To politics and we ever came by feel and indifference to the features candidates in philip resists president ial election play claims the result was rigged and there were clashes across the nation as president shango headed for a landslide victory. Tons holocaust of ours is killing the Indigenous People of brazil benefiting those clearing the amazon forest for agriculture. Welcome to the Program China is ramping up its crackdown on prodemocracy activists in Hong Kong Police in the territories say theyve carried out a National Security operation that has seen several people detained among those arrested activists agnus cha and media tycoon jimmy. As a lay as hong kongs most prominent prodemocracy campaigner an outspoken critic of beijings policies in the territory by his own newspaper reported he was being held for suspected collusion with Foreign Forces under the National Security law introduced in june this was the moment of arrest jimmy lie put into an on mock police van outside his home in hong kong. Then driven away. Police raided the Publishers Office late in the morning. He was then later brought to the offices of his Media Company mixed media the paper itself released these pictures mr light being escorted 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 a ration 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 media owner is the only high profile business person who so far has been willing to or could 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. Joining me now is hong kong prodemocracy activist place. First of all what is your reaction to jimmy lays arrest i am actually very shocked and im very angry about near as. Hard also shows that those communist party in china will not tolerate any kind of press freedom under its regime and its very dangerous or if we dont stress and. Freedom of the access to information and hunt and we bring that c. C. P. Its high its kind of like holding a whole hong kong as a hostage in response to the sanctions that has been posed by the us yesterday in the last week. You think trying to send a message to activists like well like yourself. Yes i believe so i think he is trying to send a message to tell us that one by one they were arrest us all because today not only general i was being arrested agnes chala friend and also a very well resourced freelance journalist in Hong Kong Wilson lee is also being arrested and they are all actually kind of prominent figures were there within the active circle that is clearly sending a message that they have been setting their red line and if anyone dared to cross that then they will know they will not hesitate to rest us and detain us 2000 us from speaking out ever again when i think your fellow activists how is this going to affect the prodemocracy movement i mean you are not in hong kong at the moment you think more people will leave. I think it is a personal choice of someone the hong kong or not but i feel like that there will be more people leaving because theres not much that one can do within under does National Security law it is impossible to fight for International Support when you are not when you are in hong kong because that will lead you to socalled collusion with Foreign Forces so i believe that some activists will leave hong kong in the coming few coming few weeks but i think that there will be a lot of i think those who are staying because not only that they will want to stay in hong kong but also that there has what has been hold by the authorities that made it impossible for them to leave for example joshua long has his house were being held by those who is authority that means that he cannot ever be hong kong after his case is through and i doubt that if the communist party is going to let him come so if you look at your situation would you go back to hong kong right now or would that be for you personally too risky. I dont feel like going back to hong kong right now yes i feel like that my personal. Danger yes i am still working on and the nationals are lobbying at this moment and i still have my studies that we finished year so were turning to hong kong at the moment is not choice for me pleasure thank you very much for this and other some of the other stories making headlines around the world today lebanon has been rocked by an rest with clashes between protesters and Security Forces 3 government ministers have now stepped down after last weeks devastating explosion is in beirut that killed more than 150 people the demonstrators blame the countrys political elite for corruption and negligence in afghanistan an assembly of tribal leaders has approved the release of 4 1100. 00 taliban prisoners the decision was indorsed by president musharrafs gani who is seeking peace talks with the militants to end the 19 year war the taliban says its ready to start negotiations with the government after the Prisoner Exchange is completed. U. S. Health secretary other czar has met taiwanese president siding when in taipei the highest level u. S. Visit to taiwan in 4 decades is acid he was there to convey a strong message of support from u. S. President donald trump the visit has been strongly condemned by china which claims taiwan as its territory. Together is now where the Election Commission says president Alexander Lukashenko won a landslide 80 percent of the vote in sundays election but the opposition candidates for atlanta kind of scale says the result was rigged and she was the real winner germanys government says it has strong doubts about the results which triggered clashes across the us. Many voted and many openly supported the opposition but official figures total different story a story the opposition candidate rejected on monday. When youre so close to the storm we dont agree with the results we have absolutely contradictory information we have official protocols from many polls stations where the number of votes in my favor a many times that for another candidate. Were gathering proof or falsification and we have people who are ready to confirm fraud at poll stations. Surely its a little before. Others had already demanded a different narrative on sunday night. As this was the capital minsk after the big result solution co was