Lets go live now to hong kong out zeros way to hades there when whats happening. During its pretty calm scene here outside the Polytechnic University certainly in stark contrast to what we saw unfold over the weekend with hundreds of protesters barricading themselves inside the grounds of the University Behind me and engaging in those long running battles with the police who completely surrounded this sprawling campus the police certainly still here in large numbers it is still cordoned off many roads in the area are still closed and inside there are still some protest as yes as we just heard most of them have gone running away from the scene managing to escape many being arrested some coming out and surrendering peacefully to the police a short time ago within the last couple of hours we had the president of this university go back inside to visit with the remaining protest is trying to negotiate with them to urge them to come out and surrender to the police he was unsuccessful he said there are around a 100 still in there one of the concerns they have he said is that they simply dont trust the police they are worried about what might happen to them when theyre in Police Custody in terms of being beaten or being tortured so he said that he offered to provide some guidance to escort those protest is all the way to the Police Station to try to ensure that that doesnt happen and he was successful and around 100 remain inside the campus behind me a week tomorrow way in the Hong Kong Open Golf Tournament was due to get under way thats now not going to happen. Yes its was due to start on the 28th of november a very prestigious event on the hong kong sporting Events Calendar an event that is organized in part by the european to one of the law just sporting organizations 2 is in the world that has now been postponed that statement coming out a short time ago from the organizers of the hong kong gulf open as a direct result they said all of the on the race that is being taking place for months in hong kong and it is just adrian the latest in a long line of sporting events cultural events that have been canceled or postponed since this on wrist stops it back in june and it will be having a big impact on the economy which is already taking a battering in terms of visitor numbers being down by around 50 percent Hong Kongs International Airport says that at this time of year flight arrivals and down by around 14 percent so it is having a huge impact on the economy of the city the Tourism Sector directly employs almost 300000 people indirectly a lot more so this latest postponement all the major events for hong kong will certainly contribute to those concerns about the economy i was there as when a reporting live from hong kong many thanks were breaking some of chinas ambassador of the allegations that an employee at its consulate in hong kong was tortured simon chang says the Chinese Secret Police beat him deprive him of sleep and chained him up he says they were trying to get information about activists leading the protests in hong kong he was detained for 15 days during a trip to the mainland in August Andrew thomas reports now from beijing. In the Daily Briefing at the Foreign Ministry here in beijing a Spokes Person denied asylum in chains accusations of torture it said that while he was detained in august all his legal rights were guaranteed and it referred to a statement put out by the shans in place back in august when he was detained which essentially said that he was detained for soliciting a prostitute nothing to do with any activity he was or wasnt involved with in hong kong and the Spokes Person at the Foreign Ministry also said that the Chinese Ambassador in london will not be going and seeing britains foreign minister theyll be refusing that invitation if thats the right word at the same time earlier in the day the Foreign Ministry putting out a very strong statement condemning the u. S. Senate for passing this act condemning whats going on in hong kong in beijing saying that this act by the u. S. Senates neglects facts and truth applies double standards and blatantly interferes in Hong Kong Affairs and chinas other internal affairs it goes on to say that the issue hong kong faces is not about human rights or democracy but about stopping violence and chaos and it says that the us senate has what it calls a hidden political agenda and passing this act paints criminal removes as the pursuit of human rights and democracy when the truth is a violent criminal rampantly smashing facilities again this statement aims with a not so veiled threats that china will have to take strong countermeasures to defend our National Sovereignty security and Development Issues if the us insists on making the wrong decision no indication of what those countermeasures might be but the clearest signal possible really both in this statement by the Foreign Ministry and in what theyve said in response to simon chains accusations that these are all internal affairs within hong kong and china more broadly but nothing to do with foreigners. More on those accusations by china of u. S. Interference davids week is managing director of Transnational China Consulting he joins us now live via skype from Hong Kong David good to have you with us is the u. S. Interfering. Whoa our good question to a certain extent sure they are this is internal to China Hong Kong is part of china. You know that china in made comments about the United States domestic politics. Americans would not be pleased on the other hand you know this isnt an International Event it has Global Impact the United States feels that it has the responsibility to speak out on issues of. Human rights and this is about you know this cuts 2 ways in some ways you know china looks at this and i know i emphasize that china looks at this and they really want to try and quell this rebelling its you know that living here its been very difficult the lives of for especially for the last say we could have and china really sees this that they want to try and calm this down and sees this as a kind of throwing oil on fire and just making a bigger flame ok what about the threat of of of counting those ships by chinas difficulty with the ongoing trade war what countermeasures china could could could bring to bear against the u. S. Well i came up with something if i were the chinese i would tell my Tourist Agency to stop Chinese Tourists from going to disneyland. Because thats marco rubios state so just keep them out of florida now i mean that would be one strategy to something which sure is im you know a lot of that would be the but the only thing i can