Business will hear about growing opposition to facebooks plans for a crypto currency. Brexit negotiations between the eu and the uk are at a stalemate. And both sides are blaming each other for the lack of progress. Britain has just 86 days left before it is due to leave the eu. And the government insists it is genuine when it says it wants to leave with a deal. Heres the senior british cabinet michael gove. Iam i am deeply saddened that the eu now sees us i am deeply saddened that the eu now sees us to be refusing to negotiate with the uk. The Prime Minister has been clear that he wants to negotiate a good deal of the European Union and he will apply all the energy of the government to ensure that in the spirit of friendliness, we can negotiate a new deal. Brussels sees things a little differently. Heres the eus spokeswoman. As the president told Prime Minister johnson, it does remain available over the coming weeks should the United Kingdom wish to hold talks and clarify its position in more detail whether by phone or in person. So the eu is effectively saying their door is always open. But look at this tweet from our Political Correspondent nick eardley. He says eu officials believe there is no basis for meaningful talks over brexit. The sticking point, as always, is the irish backstop. Its there to avoid a hard border between Northern Ireland and the republic of ireland, by keeping the uk in the Eus Customs Union until a trade deal between the uk and the eu has been reached. Borisjohnson says it has to go. The eu says its not negotiable. And if no one compromises, no deal becomes more likely. Heres michael gove again. A scaling of preparations so that we are ready to leave on october the sist are ready to leave on october the 31st with or without a deal. The eve needs to appreciate that the days of drift that weve had in the past have ended, thats it, it is a Firm Deadline and the british people expect us to leave and will be ready to leave, it may so the eu is effectively saying their door is always open. But look at this tweet from our Political Correspondent nick eardley. They believe they should end on october 31, whether with the deal or no deal. This does not end on october 31, if there is a deal, we are going to enter into several yea rs of are going to enter into several years of negotiations on a new deal Free Trade Agreement and if there is not a deal, well have to begin negotiations again in the first item is on the agenda is the citizens rights, the financial settlement and the solution to the irish border. Heres our brussels correspondent adam fleming. The eu has not given up yet. They are not putting all their cards on that outcome yet. They are looking towards the g7 summit of leaders and france towards the end of this month and are thinking that could potentially be a moment where no deal breaks it becomes inevitable or not. Others here in brussels say that it could be a couple of weeks after that and will be when the British Parliament returns from the summer British Parliament returns from the summer break where we will really know where this is headed. If you step back, this is one of those moments where you realise that if there is going to be or breaks a deal on the 31st of october, one site is going to have to execute an absolutely massive plan now. Reaching a new agreement with the eu isnt the only way of avoiding no deal. It could still be blocked by the British Parliament. Borisjohnsons government currently has a majority of one. And opponents of a no deal are trying to get the numbers to win a vote of no confidence. But have a look todays front page of the times it says that even if mrjohnson lost the confidence of the house he would attempt to stay on for long enough to force through a no deal brexit on october 31. That could lead to a constitutional crisis. Lets bring in our Political Correspondent tom barton. Monitoring all of monitoring all of this, is this a stalemate . As far as the two negotiating sites. Absolutely yes. You have on one hand the British Government say that the only way we can negotiate is if we know that the backstop, the insurance policy designed to avoid checks on the irish border is up for negotiation, if theres a possibility of that being removed from the withdrawal agreement, this document which lays out the terms by which the uk would exit the eu and on the other hand you have the European Union and the Irish Government as part of that say that this backstop is absolutely critical to ensuring that trade can continue between the north and the south of ireland and that the peace deal, the good friday agreement that is negotiated all of those years ago could remain on the island of ireland and there is no way that it is upfor ireland and there is no way that it is up for negotiation and so weve had the two sides while not being terribly polite about each other, you heard michael gove accusing the eu of saying no, we do not want to talk in the next couple of hours, and we had the irish Prime Minister saying and insisting that the eu isnt being intransigent and saying that it isnt being intransigent and saying thatitis isnt being intransigent and saying that it is the uks insistence on removing that backstop which he finds disappointing. A very diplomatic way of putting it. What of the situation with the no deal we have Boris Johnson of the situation with the no deal we have borisjohnson talking about possibly staying on for longer to force it through but we have legal action possible being brought by a group of politicians, where are we with that . As you observed correctly, there is a very slim majority for Boris Johnsons government in parliament. Theres just one vote and it and only then, because he is being