Kilometers so they tried to break them up at the very beginning that was an unsuccessful by the police and then so hundreds of thousands of people marched all the way through there were confrontations along the route but the biggest was what their final destination and that was the government complex as you mentioned thats what we saw the blue dye chemically laden water cannon being used we saw petrol bombs being thrown by the protesters bricks being thrown by the protesters and then obviously volleys of tear gas coming back at them what does this mean moving forward obviously this is a big clash today something we havent seen for several days what are we going to be seeing over the next few days as you alluded there you know the 75th anniversary the founding the peoples republic of china is on tuesday october 1st obviously the protesters have said that they want to counter that in some way we dont know exactly whats going to happen one thing you can be certain of the Security Forces here the police the riot police are going to be ready for something there are a couple of events here in hong kong 2 to mark that 70000. 00. What was interesting through the protests that the march today defacing of signs for the 70th anniversary so you know reading up to that right now theres going to be a general strike on monday and then focused on the events surrounding the 70 better verse 3 of the front of the peoples republic of china on tuesday ok scott either their life or as in hong kong thanks very much indeed. They have been major rallies say in cities around the world in solidarity with hong kong protesters more than 10000 people walked through the streets of taiwans capital despite heavy rain they were headbands advocating for a revolution in hong kong taiwan split with the mainland in 1949 but china sees it as a breakaway province it will one day for the retake and synastry li and more than a 1000 people turned out in central sydney yelling slogans like fight for freedom and stand with hong kong demonstrators were black clothing of color often borne by antigovernment protesters in the semi autonomous city. So the is now in britains Prime Minister is battling several fronts as he joins members of his conservative party in manchester for their annual conference theres not only the bricks that pressure on Boris Johnson theyve also been calls for him to resign over corruption allegations from his time as londons mayor well lets get the latest now from Lawrence Leigh he joins us from that conference in manchester in Lawrence Johnson is under attack on several fronts whats the mid like at the conference just no. Well i mean certainly theyre trying to deflect as much as they can Boris Johnson keeps saying he wants to get bricks it done thats the thats the slogan of that conference and hes been at all spittal stay talking about the Health Service and police and all those things which she wants to do none of them of course anything to do with leaving the European Union but i mean certainly manchester is a difficult place for a start for the conservatives to be so its a be having their conference all the m. P. s around here from the opposition labor Party Manchester voted to stay in the European Union by and large people dont like bricks it and they dont like him either and sunny several 1000 people in these protests have braved the rain to protest against him in the conservative party and as youre saying hes fighting on several fronts. Lost a lot of his own m. P. s lost every single vote in parliament lost of the Supreme Court and now hes facing a corruption inquiry involving the police as well but its a still keep going back to the big mystery of what he intends to do about rex it because hes similar the saying that despite the fact that a lot has been forcing him to seek an extension subjects it from the European Union he says he will abate that law and yet he says at the same time that the u. K. Is going to leave the European Union at the end of october in any case and you can do both of those things that they at the same time at the very best i suppose you could call it extraordinary and they go stating strategy with the european you with the europeans and the European Union but he cant give an answer to the question as to what hes going to do if you go to the European Council the middle of october without without any new deal and it is a complete mystery that has all the opposition m. P. s and frankly the citizenry of the country completely baffled as well and so its a very difficult conference i think it will in all for the conservative party primarily for that reason and of course pranks limbs large over all of this possession team Boris Johnson the conservatives the certainly hardening regarding their strategy to bracks what about parliament itself whats their plan. Well i mean bearing in mind that you know there are of those there are dozens more m. P. s who are against the governments than that in favor thats why you cant pass any law what i think has you seen happen over the last few days particularly since given the Extraordinary Events last week in parliament and the language that Boris Johnsons been using about the this new law surrendering almost in like a war suited to the European Union all those opposition parties which we dont agree about many things the scottish nationalists Labor Party Liberal democrats they all want Different Things but i do get the sense that their attitudes was johnson is hardening and theyre becoming so angry. Towards him to the extent that they are prepared to find some source of position which looks like its heading in the direction of trying to have a vote of no confidence in johnson potentially installing jeremy colby in his Prime Minister only for a while to make sure that brick sic on happen at the end of october and forcing it as a general election to happen its a difficult position particularly for the for the for the liberal democrats the 2nd Biggest Party in parliaments they just dont like but jeremy its on the Jeremy Colvin at all but it looks like things are now getting to a point when they think that they find johnson to be so unreliable that the gaps do something pretty seismic of their own to try to force the issue because they simply dont trust him to abate the law as its been passed in parliaments. Ok it lawrence leave their life in manchester thanks very much indeed. Theres also more still to come on the news hour including a rapidly rising death toll in northern endears late monsoons cause widespread flooding. And is 4 years since a myanmar cease fire was signed we look at one of these secretive ons groups refusing to join the peace accords. And in sports whales and a strangely a sad Rugby World Cup thriller in japan all the action coming up later with joe. Violence technical failures this solution at sap had a dramatic impact on afghanistans president ial election an Election Commission official says the estimated voter turnout for saturdays vote was just over 2000000. 