Thats right michel well this week is ending with another unprecedented rally bringing the center of hong kong to a standstill just as the week begin of course this week we have seen a change it seems to tactics with the protesters having these flash mobs right type of demonstrations targeting transport links some major highways and so on and today friday again they have brought some various areas of Hong Kong Island to a standstill we are in the central area of hong kong this is that paper street and until about half an hour or so ago hundreds of people were Walking Around the streets many of them black protesters who have been clearly taking part in these protesters protests for months now but interestingly being joined by Many Office Workers who were clearly Office Workers who had come down and deciding to use their lunch hour to protest or demanding these 5 demands that they have been demanding since the very beginning calling on people to stand with hong kong to fight for freedom now they have dissipated have left in the last half hour or so the Police Arrived just a couple of minutes ago and they are now in the process of reopening the streets with some a bit of an Obstacle Course down here as you can see lots of bricks have been left in very interesting kinds of shakes to stop the traffic they have all got to be cleared away and then hong kong gets back to normal again but it was in the demonstrations that took place in this same Central District of hong kong that did turn very violent during the week Police Arrived they fired tear gas here has to be said that this demonstration so far at least has ended peacefully but last week of course we did see. Some fighting between police and protesters and also damaged theres a bank down here which had its windows smashed in because it is a chinese owned but we have not seen anything like that so far today richelle all right robin the latest from hong kong thank you. A ceasefire in gaza has broken down less than 24 hours after it began Israeli Forces and Islamic Jihad fighters exchanged cross border fire overnight violence began on tuesday after Israeli Forces assassinated a Senior Leader of the Islamic Jihad in gaza 34 palestinians have been killed since then matheson joins us live from less true slim so where do things stand with maybe getting this ceasefire back on track. Well richelle i was talking working to our team in gaza this morning this saying that the last few hours there have been quiet since those Israeli Military airstrikes that were carried out on what the Israeli Military was calling Islamic Jihad training grounds we understand that in practical terms that meant open and Agricultural Land in gaza and the Israeli Military saying that that operation has no ended and this followed rockets that were fired from gaza into israel around about 10 pm local time on thursday night now we dont know exactly how many rockets were fired but we do get the the impression that this was a smaller number than the rocket launches that weve seen over the last few days Israeli Military saying that at least one of those rockets was brought down by its iron dome Defense System this comes as things were beginning to seem as though they were returning to normal many of the crossings between gaza and israel had been reopened and people and goods and started moving through on either side also israel had extended back to its original limits the fishing limit for gaza fishermen but last night thursday night we saw a video that was released claimed to be from Islamic Jihad and also claiming to show what they were describing as a longer range rocket that they have been using in the conflict over the last few days and saying that this was all palestinian made also an Islamic Jihad military spokesman said that the group still had its finger on the trigger also on thursday night later on we saw protests in northern gaza against the cease fire and we understand that schools on the israeli side of the gaza border have been told to stay close today on friday and now there is always a period of tension after a cease fire between gaza and israel and it is rarely the case that the cease fire simply means that fighting stops it generally start. Maybe what were seeing now but at the same time in the last few days since the cease fire was announced rockets have been fired from gaza into israel at least 3 times with people on both sides of the border still wondering whether or not this ceasefire overall may still hold. From math with the latest there and thank you for bolivian president evo morales is calling for International Assistance to end the political crisis he made the comment in mexico where hes been forced into exile following disputed election results. I have plenty of confidence in the u. N. Because weve had extensive talks at the un secretarygeneral he has a lot of social conscience plenty of commitment to the poor he should be the mediator not just a facilitator accompanied by the Catholic Church and of pope francis is needed we should add him traceable has more from. Thousands of protesters around bolivias president ial palace they came here to show support to their leader ever want to. Embed william is a 25 year old student he says hes warned about whats happening in his country. Its an interim government that does not represent us its filled with white people that look at us with racism and hatred we came here to show who the original people of bolivia really are on wednesday interim president jimmy 9 yes a new cabinet in a place where bolivias mostly Indigenous Community was well represented and where this spirit of. Of mother earth sacred to that community was once revered its now been replaced with a bible across and mostly nonindigenous representatives. If people are demanding the resignation of. Money. Theyre also saying that now its time for civil war. To a seriously or and even the new administration that they want to go by the. Most a they are. Not representative i like that. The government is trying to quell the protests with police and military presence on the street theyre also trying to paint a negative image of abel more ellis and accuse him of excessive while in power by granting media access to his private quarters in the president ial palace given the vietnam recall he lived like a rich man and spoke and defended the poor this is an example of something he did and everything he has robbed even morale has never allowed the media to come to the floors of the president ial house in spite of the deep divisions in this country members of moralists m a s party agreed to hold a Senate Meeting with the legislators of the new interim administration they fear the party will be banned and one to be allowed to participate in the elections as its unlikely they will more or less will be allowed to run. I would suggest to the movement for Socialism Party that from now on they have every right to participate in the general elections but they need to start looking for a candidate evo morales is not qualified for a 4th term thats why there have been so many protests by bolivians on the streets. People say they are protesting because they feel they new interim administration does not represent them and want to make sure they wont lose the rights they were granted when able moralist came to power almost 14 years ago.

May hinder rajapaksa is not running for president hes already served the maximum 2 terms yet hes the man these people have waited hours in the rain to see. If hes older less charismatic brother got a buyer whos on the ballot politics is a Family Business for the rajapaksa its. Got a buyer announced his candidacy after the Easter Sunday suicide bombings the targeted churches and hotels killing 263 people. We want to save the country and make it a safer place in the future. Were hoping that hes the one who can save the country for our children. As defense minister and president rajapaksa as were credited with crushing the towel tigers in the civil war got to by our faces lawsuits in the u. S. In relation to human rights atrocities allegedly committed joining the conflict in peace time the rajapakse has borrowed billions of dollars from china for Infrastructure Projects trying to sit in the middle of strategic indian ocean shipping lanes china has a 99 year lease on a port on the Southern Coast if supporters have any concerns about that theyve been put to one side what has become important for them is to be assured to be able to make the assumption that i can go out of my house i can send my children to school whatever that there is no question in and. Rajapaksa has promised another 5000000000. 00 on new Infrastructure Projects if he wins. This can rely on strong. Majority there will be some votes. In its.
