Hes heading towards being that china is condemning the mass resignation of prodemocracy indoor makers in hong kong as a political fast. And a blatant challenge. 15 opposition. Legislator stepped down after 4 of their colleagues were expelled and the new powers to remove members of the territories parliament were deemed to be disloyal to china. A radical change for hong kongs legislature. The seats are usually occupied by hong kongs democratic parliamentarians, but now theyre empty. As the session got underway a day after the mass walkout, one of the lawmakers resigning in solidarity protested he rolled out a banner in the foyer, criticizing city leaders carry lands decision to disqualify the legislative council. Not long afterwards, the lawmakers took part in their last act, formally handing in their resignation, letters they cues beijing of trying to remove the citys autonomy and shrines in hong kongs basic law. We all know that the Central Government in government can always say theyre going to get that right because they have alternate theories of home. But the point is where does not a thing come in . If it was back that way, if the 15 lawmakers informally resigned on wednesday in solidarity with their colleagues who were deemed threats to National Security by joining and expelled from the assembly. But pro beijing lawmakers dismissed the oppositions resignations as a political show would. I dont care, its basically a fast, its blackmail, and it violates the voters trust departs from what they call the principle of democracy. And it clearly shows they are against the Central Government. In beijing denies its restricting Hong Kong Special freedoms and says, what should happen in the territory is for it alone to decide jungle taught you. The Hong Kong Legislative Council is chinas domestic affair. Now while the country has the right to comment and interfere this lawmakers walkout evokes strong feelings in the city. A mighty get. Im very thrilled and i support the disqualification of the lawmakers. Theyve been creating chaos in hong kong, and they are against every policy of trying to help me because ive been given all about hong kong people that are part of our people, our lives not belong to our government. The lawmakers, resignations are a sign of escalating tensions between hong kongs ruling executive and the prodemocracy movement, which is determined to show their fight is not over yet. But the Un Refugee Agency is warning of a growing humanitarian crisis in northern ethiopia. They estimate that more than 10000. 00 ethiopians have fled to neighboring sudan because of increasing fears of a civil war. Dozens of been killed in fighting between Government Forces and the t. , greit Peoples Liberation front. Since early november, the u. N. , hes hurting nearby countries to keep their borders open to civilians. They have their representative for ethiopia has been speaking about the challenges facing the organization. 19 nations as a whole is neagle. See all the populations in need and asked for humanitarian corridors completion. This is not to leave. Its a dream thats meant to be easy. Well, lets talk about this with a freelance journalist. I get that welcome to day w. Tensions between addis ababa and gries vision or government have been simmering for months now. And is this conflict likely to become a full blown civil war . Well, there certainly many people, voicing concerns that this could become a large scale war. Weve had the united nations, the african union, and so on calling for deescalation and negotiations that obvious met the Prime Minister was very clear when he said that the war will end once. As the g. P. L. Left, leaders will be disarmed and arrested. So it doesnt seem like hes willing to cave in to any International Pressure on this issue. Hes also a promise to the ethiopians that the war will end soon, and that ethiopians will be able to go back to their daily lives. Now of course, it is very keen on controlling the narrative on this topic, and its very difficult to verify any information on who really has the upper hand and to grey right now. Because telecommunications are still a completely shut down in the entire region. There are also people of fearing that this will go beyond the well, it looks like weve lost our lives or our ideas of a brother, so unfortunate. Lets move on a story now of bravery and basketball in somalia. It takes courage for women to take part in the sport, the girls, the girls who do take part, they face anger from their own families for playing the game, and they also get Death Threats from both the extremists basketball practice in mogadishu. In blistering heat, its a tough routine for the all female team. However, its not only these conditions that make it hard. Most of the girls come here against the wishes of their family. And theres also the constant threat of attack by gunmen who think women should not play sports publicly. While out of mogadishu is risky, we cannot openly say we are going to play. We put our playing clothes and shoes and bags and carry them like that to the field. And we pretend were going to school or university. Measure me despite the insecurity and with no government at the carriages also sorts us to do. We still love playing basketball or hit the house or not. Katherine is some man and the coach is happy to have a space to play at all now and no one supports us