Protesters and by at least one live shot and the authorities sending lucy cannon for the 1st time since the protests to get. Time havent humphrey glad you could join me while the leaders at the g. 7 summit have spent the day grappling with everything from forest fires in the amazon to fighting terrorism in africa they did manage to reach consensus on those topics there was little tangible progress on some of the thorniest issues. Getting down to business the days 1st session focused on the thorny issues of trade the World Economy and security. But sundays 1st tangible achievement came after a meeting with African Leaders with the unites meant of a new plan to help countries in the saddle region fight terrorism. Today its clear the situation is urgent this is a race against terrorism we cannot say right now that the security situation is Getting Better therefore we must act quickly germany is very invested in this Important Initiative and we will dedicate the full breadth of our resources to it. Under the plan g. 7 nations will help african countries strengthen their police and Security Forces g 7 leaders also said they were nearing a deal to help brazil tackle forest fires raging in the amazon but there was little sign of progress on the key issue of trade i launched the 7 allies have so far failed to persuade us President Donald Trump to ditch terrorists in his escalating trade war with china on the other major Sticking Point of iran summit host Emmanuel Mccall had a surprise up his sleeve the Iranian Foreign minister Mohammed Javert serif flew into beiruts for talks as macron tried to deescalate tensions over tehrans Nuclear Ambitions afterwards sorry for tweeted the road ahead is difficult but worth trying. But its not clear whether president macro will be able to calm the deepening troubles between iran and the u. S. Since trump pulled out of a landmark nuclear deal. As the summit 2nd day true to a close President Trump had still not budged on waiting sanctions on iran as fellow g 7 leaders had hoped. And did have recourse when it gave matters is at the g. 7 summit in beirut respecting a short while ago and often about that surprise visit by the Iranian Foreign minister. French officials here said they had positive discussions and we know from german chancellor Angela Merkel that serif was invited on the French Initiative but in light off the deposit of discussions that leaders had last night here a over dinner everyone agreed that the tensions with iran should be east and that message was passed on to the Iranian Foreign minister prison my comment up with him even before the summit they met met again today and the reigning foreign minister himself concluded that its a tough road ahead but its worth a try ok ok how realistic is it that michaels efforts to deescalate the situation will walk its been of course a surprise move here by my call but its a way if you want a smart move to show the president of the United States that dialogue is possible that you can talk to the iranians it is a right has been a so far as the closest step to resolve this this diplomatic deadlock ever since the u. S. Walked away from the iran Nuclear Course and the 1st full day of the summit is wrapping up as it didnt receive and one of the main takeaways from today. Well lets start with world trade what is something the g 7 is particularly known for there was a moment of hope here really when president on the trump talked about 2nd thoughts and regrets looking at the escalation of the relations with china but then the white house corrected it and said it was a misinterpretation actually what the president meant was lets say to poor a more oil into the fire rather than less so slap tougher sanctions on china bad use for the other 6 member state heads of state here at the she 7 table but news also for Boris Johnson who had to acknowledge today that the prospect of a cracks a deal was touch and go and so the only really tangible result that came out was a new deal on the hill zone 5 states in africa will get money and training for military forces in order to fight terrorism and in a way that is why michael has put this on the agenda knowing that there is so such such big rifts on the big topics of trade on that on iran that he broadens the agenda to an extent that some positive news will come out and those positive news are today that this that particularly germany and france are ramping up their security efforts in africa gag matters for us in paris thanks don. Well lets get you up zain now and some of the other stories making news around the walt president my call francaise the g. 7 has agreed to help countries affected by the wildfires raging in the amazon rain forest as fast as possible brazils right wing president has begun deploying tens of thousands of troops to deal with the blazes. Germanys present my has officially osc italy for forgiveness for war crimes committed in northern tuscany in 1944 soldiers of the nazi regime brutally murdered about 400 people in the village of sun or 75 years ago at a commemoration ceremony spoke out against nationalism and racism.

