Time caching education and climate policy. And once thought thailand after juice is nothing as the u. S. Conference of diversification draws to a close in india we look at the problems and the possible solutions of them was. Advancing to. The iranian judo athlete one of the best in the watch received asylum in germany he defined iran in the past 2 years by competing in the World Championships there worried he might have had to fight against an israeli opponent good job you have seen to me and. Im. Riparian for another weekend of demonstrations but increasingly prodemocracy activists are coming up with in of the 2 ways of protesting peacefully they include singing and you have to come over the past few days activists and ordinary citizens have converged and shopping malls to sing laurie to hong kong the. Least Peaceful Demonstrations have been a rest bite from recent violent clashes which have seen the arrest of hold in a 1000 People Police have charged around 150. 00 of them with various offenses and the trials are due to begin soon as he is willing or reports some of those charged face lengthy prison sentences to shorten your hong kongs legislature has been a hot spot of the antigovernment protests daniel chan has spent a lot of time here but that could change soon daniel not his real name was arrested and charged with rioting in july he faces up to 10 years behind bars now about a logical halted the moment i was arrested i was very calm i was thinking about what i needed to do in a situation but when i was told what the charges were it felt like i was entering another world. Hong kong has some of the most draconian Assembly Laws in the world some of them have rarely been applied until now but since the protests began authorities have brought the full force of these laws to bear daniel denies having been involved in any violence. Im too much of a coward to get into fighting and i dont want to be beaten i also dont want to stand there and do nothing so i went to the front line and to help those who were tear gassed and i helped them wash their eyes out with saving solution 43. 00 others were arrested the day daniel was detained or have been charged with writing the most severe offense on the books it is the most people facing such charges since hong kong was returned to china in 1997 the British Government established the laws to quell anticolonial unrest but they remained in place after the handover then a squawk a lawmaker who represents the Legal Professions in the legislature says the charges are politically motivated if one is to look at these cases. Impartially i think im sure you would find that a lot of these charges are not supported by evidence and they were made up charges and done to scare people hoping that they would be deterred from going out. In a statement to d. W. The department of justice denies Political Considerations it insists prosecutors would act fairly and impartially daniel chan is not convinced but i gotta tell you. That i try not to think too much about the possibility that i might go to prison for the next decade. The way i would rather focus on what i can do to support the movement. To worry about the sentence will just demoralize me. Something thats hot. This trial is scheduled for the end of this month but whatever the outcome might be the Government Strategy has already had an impact since july daniel hasnt taken part in any more protests. And that report by many still in hong kong they are still earlier with the protest is now thinking twice about taking to the streets knowing that they could also face serious challenges all these strategies of deterrence be that these charges these harsh charges against the protesters be it the threat to invade with the military police from china all these strategies of teachers have not worked in hong kong of course many hong kong do not dare to go to these are an authorised protests for fear of being arrested or having trouble but there is still a huge number of people who go and who know that they face a lot of trouble but who still go the interesting thing is that almost no protests the things that they have a chance to push and of their demands or maybe at least to push leg political reform through this is something that is very unlikely and the reason why the protesters continue to protest is because there is a fear that once they stop there would be a revenge beijing would take its revenge more people would be charged so the protest basically is the protesters keep taking to the streets in order not to show weakness and to keep this going on hoping that there will not be a backlash but with little hope that they can through achieve their demands. Not just mathias the reporting from hong kong to the u. S. Now where the Democratic Party has held its round of primary debates in the long purses to decide who will take on president. In the 2020 elections it was the 1st time the leading candidates were all on one stage together and it soon became apparent they were stock logical differences among the contend with the speeches he had about to see are going to see off a. B. C. News. Tapes of a fast time in these democratic primaries front runner moderate joe biden faced his 2 main challenges progressives and as opposed to warren and Bernie Sanders in the United States of america we are spending twice as much per capita on health care as the canadians or any other major country on earth this is America Europe and america so want to pay twice as much as other countries and they guarantee health care for all people we all owe a huge debt to president obama who fundamentally transformed health care in america and committed this country to our thank you. And now the question is how best can we improve on it and i believe the best way we can do that is we make sure that everybody gets covered by health care or support by the debate took place in texas a buddhist state to Mass Shootings have taken place this summer alone and i wonder then that alongside Health Care Immigration and gun control dominated thats about some lower polling candidates to come to for your co yes were going to take your 15 great reporting thank you had thank you. But i will leave change on this issue because i have seen what the corniche creates in communities like mine i think we have to compete for talent and i am the opposite of donald trump in many ways he says build a wall im going to say to immigrants come to america because if you come here your son or daughter can run for President Committee the top 10 Democratic Candidates took part thursday night twice that number remain in the field the race is still young but if the democrats are to win against President Trump in 2020 they will need to find a clear on such as a question of what exactly the party stands for. Differences president. And joining me now is boris felonies professor of politics at the bond college and welcome by now weve seen these candidates debate in the past but what struck you most about this particular debate what was different weve seen them in the past and were going to see them again many times so you could say they talked about pretty much the same issues so why do this so often well for the 1st time it was the be have them all in one stage the field is narrowing and its also important for this to happen its a process that gives legitimacy to the selection of the candidates but what youve seen throughout all the different issues Gun Legislation