00 people now say its of more the 9 and a half 1000000 registered voters hundreds of polling stations didnt open our Hearts Communications cut off and their late 70 attacks across the country killed 5 people and injured hundreds of others robbed mcbrides of bricks and the numbers for us from couple. It became obvious during the election day saturday that the turnout was going to be low but these initial figures seem to bear out just how low the turnout has been we have had the initial figures back from the Election Commission showing that across afghanistan some 4500 polling stations were opened thats 500 less than the country wanted those 500 couldnt open because of security concerns and well over half of those polling stations have now returned figures showing that more than a 1000000 people voted now if you consider that most of these polling stations that have so far registered their numbers in the cities where security is higher then we could see even lower returns coming from rural areas where the taliban is stronger so that 2000000 votes could be on the optimistic side even so that is out of a population of 9000000 people who are registered to vote in a country of 30000000. 00 plus and this compares with the last election 5 years ago when 8000000. 00 people went out to vote nonetheless the Afghanistan Government is claiming this to be a success that despite all of the predictions of chaos and violence it was able to open polling stations and maintain a certain level of security across the country but despite that many parties here will be wondering just how valid this result can be with so few people voting and the allegations of vote rigging the voter fraud have already started between the major candidates. Its been almost 4 years since the myanmar government sans ethnic rebel group signed the nationwide cease fire agreements the still no sign of lost in peace some groups are refusing to sign the documents including was regarded as a stage as largest nonstate army it controls an isolated region on the borders with china and thailand where hate takes a rare luke that was state.

When i 1st moved here there was only jungle everywhere but now its more developed in the past it was very poor and 5 behind but its getting better. There was signed a bilateral ceasefire deal with the me and my army in 1909 and havent been directly involved in any significant fighting since theyre largely left to run their own affairs and still maintain a well organized and well resourced fighting force of up to 30000. 00 now about having under pressure to join the governments nationwide cease fire agreement which like many other ethnic armies are refusing to do they say theyre not prepared to meet one of the key conditions of that deal which is for this soldiers to lay down their weapons and join the me and my military the y. Are also fiercely protective of their income streams like jade mining and the illegal wildlife trade many products like tiger and bear teeth are sold openly in the state capital punk come the United States army is also thought to be one of the regions largest manufacturers of Illegal Drugs a business that says its no longer in but there are many who believe those who run this area are still stuck in the past and until they open up life will not improve for you im in pretty bad here i want want to continue to develop i want to see more people move through here which will improve trade in business in the past 2 or 3 years its been very bad i can make a so much. Why state serves as a reminder of how fragmented me and mar is while the syria may be at peace for now its the people that continue to pay the price of civil war through isolation i do like of developments wayne hay al jazeera.

Well its time for the weather now with jenny and any sign of a let up in that range and you know i only wish the answer was yes about how to but unfortunately known as we heard in that report the rains have just been a very sage so any sign over drawl so let me just read the sergeant who has been having over the last few hours so when we talk about the withdrawal it generally begins at the start of september obviously were towards the very end and it begins to recede from the northwest and the rains gradually push further towards these more eastern sections that just hasnt happened and we have just had literally state after state that has been inundated a couple of days ago it was maharashtrian these pictures of course the coming out of the protests and this is what we have got in the forecast over the next few days there is more very heavy amounts of rain and again it is really very widespread up into bihar state has been some very heavy rain as well partner for example right at the north 271 men meters in just 24 hours that this is a very informal accumulation in the next 3 days you can see how widespread it is and these areas a red where weve got the heaviest rain and in fact bangladesh also will be very severely impacted we could see as much as 540 millimeters coming down into general dhaka and you also notice this red coloring out across. This again is where well seeing the very heavy amounts of rain so the Indian National has really has been very busy this year continuing to put out these warnings because it literally is all these different areas so thats on through monday and then monday into tuesday it really is a similar story if anything but i choose day those rains are actually heavier again up towards the northeast and this time because hes been flooding up into our some states and also across into an attack.

