Omarion evanston its good to have you with us tens of thousands of prodemocracy activists in hong kong are defying a newly introduced ban on wearing face masks during protests and thats despite a legal setback angry protesters clashed with police and then response authorities fired tear gas to disperse the crowds prodemocracy lawmakers had attempted to get the banned overturned but that was rejected by Hong Kongs High Court the territorys chief executive kerry lamb imposed emergency law and a ban on face masks on friday. Correspondent mathias building is following developments in hong kong and he joins us now for the latest so. The court has now rejected the challenge to the emergency law so how have protesters been responding to that decision. Well protesters are out again today where you have seen some of the pictures and it has been pretty much the same as in the other week and protesters coming out in big numbers in the beginning clashes erupt Police Firing tear gas i have witnessed several dozens of rounds of tear gas the amounts are getting more and more liberal and then at some point the protesters they put Police Charges at them and the protesters leave if anything was different today than it was in the beginning off the march before violence erupted more protesters than ever were wearing face masks theyre clearly not accepting this law and this injunction that was not granted today is not changing anything. So much here is you know these protests have been going on now for months and months and up to now hong kongs leader kerry lamb more or less seem to be taking a kind of hands off approach i mean she has had a few statements against the demonstrators but now it appears shes taking more of a firm stance with this emergency law which has been upheld by the court so whats next as far as the protesters are concerned. The government from the beginning has left it to the police to try to end these protests this has clearly not worked as we have seen an escalation from both sides since the beginning gradually. Police house Beam Charging earlier they have been using more violence we have seen videos of corleys beating up protestors clearly violating their. Powers abusing their powers and we have seen protesters getting more and more violent we are seeing petrol bombs now regularly so this is these emergency law is. Something like. More of the same the government seems to be convinced that if more violence sparks more violence than more violence will probably solve the problem there has been no attempts to to meet the demands of the protesters to open a political way of diallo guy i think its probably as we said least what we hear that kerry lamb sounds also tight that beijing does not want to appear weak now this. Emergency law is something that is really controversial lawmakers democratic lawmakers see it as in conflict with a mini constitution of hong kong their law is much older than the constitution and days they see this use of the executive imposing emergency law without asking the legislature the parliament. Something that is unconstitutional if she gets this through and this is not the end get off the judicial process its just an injunction that was not granted but the whole law the whole. Application of the law will be under revision later this month then it would open a pub the path for more draconian measures could fuse and Media Censorship being some of the right mention as being a bringing us up to date on developments in hong kong we thank you very much.

Voting is underway in tunisia as citizens elect a new parliament todays poll comes just weeks after the 1st round of president ial elections where voters turned their backs on traditional parties in favor of independent candidates and that trend is expected to continue candidates are contesting 217 seats in the countrys parliament the legislature has been dominated by the islamists and knocked a party its ruling an alliance with the Secular Party to name high unemployment and a lack of Public Services are fueling discontent. D. W. Reporter and north africa analyst is here with me in the studio to talk about all of this hello to you i so according to some political analysts around 80 percent of tunisians dont trust in the established parties why is that so high why do they not trust them my impression is that most voters feel like theyve given established. Parties enough enough of a chance this is the 3rd legislative election since the outbreak of the arab spring in 2011 tunisia was the country where this wave of revolutions started and throughout throughout these 22 parliamentary periods the deep seated reasons of why their spring happened in tunisia havent been solved so this election is happening against the backdrop of high prices soaring prices youth unemployment which is estimated to be up to 30 percent in some rural areas and 15 percent in some of the cities and also inflation and corruption and from some of the people that ive spoken to they feel that the Political Parties have been too busy discussing personnel issues rather than coming up with effective policy in the past some 9 years and theyre theyre losing their patience with them we just mentioned it during the president ial poll which was just a few weeks ago voters really punished the established parties. Can we expect the same to happen this time around we were talking before the show opinion polls are not allowed in tunisia opinion polls are not allowed into but as you said you know this is this is a very historically unique. Moment for tunisia where president ial elections had to happen prematurely because the previous president passed away and you know if this if the trend continues if the result of the results of the 1st round of the president ial elections are any indication independents are likely to win big they have also made quite headway in some local elections which weve seen previously no party is expected to meet the 109 seats in Parliament Majority to form a government which means that as as with the previous government there a Coalition Government is to be expected this will be Difficult Coalition making is difficult in any part of the world and in a place like tunisia is likely to take more time and the 2 more frustration but independents are expected to make big gains as well so they may now be. To form a government especially if coalitions are involved and yet tunisia is that the only country that has seen democratic reforms since the arab spring i had just how democratic is the country today just certainly a democracy and unlike other countries in the region like egypt for example tunisia has managed to avoid descending back into military rule so its certainly also its a civilian led democracy which is a is a huge accomplishment i mean one might look at the elections in tunisia and they certainly have a lot of problems but i think you know this this kind of discontent with established parties and moving towards independent parties is actually a sign of political maturity for tunisians they are unhappy and theyre registering their dissatisfaction through the polls the results are likely to be difficult but that is part of building a democracy and to just also the only country that has evolved its political system they now have this mix party system as opposed to a president ial dominated system which it had before the arab spring. Always great to hear your insights thank you so much now the United Nations is calling for an end to the violence in iraq which has left nearly 100 people dead and thousands of wounded Security Forces have repeatedly opened fire on demonstrators whove been protesting against corruption and unemployment. Oh my god erica. Another funeral procession in iraq the country has seen almost a 100 deaths in the past week this one is for a protester whose family say he was shot by police well as they got i hope that he went out to defend his rights nothing more. He had nothing on him and was sort of he was targeted by snipers to head shots that go on but the nazi like the feel of us. This is the sound that is greeted protesters in recent days police cracking down on crowds with deadly results. Protests began last tuesday sparked by anger over unemployment corruption and a lack of basic Services Like electricity and water its a Movement Without leadership crossing political and sectarian divides. Those who go to Parliament Wearing suits dont represent us but if 100 of us die next time we will be 1000000 and none of these protestors belong to a religious establishment or party. The governments response curfews and internet shutdown and promises of eventual reforms the speaker of Iraqs Parliament invited protesters into talk but its action theyre calling for one influential cleric has demanded new elections. But as authorities respond with violence the flames of discontent continue to burn.