announced. They knew they were taking a risk the president had warned them. That just follow the northeast and any talk of repression will disappear the lore 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 called Law Enforcement i told them there is no need for a heavy response you. Must get used to the brutes. Many at 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 the russian democracy. Brought up just that since 25 years we havent seen trian elections until i was at all but i think not any election before has been as much fake this one i think that its a clear fake election that you cannot call an election. Feel sorry were 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 mean now is bill or isnt the journalist analyst from iraq via talk 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. Its the whole i think majority of belarusians do not believe its real results i think these numbers are fake because you know how elections are being the regular dollars that 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 thought for the Commission Members is to do this balance into the files so their servers in the Pilot Service can see their pilot unfortunately or fortunately were question will not recognize a few lost hes definitely in minority right now and he definitely has the crisis of legitimacy from the people in maine people in 30 other cities that were protesting less why they believe the question can receive more than 2025 percent the folds and now the question if if there are men who are a few shells and they will they will switch to side and they will support the will of people. Well if the start line is going to scare says that she will not accept the result what harm what what can she do well what are her options. Its a bunch of animals i was brave enough to stay in the others because my prediction yesterday to one of foreign media was that to day all of the leaders of opposition will be to cough to be already said logical most case free your team may not have a list because hes still a free and the 3rd inmate fled the country ready. And also have promised in case they feel fresh and called a much changed his position in the law to begin that was she a shelf she will join the protesters these are about the most terrible cold people to profit it will change the situation. No matter what and i dont think much more people will eventually up on the streets yesterday weve seen 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 full 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 radio saloon wrong to run out of people to program the stone and throw the stone into a police line and the 2nd time i saw when people were throwing efforts for oranges i didnt see and in greece a warm store apple some orange juice 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 blink and die soon as well after yesterday profit.

Youre watching the news still to come. Can a stall economy save chinas stalled economy beijing moves to empower Street Vendors after trying to push them to the sidelines. But here in germany the center Left Social Democratic Party has announced its candidate for chancellor in next years general election when america heads into retirement at the end of her 4th and final term its all of shorts currently the finance minister in the Coalition Government with merkels conservatives so it has been polling as the countrys most popular s. P. D. All that issue is perceived as having skillfully responded to the coronavirus prices with a multibillion euro stimulus package ended buffering the economic fallout. And just short while ago short said his social democrats had the best plan to guide germany and europes recovery from the crisis and confront new challenges its begin a new era is beginning not only in the sense of how we shape the time after corona but also that the next decade will be about how we can manage the future of our country how we manage the future of europe and who has the best plan we are firmly convinced that this is the social Democratic Party with them disappear and were joined now by Political Correspondent nina tell us who is all of shorts and why is he the chosen one to stand as the candidate for the s. P. D. For chance to ship. Well he is angloamerican finance minister you said he is the number 2 in America Current government and hes also her official deputy that means whenever she goes away on holiday for example of charles temporarily stands in as german chancellor and he is the s. P. D. As most popular politician you said it and that is interesting because that was not always the case his image has changed in the corona crisis he did manage to present himself as a skillful crisis manager and before the corona crisis he was often seen as somebody who lacked charisma who didnt appeal to voters the left wing of his party criticized him for some of his positions and now theyre saying look voters weve overcome our differences weve chosen our strong man and were speaking with one voice. So what are the chances of actually becoming the next german chancellor. Well if angloamerican was running again which she isnt then the chances would be very slim indeed but since she is not this is a very different ball game and i believe that the s. P. D. Has recognized that america is going to be leaving a gap in the center for voters who want to send to focus call it takes and the s. P. D. Is now trying to fill that gap with the left sort of course by nominating him so early on in the game theyre also putting the other partys under pressure to prison their candidates and to position themselves politically and so they want to gain as much capital as they can but ultimately of course his chances of it will also depend on just how the pandemic the corona pandemic will unfold here in germany of the next coming months it will depend on the other candidates mainly the greens on the conservatives who are the s. P. D. Most important challenges and then it will also depend on the s. P. D. Itself who will have to show whether theyve really overcome that infighting and that struggle for direction whether they need to turn more left or stay in the middle and whether they will manage to present themselves as a united force.
