Braces for another weekend of protests as a newspaper seen as a mouthpiece for beijing urges china to take direct action. Im carl massive and welcome to the Program Police in the zimbabwe have used tear gas and Water Cannons against antigovernment protesters and the capital harare more than 100 opposition supporters demonstrated despite a police ban which was up held by the High Court Supporters of zimbabwes Opposition Movement for Democratic Change accuse the government of corruption and mismanaging the failing economy. Pails and violence as a symbolic way Police Clashed with a position supports his firing tear gas and Water Cannons to disperse the protesters. Testis. Earlier on friday demonstrators took to the streets of harare after their plans for large scale marches were banned by police late on thursday nights. That angry at the government blaming them for the countrys dayak anomic situation if we demonstrate peacefully we want change was rather tired of promises promises promises riyad tired enough is enough. If theres ever going to be people people we have the power within is the executive that is why i often proceed he is the most original. It was supposed to be the 1st in a series of protests across the country overnight by the Main Opposition Party movement for Democratic Change after Zimbabwes High Court rejected that challenge to the ban opposition leaders vowed to continue fighting. We are not making doubt we are Going Forward to the people of zimbabwe i typed it up i want to end this long suffering so what else again would be my cheese please listen but. As police launched the crackdown the Ruling Party Zanu p. F. Issued a warning to demonstrators. Visions no we didnt really. Need this in a recent oh number has she demanded. Howard stern no shit. We are not going to allow him. To do the piece that stand. With almost a 3rd of the countrys population in need of 8 demonstrators a set to keep up their calls for change however police attempt to stop them. So how big of a threat are these protests for the government in zimbabwe correspondent privilege most on here it is in harare and sent this assessment. I think the government is bound to plead to these demonstrations that were planned for today to 10 violent and to become if threats to the government with the bad ground of the january 14 riots where they were spread across the country and ended up being violent and property was destroyed across the country. The government is also weary of just the general sentiment is that obtaining across the country where people are feeling hard done with what only he is doing because a lot of people the cost of living has gone up high and a lot of people are struggling to put food on the table but if you look at the year that is just gone by when prison and when al gore was elected into government a lot of expectations were high that the economy was going to turn out for the better but it is turning out for the west but you also need we also need to take into account that you are in the heritage 30 years of misrule and economic decay so to turn around such a situation it would take 10 years ask for patients there and reforms that the government is instituting but those reforms will not take place or take effect overnight they will need time to be implemented this zimbabwe had no currency now they are trying to bring back their currency but all these reforms unfortunately are coming into time when the economy is not performing and people are demanding immediate change so it is a difficult task for the government.

Or china appears to be readying to take direct action against protesters in hong kong with a newspaper seen as a mouthpiece for beijing backing intervention the global times said quote if hong kong cannot restore the rule of law on its own its imperative for the Central Government to take to read action Chinese Armed police have carried out drills just across the border with hong kong ahead of fresh prodemocracy protests planned for this week at these pictures show a Paramilitary Police exercise in the chinese city of chanson on the border of hong kong forces here appear to be practicing how best to handle angry protesters its clearly a signal being sent to hong kong a warning to the quote rioters there thats according to the global times a mouthpiece of the communist party it says that hong kong cannot restore the rule of law in its own its imperative that the Central Government take direct action. The message is a thinly veiled threat to the demonstrators in the form of british colony in hong kong on friday thousands of people gathered for a peaceful demonstration in the city center the slogan for the evening was standard hong kong side many here are hoping for support from western democracies around the world and fear that beijing could soon intervene. If air his various scare as. Im cause she dying. From their home we are as a point of no return so we have to protect our homeland and know and stand on my own code you know come back to thats why im here. Mall rallies and protests marches a planned for over the weekend. Charlotte shelton pillas in hong kong she sent us this update as the territory enters its 11th weekend of protests. Thousands of people are once again gathered in this iconic Hong Kong Congress evening this is the certain number of protests planned over the weekend this one is being called a stand with hong kong power to the people protest the organizers demanding that the u. K. And the u. S. Take action in solidarity with this prodemocracy movement now a lot of people are going to be watching the events of this weekend very closely that is after a big turning point on tuesday night when 2 men were detained and assaulted by protesters at the airports protested then issued an apology saying that they believe that the 2 men were chinese infiltrators they say that theyve learned from their mistakes they want these protests Going Forward to remain as peaceful as possible but the trouble is of course