A small town in chilling to watch a rare eclipse. China is calling the overnight protests in hong kong a blatant challenge to the one country 2 systems principle under which the territories run its the strongest condemnation from beijing since protesters stormed hong kongs main government building on monday night protesters were angry about an extradition bill which would allow suspects to be tried on the mainland. Those scenes followed a largely peaceful rally through the streets of hong kong around 500000 people attended that march on monday occurred on the 22nd anniversary of hong kongs handover to china from britain hong kongs me there carrie lam condemned the actions of the protesters and stormed the Legislative Council. To extreme use soft violence and vandalism by protesters who stormed into the Legislative Council building over a period of time so this is something that we should seriously come down because nothing is more important than the rule of law in hong kong so i Hope Community at large will agree with us that with these violent acts that we have seen it is right for us to condemn it. Katrina u. Is in beijing with more on how the Chinese Government is reacting. Chinese state media have begun broadcasting reports about the events of last night in hong kong but were seeing very different pictures on Chinese State media compared to what we saw on other channels for example the Chinese StateMedia Broadcast very much focused on kerry land very much focus on her condemnation of this violence and also focused on what the Hong Kong Police have said probably criminal acts committed by these protesters beijing has very much said that theyre going to back any investigation in any prosecution in pursuit of prosecution of of possible crimes that took place last night now here in china this is very much of the point of view that beijing is trying to get across that that these are not brave daring protesters who are frustrated these are fact probably just dogs and to emphasize that message what we did see here on Chinese State media on 2 papers here english language Chinese State media newspapers the 1st in global times an image not of protesters not of a trashed alleged car but of people having a very nice time celebrating the anniversary of hong kongs return to the mainland by gathering in and forming a sign that says i love hong kong and similarly on the front page of china daily we have a picture of some locals joining in with the Chinese Military officers to celebrate the event and to say how happy they are about being part of the motherland so that is definitely the image that beijing would like to convey to the world trying to dismiss anything that happened last night is really nothing more than outliers and thats what we expect to hear more of when Chinas Foreign Ministry give a statement later on today lets go live now to hong kong and speak to wayne has what does the day after both those peaceful rallies in the more violent storming of the Legislative Council look like. You know sam its been a remarkable transformation really just a few hours ago there were those scenes of absolute mayhem here on the streets around the Legislative Council building behind me basically hong kongs parliament and it has been an emphasis on the cleanup really so far on Tuesday Morning because theres the riot police moved into this area to clear the protesters away from the streets and also those that have gone inside the building itself forcing their way all the way into the debating chamber inside the Parliament Building as they fled they left behind a huge amount of debris rubbish all over the street so that has been one of the focuses of Tuesday Morning is to clear the streets around this building the streets are open to traffic again the building itself though still very much cordoned off by police it suffered a lot of damage throughout the course of monday into Tuesday Morning as those protesters went in there they smashed through the glass windows and doors to get in there and it didnt end there once they were inside they spent a lot of time vandalizing parts of that building right in graffiti on the walls destroying internal doors and walls so the police are going through that building right now treating it as a crime scene they are building a case they say against anyone that they can identify that was inside that building unlawfully so that is very much the focus at the moment and it will be some time before that building can reopen again because of the fairly extensive damage that was done to it a lot of head scratching going on no doubt whats next for the prodemocracy movement. Yes i think this period will be a period of backing off to an extent this was such a peak in violence compared to what weve really seen over the past 3 weeks throughout the course of this Antigovernment Movement these proteus on the streets of hong kong it was unprecedented what we saw take place on monday morning into the early hours of Tuesday Morning so i think both sides will certainly take a step backwards what were hearing from the protesters from the antigovernment protesters or at least prodemocracy politicians and activists is that the fight will certainly go on and the reason for that is that theyre not getting what they want from the government led by hong kongs chief executive kerry lam a big complaint is that this government led by her is simply not listening to their demands it started of course with that controversial extradition bill that would allow criminal suspects from hong kong to be sent to Mainland China to face the Justice System there but that was really just seen as the latest example of what the protesters view as beijings increasing influence over the political system in hong kong they want kerry lamb to resign they want that extradition bill not just suspended as it is now but they wanted withdrawn altogether so far there is no sign of either of those things happening so i think in the long term well see more protests on the streets