So basically we will see a lot of negotiations a lot of trading between the member nations especially the key member nations who will try to get as much concessions as they can in the next few months before this deal finally takes off next year climate or an address that. Plenty more still ahead on the news hour including tens of thousands of protesters back on the streets of hong kong this time aiming their message at visitors arriving from the mainland. Well look at the dangers people desperate for a better life are facing on the mexico u. S. Border and there was heartbreak from a host egypt the africa cup of nations details in sport.

As you can see in these live pictures police are taking their positions perhaps to try and prevent a repeat of what happened last week with protesters storming the Legislature Building angry at government plans all what had been government plans to introduce legislation allowing extradition to the mainland times which was shelved. But not completely cancelled from a grind as the latest from hong kong. Literally thousands of people swamping the streets of calhoun district at home calling on this demonstration it several hours after the start of this march and the march is still going on the end of the march is the main terminus that. Hong kong to Mainland China by high speed rail that is now completely surrounded by thousands of demonstrators thing the whole object of this march according to the organizers was to educate mainland visitors who often come to this part of hong kong to do a lot of market luxury shopping and so on is to tell them all about the extradition route we have see a number of interactions between these protesters and also very long visitors that have been very good natured as theyve been handing out leaflets to many of these day long visitors who for the most part of being good news to see such a sight of course hong kong is one of the only cities in china where you could hold demonstrations like this the mood has not been so polite towards the police they have kept a largely low profile but according to these protesters they want not just the complete withdrawal of this controversial extradition bill they also want to see an investigation of Police Tactics despite police did not also theyve been using minimum force many of these protesters believe that police have been using excessive amounts of force against Peaceful Protesters and they want a full independent investigation. Voting closes in an hour in greeces general election the 1st since the end of the financial bailouts opinion polls are predicting a defeat for left wing Prime MinisterAlexis Tsipras he called an early election after his series of parties stinging loss in the European Parliament elections in may and hes expected to be ousted by the conservative new Democracy Party. Joins us now live from athens so its kind of interesting john that the country has been allowed back on the markets to borrow money and yet series is expected the ruling party is going to be punished why. Well 1st of all greece borrowed 256000000000 euros from its eurozone partners and a little of that came from the i. M. F. The International Monetary fund at an average of 2 percent interest its borrowing from markets at above 4 percent interest so going back to markets is a kind of freedom but it is also more expensive its not as though the greeks can borrow unlimited amounts they are also bound by the stability and growth pact of the eurozone to not supposed. To cent of g. D. P. In terms of their deficit each year and right now theyre aiming to do far far better than that which is to maintain a balanced budget because even going as far as one or 2 or 3 percent deficit might undermine market confidence in greece thats the 2nd reason why it doesnt make a lot of difference and the 3rd reason is that most of the money greece borrowed before from its partners and is borrowing now from the markets roughly 70 percent of that money goes towards repaying all debt turning over old debt about another 20 percent has gone to refinancing the banks because greeks have been failing to honor their loan commitments and repay their loans to the private sector and so the banks have been in danger of default only 10 percent of what greece borrowed from its partners and is borrowing from its from the markets has gone into the real economy so its not as though greece can now borrow large amounts and spend freely on the domestic economy and stimulate growth in that way it doesnt have the freedom to do that this is a symbolic freedom it signals that greece is bankable again to the International Markets and it has a long road ahead of it before it convinces those markets that it is sustainably bankable this is something i discussed earlier with my colleague. Really these a seasoned journalist and political commentator and this is how he described the gambit that faces new Democracy Conservative Party leader. If he does take the reins of government next week. What i term greek normality may not seem like normally to many other people because the the norm was overspending. Basing Economic Growth on consumption rather than productivity and competitiveness its very difficult to see where this is heading. Austerity has not ended the bailout programs have ended but those stared has not ended now new democracy it would be one of the greatest upsets in history if they dont win an outright majority tonight new democracy have been promising more growth orientated policies lowering taxes lowering Social Security contributions it all remains to be seen how feasible these are because the fiscal restraints remain in a vigil is no out yet. Very simply what all of this means is that new democracy appreciates that prosperity isnt going to come from the ability to borrow it is going to come from the Greek Economy is ability to generate growth generate new tax revenue for the government and show that the economy is extrovert export driven competitive within the Global Economy that is what you democracy says that it can achieve it is a difficult thing to achieve because the Greek Economy has been left without reform for many decades and so this is still a huge challenge even if there is a decisive electoral victory on sunday or a Johns Hopkins than from athens. Oh increased enforcement along the Us Mexico Border is expected to deter people from entering america with authorities participating and dissipating rather a 25 percent drop in arrests as venue or apollo reports and more desperate the still willing to risk their lives and freedom as they attempt to cross the potentially deadly. On the banks of the rio grande the mexican 1st responders are searching for a missing person its a joint operation between mexican authorities and u. S. Customs and Border Patrol theyre looking for a little girl about 3 years old the daughter of haitian migrants who crossed the river into the United States a few nights ago and. In this case unfortunately we are looking for a girl between 2 and 3 years old its best that we search down stream because shes the baby she could have been swept away easier than an adult weve also had cases where bodies are stuck deep in the water or in the surrounding brush. At a nearby camp for migrants we met 2 brothers from cuba theyve been here for almost a month while they are asylum cases are processed in the u. S. They tell us its quite common for migrants to get impatient and take to the river. There was one night were 80 people crossed others across the river 20 or 30 at a time including children sometimes younger than 2 years old. The camp has become a temporary home to more than 300 Asylum Seekers most of them are from west africa haiti and cuba. But not of those from angola hes been at the camp for more than a month he plays music most days to pass the time. We are expecting to wait here 23 or 4 months because there are many people ahead of us on the asylum list. Many of the people we spoke to at the camp like that an article say the plan to wait as long as it takes to cross into the u. S. Legally. But illegal crossings at the rio grande they have in. Recent recent months and so have drownings we were at a Municipal Cemetery in pierre that us nedas mexico where the bodies of migrants who died trying to cross into the United States are often brought in have these wooden crosses placed over their graves and this one here simply reads mail not identified pulled out of the rio approximately 300 meters from the black bridge in the neighborhood.
