8:02 am
opposition candidate swept up in 90 percent of district council seats the win is largely symbolic because consulates deal mostly with local issues and have little political leverage but they do have some say in choosing hong kong's leader now after a brief election lull the protests resumed in hong kong people as police to go easy on the dozens of protesters who barricaded themselves in the polytechnic university campus they have been there now 9 days following pitched battles with officers the weekend came 6 months into a violent beijing protest campaign which some u.s. politicians described as a response to for it kerry and pressure. the last few years beijing use increased its interventions in hong kong and engaged in actions to curtail the rights. the liberties. of its people we can see trying
8:03 am
to dream trampling the most basic human rights of its own citizens. or just bear those comments in mind because in bolivia a similar violent unrest in the tough government response has been described by the us as a democratic transition that's despite the self-appointed right wing leaders having been accused of sustain their abuses against protesters saskia taylor brick started washington's approach no to both hong kong underlip here. sticks stones on row can bones amidst the increasing violence hong kong took the weekend off to head to the polls and the results were overwhelming a landslide victory for those who have made it their mission to wrest themselves from beijing's grip of victory apparently not just for the city but for the whole walled those despots in china have finally been put in that place communist china should take a close look and reconsider their current posture or turn to me in human rights belong to hong kong the monumental defeat of bric communist china lawmakers sends

a powerful message to beijing keep your 30 terran regime on the mainland so they say beijing needs to keep its authority tarion tendencies out of hong kong others the same tendencies that saw an armed policeman industriously tidying up rubbish after another night of flames and fury over the ones that saw almost $3000000.00 people free meat cost votes and what was a rat court time out of over 71 percent or maybe those that led both the chinese and hong kong authorities to gracefully accept defeat the government will listen to the opinions of members of the public come billy and seriously reflect and of irish of no shoes no matter what happens is a part of china junction which leaves previous accusations of. beijing's disregard for its people's freedom the chinese government should respect their right to speak
8:05 am
out somewhat knol unfortunate but when you've got a beer in your bonnet about a rising power that's set to eclipse you both economically and technologically perhaps it doesn't really matter but what is happening in hong kong is the. worst particularly all the united states to smear this commitment china and the reason this with china is 16 x. 3 with success will go. down in the corporate world whatever each other those are diversity in today with china beat all the economic growth and this was seen all of the same show the great war or that it really started china sea or hong kong the situation over 19000 kilometers away bolivia has been restless too and there's also been some significant shuffling of power.
8:06 am
was. offering himself up as political sacrifice in a bid to calm the protests the democratically elected president evo morales stepped down and fled pass rising from obscurity to fill the void came to me and i knew as a 52 year old lawyer and senator whose name didn't really ring any bells even and bolivia why would it they didn't vote for her in fact no one voted for her she came to power because the street people who constitutionally have the right to take the reins that is the president the vice president and the head of the senate. that one forced to move on out and what many are describing as a coup but apparently to some that's just minute detail we call on all bolivians to
8:07 am
support the bolivian transitional government as a god's the democratic transition through electoral reforms and to a new free and fair elections as soon as possible and as the west praises bolivia for throwing off its socialist chuckles and turning its face towards the democratic sun let's see how that liberty is shaping up. and. it seems that when the shoe fits all thora tarion as
8:08 am
a man democracy can actually be used interchangeably and there is a dog with a principle ration between bolivia and home god god will be gone soon hong kong mainly rioters are a guy could believe this during the public property and they are being supported by their worst it believe they are dying trying to get dying for democracy they are being smeared the situation is big on that reported and actually. the ribs so. government. is hailed as a government which is trying to reach peaceful solution of the well between 2 sides . let's turn attention to the u.k. where persons have been from protests. equality classes being taught at a primary school in the city of birmingham this after
8:09 am
a court dismissed concerns that the lessons were inappropriate for young children and exclusion zones no been set up around the school let's go live now to shelby edwards dusty on the program who's been following the story for us shelby this started off as a very local campaign though it soon reached global prominence bricked own this ruling for us. well this has been a case for quite some time now concerning parents who fundamentally disagree with l g b t lessons being taught in schools and of course those teaching them now after months and months of uproar and protests from petitions we've seen now today the high court ruling a ban on protests outside the school and. they have suggested the school is promoting homosexuality when it is not parents misunderstood and misrepresented to it is being taught in the school. now the school in question has seen many many protests have been quite noisy outside the school gates by anti l.g.
