beijing sending very strong warnings against what they think say as. assemblies so people hear all these things very closely what's coming out of beijing particularly given the fact that in the last week we have seen those images of the people's police how the military police along the border with hong kong people watching very closely to see what authorities next move will be. and kill in hong kong for us thank you so much. sudan is celebrating a historic agreement after months of protests the country's ruling military council and civilian. have signed a constitutional declaration paving the way for a transition to civilian rule and free elections it's a new chapter for a nation that has weathered demonstrations and a bloody military crackdown after ousting of the longtime president obama al bashir . dressed for a day that's historic salamon know is taking to the streets again this time to celebrate she was one of the 1st to join the protests spent months demonstrating time behind bars now she feels her struggle has been worthwhile but if we want to s

beijing says this is basically a voluntary vocational training camp. but investigation showed that people are not there voluntarily they're being arbitrarily detained and this comes on at prisons you cannot just come and go so your life. they've been they've even been labeled concentration camps now this video use of video was initially picked up by a wave of rights activist by the name of iceland had a yacht we talked to him earlier today. and he told us by use of wanted to leave pakistan in the 1st place according to him we have been rounded up by pakistani authorities to be sent back to china price paid. so he decided to make the boldly and make his way to europe. now we can verify these claims but it is worth noting the pakistan is part of a group of muslim minority country muslim majority countries rather and that have come out in support of beijing when it comes to their treatment of muslims and basically. dismissing claims that that we can muslims are being held against their will so is there a happy ending the war there is. just a few hours ago

repeat of tiananmen square map where massacre in 1909 when the chinese army fired on protesters in beijing chinese armed police have been occurring out drills on the border to hong kong where more protests are planned today. and we spoke to do. in hong kong earlier and asked about those statements in the chinese media that seem to suggest that beijing is preparing to send in troops to restore order in hong kong no one has forgotten what happened in tiananmen square as you mention in 1989 but i think most analysts think that it's still extremely unlikely that china that beijing will send in troops into hong kong sanity is certainly imminently people think it's unlikely best because it would come at a huge economic and political cost the beijing people here say that their main concern at the moment is the increasingly hardened rhetoric coming out of beijing and the impact that that will have on authorities here in hong kong people here say that the police have become increasingly violent over recent weeks they worry that that could could escalate even further they were so concerned about the

of protests in hong kong police charged protesters of surrounded a police station in a city district beijing has also warned punishment is only a matter of time but how and when will it act get the view from chinese artists and dissidents by way way also coming up. the last charge with general thomas time to follow a 10 year old spends wrong days not at school but working to support his family we speak about the pervasive problem of child labor. i'm going to welcome to do the news asia it's good to have you with us but i suppose in hong kong are in no mood to relent and if anything's clear it's that they aren't afraid to confront the police either these what the scenes of this week in china are special administrative region crowds of protesters surrounding police facilities unafraid of police warnings projectiles what also hold of those inside police responding with tear gas and arrests. estimates put the number of injured in these clashes at around 41. the continuing protests over the past 9 weeks have prompted the harshest warning yet from beijing well quality here i warn all criminals not

beijing knows that it would be drastic if the p.l.o. a people's liberation army actually went into hong kong and i don't think it's necessary nowadays because the party has different means of putting people on the pressure that has all the technical means it has the companies that are being put under a lot of pressure now cathay pacific and many others so i don't see a big likelihood at the same time i don't see a very good outcome for the hong kong people it's going to be a very unhappy ending a very unhappy ending ok what do you think that means sure what would be a very unhappy ending have you excluded as has the possibility of another gentleman square i think hong kong people they're very well aware that china is trying to scare people with violence and the possibility of sending me i think many of them just try to ignore the fact or even if they know about this they would think that they have nothing to lose if it ends up like this they would they would take other action but that for now they only get to have answers from the government what do you think oh i don't think this is. t