Health Care Immigration is a split between those who want a return to the status quo and to so back to obamas politics basically by them being the prime candidate whos bulging for this position and those who are saying well we should just go back we should defeat trump of course but in order to do so we also need to come up with a new vision and so theyre trying to articulate more procrit the progressive stance so i just said these people are going to be debating again and again over the coming months obvious splits an ideological differences in a sense weakening the Democratic Party i think there needs to be some patience also the media. Cycle is running very fast. While at the moment it seems like theyre talking off and i think many of the things that have been said will be forgotten very fast and as i said i think its part of the legitimate process for this to happen but at some taught at some point and thats what weve already seen starting is there needs to be in narrowing in which will also make it clear which of these 2 positions will finally run up against trump because one of the criticisms is that the only thing these Democratic Candidates seem to agree on is if the anti trump do you see any one of them then who is actually in a position to take on the president in the next election thats the question at stake the last time around the answer that was given was the candidate status quo which was Hillary Clinton it didnt work that time around theres no. Big reason why it should work the 2nd time around so i think there is a bit of an edge to the more progressive candidates who are actually articulating Something Like a new vision for politics the main decision is do you want to opt for the voters the suburban female vote mostly that might tip over from trumps support to of the democrats so that would be the conservative position or are you trying to opt for the more progressive minorities and vote where young vote and you see these key issues that we talked about gun control and Health Care Immigration being the ones featuring dominate the debate in the coming months yes and i think the closer we get to the primaries and caucuses which started in february there will be more and more debate we saw this was with camilla has this time around about trump himself and so there will be more discussions i guess about the future in society about the vision of the u. S. As a Multicultural Society or an open society so i think that these discussions will become more and more tuned towards the contract right and bonus moment thank you very much for your analysis.

Not at the story of a former iranian judo was champion who says he fears for his safety and that of his family after he ignored all the orders to pull out of last month one championships iranian authorities that confirmed that. Might face an israeli opponent in the final israel is considered an arch enemy by the iranian leadership. Now is considering whether he should seek asylum d. W. Spoke with him at an undisclosed location about his athletic and political bouts. Saeed mulai arrived at the 2019 world Judo Championships in tokyo with nothing but glory on his mind but after he reached the semifinals in his Weight Division things turned sour. Mulai claims his coach then received 2 calls from iranian authorities instructing him to withdraw his fighter from the tournament to avoid meeting an israeli judoka in the final. However he did contest the semifinal and he says purposefully last showing disappointment at the time. Now at a secret location in germany he told what happened that day. But you see my fights i mean the best for my career i beat the olympic champion and the bronze medalist i beat many of the best but then came the semifinal in order to comply with the laws of my country i lost the fight and the much for bronze to add to what it will. Mulai says his family was being threatened now hes being kept in a safe location but fears for his and his familys future in the age issue which at new life ive begun could have consequences for me not just could he definitely will 100 percent i cant return to iran. You know that. Its uncertain whether im alive he will be able to stay in germany or compete at becoming a lympics from now sport is not his priority. Joining me now is lima hotel sports desk to talk more about this story welcome lima so we heard the story about. The problems that hes facing these possibly seeking refuge even asylum in all this one month court that iran was softening its hardline stance. I guess it sounded all too good to be true but they were some positive developments back in may the International Judo federation had talks met up with iranian officials and they talked about respecting you know pick charter and hoping for less state interference but as as as decide eat more case of course shows us that that was perhaps nothing more than Just Lip Service and look the truth is that the International Judo federation they are aware that ukrainian athletes are always pressure to lose whether that means using whether that means pretending like they injure or. Throwing a game anything that they have to do in order not to face a need for any sort of opposition and of course that goes back to the Political Tension between iran and israel iran does not recognize the state of israel and therefore for bits its athletes to play against any sort of israeli opponent says that his family back in iran is free seeing pressure what kind of pressure are they facing so we know from past athletes that theres often a lot of intimidation tactics there is a harris meant they is a lot of pressure being put on Family Members its very similar to what often political activists or dissidents in the country go through so we know for example about one popular tactic that the that the government will use theyll take a Family Member to basically denounce the athlete on state television of course that is also to send out a signal and in a worst Case Scenario they will use torture against Family Members but of course that hasnt been the case so far in more like east case they live a kid explain the draw. A side trip obliged to lose this match intentionally into a queue against an israeli opponent of course so we know that as we heard in the report that. The iranian authorities had put pressure on him and it turns out that these authorities iranian authorities where one of them was the deputy sports minister of the country and the other one was the president of the Iranian Olympic Committee that they had also told him to withdraw to not try and it turns out that they had told him that the iranian security. Services where at his parents house putting pressure on his dad so of course when youre in that sort of situation you dont care youre going to do anything to protect your family so is it getting any support for his position from the outside sports world yeah so the International Judo federation for example they have thrown their complete support behind him theyve even said that will help him to do anything in order to make it to the summer olympics next year so you know he might even though they might prompt they will probably help him compete under the refugee flag or some sort of neutral flag we dont know but he might still get a happy ending so well just have to wait and see if we hope for the best for him i mean the talk indeed of the exposed just thank you and you can find out more about the film would you do.
