A spike in radiation levels. And how a trade war between the u. S. And china is affecting latin americas most stable economy. Hello victim of the escalating political crisis in hong kong where theres been a burst of violence between protesters and police at the citys International Airport clashes broke out after an injured man who was being held by protesters was taken away by medics and history to say he was an undercover officer from the chinese mainland earlier flights were suspended for a 2nd straight day after thousands of protesters jammed the terminal chanting singing and waving banners Hoda Abdelhamid is at 1st what of whats happening there right now. Well now right now its very cold and what we are seeing is a big airport workers are trying to clear up. And put back things back to normal weve seen some of the employees come back to their counter some of the stranded passengers trying to figure out when they will be able to catch a flight back home and you still have the pocket of these protesters who are roaming around weve seen them actually clear out some of the mess that they had left behind but at the moment its certainly completely opposite of what we have seen throughout the day when this whole where im standing now and the one beneath the arrival all were. Packed jam packed with people dressed in black to protesters. And. At. This point at a standstill to the point that the authorities had announced the cancellation of all departing flights and what is that the political response to the. Demonstrations keep doing keep on with these protests and theres no sign of them changing their minds whats the political response to this. Well i think you have. What happened after the clashes that had scuffles rather that erupted here de airport is that the airport authorities had going to be finding that junction and that injunction was granted basically that would allow to disperse any further city in or protests here airport now its not clear how that would happen its also not clear whether tomorrow wednesday we will see this is the same scenes that we have seen over the past 48 hours again a here at home kongs International Airport so but what you do have do you get a sense is that all sides are sort of hardening their position and no one wants to give in certainly the protesters have been if you look around the airport theyre everywhere you look now that theyve been taken away but you had these leaflets and these brochures that were stuck everywhere where they were explaining that they were angry at police that they had 5 demands now and that they would not back off from these 5 demands on top of them for do that for kerry. To clearly state that that extradition bill has been withdrawn they say that she has in the exact wording for it so so far they still suspect this is just been suspended and thats not enough they also want to an apology for Police Brutality they say theres been excessive especially the last weekend and then so thats their position kerry lamb on her side is backing the police saying that the protesters have gone way too far that now theyre disrupting. Life in hong kong that it will have an impact Financial Impact for example the cost of this dropping all these. Airlines flights the cost of bringing this city just stands and that we are in the 3rd month of these. Protests that nobody knows when its going to end and as you mentioned earlier it is also beijing that is certainly. Toughening it stands verb and its been he using words as terrorism saying that some terrorist elements have infiltrated these protests youve mentioned the buildup of troops with these exercises happening at the border between hong kong and Mainland China so nobody really knows where all this is going to head to there is certainly a surgeon and value in the air here and if you ask whats next what protesters will tell you is that they will continue going down to the streets what the response will be they dont know how to thank you very much indeed joshua long is a leading voice in hong kongs prodemocracy movement he says the territories government isnt doing anything to address protesters demands. But its brutality does not get way out the can people might not be fully staffed or agree on or that behave as a protest or. A home Government Official just they be high riot police and do nothing and keep silence is the most difficult situation that we are facing we just hope people around to work to understand that because hopefully your action we have to get back to our own government is the type to stop Police Brutality when one of our young lady join the protest in permanent blindness thats why this right might continue and we know just flash this happening thought police concorde slowed down and transformed an International City to a police state its really terrible is that of a scale of what will progress to do next where the Hong Kong Riot Police moved just life threatening weapon just like she again will fire on home home activists has shot them the things that we saw only were we specially when police in the pa was just hold the guns and point to as people point to is the head of people what kind of uncertainty and cases might be generated by iraq b is strongly afraid and regret all it. Beijing says is preparing for military drills in the mainland satish and then just across the border from hong kong 101. 00. Syngenta here is the gateway from Mainland China into hong kong territory behind me theres a Railway Station theres a bus station theres a way for pedestrians to make their way into hong kong territory now also whats been happening here into engine over the last couple days is quite interesting you know there was state run media that put out video and stills of armored personnel carriers and Paramilitary Forces gathering here in the city actually in athletic fields just outside central now obviously this sends a message to those who are protesting in hong kong theres this big military force just across the border the Central Government says they are here for a large exercise its going to be happening over the next couple days this is coupled with the strengthening of rhetoric also coming out of beijing calling whats happening in some of those protests terrorism and saying that they will crack down with an iron fist but when you talk to people here in Mainland China about whats going on in hong kong they have a much different view than those in hong kong they say theyre frustrated theyre angry and theyre also scared we actually talked to some people who are going on their way into hong kong from Mainland China here one family was going to Hong Kong Disneyland and they said theyre frustrated because theyre worried about the safety of their children so obviously a much different view of whats happening in hong kong here in Mainland China. More than 500. 00 migrants from maine stranded in the Mediterranean Sea after being rescued by 2 aid boats the ocean viking ship run by Doctors Without Borders picked up more than 300. 