Successfully lifts off unmanned spacecraft is heading to trash land on a mission that could see india becoming the 4th mission to land to probe on the lunar surface. To plant it and another big win for ukraines president volume is that in ski spotting teams and outright majority after sundays parliamentary elections. I dont welcome im a bit touchy man good to have your company. A 7th straight weekend of antigovernment protests in hong kong has descended into violence the demonstrations began peacefully as tens of thousands protested against an unpopular extradition bill they fear will erode the citys autonomy as protest is headed for the office of Chinas Communist Party police fired on them or drop of bullets and tear gas and in a new development suspected members of criminal gangs attacked demonstrators. It was a vicious assault gangs of men all dressed in white attacking antigovernment protesters on their way home from another huge demonstration. The brutal attack was life streamed on social media showing journalists as well as protesters being beaten as the men rampage through a subway station and onto trains. I didnt know when i saw somebody bleeding all over the floor in front of me i tried to drag him away but they wouldnt let me where i had all sorts of weapons and i came over and attacked me to. An opposition lawmaker he was injured claims triad gangsters suggesting the shadowy criminal network was intervening in support of the chinese government. As the dozens of injured received Treatment Police finally arrived on the scene and work used by witnesses of taking more than an hour to get there despite frantic calls for help so far no arrests have been made on monday hong kongs probating leader carry out condemned the attack we absolutely do not hold all that sort of violent acts and our levy laden spirit but rules is not a solution to any problem above all else but only 3 more albums. But other pro china nor makers focused back on their nation on the antigovernment protesters who threw eggs and paint at Chinas Hong Kong liaison office. Once again protesters clashed with police well into the night. Such and should be severely condemned and i think these rebels who look almost all these provocative actions or 2 shoes the dont make the relationship between social couple and cold but it is the closeness of that relationship that prodemocracy protesters are worried about that concerns have expanded beyond the controversial extradition bill as fears grow that democratic freedoms are being eroded fears that will only be stoked by the unchecked intervention of suspected criminal gangs. Joining me now is a phoebe kong phoebe resource of a disturbing images of masked men beating up protestors do we know who they are. Yes do it clear that what their exact identities are given that there is no one addressed the so far into now and the police chief said during the past briefing just now saying that they are still investigating the case and they provide no further details because this expresso were not clear about the chad and it is hard to mosman that there are skeptics suggesting that they may be related to gangs or even try society in june long because that is a place where the gangs often get very often so also a probation lawmaker is suspected to be related to this mans because he because he appears by and get in touch with those mosque men right before the attack so there is no further details but i think we have to wait for the investigation of the police and to lay everything we are getting clear and to watch what demands of the activists leaders making now and who their protests directed at hong kongs leaders directly at beijing. Some of them do turn to beijing as to target off the demonstrations us we have seen some of them they demonstrated in front of the beijing lace in office in pubs in hong kong they expressing their anger too was the long standing interference into hong kong Domestic Affairs so this is one of the target but the majority of the protesters and also from home people then now more angry with the the handling of the Hong Kong Government and the Hong Kong Police force that went how they handle the clashes over the past few weeks especially last night so this is the main reason which trick of the ngo off the hong kong people that are still they are asking for. A top leadership to take her responsibility and to step down to be responsible for. Responsible for all the clashes and all the controversies happening over the past few weeks. In hong kong thank you very much for that update from there. India successfully launched an unmanned spacecraft to the far side of the moon the chandra a onto what took off from the southeast havent space center to cheers from thousands of onlookers the launch had been delayed for a week to a Technical Glitch the children on 2 carries an overturned lander and drove it to travel for 2 months before the lander the crim touches down on the moon near its south pole a robotic drover cord. Will then spend 14 days collecting mineral and chemical analysis the mission is a major step forward in indias efforts to become a space suit. Up to now one of the United States russia and china have landed spacecraft on the moon. Joining me now from delhi is roger. Pollan shes the head of the nuclear and Space Policy Initiative a few Observer Research foundation thats a think tank based in the indian capital welcome not a big moment for india and its Space Program what did you feel when you saw somebody on to lift off today. Now i think this is been an exciting moment not just far the indian space for such Organization India as a whole but also for the whole this is become such a prestigious moment because there has been a global attention ever since u. S. Came into office he talked about going back to the moon there have been other countries such as india russia china and japan who have been trying to go back to the on the more now. That has undertaken couple of impressive my shows that it landed on the far side of the moon earlier this year or in the beginning in june generally 2 years ago it landed on the u. S. Side of the border so there have been quite a bit of attention even to domestic to do the more and more missions but also broaden out to space itself has seen quite a bit of excess energy she vent could be that i expect the actual landing to take place in much of the trickiest box off of this mission. So the landing itself is going to take plays a vital 45. 00 days from now so on this september 1st speaks up to the 6th or 7th. To the pitted band actually live that. Will land there and then you have the trickiest of the 10. 00 off of our then it can actually into the earth do not operate and i think thats going to be the morse to keep part of the old mission this was a Tricky Mission in the 1st spot and. Separates from the from the rocket itself that this happened now it can be bought and be what he called it all at spotting on. A couple of new us for us for the next few weeks and before it gets on to the lunar orbit and i think thats going to be the next. Mission that is the major milestone for the mission in a sense and of course landing the soft landing because even the landing is very tricky because even the landing the place where to land will be decided only a few moments before its actually. Landing so its a very complex and very Difficult Mission and this is the most complex mission that india has undertaken for the flows down landing on and on to other still so phase. And that was a transition to be laid out to compile and hand off than you can fish fun to see initiative. Foundation in delhi. Now to some other stories making news around the world there on says its identified and captured 17 iranian nationals it claims are working aspies for the american cia Iranian State television has reported that some of those taken into custody have already been sentenced to death us president has said the allegations were totally fords. A suicide car bombing in the somalian capital mogadishu has killed at least 17 people and injured dozens more the militant Group Alshabaab says it carried out the blast which targeted a busy checkpoint near the airport the group has been trying to topple somalias government for more than a decade. Totally constricted the streets of the cab to the sound one to vent their anger at the refusal of gov to cargo it was a 2 design has been under pressure to step down after the publication of sexist and homophobic Text Messages exchanged by him and his team he had already promised not to run for reelection next year. In the philippines thousands of antigovernment protesters marched outside the house of representatives in money into their president or decoder dead jay was delivering his state of the nation address they were calling for detail to to step down over his controversial policies including a brutal Anti Drugs Campaign despite International Criticism detectives remain spock at home. Now to create a real present the only real party claims one an absolute majority following sundays parliamentary election if confirmed the result would be the best any party has achieved new cranes post soviet history zelinsky course snap elections after his landslide president ial run in april because final and was dominated by his opponents he wants a parliamentary majority so he can push through promised reforms. And fight against corruption. Only i spoke on an economy in the you created capital kiev i asked him what selenski having actually majority would need for. A Foreign Policy and the difficult balance of relations between the west and russia well i think obviously a very strong position in any kind of in session negotiation he has shown that he has a large part of ukraine behind him that is one thing but i dont think were going to see any quick. Baring of the hatchet with russia there was a party vote for that was suggesting just that run by a personal friend of travel to russia during the Election Campaign they came in 2nd place on 1213 percent way below what parties got in the past so i think what this really means is that. Well try to come good on his promise of doing. People in that conflict but. Isnt really ready to give him the powers to compromise or to have to really offer any kind of concessions to the kremlin so i think well see a change of tone but on the substance i think well see very little movement.
