A raft rodent infested mess thats what President Trump called the city of baltimore at the weekend to help raising many of its residents we send a reporter to find out what its really like. Hello im terry Martin Thanks for joining us and you government protesters in hong kong are refusing to back down this morning hundreds of demonstrators disrupted Train Services by blocking the doors of commuter trains its part of their campaign to increase pressure on the government to give in to their demands for more autonomy from Mainland China. They. Rush hour and one of the worlds most densely populated cities in the subway system commuter chaos. Activists have blocked the train doors. Calling for democratic reforms and independence from beijings rule the protestors hit where it hurts the daily grind of hong kongs economy. The top of beating at times on this 8 hour off my things my work at heating to wake us up Freedom Safety and human rights and to get away and got caught with some ok with that come along for yourself right because i think the governments with the response to the mom of the citizens i was the last 3 people all thought cairo these are. The protests began over 8 weeks ago against a proposed bill that would allow suspects from hong kong to be extradited to Mainland China for trial i the bill was shelved but demonstrators are now demanding its complete withdrawal. Theyre also calling for hong kong leader kerry lead to step down and for greater autonomy i lawmakers in europe and the u. S. Have weighed in many defending the protesters and saying the police have used Excessive Force the Chinese Government said that this was hypocritical i sat down to continue our what if you ask the u. S. Police if there were a similar violent attack on the police in the United States in washington d. C. Or in new york city how would they respond i think everyone can imagine the scenes i got to crete sounds you. Know for me. Beijing has not addressed the protesters demands for more democracy instead it insists on a return to order in hong kong. That some city lawmakers have taken the side of the movement saying beijing is out of touch the impression of hong kong is simply a fundamentally wrong if the so far away from hong kong. The demonstrators would most likely agree and they seem willing to continue the near daily disruptions until their message gets through. More delegates talk to our correspondent in Hong Kong Phebe kong is standing by for us there p. V. Why are the protesters now targeting the public transport system whats their strategy. Im for them this is the kind of. Action which they put it in the thousands way pretty different from 2 days before we have seen the clashes on the street and now they are taking some rather more peaceful approach to try to stop. This stop the Public Transportation system they want to put put a pressure on the government by increasing the cost. If they know it at the moment so theyre going to do it and this is actually not the 1st time for them to pull off at the natural life and they want to make that choice her life by putting the pressure on the government and for them this is actually something not thousands so they think that this might be less controversial if theyd like to do it this way the Security Forces there in hong kong used rubber bullets and tear gas against demonstrators over the weekend how are the police dealing with this latest protest action. Yeah we have seen i clashed over the last weekend in hong kong both in Hong Kong Island and also in the district and police have fired. Thousands if not hundreds of shots of tear gas and also. Have to spray and passionate rounds to the protesters so. We can see the escalation off the field has police force used by home police they have also intensified the cross theyre using also theyre using the weapons to try to disperse the protesters so we can see that both they both asked the late night. Actions they too was trying. Western governments have criticised authorities for their handling of the protests how is this affecting the relationship between china and the west. We have heard in the past one to 2 months have been Chinese Government they have emphasized and reiterated for various time they wanted the west and western governments not to intervene into Life Hong Kong issues but as we know hong kong is that International Financial hub which affects the interests of not only the west but also china so. Thats why this is also one of the reasons why the west or the well is looking closely to the situation in hong kong but. If the Hong Kong Government and the beijing government and not backing down to any other come on making compromises to the protests to israel likely that posthaste in the coming after late and we may see the tension between the west and the Chinese Government they will like this to intensify as well and putting them in a more embarrassing situation phebe thank you very much t w spivey kong there in hong kong. And they were out of trade talks between the u. S. And china is getting underway in shanghai its the 1st face to face discussions since negotiations collapsed in may washington and beijing have so far hit each other with punitive tariffs covering more than 360000000000. 