A small chilean town to watch a rare eclipse. There was a planned extradition law which spawned the protest movement now on kongs unrest is about so much more and this strong the harshest words yet from the territories ultimate rulers in beijing its called mondays takeover of the Hong Kong Legislative Council a blatant challenge to the one country 2 systems bottom line says we express our very own and condemnation against this of these were the scenes getting the attention protesters unfurling a british era colonial flag over the speakers podium and defacing the official seal of hong kong it was symbolic 22 years to the do. A since britain handed over control of hong kong to china with that anniversary was marked by yet another huge march the 3rd in a matter of weeks around half a 1000000 people filing through the streets protesting not just against the extradition bill but the governments response and what they see as increasing control from beijing. Andrew thomas is in hong kong he joins us live from there so andrew how they digesting everything thats happened in the last 24 hours a lot to take in right. A lot to take in and an incredible contrast in 24 hours 24 hours ago dusk in hong kong this was the absolute sense of the protesters and there were thousands and thousands upon. Right outside the Legislative Council building in the heart of hong kong and 24 hours ago this was entirely their domain there was no sign of any place so it was just before they went into the Legislative Council building and took that over that happened about 9 pm to 2 hours from now yesterday hong kong time and they had that building for themselves really for 2 hours and inside really cause significant damage in the time they were in there and then of course the right place came in and in the space of an hour an hour and a half played everybody out using tear Gas Production and some batons as well there was a real mess here at the end of all of that we were here in the early hours of Tuesday Morning hong kong time and the rubbish and detritus on the ground outside this building was incredible we went inside and saw the vandalism that there was through the ground floor right into the Legislative Council chamber itself as well choose day has all been about the cleanup and the Police Investigation and of course the 2 have gone in tandem the place has been meticulous getting all these objects weve been watching them all day taking them out of that Legislative Council building and actually fingerprinting them all looking like they are anyway metal bars that protesters that had been used as barricades were battering rams even things like posters that they were putting up all over the place theyve been looking at those and taking those away as evidence because kerry in her early hours press conference at 4 oclock in the morning hong kong time she said that 1st of all she was going to give in to none of the protesters demands but also that the place were going to actively pursue all those who got inside that building were trespassing illegally were acting violently and they would prosecute them and what weve seen today is the beginning of that place investigation ok so no giving in looking in hunting down for trespassers all of this indicative of beijing and authorities in hong kong coming down taking a tougher line. Well absolutely i mean the Hong Kong Government gave no ground at all in their press conference in the early hours of tuesday and in some way they may think that this may work in their favor in terms of getting Public Opinion away from supporting theyve brought aims of the protesters the Peaceful Protesters who are marching through the streets of perhaps coming a bit more towards them because they can patrol he the protesters who were here at the Legislative Council building on monday as violent hugel and hooligans who need to be pursued and prosecuted and those that you shouldnt share a wait whether theyll succeed in shifting Public Opinion of course is another matter entirely but certainly carry on the chief executive and beijing as we heard in those statements from beijing while theyre giving no ground that so far as where the protesters go from here well there are no more big events planned there are no more significant dates of course to a lot of 1st yesterday was a very significant day in hong kong the anniversary of the 100 over from british rule to chinese rule and every year there are protests the mark that day and of course the protests on monday were that much bigger this year because of the protests that led up to them but there are no more significant dates in the near future nor at the moment protest organizers organizing another big march and as for the protesters who were here what they have largely gone to ground weve tried to speak to a few over the course of tuesday and theyve not been replying to our messages but what we can probably assume that they would say is that they havent given up yet and their aims are still the same which are to get the extradition laws completely canceled not just suspended for the resignation of kerry lamb the chief executive and try to place investigation into previous placing of previous protests but quite honestly it feels on choose day as if those aims are successful those aims of further away today tuesday than they were 48 hours ago it may well be that the violence there that the government can legitimately say was not provoked by the police because the place were very slow or restraints perhaps in coming in i can say that that violence was entirely unilateral or i will leave it there for now thanks so much anger thomas. Catarina you has more reaction from the Chinese Capital now. This is the hong kong the Chinese Government wanted the world to see celebrations marking the 22nd anniversary of its return to the chinese motherland instead bs with the scenes broadcast around the world dismissed by beijing as little more than violent mobs