square massacre on forms social media platforms so even though. they are banned inside china many chinese social media use as they try to get around that they used to get access to these foreign platforms and actually one of the most important for political discussions for chinese uses but then just a few days ago many to use those complained that days a lot among chinese icons that get suspend. later apologized and they said this is just off one off their routine check up but many chinese people don't buy this story regarding the sensitive time and kind of concept reza spent and also actually just last month which was also taken by china so many chinese social media users there fearing that a phone platforms if they cannot even find information of the incident on. the social media editor thank you very much for that information on the 30th anniversary of the cinnamon square massacre not to create who's a new president of all of them is the lenski is making his 1st official visit to broach to brussels a move his team says underscores his commitmen

paying old intrigues to take control of beijing and clear tiananmen square. residents poured out onto the streets to help protesters a wrecked barricades together they set fire to public buses to block the army advance. then in the early hours of june the 4th soldiers began firing into the crowds. charging this again i was just giving a speech on the square as soldiers in the streets behind us drunk started cheering on the room for. us or you were issued. within moments the dreams of an entire generation turned into a nightmare. if you to my left i saw tanks attacking students it really was like a war seems there. for more like a. city like a surrealistic movie. sure at least. the protesters were stunned they'd never anticipated such a minor offense. would have expected the police club where we expect there's some blood shed. we didn't expect that all. life lost one not even a person. in need the bloodshed left beijing reeling. students trying to count the dead estimates vary from several 100 to fountains. function mock up. frankly after what i'd experienced

and certainly when i guess everybody supported us that's what i saw on the square. i don't know when i came home there was a deeply pessimistic atmosphere of freedom to be one of the. you don't you know. on may 18th i'm shopping instructed the government to declare martial law the reformers in the party had lost the young disappeared from public view he spent the rest of his life in the house. was with us yes i prepared for an investigation but what i didn't know was they would investigate me in prison he was detained a week after. another week later tanks and to this was watching from their account . when they started shooting i thought they were shot in the air you were at when people were rushing the wounded on our bikes into the hospitals that's when i understood they were really killing people then the. left the country shortly after he became a publisher of critical books many of them about 1909 there were life for you or me the events of the 1989 are still like an open wound are. well tom was released after 8 years in prison he remains under constant surveill

feet at $2 a square feet to offset what was happening in the other 13,000 square feet. we certainly did not expect the entire building to be leased at $2 a square foot. >> commissioner richards: so you're close to an agreement just putting it out to your neighborhood colleagues? >> we're close to an agreement based only now on the residential building. the p.d.r. has been completely removed from negotiations because the project sponsor removed it from the project. and, you know, that parcel, honestly, could also be used to build affordable housing -- 100% affordable over p.d.r.? and we have asked that to be a possible part of a negotiation, either a donation or selling it at a very low -- you know, low price based on the money that was being offered to, you know -- as another proposal, and that was refused, as well. but that was really only discussed as early as this week, so i don't know if that could possibly go somewhere. >> commissioner richards: thank you very much. project sponsor, one more question, please. what do you intend to do with that other portion that's

by now thousands were camped out on talent square. people in 300 cities. has joined the general strike. the protests were now a national crisis. china's leadership was under pressure and it was divided on how to proceed communist party hardliners wanted to restore order immediately by arresting and jailing the protest leaders they branded as counter-revolutionaries. but moderates advocated a softer line among them young jockey a young political scientist and government advisor he hoped to mediate and calm the situation. surrounding good coach if we tried to find a peaceful solution the party leadership was under immense pressure at 1st i tried to persuade the students to leave the square where they were then i changed my mind for the grounds of the communist party didn't alter its stance or good that i would side with the students and who the what order which is inside the church. on may the head tilts one month after who yonks death. and hundreds of others began a hunger strike. after 5 days the government relented. it agreed to meet a student delegation

we weren't scared when we were on tenement square feet. or so free but when you're running for your life then you're scared scared to death while for the good. in beijing a renowned scientist also feared arrest. finally she was an outspoken dissident who'd had contact with u.s. diplomats but when he arrived at the gates of the u.s. embassy he was the nationally turned away. president george h.w. bush had visited beijing earlier that year and strove to maintain bilateral dialogue even after the massacre nevertheless he granted fang asylum at the u.s. mission. he stayed there for a year until china allowed him to move to the u.s. . yes the deal was negotiated by the us ambassador a former cia operative. china's suspected the cia was smuggling its most wanted dissidents out of the country. at the same time galloper activists in hong kong began organizing the 3rd step of the operation. they needed to find host countries for the rescue dissidents. the lawyer martin was tasked with persuading representatives of various governments to accept the

today in china the tiananmen square is erased. the chinese government has tightened controls and heighten surveillance on human rights advocates and detained social workers and labor rights activists. but we all know that the spirit of tiananmen is alive and well. we know in part because china's leaders demonstrate fear with their security cameras, detention centers and obsession with preventing the people of china from learning the truth. imagine the time and energy and costs of monitoring and tracking the actions of 1.4 billion people. they are scared tause the truth threatens their legitimacy to govern china. in his last statement, bao said, i look forward to the day when my country is the land of freedom expression and the speech of every citizen will be treated equally well where ideas and beliefs and political views can compete with each other and peacefully co-exist and majority and minority views will be guaranteed where the political views that differ from those in power will be fully respected and protected, where all po