supported by the Northern Irish politicians from the Democratic Unionist Party and so, with an those parliamentarians, theres a significant number of those incredibly concerned with the prospect of no deal and are willing to ta ke prospect of no deal and are willing to take very drastic measures to stop it, including a significant numberfrom stop it, including a significant number from Boris Johnsons on conservative party. There are very few the mechanisms available to stop it and this is where the crunch really bites. Because adam observed a moments ago, and peace are currently on holiday. They do not come back to parliament until the 3rd of september and if they were to pass a vote of no confidence on the third of the 11th of september, then, there is a long timeline to calling and election. There are two weeks, after a vote of no confidence before an election would be called then another four weeks or so before the election would actually be held. That would put election day very close to potentially beyond the 31st of october meaning that no deal could end up happening because that is the default position in law. The only other option opened is to use those two weeks after a vote of no confidence to try and put together a government, an alternative government, an alternative government that has a majority in parliament and that is a very challenging task with british politics as divided as it is at the moment. A challenging task of talking us through it. Thank you. On our website we have loads more, lots of background as well. I need to ta ke of background as well. I need to take you to kashmir. Tensions over kashmir are flaring up between india and pakistan yet again. Yesterday india revoked the special autonomous status for the part of kashmir it controls. Pakistan also claims kashmir and has vowed to fight indias decision. Heres pakistans Prime Minister on his fears for where it could all lead. Iam asking i am asking this question. If we get ready to fight until the last drop of blood . Ready to fight until the last drop of blood . What ready to fight until the last drop of blood . What where will that be . It will be the war that no one will win . Everyone will lose that war . The implications will be felt across the world. So, the next question is, ami the world. So, the next question is, am i using nuclear blackmail . I am not using nuclear blackmail. So some strong words from the pakistani Prime Minister there. The situation in indian administered kashmir itself is tense. It remains in lockdown. Here are some pictures from the streets of the capital srinagar, where a curfew is in place. The Indian Government is trying to keep a lid on any dissent. Telephone networks and the internet are still down after being cut off yesterday. But bbc hindis aamir peer zada managed to access one of the few telephone lines available. Here he is. We have no idea what is happening because there is no communication. You cant go from one place to another because theres a huge deployment of Security Forces with checks that want to check your identity and why you want to go there and their hostilities everywhere on the streets. People are angry, theyre trying to understand what is happening, what is going to come to them. What will be their fate. The Indian Governments decision is particularly controversial because Jammu Kashmir is the only muslim majority state in india. Its maintained those demographics with strict controls on who can buy property. Now those restrictions will no longer apply. Heres what inshah malik, an assistant professor at Kardan University in kabul, had to say. It is not just it is notjust about it is not just about article it is notjust about article 370. It is already disputed and also there are claims of already being a de fa cto are claims of already being a de facto occupation in terms of the human rights abuses that have been happening over the period of time and how these provisions that are supposed to grant special status to kashmir and how they would be conducted. This has been waning over the years if you look at kashmirs history and especially the electoral and political history. What this move actually signifies is a more robust cellular kind of colonialism where there is a complete disregard for what they have to say about the status. And what ive seen over the yea rs, status. And what ive seen over the years, what one can gather is that we are fearing the worse for kashmir plus plus people. Kashmirs people. Is there a total lockdown there . It is interesting for me as well because we are here in kabul because there are some resolutions on the final peace deal and the sudden issue seems to divert the attention towards this crisis thatis the attention towards this crisis that is magnifying as we speak and i feel that there is a kind of deliberate way to jeopardise peace and the entire region and notjust for kashmir people but also india and pakistan, so december the far fetched to think that this is sort ofa fetched to think that this is sort of a attempt to take it away from. What is a resolution, what kind of resolution do you see as a possibility given the troubled history that pakistan and india have so much at stake here . What we gather in terms of what political demands that kashmirs people have here, it would not be anything short ofa here, it would not be anything short of a referendum at this point in the com plete of a referendum at this point in the complete demilitarization from both india and pakistan and kashmir does believe that the United Nations and other World Leaders could play a proactive role and stop the situation from becoming a Nuclear Crisis that the Prime Minister has pointed out that he could actually become more severe.