Well violence has flared in hong kong once again after prodemocracy activists took to the streets for a 12th straight weekend the protests started at the beginning of a summer when hong kongs chief executive proposed a controversial extradition bill that was later shelved but the movement has since expanded to demand hong kongs independence from china and for the 1st time since protests broke out a gunshot ran out. On the barricades wearing hard hats and gas masks the protesters held rocks and bricks at riot police the offices responded with rounds of tear gas. The clashes continued into the evening protesters. Attacked the police with rods and sticks the demonstrates his chase the officers down the street calling them gangsters and then this. Sounds like a gunshot a local t. V. Station said its report a story Uniformed Police officer fire shots in the air i was was we had thing a low in violence like this on the streets of hong kong up until this weekend this time last week protests organizers say 1700000 people marched peacefully through the streets of hong kong this weekend withing a very different atmosphere protest to say they changed tactics because they felt the government was not listening. To the people with the people who did their very peaceful protests by the government this will be small and thats why we go to go on the street there and maybe some poor. Thing that we brought the road thats why the boy that fired the tear gas and i and i just want. To know or guys are bearing grief yeah. It seems the police are also changing tactics in response for the 1st time whose account ends rolled through the streets threatening to drench the protesters who are. The police have arrested more than 700 people since protests began in june more protests as a risking arrest to make their voices heard. Now one reason protest is it took to the streets of hong kong this weekend was the mistrust of a new style of lampposts that has sprung up across the city now these lampposts are equipped with Surveillance Technology and knowledge to have links to chinese tech firms and on saturday protesters used to have the tricks to cut through at least one. I was to bring it to the ground beef it was equipped with facial recognition timers that could be used by norm for us mint the Hong Kong Government said that the 50 socalled smart lighting polls were put in place to collect data on traffic and weather but many that the government is not telling the whole truth. And our report on me and he said has been looking into the control the sea surrounding these lampposts for us i mean protest us think that the government is using these posts to spy on people what evidence do they have well there was controversy surrounding these lamppost when they were 1st introduced in the spring because theyre actually full of Data Collecting Technology thats their purpose the government says the technology is only being used to track traffic pollution whether things like this but the protesters obviously dont trust them especially in a time right now and beijing for example is very interested in who are out there on the streets so when they cut down this poll as we saw earlier live physically taking it right to the ground they were able to break open the casement there and look whats inside there and have a look but get their hands on and see for themselves and what they did theres nothing super surprising that the government had said was in there but they were able to take pictures and post it online which has created a lot of speculation about what these devices actually are what their function is one of the devices that caused the most controversy was actually a b. L. U. Locator you can see it here right now its a device that allows the system to track Bluetooth Devices so if you are walking by you have your cell phone on and your bluetooth is turned on then the lamppost would know that youre there and could recognize you yeah could even possibly see that its your phone and identify you which is easier than facial Recognition Technology actually and after it was put on line people speculated that the company that made it to tech tech actually has links to xing Shanghai Based Company which would be Mainland China this is alleged anyway and have we heard any response from the hong kong. And then well the Hong Kong Government maintains as they had before that none of this technology is being used to identify protesters i think this they have the technology in there but they said theyve restricted it but actually now that these devices have created controversy online they actually issued a statement about this b. L. U. Locator saying that the allegations that it was linked to a Mainland ChinaTechnology Company are false that the company is local small enterprise based in hong kong from from hong kong has and the that means theyre implying that the data is not going to be sent to beijing for further analysis im sober a few then i suppose the question is is there actually any evidence that the Hong Kong Government may be hiding something well thats not so different from what you might find in new york city or even in berlin but it depends on how much you trust the Hong Kong Government as you can see right now that the protesters dont trust them at all times indeed on the a. B. C. Of thank you very much indeed thank you. While youre watching the news coming up next is the brand as leader with nick mechanic on d.
