Its good to have you with this we begin tonight with some of the most violent antigovernment protests that hong kong has seen this year scores of prodemocracy demonstrators were injured in clashes with Security Forces today which included the 1st police should. Of a protester the demonstrators were defying an official ban on protests to mark Chinas National Day the violence in hong kong overshadow carefully choreographed ceremonies marking 70 years of communist rule in Mainland China. And nonviolent but provocative message to beijing. While some 2000 kilometers away the chinese president xi jinping watched a national day parades. Protest is in the territory spent the day on the street calling for more democratic rights for the 17th week in a row. Was. This moment marks a violent escalation in the clashes between demonstrators and the hong kong police. I. And off the ship shoots an 18 year old student in the chest at close range with a life bullet Authorities Say the officer fired to save his and his colleagues life as they were being attacked. The 18 year old male was sent to hospital when he was sent to hospital he is still conscious at the moment i believe the doctors. Conducting examination curing him cure him at the moment at this moment he was arrested for assaulting Police Officer we will conduct further inquiries and then once after the inquiries we view the site where we will press charges are not. Over 1500. 00 people have been arrested since june thats when the prodemocracy activists demanded the government withdraw or a controversial extradition bell eventually the hong kong authorities did cancel the bill but the protests continued and activists wants an investigation into Police Violence free from government influence which on tongues people are ready to sacrifice everything to fight for democracy and freedom i hope hong kong has will persist and carry on so as to get the freedom promised under one country 2 systems guys out there its very dark and people from all walks of life want an independent inquiry and i think i watch the withdrawal of the bill is not enough hard its hard to settle the matter of finding it hard to hold our physical and i got hong kong has had its own legal system since the british handed the colony back to china in 1970 the activists want more electoral reforms and to keep the freedoms of that compact treats on the mainland have never had. Well haves trying to turn 70 amid protests in hong kong the leadership in Mainland China is using the very website blocks to fight back against dissent in the territory thats according to a new report that says beijing has dramatically expanded its arsenal to be used by its waiters here with me now with more on that so tell me more so this is a unprecedented counter offensive that were seeing happening online this new report by the Oxford Internet institute found that beijing has enlisted around 2000000 people to attack the credibility of the protesters on my 2000000 thats more than half of the nomination more than half the population of berlin could you imagine and not only that their tactics have changed the before they were more focused on the messaging in their sort of Domestic Social media platforms like we bow and weve had and now theyre shifting to Global PlatformsFacebook Twitter the new app ticktock thats very popular the goal here is to weaken the Global Support for the protesters and paint them as violent extremists we have seen in china attack these social media platforms before have no absolute weve seen them attack the platforms for instance ticktock this video platform thats very popular today its owned by a company thats based in beijing and they have given their moderators the directive that any content thats critical of china be it hong kong protesters or 989 in tenement square or the controversy over the week or as who are being persecuted in the west of the country all of that has to go so now in addition to facebook and an edition of this there are facebook and twitter accounts that have been shown to have a originated in china that all appear to have acted in a corner aided fashion to amplify messages and images that portray these hong kong protesters as violent and extreme now weve seen fake accounts be created so theyre using state effort theyre using social media this is a multipronged attack from these platforms at the same time as theyre censoring these platforms in china a new social media weapon in the information. And the worry is that because facebook and twitter are Global Platforms the chinese censorship is going to shape how western young people see the conflict in Hong Kong Well are these platforms are they doing anything about this and can be sure that it does not happen your answer is no longer answer is theyre not doing enough facebook has said it has eliminated some some groups some pages some accounts that are involved in this information twitter said it deactivated around 900 counts and they also released this press statement saying that it would ban state backed media Chinese State backed media from promoting tweets after that media had placed ads on twitter suggesting that all these protesters were sponsored by the west and that they were becoming violent so we have to remember that in china facebook and twitter are blocked that means that all of this messaging is for International Consumption not for domestic consumption and it suggests that beijing is not shy about using these services to spread their messaging even as they restrict their own citizens access misinformation muscle flexing my its way to thank you. 3rd song is communist party celebrating 70 years in power with across the country the main festivities in beijing included a huge military parade and ended with fireworks in the laboratory on of all places Tiananmen Square thousands of musicians and dancers perform for dignitaries and a National Television audience the spectacle concluded a day designed to showcase chinese progress prosperity in power or in his speech today president xi jinping said the Chinese Development would be peaceful but that 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 tommy and his nation celebrated its achievements on a grand scale standing where chairman mao proclaimed the peoples republic in 1949 president s using ping struck a combative note. Home. 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. 