think of theres really not much i think to see gypping does not want to get this involved. You know with the trade he wants to resolve the trade deal on the other hand i dont see President Trump you know President Trump is really much more concerned about the trade deal so i really even even though theres all kinds of screaming and yelling its not just that theres not much that the. Can do instead thing its even more that theres not much then either sides leadership really wants to do about this right now so you think itll have very little effect if any on the us china relations when it stops Hong Kong Police or chinese troops cracking down even harder not a chance you know we just got a new police chief. Not a new police chief if you know this is something as i said this is something that hong kong really feels the Hong Kong Government feels i mean i dont im not very supportive of the Hong Kong Government in terms of the way theyve handled this particularly for mrs lamb but but they really feel that this is something that they need to do they need to to to bring order to society theyve got some sense here that that wouldnt be a bad thing from the population of the protesters still have a significant level of support but i think theyre going to be damned if they law allow the United States to dictate to them how to resolve this so theres this crisis here in the city and if they decide you know if they can get in for example your audience knows that theyve now surrounded the poly universe of the of a little while ago it looked like that could have been a really big pitched battle and if the winds up being a pitch but you know if the if the police cant get in and then have to eventually call in the Peoples Armed police i just think theyre not going to care what the United States government says and and sanctions against individuals out you know i just miss it hes in in a crisis and its going to resolve this crisis and i think the math sense from the beginning when you ask me is this interference by by the United States it certainly doesnt add i dont think it helps the situation in any significant way to really get to talk to many thanks indeed. Thank you for asking my aunt mamie thanks. This is the news hour from up 0 still to come on the program. Guinea how the killing of children has been trading against the president s plans for reelection. Face to face in that 1st t. V. Debate school here the latest arguments as parkins Election Campaign holds up and in sport marrow donor waves could buy to get another managers job russell will be here a little later to explain. Israel says that its fighter jets launched attacks in Syria Warplanes hit Syrian Army Targets at irans quds force in the early hours of wednesday morning according to the Israeli Military syria says that many of the rockets were shot down russia has described israels actions as a wrong move on tuesday israel intercepted 4 rockets launched towards the occupied Golan Heights from syria where the moment will get more in russias reaction from our correspondent in moscow but 1st lets speak to observers and a whole is monitoring developments in beirut to tell us more about what happened overnight. Well adrian it was a wide scale and extensive attack multiple targets multiple locations in and around damascus you mentioned the syrian state media what theyre saying is that they thwarted the attack and that their air defenses shot down a number of missiles but according to the Israeli Military they targeted warehouses arms depots positions belonging to both the iranian could this force which is an arm of the revolutionary guard as well as the Syrian Military now israel has targeted iranian and iranian allied groups in syria for years now but it is quite aware when they target the Syrian Military positions so clearly this is a message to the Syrian Government we hold you responsible because israel is calling this an act of retaliation they are saying. That theyre retaliating to an attack on choose day where they blame the iranians for this force for firing 4 rockets towards the Golan Heights the occupied Golan Heights so israel saying this isnt retaliation but at the same time israeli officials reiterating that they will continue to target iran and syria because they believe their presence is a National Security threat all right said many thanks indeed lets go to moscow then alexander. Is there for us xander whats been the russian response to this israeli operation. Now russia called this israeli missile strikes are wrong a Deputy Foreign minister mr grant of says that it is contrary to International Law and that the elites to escalation of tensions in the region russia said theyre going to conduct all of the sides involved to clarify the circumstances what is not known at this moment is whether israel informed russia before the strikes about what is said to happen we know that since 2015 russia has its troops in syria and russia is involved theyre both in the political and military militarily in syria at the same time iran is good and there are good relations with iran and russia also wants to be keep good relations with israel so for russia this is not an easy situation to be in for example many thanks indeed. A u. S. Military helicopter has crashed in afghanistan killing 2 crew members on board u. S. Commanders in law god province and the Afghan Government are denying taliban claims that the aircraft was shot down. The pentagon is warning that i saw is getting stronger since the u. S. Withdrawal from syria and turkeys offensive in a report it says that those developments have allowed eisel to rebuild its capabilities and resources it also warns that the death of the isolator. Daddy wont slow the resurgence and it says the group is likely to focus on freeing fighters being held by kurdish led forces in syria not a hashimi is director of the center for middle east studies at the university of denver and he says that a stabilizing force is needed to fill the power vacuum in the region. The short term challenge is to try and stabilize this area it was previously stabilized by american troop presence in alliance with Kurdish Forces so now that that arrangement has been. Changed i think thats the immediate i think the pressing challenge is to find some alternative security arrangement that prevents this area from further destabilizing allowing isis to you know insert itself and to reorganize but of course the longer term challenges still remain in these have to do with you know that the social economic and political conditions that produced isis to begin with to have to do with you know authoritarian regimes