team coverage have used chief political correspondent linda crane is in beijing and correspondent mathias bolen ger is in hong kong for us melinda i'll begin with you because these were extraordinary briac sion from the chinese how is the german government responding to beijing's harshest harsh criticism of the long visit the foreign ministry rejected the criticism saying on tuesday that it was perfectly normal procedure for a foreign minister to meet with members of civil society and yesterday in her speech to parliament we heard a very clear statement from chancellor angela merkel saying that she had used her recent visit last week to beijing to tell the government that the german that germany views human rights as absolutely indispensable and she said we still stand by the principle one country 2 systems on the other hand there is also a certain degree of caution here in berlin the chancellor spokesman has emphasized that she herself did not meet with joshua wang and that meeting with the foreign minister actually took place on the margins of a private reception by a german newspaper t

that it's going to go in hong kong for us thank you so much mathias. protect our planet that's the clear message from young climate change activists who gathered at the united nations a day after the biggest mass demonstration we've ever seen the youth leaders criticize older generations for doing too little to prevent global warming and they now want a greater role in decision making. yesterday millions of people across the globe. marched and demand does real climate action especially young people. we show that we we are united and that we young people are unstoppable that's the message from gretta simberg at the un youth summit in new york on the back of the world's largest ever climate protest on friday organized by friday's for future a movement she founded in response the head of the un admitted that runaway climate change poses an existential threat to the human race i have granddaughters i want my granddaughters to live in the life of planet my generation there's a huge responsibility it is your generation that must make us be accountable to mak

visit we have our chief political editor michelle or krisna with us and our beijing correspondent mathias building a good to have you both with us here in our studio we said let's start with you here because hong kong protesters are calling for the chancellor's clear and on equivocal support to can they count on it but they didn't quite get in the statement that we saw so far but they certainly need a message of standing up for guaranteed rights did resonate with the german chancellor let's just have a quick listen to what she had to say. one starts one country 2 systems is the basic principle and based on that we have an agreement signed by china and the u.k. in 1984 and the hong kong basic law guarantees the freedom and rights of hong kong citizens. during the meeting i pointed out that the freedom and rights of hong kong citizens should be guaranteed and the agreement in 1904 should still be valid under the current situation we should do the utmost to avoid violence. and this very much is the narrative that we've seen so far from the german charts and reminding china of its own commitm

mathias why is china so upset about this visit. the protests are no entering their 4th month and beijing is extremely nervous about what is happening here all their attempts to suppress all to pacify the movement have not worked so far if anything the protests have only escalated so these protests are probably going to overshadow the celebrations of the 70th anniversary off the people's republic of china that the government in beijing wants to celebrate with a big parade on october 1st so this is something they're very concerned about they're very concerned about losing control of this city and the other thing is that they have been trying to suppress voices that they do not want to hear abroad and they have been putting pressure on foreign governments who meet with criticize critics of the chinese government for many years know in 2005 the dalai lama on beijing has responded with diplomatic and i believe economic measures to make clear that they do not want to meet the dalai lama and this has worked he has not met the dalai lama e

is at a mall and i want to ask you mathias to start off give us a sense of what's been going on where you are. right now the tensions are rising in here because police seems to have group down there there is a subway station just connected to the mall and they are assembling them everybody's now waiting what's happening before protests have been going on the usual chanting and chanting slogans and singing songs protest songs people have several actions they have folded paper swarms society i hope these as they say and they have also been targeting several businesses that they accuse of being pro china for example by taking. reservations these reservations can i hanging them up. as ribbons crossed the small then somebody stole him out with a chinese flag. or trampling on it running out of it and dumping it in a lake nearby so it's been quite a bit of action but so far peaceful action this mall has a special meaning to the protest because in this mall some weeks ago protesters flat from the street when the police were attacking and police chased them inside the mall since then they have

have charged around $150.00 of them with various offenses and their trials are due to begin soon as mathias bollinger reports some of those charged face lengthy prison sentences to shorten your hong kong legislature has been a hot spot of the anti-government protests daniel chan has spent a lot of time here but that could change soon daniel not his real name was arrested and charged with rioting in july he faces up to 10 years behind bars. the moment i was arrested i was very calm i was thinking about what i needed to do in the situation but when i was told what the charges were it felt like i was entering another world. hong kong has some of the most draconian assembly laws in the world some of them have rarely been applied until now but since the protests began authorities have brought the full force of these laws to bear daniel denies having been involved in any violence. like too much of a coward to get into fighting i don't want to be beaten i also don't want to stand there and do nothing so i went to the front line and to help those who were tear gassed and i helped them wash their ey