this is a Leaderless Movement well thats been a big strength of the protest movement is also a weakness is there a small factions factions of protesters who do plan on becoming more aggressive protesters here say the events of this. Weekend will also depend on beijing any action they take and of course the actions of police who protesters say that become increasingly violent over recent weeks. All social media played an Important Role in the hong kong protests activists have been using apps like twitter and telegram so organize rallies and inform protestors about times dates and places and now theyre getting even more creative in order to extend their reach Rebecca Ritters is here and she can tell us more about that i mean what kind of tools are we talking about here were you mentioned a couple of them before the more standard ones twitter and telegram but now the police are cracking down on the protestors theyre having to get you to move more savvy you know way to keep up momentum and spread the word so one of the ways theyre doing that is through the dating app tinder so people in hong kong of started using the app not just for dating but that is where their protests support for the protest Movement Like these ones here adding hash tags political slogans to that in the profiles just to keep up a mentor and some even using political slogans as their profile pictures like as in this case here as a show more support more support keeping up the momentum rather than actually organizing you know day to specific times or whatever but another tool thats become really popular. May not be as 5 minutes of us but with i phones we surely know its a its an i phone file sharing feature and its great for reaching people who dont use social media people who perhaps on a tech savvy or the elderly you dont have to download it you dont even have to be on the internet peer to page have to have bluetooth for sharing files you can share files to random people who are basically in the radar proximity its kind of like an old method style of leafleting if you will and there theyre also all encrypted on this on this tool so its pretty safe and of the features turned on you can send a message to. Anyone in the area so it just pops up the new phones as receive message so theyve been sending you know lots of dates and post his stuff about events that are happening so tender airdrop i mean what about who are they trying to reach them is just people in Hong Kong Well you know they want to they want International Recognition as well but a particular group of people that theyre trying to target is a tourist from Mainland China there so theyre targeting them through address up coverage of the protests in china has been heavily censored so a protest is a tug meant to try and get their message across through this way. Some of the images are done designed to look and feel a bit like propaganda from beijing but if you look more closely and realize that you realize the message is actually anti Chinese Government jobs especially good for reaching these this target audience because it gets around any files that people might have from Chinese Telecommunications companies it think theyre really coming up with some creative ways very creative stuff even using tender with no thought of that user backorders they very much. Youre watching news still to come in the militias make a capital city jakarta is sinking because of uncontrolled groundwater extraction so the government is planning to make another city the capital and lead to heart to its subdomain in fate.

Its a city of 10000000 people or perhaps 30000000 it depends where you draw the Boundary Line what is certain is that the indonesian capital jakarta is one of the worlds most crowded cities and one of the most polluted and on top of that its sinking the results of uncontrolled groundwater extraction and for these reasons the government is looking to move the capital today indonesians learned roughly where that might be. Young the capital city is not only a symbol of National Identity but also a representation of the progress of the nation that we do this is for the realize ational of equality and Economic Justice this is for the vision of forward indonesia indonesia that lives for ever. Here by request permission to move national capital. To cali well is the indonesian name for the island of borneo its also shared by brunei and malaysia we dont know didnt reveal the exact location on borneo but has in the past toured the island looking for the ideal location borneo is said to be favored because unlike other parts of indonesia most of the island isnt prone to earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. The plan is for the government to start moving there by 2024 something thats expected to cost upwards of 33000000000. 00 for many in jakarta though the move could be their only hope. Jakarta is disappearing slowly being swallowed by the sea an abandoned mosque no more human to the citys bleak future scientists estimate as much as a 3rd of it could be lost by 2050 1000000 are at risk. That allowed us to get it why is the water level now higher than my home. Why am i now living below the water level. Maybe because the sea water is swallowing the soil little by little. But thats all i know. But luckily we now have that seawall now that. The sea defenses though showing cracks in the thousands of shacks that dot the shoreline here flood regularly. Leaving behind Hazardous Waste and pollution. In the past it wasnt like this it was nice there and the sea water was good the beach sand was nice and we could still play in the water now we cant do that anymore the water is macky and dirty it floods every high tide. That out of. Jakarta. To Climate Change and poor Resource Management excessive grown water use has led to massive subsidence the city is sinking residents are heading if not for Higher Ground then higher floors resigned to chaos. But im never good to know whats worse today im not so nervous