in some ways the universe can be compared to a loaf of raisin bread. the raisins that contains. when you bake the dough to raise and start off close to each other. then when the bread begins to rise in the oven the raisins start to drift apart the distance between them gets bigger. it's a similar story with our universe it's expanding and at an ever increasing speed in the process hundreds of billions of galaxies are moving away from each other. and that poses an enigma what force is driving this expansion physicists call it dark energy it can be compared to the rising agent in our love of the universe and the agent that seems to be growing stronger. to shed light on the mass or cosmologists matter x. radiation from distant galaxies but as even the glow of an entire galaxy can be too weak to detect they look at clusters. let's think about this raisin as a galaxy again for us galaxies are like lighthouses we can observe them from incredible distances vic and with the help of galaxies we can to some degree measure the extent of the universe. a new instrument for detecting. like th

over the weekend we have seen a lot of violence in the universities, particularly in polytechnic university. police went in very early this morning, 5:30am hong kong time to start to clear out the protesters. the protesters have responded with an awful lot of petrol—bombs, reports of bows and arrows being used as relative by the police. schools are still closed here in hong kong. they closed last week. it is a difficult time now because we have got elections coming up, district elections, council elections coming up next weekend. in the past, carrie lam the chief exec of has hinted these elected could be cancelled if there was continuing violence. at the moment that doesn't seem to be any sign that the protesters want to have a truce or anything coming up for the elections, although i do think that is carrie lam does go ahead and cancel the elections, that, or postpone them, that could make things even worse. as you say, things even worse. as you say, things could potentially get even worse over the weekend as well, andrew. we also saw the people's liberation army on the streets of hong k

yeah phoebe and i we were both inside the university when the drama unfolded that was on sunday when police lay siege to this university it was unclear whether we would get out what was very clear is that the protesters would not get out without being arrested police have offered a safe as scape seemingly went by when some of them try to use this safe scape they were immediately arrested so despaired then was of course the creepy creepy dominant sentiment amongst those who were inside and then they had the feeling that the only way to escape would be to try to violent as scape they could not do without because the police outnumbered them not only in. manpower but also of course in a weaponry and then we have seen throughout the last 2 days people trying to escape we have information that through just becoming more scarse in there so it's a very dramatic. atmosphere in there as far as we have seen it and. it is a choice they have is to surrender to to arrest or to try to find some other escape or try to stay a game it is a lighter letter of his or our viewers know that we're getting l

now this university is different from other universities in other parts of town in that it is in a hilly area and there are very few access points to this university so it's very easy to block off now the campus is under the control of the protesters and they are preparing for the police to return so they have set up not only barricades but they've also prepared hundreds and hundreds of molotov cocktails and weapons to counter the police if they were to enter but i in my opinion it's all it would be very difficult for them already for the geographical layout of this university and there is also now an injunction in court pending where the student unions have asked an injunction that would prevent the police to enter university campuses without. permission from the university administration this is what has been the practice in hong kong and this is what the what why the east these these attempts yesterday to enter the university led to these clashes because they thought it was a breach of the rules that were at the princes the students thought it was a breach of the rules that were exist

university campuses basically. we're always saying that 1st day tames are on the scene at the campus where saying people are being carried away in stretches not sure whether these are students all members of security forces because while the police have threatened to use live ammunition against the demonstrators we know that that was in response to an arrows in fire bombs and petrol bombs being deployed against them because we have seen this renewed intensity to the clashes with an element of. quite organized tactics you might say being used on the part of the protests as he was saying that the numbers inside the polytechnic campus had been swindled wendling so we have any idea how many students might still have been inside the police for trying to then. i did get to go to another state where there have been the past 2 days we found protesters dining barricades running around forcing barricades with the big barricades have they have looked fairly silly in the past but the whole protest has developed their tactics h

first about universal suffrage. as i said, if it were not for the veto of the opposition to the clinical reform programme in 2015, by 2017, i mean, two years ago, the chief executive, yes, it is not 100% universal suffrage, but it goes step—by—step. ambassador, you are a skilled diplomat, but you cannot dress up... when we talk about universal suffrage, its two areas. one is chief executive. the other is the legislative council. right? so, if it were not for the block of the opposition, next year, legco's election would be universal suffrage. 0ne election would be universal suffrage. one man, one vote, in hong kong. for 70% of the people. it's not going to be, there isn't universal suffrage. hang on, we've just seen the communist party in beijing declared that a decision taken by the high court in hong kong to disregard carrie lam's ban on facemasks, according to beijing, according to your party, is now null and void. so you are now intruding on the fundamental principle of one country, two systems. no, no, no.