unemployed young people the lack of hope and also the ideological challenge that isis still poses as a as a movement that can still attract disgruntled young muslim men from around the world so i think those are the you know those are the 2. Immediate imperatives that i think need to be dealt with the deadline for the main rival to israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to form a government expires in less than 12 hours benny gantz is negotiating with other policies his meeting with netanyahu a last ditch attempt to form a unity government has made no progress last month netanyahu also failed to form a government if guns columns do it israel could face a 3rd election and less than a year hoffman is chief Political Correspondent for the Jerusalem Post he joins us now live from the knesset in west jerusalem good i was reading your piece in the Jerusalem Post this morning you wrote that there are 4 possible outcomes here can you take us through them. Well one outcome is we could still have a unity government there still 3 weeks more ordinance you know and many against to settle their differences thats what the majority of people want there is a possibility that today by that that line of midnight if the big early remain the former foreign minister and defense minister and real king makers. I decided Minority Coalition involving the support of arab descent numbers is whats best i would oust and its in you know that can happen today its also possible well the movement will decide to go with his ideology and not allow a right wing government under it to now without gets to before and if all of that fails after another 22. 00 days of internal bickering we could go to the election in march our 3rd election under a year which is what no one wants or id kill the runes for us which do you think is more likely. Like ive been saying all along that were not going to go to an election i dont think the people of israel will tolerate that its sick and tired of politics we dont want to be like england we dont want to be like the United States with their hybrid polarization. We need to be getting back to business theres enough security challenges and also an attempt to make the jump administrations is going to be leading into the focus really needs to be on that from now on if we end up with a Minority Coalition would not be a recipe for chaos. Look theres a minority government to a lot of countries around the world right now including canada and in the sea too much chaos in canada and what there would be you would be no more and its in you know it would be an attempt to get on with him after 10 years in showers the longest serving Prime Minister that weve got it israel theres enough and of an alliance around that. They would be able to govern quite happily and if theres a right Wing Coalition would netanyahu be able to want to remain Prime Minister with all thats hanging over his head right now. Look theres going to be a decision by the attorney general on his 3 cases next week and though that will go a long way toward deciding how long its you know will be able to continue to govern and the one thing thats pretty ironic about a right to publish this is the Peace Process can move forward but you know its very close with donald trump. That plan will be revealed very soon and that is where the focus would end up being with netanyahu still in power ironically he could still allow there to be a Peace Process. That could change things in the middle east completely really gets to go off on that chief Political Correspondent for the Jerusalem Post. A senior u. S. Diplomat whos emerged as an important witness in the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump is to testify in public for the 1st time Gordon Sunland is the u. S.

In guinea but on the march to the monde the police stop killing children taking part in protests many youngsters have joined the revolt against plans to change the constitution which would allow the aging president to seek reelection the tour again can be reports. That banners and plaque on show the faces of boys and young men who they say were killed by police during protests against president alpha conde the mothers have one message for the president who they accuse of wanting to hold on to power for a 3rd term. And we are here to tell alpha conde to stop killing our children enough is enough he has to go we dont want to be in power forth to to continue killing our children. And they say they used force after protesters threw stones at them during violent confrontations relatives of 12 year old mammy do who shot dead last week say that use of force was disproportionate. They want to kill us they kill our children when theyre in bed when they go to school when they play we will be on the shrieked until after condi leaves office. For more than a month that thousands of people have been marching through the capital conakry week after week angry about a possible constitutional change that they say will push me into a dictatorship. In 5 we are here once again to protest against the killing of our children in the prime of their lives a little over 10 days ago we recorded nearly 8 deaths before about 11 this is an acceptable. 81 year old conde 1st came to power in 2010 it with gagnes 1st democratic election after more than 50 years of mostly military rule since its independence from france in 1958. These protest is 10 years of can days government is enough victory a gay to be aljazeera. In bolivia at least 3 people have been killed in a security operation aimed at ending a blockade on a major fuel plant by supporters of the former president every one of us the demanding the return of the leftist leader after he resigned earlier this month amid massive protests but on his was accused of rigging octobers president ial election but he and supporters say that hes the victim of a coup. In chile police say that theyll stop using birdshot pellets against protesters at least for the moment the suspension follows an admission by president sebastian and yet of that Security Forces have committed abuses hes promised to punish those who are guilty of his interest not all right below reports from santiago. On monday thousands took to the streets in sheilas capital santiago protesters commemorated one month since the unrest began nationwide but demonstrations like these are taking place almost every day across cheap. So are incidents involving police using violent tactics to disperse crowds and their lives and it would not be good at seo simplicity and the level of violence of this government without president theres almost a pandemic of people who have