00 migrants on sunday and monday and the spanish open arms vessel has been at sea for 12 days waiting for port and she approval and the u. N. Refugee agency has appealed for countries to take them in and safe on a european state member as a last to coordinate the boat. Dave eggers the Doctors Without Borders project coordination is on board the ocean viking rescue vessel in the Mediterranean Sea joins me over the phone thanks for being with us can you tell us more about the the migrants that youve rescued those kind of those operations what happened. To expand so we had 4 rescues in full 4 days in a row we had the 1st rescue 85 people the 2nd rescue was again 85 people the 3rd 81 and the last rescue was 105 people on that last rescue just moments after we got life jackets on all the people on board the rubber boat part of the river boat collapse and people actually went in the water if we wouldnt have been there just minutes before they would definitely have been more that in the mediterranean. And so what does that make you strong whether youre going to be allowed to just knock anyway. I mean if were leaving that up to the authorities we have contacted both the maltese authorities and the italian authorities are questioning a port of safety so we are relying on them to give us a proper place for disembarkation. Was going to say to the migrants and. What theyve been and some of these people have been at sea for for 4. 00 to 3. 00 to 4. 00 days in these rubber boats which arent even worthy for being at sea theres severely dehydrated they are showing signs of physical abuse psychological abuse from their time in libya wounds im just saying on their hands and feet speak for themselves they talk tell the stories about their times in arbitrary detention being forced into slavery rate being tortured and seeing people next to them killed for no reason at all which is their feeling from. Have. Been the interest on the mediterranean. Just b. C. How long can you talk to the longbow and if you dont get to a point to get into. We dont have a duration in mind were going to keep them as comfortable as long as we can. We have here. To rescue people and then provide them with a project or keep them comfortable and so we can get them to a point of safety for disembarkation which should happen is going to. Both that we have proper ations theyre not meant to keep on for long periods they need to be landed on shore as soon as they can get it i thank you very much im going to ask you to just push in time. Russia says its winning a Nuclear Arms Race despite a mysterious rocket testing accident in the north of the country which caused a spike in radiation levels the blast happened on thursday at an offshore naval taste testing base in several vinson northeastern petersburg at least 5 people died russian doctors who treated people injured in the incident have been taken to moscow for medical examination no official explanation has been given as to why the explosion caused a radiation spike of up to 16 times the normal level of 70 is a test site for Ballistic Missiles used by Nuclear Submarines setbacks and has more from moscow. Only 5 days after this mysterious explosion in the north of russia in the area of congleton we now know that the Weather Agency has measured radiation levels up to 16 times higher than normal in the city of suffered since where exactly this testing nearby took place the highest measurement was actually at a kindergarten so of course theres a lot of suspicion and also conspiracy theories going on here in russia about what exactly has happened the government has been very tight lipped the only thing that we heard from the president ial spokesman was that people should just trust the information thats been conveyed to them by the russian authorities and also about these ready ation levels he said that all the state agencies are working to make sure that the people are safe but of course a lot of people still remember what happened in chernobyl in 1986 there was of course a different scale of radiation there but also then there was an information blackout and thats exactly where people are really worried about the suspicion of course increased because the stories by the government has changed in the last 5 days initially the ministry of defense said there was no radiation then suddenly the local authorities admitted there was a short but quite high spike of radiation and then the the levels went back to normal initially there were 2 victims only to worth 75. 00 scientists died at the site and then only on sunday the authorities sort of confirmed that there was a Small Nuclear powered engine that exploded theres also a lot of speculation about what exactly was being tested there and american observers have said that this is the this skyfall the new missile that the lighting youre put in the post about last year saying that this could reach every corner of the planet because it is nuclear powered. U. S. President donald trump has weighed in on the russians and boasting of american superior city in the Nuclear Industry alan fischer has more from washington d. C. No official reaction from the state department or the Defense Department here in washington what we do have is a tweet from donald trump of course its 21000. 00 in the United States thats the only statement weve got from the u. S. Government he put out the United States is learning much from the field missile explosion in russia we have similar the more advanced technology of the russian skyfall explosion has people worried about the year around the facility and far beyond not good no there are those who are critical of what the president put out saying that this gives the russians a heads up on what the United States is working on if indeed that is the case theres always some dont when it comes to Donald Trumps tweets but if they are working on that then im sure it wouldnt be much of a surprise to the russians experts whove looked at the explosion see what they believe the russians were working on was a missile that could be fired anywhere in the world because it is powered by a Small Nuclear reactor and we know that the problem when it comes to dealing with Nuclear Reactors is miniaturized nation making them small enough to do the job that is required the americans actually looked at this technology in the fiftys and sixtys and had a number of failures and so it tended to forget all about it at that point now what is interesting is the timing of this it comes just a week or so after the United States pulled out of a Nuclear Treaty with russia and that led many to see theres a real possibility of a new Nuclear Arms Race but this weapon wouldnt be covered by that reagan era treaty thats because this is according to the experts a conventional weapon the difference of course is that its being powered by a Nuclear Reactor a very Small Nuclear reactor and that they believe is what caused the explosion.
