So engine here is the gateway from Mainland China into hong kong territory behind me theres a Railway Station theres a bus station theres a way for pedestrians to make their way into hong kong territory now also whats been happening here into engine over the last couple days is quite interesting you know there was a state run media that put out video and stills of armored personnel carriers and Paramilitary Forces gathering here in the city actually in athletic fields just outside central now obviously this sends a message to those who are protesting in hong kong theres this big military force just across the border the Central Government says they are here for a large exercise its going to be happening over the next couple days this is coupled with the strengthening of rhetoric also coming out of beijing calling whats happening in some of those protests terrorism and saying that they will crack down with an iron fist but when you talk to people here in Mainland China about whats going on in hong kong they have a much different view than those in hong kong they say theyre frustrated theyre angry and theyre also scared we actually talked to some people who are going on their way into hong kong from Mainland China here one family was going to Hong Kong Disneyland and they said theyre frustrated because theyre worried about the safety of their children so obviously a much different view of whats happening in hong kong here in Mainland China.

Russia says its winning a Nuclear Arms Race despite a mysterious rocket testing accident in the north of the country which caused a spike in radiation levels the blast happened on thursday at an offshore naval testing base in several vince northeast us in petersburg at least 5 people died russian doctors who treated people injured in the incident had been taken to moscow for medical examination the official explanation has been given as to why the explosion caused a radiation spike of up to 16 times the normal level of a city is a test site for Ballistic Missiles used by Nuclear Submarines step us and has more from moscow. Only 5 days after this mysterious explosion in the north of russia in the area of congleton we now know that the Weather Agency has measured radiation levels up to 16 times higher than normal in the city of suffered since where exactly this testing nearby took place the highest measurement was actually at a kindergarten so of course theres a lot of suspicion and also conspiracy theories going on here in russia about what exactly has happened the government has been very tight lipped the only thing that we heard from the Vice President ial spokesman was that people should just trust the information thats been conveyed to them by the russian authorities and also about these radiation levels he said that all the state agencies are working to make sure that the people are safe but of course a lot of people still remember what happened in chernobyl in 1986 that was of course a different scale of radiation there but also then there was an information blackout and thats exactly where people are really worried about the suspicion of course increased because the stories by the government has changed in the last 5 days initially at the ministry of defense said there was no radiation then suddenly the local authorities admitted there was a short but quite high spike of radiation and then the the levels went back to normal initially there were 2 victims suddenly there were 75. 00 scientists died at the site and then only on sunday the authorities sort of confirmed that there was a Small Nuclear powered engine that exploded theres also a lot of speculation about what exactly was being tested there and american observers have said that this is the this skyfall the new missile that the lighting to put in the boasted about last year saying that this could reach every corner of the planet because it is Nuclear Powered u. S. President all trump has weighed in on the russian incident boasting of American Ship irritating Nuclear Weapons industry and fisher has more from washington d. C. No fishel reaction from the state department or the Defense Department here in washington what we do have is a tweet from donald trump of course its 21000. 00 in the United States thats the only statement weve got from the u. S. Government he put out the United States is learning much from the field missile explosion in russia we have similar the more advanced technology the russian skyfall explosion has people worried about the year around the facility and far beyond not good no there are those who are critical of what the president put out saying that this gives the russians a heads up on what the United States is working on if indeed that is the case theres always some dont when it comes to Donald Trumps tweets but if they are working on that then im sure it wouldnt be much of a surprise to the russians experts whove looked at the explosion see what they believe the russians were working on was a missile that could be fired anywhere in the world because it is powered by a Small Nuclear reactor and we know that the problem when it comes to dealing with Nuclear Reactors is miniaturise nation making them small enough to do the job that is required the americans actually looked at this technology in the fiftys and sixtys and had a number of failures and so it tended to forget all about it at that point now what is interesting is the timing of this it comes just a week or so after the United States pulled out of a Nuclear Treaty with russia and that led many to see theres a real possibility of a new Nuclear Arms Race but this weapon wouldnt be covered by that reagan era treaty thats because this is according to the experts a conventional weapon the difference of course is that its being powered by a Nuclear Reactor a very Small Nuclear reactor and that they believe is what caused the explosion.