about the flooding. In the past when the floods came i used to tremble i nearly drowned back in 2007 all my belongings were swept away and i had to start all over again. With. The government to planning a fresh start hoping to relocate the capital. To borneo such drastic measures arent an option for the poor to cost and living on the edge of this unfolding disaster. To germany now where finance minister scholtz is in the running to lead the countrys center Left Social Democratic Party s p d german media is reporting he told the partys interim leaders that he would run if they wanted him to would be the most high profile candidate running to lead the governments troubled Junior Coalition partner according to a recent poll he is currently the 2nd favorite among germans to become the countrys next chancellor the final s. P. D. Vote party vote will take place in december. Im joined now by our Political Correspondent simon young from our parliamentary studio simon good to have you how good you think olof scholtz is chances are becoming the new s. P. D. Leader. I think hes got pretty good chances or at least these chances would be good if this candidacy turns out to be confirmed at the moment were just hearing media reports that mr scholtes is ready to rumble looks pretty likely and he choses would be good because hes the 1st real political heavyweight who would be joining this contest there are 12 or more other candidates whove already said theyre running but you know hes the 1st one from the front rank as finance minister and deputy chancellor obviously he carries a lot of weight hes got a few more hurdles to get over though he needs to find a woman running mate because its been more or less decided the s. P. D. Will have a sort of double headed gender balance leadership in future and he needs backing from some of his cabinet colleagues as well and then of course hell have to appeal to the majority of the 420000 men because of the s. P. D. Who are the ones who will be voting on the question of who will lead them in future simon lets assume that he clears those hurdles i mean the yes to be a p. D. S. And slumping in the polls and through the asm is low and thats being nice is scholtz is he the hero that this party needs. Yeah well a hero isnt perhaps the 1st word that you think all in this connection shorts has often been described as sort of cool and technocratic and even arrogant and he doesnt have much of that sort of down home charm that many german politicians of the left. Have had and of needed to get to do to advance in the past so. That spats against him or whats for him is that you know as finance minister he has shown that the social democrats are capable of exhibiting financial probity fiscal probity and good Financial Management of course that is worth a lot in a National Poll where germans look in particular at the economy when they come to vote yes of course in a coalition with the chancellor merkels c. D. U. Party what could scholtz mean for the government of he were to become the new head of the s. P. D. Well i think whoever takes over as leader will have to look at the question of how much longer they can carry on in the grand coalition of conservatives and social democrats. As a junior partner in that coalition the s. P. D. Have been doing very badly as you said theyve lost massively support and many of their own supporters even say that they no longer know really what they stand for thats going to be changed whoevers leader. Shorts might not be the man to do that because hes very identified with this coalition because hes been quietly supporting Angela Merkel for many years as finance minister. D. W. Political correspondent simon young thank you very much. Leaders of nations at risk from rising sea levels in the Pacific Ocean have failed to agree on new Climate Change commitments the meeting of the states into follow hoped to help limit rising temperatures but australia the worlds biggest coal exporter blocked a binding agreement in order to protect its economy. The half hearted handshake says it all theres nothing to be proud of here instead of a compelling global call to action the Pacific Island forum concluded with a watered down plan that opposing nations can easily opt out of the frustrated host scrambles for conciliatory words everybody should move together in the firmly spirit of the forum but i think that. Its used to start ups to the blaming game but all fingers are pointing towards australia and its Prime Minister scott morrison. Of the 15 most climate vulnerable states on the planet 7 are in the Pacific Region in order to protect them the leaders were hoping the forum would commit to action to limit temperature rises and agree to an immediate halt to coal mining these hopes for quickly dampened by the regions powerhouse. We as christians very strongly during our exchange in face betrayed me in school as though you were concerned about saving new economy. Situation in australia conserves about saving my people involved likewise the leaders of those of this rich moron tom just morrison has long championed his countrys lucrative coal industry he concedes Climate Change is real but insists it can be managed in a way that doesnt hurt his economy. Because try to cancel 1. 3 percent of the will to missions astride you. Want to start one on them. And if were serious about it wed better actually understand that emissions dont have a nationality and with the bulk of emissions come from thats whats threatening the worlds moment but at this point its also australias actions or the lack of them that are jeopardizing the future of millions of People Living in the pacific structure our responsibility morris and wont be able to walk away from. A reminder of the top story that were tracking for you at this hour protesters and police of clashed in zimbabwes capital harare supporters of the Opposition Movement for Democratic Change accuse the government of corruption and of mismanaging the failing economy.
