Ago but now to documentary filmmakers are bringing the pounds back to life for a new generation. Im so much god thats good to have you with us prodemocracy protests in hong kong marking the 70th anniversary of the founding of china have turned violent one of protesters in the hospital after being shot in the chest by police now a video appears to show the moment that a Police Officer fired his handgun at close range the protester was treated on the scene before being taken to the hospital and his condition is on no it is the most serious incident in months of demonstrations in hong kong todays antichurch china rally started peacefully with thousands marching in the streets before some started throwing molotov cocktails and demonstrators also threw eggs at a portrait of chinese president xi. And good of you charlotte shells from hell is covering the protests for us in Hong Kong Charlotte as we heard there has been a major escalation a Police Officer shooting a protester what can you tell us. Yeah video footage appearing to show the moments that that protester was shot in the chest has really gone viral hit in hong kong what it shows is the Police Officer opening fire it appears at close range what weve been hearing is that the protester was shot in the chest weve heard that he is a High School Student a teenager and what it appears to that what appears have happened is that shots were sponsored off to scuffles with police a lot of people on the streets here very shocked that god has taken place weve seen Police Firing a number of warning shots into the in previous week this is the 1st time that a live round has actually hits a protest in almost 4 months of protests of this really is as you say a major escalation on the situation here in hong kong precipitous authorities there charlotte actually banned any protests today so what have people there on the streets told you about how important it is for them to be out today on chinas national day. Where the people who are back on the streets here today are essentially protesting illegally because of that police ban but that has not stopped tens of thousands of people coming onto the streets people of all ages now many of them as possibly you can see behind me have been dressed in black all day today thats because today is being called a day of grief a day of mourning. In response they want to show you a very stark contrast to the images that are coming out of beijing with people celebrating that here they want to show that anger and they want to make that demands they know. Full well that the world will be watching hong kong today on such an immense it out of us syria and they want the world to see people here on the streets demonstrating once again charlotte we spoke to some of those protesters a little bit earlier in the day as the protests began lets listen to what they have to say. So one thing i got to i think the hong kong people going to be. If you dont go out today probably it was at the very last chance that you could go out after so. Lets look at what happened in the last 100 days or so were seeing that all of freedom getting a lot less time to full so i feel like today whether it was the national day or anything we have to come out we. We dont want to be another china city because the government the Hong Kong Police we dont want the hong kong people to go out today but i think the basic law of protests that is our right so we want to fight for our own right and freedom and we dont want to do so today we recommit to say the warsaw. Criminal. Citizens in your home you just cry for freedom stand with hong kong. All right charlotte so we heard the voices there of pro democracy supporters the protesters who have been out on the streets it is important to note that there are also beijing supporters in hong kong have they been out at all today this is after all chinas national day. Well judy the very volatile situation here we havent seen many prey beijing supporters or any pro beijing supporters on the streets over the last few hours it is extremely violent here and that of course would be a huge restyle you this morning though we do know that a number of pro beijing activists supporters rather one at a ceremony marking the 70th anniversary of the founding of the peoples republic of china here in hong kong but that so many rewards extremely toned down in fact the ceremonies were moved inside there was a flag raising ceremony that took place but any dignitaries and officials that were present watched from inside and indeed a fireworks display that would usually take place every year here in hong kong the harbor has also been counseled as well this is a very toned down celebration for the great beijing supporters here in Hong Kong Charlotte with this very tense day very in hong kong and no violence you know the protest going over to violence how have authorities there been reacting. Well theres been a Huge Police Presence on the streets all day today they have been firing tear gas the multiple locations across hong kong weve seen water cannon as well in fact just a short time ago this street that im standing on right now is absolutely a filled with tear gas we in fact saw one woman confronting police as they were firing out take us without a mate a face mask then the take out kind of says was fired from the line of police and they were fired very very close to where journalists withstanding this is a very violent day here police came to try and crack down on these protests which they say are illegal and of course authorities here are keen to stop these protests overshadowing upstaging what is going on in beijing they dont want to see that beijing dorothys embarrassed by the protests that are taking place here over at our correspondent charlotte show some pill reporting for us from hong kong with that have to thank you very much. As we mentioned china is staging huge celebrations to mark 70 years of communist rule the peoples republic of china has changed beyond all recognition since it was founded 7 decades ago after a bitter civil war with nationalists today president said chinas development would be peaceful but its military would safeguard its sovereignty and security. Strength discipline and vision this was the message from a state that has defied the odds for 70 years on tuesday the worlds longest surviving communist nation celebrated its achievements on a grand scale standing where chairman mao proclaimed the peoples republic in 1949 president struck a combative note. Today a socialist china is standing proudly in