Epicenters of violence during antigovernment protests in iran. And spoil and you know who is has admitted he was overweight and out of shape for his a rematch with anthony just one just for reclaimed his heavyweight title dealt with a point when over in saudi arabia. A lot of protest leaders in hong kong say 800000. 00 people have marched through the city there demanding greater democratic freedoms and human rights the march is the culmination of 6 months of protests police approved sundays event but warned they would not tolerate a repeat of recent violent protests and just before the march began police displayed a handgun and ammunition they said were recovered in. A raid they say the weapon would have been used to in their words create chaos during the rally lets get the latest now from adrian brown who is live for us in hong kong so adrian huge numbers of protesters have been marching through the streets there throughout the day and into the evening where things stand right now. Well the crowd you can see behind me not protest as in fact this is mostly media and 1st a teams the march ended several hours ago it was a largely peaceful march and the organizers say up to 800000 people took part if that is the case that means by my reckoning thats the 3rd largest protests we had here in hong kong since the protest Movement Began 6 months ago on monday they chanted many things during the march on sunday but the dominant mantra was this 15. 00 demands not one less that of course refers to the demand that they protesters are making for there to be an independent commission of inquiry into Police Actions during the past 6 months and of course theyre cool for food universal suffrage but of course universal suffrage is not something that can happen overnight that many of these protesters are impatient for that to happen it was another reminder that the voice of protest in hong kong is far from diminished. 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 to know absolutely found a man had succeeded with the withdrawal of the bill to safeguard our freedom nothing would have happened benson ho never saw himself as a frontline activist but thats what hes become hes been arrested and forced to leave home choreo. 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 a color many in white chasing and beating those in black the color of the protest movement. Tara i said again 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 would transport planes the 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 after 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 so adrian no point was made in your report there that if allowed the possibility of chinese intervention into sending the army in there and the drawbacks with that but if theyre hoping then that these protests will just kind of fizzle out and the men turn will will die out there certainly isnt any indication of that 6 months on is there. All right looks like weve lost our connection to a generic apologies for that lets bring in steve saying in tokyo via skype he is the director of the China Institute at so as university of london thanks very much for being with us let me ask you that question then if they are they hoping are the chinese authorities in beijing simply hoping that that these protests will that the momentum will eventually die away yes i think beijing is very much hoping for that and it is actually a bit more then just hoping they are actively trying to root in morocco or. They ringback are also trying to law allow hong kong economies to get into difficulties which you are that peoples livelihood in hong kong and all these unmanned. And to bring people in hong kong to stop the protests so what do you think the i mean as far as front from the protesters point of view there doesnt seem to me i mean they they got it they made a huge accomplishment in in getting that extradition or put aside permanently and that was that was seen as a huge success from that but since then they they havent really achieved much tangible so far have they where do they go from here. De paul chanced to have changed in terms of nature and focused from this summer. When it all started in june it was about the n. T. Is about the extradition you now difficult as it is really not about the extradition bill it is about governance in hong kong how do police behave d and whether hong kong can have democratic accountability and nest those are being met. Isnt it big issue any longer but so far what youre talking about there that those goals have not been met at least not from the point of view of the the government there there doesnt seem to be any indication of this point. Of things changing and people there getting more democratic freedoms do you do you expect this stalemate to continue. I expect this to continue for ready ready some months. Beijing is not going to make concessions and the protesters will continue to protest we already seemed them going back to the streets trying to send a clear message to the governments in hong kong and in beijing to get them to go and work for a political solution and one in 10 years from impressive falls and then you also have the government in hong kong led by the chief executive who is frankly politically illiterate and doesnt understand what needs to be done and and does not have the courage to do what it takes to bring a political solution so this will continue for a few more months i think to talk us through it saying thanks for being with us youre welcome. Are plenty more ahead on this news hour. With. More on the search for migrants and refugees mauritanians coast. Africas largest lake is in danger and communities depending on like demanding action. Last night or in sport tiger woods its problems in the bahamas and us here what thats. All are still ahead but 1st a fire in indias capital has killed at least 43 people it tore through one of the oldest markets and burnt down a factory the worst fire in the city in more than 2 decades mohamed reports. The blaze broke out while many were still asleep in an arch monday in the old quarter of delhi and he was suffocated by smoke as they slept. Police and firefighters try to save dozens of factory workers but for some it was a ready too late crowds gathered watching as the smoke rose from the multiStory Building and connecting sites. Some people were sleeping in the factory and they didnt wake up it was a short circuit there was a fire and 2 buildings with a common staircase. People were taken to hospital in any way possible before ambulances arrived at the scene. The factory is close to one of the citys largest markets the narrow streets made it more difficult for Emergency Services to fight the fire and reach the injured better method to do it all. We have rescued 52 people so far we got a call at 522 this morning and deployed 4 fire engines and then later sent 35150 firefighters are involved in the operation the rescue people have been sent to hospitals the operation is underway and we believe a few people are still. Inside the building more than 18000000 people live in delhi its one of the worlds most densely populated cities the city has struggled to enforce modern fire safety codes earlier this year a fire swept through a hotel killing 17 people. The next day a fire broke out at a card factory. As Emergency Services searched the wreckage the government says they will be a full investigation into the cause of the fire. Aljazeera. Is live for us in new delhi so on what is the latest there right now. What we know is that the delhi police has detained the owner of this 4 Story Building and also charged the owner with this under section 304 which essentially is culpable homicide not amounting to murder the police has also said that they did not find any Safety Equipment inside the building after the inspection and owner of this building had not secured any sort of fire clearance we were also talking to a lot of people who live in that area very congested area and this they said that there are many such factories many such small workshops that operate out of that place and nearly this they dont know of anyone actually who has secured any sort of climate and this is a broader reality in the country and certainly in india where residential areas are turned into commercial areas without the employers the owners securing proper permits and a lot of people will be surprised to hear that many people were were sleeping inside the factory when this fire broke out how common is that in india. Well thats also very common because a lot of these people who come to work in delhi come from or states from across the country the come to delhi because theres not enough work back home and they come here at whatever salary the employer decides and the essentially have to live off whatever the implied employer decides to pay them they dont have enough money to rent a room for get an apartment so they actually in roofs live inside the places of the working factories like this one or small workshops and thats also true for children who work and spent shots in the city even though they live in the same place that they actually working in thats quite widespread doctors in delhi but across the country.
