Also coming up. Be. Able to instruct the moon as the jungle young to dock it successfully lifts off the unmanned spacecraft is heading to. On a mission that could seat in their becoming the 4th mission to land a probe on the lunar surface. And another big win for ukraines president exit polls gives a lot of meat and then skis party a commanding lead out to sundays parliamentary elections and possibly the absolute majority he was hoping for. An unwelcome im on with that shima good to have you with us. A 7 straight weekend of antigovernment protests in hong kong has descended into violence the demonstrations began peacefully as tens of thousands demonstrated against an unpopular extradition bill they fear will erode the citys autonomy as protest is headed for the office of the Chinas Communist Party police fired on them with drug of bullets and tear gas and in a new development suspected gang members attacked the demonstrators. It was a vicious assault gangs of men all dressed in white attacking antigovernment protesters on their way home from another huge demonstration. The brutal attack was life streamed on social media showing journalists as well as protesters being beaten as the men rampage through a subway station and onto trains. And i saw somebody bleeding all over the floor in front of me i tried to drag him away but they wouldnt let me where i had all sorts of weapons and i came over and attacked me to. An opposition lawmaker who was injured claims triad gangsters suggesting the shadowy criminal network was intervening in support of the chinese government. As the dozens of injured received Treatment Police finally arrived on the scene and what used by witnesses of taking more than an hour to get there despite frantic calls for help so far no arrests have been made on monday from khans probating leader carry out condemned the attack we absolutely do not hold all that sort of violence and our letter he made is clear if it bubbles is not a solution to any problem above that this will only bring more violence. But other approach to normal because focus back on the nation on the antigovernment protesters who threw eggs and paint at Chinas Hong KongLiaison Office. Once again protesters clashed with police well into the night such and it should be severely condemned and i think these rebels who look to stop these provocative actions or to seriously damage the relationship between so to a couple and then hold but it is the closeness of that relationship that prodemocracy protesters are worried about that concerns have expanded beyond the controversial extradition bill as fears grow that democratic freedoms are being eroded fears that will only be stoked by the unchecked intervention of suspected criminal gangs. Joining me now is a few because i feel the resource allayed disturbing images of masked men beating up protestors do we know who they are. Yes there were clear there what their exact identities are given that there is no one address this so far until now and the police chief said during the past briefing just now saying that they are still investigating the case and they provide no further details regarding this at spare so were not clear about the sad entities of the mosque. There are skeptics suggesting that they may be related to gangs or even try society in june long because that is a place where the gangs often get very often so also a probation lawmaker is suspected to be related to these mens because he because he appears by and get in touch with those masked men right before the attack so there is no one at the tells but i think we have to wait for the investigation of the police until everything was getting clearer and to watch what demands of the activists leaders making now and their protests directed at hong kongs leaders directly at beijing. Some of them do turn to beijing as to target off the demonstrations us we have seen some of them they demonstrated in front of the beijing Liaison Office in pa in hong kong they expressing their anger to worse the longstanding interference into hong kong Domestic Affairs so this is one of the target but the majority of the protesters and also home home people then now more angry with the the handling of the Hong Kong Government and the Hong Kong Police force and with how they handled the clashes over the past few weeks especially last night so this is the main reason which taken the ngo off the hong kong people that is to they are asking for hong kong top leadership to take responsibility and to step down to be you responsible for. Responsible for all the questions and all the controversies happening over the past few weeks. In hong kong thank you very much for that update from there. India has successfully launched an unmanned spacecraft to the far side of the moon. You know. This is the chandrayaan 2 took off from the city stuff in space center to cheer and soon thousands of onlookers the launch had been delayed for weeks due to a Technical GlitchRichard Rayyan 2 carries an orbiter lander and drover if you travel for 2 months before the lander. Touches down on the. Road a robotic rover drug will then spend 14 days collecting mineral and chemical samples for analysis the mission is a major step forward in indias efforts to become a space superpower up to now only the United States russia and china have landed spacecraft on the moon. Joining me now from delhi is dr jewish very political parlance shes the head of the nuclear and Space Policy Initiative a few Observer Research