8:10 am
bt campaigners they're arguing their kids are being exposed to a wider where array of everything can anything from gay sex to masturbation and even paedophilia now that's something that the judge today ruled as completely untrue but of course that anger has been simmering for quite some time now where we've seen the peak of protests hitting the number of 300 the issue is there was an interim ban on the protests because there were safety concerns particularly because many of those involved in the protests had no connection with the school whatsoever however it's not just this cool in question and we've seen many other protests at other schools where many parents particularly from the muslim. a saying they go against their religious beliefs. is not for me a period for the reception kids. want to homosexuals to learn about to old age not right now because if you get your parents teach your kids to stick with boys and
8:11 am
boys who. think this was a flower to leave you with a like you equality act obviously clearly says you can't discriminate against religion and whatnot and that's what they're doing it's 99 percent muslim it's not about the muslim but the jewish community the other communities the christian communities they're all have issues around the way things have been going so what's making these parents so angry well the no outsiders programs is the cause of concern and it involves discussing diverse relationships saying it's ok to be gay and showing same sex couples that they do exist now these programs uses children's books that looks into kids maybe having 2 moms or 2 dads and also fairytale love stories between a king and another king but many parents say this is a step too far and their children are far too young to be exposed to all of this and as a result have even taken their children out of these schools but today this ban on
8:12 am
protests for many parents will be seen as a gangs their right of freedom of expression but for the teaches it's seen as a step in the right direction for diversity and inclusion so as you can see it seems like the debate is far from over or i thanks very much for the others does she live from the u.k. this. other long time friends living on ocean apart but are the germans on the americans what they think about their relationship with each other right now you'll get very different answers a major poll out this choose that suggests that while a majority of people in the us think everything's a ok barely a 3rd of germans think the same one of the issues their size. part on 5 g. mobile infrastructure the center of the road chinese communications giant weiwei a world leader in the tech drives it's about playing a washington lead boy called over claims of buck door spying for beijing but the
8:13 am
german economy minister says not some for pointing out that american firms were knowledge sidelined during the notorious n.s.a. snooping scandal a comparison that's not gone down well stateside as of angelo sepsis explains while away a thorn in the side of the e.u. u.s. relations since the beginning of the year the chinese tech giant has triggered a global power play over the role though of its 5 g. network washington once it out of the european markets and after some heavy influencing sometimes not so friendly pressure and the spice agha germany's economic minister has added fuel to the fire by saying there is no reason to boycott while we. beg then in the n.s.a. affair we imposed no boycott the u.s. also requires from its companies that they provide certain information which is necessary to fight terrorism peter altmire also mentioned that there is no link
8:14 am
between weiwei and the chinese state little did he know though that this statement would come back to bite him not only here in germany but on the other side of the atlantic too it doesn't seem to bother the united states if you call them out for east dropping but compare them to the chinese that is a definite no no the recent statements made by senior german government officials that the united states is comparable to the chinese communist party are the sorts of thousands of american soldiers who hope to ensure germany security as well as to millions of americans committed to a strong western alliance these statements have also offended millions of chinese citizens who are denied fundamental freedoms on a room for the imprisoned by the chinese communist party although meyer claims as words were misinterpreted about us that mark received his stance on while we have changed for years now the united states has been warning its allies about chinese
8:15 am
spying through its tech companies claiming companies like well wait and see t. have the back door open which allows the communist party to go in and collect information america even said no its big guns with mike pence and mike palm pilcher europe warning them about chinese tech threat the united states has also been very clear with our security partners on the threat posed by. another chinese telecom companies the chinese government can rightfully demand access to data flowing through one way and z. visa systems. why would anyone grant such power to regime that has already grossly violated cyberspace but when they're asked the boat evidence they cannot provide any of the other head germany and the us have a little bit of a recent history when it comes to spying after that n.s.a. scandal over the alleged topping of child slayer and kilo merkel's phone even though relations between the 2 countries were a little bit intense in 2013 u.s.
8:16 am
companies were not banned or sanctioned in germany it seems playing the good regime battery card is kind of working out for washington as it tries to distance beijing from the european market apparently some are willing to put morals over facts and comparing the us to china is morally wrong there is no moral equivalence between china and the united states and anyone who claims otherwise ignores history i would never be repeated here p.m.'s should ask themselves who is more likely to be listening on the other side of the line. was for the next stage it looks like the final decision on whether to let weiwei work on germany's find g. network will not be for parliament to decide although chancellor uncle americal wants an open bidding competition including the chinese firm her c.d.u. parties more skeptical than wants better security perimeters thrust out as well. or
8:17 am
is it isn't right that we discuss the question of 5 g. development and the participation of foreign companies and a drastic question a few repeat indeed a sovereign to with confidence we want to build in our own sovereignty and we have a conscious skepticism towards china and the communist regime in china but in the city you are logged also in the you it was a social democrats receive that there are some voices which favor much the transatlantic. exposure all the chinese exposure and this technology. regards this decision. as likely to turn out in favor of the chinese that they can compete was u.s. companies that they are mult excluded by policy decisions 5 g. is the extremely important it will be the standard of the future in the telecommunications and if you want to be long as a country to the 1st year world economically you have to adopt these systems way has really become a very big competitor to u.s.
