And with his country in the grip of massive protests colombias president begins what hes calling a National Dialogue. The big. Thank you for joining us prodemocracy candidates in hong kong have won an unprecedented and symbolic victory in District Council elections voters turned out in record numbers after almost 6 months of protests that have cause a territorys worst political crisis in decades live to soft rock in hong kong in just a moment but 1st this report from scott hyde. In a sweeping victory prodemocracy candidates made huge gains in hong kongs District Council elections gaining control from pro beijing parties. The voters sending a clear message in the 1st polling since the protest movement began. Even before the polls closed it was clear that this was an extraordinary election and a record breaking day for hong kong elections the highest voter turnout ever over 70 percent of registered voters cast their ballots after nearly 6 months of at times violent demonstrations the polling was seen as a way for voters to officially take sides in this deeply divided city of 7000000 back the probation candidates in the Hong Kong Government or those who support greater democratic freedoms for hong kong in line with the protesters whove been fighting to push back on what they see as increasing control of the mainland china. This election meant a lot to hong kong the older generation who. Of the Younger Generation hopes for change. Its usually a sleepy election to select a low level local government positions but many will couple early to vote as there was concern that unrest could mean the polling could be cut short for the prodemocracy camp is about a vote of confidence on no confidence on the kerry lamb government and on the excess use of police force against protesters but a probation can there was say this is also a defacto referendum on the protests and the violence there was an un easy calm during the few days leading up to the election just a week after some of the worst violence in these nearly 6 months of protests thats mainly because both sides knew this election is critical to their cause. Kongs leader kerry lamb while casting her vote recognise the challenging times for the city and the importance of peaceful elections. Andrew chu won his 4th term as District Councillor the prodemocracy candidate was brutally attacked earlier this month part. His ear will bitten off. Howard which can have a very strong increase. To a new method for the home from the beijing for it and also the International Community does the home as they stand firm together trying to keep on fight for our freedom and democracy so even though more people voted than ever before and this is a significant election its unclear if the victory for the prodemocracy parties will ease the violence or help to mend the divisions here got our phone call. And joins us now live from hong kong just bring us up to speed with the latest results just how big are the gains made by the prodemocracy candidates. For the latest official figures at the moment a 388. 00 seats in the District Council elections to the prodemocrat a democratic parties and 58. 00 to the party so its clearly a landslide victory for the prodemocracy movement and this is obviously normally a traditional and a bit full kind of electional vote but we saw this record turnout of 70 percent of people in hong kong or voters registered going to the polls on sunday now to look at the analysis and give us an insight of what this means for the protest movement im joined by and is an old town boy and been on the front line for months but these protests what does this mean does this mean that the people are behind the prodemocracy protests have been causing some coyotes in the city for more than 6 months i think its hard to see it any other way going into this people thought it would be a referendum on the protests and the governments performance the government of the pro beijing parties talked about there being a silent majority who would finally have a chance to speak out against the protesters but it seems like that silent majority in fact were behind the protests after all do you think this could certainly have the protest movement do you think theyll be is a morale boost and the. Demonstrations well it certainly gives them an opportunity for something of a pause one of the things you hear protesters saying on the streets these last several months is we cant give up with nothing we paid such a high cost in terms of injury and arrests and so on this really gives them something thats a tangible political outcome that might be an opportunity for them to take a step back and reassess the next steps for their protest movement do you think beijing will be listening to this election result what beijing will certainly have got the message what they choose to do or that will be an interesting question it may be a sign that rather than listening to the protesters more they may try and crack down even further to try and bring hong kong under control and thank you very much for joining us. I was just spoken to another probation legislator in the midst of council hes a portray anything and indicated that that the government the lips of counsel and kerry lamb must listen to this voice hes also suggested protect potentially even a Cabinet Reshuffle of course this is looking ahead to the bigger lection which is appointing hong kongs next chick a chief executive which will be in 20 twentieths and next year thank you for that for us in hong kong in other world news highly classified Chinese Government documents are getting a stock insight into the mass detention of ethnic minorities mostly muslim way course rise groups estimate that more than a 1000000 people have been top in camps in the region the documents have been obtained and verified by the International Consortium of investigative journalists they detail how police use an Artificial Intelligence driven data system to select who will be detained once inside the cab every aspect of their life is controlled from frequency of toilet use and haircuts to visit some want.

And people have been protesting and its on there for a 4th day tell us what its like on the streets right now. Well again people were out today in different parts of town holding demonstrations the difference was that fortunately there was no violence no confrontation with the police this is also something that as an energized the people made people more angry the fact that there is a feeling the Security Forces that have been very violent in their response 3 people have died on thursday yesterday. 17 year old that was demonstrating in the center of bull but that was hit by a stone grenade by the police and is in critical conditions in the hospital people are tired of this response theyre saying that. My joy the of people are demonstrating peacefully that these have been massive Peaceful Demonstrations and they dont want to police to mill move in as theyve been doing to disperse people as soon as they try and march on on the streets which legally they can do but people are saying that they are not afraid anymore and that they will continue demonstrating again today it has been an absolutely peaceful day of demonstrations and were going to have to see what happens tomorrow that promises to be as big as a National Strike that weve seen on thursday when more than 250000 people were marching to go without thank you for that alessandra live for us in bogota in bolivia interim president jeanine signed legislation paving the way for new elections that bar former president ever maraniss from running away the violent protests after a disputed Election Results force more honest to step down 2 weeks ago more than 30 people have been killed in the armrests Mariana Sanchez reports on the pass.
