Its the 1st time the launch group of demonstrators takes aim at property of the central Chinese Government since the widespread protests began last month thats the talk or a spawn and in Hong Kong Rog Mcbride as we continue to watch these live pictures rob tell us about whats happening the mood seems to have changed. Or got surly programmer to go out for good or to live there a few episodes 5 are there there has been this clear as awful as it got i just dropped back from the. Front line of the program. Police just like that might knock knock knock knock for. Back up the phone 1 1 to come on the beat prepared not that we think we are going to be. Measured in number of trying to bring out the record to be close to the protests back to you but you that the protests went through of i did in a place called one gigantic truck with a few kilometers from where around that youve been that about because they were very very protests that they carried on over why. So the question is if im going to i was in fact to chinas Liaison Officer the. The most prominent scientists that chinas influence here it is that sometimes talking to children protesters say surrounded the building actually a link to clearing the way there was a couple tension between holy. Shield to push the church just the fact also some. Right life shied in that direction then there was a standoff but it seems as though thats the better 9 part of a number of projectiles started to get strode across the true test is towards the police we cant tell you exactly why. But at that point the police did seem to take that as. They started it had had enough but they were going to clear the streets let me so a lot of the take i think we also understand there have been a pretty. Seedy. Projectiles if they could have i think 5 we. Have a question of whether you were actually fired the police simply taking a concerted effort to try people on the street people have been holding back they are making barricades to say because there are still thousands on the street here some of them urging. Just pull back to the area or central which is where the government offices others are saying stand for children 5 ok can you see if you can id the picture is Pretty Amazing the content we can see to hong kong right now lost to gas 7 weeks ok now rob how much pressure is this putting on the government that the chief executive carol lam. Well the government is pretty much hunkered down very very have carried out pretty much cancelled all hurricane weeks now she pretty much stays we speak to their government offices and their official. President she will no doubt be in Constant Contact with their aging officials just about how 1 this is being handled on this hand over many things people political analysts believe and i think some governments to post this suggests that she has this mishandled that she is under a lot of pressure also the police. Increasing pressure that the protesters. The police abuse Excessive Force in breaking up a largely peaceful demonstration say have activated the situation but they are you do feel a certain amount of sympathy for this police force which the city used 9 as a Political Tool almost they are caught in the middle of this political wrangle that seems to find no solution and the consequence is that they are on the receiving end simply by the violent clashes like this the protests earlier targeted Chinas Liaison Office in beijing how significant is that and how might beijing react. Protests continue and if there is violence as weve seen in the past. I think kerry going to be careful. With the chinese we as an office here is yes we we dont see a person obviously in thailand 5. Seeing that the there is and i think there was during the last major aggressed on how congress treats up the Umbrella Group of 5 years ago it was quite generally accepted that there was a threat to china to face it really like you were being lost if buildings were being bought at that point it really did not need the Hong Kong Police to control things they have to send in the Peoples Liberation army that seems to be the sort of read 1 the china. Statement has to be said with still a long way from that at the moment but china will be watching presumably closely a very difficult to see china allowing the whole concept of a tax cut 6. Id even if they dont come to that date back down were going to carry im going to die now if were talking about fargo that just through withdrawal of this extradition bell its almost like the genie is out of the bottle let people have started talking to going about the old issues of why cant we have democracy here with universal suffrage why cant we elect our leaders are not being someone appointed by doing so even if he. Did acquiesce to leak over to the protesters which didnt jump likely in any case at this point its difficult to see how its going to wait your turn to a t v. Thank you for that rob mcbride on the line from hong kong we continue to follow developments there and well bring you the latest when we have it thank you very much from. A negotiation between the u. S. And china to end a year long trade war may resume so enough to donald trump says said his treasury secretary had a great talk with this chinese counterpart this comes as china confronts its biggest no don in Economic Growth in nearly 3 decades wayne hay has more on how this one affects the communist partys future policies. With thousands of years people in china have been gathering around tables trying to outsmart each other in the game of mahjong its increasingly caught on around other parts of the will to a source of pride for experts in the game to teach foreigners visiting the Chinese Capital beijing this game bring people together you know during this game its enough to waning but if a player does want to win they need to strategize something Chinas Communist Party has done very well to survive and succeed in the late 1970 s. The party changed its strategy of isolation to modernization by opening up to the outside world. By embracing capitalist ideals of business and