Police deny any link. The allegation that we as high in our arrest is totally false. Deeds the public all the events every weekend in the past of 2 months or. So making the arrest today does not make any implication basically millions of people have joined the protest since they began in june over a controversial extradition bill violence has escalated in recent weeks police have deployed rubber bullets batons and tear gas while protesters have thrown rocks and molotov cocktails last Weekend Police used water cannon for the 1st time over 850 people have been arrested but protesters are vowing to continue with an expanded list of demands including democratic elections an independent inquiry into the Police Response and dropping charges against all those arrested since the movement has no official leader as activists say that high profile detentions will not stop them when the government go hard we go hard so the hong kong people are seeing really clearly so we urge the government please respond to the 5 the mines as soon as possible although.

Germanys far right Political Party a f t or alternative for germany is expected to school big gains in 2 state elections coming up on sunday now in saxony the f. T. Is polling just behind the center right c. D. U. The party of Angela Merkel and things look even worse for the governing party in a brandenburg the social democrats now will speak to our correspondent in just a moment but 1st this report on the Political Landscape in the key states of saxony and brenda book. 2 eastern german states are going to the polls and the federal government is holding its breath as the surge of the far right populist a. F. D. C. Could really shake things up saxony dresden is the capital germanys eastern most state has about 4000000. 00 residents and is doing rather well economically with the Auto Industry and high tech but saxony has also developed a thriving rightwing scene a year ago right wing extremists occupied the streets of chemists for days Violent Crime motivated by right wing extremism is that a record high. Saxony is governed by a grand coalition of center right c. D. U. And center left s. P. D. On the party the c. D. U. Has led the government here since german reunification it may remain the Largest Party but is said to lose votes especially to the far right populist a. F. D. And state premier may struggle to put together a new coalition. Im a democrat im against a minority government ive also said i wont coalesce with the f. T. Or the left party for reasons of policy and personnel the rest of us will have to be able to talk to each other and be able to form a government as democrats. Brandenburg potsdam is the capital the state surrounds berlin and has about 2500000 inhabitants brandenburg is also doing well economically if it werent for the lignite problem the mining apparatus may grind to a halt soon germany plans to phase out the coal industry which many people here rely on for a livelihood in brandenburg the s. P. D. Has also been in power since reunification its currently in coalition with the left party but surveys suggest that its unlikely that the 2 parties can continue to govern together for my work flat out for 161820 hours a day so that the far right populist dont become the most powerful party here strikes across the s. P. D. And the a. F. D. Are neck and neck in brandenburg but the far right populists are unlikely to take power none of the other parties wants to join a coalition with them for years the a. F. D. Has benefited from feelings of insecurity and of being neglected in the east it has taken on the slogans of the Civil Rights Movement in former communist east germany Berlin Grand Coalition partners the c. D. U. And the s. P. D. Especially are looking to the state elections with apprehension the s. P. D. Is suffering from dwindling support and membership. And the cd you is no longer getting through to their core voters in the east not a good sign for under the magical grand coalition. The likely winners of the state elections apart from the f. T. Will be the greens theyre forecast to get record results in both saxony and brandenburg. With just 2 days to go until those state elections i want to bring in our chief Political Editor michelle a kershner shes in the state of brandenburg for us in the small city of conics vista hausen a keen eye on the final days of the a f t s campaign how confident are the right wing populists of winning this election. Well even if they dont become the Strongest Party theyre pretty confident that they will be the overall winner because they look set to be on a par at the very least with the social democrats here in brandenburg whove basically governed this region for the past 3 decades since german reunification so at the very least they expect some kind of symbolic victory but if they beat the social democrats already pretty much crumbling in berlin that could deal the social democrats a real blow that would have ripple effects right into the heart of angloamerican socalled grand coalition with them now the top candidate in brandenburg where you are has made headlines here in germany for a number of weeks now of course because of his supposed contact with radical neo nazis tell us more about that. Yes he basically bit by bit admits to having been present at streamers to use counts and the latest debate was sparked when there was evidence that he was not as publicly believed only there in 2007 but already back in 1993 and what is becoming clearer and clearer is that he does actually have a very long history of having been in the right wing extremist scene so no surprise that he will appear on the stage thats just being set up behind me 2 days together and hooker who is the leader of the extreme right wing of the alternative for germany and has that influence the Election Campaign would you say. Well the Election Campaign has been very bruising there is a different tone in german politics and see if he entered parliament in 2017 and if the if he was to actually become Strongest Party in either of the 2 states the more likely one would be brandenburg it would certainly be the op incoming Political Force to be reckoned with but of course a far cry from actually governing because nobody wants to go into a coalition with them and if anything the german political scene is getting more and more fragmented not least because of the presence of the f. T. I mean talking about that scene do you think the other parties are nervous about the f. T. At the moment all parties are nervous essentially you see the other democratic parties here in germany being agreeing on one thing at the very least they certainly want to give as little ground and as little voters as possible to the far right who some consider to be far right extremist briefly here how could these Election Results affect Angela Merkels government. Well if the social democrats get more than the expected slap in the face if they are crossed particularly