Both sides say they are open to talks, but only when the other side makes concessions. Some of the other stores they were watching on the bbc news room.

Not only has he been charged 50 thousand dollars, but he and his accomplice have been forced to go down the slope and carry the fridge back up. Lets bring you up to date with beijing. Beijing has issued a warning to the us, over its decision to officially label china a currency manipulator. It comes after the yuan breached the key threshold of 7 yuan to the dollar on monday, something it hadnt done in more than a decade. Its a move widely seen as retaliation for the latest trade tariffs announced by President Trump. Youll remember his angry tweet from yesterday the peoples bank of china has strongly denied this, saying it and it warns that these words will the bbcs zhaoyin fong is in washington with the latest. Beijing has called the us move ridiculous and response irresponsible and saying that the us is being a bully here. If you look at the us legal terms for currency manipulator, they have to spend more than 2 of its gdp to manipulate currency. While china is not at that level yet. So china has caught the us making a wrong move and certainly rising the tensions of the trade talks. So we have this looming currency role ahead of us, what are the other implications . By currency manipulator, being labelled as such, the implication is quite limited because the label does not come with heavy punishment. However, the greater implication is race symbolic not only in currency but also the Financial Sector even in ta ct, also the Financial Sector even in tact, if you look at huawei, you are hearing the new chapter of the trade war, presumably more painful and confrontational. Donald trump is not backing down and we have talks coming up in september, trade talks coming up in september, trade talks coming up in september, trade talks coming up in september this does not bode well for the trade talks, this kind of rhetoric. It would be seen as confrontational by each side and it is not good for the atmosphere for the talk indeed. But i think both sides understand how high the sta kes a re both sides understand how high the stakes are and if you look at the 10 tariffs, going kicking into september, the bank of china has signalled that the change of exchange rates, it goes both ways, so it can rise and drop depending on the seasons, so in reasonable range. For the chinese leadership, an interesting time for them and discussing important affairs about the country and certainly the trade wa rs the country and certainly the trade wars on top of the agenda, so later in august, we might expect to see some significant announcement coming out of beijing. Yesterday, the markets did not like all of that uncertainty. Today, they have recovered slightly and that is because the bank of china take the currency slightly higher level to stop that fall. Investors are breathing a sigh of relief but there is always a but, it can be short lived. Here is this tweet. Lets cross over to new york as michelle is monitoring all of this. Explain to us what is china doing yesterday, the markets are very unhappy in china seems to be backing down a little bit stop is that right to say . The noises coming out of Chinas Central Bank seem to suggest that they will not devalue it against the dollar any further and that it was a reassuring message that it was a reassuring message that certainly went down wealthier on wall street and then theyjust closed on the United States, it is a far cry from yesterday where you may recall markets down substantially, or down more than 2 , the worst day of the year so far and the industrial down more than 700 points and at one point in the day, now you are looking at a little bit more of are looking at a little bit more of a section of 311 points, is not regaining the losses from yesterday but certainly a much calmer move on wall street compared to the 2a hours ago. Michelle in new york. International opposition to facebooks cryptocurrency plans has stepped up a gear. Global privacy regulators have joined forces to demand guarantees from the social network over how it will protect users personal and financial data. Dr Garrick Hileman the head of research at blockchain told us about some of the privacy and security concerns. Already there is a huge concern that facebook has done a social data and financial data. All of this under one house. There is other concerns beyond that there is facebook to big . The impacts to conduct Monetary Policy so theres a laundry list of concerns outside of privacy and they would not satisfied regulated concerns, but they are in a very difficult position here because they are being asked to have all these privacy safeguards in place but they are also being pressured to make sure no bad actors are using this and know him money laundry is going on and know him money laundry is going on money laundering. It is because its becoming more regulated so we see exchanges and other platforms getting approval from regulators, regulated products and privacy, privacy enhancing aspects to block chaining technology but Law Enforcement has shown some success in tracking down bad actors and recovering but queens was types of transactions will leave a digital paper trail and Law Enforcement can use that to prosecute and recover from bad actors sometimes. Would you take your children to work . Sharmaden reid, founder of the tech startup beautystack, decided she wanted to offer childcare to her employees but on her own terms. Ijust thought, i just thought, what would ijust thought, what would i have wa nted ijust thought, what would i have wanted when i was a new working mother.