trade china became the factory of the world with the 2nd largest economy behind its current trade war enemy the United States but economically china is slowing down recording its lowest quarterly growth in 27 years and the world is watching what happens next the great wall of china was built primarily to keep invaders out the greatest fear of todays rule is the communist party is of domestic political instability which could lead to their overthrow thats why they know they need to continue to reform and develop the economy to ensure most people have jobs and an opportunity to improve their lives the theory being that as long as its delivering those things it can run the country largely the way it wants continuing to restrict free speech and stamp out disinter long the way. If the economy becomes stronger the party has a last incentive to change it will only change we did feel its roots challenged in the opening and the reform process only happened because the economy was collapsing if the economy grows there will think the model is successful with more than one. And its been able to use that model to become an economic superpower while rejecting scrutiny of things like alleged human rights abuses most recently the government denounced 22 nations for signing a letter condemning china for the detention of we get muslims in shin jang province but it embraced a supporter of letter signed by 37. 00 countries including several muslim majority nations that have large economic deals with china. But many chinese believe theres a lack of understanding about this country and its people which leads to what they say is unfair treatment by others particularly the United States they refuse it itll look at another country the refused to look at another perspective so they only hear what they want to hear chinas strategy is to be a modern powerful socialist country its proved its a serious player and in some cases is rewriting the rules of the game like wayne hay al jazeera beijing phantom or head on this aljazeera news hour including ukrainians go to the polls in a snap parliamentary election in what is seen as a test for the newly elected president. 3. 014.

Exit polls in japans opera house election predicts Prime Minister shinzo abbes Ruling Coalition has won a comfortable majority needs 2 thirds of the vote to pave the way for planned constitutional reform including a change to restrictions on japans armed forces japans state television says that may be possible if the existing coalition is joined by other parties as big to fight the salami in tokyo for a saw a pledge to amend the constitution during campaigning does this victory mean citizen support changing japans constitution. Will actually this is what mr abbott understands in his victory speech to and talk to local t. V. He thanked the people for supporting his political and diplomatic agenda so he understands that the people are supporting amending the course and constitution but many of the people actually supported him because they were looking for stability. But i missed that ive been a has been in office for 6 and a half years and he is indeed he brought back stability to the political scene in japan after what socalled revolving door politics in which 6 Prime Ministers came to office within 3 and a half years so people chose him for stability and actually one of the main issues that the people many issues in this elections were at economy and social issues so people didnt actually give him an a for for a zation to amend the constitution but hes going to push forward with his long long time dream of changing or amending this constitution read which hasnt been changed for over 70 years since the end of the 2nd world war but hes going to need the 164 the magic number the majority 2 thirds majority in the upper house and still his about 11 seats short of that number so how could this victory affects the japanu.

Of trying to drag britain into a quagmire after the seizure of a British Oil Tanker the u. K. Government has written to the Un Security Council calling for the ships released so. They are running as battles between protesters and police on the streets of hong kong youre looking at live pictures right now of a standoff between Police Officers in full riot gear and in large numbers of protesters as suicide bomber has killed at least 6 people at a hospital in northwest pakistan the attack happened in a city of Dera Ismail Khan still enough to gunmen opened fire on a Police Checkpoint killing 2 offices the Pakistani Taliban have claimed responsibility. Returning now to one of us top stories on this news hour and the demonstrations in hong kong that police have used rubber bullets and tear gas against protesters this hour as speak to joseph chang was an activist. And a former professor at City University of hong kong his via skype from the you so much for being with us these mass protests began over the exhibition deal with china of course but the Hong Kong Government has suspended that bill now why are these protests continuing 7 weeks on and where the protests is hoping to achieve well you see to her oh this is a circle in a step that a state carried out an illustration if you use it is to make concessions to the program ocracy movement and hes in the field so as to engage in a dialogue people are getting angrier and business especially so for the young people and since the june charles confrontation between the protesters and the police each one of confrontation is further insensibly the hostilities between the 2 counts so no you have a test of political will to live. And therefore is a test is a confrontation is a road to more and more clashes it is even stare at each of our massive projects for only the more radical young people as our state bared and they would like to engage in confrontations with the police so as to exert pressure on the government you said the protesters want more concessions from kerry lamb that the chief executive what concessions precisely are they looking for. They are still insisting on. A clear cut withdraw of the