pushing but it says is a blatant challenge to the one country 2 systems rule its strongest words yet very sentimental euthanizing of what happened in hong kong violently striking in the last minute damaging facilities is an act of troubling rule of law and violating social order is a serious to law breaking behavior. The communist party has condemned the storming of hong kongs Legislative Council and its full support behind chief executive kerry land government its backing a Police Investigation into the criminal responsibility of those involved on monday night saying offenders who feel the full force of the law. The Chinese Government are continuing to play down the takeover of hong kongs column and calling it the illegal behavior of a group of radicals but the intensity of the protest have no doubt time is leadership and pundits and questions as to why so many who are resisting they do is control they see or perceive that somehow beijing is overreaching that its violating what they perceive is the spirit or the agreement that was in the handover from beijings point of view theyre protecting their people and their country for now from Chinese State media a familia party line continuing to protest will only undermine social order and harm hong kong. Beijing is watching closely waiting to see of Hong Kong Government is able to stamp out the unrest if not it may bring with these protesters fear the more more control from the mainland katrina you aljazeera beijing. French president amanda macro is calling on iran to immediately reduce its enrich uranium reserves the uns Nuclear Watchdog confirmed to her on a stockpiling more enrich uranium than allowed on the 2015 uclear deal so in basra v. Has more from to her on. Iran speaker of parliament johnny speaking during a ceremony to mark the 988 us shoot down of an iranian passenger airliner flight 655 the remarks that he made really reflected the frustration of the iranian leadership not 290 people died in 1908 when a u. S. Missile cruiser fired at the passenger airliner but when the 2050 nuclear deal was signed the trust gap that exists between iran and the United States from years of conflict and incidents like this shoot down a lot of that trust had been bridged by moves made by the administration of u. S. President barack obama the latest remarks today from mr larijani illustrate how much of that trust deficit being built up that trust deficit being done away with during the Obama Administration much of that has been undone by the administration of u. S. President donald trump more should. Americas problem is that they dont know the middle east and the iranian nation and they think if they deploy some warships to the region they can suppress the determination of a nation but iranians have shown they have unified should realize that a civilized nation will get more united when theyre bullied if they understand that many problems will be sold to the understanding it needs wisdom on monday the u. N. Nuclear Watchdog Agency the i. A. E. A. Confirmed that iran had breached a stockpile limit agreed upon in the 2015 nuclear deal of 300 kilograms of an restraint the white house issued a statement saying that iran had been violating the wording of the way they had been violating the nuclear deal much before now iranian government officials have refuted that claim by the United States routinely and in the tweet from foreign minister zarif he simply said seriously question mark and that one word question really illustrates the frustration the ongoing frustration of iranian leaders many iranians here have said that they are caught between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party that the Republican White House under u. S. President donald trump is simply trying to undo a major landmark Foreign Policy milestone achieved by the obama era government and Irans Nuclear deal is simply caught in the middle. But russia has more from paris well the least they have put out a statement in which it says that the french presence in man or mark was very concerned about the fact that iran has decided to exceed its uranium limit also that the french president calls on tehran not to take any more steps that could mean the tehran possibly break some of its commitments made under the 2015 nuclear deal and that amount of marker in the coming days will continue to work to try and support this deal well this statement from the lease a very much reflects an echoes of those made by the British Foreign minister jeremy hunt on monday when he said that britain is very worried indeed by this decision made by iran but the european powers still support the 2015 deal thats germany britain france and the e. U. Because they see this as the best possible deal there is out there at the moment for peace and Regional Security it is clear that european nations are looking to try and stop iran from taking any steps that could be seen as completely violating the j. C. P. O. Way because if iran was to do that that would mean that the deal would collapse it would mean that the europeans powers of diplomacy and persuasion had failed and it would mean that perhaps europe would have to re impose sanctions on iran the europeans are fighting to save this deal they have set up a Payment System to try and shield the arabian economy from the full force of u. S. Sanctions it is called in stakes but at the moment it is only for small goods humanitarian aid food medicine that kind of thing iran wants it to be widened possibly to even the trade of rein in oil in europe but at this stage it seems very unlikely that the europeans could achieve that and there is no doubt they are in a very difficult position with iran turning up the pressure. Still ahead on aljazeera why its thumbs down from the international monitors now baby as municipal elections. Seems a really heavy right across southern parts of japan recently seen this china of cloud just filtering its way across q. C.