Well be hearing from victims of americas Mass Shootings in ohio and texas President Trump plans to visit both places on wednesday. Venezuela accuses the United States of economic terrorism, after the Trump Administration freezes all of its assets in the us. And the African American author Toni Morrison, who won the nobel prize for literature, has died aged 88. Well look back on her life. The aftermath of two Mass Shootings over the weekend is still being felt across the United States. More stories from the victims have emerged. This is is one woman speaking to cbs news about calling her parents, after finding out they had taken her daughter to the supermarket in el paso where one of the shootings occured. Where they still at the wire might when i was calling, i think they were. She was very, they were just saying that they were going to samson. What happened period guided . Hejumped in samson. What happened period guided . He jumped in front of them and place them under to hide them and took a bullet. I dont how many. But he didnt make it. Bullet. I dont how many. But he didnt make it. Im so sorry. Thank you. And your dad saved in your mums life in your daughters life. You. And your dad saved in your mums life in your daughters life. And i will forever be thankful. Exceptional bravery there. The two shootings left 31 people dead. One was in dayton ohio, where a gunman killed 9 people. The other was in el paso, texas, where a gunman killed 22 people. There have now been 255 Mass Shootings in the us this year and the political fallout is growing. President trump has hit back at a statement from his predecessor, barack obama, that criticised leaders who normalise racism. President trump was clearly watching fox and friends this morning, because he quoted a fox news presenter, saying did george bush ever condemn president obama after sandy hook . That was the shooting at an Elementary School in which 20 children were killed. He was reacting to this statement from barack obama we should soundly reject language coming out of the mouths of any of our leaders that feeds a climate of fear and hatred and normalises racist sentiments. The suspect in the el paso shooting is believed to have posted a white supremacist manifesto online minutes before the attack, complaning about an hispanic invasion. Ba rack obamas statement is about racist language and donald trump clearly believes it was directed at him. Heres my colleague Philippa Thomas with some reasons why that might be. This president has used language unlike any other. They are bringing drugs, they are bringing crime, they are rapists. Hes a man used to making waves and shocking others. Nevermore said that in the wake of the violence in charlottesville virginia, two years ago. When he commented that there were some very fine people on both sides. In another tweet, also quoting a fox news presenter, donald trump wrote its political season and the election is around the corner. They want to continue to push that racist narrative. One of the Democratic Candidates for the nomination to run against donald trump in 2020 isjoe biden, Barack Obamas vice president. This is what he has to say. He said with no president has said, he said there were very fine people on both sides. God, forgive him. Ladies and gentlemen, the words of president terrys matters. Because the world listens. They understand and quite frankly, our children are listening. We do not talk about the impact this has and will have for a long time. What the president terrys. We cannot fix a problem if we feel it if we refuse to name a problem. This is white nationalism. This is white supremacy. This is about hate. This is about what happened in a border community. Asjoe biden said there, el paso is a community right on the border with mexico, where donald trump has vowed to build a wall to keep out migrants. They are the people he referred to as drug dealers and rapists in his 2016 president ial campaign. Tomorrow President Trump will visit the scenes of both shootings. This is the reaction from el paso, from another democratic candidate for president , beto orourke, who grew up in the city and ran for the senate there this president , who helped create the hatred that made saturdays tragedy possible, should not come to el paso. We do not need more division. We need to heal. He has no place here. Gary odonoghuejoins us live from el paso. Gary, very strong words there. We can imagine the kind of reception donald trump will get in our process. donald trump will get in our process. El paso. As many people here who dont want to happen there. His successor, the woman he won the congressional seat after him, veronica asked about is that something similar. This town has already had some pretty Difficult Run ins with the president. He mentioned his talk about the border while here, hes using el paso at times, he had a rally here back in february, where he talked about mexicans coming across the border and others from south and Central America coming across a boy there. He insulted the citys mayor, at the time, saying he was talking a load of cla p time, saying he was talking a load of clap is what he said about the