Police in hong kong are responding with tear gas rubber bullets and water cannon as antigovernment protesters hold another mass rally in what they describe as chinese territory several arrests have been made. And u. K. Prime minister Boris Johnson is facing pressure on several fronts as he attends the governing conservative Party Conference in manchester there are calls for his resignation over corruption allegations for his time as mayor of london. Well lets get more on this Matthew Goodwin is a professor of politics at the university of kent and joins us by skype from london kids everywhere this on the program. Is not an easy braids of it since he became Prime Minister or indeed leader of the conservative party do you think this will be a difficult conference for him. Well i think potentially it is going to be quite difficult of course theres been the rule over the suspension of parliament hes lost a significant number of his own m. P. s who are unhappy with his aggressive strategy and also his language in the house of commons but at the same time he is going to speak to a conservative party that is rule of the united in wanting to deliver grex it as quickly as possible in his strategy or so which is now. Reflected in the slogan get it done is going to be the focus overwhelmingly this week on keeping those him so. The conservative party has been famously divided over europe and weve seen those divisions certainly become exposed with the way he. Feels like 21 members of his own party and so on and so forth just where are the grassroots tories on this today supports john says leadership on this and thats a tougher more aggressive stance and the grassroots of the party. Well thats the critical question the vast majority of conservative votes and the overwhelming majority of conservative members are progress but of course what Boris Johnson is really doing by doubling down on this breaks it strategy is he is reshaping the conservative party it is not only shaping britains well a ship with europe it is also making the conservative party a little bit more progress and what does that mean Boris Johnson is attracting more working class voters and hes attracting more voters in the north of england in traditionally labor areas and so hes losing some of the more middle Class Program main voters in the south and fundamentally i would argue he is changing the dynamic of the conservative party electorates really significant things going on in british politics and well they certainly are not course this all comes against the backdrop of this looming deadline with bracks set. To take place on the 31st of october 2 years saying that its likely the u. K. Will leave on the saddling. My view is that its unlikely that the u. K. Will be able to leave we have whats called the ban act the house of commons with Boris Johnson of course no longer having a majority in the house and hes have moved to essentially force the Prime Minister to request an extension if he is unable to make a new deal with the European Union it is unlikely in my view that forest johnson will get that deal therefore that deadline will be extended most likely until the end of january 2020 and between now and then that therefore opens the door to a fresh general election why is that needed because all of the parties have to shake up the arithmetic in a parliament that has been unable to pass anything of substance related to that issue so the next 3 months are going to be quite the tornado in british politics and thats going to be talking about this far an awful lot longer yes thank you very much and dave mack you get them there joining us from london. Now Russian Police say around 20000 protesters have rallies on the streets in moscow in support of kohli is a mystery should have been called by a physician leaders to demand the release of activists to take an authorized reillys in july and august more recently the 23 year old actor profit off was sentenced to 3 and a half years in prison for using violence against the policeman and often eyes the charges for his family and friends say he was just a bystander knots involved in the protests well lets get the latest now from start fastened live from moscow and stuff wookey tell us about these demonstrations seems like significant numbers of people in the streets. Yes its quite a massive outpouring of support here in moscow for all these people who have been detained for quite some years now some of them have been sentenced to 3 or 4 years even just for simply attending an unsanctioned rally well this one is a sanctioned rally and interestingly most of the opposition figures where all these demonstrations were about because as you remember they were not allowed to to run in the local elections here in moscow and that was the reason that people took to the streets of the 1st nation and the police had a serious crackdown lots of people were arrested and some have been jailed until now well those opposition figures are actually all here now they all have been released right now theyre here and also talking on the stage and asking demanding the authorities to release all those people who are still in detention as you mentioned 23 year old actor a young actor who wasnt even involved in any of these rallies whos now facing 3 and a half years in prison and that angered a lot of people not only activists but also people who actually for all kremlin people from government side have also question this severe punishment against. And a lot of people also from all kinds of professions doctors and scientists they all have signed open letters asking the government to release these people they say have been jailed on trumped up charges. The fact that this is a sanctioned dryly if you like and the groundswell of support certainly behind her just like the lucerne or does that suggest that the authorities might be softening in their approach to all of this. While they have been sanctioning rallies in the past few weeks us well i think they have to have a sort of stage actually allow