From kill stick our Hong Kong International starting to resemble an airport once again this morning passengers on the move departure boards no longer a sea of red cancellations the signs of the crippling protest still visible on disc one to travelers to. Stop the protests but at the end of the day were going to stop the blind protesters because were the ones caught in the middle of the sandwich. And you know arm already 2 days late getting to where im going to be. Thats costing me money here Port Authority was not visible to all the condos were simply closed all gone you closed the condos. Hours earlier riot Police Clashed with protesters a mob cornered one officer snatching his box on. The floor he drew his gun remarkably no one was killed. Elsewhere the captured this man believed to be an undercover policeman. He was kicked and beaten eventually made it real to him to safety. Authority said the violence among to torture large number of protesters was surrounding and attacking Police Officers and vehicles some were even pointing laser beams and the negotiation carter officer who was trying to defuse the situation and help extricate the injured visitors. It will cause a cure it seems frightening the safety of everyone on sides now though concerns of a much bigger conflict these images appear to show Chinese Military build up in a stadium just over the border in chains and that is consistent with mainland media report and raises the specter of an unprecedented confrontation on the streets of hong. And we can speak to joshua wang he is a Student Activist the secretary general of the prodemocracy party demis so sisto hes also been taking part in these protests joshua thank you for joining us i want to ask you about some of the images that we saw from the airport yesterday there were some ugly scenes of clashes between protesters and police there we also saw protesters attacking 2 men they believed to have been from Mainland China has these protests gotten out of hand we experienced a life threatening weapon were used by a pole is when police fired more than 2000 tear gas in the past 2 months and arrest 700 activists including one young lady the result in permanent blindness because of 5 bullets of riot police however no one would notice you clash and it went even further in any kind of protests thats why we still continue to hope to have more peaceful ways to uphold and to go out with them on no matter the urgent government to terminated the extradition bill stop produce brutality and with our course for free election boards i hope people around the world could aware that how Hong Kong Government official just stayed behind all those royal porteous and keep silence they are the one who are congo every supposed vote to respond to peoples their money but they are just serving the interests of beijing be the puppet of communist authorities ok so youre saying youre protecting yourselves in the face of print police brutality. Weve seen these images of chinese troop carriers on the move to hong kong and we also saw the office on hong kong a ferris calling these terrorists like incidents these are very strong words are you worried about a crackdown coming from Mainland China. Or class should not be defined or so this kind of Chilling Effect generated by beijing i urge World Leaders should prefer new tenement square massacre in hong kong happen again then they should be to want freedom and democracy we know that the protest is just a fight in court a fundamental right we have to be elected i will own government no matter people agree or disagree on that they must all people sending troops and the whole call to suppress one protest absolutely should not be the solution i hope will be do is put into a round the world no matter the Prime Minister or the president they should speak out and Pay Attention to the chaos generated by care woodland and president xi jinping in hong kong just can i ask what are you and protesters fighting for at the moment this started these protests started surrounding an extradition bail to Mainland China if that were to be permanently withdrawn with that mean that the protests would also stop protests well call and when you in every week and until International Day because we are not only urging government to terminate to the bill we are also asking for the right to elect our own government we hope to have a genuine universal suffrage to get a vote to vote in an election thats the fundamental right enjoyed by people in europe since last century but hong kong is do have a long tough talk with the market see and we would never step backward and we would Never Surrender under the hot line group of companies we keep gesture he said you also want the right to elect your own government you were one of the leaders of the Umbrella Movement back in 2014 fighting precisely for that the right to vote for your own candidates to represent your territory but that did not happen so do you think that these protests will be successful. In the battle of they pick versus goliath is not a easy and simple battle we may face a lot of crackdown and suppression but we were never a step backward because hong kong is the place where people stand in a fall from to calling for an authoritarian rule just like is fairly in the last century and we will continue until a day we get that genuine democracy and we hope people around the world can be our allies to support us right activist joshua wang speaking to us now from hong kong thank you and so much for joining us on the program thank you.