city mayor at the time. He would not get a great reception when he comes. Interestingly, i was talking, and as a light in the here you can see behind me outside the walmart, where the memorials are still being followed up, get as many people i spoke to there and there was a mixed reception at about the president s visit. One woman said to be, let one of the families of those who lost someone, did would to people in the shooting, they posted on their Facebook Page that they think the president should come and that he should be spoken to and hurried and this woman said luck, they can do that than the rest of the should be able to welcome him. But someone else said the president should not come here because he has blood on his hands. There have been strong allegations against the president , suggesting that democrats he helped create this narrative, he created what happened. Any response from the waist white house as far . What happened. Any response from the waist white house as far . And pushed back as you expect them to do. In fact, they pointed to the quotes and statement by the president yesterday where he condemned racism and condemned white supremacist, thats what he said. And they pointed to that but of course lots of people will say, look, thats fine for yesterday but what about all the other times where you invoked racial tensions, way he talked about emigrants as drug dealers or as rapists or as murderers or invaders. And they say, love, one change of time by the president does it necessarily mean hes changed his mind, but the encounter here tomorrow and indeed in dayton tomorrow, will be crucial for this president. He does not want to come away from this places particularly el paso, let people saying he did not listen or thinking and yet no idea. He will want to try and yet no idea. He will want to try and do his best to persuade them that he does understand and get this idea that it was a community attacked here, not just idea that it was a community attacked here, notjust three days that are poured as an individual. Gary, when the president that has tomorrow, i know you will update as of the events they are, at gary for the time being, thank you. The american author Toni Morrison has died at the age of 88. She was the first black woman to win the nobel prize for literature, and also won the Pulitzer Prize for her novel beloved. Former us president barack obama presented her with the president ial medal of freedom in 2012, and paid this tribute Toni Morrison was a national treasure, as good a storyteller, as captivating, in person as she was on the page. Her writing was a beautiful, meaningful challenge to our conscience and our moral imagination. What a gift to breathe the same air as her, if only for a while. The bbcs david silito looks back at her life. I dont mean that there were no narratives that slave women told and there was no information about it. I mean, it wasnt the narrative in literature. My effort in beloved to do that, to talk about a woman who had to make some choices. Toni morrison and beloved, a story of slavery and grief. The sort of book that Toni Morrison wanted to read, but had to write herself. 30 years on, its success is more about than just sales or being part of the school syllabus, it is what it has done to tell the untold. She had the ability and the genius to create a world that had not existed before. Not only that, a quintessentially american world. She is an american writer, shes an African American writer. There is my house. Toni morrison had grown up in lorain, ohio and she made it to cornell university. Her grandparents had been sharecroppers in the deep south. You could go to jail or be fined if you were white and taught a black person. That says it all about reading. So my family took the whole thing very seriously, it was like a revolutionary act. She began writing in the 60s. Her first novel, the bluest eye, was a story of childhood, black childhood in a white world. Each night without fail, she prayed for blue eyes. Fervently, for a year, she had prayed. 23 years later, Toni Morrison was awarded the nobel prize for literature. Just one of a mantelpiece full of awards. There was, she said, a vacuum in literature. Summed up by that little girl in the bluest eye. It took five years for me to write that very small book. To Pay Attention, Pay Attention to this child. Maybe she is in difficulty. Shes obviously hurt. Shes abused and misused, but take her seriously. Please. Stay with us on outside source still to come. China issues a strong warning to hong kongs protesters, saying that those who play with fire will perish by it. The basking shark is one of the Worlds Largest fish. But, despite being fairly common off the west coast of scotland, little is known about their behaviour. Now scientists are using Ground Breaking technology to follow basking sharks below the surface. Leigh milner reports. Lurking beneath the water in the scottish hebrides, a basking shark. With their large mouth, they feed on plankton. They can weigh up to seven tonnes and grow to ten metres long, making them the second largest fish in the world. Every year between may and october, large