people to go on to the streets because these emotions are running quite high and in the meantime we have seen unsanctioned rallies so i think the government is basically just taking up an approach to let some steam off and thats whats been happening right here behind me and i found a very well known opposition figure here as well he also was a detention for quite a while so a business one of the ways to let steam off as people are saying here theyre not going to stop this is not the end of it of course the pressure will continue to be on the authorities to release these people ok steadfast in their live in moscow thank you. Well polls close in just under 2 hours say in austria snap election the early votes was called after former chancellor Sebastian Court says censor right coalition collapsed in the wake of a Corruption Scandal is Peoples Party is facing off against its former Coalition Partners the far right Freedom Party and the center left social democrats dominic cain is in vienna but the laces. Millions of austrians have the opportunity to go to the polls to elect a snap Election Parliament this election should not really have been taking place for several years to come but it has been caused by the collapse of the Coalition Government that had been in place during the far right Freedom Party and the center right Peoples Party under sebastien courts the question will be how high is the turnout in this election in the previous Parliament Election was 80 percent will it be so high given that today is a sunny day across the entire country what factors will really play a part in the Decision Making of the voters will they look at the scandal which in golf the previous government particularly which will go after the Senior Leadership of the Freedom Party which forced them out of office those are many of the questions voters are having to answer and the result well it will decide where this country goes in the next 4 or 5 years syrias deputy Prime Minister has used his address at the Un General Assembly to demand the immediate withdrawal of all american and Turkish Forces while leads are while im said his country is opens an International Dialogue but not set the expense of its National Integrity or diplomatic editor james basis more from the u. N. Syrias deputy Prime MinisterWalid Muallem again representing his country at the u. N. General assembly hits out at 2 nato members for their military presence in syria. And. The United States and turkey maintain an illegal military presence inside Northern Syria they have been so arrogant to the point of Holding Discussions and reaching agreements on the creation of a socalled safe zone inside syria as if they were planning to establish the zone on american or turkish soil the u. N. Believes this is an important moment for syria after 8 and a half years of war at the end of october 150 delegates comprised of 3 groups nominated by the Assad Government the opposition and representing Civil Society will meet here at u. N. Headquarters in geneva under these terms of reference the committee will come up with a new constitution for syria the authority for the new committee is a u. N.

Can you guarantee to us now will be as that Resolution Says free and Fair Elections can i guarantee that this will take place no but as the right to stated this is part of my mandate its very clear to stamp that stated and its also in for National Consensus estimates for 3rd place some diplomats on the u. N. Security council are extremely cynical about the assad regimes decision to support the Constitutional Committee at this stage they believe that their main focus is still the military operation in it and theyre trying to keep the Constitutional Committee busy until they can declare a military victory james pays out his era at the united nations. Keep his foreign minister has to. Once the us for travel ban on its former president raul castro the restrictions on him and some of his family members were announced on thursday washington says castro has backed venezuelas president Nicolas Maduro says government suppressed protests broke out straw still remains the most senior official in cubas communist party. The u. S. State department has announced based on lies that the 1st secretary of the communist party of cuba army general roll castro would not be able to receive a visa to that country that selection with little practical effect except to insult the dignity of cuba and the feelings of our people. Here as president there outran has lashed out as an ongoing impeachment against and pitch britain quire a against him called the proceedings brought by House Democrats the single greatest scam in american politics the president is alleged by was supportive pressured ukraines leader 14 years olinsky to investigate his political rival joe biden and to gallagher joins us now live from washington d. C. Ending the impeachment inquiry is moving fast terror both sides reacting. Well sunday mornings in washington d. C. Are typically where all sorts of politicians and people in power take to the waves and the airwaves at the moment are just dominated by these in the church and proceedings i was listening to Stephen Miller a close advisor to President Trump this morning one of the architects of his immigration policy talking about this all being part of some kind of deep state inside job basically saying the officials within the white house are trying to bring down the president but its important to note that the whistleblower he or she we dont know who they are they dont know their identity the did the director of National Intelligence in a hearing before the Judiciary Committee said that that person followed the rules that they this was a credible report that needed to be followed up so that narrative is something i think were going to hear a lot from the republicans even from President Trump himself meanwhile the democrats staying laser focused on this call between selenski and President Trump because this issue is far simpler to explain far simpler