of hong kong all right thanks so much wayne hey there joshua wong is one of hong kongs most recognizable activists who was only recently released from prison after leading the protest movement he hopes the wider public can understand the frustration of protesters. At the same time if the lawmaker of hong kong people critically elected the bill can be so easy. But now. Its just a puppet of beijing its hard to fully agree and its not good to encourage people to pay their. Life and i hope people can have understand understand because when hong kong only 7000000 population 2 minas of then they deferred people to settle down peacefully parents hold the baby costs bring their children join the rallies sure to watch the show the voice of people beijing do you keep silence if the totally peaceful demonstration. How come youngster High School Student younger than me they pay to live at recess and might face 10 years general terms even people might disagree i think that blame on them is not the way its terminated withdraw to be 0 is the way out i strongly q re is a run wonder and when people surveyed announce that my universe is small and 70 percent of people are not suspend they are still asking to withdraw it because people have no trust on paging and Hong Kong Government so why not withdraw to be able to solve the political crisis generated by caroline. President donald trump is accusing iran of playing with fire thats after the uns Nuclear Watchdog confirmed stockpiling more enrich uranium than allowed by the 2015 Nuclear Deal Washington is warning it will never allow to develop Nuclear Weapons and it will continue its maximum Pressure Campaign until long changes course. No person should iran they know what theyre doing they know what theyre playing with and i think theyre playing with fire so no message to iran whatsoever irans foreign minister says that iran has the right to exceed the limits because the 2015 nuclear deal has not been upheld. As ive been informed iran has exceeded the 300 kilogram limit to enrich uranium we had previously announced they said we were transparent in saying what we are going to do we consider it our right reserved in the nuclear deal. Per your coffee and. Actions by the europeans have not been enough so we will move ahead with our plan we are in the process of doing out the 1st phase of action increasing our stockpile of enriched uranium as well as our heavy water reserves we have already announced a 2nd phase which would be surpassing the u. Rhenium enrichment limit of 3. 6 percent this will be our next step. John hendren has more from washington d. C. President donald trump says iran is playing with fire that is after iran announced that it is violating the 2015 Nuclear Agreement the multinational agreement in which it set levels at which it could store stockpiles of uranium before that happened the white house put out a statement saying in part maximum pressure on the Iranian Regime will continue until its leaders alter their course of action the regime must end its Nuclear Ambitions and its malign behavior but responses have also been pouring in through the 280 character format of twitter from the administration we have secretary mike pompei oh the u. S. Secretary of state saying the worlds top sponsor of terrorism can never be allowed to enrich uranium at any level john bolton the National Security adviser for the u. S. Says there is no reason for iran to increase its enrichment unless it is part of an effort to reduce the breakout time to produce Nuclear Weapons there have also been responses from the democratic president ial candidates Bernie Sanders says hes pushed us to the brink of war with iran and kept us in the horrific saudi led war in yemen we need real diplomacy any club which our centrist candidate says now iran is closer to a Nuclear Weapon than before Trump Took Office this did not need to happen and we should negotiate back into the agreement thats the 2015 Nuclear Agreement the us has bailed out of n. Joe biden the former Vice President and leading candidate in the democratic president ial race says trumps iran policy has alienated us from our allies and taken us to the brink of another war in the middle east everything this president does is backwards this could end in a number of different ways with an agreement possibly between the u. S. And iran with a military conflict like the one that only days ago President Trump said he was within 10 minutes of ordering or we could have the kind of prolonged standoff that we have right now.

Now stargazers are flocking to a small town in chile what they hope will be an exceptional viewing will be looking out for a total Solar Eclipse which is set to darken the skies over south america later on tuesday it will travel across parts of chile and argentina in a journey lasting about 6 minutes our latin american editor Lucien Newman travelled to live where in chile the best place to see the rare event. The transparent skies of northern chile especially the cold kimble region have turned this into the worlds astronomic capital. But scientists arent the only ones rushing to witness a cosmic event that is drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors here to see a total Solar Eclipse people say well whats question without a why do you want to travel so far to say. After you see the eclipse you will know that this will be the american couples 16th have been chasing Solar Eclipses the world over in a full Solar Eclipse.

But for astronomers and physicists who also camped out here its an opportunity to see elusive stars gather data or demonstrate the theory of relativity through these telescopes so you will go to the better if you are able to see weak stars during a total eclipse we will be able to determine if the light is displaced and and demonstrate once again on steins general theory of relativity and they said its wonderful thats what sharon and byrne are bill cults have less ambitious expectations so im hoping to see stars in the daytime.
