Im rebecca raters welcome to the Program Police in hong kong have opened fire on protesters hitting and wounding at least one after confrontations between hardline protesters and police escalated unverified video Footage Shows Police firing live rounds at close range of protesters on the eastern side of Hong Kong Island leaving one person lying on the ground in what looks like blood stains activists have been calling for a citywide strike on monday and urging people to destroy. Public transport. And correspondent is building is standing by for us at the st of the shooting that is whats going on there the moment. There have been several clashes between protesters and the police as if the investigators who secured the avett ins have left right now most of the protesters have left but neighbors have come down police is extremely tense i have been pepper spraying and detaining people who had been shouting at them. And i am standing actually not far from the spot where this protester was shot the police have confirmed that they shot him or that they shot dead that they fired live rounds he is in the hospital now. It seems the bullet has been removed and hes on the i. C. U. With the intensive care unit now and thats very good news that it looks looking very hectic this still and theres a general strike and promote protests planned for today how is this event likely to inflame the tensions there. It is of course already inflaming the tensions police the people who have come down here their neighbors theyre not equipped with mosques or anything they look like bystanders they are shouting at the police theyre calling them murderers in other parts of the city tensions are high as well as being fired in numerous places revolvers have been drawn although seemingly not fired in other places as well this is a very tense day from long form call from the very morning absolutely and showing no sign of letting up i mean what do you what was likely to happen now. Its very hard to say i mean during the last days we have seen that the demonstrations have been driven mostly by the more radical protesters other people have stayed away but these events there was the tragic death of one protester on friday who fell inside a parking deck and now these shots being fired this is of course angering people further i do not see any signs that the conflict is subsiding in any way i do not see any signs that there is a will to try other ways of solving this conflict than just sending police out on the streets last week kerry lamb has met with the beijing leadership they have vowed to stay tough on the protesters so i am not seeing any end to this at this moment it is burning out for us in hong kong thank you very much.

The center right party and the socialist center left party in the past were able to form a coalition on their own you know they had 50 percent of the verge more up more than 50 percent almost 50 percent and they just needed to bring in a few seats a few other parties in smaller parties now they really need to form a growing grand coalition actually to make this work and they really too will need to learn that craft so very much a wait and see situation situation later lois at the headquarters of Spain Socialist Party in madrid thanks very much.
