A youngster nikolaus scoured crammed gold in the council and physically look out a dramatic day in the hot. Sun of a warm welcome to you im honored that shima the affairs of new violence in hong kong off the territories chief executive invoked Emergency Powers last used in the 1960 s. The law allows authorities to make any regulations they deem to be in the interest of the public in a 1st measure lamb has banned fierce mosques from midnight local time antigovernment protest is good for us up to a year in jail for very full or partial face coverings. The government must act now thats the message from hong kong same bottle of leader kerry lam she said the territory is facing a serious crisis she invoked laws last used in the 960 s. And i would say that we are now in rather extensive and serious public danger. It is essential for us to stop violence and restore calmness in society as soon as possible we hope that the new legislation can help us to achieve this object. But so far theres been defiance on the streets protesters determined to stay resolute in the face of what they see as another curb on their rights. Even before lamb spoke protest leader joshua wong said he was worried that his city is on the path to a police state. I strongly or urge the International Community aware on the de facto martial law might imply it home soon in the next few hours or in the next few days the world must stand with home from the i gaze hong kong tries to be a holy state with martial law. Protesters fear if mosques are banned then it will be easier for the authorities to identify them with trust between both sides at rock bottom there are fears that carry lymes band will stoke fallons rather than stopping it. The japanese phoebe kong is funding the story for us phoebe tell us exactly where you were on whats happening around you in hong kong. Im now standing by to Hong Kong Government headquarters at the heart of the hong kong Business District as you have seen behind me there are people flooding to the government headquarters to protest against the anti moscow law so im actually quite a number of posts has things i was already an attorney always expected to grow. When night falls and many of them come here after work and some of them they Burn National flags and they paint many slogans along along the way and actually we have seen the slogans actually people are chanting hong kong us to show there was distance to these. Tell us more about the reaction to this. Emergency law which visibly allows the government to take any measure it wants to control the protests. Well we have talked to a number of protesters after the announcement of these unprecedented law in hong kong and some of the protesters told me that these may deter some of the relatively minor or protesters from taking to the streets because they fear the white terror now in the city but on the contrary the growth of the more radical protest state told me that this is not going to stop them from resorting to felons because this is just another piece of law that they already validating the law when they talk to streets and attending Unlawful Assembly so this is not a big deal for them to valets to. Another piece of law so its still in doubt that whether this measure this tough measure would stop the violence in hong kong and the one in our reporter joe schmo of one the prodemocracy activists talk about this law turning hong kong into a police state the concerns about the clashes of violence or eruption of. People fighting each other now that these draconian laws from colonial times have come into force. Yeah numerous political op surface and also prodemocracy politicians told us this is a worrying trend for a government to infect the power and that emergency law and they fear that these this act open depend on. The fear that governments will actually impose more band on like on fannings and some of the social media platforms that are usually used by to protest this government a plan. Even if it was directed publications so this is the worries of them and and also the more like we strike and the constraints imposed by the government its likely that the more business than the protesters will be so its very worrying and clashes even more vigorous confrontation is expected in the coming few days did you have these phoebe kong reporting from an increasingly tense hong kong thank you very much.

F. Worth the morea camp and sent us this report this tent outside greeces largest refugee camp is home to 4 people. For iman who fled syria has been living here for close to a month the morea campus 4 times over its capacity so thousands are forced to live in the surrounding all this growth. Over a cup of tea im on tells us what life in the camp is like crowded dirty and dangerous every day every day and thats normal if you know there are fighting inside. Yeah.

