A new form of treatment. Students in hong kong have blocked parts of the city for a 5th day in a row over night protesters fired arrows some throw molotov cocktails from University Campuses are calling on the government to commit to holding local elections on november 24th demonstrators are gathering for a rally in the citys Business District on kong as experiencing one of its most violent weeks since the protests began back in june robin cry joins us now from hong kong so for the moment it looks relatively quiet behind you but give us a broader picture rob. Absolutely you would. Still love about an hour or so ago this place was booked with standstill with hundreds of people taking to the streets i think have done throughout this week here in the Central District that you were. We are in hong kong the heart of hong kong and other parts on the Hong Kong Island the the working week really ending as it began with these unprecedented flash mob type demonstrations seemingly trying to disrupt the working life of the city and doing it very successfully from the protesters point of view the Central District is now back for business once more people have left here there were a number of Office Workers who took part in this demonstration just donating masks despite the ban on Wearing Masks for the legal demonstration walking up and down this this is part of street where we are and it is now and it peacefully people have drifted away that hasnt been the case that was we know this week sometimes these have ended badly here on pettus street for example here is city banker there open for business as usual right next door though its not the same for the bank of communications of chinese owned bank but earlier this week in fact on tuesday had its windows broken smashed in that resulted in Police Coming here tear gas being fired and fights and suing thankfully we havent seen that today this this friday afternoon has ended peacefully and the city slowly seems getting back to normal show ok rob mcbride with the latest from hong kong thank you and there have been as really airstrikes on gaza and rocket fire towards israel just less than 24 hours after a cease fire was agreed to has really forces an islamic fighters exchanged across a border fire the violence began on tuesday after the israeli army assassinated a Senior Leader of the Islamic Jihad in gaza 34 palestinians have been killed sense rob matheson has more from lester islam. The last few hours in gaza have been quiet since those Israeli Military airstrikes were taking place against what the Israeli Military says were Islamic Jihad training grounds no in real terms we understand that means open and Agricultural Land in gaza that was being targeted but the Israeli Military no saying that that operation has been concluded this followed rockets that were fired from gaza into israel round about 10 pm on thursday night local time we dont know exactly how many rockets were fired we do have a sense that it was a smaller number than the number of rockets we have seen fired into israel over the last few days Israeli Military saying that at least one of those rockets had been downed by its iron dome Aerial Defense system this was coming at a time when things appeared to be returning to normal the crossings between gaza and israel had been reopened with goods and people moving through but also israel had reinstated the fishing limits and extended the fishing limits but for gaza fishermen as well but on thursday night Islamic Jihad we understand had released a video showing what it claimed to be a longer range rocket that Islamic Jihad had been using in the conflict in the previous few days which was able to reach further into israel and it said it was all palestinian made an Islamic Jihad a military wing spokesman said that the group also still had its finger on the trigger and later on thursday night we saw protests in northern gaza against the cease fire and we also understand that schools on the israeli side of the gaza border have been told to stay closed on friday now in past history shows us that a cease fire between gaza and israel does not mean that conflict immediately ends that there is almost always tailing off period as it were. After the announcement of a cease fire it is possible that that is what we are going through at the moment but since the ceasefire was announced in the early hours of thursday there have been rockets fired from gaza into israel at least 3 times both sides must be wondering whether the overall cease fire may still hold libyas former president evo morales says calling for International Assistance to end its political crisis made the comments in mexico where hes been forced into exile after disputed election results. I have plenty of confidence in the u. N. Because weve had extensive talks at the un secretarygeneral he has a lot of social conscience plenty of commitment to the poor he should be the mediator not just a facilitator accompanied by the Catholic Church and of pope francis is needed we should add him theres about has more. Thousands of protesters around bolivias president ial palace they came here to show support to their leader ever want to. Embed william is a 25 year old student he says hes warned about whats happening in his country. Its an interim government that does not represent us its filled with white people that look at us with racism and hatred we came here to show who the original people of bolivia really are on wednesday interim president anyone yes sure in a new cabinet in a place where bolivias mostly Indigenous Community was well represented and where this spirit of but mama or mother earth sacred to that community was once revered its now been replaced with a bible across and mostly non indigenous representatives. If people are demanding the resignation of. The i mean. Theyre also saying that now its time for civil war. To a seriously or and even though the new administration that they want to get by the. Most a they are. Not representative i like that. The government is trying to quell the protests with police and military presence on the street theyre also trying to paint a negative image of abel more alice and accuse him of excessive while in power by granting media access to his private quarters in the president ial palace given the vietnam record he lived like a rich man and spoke and defended the poor this is an example of something he did and everything he has robbed even morale has never allowed the media to come to the floors of the president ial house in spite of the deep divisions in this country members of moralists m a s party agreed to hold a Senate Meeting with the legislators of the new interim administration they fear the party will be banned and one to be allowed to participate in the elections as its unlikely it will more or less will be allowed to run. I would suggest to the movement for Socialism Party that from now on they have every right to participate in the general elections but they need to start looking for a candidate evo morales is not qualified for a 4th term thats why they have been so many protests by bolivians on the streets. People say they are protesting because they feel they new interim administration does not represent them and want to make sure they wont lose the rights they were granted when a woman alice came to power almost 14 years ago.