groups gather here. Why . Well, no one really knows. To find out, scientists have used an underwater torpedo shaped robot, which follows the sharks and records a 360 degree High Definition video. The sharks first of all have to be tagged, so that shark cam can track the device and follow their movements underwater. Its hoped the footage will reinforce case for conservation in the area. One of the key tools to protecting our Marine Wildlife is marine protected areas. These are areas that are protected from the different human activities that could cause damage to Marine Wildlife. So far, footage has shown the sharks moving through the water, potentially searching for food, feeding near the surface, and swimming close to the sea bed. It is suspected that basking sharks may even breed here an event no one has ever captured on film. It turns out that these waters here are probably one of the most important places on the planet for them and what we are really hoping to confirm is, this is the place they breed. With threats such as pollution, overfishing and climate change, it is hoped this new technology will eventually help protect Marine Wildlife and help us understand more about this magnificent species. This is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. Our lead story is. Brexit negotiations between the eu and the uk are at a stalemate. Both sides say they are open to talks, but only when the other side makes concessions. The United States has imposed a total economic embargo on the venezuelan government, freezing its assets in the us and barring transactions with it. Heres the Us National Security adviser speaking at a summit in lima. This now covers everything having to deal with the government of venezuela, every aspect of it. And perhaps even more importantly, it extends the authority to impose sanctions on all of those who co operate or assist or support any element that the government of venezuela. That includes any foreign entity, government, corporation, person. To keep the madera regime in power. So basically, one way to summarise this to a business for example is if you want to do business in venezuela, or do you wa nt to business in venezuela, or do you want to do business with United States . These latest sanctions are expected to be far more damaging for venezuelas socialist government than previous ones. The us is one of more than 50 nations that dont recognise president maduro as venezuelas legitimate president. They want him out, and replaced withjuan guaido, the head of the National Assembly who declared himself president in january. In a letter to the us congress, President Trump wrote that he had imposed the new sanctions because president maduro is continuing to hold onto power as well as human rights abuses, arbitrary arrest and detention of venezuelan citizens. Lets hear from john bolton again. This is a barrier rarely used tool by the United States. We have only usedit by the United States. We have only used it sparingly in the past half century, but that made zero regime nowjoins that exclusive cloud have rogue straight states iq by syria and north korea and iran that are subject to that form of sanctions. More than six months have passed since venezuelas opposition leaderjuan guaido declared himself interim president , arguing that mr maduros re election last year was fraudulent. Heres whatjuan guaido made of todays sanctions. Sanctions are not against venezuela, they are against a regime and does he do business at the expense of venezuelan hunger. The venezuelan government has a very different view. Heres their ambassador speaking at the United Nations. What power has the United States, let me their power, to impose sanctions on these coercive measures that are illegal and cruel and monstrous measures against entire populations . Nine. I mean, we are talking about war crimes. Nine. This is crimes against humanity, the people are criminals. And for more on the impact of these latest sanctions on venezuela i spoke to our state department correspondent, Barbara Plett usher, in washington. If the americans are going to sanction third parties as he was saying, and when he tries to do business with the madera government, then that would be quite bad news and it would increase the effect of sanctions already in place. And that it seems to be the main intent of this move by the americans. They are quite frustrated with the situation, its been six months sincejuan guiado declared himself in tarrant president and the americans through their support behind them. There have been numbers of government competition, but he is still in power. And for that, the americans blame partly at least his supporters. He has a number of countries that support him, especially russia and china, and so i think the administration has been quite clear in its message, this is directly aimed at such countries telling them they should and their support for ten or they will suffer the consequences i like that means in practise, we do not know. Because its not clear how effective that approach can be, the russians and tight chinese have been able to get around the sanctions to certain extent. Also if youre going