controversy or notice lation instead of just saying is good and at least they also won and end our Investigation Commission 7 indian Legend Police buttons for the sake of sudden theyre already there radicals still dont lie to secure their release of the product or service on the part of the administration but it seems that a carrier who has carried on and decision has decided no more quality is no independent investigation and no more declaration of a clear cut withdrawal of the country was no peace that makes a station under such circumstances are the prodemocracy movement and the people of hong kong what my 2 and gage in 3rd 4th are circular these do exert pressure on the government and to indicate their anger and frustration at the lack of response on the part of kerry no i mean seriously but why take aim at mainland offices to protest says earlier some protesters targeted Chinas Liaison Office in hong kong what is that going to achieve. I dont think the young protesters have broken a sort of total war this cap on the chinese naive on the central areas on the representative of the aging is a symbolic ed together with a Straight Arrow will not to do you want to was a strong authoritarian government certainly in hong kong people understand that on important issues like political reforms and so on the phone call to them and as he told the 9 defining beaching and in the case of the kerry land the ministration own people are especially enry dad she has been eager to tease and sue has failed to defend on campisi pulls interest get a slice it has been it kills up the stray people how much pressure is she under right now kerry lamb and what do you think its going to take for her to perhaps change her stance and heed to some of the demands of the protesters for the sake of ease. And its so as to be united with the james the feel so to make concessions to mars movements i think kerry lamb ministration has clearly indicate get there soon intends to skate on and sue has been backed big game and since she has been backed by the big during the entire poor service one can will have to talk with the beijing 9 and 6 thought and this explains why she refuses to make. Concessions she has been keeping a very little full far oh the surface she seems to be. Patience he weighed all the. Gold in the radicals radical young people get me. Through. But so far it does not work thank you so much so as if chang for speaking to us as we continue to watch these live pictures from hong kong where police have used tear gas at protesters while attempting to disperse them this sunday 7 weeks of protests in hong kong mass protests that began over the extradition deal with china an extradition bill that the government of hong kong later suspended but the protesters continue to take to the streets every weekend. By u. S. Secretary of state mike bump aoe is in mexico his latest stop on a tour of latin american countries tensions between the neighbors have been vising as u. S. President donald trump continues his efforts to crack down on illegal immigration and the wave of Asylum Seekers arriving at americas southern border rapido is our correspondent in mexico city joins us now live on the news hour so what can we expect from this meeting between the u. S. Secretary of state and the Mexican Foreign minister. This meeting between the u. S. Secretary of state the Mexican Foreign minister is a timely one its a day before the 45 day deadline on a deal that prevented the United States from slapping tariffs on mexican exports if the government of mexico was unable to rein in and stem the flow of migrants from Central America making their way north through mexico and into the United States both officials will also be talking about a trilateral trade deal between the United States canada and mexico the u. S. M. C. A. Which is meant as a deal to to replace nafta put the focus entirely which is what we expect will be on immigration the change in u. S. Asylum laws that will force Asylum Seekers from Central America to stay in a quote unquote safe 3rd country unable to come into the United States ill give you an example if i was a migrant from guatemala honduras el salvador i make my way through mexico and into United States i would automatically be ineligible to apply for asylum i would instead have to wait in the united way to mexico for that asylum case to be processed if eligible at all and the Mexican Government has says that has said that they do not agree with this policy by the United States will be interesting to find out what exactly the Mexican Government will do if they will be adopting this policy that the United States is trying to impose on mexico so has mexico met the standards set by the Trump Administration to send the fellow migrants. All signs to suggest that mexico has met the criteria set by the trumpet ministration ill give you a sense of some of the numbers that weve that weve seen mexico has deployed thousands of National Guard troops to its northern border with the United States and its southern border with guatemala this is amounted to an increase of 88 percent in the capture of migrants over the course of the last 42. 00 days that amounts of somewhere over just just more than a 1000 migrants being captured every single day u. S. Vice president mike pence as said that that mexico is doing more to stem the flow of migrants coming in the United States than democrats are in the u. S. Congress this is something that has been repeated by President Trump who ultimately will be the one who decides whether or not mexico has met that criteria although the numbers as far as we can tell do suggest that mexico has met the standards set by the trumpet ministration in that regard thank you for that money of rapinoe live for us in mexico city more kenyans are using mobile phone apps to borrow money but as it becomes cheaper to borrow hundreds of thousands of kenyans are ending up on the governments credit blacklist some companies are being a keys of using illegal methods siniora people into debt catherine stowey has a story from nairobi.