in saxony then that could have an effect on the s. P. D. In berlin and could set off a chain of events that could bring down on grammatical self declared final term in office our chief Political Correspondent had a cure for us in brandenburg good to talk to thank you. To latin america now on the struggle to deal with high rates of violence against women there in some countries more than 50 percent of married women say that they also vives of violence perpetrated by their husbands now one city in northern mexico is responding with special police teams. Visited syria that white is on the u. S. Border and sent us this report. That. Is a policewoman in the Mexican Border city of what is. Shes part of a special task force designed to eliminate Domestic Abuse but im going to respond to emergency calls we get at least a dozen of them in a single shift short of. The 1st order of the day is interviewing witnesses. Has a 1000000 residents and the highest rates of violence against women in all of mexico over 100 women were murdered here last year alone and yet he suffered Domestic Violence at the hands of her exboyfriend so she has a special sensibility toward other abuse survivors such as this 15 Year Old Girl whose partner is 17. With this gift of everyone with argued about his behavior hes very aggressive suddenly he started beating me up pulling my hair and strangling me. By the time and yelling and her colleagues arrived hes long gone the officers cant arrest the offender but they take time to talk with the survivors making sure their children are safe and explaining the womens legal rights. Here. We have to make it clear to the women that theyve just experienced a crime that they are victims of a cycle of violence in their families and that they need psychological attention to help them get out of the situation. Its our job to empower than. Those employed outlook besides identifying suspects and he advises women who want to report their husbands to the police every day. Women under threat in what is can also turn to a leader. Who founded a shelter for those fleeing Domestic Abuse. 11 women are currently living here with their children. Also feel that the women here simply exercising their legal rights by seeking prosecution and was seen in by west but some investigations can take up to 6 years that means offenders are free to commit violence against women in that time. I want to move it meanwhile and he is preparing for her next shift as a policewoman she always hopes to prevent the worst but she cant always do that somewhere in juarez a woman is murdered every other day. Youre watching t w news still to come a return to some of the wildly ancient treasures destroyed by the socalled Islamic State an exhibition in germany aims to much here preserve cultural sites that have been flattened and show how. Sports now on the board is legal we can kicks off tonight with a clash between 2 of germanys european contenders mentioned blood back and all the lights they can join a nation discuss that game and the rest of the football news is Dave Bronczek from. Good to see you know dave tell us what can we expect from this friday game yeah i think for my money its probably going to be the best of the whole weekend as you mentioned there are 2 european contenders so there are really 2 top teams that are going to be battling it out and leipzig theyve had a really fantastic start to the season theyve proved to be really dangerous they demolished you know in berlin and beat frankfurt in their opening matches so i think them facing off against were in the Europa League should be really a test for them where they can prove whether or not they should be taken seriously as a possible title contender because people are really talking about them as maybe maybe being good enough to push dortmunder buyer so i think the friday match will tell us a bit about that to plenty on the line an exciting one tonight i mean elsewhere of course have got buy in making headlines that would be news that president. Is set to go november why did he quit yeah i mean honestly its a bit of a bombshell and the timing of it was a bit of a surprise in 2014 he went to prison for tax evasion and hes only been out 3 years since then he immediately went back to his post as president so it seems a bit odd to go through all that to work your way back and then to give it up but he mentioned a couple reasons spending time with this family he also thought it was an opportune time to bring in his replacement habit heiner who is the c. E. O. And also he mentioned being booed at last years annual general meeting as one of the contributing factors towards this decision lets hear what he had to say about it. I must admit that the events at the a. G. M. Last year made me think for the 1st time about what would happen if i was no longer in the role. Because it was decisive but it just gave me something to think about. With. Now sorry from a while that stretch in prison which you did mention and is actually spent Something Like half a century in by in one capacity or another which is really quite extraordinary i mean how much of a loss will that be then for the german champions yeah as you say hes been there so long its really hard to imagine byron without them hes kind of like mr byron in a lot of ways he personifies them hes brash a bit arrogant but he always managed to back that up with success and he was a true driving force between urban and then being so dominant in his entire time there so its really hard to know what theyre going to look like without him but of course its also going to take quite a bit of time for us to really see you know whether the club change in direction without him and what the look like for now its kind of the same old byron they just resigned robert live in dosti they have tons of expensive new signings to work him so i think for the short term at least theyre going to be the good old byron we all know and love.

Its very important to show off to people of very shape and on of our side to cover the. Who are there and if they have no problem to destroy and destroy. The most fabulous shards of the war. Its a painful exhibition for many its here that the extent of the destruction is made clear. World heritage sites within reach. As well it just feels spooky there is strictly looking at this its horrible how Something Like this can happen in this day and age. Does it as a human catastrophe. As if somehow horrible but you also get the feeling being in the middle of it that youre right there so you may zing off. The projections raise awareness of this fragile cultural heritage. And prompt questions about its future. So keep however the exhibition also gives hope it also gives the political hope that cultural sites like these can be in politics reconstructed thanks to these possibilities and technologies for them. Whether these structures can actually be rebuilt one day this is a question that can only be answered in peace time.