foundation thats a think tank based in the indian capital welcome largish really a big moment for india and its Space Program what did you feel when you search on the un to lift off today. No i think this is been an exciting moment not just far is throw the indian space to such Organization India as a whole but also for the whole this is become such a prestigious moment because there has been a global attention ever since u. S. Came into office he talked about going back to the moon there have been other countries such as india russia china and japan who have been trying to go back to the on the more know. China has undertaken couple of impressive mess shows that it landed on the far side of the moon at this you know in the beginning in june generally 2 years ago it landed on the side of the board so there have been quite a bit of attention even to domestic to do the more and more missions but also broaden out to space itself has seen quite a bit of interests in achieving could be that i expect the actual landing to take place in much of the trickiest box off of this mission. So the landing itself is going to take plays a vital 45. 00 days from now so ill speak september 6th or 7th. To do the. Actually. Belonged there and then you have the trickiest of the total is off of our then it can actually into the new not all of it and i think thats going to be the morse tricky part of the mission this was a Tricky Mission the 1st. Separates from the from the rocket so that this happened now if youve been popped and be what he called the odds blocking off. A couple of michelle to us for us for the next few weeks and before it gets on to the lunar orbit and i think thats going to be the next. Mission that is the major milestone for the mission in a sense and of course landing the soft landing because even the landing is good because even the landing the plane sped to land will be decided only as moments before its actually. Landing so its a very complex and very Difficult Mission and this is the most complex mission that india has undertaken. Landing on and on to other still so phase. And that was the. Head of the new q. And Space Policy Initiative of the Observer Research foundation in delhi let me now bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the world Israeli Forces have begun demolishing palestinian homes outside East Jerusalem residents were forcibly evicted after a dead on expired for them to remove the buildings israel says theyre really legal and too close to the barrier separating israel and the palestinians palestinians accused israel of using security as a pretext to force them out. Britains from the sitter is a man has been chairing a for the session of the governments Emergency Committee to decide on new sanctions against iran off to the seizure of the british flagged tanka stina impaired iran claims the ship free to respond to distress calls after hitting a fishing boat. In the philippines thousands of antigovernment protesters marched outside the house of representatives in manila where president rhodri go to ted was delivering his state of the nation address the recording to detail told to step down over his controversial policies including a brutal Anti Drugs Campaign despite International Criticism remains popular at home. Now to korean president as alinsky spotty looks to be on course to win an outright majority following sundays parliamentary election if confirmed the result would be the best any party has achieved in your prince posts on beach history selenski course that elections after his lance life president ial event in april because it was dominated by his opponents he said a parliamentary majority would be would help support his strongest of forms and his fight against corruption. For more let me join. Of course fun an economy he is in the ukrainian capital nic exit polls show the latest projections show that the lenski party the segment of the people has a majority and that would be quite unprecedented but did. Get off yes we are in uncharted territory with almost 60 percent of the ballots now counted that trend from today that would seem to give. The outright Majority Coalition is being called by the ukrainian press that seems to be confirming itself yesterday evening the celebrations were little muted was it seemed he would need a Coalition Partner but his partys done very well in terms of the direct seats the directly elected seats rather than the party lists and this gives him more power than any of his predecessors to really reform this country alongside his party 7 people the nearest party in 2nd place is only on 1213 percent of the party of the former prime minister. Former president poroshenko and another transplant from show business to politics. Musician whose party voice is on about 6 percent so really this is the story of the lenski and all the rest if he gets the majority have the mandate to do what hes promised but the rage of expectations nick will be heavy and his team does not have much political experience how do you see this shaping up. Well they definitely have a good for pulling off peoples this is a man who lets remember just 6 months ago so was the t. V. Entertain and he announced he was running for president on new years eve so they would have shown their ability to do well against the olds in terms of their experience yes these are people who are new to politics thats part of the reason why ukrainians approached them because they wanted new faces but they are bringing in