Tanker thats been seized by the revolutionary guard is being kept along with the 23 crew members on board the pair o. Has been taken to this port city where the officials have said that they are looking into what actually transpired on friday the revolution guard has said that the vessel risks Maritime Safety in the strait of hormuz and the reason for the seizure was that it had turned off all tracking systems and it was not responding to warnings and choosing the wrong route to enter the strait of hormuz considering that it was seas around 8 pm local time in iran on friday the tanker was passing through their route for about 8 hours without any coordination meanwhile weve heard from the speaker of Parliament Larijani who spoke about the issue and he had one very strong sentence to say about this event he said the british committed piracy and the revolutionary guards responded to them that is the sentiment here a better fish if the revolutionary guard to saying that this vessel violated International Maritime law and that is why the iranians have seized it weve also heard comments from the british the arabian diplomat in the u. K. Who has tweeted about the issue and he said that the u. K. Government should contain those domestic Political Forces who want to escalate tensions between iran and the u. K. Beyond the issue of ships and this is quite dangerous and unwise at a sensitive time in the region iran however is firm and ready for different scenarios the general feeling here is that the iranians have carried out what they believe is their Due Diligence when it comes to securing the waters of the strait of hormuz and that is what the revolutionary guard has said theyve done with the act that they carried out on friday. Police in hong kong have fired rubber bullets gas at protesters who have bronx rolls hours after another mass protest sees a life pictures right now from hong kong and estimated 400000. 00 people had to march across the city in the 7th week of protests but a crowd of demonstrators later gathered outside Chinas Liaison Office in the city and threw eggs and black paint at the building demonstrators are trying to push the government to officially withdraw a controversial extradition bell lets get the latest with rob mcbride who was in hong kong at the rally tell us whats been happening in the last few hours bob whats the more like right now. Thats right. Night of may have been chaos here on the streets of hong kong running battles between police and protesters. Meant that the whole of the Central District of hong kong here is in a real mess the standoff is still continuing let me just tell you where we are were actually very close with the shadow of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange here in about 9 hours or so the traders will be coming to work and opening up but at the moment the place is trashed as you can see now the standoff has been continuing all evening this running battle between protesters and Police Police gave a warning that they were going to clear the street starting in the west from the chinese Liaison Office which had been defaced they started moving protesters back using their shields and so on using riot gear venture only there was a standoff and then a number of objects were thrown from the ranks of the protesters we know that bricks have been thrown weve seen bricks being thrown in factories you go along the streets here you see whole bits of the sidewalk have been dug up of this stuff projectiles and so on have been gathered from places like here we have seen a number of projectors being thrown and the police. Have responded with some force there has been an awful lot of pepper spray an awful lot of tear gas theyre also been firing these kind of baton rounds these being the backgrounds that are meant to deliver effectively a whack from a baton well when theyre fired from from the guns that the police have so they have been used there have been injuries and there have been a rest now the standoff is still continuing down ahead there are a few 100 meters or so. Has to be said quite a few of the protesters have now gone home its one of the characteristics of this weekend protesting that basically protesters will stay pretty much until the last empty our subway we have an empty subway system here the last trains are running about now and people want to catch them to get home people. Also have work starting again monday morning so there is still a group of protesters down there facing off against Police Others have pulled back into the central area of hong kong and the adults here area which is where a lot of the government offices are and the police are still gradually clearing the streets for only 7 weeks of protests now rob how much pressure is the government and. It is under increasing about pressure and has been for weeks the government has tried to say that it is listening it will do things differently we have had apologies from the chief executive kerry lamb shes taken full responsibility for this but it is very much a case of the government basically just hunkering down and waiting for this all to go away thats what happened effectively 5 years ago with the with what we had the last similar unrest to this where the Umbrella Movement basically the government just waited out and waited for popular opinion to turn against the protesters people got sick of the the ongoing clashes and people occupying the streets 5 years ago. The. It may well be that people are genuinely shocked by the scenes of violence that they see in the clashes that theyve seen on the streets of hong kong maybe it is not the case though that a lot of the sympathy has drifted away as it did 5 years ago people the students largely students who are taking part of these protests still have a lot of sympathy from the large sections of the population i remember today according to the organizers more than 400000 people were out marching in the streets again they marched all the way through in this incredible heat all the way through the streets to the just chinese Liaison Office most of them just went home afterwards they had done their bit they had marched they had made their voices heard and it is just the remaining few 1000 hardcore the people who do stay on increasingly it seems and this is the worrying factor i think now not prove they are not afraid of taking on the police of risking injury to themselves and also risking injury to the Police Officers facing off against you for that robbery force in hong kong.