00 in 2 way trade a tense standoff centers on washingtons demands for china to curb the alleged theft of American Technology and provide a level Playing Field as the u. S. Says for American Companies its. Our china expert Clifford Kernan is following these talks for us and joins us now good to see you clifford so weve got the negotiations cranking up again between beijing and washington theyve been talking before without a lot of success is there a prospect of a deal coming out of these talks well we havent had any contact official contact since may except for the g 20 at which they appeared to be coming close because trump and she made some small concessions very public concessions and i think thats indicative because its a very political story so actually predicting whether theres going to be a deal or not is still very opaque and theyve got a lot to theyve got a lot of ground to cover the got a lot of ground to make up so i think we will wait and see i think were going to see more its going to be more about admin i think and sort of setting up things before we actually get a deal which should be further along the road so theyre still working on process here but meanwhile weve got tariffs already in place covering 360000000000 dollars worth of goods a lot of money whos winning this trade war well trump is playing this in a very cavalier fashion hes sort of saying we dont need we dont need to worry about this you know that that the u. S. Is getting all this money from taxpayers. Which economists disagree with i think one figure which is a recent figure which stuck stuck in my mind is that 90 percent of Chinese Investment into the u. S. Has dried up since trump came to office so i think this has to start having an impact on the u. S. Economy we know that its impacting on the chinese economy and its certainly seen the slowdown there in Industrial Production but i think its also beginning to be felt in the american heartland in the in the farms where a lot of the trump support is so its not as clear cost as it initially looks and i think that ultimately the u. S. Is going to have to start dealing with these problems at home a lot at stake for both sides clifford coming in from v. W. Business thank you so much for now lets take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today resilient Authorities Say at least 57 people have died during a prison riot in the north of the country officials said brutal fighting erupted between rival criminal groups at the mira prison in pariah state the death toll may still rhymes the u.

In mondays incident the man did not know the woman or the child criminal psychologists say thats not necessarily uncommon. This motif most needed approach was a motive doesnt have to be related to the victims they can simply be random victims and it has more to do with the offender their personality and their mood than the amount thats why when someone has murderous intent and wants to carry out a violent act into something horrible then that can be motive enough.

U. S. President all trump cause yet another controversy at the weekend by calling the city of baltimore a rotten rodent infested mess critics say he launched the attack because of black politician from the city illogic cummings and slammed trumps policy on migrants at the border some have described trumps comments as races to use all over solitaire has been to the city to hear what some of the residents feel about this latest focus on their hometown. The city of baltimore faces many problems and one has been there for many years west baltimore which is prone to crime and violence and where the streets are indicate. One of the last homicides happened just here a few days ago and with more than 300 people murdered last year theres no doubt that baltimore is one of the most violent cities in north america but does this make it a rat and rodent infested mess President Trump says a series of inflammatory tweets from the wide tells is baltimore slee this problem President Trump calling the city of very dangerous and filthy place worst in the us a and says no human being would want to live there President Trump statements are wrong. Represent a political attack and a lack of understanding regarding the dynamics of baltimore the dynamics of crime a city with a black population of more than 60 percent some feel insulted by the president s rhetoric but others say there is some truth to what he says hes right about some part as well like others like if you havent been here you cant really say anything about it especially if youre not helping the city hes right about what he then it may be in a way that but that there will drop the fear that i get is i think of people who are insulted are absolutely justified in being insulted because he has no idea what hes talking about but thats the case of everything what does it mean with his attack President Trump is taking on some of his most vocal critics congressman Elijah Cummings who represents parts of baltimore in congress they are human beings. City councilman leon ping katz says toms attacks on baltimore are above all political gamesmanship a congressman cummings has been doing an exceptional job as he chairs the Oversight Committee in congress and. The reality is he is and as a result of his work im hes shedding light on a lot of issues that are directly respond that the president is directly responsible for and when we talk about our border policy when we talk about the the the treatment of immigrants a good reason for the president to take on cummings and his Congressional District even if that doesnt improve the situation in west baltimore.
