Earlier demonstrations they also accuse the place of deliberately holding up their response to the assaults. And the hundreds of thousands are album proud on the streets of berlin as the city celebrates its annual pride parade and this year its marking a special anniversary. Im rebecca riches welcome to the Program Police in moscow have arrested more than a 1000 people as they attempted to rally outside the Mayors Office the protestors were demanding free and fair local elections after a rofft of opposition and independent candidates were bought from running in the citys september polls it was one of the biggest clampdowns in recent years on protests against russias tightly controlled political system. A show of force from Moscow Police facing off against an unauthorized demonstration as people took to the streets to demand free minutes of elections one protester after another is arrested. For the people taking part here a sign the authorities in flooded near putins russia fear their dissent could spread. You cannot be indifferent if we dont start with these local moscow elections when will it ever begin russia is a big country and i hope people will see what were doing. And with scenes like these thats what authorities seem determined to prevent as the protests began police stormed the offices of opposition leader. Who had been streaming the demonstration live on the internet they arrested his studio head they also raided internet t. V. Station. And ordered its editor in chief to undergo questioning. For now the strategy appears to be keep the protesters and their anger against the ruling party contained. Correspondent evolution is following that very tense situation in moscow emily tell us whats happening now. Well things seem to be slowly quieting down in the capital but that is probably just because so many people were arrested throughout the day and even into the night there were arrests continuing the Police Presence at the demonstration was really really strong from the beginning there were Police Lining the streets arresting people left and right there were big buses set up to put all the arrested people in to drive them off to the Police Stations several of the candidates that were fighting against the decision not to let them register for the upcoming moscow elections were also arrested and even my colleagues. Who works for our Russian Department he was arrested while he was filming the demonstration on his mobile phone he told police that hes an accredited journalist but they still took him to the Police Station hes now been released. Which is good the police were blocking protesters cordoning off areas pushing people back so really strong moves there from the office or at least still the protesters are showing their defiance just recently one of the candidates has called for a new protest next saturday as well he was then arrested one of the protesters trying to achieve here. So i think the most notable thing for me today rebecca was just how much of a mix there were was of protesters out on the street really young and old and people were really showing despite all the arrests how how strongly they felt about this issue. Of the Upcoming Elections they were chanting for a city in the citys mayor to resign they were chanting this is our city they were chanting all for 1. 00 and 1. 00 for all which is kind of become the rallying cry of this movement of this movement which is really united the opposition here in russia russia which is usually very divided but they also told me that this is really about much much more than moscow they said that everyone in the whole country is looking to moscow now and they need to show that russians are prepared to fight for their democratic rights and just give us a sense of what how much the opposition has in russia. Well thats always really hard to say rebecca what i can tell you is that support for the Ruling United Russia Party is dropping one of the state pollsters this month found that it reached just over 32 percent thats a record low the lowest number that theyve found since 2006 and thats one of the reasons why the United Russia Party candidates are actually running as independents in these upcoming moscow elections they dont want that label even to be attached to them and i think you can really sense that across the country there have been protests about a variety of other issues as well in the north of the country there were protests against a planned garbage dump there were protests against the unpopular pension reform so really dissatisfaction with the ruling party and with the government i think is on the rise and thank you very much. As to hong kong now where hundreds of thousands of protesters faced off with riot police today to find out is to stay high on the demonstration took place in the neighborhood where a violent mob attacked prodemocracy protesters and as well as bystanders last weekend on kong has been rocked by weeks of civil unrest with mass protests calling for a stronger commitment to Democratic Values and up holding the city states autonomy autonomy from Mainland China its going to be a decision. Violence begets violence a quote attributed to civil rights leader Martin Luther king jr is playing out on the streets of Hong Kong Police had banned the protest in advance citing safety concerns but organizers say close to 300000 people turned out Police Fire Tear gas when they refused to disperse several protesters were reported injured police threatened arrests but made none for much of the day demonstrators appeared undeterred. And are for is this important to change hong kong we are too open for what happened last week but thats why were here at the right thats what a mob of men and whites swept through a train station here injuring dozens with clubs and pipes victims included journalists lawmakers and bystanders but the real target appears to be the ones in black prodemocracy protesters. Theyve been rallying for weeks against their governments ties to Mainland China protesters have blamed police for acting too slowly against the mob Violence Police deny the charge saying theyve made arrests including those with suspected ties to try out a chinese gang. That hasnt satisfied the most hardcore protesters as night fell they hunkered down in the train station. Run. Some hurled objects. The Police Ultimately storm the station clearing them out by force. Earlier we spoke to our correspondent and he is billing it hes been following the protests for us we have not seen what most people feared most of these white clad thugs would attack the demonstrators today but we have seen extensive clashes between the police and protesters both sides are hardening more and more more and more protests and in violent clashes this movement is really getting more radical and the police is getting more ready to use force and at an earlier stage of the protests isnt of intervening with massive amounts of chagas driving away the protesters at the bottom of all this is a deep mistrust between the Hong Kong Government and a big part of the population people accuse the government of being of acting on behalf of beijing rather than on behalf of their own population and the government has done little to counter these accusations it has almost not been seen leaving it to the police to deal with these protests these protests are going to continue in this heated up atmosphere in hong kong we are going to see more protests over the next few weeks and chances that they are going to stay peaceful are lower than ever. Date of his beauty is billing a talking to us from hong kong a little earlier lets take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world prosecutors in sudan say i think the tree offices will face charges for attacking a peaceful protest camp in khartoum last month 87 people are said to have died in the incident but civilian opposition say the death toll was much higher demanding an independent investigation.