to prove that that a foreign country is undermining sanctions, takes a certain amount of investment and time and resources and Human Resources to see thats happening, i will be americans and best and be belichick vigilant, but nevertheless its an expression of us presentation but the situation and very much saying they feel that he is being propped up by these outside powers. Givenjust how difficult daily life is in venezuela, the Trump Administration is adamant that these are not affecting the people, this isjust a regime is being affected. Well thats the idea, they say they are not targeting people, they had made 21 exemptions that they say in order to get certain types of humanitarian aid and food and other things, like internet to support the people. Not only the people, but happy opposition as it tries to continue with this campaign to unseat the madera government. But however experts say theres always a key mentoring exemption and rarely does it work well because any financing for it and if the government is sanction, and outside banks will be relu cta nt sanction, and outside banks will be reluctant and cautious to deal with anybody. The press and youre dealing with could be a proxy at the venezuelan government, so it does seem by many people who are watching this that its going to make things even more difficult for those on the ground. China has issued a stern warning to protesters in hong kong, saying those who play with fire will perish by it. It comes after parts of hong kong were brought to a standstill on monday by pro democracy demonstrators who took part in a city wide strike, leading to violent clashes with police. A spokesman for chinas top policy office in hong kong told protesters not to mistake their restraint for weakness. Do not underestimate the firm resolve and tremendous power at the Central Government. And people across china, to maintain prosperity and stability in hong kong. And safeguard the fundamental interests of china. The demonstrations have been going on for nine consecutive weeks. Protesters want an independent inquiry into alleged police brutality, the complete withdrawal of a controversial extradition bill to mainland china, and the resignation of this woman, this is hong kongs leader carrie lam. But, beijing says thats not going to happen. Heres the china spokesman again. I must be very clear here. In support of chief executive is unwavering. The plot at the opposition to force the chief executive to redesign is doomed to fail. The protests show no sign of dying down. Theyre seen as a reflection of how many hong kongers fear that their freedoms are being eroded. Pro democracy activist, joshua wong, says the threats from the Central Government in china will not stop them. Its its not only about the extradition bell, its about the political system. Its serving only the interest of beijing. The hong kong people to elect their own government instead of a pointed one by beijing serving bear interests of communist regimes. When we experience 800 tear gas used by the police, and they have arrested more than 500 activists and citizens in the past two months, it shows the crackdown on human rights. Yesterday, we know that 300,000 peoplejoined on human rights. Yesterday, we know that 300,000 people joined the general strike and i believe protest must continue because no matter what, he needs to have a more progressive approach i guess more assemblies in different districts, just like how they have protests of families with parents and kids, they had their rallies on the weekend, is just showing how the people are with you need t to continue to fight for our future. Fresh scuffles then broke out between protesters and police here we see demonstrators hurling rocks and even reportedly a petrol bomb at police who responded with tear gas and pepper spray. The scuffles come despite the warning earlier the strongest comments issued over the protests so far. Heres Stephen Mcdonell reporting from hong kong. This is very much a very stern warning from the Central Government in beijing. A week ago, the Affairs Office held to a price on conference. I personally prefer this mentioned ministry. And if im press co nfe re nce mentioned ministry. And if im press conference and it was conning type message. It was a price that we had from the ministry. They were trying to make sure everyone bet itll go back to normal but not today, they came out saying while at the moment the people at Liberation Army will not be called into the streets of hong kong, because they are saying that the Hong Kong Police can handle this crisis. Up until yesterday, the police fired 1000 rounds of tear gas from the 9th of june up until yesterday. Then, yesterday alone, they fired another 800 rounds of tear gas. This gives you an idea of escalation here from both sides. On the police side its tear gas and pepper spray but the protesters cited project outs and brea ks protesters cited project outs and breaks trying to set things on fire. And still, no sign of a way this could all and. Steve mcdonald i dont forget yesterday he had a face mask that was smashed when he was targeted with a project on this will likely hes ok.
