Not a political thing its a scientific fact that we are going through Climate Change and of course its not relevant at the moment when papers houses are burning and weve lost lives but they are overall thing is we are sorry draw in this country we havent had rain for 4 years in some places. Over dams and creeks and rivers are dry and we need to look at what were going to do about that in the future and to deny Climate Change is to me a very. Ill informed and educated way of looking at things roger how much criticism is the government facing right now that has failed to address the conditions that are contributing to these catastrophic fires. Would certainly created or it words were doing no politicians of all political or colors the governments been accused of ignoring Climate Change one green senate seat in Parliament Earlier today but some politicians were a little more the assonance because of the way they supported the coal industry in recent years the Prime MinisterScott Morrison refuses to pin the crisis directly on Climate Change and there are some on the other side who claim that greenlit councillors might also be contributing to the problem by refusing to a low Hazard Reduction program to take place during the winter months thereby clearing of education which might be ignited during the summer but others say its not its really not the time to make political points of the mythos coleman its government minister here said it wasnt appropriate to bring politics into the debate when people were losing their lives and as a good point in the police are reiterated by the New South Wales premier their g. P. And who said she was quite willing to discuss the issue of Climate Change not of the moment when people were dying and many people were also losing their homes and the emphasis is on evacuation right now as well Roger Maynard thanks so much for that from certain its to bolivia now in the former bolivian president a former all us is on his way to mexico where hes been given asylum resigned sunday a mass protest against the ledger Election Fraud his resignation has left a power vacuum in bolivia where on rest is continuing on the streets of la paz the police and the army are threatening a crackdown. Ever morale is heading to mexico into exile the Mexican Foreign minister car found it in a tweet he assured the ousted believin leader your life and integrity are safe. While many believe the insecure is morale is of growing increasingly autocratic in his 14 year rule across latin america hes still often viewed as a champion of the poor who brought Economic Growth to one of the regions most impoverished countries like these supporters who gathered outside the believe an embassy in mexico city they claim rallies resignation was prompted by a coup. Will morales was a democratically elected president what will follow him are measures that are brutal exploitation measures against workers and farmers. Morale is ousting has left a power vacuum the deputy head of the senate says she is willing to take over as interim president until new elections are held to help the country get through the crisis but the decision is up to the believe in congress. This is just to provide some certainty for the country. For an end to the vandalism. So that there are no more deaths women who are raped. I dont think bolivians deserve this its urgent that there is some certainty for the people. So if civil organizations agree i will take up the task. We really even after morales departure tensions remain high on the streets of the capital. Police and the military are steeling themselves for more violence. Lets preview known some of the other stories making the news today Security Forces in chile have fired Water Cannons to Disperse Protesters there the country seen weeks of often violent antigovernment on rust. Government on bell plans sunday to draft a new constitution but the opposition says the proposals do not go far enough.

While hong kongs leader has condemned prodemocracy protesters a day after some of the worst violence there in 5 months tensions are running high after a Police Officer shot a demonstrator at close range lamb branded activist selfish today urged schools and universities to discourage them from protesting. But activists are already back on the streets many roads are closed schools and colleges have canceled classes and there are reports of Police Firing tear gas lets get the latest now with the w. s mathias in hong kong Tuesday Morning to you whats happening where you are. I am now in central the citys Central Business district around me ah the headquarters of Major International fans luxury shops and there is a fresh more protests to the Office Workers have come down during lunch time just. Age of protest alongside with the radical protestors we have seen scenes earlier when the radicals and their black the black clad people cross between all these white shirts and the white shirts applauded them so its obvious that the these Office Workers who have come down in numbers today do not agree with carrie lambs assessment that the protesters were selfish or as she also put it the enemy of the people because ok so this would indicate it hasnt seen in the past broader base to these protests than yesterdays saw some of the worst violence so far in the conflict in hong kong what led to the escalation we saw yesterday. I well there were several tragic events on friday a protester dark knight who had pulled an inside a parking deck we do not know what caused his death or what caused him to fall from there but there have been speculations that he was fleeing from the police and these rumors or these speculations are enough to fuel anger at the moment because people do not trust the police will investigate this properly and then yesterday these shops were off closed in the very morning by a traffic policeman who was tackling a protester and then. Shooting another one when he approached of course this fuel tank that yesterday was a day that was already gone down to ask ken lay because the protesters had called on a general strike on i wrote blocks and then later weve seen other p. C. This time from the protesters who set ablaze a man seemingly thats what video footage shows so all these of course acts of violence from both sides day they need to hardening on both sides they lead to an escalation they lead to. Hard hitting on the government side and a growing anger on the side of the protests is ok mathias were just looking at some live images from hong kong that give us an idea of the tensions out there on the streets where you are can you briefly walk us through what we can expect later today. I watch a day is going to continue it is a bit less intense though than yesterday but we have seen especially around the universities but also in other places off the city chagas had already in the very Early Morning that is something that has rarely happened usually that the days even the protest days start fairly slow and then it escalates towards the evening so tensions are high. So we might see more clashes today we will certainly see more clashes today and it might continue into the next few days it is thanks very much for that from hong kong this morning. I know its to the United States now where the Supreme Court there begins hearings today to consider whether the trumpet ministration illegally ended the socalled dream or program of this program allowed undocumented migrants brought to the u. S. As children to live and work in the u. S. Legally the program was introduced under the obama administration. Georgetown university in washington d. C. Is where i decided gonzales studies and lives. And she was born in mexico but was brought up in arizona. And is an undocumented migrant but as a doctor recipient shes been able to make great leaps towards a Better Future now i have better chance of getting more scholarships or attending university and getting a job like i had never had a job until i got to college and i when i got my 1st paycheck in iraq i was able to fill out that Social Security box and i was like this feels so weird and it feels good in a. Like i was able to get us that id but its Little Things like that that make it easier in just driving itself in arizona you know that if you do get stopped by a cop they like to point you. Dr recipients have not been afraid to protest theyve been organizing demonstrations like this one in washington d. C. In defense of the Program President ordered an end to 2017 but several federal courts challenge the president s move the final decision lies with the Supreme Court close to 700000 people who were brought to the u. S. And children have been allowed to renew your authorizations to live study and work in the country a future despite having lived most of their lives in the us. Now weve seen courts all across the country side with our people our movement saying that the decision to end the 1st place was wrong if this case goes in a direction in which the program is ended or wound down in some way the lives of not just immigrant youth in this country but their families their networks their communities are put in immediate danger there is a lot at stake with the Supreme Court. In georgetown is nervous about what the future holds but remains hopeful im kind of numb to the point of this whats going to happen to dr recipients its going to happen to dreamers. Just let me know because at this point im kind of like i need to make a plan and if that plan is going to the u. S. I need to know. But i am in a way i hope i dont go heartbroken by the decision and like any time i do get a bad decision is just over it for a few for a few days and then getting back up. Alternatives thats been my whole life and i think it will continue to be my whole life. The other doctor recipients will have to wait a decision from the. Court is expected sometime before next summer. Turkey has started returning fighters of socalled Islamic State to their countries of origin turkish Officials Say a u. S.