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. Well for more on this im joined tonight by so if you richardson the china director at Human Rights Watch she joins me from washington tonight so its good to have you on the program you know as we just saw there youve got this this picture of pomp and ceremony and a global show of military might and then youve got hong kong where the police shot someone in the chest today how do you read this mixed picture well i think it hasnt been all that hard for the Chinese Communist party in the Chinese Government to beat the odds as your setup piece suggested when its always held all the cards and i think its very telling to watch whats going on in hong kong where people have been guaranteed the right to freedom of expression and simply and somewhat limited democratic rights and precisely what those people are saying right now is that not only do they want to keep those rights but they want them expanded and i think thats why youve seen such different developments on the same day between beijing. And you also hear the president of china did today reiterating that china is one country unity and is that going to mean for places such as hong kong also maybe for taiwan that were talking about a future where human rights and personal liberties have no future except one that has them being eroded over time due to beijings control. Well if they didnt get to call the shots thats precisely what will happen i mean i think one of the most. You know devastating realities in china today is that you know it is you know the government is more affluent powerful and secure than its ever been and yet it is no more tolerant having multiple Political Parties or you know respecting the rights of ethnic minorities or of letting people practice their religion as they see fit. And i think that suggests well and certainly the erosion of rights that weve documented in hong kong suggest that the doing has one and only one vision for how it will rule and theres no room and that view for human rights and if it does have that vision and you add the fact that is becoming militarily stronger its talk to me is strong. Is there anything that rights organizations can do to change the the crisis that we see in hong kong. Well i mean the extraordinary Success Story of human rights in fact that over the last 2 or 3 decades has been the rise of independent activism and lets be clear on there she didnt hang those people whove been horrifically persecuted prosecuted driven into exile you know but they get up every day and they keep trying to document Human Rights Violations and push for accountability and we see our and certainly hope that many of the governments that have some influence over eating also push to protect precisely these people because they are the ones who feel they are going to be able to make some positive changes like china. And they are the people who will need the support from organizations such as your so thats for sure so if you were just in the trying to director of Human Rights Watch joining us tonight from washington so if you think you. Thank you. Here some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world one person has been killed and hundreds injured in clashes between protesters and police in the iraqi capital baghdad protesters were angry about Public Services and high unemployment as well as what they see as iranian influence on the government.

A texas jury has found a white former Police Officer guilty of murder for killing a black neighbor after entering his apartment amber geiger admitted to shooting off im jean he was unarmed but said she mistakenly believed he was an intruder in her apartment she was in the course the wrong apartment. In washington d. C. The administration stonewalled congressional demands that officials in the trunk white house testified in the a pietschmann inquiry against the president now of course aggression committees have issued subpoenas against trumps private lawyer Rudy Giuliani and the secretary of state money from paya theyve also asked 5 state Department Officials to testify on peo has been lashing out at those requests accusing democrats of bullying in trying to intimidate his staff. Pompei it was in italy right now at the start of the europe trip he said that it was not now feasible for the officials at the state department to testify giuliani has also suggested that he will not comply democrats believe that trump abused his office by urging ukraines president to investigate democratic president ial candidate joe biden and now the Justice Department has disclosed that trump asked other leaders to investigate the russian for that he calls a witch chop to. 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 australian Prime MinisterScott 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 a straight yes morrison was withdrawn as it was with another call from trump to ukraines president followed him into selenski potential yes i know only trump insists hes done nothing wrong and made a call the call was perfect when the whistleblower reported that he made sen. The 2nd case of trump allegedly trying to enlist the help of a foreign leader for his own purposes can only out of more fuel to the fire already being fanned by the democrats. And for more on this im joined by our Washington Bureau chief alexander phenomena good evening to you alexander so how does this 2nd allegation of abuse of power how does it feed into this impeachment process that is now under way. Well for the democrats this is another example and other evidence showing the president using his office to advance his personal political interests but with regards to the impeachment inquiry i would say that the democratic leadership is trying to focus on the ukraine and president phone call with the ukrainian president they want to stick to this one story and they know that in the end they have to convince dmn American Public and of course they want to be done by thanksgiving thanksgiving and christmas just around the corner what do you make xander of these are. His response to the subpoena that has been issued. I think that this is very telling how aggressively secretary pumping of pushback on demands for dispositions of potential witnesses state Department Officials as you said he he said that. Not feasible that he accused democrats of bully like tech takes and it was also interesting interesting how quickly the democrats fired back a warning secretary pompei of that if he is trying to prevent witnesses from talking to congress if he is trying to intimidate potential witnesses this would be seen as obstruction of justice and Impeachable Offense and they also said that in the letter it sends to secretary of pompei oh that if its true that he was on this phone call with the ukrainian president he will be regarded as a potential witness an amazing developments there and all of this happening while you have the Republican SenateMajority Leader Mitch Mcconnell saying that he would have shore yes but to take up articles of impeachment if the house of representatives approves them is it likely to come to that alexander. Well the inquiry has just started and we have. The house membership saying that they supported the beginning of the impeachment proceedings but they have not committed to how they would vote on impeachment articles however if there is evidence for the president s wrongdoing we can expect the democrats to move to votes and they would just need a simple majority in the house of representatives to impeach the president however in the senate then this is a totally different story because to do in order to convict any peached of president you would need 2 thirds supermajority and as we can see right now most of the Senate Republicans are still supporting the president strong thats right i think you would need about 20 republican senators to change their loyalties and thats a tall order alexander phenomenon the story for us in washington tonight alexandra thank you.