and for more on that i'm joined by journalist mathias berlinger in hong kong that is what's the situation now where you are at. well there were clashes earlier in a suburb called don't moan there was a march that was approved by the police on appeal by the fire organizers but quickly scuffles between the police and protesters broke out with protesters calling the police mafia and the police warning them of any further escalation he said this escalation then came when both sides were facing each other over barricades the protesters throwing about 5 fire bombs at least that's what i've seen in the direction of the police and the police firing at them with tear gas and we've also seen rubber bullets and other non-lethal ammunition this lasted very shortly this was over quickly then a few arrests were made i have seen 31 of them was a paramedic working on the protesters side and now as you can see people the roads around this area are blocked it's extremely difficult now to get out there is a long traffic jam on the road out of this town in the new territories of hong kong we understand there

but it is in hong kong and joins us now from ohio mathias good to see you so people are back on the streets in the numbers what's happening now way way you walk. well people have gathered around the government headquarters and the parliament the legislature there have been dispersed with tear gas. water cannons from there and then they're now they're moving around the city just a moment ago there were a lot of protesters here now they've moved to other streets and they're really regrouping over there as you can see so everybody is on the move the protesters in the streets of hong kong and the police behind. the at the protests were initially triggered by an extradition bill that has since been withdrawn why are people still taking to the streets why are they still protesting if this withdrawal had come in the very beginning after the 1st mosque demonstrations then probably everything would have ended soon but since these protests have begun so much anger has built up anger mostly at the police force that has been using tear gas and rubber bullets and protestors and many hong kong a c. has e

let's cross over to correspondent mathias he's at the mall outside it where protests have been taking place mathias as i ask you the 1st question i want viewers to know that there's a little bit of the delay between the 2 locations give us a sense of what's going on where you are. while protesters have protested inside the mall for some time they have at the beginning been very peaceful and have had several actions against again some businesses taking away tickets or is of asian tickets from restaurants and hanging them as ribbons then police was a riving and gathering in a nearby station that has led protesters to escalate their actions they have been damaging some of the interior of the mall and setting up a very kid or making the floor slippery with water from fire hoses so the police could not enter then they left and now they are facing off with the police outside they have set bereket on fire over there and they have and the police has advanced they have been warning off tear gas so the playbook we're seeing is pretty much the same as always for it goes for some time it goes pea

for more on this let's bring in mathias fun hire who is part of investigative team and following this story for us mathias we saw the story of leonora there just give us the broader perspective how many former i asked members are still being held in northern serious prison camps and who exactly is holding them. as far as we know there are about 60 men roughly 60 women and more than 120 children being held in northern syria and the people holding them are could authorities. syrian democratic forces who fought isis together with a united states and international coalition to fight isis. they they say captured them and their holes and camps in northern syria mainly the whole camp where about 75000 people are living under very under very bad conditions who military and was when it comes to food water sanitation and probably want to so force leon our father i mean clearly he wants her back in germany but are germany and other nations obliged to take their citizens back even after they joined a terrorist organization such as the so-called islamic state. that's a matter of great dispute the

still go so deterrence is definitely not a strategy to end these protests what are the prospects mathias that daniel chan and others will actually have to stand trial and if they do can they expect a fair trial. well the courts in hong kong are still the judges us to pretty independent the prosecution is under the department of justice so political abuse of the prosecution is much more likely then of the judges. whether they can be convicted of rioting stands at question here because they say the judge the courts or the prosecution would need to prove that they had an intention to use violence and this is something that many experts here think is not easy to prove and we might not see all of these people convicted however of course once the procedure is in court there is a risk of being convicted and this is obviously what was intended since the controversial extradition law was withdrawn the protesters have focused on their demands for democratic reforms in hong kong do they have any prospects of actually pushing those demands through against the will of mainland china. the interesting

pressure on foreign governments is mounting not to meet with him not to give his criticism a platform mathias you know what about this direct response from beijing that there could be consequences for ties between china and germany what could that mean. well it starts with diplomatic responses german deployments would not get appointments with senior officials or would hard to get to a point that the senior officials not be. to some events diplomatic events celebrations at cetera and it could go further sanctions on german companies or inspections that german companies suddenly face economic threats and in the end there could also be a boy caught it has happened before north korea japan they all have experienced boycotts by the chinese public incited by the government on their companies however china at this moment needs germany in this critical period of the trade war with the united states and it is not likely that will escalate to the maximum at this moment but some at least diplomatic sanctions are probably going to be felt in the next few months all right our correspondents munda crane a