The Organization Says many children in morea camp have inflicted harm on themselves and have even attempted suicide in the case he said we are seeing of children traumatize from their a country of origins for the completely. Difficult journey that they took to reach europe to reach us and they end up here in a convoy completely overcrowded we dont know services and safe and secure the conditions the mental condition of the children are to grow day to day by day this is daily life inside a refugee camp packed with more than 10000 people a result of the resurgence and see crossings to lesbos the trip from the Turkish Coast to this beach takes about 2 hours and more migrants are making this journey than at any other point since 2016 when the European Union signed a deal with turkey to prevent them from coming now with thousands waiting on this and other greek islands for their asylum applications to go through people here tell us the situation has become a crisis a situation that worries younus master again as he is the. Mayor of moria the small town right next to the camp. Like many People Living here he feels lesbos is being left to fend for itself. If it up in another shame. Europe should show more solidarity and support greece with this problem greece alone isnt capable of dealing with this large number of refugees the e. U. Member states have to help take in people and at the same time increase the pressure on turkey to stick to their side of the agreement if i wish the issue of one europe where if you pull it off youre. Back in the camp im on says he doesnt want to be a burden on anyone all he wants is a safe place to live. And he hopes to find his place before winter. And most of the new arrivals in greece have gone through turkey which is given sanctuary to some 3 and a half 1000000 Syrian Refugees but without more Financial Support turkey is threatening to limit its head to the e. U. As part of an agreement to curb the flow of refugees that delegation including german interior minister horst for has made stop turkish officials amid growing tensions over refugees. On the shores of the aegean sea more migrants are trying to reach the e. U. Via turkey than at any point since a un turkey struck a deal in 2016 and korea agreed to effectively close the route to migrants in return for up to 6000000000 euro of which 2600000000 has been dispersed now german interior minister horse is on a 2 day tour to turkey in greece to discuss the next steps ankara has threatened to quite open the gates to europe if the e. U. Doesnt give more support. For spirit. We are ready to help turkey wherever possible and support the country in various possibilities im eager to see what these possibilities are in our talks later. In the recent. Turkey wants more Financial Support especially for a possible safety zone in Northern Syria where president after one wants to accommodate another 2000000 refugees fleeing syria. Who played out in south florida we fulfil all obligations under the agreement with you both on humanitarian grounds but also out of fidelity to the steel but we expect the same from the e. U. Has. Big countries. The project on the turkish Syrian Border is being hotly debated with fears that the worsening situation in it live in Northern Syria could put even more pressure on the border region German Foreign minister. Says a who told anchor that he would address turkeys concerns in his talks with the incoming head of the European Commission found a lion in brussels 4 years on since the e. U. Migration crisis the e. U. Capital is growing uneasy with the prospect of very peace not rio of 2015. Joining me now is correspondence dorian jones in istanbul and. The medical correspondent melinda during may i start with you know what happened to this refugee day why is it not working well it all started when the turkish president might have type gave a warning that hes ready to open his borders to europe if they do not address turkeys refugee concerns why turkey is now warning about this it fears it is ready for another mass influx of refugees into turkey from the syrian province of idlib which is the last rebel enclave i could well fall to Syrian Forces in the coming weeks possibly months turkey says it cannot take any more refugees it needs europe to join in working together to resolve this this is tokyo issuing a law to the whole of europe and these refugees going to greece is seen as part of that warning and let me do what germany and the e. U. Offering to get it once again behind this refugee agreement that they made with the country. Between the lines of money thats not what the german interior minister is saying in so many words but if you look at what he is saying hes saying that europe is prepared to do whatever is needed to support turkey and that he is committed to strengthening the deal with turkey and this was very much a financial deal as as was said in the report the e. U. Promised turkey 6000000000 euros to essentially help limit the flow of refugees out of turkey toward greece of that less than half has been paid out although the deal has been in place for several years now so i think its fairly clear that that is what turkey wants and its pretty clear that that also is what the e. U. Is prepared to give so dorian the money seems to be at the heart of this dispute at present politic is president ed on has trip to do what he calls open the floodgates if he doesnt get more funding couldnt see a repeat of 2015 and see a massive flow of refugees refugees coming into the e. U. Well yes i definitely aris because it isnt just about money turkey is facing a massive problem of refugees itself its the president is well aware that turkeys talks patience is false running out he needs a point a solution himself and that is why hes looking for backing from europe and the west to relocate a 1000000 possibly 2000000 Syrian Refugees to north east syria in an area currently controlled by searing kodesh militia unquote considers terrorist Turkish Forces are ready to great what he calls a 30 kilometer deep safe so in that region where the turkish president says he wants to send back refugees its a hugely contentious policy but uncross says it has the same but these refugees because the peoples patience is false running out and let the german ministers it was easy very obliging why is that the case. Well i think there is absolutely recognition in europe that turkey has borne the brunt of the refugee flow out of syria 3600000 refugees in turkey an enormous number and in fact the interior minister of germany paid tribute to turkey for that today so certainly there is that recognition and there is also concern that many of those refugees could find their way to greece and then on to western europe if in fact not more is done to shore up this deal with turkey now the the interior minister promised to bring turkeys concerns back to brussels to the new incoming president of the commission and then we will see what she does with them melinda crane in berlin and dorian jones in istanbul thank you both very much for your reporting. Tunisians are going to the polls this weekend to elect a new bottom line the 3rd rejected many establishment candidates last month when they voted in the 1st round to elect a new president now a new independent body has launched a campaign to win of a voter is fed up but political elites and.

Know what we should all of the Political Parties by people with money during the election campaigns to give about 10 years to people who sit in cafes doing nothing but they use them to do their Campaign Work and then be fired and when they become president s ministers or whatever thats when they send us back to misery.