8:18 am
companies but they even have advantages in comparison to u.s. competitors meanwhile nothing the u.s. tries to fight back russian sports could be facing 4 years in the wilderness after further until the relegation to look at the claims after this break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race is very dramatic. only really. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. the world is driven by shaped by.
8:19 am
the day are. we here to ask. data on a story we're closely following today the international olympic committee has supported tough sanctions on russian authorities who stand accused of manipulating
8:20 am
the data base of moscow's antti doping lob that comes after a committee of the world anti-doping agency recommended a 4 year a ban be applied to russia for all major sporting events the global watchdog claims moscow tampered with some of the doping results back in september. let's bring in our. for more on this what is the latest in the case what exactly did the i.o.c. have to say. you know hello again well 1st of all i have to tell you that this point to the international olympic committee ultimately is not responsible for the final decision however they do have an influence on some of the officials of the world anti-doping agency and they have just come out with a statement where they said that the committee will support the toughest sanctions
8:21 am
against all the responsible authorities for the manipulations with the moscow database however something very important that i would like to point out from their statement is that the international olympic committee believes that at these manipulations with the data is the sole responsibility of the russian authorities they do point out that at the same time the report finds that the sports movement of russia has not been involved in any of this and that the report does not indicate any wrongdoing by the sports movement in this regard in particular the russian olympic committee or its members now let me just explain the background to this and what we got from the world anti-doping agency earlier i can tell you that russia was on track was close to a getting its house in order after the infamous doping scandal and the accusations of state sponsored doping in north or for the russian anti-doping agency the
8:22 am
national one to regain its status to get back international recognition to the russian authorities have to meet several requirements and the most important one was the handover of the moscow anti-doping laborde free database the handover did happen earlier this year there was a certain delay but then the authorities from. the investigators found that. there have been some kind of manipulations some of the elements of this data were either raised all together or modified and as a result of this a group of officials from the world anti-doping agency recommended to the main water decision makers to give russia very strong punishment we do have to remember that during the winter olympic games in south korea russia had to compete
8:23 am
neutral flag they weren't able to be called the russian national team they weren't able to compete as the russian national team so now this could happen again at the summer olympic games in tokyo but the sanctions might not and there because this band could be extended to 4 years and there are other 4 year sanctions including a ban on all russian officials to be present at major sporting events and also possibly a 4 year ban to host any major sporting event in this country so now it all goes down to the severity of this punishment we still don't know what exactly that is going to be because for now that is just the recombination and officials will convene in paris on december 9th when the final decision is going to be made we do understand that under the new rules of the international anti-doping code the
8:24 am
i.o.c. will have to take any decision that is made by the world anti-doping agency yes there could be an appeal at the court of arbitration for sport but this is something that will only happen after the main decision is made we did get some reaction from russian officials to this in particular from the russian most senior diplomats what he said that russia has always been ready to play by the rules it still is but these rules have to be fair and they have to be same for everyone. sure there are some people who want to put russia in the position of a defendant accused of everything in this world that's why we will fight for the necessity you fear dialogue can be that only one or 2 for instance china and russia are guilty of everything and violate everything but the others follow the rules established by themselves without consulting anyone make the governments respect these rules. so you can just once again why this latest i.o.c.
8:25 am
statement is very important they will not be the ones will be making the final decision but certainly they do have an influence on the water executive committee and everything in this international sports community is entered twined as i've said it all goes down to the severity of the punishment but previously we heard from international olympic officials that the athletes that are innocent cannot be stripped of their presumption of innocence and definitely they shouldn't bear the brunt of that kind of punishment if they have nothing to do with this doping scandal the very latest on this story brought to us this hour by hour to go. is our love for the question how do people from one of the hardest working nations on the planet relieve their tensions and tightness you may be surprised by some of the ways. and getting them stress.
8:26 am
ah. ha. what politicians do you suppose you can. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to that's. what you're going to be for us this is what before 3 in the morning can't be good.
8:27 am
