Some people say the shooters are rainy and theyre lying there from our country its the iraqi army killing iraqis. It is the head of the Popular Mobilization people says a mainly shia Paramilitary Group he says his forces didnt take part in the operation against the protesters. I am reaffirming that the interior ministry with the support from the military are the ones who stop these protests however the Popular Mobilization forces in the pressure are reserve forces for the commander of the armed forces who only interfere to fight any conspiracy whenever an order is given and no order was given this time across south and central iraq people are putting up pictures of those who have been killed and placed. The blame on the government the army and the government say that they will investigate the deaths of the protesters but that hasnt slowed the protest movement down in fact if anything judging by the chants the deaths have actually field the movement. 0.

Hong kong chief executive has defended her decision to ban face masks after crowds of protesters defied the new laura over the weekend antigovernment protests have gripped hong kong for months and the situation shows no sign of dying down kerry says while it will take time for the ban on face masks to work effectively other measures to restore order including help from Mainland China remain a possibility for at this point in time i still strongly feel that we should find the solutions ourselves that that is also the position of the Central Government that hong kong should tackle the problem on her own but if the situation becomes so bad then no options. If we want hong kong to at least to have another chance some chinese businesses are suspended ties with the Houston Rockets after the American Basketball Teams general manager expressed support for hong kong president protests that mori has since apologized for posting an image saying fight for freedom stand with hong kong his comments angered many of the teams chinese fans and some sponsors of distance themselves from the team the pressure from china has also sparked a rebuke from u. S. Politicians at a time when trade ties are already tense matheson has more from beijing. The overwhelming response on chinese social media to whats been happening in the United States has predominantly being that they love the n. B. A. They love basketball but they love china more and basketball is the number one sport in china its eclipsed even the football china back in august hosted the basketball world cup and there are 2 n. B. A. Matches that are being held in china this month one of which is in shenzhen one of which is shanghai and one of them is featuring the l. A. Lakers but the industry itself in china is enormous as well kids buy basketball jerseys basketball shoes bags anything branded with the n. B. A. And anything to do with basketball one of the reasons for its popularity is actually the time difference between the United States when the games are broadcast and when the games are shown here theres about a 12 hour time difference and that means that the games are shown predominantly around lunchtimes here in china particularly on saturdays and sundays and that means that its picked up an enormous audience because theres very little all those sports thats being shown on chinese t. V. At that time but here in china the response has been very significant but very very patriotic and very nationalistic the global Times Newspaper which is a state owned newspaper and supports the government has published an editorial this morning saying that china is not being sensitive on this matter it is simply that hong kong is a very serious issue and it does not want it treated lightly it does accuse the United States of hypocrisy by saying the United States is very confident in its rights as far as freedom of speech are concerned but it seems to avoid those rights when for example it comes to talking to india and pakistan about issues with kashmir so a very significant uprising in nationalistic feeling towards china with regard to whats been going on the United States the question is now whether or not this issue can blow over if the general manager of the rockets decides to for example resign or is sacked or whether this could actually continue.