that gives us equipment. And we do not have anyone supporting the players with uniforms balls and shoes. We even do not have a proper court. He didnt have a good idea that the local commissioner, however, backs them and offered the space for free. Other than that, its enthusiasm and dedication that keeps on going before islamist attacks surged, somalia had a National Womens team. And Nasser Mohammad was a player for them. This enables her to pursue her ashlan and help the girls i decided to train girls after i saw that the girls enjoyed and needed someone to train it up as this is also voluntary organisations, i came to train them for douse a trained hard. She would love to make it into a national team, but hasnt been one for the past 7 years. For now, the dream of one day being able to play in the open again. And maybe starting teams across somalia keeps the girls going up. But to try the 4 men under woman suspected of sexually abusing or enabling the abuse of at least 3 children has begun in the western german city. One step forward asked earlier this year after hard disks containing incriminating footage were found at the house of one of the suspects. This is where the horror took place. A garden house on an allotment in the outskirts of minster in the west of germany. Back in june 11, people were arrested on suspicion of sexually abusing children there. And filming their actions. Investigators say they had identified at least 3 of the victims, age 510, and 12 on videos in photos seized in the basement of the main suspect. The 27 year old man, all victims were related to the abusers. The mantra of the shield was surely the 27 year old. The keys to is said to have committed numerous abuses and to have documented these abuses on video or photo made. These are accessible to all of the persons the darknet going to darkness. And this is presumably only the tip of the iceberg. The main suspect already twice convicted for possessing child abuse images is in 1902. Investigators, highly professional electronic equipment containing disturbing proof of the abuse has been found at his home and a garden house indies. And, you know, all the fancy in this basement room was a server cabinet with 7 survey units larger when the storage volume amounts to more than 500. 00 terabytes already according to initial calculations. And this is not exhaustive. There are guards before man stand accused of having sexually abused, drugged and injured to victims. The woman accused of condoning the crimes is the 45 year old mother of the main suspect. She owned a building where the abuse took place and worked as a Kindergarten Teacher in minster to try all should shed light on the extent of the abuse and on the child abuse network. So far, all of the accused have remained silent. This is state of new news live from berlin, coming up next on news asia. After this months devastating Islamic States attack on kabul university, i.

Plus the president elect and middle diplomacy will see how soft u. S. Power is impacting lunchtime in chinas capital. Im melissa chan. Welcome to g. W. News asia. Thank you for joining us. Afghanistan faces a greater threat than the taliban with an increase in the number of tax claimed by islam state its capital. Kabul especially has experienced more violence. Earlier this month, gunmen stormed university, killing 32 people. Most of them students as ports. Theres little confidence that the government can in short, civilian safety, and there is even less hope when it comes to seeing the government negotiate a deal to end years of fighting law students still finds it hard to go anywhere near the university of kabul. He was taking part in a seminar when the attackers came, he seeing his fellow students for the 1st time since the attack. The only topic of conversation is how they managed to survive. That day when they heard the shots, they knew something terrible was happening. Everyone was screaming, but suddenly it was quiet and we heard someone saying a prayer behind the door that was the suicide bomber right before he blew himself up. Its only thanks to god that we got out alive. Not everyone was so lucky. 32. 00 people died in the attack and more than 50 were wounded. The attackers left a taliban flag behind the socalled Islamic State later claimed responsibility saved his own life by jumping out a window. His physical wounds are one thing, but his Emotional Trauma runs deep. Changed my life completely. All the goals i had before my life was carefree, but it isnt anymore. I think about my friends at university who i couldnt help make it across the country. They were similar, almost every day. There were more than 50 deaths and hundreds of injured. The spiral of violence is growing worse, and the Islamic State is claiming the attacks. Their base of support is growing. And speaking out for a long time, the Afghan People supported the taliban. They bought them ammunition and weapons. The taliban are negotiating with the invaders from the us. They are traitors. They dont want to kill americans any more. They act against devout muslims. As an image at a mosque outside of, he preaches the state. He says the groups goal of a caliphate in afghanistan justifies its violence. Afghans dont want democracy. Thats a western invention. We need extremists and a dictatorship for this country. We are real muslims, and thats why we support the dictatorship