A no confidence vote in the government so we can win a snap election i tell you lawmakers are expected to meet to set a date for the vote plus the death toll jumps in southern and western india after heavy monsoon rains and mudslides almost 200 are feared dead and hundreds of thousands have been displaced and a russia tries to tighten the screws on you tube over the last streaming of recent protests in moscow the demonstrators have been calling for free and Fair Elections to the city council. On leyla hauraki welcome to our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and to our other viewers around the world. Tonight says china shows signs of losing patience with demonstrators in hong kong a senior u. S. Official has called on all. All sides to avoid violence saying societies are best served when diverse political views are respected and can be freely and peacefully expressed while the official spoke on conditions on condition of anonymity rather on kong authorities shut down the airport earlier today as thousands of activists staged a sit in there showdown came as the Chinese Government signaled rising anger at the protest announcing some violent demonstrations as quote terrorism for the 1st time. A huge occupation Hong Kong International shut down for most of the day. Civil disobedience and disruption a mainstays of this protest movement is a kind of increase in campinas off selfishness caused to a lot of people but because we cannot afford this is some often or im not voidable because we fight for our final goal that is our freedom and that is why we pay a lot its all just a single file i think. It does not it doesnt matter right theyre also angry at Police Violence was when i was an eye for an eye and protest as a dressed up in solidarity with another demonstrates a who was filmed bleeding heavily from her eye the video went viral over the weekend. These processes of anger at hong kongs all thirtys who have been closely watched by the authoritarian government in beijing Hong Kong International airport is one of the safest airport one of the most efficient airport and what has been done today has seriously. Homme repetition of hong kong as well as their home International Airport and therefore i would like to hear once again to all those who are know them and straight to your own call International Airport to leave peacefully and i sure know its possible many have now gone Home Business should go back to normal but the protest is set to continue with many fearing a violent crackdown at the behest of beijing. Im joined now here in the studio by activist karin chung who is following course the situation of back home must be very difficult to see whats happening the situation of Hong Kong International seems to be calming down now as we speak do you think that protesters will attempt to stage a stunt of that scale again especially thinking about the china might want to intensify the crackdown i think the demonstrators will go on to do the demonstrations because as we can see that the baking said that there is a sign of the terrorism today that means there is no room for the protests to give in and i expect that there will be another demonstration on the following weekend or if the. Police brutality is going to be more intense and more people to come out and because to explain to me the thinking behind these protests because initially of course it was against the extradition bill but it has now become a plethora of other demands that the protesters want the government to listen to them as well can you tell me what the thinking behind it now is because at the very beginning they were saying that again as extra action bill that with found out that there are so many problems in hong kong and the main problem is that we dont have a complete democracy in hong kong thats why give us that if we. One to avoid. Problems in the future that we have to have complete democracy in hong kong. What i wonder though is that if species were to pass lets see a very quick law to intensify the crackdown on the prodemocracy demonstrators in hong kong with that act as a deterrent. I mean we are trying to prevent a crackdown thats why today demonstrated they went to the airport to. Seize the airport and tell the government that we dont want to have any violence and we dont want people to lost their lives or to have an unheard of course by the police and i can say how that protest will go but were trying to prevent a crackdown that has been trying to present a crackdown what is the public support for these on growing protests. And now im in germany i cant say criticize but i think the majority is pro demonstrators because as we can see individuals that many valens were caused by the police that day to rubber bullets in the face and also they came too late when against went on the street to attack the protesters so now we can see that the police theyre not really helping people and people the civilians they have already a bit of fear that theyre not safe anymore when they walk on the street at night so i guess or so far as news i read that most of the people there are pro demonstrators what would it take at this point to resolve this issue peacefully as i think the government really need to respond to mount a protest because so far they have held so many press conference but they didnt answer any questions or and in demands that people its trying to say all right carol thank you so much for coming in illuminating some of the suspects thank you. Next we shift our attention to italy where the senate will convene on choose day for a special session to figure out its next steps in the countrys political crisis well during a meeting in rome earlier today Party Leaders agreed that the senate would attempt to set a date for a motion of no confidence in the government last week the leader of the far right leak interior minister met there salvini had called for snap elections and a bit to lead a new government. Tourists got a special tour of italy started building on monday because inside the countrys future was under discussion snap elections no decision yet bice premier luigi to my own called ending the coalition youre responsible im assured my dear you know salvini and his party decided to cancel the coalition and run away from the problems facing italians which must be resolved back to talks all day on finding a way forward selby in his former Coalition Partners the 5 Star Movement opposed to the elections the Democratic Party is split. Ones at sea it is so fun my. One to avoid elections turning this government crisis into an economic emergency that could possibly even force italy out of the e. U. So got. 3 more snow in a post c b idea of a caretaker government passing the new budget that the current government is running away from and Holding Elections afterward is neither possible nor credible it would be a huge give to the far right that we are actually trying to stop to set a veto or to gobble a new right Wing Alliance among Silvio Berlusconi supports a sell beanies league and the neo fascist brothers of italy supports early elections into the sea we are the power of yes yes to big projects yes to tax cuts to reforms in taxes education and justice and to traditional family values and through the senate is to decide the next steps tuesday evening Prime Minister joseph a county will likely face a confidence vote on aug 20th. Lets get you more on the political unrest in italy lets join a journalist john hooper he is in florence he is the economist correspondent in italy john good to see you what can we expect when the senate meets on tuesday. Well we can certainly expect some high drama because its clear now that mr so leni is not going to get what he wants easily the Opposition Center left Democratic Party and his former allies in the fire star who are trying to slow things down as much as possible he would like to have a new confidence vote in the government which he is a part of rather ironic as soon as possible they are trying to drag everything out as much as possible i dont hooping to postpone the vote on the debate until after the next weekend and why why would they want to do that can you explain that well the logic of this is that if mr salvini is made to wait that point will be reached where it will be impossible for the incoming government to put together a budget for next year which is always a long process in italy or at least of one judge who will not trigger an automatic mechanism whereby if moved here on balance then the sales the da has to go up and not be a very popular measure the 100 pound on mr zoe. Lets for the sake of this conversation presume that mr 70 does manage to get his way would he have enough support to form a new government. That too is in doubt he is running around about 3637 percent in the polls at the moment and he needs around 40 by most estimates to be able to control the next column and if there is to be an act. And for that he is probably going to be counting on support from a group of former neo fascists and may have to bring in the party which is headed by Silvio Berlusconi so he comes back into the picture now Mr Berlusconi has quite a few scores to settle with mr salvini so theres every possibility of drama there. And who would have thought that we would see mrs possibly see mr Silvio Berlusconi make a comeback john hooper the economist correspondents in l. A. Thank you.