the worlds east. And no force can change the position of our great motherland and no force can stop the Chinese People and the chinese nation from stepping forward. For. The spectacle that followed was designed to highlight chinas rise from a nation in despair to a global superpower. At the forefront of that newfound confidence a display of military might on a massive Scale Advanced weaponry including Nuclear Capable mistrials rumbling through beijing. The event comes at a crucial time growth is slowing as the trade war with the u. S. Takes its toll on the economy and calls for more democracy grow louder both in hong kong and among the middle classes in Mainland China and we have nice back with us hes a researcher at the macarthur institute for china studies here in berlin thank you for joining us those are some pretty impressive pictures that were seeing at this huge celebration taken place in beijing today what message is. China sending with us paraded through well i think as always with these massive parades its a message of wealth and power and unity this time also very much so shes a ping is really trying to show that he was firmly in charge of one of the military society and you know trying to project its its capacity and build up Production Capacity also to the fringes gentile region so its really a show of force who is that show force to i mean is that for the Chinese People are they as well celebrating this day well i think its its fair to say that the Chinese People are they have reason to celebrate i mean they have been the ones who have built the nation theyre creating the wealth that is showcased now the National Forests military and leadership wise i think really also goes to the entire inside the leadership that sees it being a cemented his rule and hes trying to show that we saw the pictures that are also happening right now in hong kong as protesters continue to defy beijing and this is a bit of you know a black eye for beijing and it is been going on for several months how long will and can china tolerate those types of images especially on its national day well certainly hits china in a sore spot it has china has been really hard and developing this picture of chinas rise as a peaceful one you know chinas a benevolent giant rising and hong kong is a sore spot because it cannot time to kind of really go in. You know direct intervention or kill a forces in the streets of hong kong is certainly the last resort those are pictures that would be very detrimental to the picture chinas been in trying to build so what can it do as we see china celebrate its might. Well in hong kong i think it has been doing what is what it does best so its you know a back door diplomacy and to channeling through the administration on current and also reinforcing the forces in hong kong so i mean those are offensive and theyre closed actions that i think is the way they will go coming back to china and the country celebrating 70 years of communist rule do you think we will continue to see the government the party flex its muscles heading Going Forward i think its pretty safe to say that china will continue to try to show that is in charge of its region i mean the chinese interests and safety are growing the footprint of china is increasingly large Southeast Asia and east asia and south asia so they are certainly trying to project power and protect the interest of trying to increase and you know we heard just in pain say no country on earth can stop the advance of the chinese nation is that true. Thats a thats a bit of a bet for me to say yes or no answer but i think china really has at least feeling that it now has come to the very top its a great power on par with the u. S. And the other great powers and i mean the show has the right to certainly. A way to show this all right from the Marketer Institute for china studies merricks out here in it for you and thank you. Now to some other stories making headlines around the world a bridge crossing a bay in taiwan has collapsed smashing onto boats mord below a truck carrying oil plummeted from the bridge into the water at least 10 people have been injured rescue teams are searching for survivors. In peru president martin discover has dissolved congress and called elections in a power struggle with the opposition he accused lawmakers of blocking his attempts to fight corruption crew has been engulfed in a scandal involving a Brazilian Construction Firm multiple politicians are accused of accepting bribes in exchange for government contracts. Nigerian police say they have freed 19 pregnant women and girls from a socalled baby factory the victims were allegedly abducted and raped so that their captors could sell their babies to women suspects were taken into custody in the raid in the capital lagos. Democrats in the u. S. House of representatives are stepping up the pressure on President Donald Trump as they move closer towards impeachment proceedings they have now issued subpoenas against his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani trumps dealings with foreign leaders are also in the spotlight. The story starts to seem all too familiar democrats say that new allegations point to yet another cover up by the Trump Administration according to the u. S. Justice department in may this year trump asked the australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison to help discredit form a special counsel robert millers russia investigation miller let the probe into trumps alleged ties to russian interference into 2016 u. S. President ial election its alleged the transcript of the call of with australias morrison was withdrawn as it was with another call from trump to ukraines president followed him into selenski yes i know. Trump insists hes done nothing wrong medical corps was perfect when the whistleblower reported the very center of. This 2nd case of trump allegedly trying to enlist the help of a foreign leader for his own purposes can only add more fuel to the fire already being fanned by the democrats. Lets get more on that story now did abuse alexander phenomenon is in washington hi alexandra what does this mean for the ongoing impeachment process. Well for the democrats this phone call is new evidence new example of for the president to use his office to use high diplomacy talks high level diplomacy talks to advance his personal political interest however with regards to the impeachment inquiry we have to say that the democrats prefer to concentrate on the ukraine and the phone call the president had with