News. Hello and welcome to News from the b.b.c. World Service coming to you live from London I'm Julian Marshall and we go 1st to Hong Kong where Monday was meant to be dominated by official celebrations marking the 22nd anniversary of the return of the territory from Britain to China in state instead the days be marked by mayhem on the streets the trigger for the protests as it has been in recent weeks was a bill now suspended to allow extradition to mainland China but the anger of protest has spiraled out of control as hundreds of them stormed the territories parliament ransacking it destroying pictures and dubbing graffiti on the walls these were some of the scuffles outside the building as protesters Ramba doors. The activists occupied the building for several hours before being evicted by the security forces firing tear gas the police have now regain control of parliament Let's hear 1st from the B.B.C.'s Nick be in Hong Kong and Nick the parliament has been completely trashed has it. I j I think that's fair to say you can probably hear on the foot the broken glass and everywhere you look you see graffiti I'm just looking at one slogan which is stop me in my tracks Hong Kong is not China and really if you wanted one phrase that encapsulated the anger the essence of this protest today it is that feeling there was a real anti Beijing sentiment and so as I just wander into the foyer of this building which was which was laid siege today by hundreds of protesters they have left an almighty mess I'm looking at discarded of bottles of water and braless remnants of food you know it's going to take a long time to clear this up and of course a long time to try and. Repair some of the fractures in society this may well of course the police have regained control of the parliament building but had they regained control of the streets. Well I think for now they have I mean there was a moment where we didn't know what would happen the police forces here amassed having not been seen during the day in the end there wasn't this standoff we thought they might go in and drag the protestors out it seems that they went to their own volition just before midnight local time and so there wasn't this standoff they seem to slip into the night and people might find that hard to believe that they were able to occupy this building that they weren't challenged on the way out or maybe that they weren't interviewed or their details taken down it's clear that the authorities here thought they were in a position to do that and so these protests have gone but whether in the coming days and weeks with or if he's cracked down on them when they face mass prosecution here I think that would be an interesting development to watch and the protesters mostly young. Yeah absolutely I mean that that really struck me today in their late teens in their early twenty's students some of them political students they haven't seen anything like this before they haven't been in anything like this before but they are hugely aware of their future and they talk about their future being at stake some of them were born back in 1907 when the handover took place from British rule to Chinese rule and then looking ahead to the future they want to be the masters of their own destiny they want a future defined by democracy not people in Beijing saying what I can and can't do I can make many thanks not to the B.B.C.'s Nick be speaking live from Hong Kong in a short while ago I spoke to Hong Kong Democratic legislator Claudia my Who what did she make of the scenes in the city on Monday they are shocking the ferry I'm expected but then I and many home compete would understand the young frustration and really pound anger against the government and they are very upset at the legislature which has been just a rubber stamping body Odissi as it's a rubber stamping body because the Beijing function the race outnumbered the Democrats my social included all because of this very twisted election system and Hong Kong and in the last election we actually won a fairly handsomely although we still didn't manage to get the hof mock out of 70 but then the stew they would twist to laws and rules and what's half you to kick out all together 6 of our elected Democratic lawmakers how about that and the young could say that they've been very angry over this and this China extradition Bill Hill huge trade because it would mean putting Hong Kong. I'm the Chinese slow and that's what we've been going against what we call Lend Lease a ship building or just like any other mainland Chinese city but can't really justify the ransacking all of the territories parliament dubbing graffiti on the walls destroying pictures cannot really be justified in your view that's a very. Light gray I mean vandalism cannot be and tossed and as a matter of fact the young when court could be facing all kinds of charges I don't know if legal assembly criminal damage but then the they have adopted this we have nothing to loose approach I did talk to a couple of young apparently of the young earlier in the day and they were telling me the government has pushed them to this point on this cliff that Foley and they have to do what they have to do and they did it that's what you saw now it's very sorrowful It's heartbreaking but then in a way they probably fell into a trap because there was no police around or together the young stormed into this legislative building which was completely God They stopped at the vet and the licensing it and maybe that's the idea you know suggesting that they were live trapped by the authorities in a way I don't know if it's a fair kind of 1st speculation but I'm not the only one thinking that because all those pictures now we you can see around the world what somehow a plane them blame on the young that oh look at all these rough Ians and this riotous this