Election claims the vote was rigged and there were clashes across the nation as president of the sinkhole headed for landslide victory. And peace talks in afghanistan could start within a week after a council of afghan leaders agrees to 3400 taliban prisoners freed child abandonment made their release offer prisoners a condition for the toll. As well come to the Program China again crackdown on democratic freedoms in hong kong with the arrest of media tycoon jimmy lie hes a prominent prodemocracy compan arent an outspoken critic of beijings policies in the territory an aide said lie was being held over suspected collusion with Foreign Forces on the tough new National Security though beijing imposed in june. This was the moment of arrest jimmy lie put into an Unmarked Police van outside his home in hong kong. Then driven away. When hes raided the Publishers Office late in the morning. He was then later brought to the offices of his Media Company the next media the paper itself released these pictures mr light being is called around the office by police officers. Police said they were looking for evidence but did not specify what exactly. The 71 year old jimmy lie is among several arrested in a Police Operation focused on his group of Media Outlets including the popular tabloid apple daily. In a Statement Police said 7 people have been detained on suspicion of fraud and colluding with Foreign Forces part of the new security law. This morning around 945 together with our colleagues from the criminal Investigation Department and military staff we got a warrant to conduct an operation to search for evidence of operation sulfide smooth and we hope to finish soon and not to disturb the operation of the media. It is not the 1st time jimmy lai has been arrested. Chinas state media has portrayed him as a traitor and accused him of being one of the masterminds behind the many recent protests in the city. Hes a well known and outspoken prodemocracy figure in hong kong who regularly criticize chinas or thora town rule many here in hong kong see him as an unlikely hero. I dont think the police should be doing this after all this is a Media Organization hong kong claims to have freedom of the press so i dont think they should be raiding the medias premises. The selfmade billionaire and media owner is the only high profile business person who so far has been willing to open be criticised beijing for the arrests come only days after the Us Government announced sanctions on hong kong and mainland chinese officials. Its a clear signal that china is determined to enforce the new security law despite growing International Pressure but joining me now from london is nathan law the chairman of hong kongs them a sister party he faces similar charges in hong kong and is threatened with arrest if he returns nathan what do you make of jim allies arrest. Why this is classic from the communist party saying that they were opportunity and are basically using. The National Security law prosecute and they are pretty content that they dont like. Jimmy and i have been very vocal in criticizing the contract or mine im protecting on calm peoples freedom so that was kind of a case and to track down the other to see silent. Jimmy jimmy has been very very vocal you also have been part of these protests as beijing claims the mosque to mind behind this protest. Of course not the way they do in portrayed is to frame these prominent cul de sac and says to take full responsibility for all the. Upheaval for the past year but actually this is a Leaderless Movement people acting on their behalf and really devote themselves into their movement with their own capacity so i dont think that its a reality they just wanted to court cases to prosecute prominent. So you say the movement is a leaderless one but how is this high profile arrests going to affect the prodemocracy movement. Well you would definitely create a Chilling Effect which means that even though you are not. Socalled coup looting with Foreign Forces you are acting on your own but beijing could definitely trauma cases on you and they will. People who what he wanted to voice out in hong kong so that beijings agenda and i like not to be scared of really giving up your voice are you yourself i mean youre an exile if you will in london right now are you yourself said. Well of course we understand how far reaching home rich can be even though we are kind of scared but its our choice to. Adopt what actions are quote where that my actions will be speaking louder and louder to be able to talk all calm people at the mound and genuine thought over the in order to get more International Attention and support. And that are you going back to hong kong any time soon. Well according to the state media i am a one cut of the details so it is unlikely that i am able to go back to hong kong but if i do differ sure it will be hong kong become the americas and prepaid. I dont know thank you very much. And i think law has already left hong kong and many others are planning to do the same the number of residents leaving is at its highest in 7 years according to official figures fears that the territories freedoms are being eroded have forced people to consider their options gary and his fiance has just a few more months when joy to life in hong kong before they say goodbye to the hometown and then a great 2 are straight am going gary filed the application 5 years ago leaving was only a back up plan says Dan Hong Kong has been through massive social and political upheaval but it was the unprecedented antigovernment protests last year that finally pushed him over the at church. This isnt the hong kong i grew up with anymore freedom has been restricted but hong kong will soon be no different from the rest of china i feel even more unsafe under the new National Security law weve lost so we have to find it elsewhere or you want. To fight or to flee thats a tough question for many homeowners like gary starting a life abroad will likely be a rocky path even in his job as an engineer gary and his fiance who does not want to be interviewed because she fears for her job here are prepared to start from scratch a price theyre willing to pay in exchange