and not the liberal elites. Feminine democracy. Like many of his generation that it was possible to negotiate with the radicals. He doesnt believe that any after all the attacks people here have become very pessimistic. I dont believe that there will be peace anytime soon. To get a sense of what afghanistan was like as a peaceful country, such as it has to ask his grand brother, theres been nothing but war here for 40 years. Hed like to change that. But he has no idea how joining us is d. W. Shammal shams, who has reported on the attempts for some kind of deal between the taliban and the Afghan Government and shell, the rise of Islamic State in afghanistan. How serious is this . It is pretty serious, but we have to have a stand slumming state house to get around in the gun. Its not quite some time and they have been gaining strength for many years. But the are not stronger than the dollar. The taliban are the strongest militant group in a constant. In my opinion, they are not only in problem because they control who lost their carries in a constant. And they are the ones who all the shops. So in my opinion, more than stomach state the international community, the united states, the other congo, and needs to worry about what the taliban have been doing since that deal was signed between the us and the taliban in february. And lets talk about the americans. Do we expect abiding administration to do anything differently . I believe that i do would also like newsgroups to be drawn from a constant drum loaded. I think biden would be more restrictor with the dollar and would probably listen more to the a cock up. I believe that biden going to be different in a way that he would not give too many concessions to the dock and boxed up on it supports that. So i believe that biden big shots when he comes to power. He will deal with box the box on establishment the military stuff and is in a script a man who does what drunk was not doing. Trump gave too many concessions to the other bond and a lot of what is still adopting are still arriving in afghanistan. So we see a big assure light, a slight change in the policy, but logically, i believe it will remain this. Ok. And just sort of looking forward after 4 decades of war, it doesnt look like theyll be a peace anytime soon. Are we looking at another decade of conflict and suffering . I dont think so, because i believe all lobbies are quite tired of this war. This wall, its been going on for 2 decades. All of them long out of the state and they want peace in our government. So i believe that it will not dragged on for another 10 years. It really didnt go well in drug negotiations are going to complicated. There are too many players involved in it. Regional players and domestic players, national players. So it is going to get a fair, but i believe god, its not going to be this all. Its coming months and next year it is possible that they have gone gone, gone, authorities find a solution to this, this crisis, this conflict, shammal shams, thank you. So much for your time. Storm battered philippines was hit by yet another one on wednesday, typhoon vanco packed winds of up to 155 kilometers an hour and made landfall overnight, killing at least 2 people. The storm has triggered the worst flooding in the capital in yours. A flood that submerged the tallest trees, washed away countless households and turned busy streets into rivers. Torrential rains brought by storm, has cost major floods in the capital, manila, and many other provinces in the north. Hundreds of thousands of people have been evacuated since wednesday, but many are still trapped. But think of only what my sibling was left there on the roof along with 4 children. They kept going to other neighbors roofs because our house was completely submerged, and all our belongings were washed away. Vanco was the 21st, so i clone to hit the philippines this year. It worsened to situation in a country still reeling from the worlds most powerful typhoon. Just a week ago, gone the coast, 25 people and destroyed thousands of homes. It used to be a complete house. That part was too long, and that part was the kitchen and there was an army. But as you can see, its all gone aisle. And just as the last straw went away, rescue was already finding themselves in a new battleground. Vanco has now weakened, but the half of that coast will take many days, if not months to heal from beijing has yet to congratulate joe biden for his president ial win saying the outcome would be determined based on u. S. Laws and procedures that makes it a holdout among major powers, along with russia and chinese media, and scholars have been relatively quiet on the future of the relationship between the 2 countries. But at one chinese restaurant, American Voters have already made an impact. This noodle joint in downtown beijing has been popular for years with local residents and tourists. But recently a new group of visitors as shown up national and international media. All came here yesterday by accident. But today i fear is this almighty god johnny as the count here. Thats not a starbucks surprise. Funny actually. The reason is americas new president elect in 2011, joe biden, americas then Vice President had lunch here. And something we felt very honored to say that he had his lunch and talk to our chinese customers to know how i felt, he was a very decent and easy going