completely unruly young people in Hong Kong completely mad and so. On and so forth we knew the anger could put to something that I wasn't expecting or the extend of the damage it was going to be like this I call full calm I wish can we land which just come out and explain his South Carolina being the chief Chief Executive do you think she should resign as the protesters have been calling for her to do I think she should except that. Beijing sources telling me that this is no. Replacement yet to take over and so even though the days might be numb she will be staying alone so all the more she should come out and try to pacify things a bit tell people to come down at that don't just blame the young for what's happened they would in a way. Hong Kong Democratic legislator Claudia. When Hong Kong was returned to China by Britain in 1907 it was under an agreement known as one country 2 systems which guaranteed among other things that Hong Kong would have freedom of speech freedom of assembly and a separate legal system and it's clear that over the past 2 decades many residents of the territory have maintained a separate identity as Hong Kong is rather than Chinese France's way is Hong Kong passport holder currently in the United States for higher education and she explained to me what she felt was the difference I think it's quite obvious to linguistically we are a difference because in listening Cantonese are the official language in Hong Kong and a great majority of people in Hong Kong speak Cantonese instead of mentoring which is China's official language and I think that you know culturally as we know Hong Kong was once a British colony and it is a very interesting city with a make self Chinese culture and Western culture and and the other part is that we you know we certainly have a very different education which teaches the values of democracy and human rights as we always say that's the core value of whole goal is a list of freedoms that we enjoy including the freedom of speech freedom of assembly or freedom of press and so on which are not really shared by the people in China France is you keep on saying we and I wonder what you meant by that Western educated Hong Kong as such as yourself or Surely the older generation of Hong Kong as feel more Chinese than you do. You know when I talk about we I'm saying people in Hong Kong and especially for the you know the younger generation you know at the time of the handover people you know I didn't really think there is a huge problem with that and I wasn't born before the handover but the Chinese government are trying to get more and more control on us I think people start to change their mind and we feel like the government is being too aggressive that's why we identify ourselves more off Hong Kong or because we feel there is a kind of uniqueness that none of the other identities can represent us so we can't we are certainly not purchase and we're not the same Chinese and that's how like the identity of being color start to grow in everyone's mind but you look at the Chinese mainland does the motherland Not really because a lot of us feel like we don't feel very connected with China specifically I didn't grow up in the rest of China maybe my you know my father or my grandfather but I didn't like I didn't feel connected with this country especially when I see the record itself you know violating human rights and it just makes people in Hong Kong feel like this is not what we want to happen in Hong Kong the basic law spoke of one country 2 systems right but you don't feel that one country. I think it's a problem of you know identity and nationality because like Legally we are Hong Kong is part of China but it doesn't do anything with my identity because we feel more connected with Hong Kong its own culture instead of the whole Chinese culture and it's right that we have the one country 2 system but when we are looking at what is going on at home go right now it's just feel like we're moving to where it's just one country one system however you feel about having a separate identity Don't you think it's inevitable that at some point in the future Hong Kong is going to become part of mainland China yes but my nationality has nothing to do with my identity a lot of Hong callers would decide to hold on to the identity of being Hong Kong or instead of a Chinese that is France's whole Hong Kong passport holder currently in the United States for higher education in explaining why she feels a Hong Kong rather than Chinese. Coming up the president devolves Salvatore tells the b.b.c. That it's up to his country to improve things so the people don't feel they have to seek a better future elsewhere I really would say to the people of our country that we have to focus and make our country better and make our country a place where nobody has to have to migrate and I think migrate if there is a right but it should be an option not an obligation or right now is the love is the obligation for a lot of people more from our door in a little over 10 minutes that I just headlines from the b.b.c. News from police in Hong Kong of regain control of the Legislative Council after it was early ransacked by young protesters who walked by the building for several hours and European signatories to the nuclear agreement with Iran of called on terror run to reverse its decision to breach and agreed limit on its stockpile of enriched uranium. You're listening to the b.b.c. World Service this is news on life for Syrian refugees in Lebanon has never been easy but now anti Syrian rhetoric is on the rise with the Lebanese government increasingly vocal in its design for the refugees to return to their home country. Foreign Minister Brown Bassil recently tweeted that the genetic distinction of the Lebanese will unite them in confronting the refugee issue human rights group