for liberty. To abandon our well paid jobs friends everything weve established here where we were born in ranges we did struggle to make this decision but around a 3rd of my friends are also considering leaving or at least sending their children abroad to. The. Official figures show that the number hold coresidents leaving is at its highest in 7 years around 30000 people left in 2019 a 40 percent search in just a year and thats expected to keep growing soused a new Chinese Security law was enacted last month a number of countries have plans to make it easier for hong kong ers to emigrate australia taiwan and britain are among the popular destinations the u. K. Government or even allowing really the free media the whole calmness with British National overseas passports or documents from the colonial era to settle their emigration is more than a personal choice in hong kong its also a matter of issue facing house want to stop recognizing the special pressures from up hong kongs residence in retaliation for bread. Has offered to put them in somehow baten heavy way favorite app ok with poking the permanent resident things out those granted you case this issue which means they could lose their right to vote and stand for election in hong kong. Has recently been travelling around home call to capture is iconic scenery these pictures was just 3 memories off the place no longer. Exists. Specially since many friends will soon drift apart i treasure the remaining chances to be together and i hope i can still contribute to my hometown what other means in the future. To be there is now where the Election Commission says president hu xander look at won a landslide 80 percent of the vote in sundays election but the opposition candidates. Says the results were rigged and she was the real winner germanys government says it has strong doubts about the results which triggered clashes across bill ross. They hadnt won the election on monday the women spearheading bellerose his opposition claimed a different picture a muslim. I think weve already won because we overcame our fear we have a came our indifference to politics and we overcame apathy and indifference. And it showed this was the capital minsk after the big results was announced. They knew they were taking a risk the president had warned them. Useful i just follow the law and any talk of oppression will disappear the lower is above all else if you break it we will respond. And we have been light handed in our response so far just like handed to be honest with you ive always held back on Law Enforcement and i told them there is no need for a heavy response you. Must excuse the hebrews. Many of the sharp end of the response would not have described it as light handed. Dozens were injured and civil Rights Groups say one man was killed after being hit by a police van. Officers arrested 3000 some reported the army units were manning entrances to the city and yet others said that police in smaller towns didnt take on protesters. And at times the protestors went after the police i most polling was not independently monitored and outsiders were not impressed by fell or russian democracy as in as much take this one i think that its clear fake election that is not an election. Feel sorry for not ruling with consent on sunday night the gap between look a shame because reality and that of many of his people would seem to be widening i was wrong now is believers in the journalist analyst from arc the chalk of front of the Election Commission says look at central want around 80 percent of the votes do you think that result is at all credible. For the whole i think majority of belarusians do not belittle its real results i think this number is our fate because i know how elections are being the reagan dollars they dont even count the ballots where they just get the numbers from the Central Electoral Commission and they pooled their right numbers in the final protocols and the only thing for the Commission Members is to good this balance into the piles so their servers independent service can see their piles unfortunately or fortunately we question. Will not recognize a few lost hes definitely in minority right now and he definitely has the crisis of legitimacy of the people in maine people in 30 other cities that were protesting less line we believe the question can receive more than 2025 percent the folds and now the question if they are the men who are all few shows they will or they will switch sides and they will support the will of people. Well if this red line its going to scare says that she will not accept the result what harm what can she do well what are her options. So a bunch of i was brave enough to stay in brothers because my prediction yesterday to one of the foreign media was that today all of the leaders of the position will be weak off the deal ready said logical most case free. Teenage body at least because hes still a free and the 3rd inmate fled the country already. And also promised in case a few fresh im called a much changed his position and im not begin negotiations she will join the protesters the use of blood for most terrible cold people to profit into the change of the situation. No matter what and it will be much more people be at it and show up on the streets and faith yes they. Do seem pretty robust reactions from from the police to the protests what do you make the way of the way the police have responded to the demonstrators and do you expect that to get more even more harsh 1st the fall of the use of violent force brutal force yesterday it was perfectly legal police use disproportionate force against Peaceful Protesters i did see on the video saloon wrong when people took of them the stone and throw the stone into a police line and the 2nd find i saw when people were throwing apples or oranges i didnt see and increased forms to apples from oranges police a launch the Water Cannons and the grenades and you know what happened more than 50 people injured right now one person dead and 3 percent sorry for the Poor Condition right now and we dont know how much people will work and ive seen as well after yesterday probably. From a joke thank you very much with your input.