they saw straight go to beijing and to our correspondent. what is strong words there is this meant to be a shock warning to those china's calling criminals and madness. yes it is meant as a warning you can imagine if you heard these words in a mafia movie you would shudder now and you would expect something to happen however this is not a mafia movie and we can also notice that this these these words did not were not followed by any specific means that beijing plans to implement he did not elaborate on how these people would perish in the fire that they have said as he put it so it is still giving us a hint that beijing has not made up his mind on how to react to these clashes in hong kong on how it should deal with them other than that he has said that beijing stands firm behind kerry land the chief executive and that it would be hong kong's government's task to resolve this issue so in that regard there was nothing new with this press conference but in what he did talk about punishment the beijing spokes line what kind of pressure can in c

beyond seeing hardening of the rhetoric coming out to beijing and particularly over the last week in fact at one point. the protesters here were likened to terrorists which really did a lot of the people who were taking to these to the streets a river of course reject that outright they consider themselves pro democracy protesters we've also alongside the hardening rhetoric seen military presence along the border people here of course questioning whether or not any of those courses will be deployed into hong kong generally though people think that that is still extremely unlikely they think that that would be politically and economically damaging to beijing beijing has other methods of trying to keep this and this unrest under control what we're expecting to see is that police here say that they can keep this situation calm we're expecting perhaps them to employ some of the messes that we've seen in recent weeks to try and clear the streets tear gas for example measures that protesters here has said become increasingly violent and left a number of processes into it all right he. fell

way of telling protesters that the beijing government can step in directly to stop them well a least a tells the inner truths of what's in their mind they have been doing that since that gets you know they happened seen and you play as we see in the land of china they would do it as oh crash it in this tanks or a military or whatever they have and there they can be very brutal and the very bloody and but this is hong kong so they're really bluffing you know they are the in the situation is much beyond they can imagine and under those young people are not scared they are not easily you know to be. forward or to you know this is their life struggle so do you mean a situation like the 1989 telamon square protests would not happen in hama i would not see a war not and i predict it can happen but alby have a heavy cost on china and that may be come opportunity for time not to change but do you think china of what is about this cost. or is deeply and then narrow facing problem such as is interesting a game you know it's not is supposed to be one country 2 system. and that car they played v

by the probation politicians outside the beijing spankers they all want the hong kong. it is says that there is a chance but china's government to send troops to handle the crisis in. but most of them they have that's just that this kind of message and i think most of the protest is down already frightened by this kind of message. tell us about the impact that the warnings that we're hearing from beijing from hong kong authorities what impact those are having on the protesters and particularly the public support for the protest movement. was mentioned south was a protest this then on i mean they're not frightened by these kind of mass a stand on its feet just because the ha ha language off the basic science here but not on the this is most of them they actually they don't believe that china's government will. take these supposed to and the crisis of hong kong because this go further on the economy of hong kong and that will be at the sas to do phone calls international reputation was has been all eyes something really ideal form on not only comment on chinese staff and

a journalist for chinese state media who is seized and beaten by anti beijing protesters at hong kong airport whose fate went viral on state controlled social media presented as an assault on all of china's 1400000000 citizens. while the demonstrators say they are defending human rights but they deny journalists their right to enter the airport i give that journalist a big thumbs up for the courage he showed footage of. that propaganda is especially effective when it stirs up deeper feelings this side of demonstrators throwing the chinese flag into hong kong harbor triggered outrage on social media and in response an outpouring of patriotic fervor from chinese citizens branding hong kong's pro-democracy movement as an attack on their national pride will soon trollish a city it is a great honor for me to be one of the 1400000 defenders of our flag and i will do my best to ensure it is always respected but as you well know it's injured teacher in china isn't only flying drones at the border close by and the paramilitary people's armed police has been holding drills this week more profit

of course by the months he has been following this story from beijing he says the statement that we saw in that report from the major general of the army represents a significant escalation of the chinese government's rhetoric towards. people's liberation army has made it clear before that they would go into the city if the hong kong government asked them to do so however sending troops to hong kong would come at a huge cost for beijing it would lead to an international backlash their position in the trade war with america would be weakened the hope of bringing taiwan into the people's republic of china would be destroyed on a very long term so i am sure beijing is still hesitating to take this last step but as a last resort they will be ready to do it through that was once he has been living there reporting from beijing all right we want to go now to bangladesh large numbers of raw hinge of refugees have been sheltered in camps there since they fled me and more for fear of being killed 2 years ago i mean mars military you may remember began a crackdown in rock kind stayed ethnic hinges