lost their eyes or have been left want not only that there are people who have been tortured or have disappeared its almost like a dictatorship under democracy. This ongoing crackdown by Security Forces against demonstrators has become one of the biggest sources of anger among protesters were in place i tell you i would see lower police just employ tear gas once again against peaceful demonstrators and its these tactics that people are. And reforming the countrys Security Forces is just one of the many constitutional changes that protesters are demanding. She lay in president. Has admitted to the use of Excessive Force by police. Unfortunately and despite the Firm Commitment and all the precautions we take not only the government but also our forces and police to protect the human rights of all in some cases the protocols were not respected there was excessive use of force abuses or crimes were committed. In an effort to calm the unrest Public Officials have announced that a referendum to establish a Constitutional Convention will be forthcoming. This is a historic opportunity for chileans who for the 1st time will have a chance to write their own constitution this is what the people want and they dont want Political Parties deciding what is written in essence this is nothing more and nothing less and the creation of a new chilean republic. Measures by the government to change the president s cabinet and hold a constitutional referendum have done little to calm dissent. Near the front lines of mondays protests the scene was chaotic protesters armed with slingshots and rocks were met with tear gas and rubber bullets several people were injured amidst the chaos i was the most part the protests marking 4 weeks of unrest were mostly a celebration although the consensus among chileans is that theres still a long way to go. The organization of american states says the political instability and human rights abuses a damaging democracy in nicaragua hundreds of people have been killed jailed or forced into exile since protests against president Daniel Ortega began in april last year opponents wanted to step down and allow elections weeks of antigovernment protests in iraq.

As protesters digging their heels in downtown baghdad nearby businesses face a struggle of their own traders near Tahrir Square have found themselves on the front lines between Security Forces and demonstrators this Hardware Store and another were burned down in recent unrest staff are still sorting through charred merchandise because the antiriot forces were on top of the buildings they targeted them the 2 shops that belong to us this one and that one would burned we were able to extinguish the fire as you can see it all turns to ash. Surveillance video from adjacent buildings shows protesters throwing petrol bombs the shop is insured but it will take time to rebuild in the meantime shop employees worry about how theyll support their families and then of course. We had daily labor is this is a livelihood if i work 2 or 3 days at a fixed man. Its not just the businesses around Tahrir Square that are feeling the pinch port and road closures in southern iraq have stifled trade analysts fear the uncertainty stemming from the protests could have long term adverse effects on the economy. Political stability is an essential part of the Investment Climate i believe that these problems will lead businesses to think practically and to transfer their investment to other countries the partial internet shutdown has head but it does budding Online Business community. Is iraqs main Online Food Delivery company but revenues have dropped more than half since the recent protests began. To tell about an obligation depends greatly on the internet if the situation continues like this we dont think we can continue for the next 2 or 3 months i dont believe will be able to cover the salaries. The lack of jobs is what started the protests in the 1st place but now the economy appears even worse off demonstrators say that whatever the cost of the unrest its nothing compared to what has been lost at the corruption and a small price to pay in the interest of bringing about larger change the monopole teen aljazeera. Bahraini dissidents has made a formal complaint to police in britain he says that staff of bahrains embassy tried to murder him by pushing him off the roof of the building lawrence lee reports from. If the bahraini authorities harbored any hope that mussa mohammeds campaign against them was over then they were wrong because here he was at a Police Station in Central London entering the formal complaint that staff working at their embassy in london had tried to murder him it was in late july the mohammed climbed up to the top of the embassy roof to protest against the imminent executions of 2 Anti Government activists in the gulf states. Footage from the ground shows him apparently being beaten with sticks on the edge of the roof he claims the diplomatic staff tried to push him off the roof and then out of view began the process of trying to kill him inside the embassy mohammed says at the point when the Police Forced entry to the embassy to calm the situation they saw him on the ground being assaulted. To help. And then i so i saw the police the cam on that awful blame and mysie and the 111. Of the. Officers came to me and said to me more say you are not you are you are safe now we are with you here all this footage is now in the hands of the police so to presumably the testimonies of the officers who my hermit says saved his life his legal team say the meeting with the police went well and that they are determined to investigate it but they also know full well that Embassy Staff have diplomatic immunity which means they can be prosecuted and anyway if they disappeared off to bahrain that we almost no chance of getting them back the other thing they dont know is whether any one of the Foreign Office in london has asked the bahrain is what they were doing some had on the night in question i believe the British Government at this is stage should be summoning they were there and the question him about this this incident. Which is supposed to be the response of. Person on what happened on that night i dont recall any serious questions of from the Foreign Office we expect them to take them very serious for the police the whole thing is something of a diplomatic minefield having offended the bahrain is by knocking down the door of the embassy theyre now being asked to call for the prosecution of diplomatic staff on charges of attempted murder the whole thing is as much political as it is criminal largely al jazeera lunde.
