who fled to mexico speaks about hopes of making a return to his homeland that's after the break. when else seemed wrong. wrong just don't. let me. get to shape out just the attic. and in detroit. the trail. went on many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. what politicians do. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected.

so when you want to be president. some want to. have to go right to the press this is what the korean people. interested in the why. are you. speaking from mexico bolivia's us that president evo morales say's he wants to return to his homeland as soon as possible and pus if i the nation that's while the country reels in political chaos with royal supporters protesting what they are labeling a coup. correspondent francisco covering events in the nation's capital. thousands

of people are protesting against what they believe is a coup they gathered here in the center of la but they came here from one of the bastions of ever more honest broadcasters do not recognize the self-proclaimed acting president and yes 2nd they want to restore constitutional order and finally they want to gain respect to military commanders the interim government said that the country's problem in the rigging of election results on october 20th and then ever resign thereby creating a very difficult situation an arche which they took advantage of i'm not evil morale has fled to mexico along with many of his party members he was forced to step down on monday after weeks of violence triggered by claims that last month's election victory was rigged. vandalism soon followed and some of his supporters say they live. the fear for their lives rather himself bolivia needs help from abroad to restore his. well i have plenty of

confidence in the united nations we have had extensive talks with u.n. secretary general antonio good tears and he has a lot of social conscience plenty of commitment to the poor he should be the mediator not just the facilitator in the institution perhaps accompanied by the catholic church under pope francis is needed and we should add to. it when we buy low and so far the bolivian assembly hasn't approved or rejected my resignation they haven't approved or rejected it and i can say that i'm still the president the moment they approve my resignation than i am no longer the president is with here. we must recover democracy with the loss of nations and. we must pacify and then it's not unusual. to believe we will do this with bullets. former protests in germany show no signs of relenting the latest event seeing the 7

humbert to vent their anger at the government's new cultural policies traffic was brought to a halt as the city played host to a conference of the country's federal and regional environment ministers who are discussing among other things imposing restrictions on the use of pesticides many farmers say the new stricter regulations will stifle the sector among the measures that have provoked i prior a bomb and some pesticides on regulations to protect russian water from nitrates artes of i was with the farmers convoy that said i for one burg. it is early and the morning that they should be working on their lands but instead of these german farmers have hopped on their tractors and will be rolling into amber to make a big point. as

the country's regional and environmental ministers are meeting here in hamburg the farmers want to make it clear that the shifting balance between ecology and arkie culture is putting them out of business the ever tightening and national regulations on the use of chemicals from wheat killers and fertilizers to roots now we've become from the german government is so hard for us that we cannot drag on our farms we cannot have baked good crops cannot have followed or for that for the berries. at the root of their rigorous restrictions is the protection of wildlife and habitat the farmers agree that looking after nature is the core to the job but what infuriates them more is how they were shut out of the conversation of how to go about implementing fundamental changes in their life would offer them

this today we are staying here and spending a shoulder to shoulder minister environment here in germany and we invited here to come here but she is staying in and she don't speak to us and we needs a communication that's good support lemus the biggest problem is that the politicians don't talk to those who would like to have a dialogue with them and participate in the decision making processes and that's what we're here cool to be hurt. the government insists that germany's farmers are not a bad no i expect something from farmers yes they do and that is change but i don't do some of them supports in them financially but i must not want to see is that we together with our european partners i'm directly my husband is an instrument to see more in small and medium sized triumphs on this is a very important and signal and informative and they have certain insurance and gains fluctuations but the german government is under pressure itself by the european commission over its sluggish and environmental protection record there is

even the prospect of huge fines and legal actions if they do not do more having tried time and again to quietly highlight their problems germany's farmers are now having to be more tough with ever public protests while they might be outflanked by the increasingly influential green lobby and the e.u. pushing the government for more reforms they're determined not to lead generations of farming families watch in the process evangelists obsess for artsy. fears over what the future might hold and how to safeguard against any eventuality has. seen this survivalist industry flourish in the us today on our t.v. we have a feature length reports armageddon ready which looks at the growing demand for so-called doomsday shelters in america you can also watch it anytime online on our website are called. what you are supposed to do when you receive a flash. we are sitting in front of
