Lets than a month after a president ial election plunge the country into chaos the battle for libya so only seems to be escalating lets get some analysis now from the tussle linge that of Essex University in the u. K. Shes a professor of government and an expert on authoritarian regimes thanks for being with us this morning professor up 1st of all weve got an opposition politician. Declaring herself interim president of bolivia while the former president if a morale this is calling it a coup how do you see this playing out well hopefully theyre going to be able to hold elections and yes had announced yesterday that they were hoping to hold elections by mid to late january and thats whats going to be really critical to restoring confidence and trust in the system and i can see that what alice from mexico will be trying to rile up his supporters will be stating that hes going to be making a comeback and thats going to create instability because for the moment theres a large portion of the population that is fed up with him fed up with the fact that he violated 2001 constitution in an engineer and a 4th term in office so the big hope libya is that they could somehow against ability in this interim period by now seeing that elections are going to take place and then that will gain public trust this in a chance that more of us will stage a comeback i mean he still has quite a following. He does and i think its definitely likely he is going to seem to come back in just a matter of when and its more likely to be successful if you just wait and bite his time a little bit and then allows this next elections and play out and then tries to come back its going to be a huge mess and he tries to come back to. Well ok lets look at the Bigger Picture here bolivia is having a crisis obviously theres an uprising though also in neighboring chile ecuador and who honduras are experiencing on rest how concerned should we be about this instability in latin america. Its very concerning but this has been a problem that latin america has faced for decades because they have incredibly huge gaps between rich and poor as weve seen in chile and you have very personal istic style of will you have a very weak party and you have very low levels of trust Political Trust and trust in one another and this is a recipe for a lot of instability and weve seen this over and over again where theres been cycles of dictatorship fall by a little bit of democracy and then followed by instability its actually have been a really democratic period for latin america and so the hopes are with this particular instance in libya if they can restore stability quickly move towards democracy that could be a model for other countries professor thank you very much for talking with us that was natasha lynched a professor of government at Essex University.

Hong kong police chief is say approached. Democracy demonstrators are pushing the city to quote the brink of a total break. 2 days have been among the most violent since the demonstrations began 5 months ago. The main flashpoint has become the University District where there have been fresh clashes between demonstrators police. They say theyre protecting their University Just say use anything they can get their hands on secrete barricades so campuses have emerged as the latest front in battles with the police.

For spotting the ts pulling a has been covering the protests from the beginning and joins us now from hong kong but the police there warning that the city is on the brink of a total breakdown whats your impression. Well i am now not very far from the Central Business district one off the center of todays clashes where chinese banks have been vandalized and police and protesters have been charging at each each other as you can see shops here are working so people somehow do get along but what is true is that we have seen an escalation in violence in these last 2 days that is unprecedented. There have been clashes all over this city into the until late at night before the clashes used to end some time around midnight latest 2 oclock this morning it was until very early protestors have occupy campuses have fought back police for the 1st time since these. Demonstrations of these protests started so there is the there is an escalation both sides are hardening theres no doubt about that but he has these protests seem to have taken on a life of their own now do the demonstrators still ahead clear demands that have any chance of being met. They have very clear demands their 5 demands and one of them has been met thats the withdraw of this anti extradition bill but there is a very important demand for an independent investigation into the Police Something that would probably ease tensions here but the protesters are saying all their 5 demands must be met and colluding universal suffrage to democratic elections that is very unlikely that this would be met considering that beijing has to make a decision on that and we have a hardline government in beijing highly ideological that will not meet this demand furthermore the chief executive has said she is not willing to meet any of the demands. Saying. This would just give them a satans off that they achieve something with violence so she thinks the best way to deal with this is not meeting their demands shes been doing this for 4 months its her assessment obviously why she thinks that this is wood. But heres what he expect to happen there today. We see we know its seeing the clashes in different parts of this city and the university that has been occupied yesterday with the police has been pushed out off campus is of course at this center today i we are not sure now how the police is going to react most people expect that and at some point they will try to come back there to protest this i have seen it yesterday have prepared hundreds of molotov cocktails to meet them so this is of course a very very.

Tesla is said to build its 1st european factory on the outskirts of berlin c. E. O. Announced the plan at an awards ceremony in the german capital the new gigafactory as its called will produce vehicles power trains and batteries last says tesla chose germany because of the countrys reputation for engineering prowess the new plants will create around 10000 new jobs and we based near berlins new rather long delayed. Lets get more on this now from his role. Watts from the business could see rob. First but still listen here why his must decided to build a big factory near berlin in germany at all whats the business rationale behind this but as you mentioned germany has engineering prowess thats known throughout the world that made in germany badges something thats much coveted so thats one of the reasons that hes given for doing this it also as we know has one of the biggest automotive sector is in the world so theres already a great deal of talent here that he can shore panos a german regulators a well used to dealing with mass market car produces the infrastructure in germany is very good for getting those cars out there and also the German Government is protective of its automotive sector it helps them out there is also something that tesla specifically can benefit from which is the German Government is planning to invest around a 1000000000 euros in the production of electric car batteries so thats something thats right up test streets but there are drawbacks of course to germany it is one of the most expensive places to manufacture in europe but these are not cheap cars tesla cars you know you that youre looking at upwards of 40000. 00 euros for the cheapest one so thats less of an issue for tesla ok well obviously musk thinks theres a market for these cars in germany and elsewhere in europe and he thinks it makes Good Business sense to build it here but. You know fill us in on what this factory is actually going to do what it is when is it supposed to finally be up and running and whats going to roll out of it so he was a little light on detail during this speech yesterday he didnt say exactly when its going to open but tesla has said in the past that it wants to begin producing in europe in 2021 now that seems like quite a fast turnaround but if you bear in mind that tesla started building a factory in shanghai earlier this year and has already big. Test production now you can see that its not beyond the realms or civility that that could be the date were looking at as for the want well he said in a tweet that he posted after making this speech that theyre going to build batteries power trains which sound more exciting than they are theyre basically what transfers the power from the battery to the wheels and the vehicle is themselves starting with the test a model while we also understand that a bit further down the line they may Start Building the tesla model 3 that as well it looks like this plant is going to be a similar scale to the one i just mentioned in shanghai if thats the case the one in shanghai is a expected to be producing half a 1000000 vehicles a year at its peak ok you mentioned german car makers in the German Government liking liking to support them protect them in some cases what do german car makers make of this move do they see it as a threat well it has to be a threat to some extent does need that youve got a major comic moving to your doorstep moving onto your turf presumably by producing in europe it will mean that these cars become cheaper to buy for consumers in europe so thats something that theyve got to think about its also a competition for the german car makers who have got their own electric car projects in the pipeline and tesla has to be in ahead of the game on a few of those things but the same time theyre all ways in which you can see this as a positive forward germans automotive sector i mean at the very least its a vote of confidence at a time when theyre still reeling from diesel gauge you know say theres falling demand around the world thats hitting german comic is theres also the fact that germany germanys comic is have struggled to modernize and having such a Innovative Company as test moving into that territory could be just the shove they need the innovation game competition and maybe a vote of confidence watch from v.