technocrats people who maybe wouldnt challenge politically have Proven Expertise in economics in other fields of policy to really get that credibility but this is a huge risk because you know given that he now will control the parliament on top of the presidency the buck stops with him if reforms fail it is his fault and he called point the finger at so many of his predecessors have at the Opposition Parliament say its their fault for things going wrong. Said nick what do you think the Election Results mean for foreign policy. Well i think obviously the lets go down a very strong position in any kind of international gauche asian he has shown that he has a large part of ukraine psyche behind him that is one thing but i dont think were going to see any quick. Baring of the hatchet with russia there was a party that ukrainians could vote for that was suggesting just that run by a personal friend of that image putins who travel to russia during the Election Campaign they came in 2nd place on 1213 percent way below what those kind of parties got in the past so i think what this really means is that selenski now will try to come good on his promise of doing more to really reengage people in bringing into that conflict but. It seems isnt really ready to give him the powers to compromise all too heavily to really offer any kind of concessions to the kremlin so i think well see a change of tone but on the substance i think well see very little movement. Thank you very much for that update from. The. Military have restarted refugee rescue efforts in the mediterranean with. The norwegian flag ship ocean viking will conduct search and rescue operations off the coast of libya its equipped with a Medical Clinic and has the capacity to take in up to 200 refugees the aid groups freebase rescue ship. Had to seize operations last december because of what they say was obstruction. Meanwhile diplomats have been meeting in paris to discuss how refugees rescued from the mediterranean should be distributed across the block but once again they failed to Reach Agreement another meeting is now set for september but the sea is not the only migration route thousands of still attempting to reach europe by land the situation especially critical along the. Many. Camps. And. One of those camps is. We have. The border with the European Union can be seen from the Mountain Ridge mix to defer check refugee camp the site was 1st set up in the middle of june. Between 450 and 700 migrants live in tents here. 10 kilometers away in the city of be hatched there are 2 other refugee camps profamily with nearly 5000 inhabitants already overcrowded thats why about 100 people arriving every day is courted by both police. The local red cross accommodates the people here as best they can aided by donations from the Turkish Red Crescent the government in sarajevo however seems to be ignoring the growing problem. There are often Drinking Water shortages and since there are only 2 shower and toilet facilities disease spreads quickly especially scabies very very. Bad there is no electricity do lunch or dinner everything theres no. Living like any mothers in the 1st a tent lacks sufficient supplies and there isnt enough medicine volunteers such as german journalist planet and austrian dr karen char affair provide health care since the beginning of the refugee crisis in 2015 theyve been helping in refugee camps throughout the balkans but even dr schauer affair has never seen a camp quite like this one. Become an often a move hideout hi can you put people on a garbage dump its so disrespectful theres no other way of putting it its and human than this this but planet says he thinks he knows why the beheaded City Government chose a former landfill site for a refugee camp. This site belongs to the city when i asked why does it have to be a garbage dump and they said they dont have to pay rent here thats what i know but i think its logical that they just want to make it as unpleasant as possible for the refugees here so that theyll leave. Again and thats exactly what theyre trying to do day off today secretly crossing the border nearby into croatia but many are caught there by creation police and force back to bosnia sometimes violently this is what some of the migrants report once they return to camp believe. Me theyre to be. Here to be. Policeman. Be do. You like what he be here. Everything to get ready for. Everything big and dear to boarding now europe sees itself confronted with a massive humanitarian emergency not only in the mediterranean but also on the nearly forgotten balkan roots. Some 2000 firefighters are battling huge places in the mountainous Central Region its the same area that was devastated by wildfires 2 years ago 7 firefighters and civilians have been injured. The wildfires whipped by strong winds engulfing forests and encroaching on villages a familiar scene for People Living in portugals Castello Branco region. Wildfires can be deadly because they happen so quickly because no one knew me i never thought this would happen today it was also quiet yesterday and this morning i dont know how i dont understand how suddenly there were no means to avoid the situation i just dont understand how im not. Around the world wildfires are becoming more intense and wildfire season is longer key to Climate Change but because of better precautions since the deadly fires in 2017 no one has died of portugal in the last 2 years but there have been injuries especially amongst the firefighters.