and over at trafalgar square. robot version of president trump sitting on the toilet and tweeting. the truth is is that he has tried to close borders with muslim majority countries. he is caging small mexican children. he has grabbed women and boasted about it. he is a sexual predator. he is a racist. as more protesters descend on the capital, things get a little heated. but not too far away, officers are ready to step in. donald trump's state visit is not over yet. leigh milner, bbc news. as you can probably hear, it's getting rather lively at parliament square. i've been told it's the same in trafalgar square. overall, it's been a fairly peaceful protest. protesters have called this the carnival of resistance. with costu mes carnival of resistance. with costumes like this, they've taken the theme rather strongly! we are expecting jeremy corbyn to address that protest. if that happens we will bring it to you before the end of the programme. police in australia say five people have been killed in a shooting in the

coming up on the program it's been 30 years since the student protests on china's tiananmen square and his subsequent government crushing the movement we look back at what happened and why china does its best to censor that part of its history. i'm melissa chan you're watching news asia it's good to have you with us today we take a look at china in the spring of 1989 it was still the time of the cold war the berlin wall would only fall later that year and in may the soviet union leader mikhail gorbachev was visiting communist leaders in beijing that is the reason why we have so much video and photographic evidence of the student protests on tiananmen square that ended in a military crackdown on june 4th because foreign media had been allowed into communist china to cover the scene as soviet summit they stayed for what looked like the beginning of a revolution. it has been 30 years since the crushing of that student movement 30 years since we 1st saw this iconic image estimates of the number killed range from a few 100 to more than 2000. mathias ballinger walks us through the events lea

he's never been back to tiananmen square until now.as a student movement here which shocked the world. but all these tourists must have forgotten. they have no way to find out what happened here because the information is censored. what happened here is still so politically sensitive it's safer to do the interview in the car. it was the moment the communist party almost lost its grip on power, rocked by five weeks of massive, peaceful demonstrations. first, senior officials tried meeting the student leaders, including mr wong. then, late at night on the 3rd ofjune, they sent in the army, killing hundreds, possibly thousands, in the effort to retake the square. the following day there was one final act of defiance. it has become one of the most iconic images of our time, except in china. the vast majority of those we ask say they have never seen it. just over there is the spot tank man stood, although you would never know it. the silence and censorship are now central to the official line. the protests were dealt with, china is today mo

enema square massacre incident you get no results whatsoever. also we get pedia has recently been completely blocked in china earlier it was only that the chinese the chinese language version of it that was blocked now all language versions are blocked in china so this is part of the reason why so many people in china especially young people you know born off in 1809 have no hardly any knowledge about the massacre just because the information isn't available to them what are people doing to get around that censorship so there is quite a few creative ways people are using and many of those examples many creative way bo posts have been archived on instagram by a group of researchers in hong kong. some people use code words to get around these these key words that the government doesn't want you to use other people use they play with pictures that you know versions of the tank photo with lego's or this one for example where. they have shipped out the tanks and replace them with rubber ducks now these these pictures get past the census initially but

again, 10,700 square feet. even if it's not a demolition or even if it is a demolition it appraises out. this commission should have some standards. thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners, corey smith on behalf of the san francisco action housing coalition. it was mentioned about a proposal for memo park that would put a moratorium on office and commercial space. we're still trying to figure out what exactly that is going to develop into but talking with our allies at the housing leadership council and reading the resolution i got to push forward. also attempt to go put a moratorium on any projects that are 100 units or larger and a 100% affordable mid pen project and it's 150 units that is now a giant question mark. i don't think we should be applauding for what they're doing. the other thing they're looking to ban is mixed use. so there will be no opportunities to build residential properties above ground floor retail as we understand it if this is passed as proposed today. i think we're going to start s

can you see millions of chinese faces on tiananmen square? millions. peaceful, fearless, young, full of yearning for freedom. can you see guardians of democracy standing tall in tiananmen? can you see the brave young man with white shirt, two shopping bags in his hand, standing still in front of moving tanks? chinese people want, deserve and demand human rights and freedom, just like american people. just like people in anywhere in the world. the only reason these voices cannot be fully heard is because they are being suppressed by chinese governments. yes, it is a most powerful authoritarian state in the world. the regime is not just domestically oppressive, but is becoming internally aggressive. i would like to end my testimony with a quote from gandhi, a great man from another great civilization. "when i despair, i remember that all through history, the way of truth and the love have always won. there have been terrorists and murderers and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. think of it. always." thank you. >> than

how would the un respond on the anniversary of a human rights atrocity the massacre in tiananmen square does the secretary general have any comments on this very important and of a story short i mean i would remind you of our constant call on security forces in governments not to use excessive force when facing civilian demonstrators a very general answer would no specific mention of china its so i tried again does the secretary general condemn the tiananmen massacre does he condemn the fact that no one was held to account does he condemn the human rights abuses against the weakest dizzee condemn human rights abuses about tibetans yes or no i think the secretary general has addressed and we've addressed those issues. in various briefings we've answered those questions is there not some historic resonance here you are not directly condemning the tiananmen massacre and yet at the same time secretary general is calling for an independent investigation into a massacre that's happened in the last few days are in saddam's double standards no not double standards i think the secretary were com
