Council but so far no signs that the situation has changed. Hello im terry martin good to have you with us china has condemned what its calling gross interference by other countries in hong kong following volume protests in the country in the territory i should say china expressed resolute opposition to statements made by the us britain and the e. U. In support of demonstrators a tense calm has now returned to the city after protesters stormed infantilized the Parliament Building yesterday. The cleanup is underway. At Hong Kongs Legislative Council building the police have moved in after the protest has moved out. The citys leaders have condemned the destruction of. The Legislative Council complex has been stalled and extensively damaged the police its not gathering evidence in the complex. Past lets go faster than i strongly condemn the serious widens that undermines the poll bad it was all phone call. Just hours before the protesters were able to smash their way in with nobody standing in their way. Previous demonstrations have been largely peaceful but with the hong kong executive offering only limited concessions campaigners say they had little choice i understand people. And hong kong all right the world might not 100 percent agree or disagree on all of that be a fear of protesters but where more than 25 percent of the population knows more the True Ministry will join to read it already but all the requests have to acknowledge it so its bad anyway out. Of the 1st beijing usually celebrates the return of hong kong to china this year it broke its silence over the ongoing unrest images of police clearing away protesters was shown for the 1st time on Chinese State media. Activists in hong kong pushing for the withdrawal of the bill that would allow suspects to be sent to china to face trial the issue has become a focal point through sentiment towards beijing with the Chinese Government now demanding a criminal investigation a resolution is still a long way off. Cross over to hong kong. As standing by material its calm there so far we understand but still the protesters demands havent been met today how is this going to play out anything. Yeah as you can see people are assessing the damage the lawmakers have shown up here around this Legislative Council to see what happened what the what the scene looks like today the protesters have disappeared its unlikely that they will disappear forever how have it because as you said their demands have not been met and discontent is still strong now this these scenes yesterday they have of course shocked many people and we will have to see how this plays out in the future but what about the leaders in beijing what do they make of all of this. They have condemned the violence they have also condemned foreign interference whenever foreign governments european or american mostly western governments have commented on these events they see this as an interference they see this and tiley as their own affair although they have an International Contract by ending them to the status of hong kong thats walking a thin line with their own public right now because they do not want a broader discussion about protests but they often cause want to influence the Public Opinion in a way that would make people follow their interpretation which is too much democracy leads to chaos so we have seen a multifaceted approach here we see the awful new official newspapers who kept news about these clashes yesterday low they would be low the news about the celebrations that were held but they still try of course to influence the public and to prevent a spillover of this wish for democracy onto the chinese mainland test thank you did obviously ts berlinger there in hong kong. For the tussle for the e. U. Hughes top job is taking center stage in brussels again today european leaders have been arriving for a 3rd day of talks to determine who will take over from john as you Commission President the discussions have revealed to define its head of a summit france and germany had both agreed to back the dutch social democrat. But his nomination has met with stiff resistance from Eastern European leaders like andre. Cross straight over to brussels where our correspondent is standing by max 28 countries trying to agree on a new head of the e. U. Commission are they getting any closer. Well the thing that really changed from yesterday is that they got a good nights sleep so everybody had the chance to think things over and thats the hope also that the german chancellor Angela Merkel expressed when arriving here she said maybe. We need to be a little more creative we everybody has to give a Little Something we got some sleep and so she said shes approaching this in its cheerful yet determined manner but other than that we havent gotten any closer no ok so no closer no compromise in sight already after so many hours of negotiations how is this going to get sorted out. Well probably not unanimity. The press conference yesterday already hinted she does not expect unanimity as we often had in the past here in the European Union so they will try to find the largest possible majority its unclear how our large that can be in the end but we do know that the need to represent 65 percent of the european population and 21. 00 countries so thats the majority you need to get something through and in the end theyll probably settle for the for the model where you can get the most of those those 2. Actors but which one that is we just dont know it is entirely possible that the number of the names weve been hearing yesterday and also sunday will be completely dumped and we end up with a new set of ideas and the package of appointments for the top tier jobs will ideally achieve a political geographical and gender balance im told but in going for that is there not a risk that your leaders will not respect what you citizens voted for parliamentary elections 6 weeks ago. Wed thats an argument we hear a lot here but the will of the people is represented in the European Union its just a little more complicated for example the leaders that decide not entirely by themselves but a lot on on this package are elected themselves and then all of this has to be approved later on by the European Parliament so the will of the people is there its just not as straightforward as in a national election. Ok and finally max to morrow i understand the European Parliament supposed to elect its a president thats one of those top jobs so what does that mean for the other appointments. Yes well if they havent agreed on a pact a cheer leader is and the European Parliament goes ahead and elects its parliamentary president nevertheless then thats the 1st domino to fall and it spells trouble for the rest of the package so many expect the parliament to hold off even longer if they dont agree here today in brussels on a package the leader that leaders that is but it also adds some pressure to the leaders here even more pressure but you know the Parliament Just going ahead voting if there is no package seems unlikely at this point nice thank you very much for filling us in on those complicated negotiations that was max hoffman that in brussels.