the ukrainian president because they want to stay on message they want to have a clear result a clear message to the American Public and they want to be finished by things giving but this is not the 2nd phone call that we know of were the democrats at least say that President Trump misused his position for political gain do we know if more of these types of calls exist. Well and this is a very difficult question to answer and we have to mention 2 important things in this context 1st of all after back to back leaks of controversial remarks the president President Trump made in phone calls with International Leaders at the beginning of his presidency the white house moved on to restrict the access to those phone calls to reduce the number of aides that were allowed to be present those phone calls so its really not known yet if there could be more phone calls on that issue and think that its important here and we have to mention it that there were meetings were attorney general william barr traveled across europe on behalf of president and held talks with british and tell you and Intelligence Officers urging them to help the ministration to discredit them all or probe and that of course shows how obsessed president if i may use this word is with discrediting the russia probe alexander coming back to this impeachment inquiry we heard the Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell saying he would have no choice but to consider articles of impeachment if the house approved them so what are the chances that we could see it come to that. Well 1st of all we of course have to say that the impeachment inquiry has just started and started and we have to wait and see what the results will be however if its going to be confirmed what we know so far if we are going to see even more evidence for the president s wrongdoing it is likely that stood majority of the democrats will move forward to vote on the impeachment and in the house of representatives they just need a simple majority however after that the senate would have to. Convict an impeachment president with 2 thirds supermajority and we know that the senate is in the hands of the republicans and at the moment this seems rather unlikely that that could happen and all. Of these alexander phenomena in washington thank you. Now communist east germany will be remembered as a country that killed people who tried to escape shouldnt have debt at the berlin wall and elsewhere it is famous for the Stasi Secret Police as well but it was also a place where many people lead normal day to day lives now 2 filmmakers have curated hours of home video to offer a glimpse of that past. Personal memories recorded in the country no longer exists. These home movies capture signs of the former east germany most outsiders never knew private recordings that are now public thanks to documentary filmmakers herskovitz political scientist lawrence murphy. The connected 415 hours of home movie rios showing what real life looks like for real people under the socialist regime. The resulting website open memory box allows visitors to click keywords in english german french or russian watching clips from the archives of 149 east german families. The footage is universal most of these films seem like they could have been filmed most anywhere in europe the people in them are just People Living their lives despite the dictatorship. And we have one of the curators at the open memory box project with us has to fit has joined us here in our studio. This is really interesting this project what were you looking to achieve with this well we understood that this was a big treasure but it all began with the whole to find some media that would help us to talk to people about their experience in germany beyond the. Black and why. King that that everything was bad and not only that but also west and east looked upon each other in a way that. I was astonished i was surprised that there was still so much tension going on so we wanted to talk about the life in the g. D. R. And realize that this polarized attitudes prevent the people over remembering things and that this separate footage came along as a medium to trigger memories that could time travel into the past its more than 400 hours of really home video footage what you think we learned about everyday life in the former east germany well if you look at the footage what you see is what people actually do or people around the world do you you you you you care about your beloved brauns the children your hoarded trips or the daily life. Normal kind of activities that i think when you when you when you when you dive into this footage and this is into this project you realize of the differences on a very big i mean we all the same we care about the same things yes comparable to our have in the west maybe would have focused on more expensive luxury goods and more fancy cars and so but in the end were all the same it has been 30 years since the fall of the pearl and while there have been other important key landmark anniversaries of course since the berlin wall fell so why now why did you find it was important to bring this project that i think that the last decade everybody the media was so Research Focused on very very important questions. Stasi the control room. The problem with the economy i mean a lot of a lot of important topics and i think now maybe its the 1st time that we have reached a moment in history. That that allows to to look at what actually happened in the g. D. R. When it comes to to the private gaze the private you you mentioned that you know west and east they used to look down at each other this is an issue that were still talking about the divide between the former west and the former east of course do you think that this project could help bring people together very much hope so because we believe that this problem the tension between the east and best of something something that is a result of or distance and also of a lack of knowledge and we hope that these images would help people to see that life in the east was very much a human story and just before you go were there any offers that you had to turn down in terms of these videos that you collected no no no no we read this everything received to be digitized and put online of course and maybe we should curate on times when it comes to nudity and so but in general its sort of its all there its all open very interesting the open memory box project has give its one of the curators of this project thank you for joining us thank you very much.