Here in germany there are concerns that the country could be headed towards a recession the latest growth figures show that europes largest economy shrank by 0 point one percent in the last quarter thats after posting sluggish growth in the 1st 3 months of the year and none at the end of last year thats months being blamed on the low sales of Machine Parts and cars to china and a difficult global trade environment if the economy contracts again in the next quarter germany would officially be in a recession. We have Christopher Coke or from v. W. Business with us to tell us more about the story how christensen so explain whats behind the slump but much of it can be linked to a dispute that germany is actually part of its a traceback between the United States and china and in light of that the overall climate for companies exporting to the United States has soured also a direct result of it is the. Demand in china which is the 2nd largest economy in the world has gone down so much less demand for for german products there as well. Also the auto sector traditionally very strong in germany has had its fair share of problems in the last couple of years that added also to the balls that weve seen in the 2nd quarter now the messy consumption does remain strong but in an economy thats still heavily depending on the open and free trade its mainly the global uncertainty thats feeding directly into industrial sectors of all sectors its the hitherto invincible industrial sector thats begun to drag on germanys economy for years its been the driving force behind the recovery but no longer german Industrial Production in june 29000. 00 was 5 point 2 percent down on june last year thats the largest reversal since the Global Financial crisis and recession 10 years ago exports of also long been a pillar of the economy also a thing of the past right now germanys exports in june 29th teen were shocking 8 percent lower than in june 28th. Industrial companies are dealing with a number of factors the trade war between the us and china is exerting a drag on the Global Economy. Fee is also surround brags that the u. K. s impending departure from the e. U. Germanys Energy Transition the switch to Sustainable Energy sources is still very much work in progress and adding to the countrys woes its Flagship Auto industry is struggling with homemade troubles they include the notorious diesel emission scandal the conversion to electric drive systems and problems with digitalisation in general. Polies issues are combining to weigh on Overall Economic output. And with the outlook not appearing too promising either it could well be that the e. U. Is number one economy is heading steadily towards recession. So chris how bad would it really be if germany were to fall into recession well that depends on how severe the recession actually is i mean we were sort of in the same kind of situation back in 20122013 there was a small recession but you know in hindsight it was much much more of a statistical occurrence and by the looks of it despite the Global Economy having slowdown Global Growth having slowed down we are far away from the major downturn that we saw in 2009 however its true Economic Growth has been weak for a year. There has been stagnation around the end of last year little growth at the beginning of the year and now contraction again and economists say that this does hovering around the rate of stagnation would actually be an indicator that the whole Business Model during the German Economy has might be running out just right so what is the German Government actually doing about this little so far yesterday a chance like a metal reiterated that yes the German Economy may be facing difficult times but she doesnt see the need for a Stimulus Program yet she says the government would act as the Situation Requires in light of the fresh figures that came out earlier today the economy minister floated the idea of lowering taxes for corporations for example but there are people that say now would be the time to act rather than waiting until the downturn has worsened now it would be the time to act when the economy is still in somewhat somewhat good shape and they are calling for an Investment Program into digitalisation something. That would be rather good for the country into infrastructure and into means that would combat Climate Change but so far no word on that from the German Government all right chris october from business thank you very much. Now in northeastern nigeria a group of young men and women are taking the fight against boko haram into their own hands of a calling themselves the civilian joint task force and they say the army has failed to protect the people they form the Vigilante Group in 2013 with the aim of driving the islamist fighters out of their towns and cities these young people armed themselves not just with guns but also with daggers machetes sticks iron bars but some fear that these defenders might one day themselves be the cause of trouble elicit progress reports from my degree. The city of my degree during the islamic festival of. Muslim families intermingle s. Groups of blue clad civilian paramilitaries stand guard against possible attacks something they say the army has failed to do the young president s begin themselves in 2013. Male. Today the civilian has around 26000 members many a School Dropouts who serve little as if to fighting in the militia their growth has left residents worried that my degree is turning increasingly violent activist ahmed qurei is one of them locals call him a peace ambassador of the blues and the more government counters in inappropriate manner the more. You know you know aggressive are people who are trying to be is giving its changing the mindset of our people our people on the right becoming violent by today and i have to fight to survive. Out of every month he gathers members of the community to build networks of activists and to work on Education Programs one initiatives. Aims to encourage young people to return to school and to speak out against hate speech and hear them courageous our community. Before we had all year to read to school time you were being it says both sides are very. Kind of also help especially he helps me with casual damast of a major advance with his history major currys official motto is home of peace but peace disappeared when boko haram came says mr downer he hopes that the lorry will push harder to improve the situation. However many youngsters admired the civilian joint task force now while yusuf a research at the university of my degree calls it of resistance culture of violence this village idea what they are doing really attract a young ones. To join them are also to be like them they are supposed to be in the school in the Primary School and is there and