In essence we in the United States have privatized the ultimate Public Function your shadow on aljazeera. Welcome back youre watching out this time to recap headlines now china is calling overnight protests in hong kong a blatant challenge to the one country 2 systems principle thats the strongest condemnation from beijing since protesters stormed the citys main government building. The french president is calling on iran to immediately reduce its enrich uranium reserves the uns Nuclear Watchdog confirmed to her on this dog piling more enrich uranium than allowed on the 2015 nuclear deal sudans protest leaders are promising to step up demonstrations theyve called for a nationwide civil disobedience later this month they blame military leaders for the 11 deaths during sundays rallies. A new European Parliament has been inaugurated in strasbourg its the 1st session after elections in may and it begins as e. U. Leaders went into a 3rd day of talks on who should fill the blocks top jobs where. Take a closer look at whats at stake there the presidency of the European Council which is elected by the council itself is held by donald tusk the council presides over the 28. 00 Member States of the European Union of the European Parliament elects the president of the European Commission who will replace john claude euchre in addition the jobs of e. U. Foreign policy chief and head of the European Central bank are also up for grabs and the e. U. Parliament also chooses its president its new session was inaugurated on tuesday after those may elections but the barber joins us now live from brussels so does it look like were heading towards a 3rd times a chance scenario. It really doesnt right now sammy the latest is that theyve pushed back the start of those resume to the likes of the do it again to 4 hours after the show jules start whats been happening is donald tusk the leader of the European Council as you were mentioning has been Holding Holding separate consultations with the heads of government and one of the new. Names being floated as a possible nomination for the head of the European Commission one of those top jobs germanys defense minister on delay and shes a center right politician part of a chance to anger merkels party now previously the plan which was hatched at the g 20 over the weekend in japan was to have france timmermans a dutch socialist as the nomination for the Commission Heads and giving the center right in the form of manfred webers a german m. E. P. One of those other top jobs since then theres been a big push back by the center right calling even in the last few hours theyve been calling the Commission Presidency the jewel in the crown saying that they must get its post whoever it is whoever the individual is at the moment there are lots of names being put into the ring but its looking more and more likely that in 5 there are a big problems trying to reach a compromise here in brussels is it a fractured increasingly fractured i should say european Political Landscape thats causing this. You could put it like that because traditionally the center left the social democrats in the sense of right largely represented by christian democrats in the European Parliament have been the big 2 groupings and where they come in is that there is this system called candid that system the lead candidate system whereby the parties that do best in the european elections a venn reflected represented in who gets those top jobs but its much more complicated when you look at what happened in may in the elections the biggest grouping in the European Parliament is still the e. P. P. The center right grouping but there were gains by liberals greens and nationalists and theyre all saying that they should get more of a say in who gets appointed as you are saying the European Parliament votes for vero president that should happen on wednesday but also the leaders here usually nominate somebody some people see that as a rubber stamping. Activity and there is now a feeling there in the European Parliament that its time for them to take that control as the democratically elected body in the e. U. So its all intertwined and its part part of the the problem is that these jobs are being traded if we give you this here at the commission for example maybe you will your person will get the presidency in the European Parliament the peace dont like that so they say that they need to be listened to a lot more in the last last few hours sanchez the spanish Prime Minister has said if this deadlock here with the leaders does continue then the solution will be to listen to the European Parliaments and the barber there from brussels. Lawrence lee is that the European Parliament in strasburg. Given how benign and bureaucratic and slow things tend to be here in strasburg of the European Parliament there is what you can only describe as a free soul of excitement on the opening day of this new parliamentary session brought on by the inability of the European Council to choose the new Commission President s because what usually happens is that person gets picked and then the European Parliaments effectively says ok thats thats your man and then goes on more or less to rubber stamp decisions that the European Commission take even if under a little bit of scrutiny well clearly now its the other way around and the inability of the council to choose a Commission President has led to this flurry of activity here at the European Parliament as to whos going to be the next European Public president which they vote on wednesday because they know its on to think well if we get our president in 1st then we can start telling the commission what to do instead which is a complete about turn from how things usually are and that air of slight revolt in the air is obviously being completely magnified by the new makeup of the parliaments the decreased power of the sense of parties and suddenly how the liberals in the greens emerging on one side and the populists and the hard right on the other side these are not the kind of people to rubber stamp decisions and so given that it does look like a new and more noisy make of the parliament here there will be people who say well thats not very good its messy and its not very good for political stability across europe but a lot of other people might think well hang on we in europe dont even know who our m. E. P. Is are a lot of the time let alone understand what the point of the European Parliament is if it is more noisy and more democratic that might end up actually being quite a good thing. So dans protest leaders are vowing to step up demonstrations theyve called for nationwide civil disobedience later this month. Reports they blame the military leaders for the 11 deaths during sundays rallies im going to manipulate you i mean you mean that im going to be the latest victims of the fight for civilian rule in sudan killed the Security Forces broke up some of the largest demonstrations in weeks.