Youre watching the news still to come how the coronavirus is killing the Indigenous People of brazil benefiting those clearing the amazon forest for africa we have a special. Long awaited peace negotiations between the Afghan Government and the taliban expected to start within a week according to government sources 400 sullivan prisoners are to be freed following a vote by an assembly of tribal leaders known as the loya jirga the peace talks could lead to the end of the war which began when the United States ousted the taliban from power in 2001. Not everyone on the traditional Afghan Council was ready to free the detained tell about members many of the delegates have lost relatives in attacks or clashes for them the fact that the government is now going to release those responsible is hard to take but in the end a desire for peace prevailed. I thought on this list decision has removed the final obstacles to these negotiations and god willing we are on the verge of these talks are going well most for months are lot of strongly should remove. One of the goals was to bring about a cease fire and its desperately needed on sunday another attack in kabul left people dead and some injured the taliban control or are contesting around 70 percent of the country the Insurgent Group has agreed to start peace talks within days of the release of its detained members back in february they committed to the United States that they would reduce the amount of violence but observers believe the upcoming talks of the future of the country will not be easy. As interim. Creatures will crush their own that have completely different political ideas and participation in civil. Liberties freedom of speech media pluralism all of that so all sides are facing marathon negotiations. As i can see calm nobody on the grand assembly is expecting a rapid result but the decision at least paves the way for peace talks aimed at ending almost 2 decades of war. Here in germany the center Left Social Democratic Party has announced its kind of this for chancellor in next years general election when under american heads into retirement at the end of or 4th and final term it is all our choice strongly the finance minister in the Coalition Government with michaels conservatives child has been polling as the countrys most popular s. P. D. Politician hes perceived as having skillfully responded to the Coronavirus Crisis with a multibillion euro stimulus package and thats buffering the economic fallout of the lets bring in our political response to tell us who is all our shows and why is he the chosen one to go for the chancery for the social democrats next year he is uncle americans finance minister which makes him number 2 in the current and in government he is angle americans deputy so whenever the german chancellor is on holiday or life choice acts temporarily as the german chancellor and interesting to me hes also the s. P. D. As most popular politician youve mentioned it but that is interesting because he used to have a very different image he used to be considered to lack charisma and was not really somebody who could appeal to voters about image has changed especially during the covert crisis so the s. P. D. Are now going with their strongest man and that is an interesting side because theyve essentially kick started the German Election Campaign now so yesterday nominated their strongest man but what heart are his chances of actually becoming the next chancellor. I would say if i go america was running for a 5th term then the chances would be very slim but since it isnt it is a very different ballgame and i believe that the s. P. D. Has recognized that opportunity they have essentially nominated the sounds like candida really early on in the game and that is putting the other parties under pressure to. Essentially present their own candidates and position themselves politically because the s. P. D. Is signaling with the nomination of salts that they have overcome all the infighting they used to be a very big debate about whether the s. P. D. Should move for the left or stay in the middle and the left starts is sort of the candidate where the s. P. D. Leadership is saying we are leaning to the left but he is more traditional so weve overcome our differences now to the other parties so as well youve got and we are ready for the election campaign.