Amnesty International says if actions curfews raids on refugee camps and mass arrests are making life unbearable for many in Lebanon and refugees are being forced to return to Syria despite the ongoing dangers from the 8 year old war but least correspondent Lina singe absent this report. Driving in the become valley you can see clusters of differing song and locations of refugee camps they're all in dreadful situation I talk to them they're all afraid of being pushed back to Syria. You know that level I know said. Mariam fled from Aleppo in 2013 and now lives in this camp of around 150 families she says a tent with canvas use and the basic concrete floor with her brother between their 2 families there are 12 people sharing the crime space and man our family she tells me the general security has stopped renewing refugees residency they're worried that the Lebanese government will force them back to Syria and have him. If we are forced to return we will have to go back and die she says her children are still traumatized by what they experienced in Syria unlike all the other families that are scared of the rest of forced military conscription if they return then it seems just. Syrian refugees now amount to nearly a quarter of the population in Lebanon and the country is facing very real and difficult economy conditions in February the Minister for refugee affairs made a controversial visit to Syria to discuss the refugee issue coordination between the 2 countries on the return of the refugees is highly divisive in Lebanon but Mr Deep says it's time for them to go free. But all that easy. All political parties want refugees in Lebanon to return but there is debate on how to do this so far there is no unified government policy but we are trying to establish a policy that is unified and agreed upon by all the parties we have against any force which our own but we want them to go back in safety and voluntarily but yes we do believe it is time for them to go back in I mean was Asean look at why the government claims it does not want to force the refugees to return the increasingly hostile environment is making it's hard for many to stay some communities and the government authorities are cracking down on any Syrians working without the relevant papers and permits which are more and more difficult to obtain here to leave the e.u. . At a restaurant in Beirut and n.g. All host an evening for workers who support Syrian refugees there isn't why us and other organizations are scared to be named is because the end of the space for civil society organizations working with Syrian officials in Lebanon is shrinking more and more what happened in the last month is that the janitors security office along with their army intelligence have come to all of the Syrian organizations they have I requested again I say chanst to declare all of the people who help them point games with them even at voluntary letter saying that the clause in the law that says that Syrians are allowed to volunteer is about to change and they need to know exactly who is in and these organizations and was supporting or even volunteering they want to annoy these people have a valid What is it and says Here in the country. In. The Syrian government has regained control of the lines shelf the rhetoric but the country is not at peace fighting continues and there is no political solution on the horizon for hundreds of thousands of the refugees across the border they are now faced with a choice between an unbearable life in Lebanon or an unthinkable return to Syria to have to. Listen Jap with that report from Lebanon. 10 common is the most famous and instantly recognizable of the gypsum Farrah's his golden sarcophagus is now a symbol almost synonymous with Egypt dead at the age of 17 or 18 he became the celebrity ferrite he is today in 1922 when his almost intact tomb was discovered in the Valley of the Kings Well this week a 3000 year old head sculpture of 210 come moon is being auctioned here by Christie's in London despite objections from the Egyptian authorities it's expected to be sold for more than $5000000.00 Egyptian archaeologists talked to Monica in Cairo described the sculpture to me it's less. About the stamp. Had it's also a spectacular piece in terms of cunt most probably it was from hard work because look for East Bank was the cult the worst place for the car or in the 18th dynasty of the King when the time come when Greek What's the expression on the face solve the sculpture it's an old well expression it never of a king that's being portrayed or cross or smiling and you say probably originated in Kanaka looks saw and do you have any idea who has own did over the years over the centuries where. Being literally excavate in all we had in Egypt the part that was law which for an excavation mission could take half the excavated material which is the situation with an affinity for example that's why she ended up at Berlin there is no Acton excavation reference so most probably it was stolen from the temple or from excavations around the temple like the digging we really can. So I mean as far as the Egyptian authorities are concerned the sculpture is illicit if you like yes because also what Christie's claim that their ownership is for the planes will help fund to work on taxes for live from 2004 none of his friends and none of his family say that it was ever fund of antiquities So this raises huge question how did this arctic the rich Christie Christie is adamant that the sale is in order it doesn't thing like that because I am so even then 1900 centuries if you look at something from Carnac or looks or remember and there is no way this object was found somewhere that Christians are adamant but I'll tell you a very quick story I've just been part of the investigating team which is set off a gas that was returned by t
