A naval base for now theyre not calling is a terrorist instance. Will have an exclusive report from nasiriya one of the epicenters of violence during antigovernment protests in iraq. A fire in a crowded market in indias capital new delhi has killed more than 40 people it happened in the south marketplace rescue workers say they did Everything Possible to save people trapped by the flames that it wanted to get rid of 150 firefighters are involved in the operation the risky people have been sent to hospitals the operation is underway and we believe a few people are still inside the building aljazeera reports from new delhi she says the building was often disregarded in the construction of such such sites. The Delhi Government has also ordered. Inquiry into this case and the delhi police has escalated to the level at which the this is going to be investigated and the case has been transferred to from normal police the crime branch of delhi police so that is sort of an indication that the government is trying to send a message that they are taking this seriously we have a disaster last year weve had several such disasters unifiers reaching out to across the country and many people say these are disasters waiting to happen because safety norms there are a regularly not followed flouted by the building owners these factories this i believe is a bad manufacturing factories and in this area there were several other walk shops although small factories one can call them were operating and they dont usually follow any norms its sort of Common Knowledge here thats really not done and hence these are disasters that are waiting to get a weekend to happen we also believe that this is a very crowded market as are many other markets in delhi and across the country where cheap labor is brought in theyre made to work long hours theyre paid very little and on top of that they also have to stay where they work as happened in this case these laborers slept in their factory during the night im assuming thats what they did that is where that was their home too because of fire took place early in the morning so they were inside the factory when this happened. Thousands of people marching through the streets of hong kong to demand greater protection for human rights that marking 6 months since the beginning of protests calling for greater democratic freedoms police approved sundays march but theyve warned that theyll break it up if theres any violence lets go live to hong kong now to serious atrium brown is thats adrian 6 months on one of these protests actually achieved. That was. Well the protesters would argue that i have managed to achieve one thing they managed to get the government to was actually withdraw that controversial extradition bill which triggered the protests that began as you say exactly 6 months ago but they had so far failed to get the government to see to their other demands i have 5 demands in total the 2 most important ones are an independent commission of inquiry into Police Action during the past 6 months and also more democratic reform of the hong kong so far carry land has basically said shes not prepared to deal with those issues until such time as the violence dies down completely she is in many ways adrian a lame duck leader but a leader who continues to enjoy public at least the backing of they do ship in beijing now before this protest got underway today and so far to say it has been peaceful there was one all menace development by the Police Announce they had arrested 11 people following the raids on a number of addresses own in hong kong in which they seized a glock semiautomatic pistol and more than 100 bullets and they say they believe this pistol and other weapons theyve also taken were going to be used against the police during this march the demonstration is once more a reminder that the voice of protest in hong kong remains undiminished the home it began peacefully on june the 9th. With a march against a bill for an extradition deal with china and the protest movement might well have ended then if hong kongs chief executive kerry lamb had heeded their demand. Absolutely a man had succeeded with the withdrawal of the bill to safeguard our freedom nothing would have happened. Never saw him self as a front line activist but thats what hes become hes been arrested and forced to leave home. I told my dad were going out to fight for the rights we deserve we had a big fight and after that he said move out move out if you dont want to stay at home anymore. Benson was also there when protesters smashed their way into the heart of hong kongs government the debating chamber of the Legislative Assembly many wearing the hard hats and face masks that have become symbols of this leaderless movement. As the long hot summer rolled on the air became more toxic. It was now. Many in white chasing and beating those in black the color of the protest movement. Tara. Tara but terrorism aided by foreign hands is how beijing defined it after its Liaison Office in hong kong was attacked and defaced. Mainland owned businesses were also targeted. As were transport links subway stations were vandalized and forced to shut tunnels were closed. And thousands of Flights Canceled after protesters occupied the International Airport arrivals lounge chinese leaders have repeatedly warned they would send in the Peoples Liberation army to restore order yet that still hasnt happened they fear that if they work mobilize the Peoples Liberation Army Garrison in hong kong than china will lose face because the training 3 years of chinese rule. They have not won the hearts and minds in Hong Kong Police figures reflect a society tearing itself apart at least 2 deaths more than 10000. 00 tear gas canisters fired and almost 6000. 00 arrests. More fatalities seem possible after students turned a University Campus into a fortress the fiery standoff with police becoming a defining moment of the unrest in spite of the violence local elections went ahead with voters sending a clear message of support to those agitating for greater democracy a few days later there was another setback for chinas leaders u. S. President donald trump signed into law a bill aimed at protecting human rights in hong kong and punishing those deemed responsible for suppressing them adrian you said in your report there that china has threatened to intervene why hasnt it done so. Well i think thats one of the big the perplexing questions here i think one of the reasons why china hasnt intervene militarily as it to do so would effectively ended the special status of hong kong enjoys china has an awful lot invested here financially so if it did intervene it risks losing an awful lot of money also if china were to send in the Peoples Liberation army it would also be confirmation that china has failed to win hearts and minds here in hong kong so for the moment they have opted to do nothing to compete to continue offering their support to carry on of course to hong kongs a Beleaguered Police fools i think there is a course you know still an indication as willy lam indicated in my report the cheating thing is facing i think pushed back at some levels within the communist party just a few weeks ago for instance a very sensitive tranche of documents was leaked to the New York Times newspapers these were bland documents and these were detailing it in forensic detail exactly what chinas government is doing in shin jang right now where more than a 1000000 ethnic newsmen week is being detained that shows i think you know that at some levels there are officials who are not happy with what president xi jinping is doing in chiang jang and also here in hong kong.

And the countries aiming to crush it if you didnt know lithium is the minerals of the moment by smartphones laptops and crucially electric car batteries a growing market its become especially important as the countries face not just a political crisis but an economic downturn.