its about not fighting broke out of an arab bomb mohammad is checking worshippers for weapons she joined the militia when she was 17 after poke around had killed her husband and father she prides herself on being braver than her male co fighters nevertheless she still dreams of becoming a doctor. I wasnt there but it is a shock that we are hopeful that one day we will study and get good jobs and i might add all government has promised is that thats how i feel if i could but for now the civilian j t s does not expect a defeat anytime soon they continue to recruit new members steadily and militarizing my degree and so grows the need to offer its youth and ill turn it to a future perhaps ended then can the city reclaim its place as a home of peace. To music company. These have canceled appearances by opera singer placidyl domingo that comes after numerous allegations of Sexual Harassment and inappropriate behavior against a 78 year old in a statement a man go called the accusations deeply troubling he said he believed his interactions and relationships were always welcome and consensual the los angeles opera with the star tanner is general director is launching an investigation. Lets get more on the story with rick holker from d. W. Culture hi rick so what exactly is plus a go to mingle being accused of and who is accusing him will 9 women have come forth each singers and one dancer and have said that he promised them Career Opportunities if the agreed to his advances and if they refused there was a dent in their career apart from these one of them has actually named her name her name is Patricia Wolfe shes in a retired meant to soprano apart from there some 3 dozen women who have come forth and said over a period of 30 years there have been inappropriate behavior from the singer sexually sexually changed interesting is his reaction he has said yes hes very sorry if you caused anyone distress and he says he also observes that todays standards about by which we must be judged are very different from the way they were a few years ago which isnt admitting guilt but it is kind of it in acknowledgement that we are in changing times but we are seeing a fallout already a number of offer companies have canceled scheduled appearances by domingo what locations could this have for the world of opera. Well 1st of all beyond domingo were looking at kind of different behavior in the United States in europe. Apart from 2 cancellations in philadelphia and San Francisco the metropolitan opera new york is said there decided still waiting for the investigation of the l. A. Opera to see if he would be won or not but his appearances are scheduled for september and october i go to the tour deck and thats pretty interesting hes over in Europe Domingo is set schedule to sing it is all to book festival on august 25th and 31st and those things are going on as planned the president of the south for festival startles hop lawyer has said that she would find it humanly. In this for the humanly inappropriate to make a judgment at this time and to base decisions on that judgment and hes also scheduled for 3 appearances at the vienna state opera. In the remainder of the year so just kind of a different take on it in europe still right that begs the question you know the Media Movement does lead to more revelations about Sexual Harassment also in Classical Music and opera is that actually changing anything. And i think its too early to say whether power structures will change but they are certainly being questioned right you know and this recalls an earlier incident more than an incident it was a major eruption in the Classical Music scene when james devine the long serving music director of the metropolitan opera had to step down because of decades of allegations of Sexual Harassment these are the types of things that apparently have been swept under the rug because of the stellar reputations of these 2 men and only in in the toe of the need to movement have these things been coming out i suspect that the so this is only the tip of the iceberg and that in fact much more will be revealed in the months and years to come. Rick folk are speaking to us to thank you very much. Turning now to brazil and the fight over the amazon rain forest one where many people have much at stake thousands of Indigenous Women travel to the capital brasilia on tuesday to rally against president gyre both n. R. O. They say that hes in effect declared war on their people by pledging to open indigenous reserve land to mining and agriculture around 13 percent of brazils National Territory is allocated for their use shares more internal land battle. Dense rain forest in the state of pariah an area twice the size of frumps this is home to many of brazils Indigenous People but its also the site of many get in post illegal gold mines the small scale mines use mercury for extraction which subsequently leaks into the surrounding area but lots of little interest to brazils far right president. He wants such mining legalized. My mining minister is working on a law to legalize gold mining not just on private land but also in indigenous reserves. Brazils Indigenous People live in protected reserves something no previous democratically elected president has ever called into question. Now however the areas a guarded only by brazils environmental all summer to ease. Their Police Officers are heavily armed and gold diggers one of their main targets. Knew whom the government should be supporting new Environmental Police so that we can protect the rain forests we were. Shortly afterwards the Environmental Police drop in on some illegal gold miners. Was there making a quick buck at the rain forest sixpence. I work here just like anyone else searching for gold should i go out and steal instead you lot are against it and donate money to greenpeace and co. But such complaining doesnt help the Police Destroy the machines even though these will almost certainly be replaced in a matter of days president both n. R. O. Is critical of the environmental also overseas including best stance on illegal logging. But i will find those responsible for these excessive measures its unacceptable to set others property alight to destroy machines and trucks thats how i see it. Much of the land bordering the reserve has already been lost to large scale agriculture satellite images reveal how the area has changed over the years yet any concerns expressed by foreign leaders about the rapid rise in deforestation in brazil are swiftly dismissed by its leader. Going to brazil is like a virgin the foreigners just want a bit of her. For a cure. Both scenarios apparent lack of regard for his own countrys Natural Resources is a bitter blow for brazils Indigenous People so far their concerns seem of little importance to him.
